Thundercat Relives a Hot Sauce Nightmare While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

What a showman Thundercat is. He's unique, stands out, attractive in his own way, plays incredible music, is knowledgeable and nerdy, and is just a badass. When he realized he was eating a shows sauce he plays it up. I mean maybe it is that good but to have that reaction I am pretty sure was a little forced but in a good way. I didn't even notice the replica set! Holy hell. I thought they were in the same room just at different tables. He even has multi camera angles and everything. Damn. Dude is incredible.

I gotta disagree. Berserk gets much acclaim already. I think it's too popular to genuinely be considered underrated. IMO, it should be either Vagabond or Pluto.

This interview is equally entertaining and devastating. As someone who struggles with music composition Thundercat perfectly describes what musicians constantly think about. Sound, melody, and harmony. It takes so much effort and trial and error to come up with music that inspires a multitude. His understanding of video game soundtracks and all genres of music speak to his ability to create diverse and listenable music. The line is so thin.

Sending much love bro❤️❤️

[@b1_ferg]

Thundercat seems like a super chill and super likable dude. Easy to get along with, soulful, thoughtful. I'd love to sit and converse with this guy.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Me too

[@checkle1]

Sean's questions are slowly evolving into "write me a 12 page essay on the future of the music industry"

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Did not know this dude, but I will NEVER forget him. Give him a Barcolounger at the VIP table in the Hot Ones hall of fame, he is ... LEGEND.

[@Romanslost]

Seriously handled it like each sauce was sriracha

[@christopherwatson4752]

check out his music its just as legendary as him

[@Thebeckyfiler]

Can we talk about how Sean just proved that he is human? Never seen him falter like that but i LOVED IT

[@poasful]

this is the most info i've ever got from a Thundercat interview. i've never had seen him this articulate and eager to give clear answers.

[@justinkoprowski8443]

Thundercat seems like a guy I’d love to be friends with

[@waynehersheykiss08]

Yessss

[@SkyMightFall09]

I was hoping he’d ask or bring up Mac. He did. Love you brotha! “That’s Thundercat on the shaker” - Mac Miller

[@aerryn420]

That’s how I found him is through Mac and he’s the most chill dude ever. Love him. Was super stoked when I seen this show up.

@@amstell81 I don’t think anyone can top Mac’s Tiny Desk. Although, the tribute TY$, Thundercat, and Justus did was amazing to!

I did not expect the words “timesplitters” and “dynasty warriors” to come out of Sean’s mouth

[@spazdal1]

Timesplitters is the most underated shooter of all time.

[@coverage022]

@@spazdal1 the words you speak are those of factual information.

[@WenBilson]

I didn’t think I could love Thundercat more until he said “Berserk” One of the best Mangas of all time and one of the best musicians currently on the scene!

[@cubencis]

I liked him before but when he said "Berserk" he just went up 10 notches to me.. Berserk is the most underrated STORY not just manga

[@Isyoboyjon]

An amazing Manga, Anime, Story.. just *chefs kiss* struggle on struggler

[@Indiana_Jesus]

Yeah one of the best written mangas / animes of all time great in so many ways and also doesn't shy away from having scenes that do nothing but make you feel bad to a point that might scare away the average viewer But that's what makes it so great only true berserk fans understand the time taken to make us hate "The Hawk" more than any other character in almost any other story

[@somesquirrel]

It would be higher rated if it was finished

[@XLamonteCoxX]

@@somesquirrel I'm okay with Muira taking his time and keeping the quality high versus him rushing it and it becoming poor.

[@somesquirrel]

@@XLamonteCoxX I feel about Berserk the same way I feel about A Song of Ice and Fire, it's never going to be completed, so what's the point. In 30 years I will get to say, "Wow that was 3/4 of a really great story!!".

[@forresttwilliams]

Video Editors be phoning it in - he mentions JD Beck and they show stock drummer video. Even more offensive he mentions his brother, Ronald Bruner Jr, and they show Flylo! Cmon y’all! Get it together!

[@rektyrektingson4668]

Fr... Tons of footage of jd rocking the drums zzzz

[@blindboyflowers]

no drummer love! JD even getting a shout out was cool though. they need to release that damn album already, im excited to see how many features Thundercat has on it. :)

[@calebaguirremusic]

He talks about his Michael Tobias bass and they show the Ibanez lol

[@masondaalhuyzen5780]

For someone who's only listened to thundercat music since 2016, this is my first time hearing his normal voice lol

[@feztheaimless]

trying to wrap my head around Stevie Wonder keeping a pistol on him lol

[@fuziontonygaming]

How would he know were to shoot?!...

[@IncredibleIceCastle]

He’s only legally blind

[@dailyfitboost9051]

Highly underrated comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheRelandi]

Legally blind means you can still see, just not well enough. A shape is a shape and my man can still pap pap at 'em.

[@DruHaye]

Thundercat is so bad ass, he's put Sean Evan's under Genjutsu and now he cant stop hiccuping 😂😂😂

[@SigmaMale558]

Thundercat is officially the first person to say they like Da Bomb.

[@arnolddowney9807]

And then he said it was like drinking nail polish, lmao. Which is it?

[@SigmaMale558]

@Head Piece criiiiiiiinge

[@yosirishagan1229]

He did say at the beginning that he likes extremely spicy things...

[@phatjesus57]

I love Da Bomb the heat is perfect

[@hectorzm97]

Also Ethan from h3h3 did haha

[@Salazzarslaan]

Thundercat handled the wings so casual he reflected it back on Sean. Loved seeing his face light up at all the game and comic questions he probably never gets asked on other shows.

[@cliffordbunton8788]

Holy crap y'all. Thundercat is absolutely incredible. A certified legend at the Hot Ones table. Great pick guys! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@charlesl4200]

He's dealt with so much pain and loss throughout the years..its inspiring how positive and charismatic he continues to be

[@mr.gerber4609]

Anyone else catch the subtle Mac reference? “This sauce takes me back to two years ago. I remember that pain” 😢

Please don't change a thing about this show. This dude was/is genuinely interesting. Sean, wtf with the questions - excellent 😘

[@DomLaColla]

When he said "Berserk", I literally did a thumbs up to my screen. Wtf is wrong with me.

My dude got borderline emotional when got asked how important is the video game soundtrack to the game itself. He was feeling the feels.

[@jakecompton9699]

Seeing Cat on here makes me wish Mac Miller had a episode. He would've crushed it

[@aza.ak1ra]

Oh yeah, Mac Miller was one of the most charming, cool, witty and passionate musicians ever. The kind of person that comes into the room and fills it with energy and presence.

[@iWearBlackPacks]

I always think about that when watching Hot Ones. His personality would've been perfect for this show. Similar energy to Thundercat in that they're both chill, down to earth, funny dudes.

[@MrPeanutToes]

Man I thought the same thing. Sad af. RIP

[@BxgorJess]

I’m getting all the feels. I think it was one of the episodes w Action Bronson that made me wish Mac were also a guest on here. Or I’m not sure who was the other musician Sean asked about Mac after he had already passed & it made me so sad 😞. RIP Malcolm!.
