david byrne funny moments

12/11/2022: i made this video to show to the members of my high school film club 4 years ago and i never imagined it would get any views. thank you so much to everyone who has watched and enjoyed this video over the years!

"I believe it was Moses who brought the Ten Condiments" is a phrase that belongs on a plaque.

[@angelicaluce3230]

I thought you said "Ten Condiments is a phrase that belongs on a PLAGUE". I thought you were talking about the TEN PLAGUES OF EGYPT" which I "understood" - but then I read it AGAIN - and discovered you DIDN'T say that - so now I'm GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES. I'm in GOOD COMPANY with DAVID BYRNE - what a HANDSOME WEE LADDY HE IS!

Add in David Bowie for a very magical mix!

[@dwaterson21]

[@shrimpy420]

"Why are there 2 versions of the record?" "Because we couldn't charge everybody the extra money" Such a simple yet fucking hilarious answer

[@bailey9947]

That’s David Byrne for you. When asked who peer pressured him into shoplifting gum, he apparently responded “my peers.”

[@friday3829]

@@bailey9947 what else would one answer to that lol

[@gage6209]

It’s funny to me that he says his lyrics make as much sense as speaking in tongues, because his lyrics, and especially that album have some of the deepest and most thought provoking lyrics to me.

[@victormontano7148]

David Byrne was freaking funny without even trying hard lol!.

[@SkeeterMoose]

Is*

[@srldwg]

Yes! He was just being him, and came off so funny!

[@thomascassidy2724]

As a mid-millennia, his appearance on Space Ghost was one of my earliest experiences of him and I remember even as a child feeling like he was more "in on the joke" than most guests they had on there. What a character.

[@srldwg]

He really is.

[@patrickdriscoll1632]

hes like a walking episode of bad lip reading

[@glanni]

Ok that's awesome and true

[@bailey9947]

That may be the most accurate description of his personality I’ve ever seen

[@sgtrockisgoingtohelpme]

6:05 "Ive seen it in movies!!! :)" HES ACTUALLY ADORABLE

[@beepbow8444]

I still adore the self interview because he seemed so much more comfortable playing the characters than he was just being himself. Love that guy

[@crispmom]

David Byrne is just so delightfully weird.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

He's one of my favorite people in music.

[@FunkyMonk_96]

Ok when he had the long hair he reminds me of Tommy Wisseau 😶

No need to apologize, we all agree

[@kellygames8183]

You'd need a video that lasted years to catch every funny thing this boy does! He is a priceless gem!!

[@greyareaRK1]

Love his style. Seems like even he doesn't know what's going to come out, but there is some profoundness to be found there.

[@flux_time]

The guy was soo fuckin loopy on spaceghost i always remembered his blank stare fuckin funny hes the singer of a band ive known my whole life

[@leeannebiladeau7110]

He wasn’t being loopy he’s autistic. He was being his genuine self. He was clearly confused because he thought he was talking to him and not the praying mantis, and then his confusion led him to a bit of a panic for moment and he wanted to leave(or elope-what we call it when Autistics flee a situation). Then when he realized what was going on, he panicked again because he realized he didn’t have an answer, and was em embarrassed.

[@sixelakeller5377]

@@leeannebiladeau7110 he is austistic, but i think that was all part of the skit. it’s like his shtick now

[@rr7firefly]

When you learn about Byrne's dysfunctional psyche (he has spoken about it) you realize his strangeness is very real.

[@glanni]

Where did he talk about it? What should I search for? (Edit: I've seen some by now, thanks for the infos)

it makes sense. radiohead were collectively inspired by the talking heads and even named themselves after "radio head" from "true stories." they also did an interview together in 2007. i am a huge fan of radiohead and talking heads and would be interested in hearing more about the similarities if you would like to elaborate

This is great stuff and I love David, but I’m a little surprised that KZbin didn’t suppress comments on this video. They love to stop any genuine discourse.

Its not youtube choosing to disable comments, unless its a video aimed at kids. It the video uploader who decides.

[@the406seadonkey6]

You don't know what you're talking about. Comments are disabled by the uploader. Have you noticed that 95%+ of all videos have comments and most of those comments are drivel and idiocy, similar to yours and worse? KZbin isn't suppressing a damn thing.
