Top Ten Anime Couples: Henry Rollins & Pouting Cab Driver

[@willgold664]

Only Rollins could relate such a bizarre and dismal story with good humor.

[@dakotajohnson619]

He is just telling a story! So sick of sensitive people. Have some tough skin for fuck sake

[@RandalBauer11]

4:58 "No, I want to go to the zoo!" is the most Henry Rollins thing he could have said.

[@cleansanchez4880]

"I have a camera! I wanna take photos of animals!"

[@JutiMayranen]

This bit always makes me laugh

[@MetalTraveler]

I think some people don't realize that this clip is almost 20 years old. Bangkok has indeed changed during that time. Friend was here around those times and the stories are true. Not the scene today, but you can still find it if you search a bit.

[@emmanuelrogercosta9671]

I believe you, I'm sure you've done your own researches for yourself hahahah just kidding man

[@mflance7197]

Damn

[@timmooney6910]

Have we given enough thoughts as a species about drafting Henry Rollins into being our King?

[@mr.onethirtyeight5088]

I'd probably be down with that

[@JnEricsonx]

You know the second he got offered it he'd be like FUCK NO! If this was some years ago he'd say "Go ask Lemmy or Ozzy!"

[@MisterVish]

Too late. Throne's taken. I am your king.

[@toogee1850]

"if they get you to the one they sponsor they get 6 litres of gasoline" Lmfao

[@skonaz]

Yes...abject poverty....hilarious

[@dyr234]

Three ring binder hahaha that's fucking hilarious.

[@jakemarlow8998]

Henry's the best. That's a funny bit ... so I hate to ruin it. I lived in Bangkok for 6 months. I never met a cab driver that could speak any English.

[@hughgoldspiel116]

This is Ren and Stimpy. In an ok way.

[@gulagwithahumanface4471]

I absolutely love this man and i love him even more knowing that he absolutely hates me

[@alexbaum2204]

Been to Bangkok many times while I lived in Southeast Asia (Indonesia). Along with Singapore, it is the central travel hub of the region. Henry is absolutely right that you don’t want to wait in the airport (I assume he’s talking about Don Daet - the old airport - but both suck.... because they’re airports). Bangkok gets a bad reputation, but it’s actually a really incredible city. I’ve always gone to one of a couple areas in town with one thing on my mind - food. Occasionally, you will bump into someone showing exactly what he’s talking about - laminated photos of girls in these “love houses”. And that three ring binder thing is real too. Never mind in some guy’s taxi. Right out on the sidewalk. I too have only ever been completely uninterested and also very annoyed by it. But I have never seen the whole 13 or 11 year old thing even once. I have no idea what he’s talking about in that department. Knowing myself, knowing how annoying I already find it to have that kind of thing shoved in my face when I’m simply on the hunt for good food, I’m pretty sure I would have had it out with a person if they were trying to push young girls onto me. Probably would have ended very badly for me, but I’m pretty sure that’s where my mind would go for something horrible like that. Thailand and other countries in the region absolutely have a sex trade. Bangkok puts it right in front of your face at times. The most visible of it exists for foreign tourists. These are extremely well advertised and conspicuous red light districts dotted throughout the city. If you go, you don’t just see drunken and obnoxious Eurotrash being wild and disgusting horny fools of themselves. You see married couples walking through just to take in the spectacle of it all. They are more than red light districts where sex is for sale - they are tourist traps. I have many friends throughout smaller cities in Thailand and even lived in the southern Thai city of Trang for a year. There is an entirely different side to the sex trade there that is geared towards locals. They’re typically denoted by very small drinking establishments or massage parlors around town dimly lit up by Christmas lights. And they’re everywhere. I don’t pretend to know how these places work or what’s available to their customers, but they certainly have an air of being very seedy. Best to stay away and keep driving your motorbike if you end up near one. They give off that unmistakeable unspoken vibe that “this is not for you; this is for us.” Thailand has a sex trade. It has for centuries. But it is technically illegal. It’s weird to be in a place where it can sometimes be so brazen, especially when it’s also illegal. But the idea that cabbies are just waiting to show young naked children to the next white pedophile right out on the street is extremely hard for me to believe. I have never experienced that in the many times I’ve been to that city. I think he’s embellishing for the sake of the story. I have no doubts that this sort of thing does exist for people who are looking for it. There have even been high profile cases of it over the past. But that would be a dark and sordid and almost certainly very hidden world that someone would have to purposefully go looking for to find. I don’t think Mr. Rollins would ever go looking for that and I don’t believe it was foisted upon him out in public. Everything else? Completely true.

[@filipl234]

Maybe it was like this in the 90s. It says that his show was recorded in 2001

[@derPetunientopf]

@@filipl234 Maybe but his describtion of the heat was also a bit exaggerated so my money is on some creative freedom.

[@DBMac-ji7fr]

Can second everything you say. I think he's A- trying to tell what he believes is a better story highlighting his "above it all wonderfulness" or B- referring to the fact that many Thai women could be 13 or 30 with regard to looks and body type.

[@jasonstewart4280]

This man feels your pain always

[@thesouthernwoodsmanuk216]

Sounds like me when I went to Thailand. I wanted to see the temples.

[@CrodolookslikeFrody]

I’d love to travel with Henry

[@anfrankogezamartincic1161]

My German friend Blank Frank was few times in Thailand and he wanted a massage, the NORMAL one, not THE HAPPY ENDING one. It was mission impossible he said,it's all about sex. So he ran out, not that he don't like sex, but too much is too much

[@leyzer87]

2:25 - Is that guy with beers Jani Lane, or just his look alike?

[@Justin-xd4bt]

I could listen to him say "the little butthairs" all week long.

[@adamfindlay7091]

Rated G Henry? Oh yeah. Funny tho. I want to go the zoo!...thanks

[@TheManwithafan]

"so im told" XD fuckin amazing

[@johnDoe-ng1nv]

obviously Henry wants a Thai boy...how could the drivers not see this?

[@sudaev]

Henry likes to fuck MEN.

[@teresagermano3967]

How would u know if he fucks men?

[@TheKaiTetley]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Kahweekah2o2f]

I’m about to watch the Rollins movie on Netflix. Falling angel or something

[@JnEricsonx]

He Never Died.

[@The_Annoyed_chef]

The fuck? Shit has changed. I got only offered rides to shot for tailor made suits. Like once for some bum bum.

[@TyCetto]

There's so much truth in this! This is the essence of Bangkok taxis and tuk-tuks.

[@ameerulaqmalmalek9470]

What zoo open in 1am in Thailand?

[@amandakelly7991]

what dvd is this one from?

[@Disconnectmyself]

Up For It (2001)

[@senoirmetal]

@@Disconnectmyself no it´s not i watched that a couple of days ago, that was not it. PLEASE which one is it i have watched it before but i think it was taken down from youtube.

[@LaurentMaitreK]

Yup, been there… it’s about right… eheheh.. He omitted one thing though, if you don’t go for the girls first they also offer you to go for a tailor… ;)

[@ladyhonor822]

😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 RN CCRN VALDEZ TEMPLE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL 🏥🌃😘😢

[@sixxychik87]

After hearing stories like this, I can't eat Thai food anymore.

[@HarrrySpider]

sixxychik87 Eating Thai food does not cause prostitution...

[@Disconnectmyself]

+HarrrySpider :D:D oh.. this was good

[@womanofsteele3331]

I think the sarcasm was lost on you

[@thaidozy]

I lived in Mae Sot, Nth West Thailand for 2 years and must've done over 30 trips to Bangkok over the years and never had anything remotely like this happen. This sounds like completely made up tourist bullshit.

[@Drugaddict22]

Bonzo The Beast that happen to me,the child part is bullshit,but the problem is maybe you dont look live a perv

[@santiagodeponce9390]

Wow

[@varukerbrains]

As much as I love you Henry, you are totally wrong. I live here and what you have described is so off the mark. I have been ripped off in New York but never in Bangkok. Just learn a little Thai and your cool. I feel safer and less hassled here than any place in America. This is a typical American tourist perspective of Bangkok! there are a damn site more paedophiles in you own country than here mate. The law is incredibly harsh on anyone found fiddling about with young girls! Here, you get 20 years in the slammer, The US, What...! a couple of years easy time and a guest spot on a talk show. Oh, and you don't get shot by the police for being black. (Love from Brian - The Varukers)

[@somerandomarmydude]

+brian roe Doesn't mean jack shit.

[@varukerbrains]

Not sure what you mean Anthony?

[@somerandomarmydude]

brian roe One person's experience in one country doesn't mean another person's experience will be the same.

[@varukerbrains]

+Anthony Haller Yeah, with you mate.

[@somerandomarmydude]

brian roe Yep. Peace.

[@johnbelondoe9846]

You wanna hear Henry Rollins until you actually hear Henry Rollins.... It's so strange because nobody wants to hear Henry Rollins.

[@ValladaoMateus]

The stories are great. I just wish he stopped trying to be funny.

[@michaelhanford8139]

True Having lived in Thailand, the zoo bit was spot on tho 😂 especially the posing
