Finale: Reggie Watts at TEDxUSC 2012

[@JakeMooneyham]

Watching Reggie Watts is like attending a concert that takes place across multiple universes at once.

[@RunIntoMyKnife]

***** I laughed so hard when I read this shit.

[@rolandhatton2668]

Only the good ones

[@unreal_taxi]

Oh man, this is the one!

[@WatchdogGoon]

I like to imagine that someone, somewhere is watching this and trying to use it to learn English.

[@Manhole87]

My father teaches English in China...... I can arrange this hehe

[@WatchdogGoon]

Justin McMullen Justin you are doing humanity a great service, godspeed.

[@martinhoangnguyen1691]

Nekkminute 300,000 Chinese people talking to us in Beatbox and wondering why we don't understand.. xD

[@rawlove3314]

and spanish .)

[@idiocracy1604]

I'm this (french) person. And I'm laughing a lot even if some parts escape me :)

[@XoeYStardust]

The entire show turned out to be an ad for Nabisco. Absolutely ingenious

[@Wolmanforever5000]

For you guys that don't speak Spanish there was one part he kept repeating and said cockroaches, butter, milk LOL nabisco ding was the icing on the cake this made my day lol

[@mikeschneider1624]

we all speak spanish now

[@FelipeAkira42]

"With a little bit of accusation, you can go a long way" Damn that's good

[@henrymattei4886]

Reggie Watts could entertain us in so many ways! He could be totally silly or completely seriously do music and it's amazing!

[@JuanRomeroAbelleira]

Love this dude. He always brings it and has such great comedic timing.

[@aoarms]

seriiously that last song goes so hard for some reason

[@kcguy8864]

📠

[@alexniederhauser3829]

Unique, variant, abstract productions. Even in his trial and error, there is worth. Never bitter. Never stale

[@opngate]

Reggie is KING! He's incredible

[@MrBudaguda]

just unbelieveable, everytime

[@BennyBoy_1010]

He's my new favorite comedian!

[@THX-vp9fz]

Well deserved standing ovations at the end ;)

[@FirstPersonTroller]

"This song about death"

[@DerekMoore82]

Dang it Reginald, you blew my speakers with your shenanigans!

[@PickyMcCritical]

Don't worry, it wasn't your speakers. It was TEDx's microphone diaphragms. It's in the recording lol

[@andrearieta8291]

the sound engineer here did a terrible job

[@lorenzvo5284]

Actually Reggie is clipping the mic on purpose

[@lorenzvo5284]

I think

[@wingedshewolfen]

What a beautiful song about death.

[@cherylmeredith7141]

Reggie is beautiful music with a song writing process for comedy. Brilliant.

[@mran43]

this video right here is everything i love about reggie

[@livingthehardlife]

Urethra Franklin

[@gabeearle6660]

I agree with the description...

[@rappadapp]

LMFAO!!!! Loved how he ended all that with the Nabisco sound effect. Oh what a genius.

[@magicadolratz99]

Eric Andrė and Reggie Watts should collab

[@dradamov]

Is the Universe ready tho?

[@magicadolratz99]

@@dradamov Existence might collapse in itself but it would be worth it

[@kenny.m.olsen95]

@@magicadolratz99 definitely worth

[@wealthychef]

The "ting" at the end was brilliant

[@the72u7h4]

His his sweater is the best.

[@FenFoFo]

Reggie seems to be a true ambovert. A divine mix resulting in creative genius

[@clockclockclock7265]

No offense, but what the Hell does that even mean? People put too much stock in those kinds of labels, IMO.

[@firstlast-wg2on]

ClockClockClock If you don't understand what it means then you can't presume that it's a label for him to be under... Introvert is a state of mind where you are more quiet and prefer your own company than with others (or at least don't want attention alot if at all). Extroverts want attention and enjoy being loud and are generally more confident. An ambivert would have mixes of these traits usually at different times.

[@Mufflemonsta009]

Omnivert surely?

[@chrisdurston]

this person is one of my favourite people

[@xmicrox]

9:00 til the end is amazing. he's going so hard. his face and the way he walks up to turn the beat off...my ribs.

[@d3vilm4ster]

The master!

[@darkcnotion]

¡cucarachas, mantequilla, leche!

[@PickyMcCritical]

When he put down that little keyboard bit at the end, he knew he had something extra interesting :) And he rode it hard lol

[@hlqa7938]

el puto amo Reggie!!

[@anthonycarr3495]

The description of this video is perfect

[@BootFailure]

5:07 Death song classic.

[@youdontneedtoreadthis]

I've never seen anything like this

[@MattVargas]

We are going to talk about the concept of ______. Some people think ____ is ____ ....but, _____ isn't just about ____ it's about other things too.

[@namenamely5925]

WHY IS HE SO GOOD

[@colin6183]

7:09 the start of a beast chooooon

[@Maximforall]

i got goose bumps

[@toxicsweatproductions7442]

Most Excellent......

[@DaRealFiberOptix]

that was amazing

[@afroqueen99]

beautiful maddness

[@EoMarcos]

i'd like to see this guy collaborate with Tame Impala.

[@SamAndrew27]

That would legit be tight AF!

[@ThePageNo1]

Wild Impala

[@edibleg]

Necessito the Fritos from the bottom of my heart

[@TheScatman89]

[@jamesmcsparron]

Does he have a serious album out in the multiverse? It must be phenomenal!

[@Maciuxe]

i f´kin love you Reggie!!

[@FloraSora]

lmao, this is one of the best Reggie's done. OSHIT 0CTOBER 26 2012?! That's yesterday! Hell yeah Reggie!

[@stownurr420]

I'll just let everyone watch that wonderful video,,

[@austincaruso7596]

so hes the only person ive seen be able to speak emotion without real words. its his own language.

[@song8777]

Reminds me of watching all the various, seemingly unrelated shorts that would be featured in one episode of Sesame Street in the early '70s that would end up cohesive. Bits and pieces of life.

[@dominicdelprincipe2583]

oh my god.

[@marcussaroop]

Didn't the sound quality distract from this fantastic performance. The feedback was overbearing. Maybe the sound technician didn't know how to work with the power of Reggie's Watts.

[@rolandhatton2668]

Reggie watts are of an order of magnitude greater than themselves, so its to be expected that his unexpected shenanigans would defy proper recording procedures

[@thaterasound]

Time stamp? I'm not noticing any? Feedback in his delays or reverb? If that's the case, the effects are controlled by him and that's probably him doing it

[@thaterasound]

3:32 like this is all him doing this. Probably overloading the effects with how loud his mic is

[@almanzar89]

song that starts form 7:10 is any cover? if it is pls tell me the name of the song, its amazing!

[@TheMrFunktastic2]

Nah it's just Reggie doing his thing

[@Norcaloutside]

01-01-23-still loved

[@cyrusjerome]

yoo wtf this guy was rapping in spanish and rhyming lol. he blows me away evertime i watch him!

[@kenny.m.olsen95]

Shoutout to Urethra Franklin 2021

[@digitekbullet]

Wish we could have had a Reggie Watts and ODB collaboration

[@blooddrunk242]

This guy is better than the best of the bestests best participating in the best of the best bests contest by best buy.

[@eaglekiller23]

this man is a good reason to live in america

[@paulklt]

Wow he is awesome...

[@stopthemadness1998]

If Reggie Watts were 1.21 Gigawatts then perhaps he could, but he may or may not choose to be that particular amount of wattage. It is his choice, it isn't yours and you must respect that. It's really a simple fact of life. Amen.

[@mikejonhson5550]

just press 1 and listen (just listen)

[@nibblynobbler7064]

or play?

[@VirulentGunk]

One of the coolest people alive. Or dead. Or both. Or neither. Or all of the above, and none of the above. Maybe a little of the below.

[@kylestarfaux]

fro-fi

[@huldraslaat225]

A lot of people at the ted talks aren't prepared for reggie's bass signal.

[@lykkemarieofficial]

that song slaps thoughh

[@MG30001]

you are not allowed to record reggie watts with distorted levels

[@OfficialELTB]

What's up with the distortion?

[@gonzalo5567]

Guys, he intentionally made it sound like that. It isn't that Ted uploaded it all "shitty sounding."

[@GrizzzlyPanda]

***** Ha

[@gonzalo5567]

***** Well said.

[@georgerosebush9754]

Maybe, but it could be that it somewhere in the live sound it was going in too hot and distorting.

[@TheStuntastik]

Sounds like the recording/mixer channel was peaking hard but since it probably sounded good on the PA's nobody adjusted.

[@marcuschavez9588]

2:41 I watch this shit all the time. Anybody know some music similar to this?

[@briancook4078]

Marcus Chavez try some stuff from Vulfpeck, especially the song "1612"

[@marcuschavez9588]

Hmm they've got some nice sounds. Poinciana is dope. I kinda hate the lyrics to 1612 hahaha, nice groove though. Thanks man.

[@marcuschavez9588]

[@naiadyportamusic]

Urethra Franklin....I just died.

[@jefersonvilaede]

[@numbah12time]

Agreed. Guess there not used to having a musical genius using their sound system. Looks like they should consult that genius to help them out. ;)

[@larepublica524]

Just time in at 2:30

[@Raxerm]

Nabisco are upping the anti against Old Spice in terms of strangeness in advertisements. Your move, spicy boi.

[@Xxalfe]

Aw man, someone edit this and try to get rid of some of the clipping.

[@MrNathancast]

[@ximono]

[@luv2rocksamcabam]

that's reverb mate, not distortion haha

[@ReadytoChop]

He's definitely had his share of Oreos. They are loaded with calories and talent.

[@rockrollinnolan8521]

Now I want Oreos... :(

[@TheMrFunktastic2]

Agreed. How embarrassing.

[@enricgarrigasanchez260]

Cucarachas leche mantequilla manchego

[@sassythesasquatch8036]

Ironic he mentions Aretha Franklin and death in the same statement
