Friday Night Fights with Neil deGrasse Tyson

[@SimranKaur-qj7ng]

Tyson seems like the guy that makes road trips fun

[@APSXX]

He brings the weed.

[@RajitRoy_NR]

+Simran Kaur But actually I want Neil to do more of these science talks rather than a tiger vs peanut...

[@popc5245]

+Rajit Roy tiger vs peanut IS science!

[@Will-cv6xv]

+Atinderpal Singh In a recent AMA on Reddit he said he's never done weed and doesn't ever intend to. Probably the worst thing to tell Redditors. He apparently likes wine tasting. Makin' Papa Carl Sagan disappointed there, Neil!!!

[@popc5245]

Arthur Dent Sagan liked to do weed?

[@shkotayd9749]

There is HOPE for the world when a scientist gets THIS kind of reception :D

[@nacirema2710]

+Shkotay D So true, Lucy :)

[@FroMaestro]

+Shkotay D he's a celebrity at this point in his career. Stop kidding yourselves, lol

[@shkotayd9749]

FroMaestro Duh. Really?

[@FroMaestro]

Shkotay D so you agree he's a celebrity. At which point, it becomes less accurate to say 'a scientist' is getting this popular-level acclamation. He's done outreach, and he's getting paid in props. The end. Beyond that, this cult of personality ('audience was in heaven'; 'made science popular again' etc.) is cringey. 'Science', insofar as research infrastructure remains profitable, is not going anywhere. Look at CROs, lol. And the Bible belt has nothing to do with that. Money talks louder. It sounds to me like you're just happy that your team is surging ahead in the culture wars. And that's fine. Go team :). But there's no need to fetishize science along the way. It's basic attentiveness, diligence & integrity...writ large.

[@shkotayd9749]

FroMaestro So I agree he is a scientist who has made his fame by popularizing science. He's getting paid? Is he supposed to be a monk doing this for free? Frankly the less bible belt and Osteens we have and the more of these guys, the better. Science is indeed profitable, but the VAST majority of the worlds population has little or no knowledge of any fields of science or in fact what science is, and we place such people in charge of powerful technologies. Sagan had a lot to say on that.

[@MightyLightnin]

The nana joke almost made me choke from laughing so hard. The guilt-trip phrases were hilarious.

[@Logictrumpssuperstition]

People like NDT should be on TV so much more. Love this guy. Always teaches you something new.

[@muskylemon2310]

I love Dr. Tyson...bless his heart, he just can't not-Science. "Colbert - Tyson 2016"

[@AnEvolvingApe]

+Nick Scott My love for NDT is stronger than a black hole and my family combined.

[@muskylemon2310]

Big_Potato_dad he's an astrophysicist who makes the American public give a fuck about astrophysics. Can't blame him for sinking just a little lower than you need him to.

[@AnEvolvingApe]

Big_Potato_dad Who is your favorite science expert/personality so you can help me understand why you think NDT is an idiot?

[@1324Potato]

J Kim I have a PhD in mathematics and I'm working on a second in marine biology. Ndt traded science for fame. Have you even read his earlier papers? They are extremely hypocritical.

[@davidmanhart1]

+Nick Scott He is Carl Sagan Junior. Sagan actually invited NDT to stay with him for a week when NDT was in high school. He had written a letter to Sagan expressing his love of astrophysics. Sagan not only gave him a tour of his lab, but hosted NDT for about a week in his own home!

[@TheZavinskiStories]

Friday Night Fights is such a creative, genius yet simple idea! That should be funny forever if they keep getting great matchups and creative character amalgams like Jordan with the Shag lamp lol!

[@groundcontroltouncletom953]

+EZ64 the shag lamp if you rub it austin powers will come out

[@frank5520]

+EZ64 Just a bit inspired by ERB ;)

[@popc5245]

+Francis B you make me remenber the newton episode

[@TheZavinskiStories]

Francis B What's that? :)

[@MrTStat]

+EZ64 Hitler vs Vader is actually a video from Epic Rap Battles the Idea is not exactly new

[@flatpointhigh]

Stephen mouthing "I love him so much" after Paul left its still one of the sweetest things he has done on the show

[@krauser8429]

"black holes gets pulled over more then whiteholes" really? come one now.... lmao

[@mattschumacher4581]

John it’s true dude

[@lepsu0176]

hahahaha

[@sl8103]

Lol 😂

[@Costa_Conn]

Its true. A bleached anus gets away with heeps more.

[@strygwr]

weakness stephen hawking jahah

[@Cheese.9898]

My god... I would pay to watch a show where Neil and Stephen were co-hosts. I love them both, and together, they're twice as awesome.

[@SentinelPrimek]

Why are they calling the 9th planet Planet X instead of Planet IX?

[@mongolchiuud8931]

+SentinelPrimek Planet X is just a popular term. "X" btw is for mysterious or unknown in the scientific community and it doesnt mean 10 btw. just pointing that out.

[@XxRestlessGamerxX]

+Bob Belson (JEW-JITSU) Oh shit, I've been calling Malcolm X, Malcom 10 for all these years!

[@Whelmed.]

+Mjolnor - And I just finished a really good 10-rated movie about a pizza delivery guy.

[@saadb4444]

+Mjolnor X doesn't mean mystery or 10 for Malcom X, it means "ex". He converted to Islam and like many Black people had the last name of his great great grandparent's Christian Slave Owner (Slaves didn't have last names). So he changed to X , short for "ex"

[@CrystalsandCandles]

+SentinelPrimek ahhh... Clever

[@starsky1012]

"More likely to be stopped by cops than white holes"

[@sunnysoeder156]

How GREAT!! I remember when Neil first started interviews and he was so very serious, now he has a great time. It makes me happy to see such happy people. :)

[@Shezmen88]

that was funny as hell ; D

[@brettevans278]

Please make us a website that lets us non-Twitter users vote. :)

[@pederheibergsverdrup6073]

Get with the times

[@TheRockOfShame]

+Brett Evans I have one for the sake of having one. Tony and Family are both winning by a landslide.

[@psychopsyduck]

+Peder H. Sverdrup He probably doesn't want Twitter to suck away his soul kind of like what Tumblr did to me when I went back on it a couple years later. I am now convince that Tumblr is truly a level in Hell.

[@Mufflemonsta009]

Twitter is a load of bullshit

[@loganp4268]

+Erica M Congrats

[@SIMKINETICS]

Dr. Tyson is likely the most famous scientist in America due to his intriguing & entertaining way of making science accessible to many! He has the persona of a plain-talking guy who knows what he's talking about. Behind all the fun is a serious & accomplished scientist, which I've known for years. Then, I realized I didn't know enough about him, so I looked Neil up on Wikipedia... Wow! Dr. Tyson isn't just a showboat! Any self-respecting scientist should envy Neil's career!

[@alany3805]

clever product placement is clever.

[@1stb1]

too bad for them i am el cheapo, eating those walmart brand peanuts and cereal, ha kakaka

[@alany3805]

John Smith right on. i don't eat frosted flake cereal cuz it is super bad for health, with high fructose corn syrup and what not. cinnamon cereal is much much healthier. personally i think Mr. peanut is very overpriced.

[@potadrone5496]

+John Smith safeway for me

[@1stb1]

MexiCant 98 don't have one of those here. there are jewels and shnucks and meijers though. their parking lots are pretty empty compared to walmart, kekeke. i just hope the low price doesn't reflect the safety and quality of the food.

[@alany3805]

MexiCant 98 safeway is expensive, but the quality is top notch, especially the meat and fish

[@TheVancouverJatt]

skip to 3:50

[@Mechaghostman2]

"These are new forces of nature I had not factored into my equation." :D :D :D I love that guy.

[@jordanaguirre5813]

"Let's call it.. Plutoo"

[@vineethonkan]

Plu-2?

[@HamIAm]

Plutwo

[@AlexBeEditing]

I think this job is slowly driving Stephen insane.

[@HavocAlive]

Alex McDouchebag I just wanted you to look back in 2018 at this comment and give us an update.... thoughts?

[@HL-iw1du]

Ronan Greenwood he’s still hanging in there but is probably bored of this and does it mainly for the money

[@iludari9274]

+H L Douche.

[@orchidlilly7518]

Nah, Stephen had a great sense of humor.

[@Slopmaster]

Slowly?

[@vsh1998]

0:23 Stephen Colbert is an ERB fan! :O

[@LiterallyJustAGirly]

Love these 2 soooo much. Going on KZbin and watching all their interviews

[@NegativePressure]

Never has a man made so many people mad (removing Pluto as a planet) and still been loved so much :D

[@MusicMike512]

This is totally random but I was wondering why the sound at 3:53 was so satisfying when Tyson walked out. And then I figured out why... when Colbert said "Ty-sonnnnnn", that "sonnnnn" was spoken in the note of "D", and the music began on a B minor chord. D is one of the chord tones of B minor. And the blend just made it so much more epic.

[@Slick-666]

This is the first time I've seen this segment, and I loved it. please keep it up Mr. Colbert, I lost my shit at the WWE music during the stats lol.

[@raven50x]

I could watch these two banter for eternity. Love NDT & Colbert talks

[@ElNietoPR]

Neil and Stephen are the best TV couple!

[@AprilGabrielle]

OMG I'm so glad to see Paul!! I haven't seen him since Strangers With Candy.

[@pillowsdk]

NERD Stephen is the best Stephen

[@DistortedV12]

12:36 Neil's silently thinking to himself, "who am I turning into? I'm a scientist, not a personality..."

[@groofay]

Name "Planet Nine" something that starts with "P" so the damn planet sentences work again!

[@nishitraj.]

My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine P :D

[@rebeccasabet2802]

I think we should call it planet goofy

[@musicsweet2833]

Geoff Britton After having memorized them, you make a good point!

[@bealwyene4844]

I can listen to Dr. Tyson for hours. Wish I had him as one of my professor. Genius guy, so passionate about his field. He explains very complicating concepts about the universe in simple ways when I watched some of his lectures. He deserve many noble prizes.

[@aaronrodriguez110]

Weakness: "getting pulled over more often than White Holes" I died. lmao

[@Buffalo_Crone]

Love that tie, Dr. Tyson! Wowza

[@whatsuphotdog]

Paul Dinello! so cool to see him and Stephen being funny together again!

[@yasalenlasestrellas5913]

pleaseeeee bring this back, stephen! and also paul! we love him so much too.

[@CandyflossCottonCandy]

Random Fact Guy is here Banana trees are actually giant herbs Goodbye

[@AnimalFacingLeft]

+Candyfloss They're called banana PLANTS, not banana TREES. Do your research before posting next time. :^)

[@soflocawk7155]

+Candyfloss WOT M8

[@FretMillen10]

+Candyfloss You're a giant herb...lol

[@KrimsonVagus]

+Candyfloss Banana trees are giant mushrooms and we've been eating the spores this whole time!

[@MatthewDeanIreland]

+Candyfloss I thought they were related to grasses, so not necessarily herbs...

[@violetp642]

"You're the only one of us who lives in a city... You'll understand her." Hahahahaha!

[@veero7575]

"Long time viewers of last week"

[@enochwhite8006]

Hobbies include calligraphy and dance. Ahahahaha! I have no idea why that cracks me up so much.

[@evklinken]

Great segment. This show should go on as long as Letterman's

[@manigopal92]

@ 3:40 the best entrance EVER. Like a Boss.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@Chill2094]

Awesome! I luv Dr. Tyson

[@Dariocorral01]

@10:32 Black holes get pulled over more often than white holes LOL Stephen Colbert Kills me!

[@roseslikemusic]

They should take two fights from Epic Rap Battles of History and invite EpicLloyd and NicePeter to be the experts

[@factbeaglesarebest]

roseslikemusic no. This segment has class don't bring a rapper here.

[@MicJaguar]

Thats how you boost ratings. get the most likable astrophysicist on your show once a week. as well as surprise guests doing something funny. Go Colbert!

[@xSOLOArts]

Black Hole, Weaknesses: Stephen Hawking. lmfao im dying.

[@123heathertree]

I'm soo happy to see Paul Dinello in this! he's amazing.

[@eduardocortez476]

Nothing can beat a black hole "The obligation to be with your family during the holidays" ...well dang...

[@lindathalman3506]

hilarious. Thank you Stephen and Neil. Merci guys.

[@MrToolz.]

WE GOT A BADASS OVER HERE

[@dizzychineseman7445]

Plus i got your back nye

[@hr1623]

Astrophysics black guy

[@soimboredandtesting]

Bring this segment back!!

[@TheDoctorAndTheTardis]

Tyson for President!!!

[@felishalynch1963]

🤣🤣🤣😊 haha Stephen using nana as a stronger pull was priceless

[@co6403]

Pluto was my favorite planet God damnit

[@MynameisBrianZX]

+Co Pluto can go to hell for all I care.

[@Nowasta]

+MynameisBrianZX Pluto is already the ruler of hell

[@METALOZON]

+Co Its OK, there are hundreds small planets like Pluto in our system. That's why we had to ignore it. To many Plutos.

[@ericcheese7594]

Pluto was my favorite god, damn planet!

[@frank5520]

+Co Read that in Mr. McMahon's WWE voice.

[@joshuaschaller4400]

Fantastic new segment. Both weeks have been amazing

[@j.garcia6098]

I read Neil Degrasse Tyson and giggle like a girl.

[@MissesWitch]

"These are new kinds of forces of nature I had not factored into my equations" aaa had me laughing so much!

[@jamakasis18]

Black Hole would get shot by a cop on the way to the fight. Family wins by default

[@scepticrat]

I love it! Neil throws up the horns as he sits down! \m/ 4:09

[@mariokarter13]

Pluto was named after the Roman God of the Underworld, we really should've seen the demise of its planet status coming.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

mariokarter13 not really. Actually named after the Disney character.

[@sexybeast7728]

10:44 Did people not hear this part? Hahahaha i laughed my ass off so hard...

[@MNToor]

Mr. Peanut is the illuminati

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

Mahmood Toorani as an ""illuminati"of one N DGT would be an "illuminato".

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

I thought it was _Illumanatus_ or is that what they want me to believe?

[@rehpotsirhcyevrah9935]

Illuminutti

[@CornerCastCrew]

WOW! I was hands down voting for Tony the Tiger with No doubt he would win. Tiger vs Peanut, Tiger no contest. Buuut then Neil comes along and changes my whole entire mind! This man is Astonishing and Genius.

[@assymcnasty1035]

every video I see of Mr. Tyson, I gotta say...Neil's the man

[@ganeshrajpadhayay3714]

3:09 that Robert Downey Jr look though 😂

[@JayDubbskies]

So many Epic Rap Battles parallels... Darth Vader vs Hitler, Elvis vs Michael Jackson..

[@observeandreport2011]

I sense another fine bros. issue ahead

[@elizdonovan1965]

3.56 start of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Could listen to this genius all day everyday. 🌲🙂☘️

[@arbknight12]

What about Mr. Peanut's pimp cane? lol

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

arbknight12 probably a sword cane.

[@MachtPlays]

8:15 ..Forgot to add Mr.Peanut's cane, for he is a ronin samurai of old, no longer needing a blade because of his fighting prowess

[@redman958]

Mr. Peanut won. Tony had a severe peanut allergy.

[@birdoeatscutsman3421]

Neil deGrasse Tyson is such a nerd. I love him. He just lights up when you can talk about things like who/what would win in a fight. He is still just a kid at heart.

[@rohanjarande]

This was fun & I just mı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨ade you wipe your screen.

[@mkinjustice8231]

No you didn't

[@JoJoMcFly7]

God dammit

[@goodbeans]

you're cruel

[@ducheswannabe]

+Rohan Jarande LOL i read this and i still wanna wipe it. The OCD is strong with this one.

[@KevinP32270]

+Rohan Jarande yes you did lolol.....epic.

[@knightcat6431]

Stephen: "I shudder to think what your boxers look like." Me: "Maybe they're full of black holes?"

[@NegativePressure]

Hmm, looks like I'm early. I'll just put out some dip for everyone...

[@paulramos4037]

The seriousness of science cannot defeat the comedic brilliance of Colbert.

[@fallreds544]

PAUL BLART MALL COP VS ROBOCOP ONLY ON THE LATE SHOW

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

"Nana is 97, she would like to see you one more time before she dies." xD

[@theyappingvoyager]

At 6:01, did Neil just farted ?

[@thethrillofpattaya8404]

LMAO! That was fart for sure! Good ear Micheal !

[@thethrillofpattaya8404]

WAIT... I just listened again and there was a quick one right after the one @ 6:01 and then again a little later. I think Neil actually shit his pants!

[@faaiz2785]

No that's not a fart sound. That was the sound of the host saying Mhmm

[@M12GProductions]

Neil is just nothing but giggles in this video. It's almost adorable.

[@TheDeqiro]

Neil vs B.o.B?

[@nkumarmits]

at 12:42 Tyson was been broken down..he is rummaging his brain for logic....hahahaha

[@SidharthSatheesh]

It's a super star destroyer out there, not a planet

[@Wrench626]

That's no Planet.. that's the Death Star III.

[@faustus2058]

Except they blew up death star three in episode seven... because star wars films clearly can't have any other main plot.

[@noobicorn_gamer]

I just lost it with Nana lol

[@jamjam5184]

Astrology is just plain useless.

[@twothree4]

Paul looks like nerdy version of Mark Ruffalo😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ncdfan]

"It's my show, leave!" "Oh." Walks off. lol

[@patrickgaasche2822]

Just me or does he remind you of the dad on "so i married an axe murderer?" "Heed! Get your big head out in front of my tv!"

[@RedShift-vw9hd]

I love the interaction bteween Stephen and Neil.

[@AngryDoodlebob]

I really was really digging the tune the band was playing during the intro for Neil.

[@revk8611]

Ohhh, Stephen killed the argument on gravitational pulls. Hahahahaha

[@edwardrhoads7283]

Tony eats Mr Peanut and declares - "It's grrrreat!"

[@cafearga]

Love can only be shared.

[@YarrBr0]

I just like Stephen and Neil's conversation in the middle before they start the Friday Night Fights

[@AsheshDubey]

Stephen was on fire this time! That white hole & Nana joke SENT ME!!!

[@StoneyTullip]

@ 13:08 I bet that quiet girl on the left is REAL fun at parties hahaha

[@hyacinthdibley]

The "police" part is soooooo hilarious.

[@Adamantiis]

The second this page loaded I clicked on the like button because It is a fact that I will like all videos with Neil deGrasse Tyson in it.

[@LordOfTheBored]

Neil Tyson is such a nice guy and he is able to break down scientific results into popular language. I could listen to him for hours. WHY DOESN´T THIS GUY GET A SHOW ON SOME CHANNEL?????

[@richgrant4024]

Few things are more enjoyable than a Tyson/Colbert interaction.
