Finally! Someone who correctly answered the question about the most dangerous animal.

[@clifvaughn962]

I’ve yet to find someone else that truly believes we are animals. I swear I ain’t meant to be broke. The only mufuckas that think like me in public are Geminis or Clifs…. Just my experience, but yeah

[@JG-vq6rd]

It's funny you said that because humans popped into my head before he had actually answered. It's the obvious answer but it's the first time I've thought of it even though I've seen a lot of these.

[@clifvaughn962]

Btw we only dangerous cause we cheat. If a rhino had a gun🤦🏿‍♂️

[@TabethaAurochs]

It's obviously the right answer! I've been waiting for so long. Not surprised it's Andre 3000 who delivered 💜💜💜

[@AlexFoster2291]

That would be bears

[@thesoundsmith]

I've been waiting for YEARS for a guest to identify The Most Dangerous Animal as "Human..." Thank you Andre 3000, you ARE a man of vision.

[@LeeLLewis]

There are no monsters in nature except for humans.

[@tamrasmith1744]

This is what I always thought the answer should be.

[@ratchetryda]

Amazed it took that long to be answered right tbh

[@DJMarcO138]

I love that the band launched into "A Love Supreme" by Coltrane right as the segment ended.

[@pizzeo]

A Love Supreme was my answer before he answered and then he said something by Coltrane!! amazing. it's great because it's like 8 minutes long with so many changes. I can listen to that song for the rest of my life and be fine. It's so honest and spiritual.

[@MrQuestful]

Andre is the closest to getting Colbert’s number question right. Usually Colbert just responds “no” when they guess, but when Andre guessed “3” he said interesting… which suggests to me that Colbert is thinking of Pi.

[@naoise555]

Colbert has said that the number he's thinking of is a whole number between 1 and 100, and it's always the same number.

[@JG-vq6rd]

His Dad and two brothers.

[@nfboogaard]

I always thought it was 20, which is the number of rings forged to control the peoples of Middle Earth.

[@WackadoodleChes]

@@JG-vq6rd that makes sense and is so heartwarming and devastating at the same time

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

Cutting slits in the bologna is a pro tip that I never thought of. LOL

[@tonapittman]

It makes for more evenly cooked slices, but I actually prefer not slicing - smashing the dome down and inverting the bologna is too fun!

[@Sharonmxg]

learned that one as a kid, watching my dad

[@krisfrederick5001]

Andre just broke the most rules in Colbert Questionert in history and got away with it scott free 🤣

[@tonypayne7371]

A3000: I don't follow instructions. Then proceeds to give a100 word answer to a 5word question ,lol 😅

[@ryanoelkers1]

Andre 3000 should have a podcast and just talk about whatever is on his mind. No guests just him.

[@lisaellis2593]

Exactly❤.

[@michaelbraum77]

I see what you did there!!!

[@ChainsGone2012]

Shout out to the band for closing with a Coltrane song for Andre. And it's hilarious that Andre definitely didn't follow the directions on the last question about 5 words - calling back to his ant debacle from not following directions

[@aliprovidence9321]

He totally lives in the moment, with a genuine personality. Love you, André!

[@sarahc8493]

yes exactly. he does not try to be someone other than himself, always.

I like this segment because it gives me a small glimpse of people I do not know . And most of the answers seem honest and sincere . Always enjoyable 😊

[@blaiseutube]

+1 I never heard of Andre 3000

[@ekkys04]

Most recognizable point in his career would be the fact that he's the guy that sang "Hey Ya!" by Outkast Outkast has lots of brilliant work as a 90's/00's Atlanta rap duo prior to that album but nothing afterwards (as a duo anyways)

[@aburdett85]

​@@blaiseutube Have you heard of the group called Outkast? IMO, André is the greatest lyricist ever.

I'm almost 76 and grew up thinking I was the only one that ate fried bologna sandwiches!! Love them!

[@nathanc6204]

I had one yesterday for lunch 😃

[@tammyd.970]

Do you add mayo? That sounded yucky. I always added cheese in the second stage of frying. I thought everyone did. I mean the pan is already hot, it's kind of a requirement. I don't eat meat anymore, but I respect a bologna sandwich.

[@elleburney5158]

I thought that was a southern staple.

[@tomknoll796]

Been an admirer of this man since he first hit the scene with Big Boi as OutKast 😎

I know this is silly, but everytime I think of Andre I think of a picture of him in an early album, shirtless and with a lot of atitude...OR I think of him in the "Hey Ya" videoclip, because these were the only occasions I've seen the guy. Watching him "real-life" (as real-life as I'll ever watch him, anyways) is mindblowing. What a down to earth, chill, thoughtful and borderline introvert dude. It's not that I didn't respect him before, as I had no reason not to do so. But watching this/his awkwardness made him much more human in my eyes and therefore I respect him more now. This is probably silly, but I feel like I had to praise him even though there were moments he clearly felt uncomfortable. Way to go Andre, after so many years in the industry and you're still you.

[@itsamoggymoggworld]

I love how serious he’s taking this!! Every word is measured

[@Nestor123057]

When I was a kid, we went to the Bronx Zoo on a school trip. In one of the houses there was an exhibit featuring the world's most dangerous animal. You could see the bars in front of the exhibit. I walked in front of it and it was a mirror.

[@marcuscas]

Summing up de last answer in 5 words: The man is pure art!

[@barcelonachair6487]

Yes Andre! I have been saying the Human animal on this Questionert's. I have wondered why no celebs view us as animals or a threat.

[@d.e.7467]

That was fun. For the record, as a human, I am not intentionally dangerous.

[@Yungbeck]

same :)

[@ClintElder-qj1qu]

He said "scariest" animal, not most dangerous.

[@DrAyeshaJB]

Favorite segment always! Thanks Keanu Reeves

[@ElizabethT45]

His answer to What happens when we die is the first time I've heard someone else with my exact philosophy about it. Bodies generate electricity, which can't be destroyed, so that energy leaves our bodies and has to go somewhere. I think that energy mingles around with all the other energy around us. So when people say they can "feel" a deceased loved one, I think they possibly really do.

[@mrbuckaroobonzai]

When Andre said a "fried bologna sandwich", I had a tear run down the side of my face!!! I grew up eating it and still to this day. The slits and the way he explained it cooking just made me want to get up and make me one!! But on mine besides mayo I put a slice of cheese on it before it comes out of the pan, now that's a hell to the yea!!! Oh yea and I forgot, it goes down good with Kool-Aid or Fanta!!!

[@hereticpariah6_66]

André's ants remind me of the time i came home during an especially Hot day and I'd forgotten to turn on the air conditioning. My cat was panting and looked absolutely like he was gonna pass on 😢 so I called the vet and asked what to do?! I had no car and he was way too far away from me to come over. He told me, unbelievably, to put him in the freezer briefly so i did. I watched for about 2·3 minutes, but i had to pee Really Bad so I went to the bathroom, but got distracted after going. About 20 minutes later i remembered and almost destroyed the door yanking it open! ...my cat was nearly frozen solid. I called the vet again, only This time i was far more terrified. ... unbelievably, again, he gave the Strangest advice. ..he said put 2 drops of kerosene under each nostril, so i did. ... nothing happened and i didn't Breathe for 2 solid minutes. ... Then... He started purring. His eyes Popped open and he Took OFF! Started running around, in and out of rooms, onto the cabinets, i swear he went partway up Walls. And then he Stopped!..fell over and went to sleep. ... ... Vet says he ran out of gas.

Not to be whatever, but that's not fried. That's toasted. In the world of favorite sandwiches, details matter... 😂 (Toasted is clearly better, because you can put the cheese on there too and get it all brown. Do two face up sides in the oven and then assemble with additional stuffing if desired. Clearly better!)

[@weirdunclebob]

I disagree! I have some memories from my childhood but I don't know how old I was for each one so I don't know which one is my earliest memory. Watching Dad light a firework by the shed on Guy Fawkes night? Seeing the sludge on the footpath that was snow until it hit the ground?! Walking to primary school? Dunno. They're from over 53 years ago and all vague!

[@vsznry]

The reason 3000 said he "has to think about it" is because I'm pretty sure being a psychedelic spiritual guide is a two way street and that relationship takes a bit to develop before you even enter the trip. Its connection of complete trust.. so Andre "gotta think about it." From what I've seen on VICE lol No disrespect to Stephen.
