Joe Bob Briggs - They Live - MonsterVision

Funny host segments with guest Rowdy Roddy Piper on TNT's Monstervision during Joe Bob's Summer School format of the show. I think this took place in 1997 when Piper joined WCW to feud with Hogan and the NWO. Joe Bob Briggs invited Piper on for two movies this night: They Live and Immortal Combat. These are the They Live host and interview segments with Piper. Great interview, great movie, great show!
Anyway, I'm going to keep on uploading as many Joe Bob Briggs/Monstervision videos that I can, ones that aren't already uploaded by other users on youtube, so keep checking in as I have quite a few more Monstervision host segment episodes to upload. I'll be doing Pee-Wee's Big Adventure shortly.
Joe Bob Briggs rocks!

Rest in Peace, Roddy.

Robbie (in Tokyo) It's really sad that he's gone. I'm not in shock, the guy did tons of steroids/cocaine throughout his life, it just makes me really sad and pisses me off because he and dozens of other wrestlers would still be alive today if wrestling promoters hadn't encouraged that shit back in the 80's and 90's to get the most out of their wrestlers, essentially using and abusing these guys with complete disregard for their health and not caring what happened to them in the long run. WWF's philosophy was if you weren't a naturally huge and ripped guy, use steroids to get like that or there's no chance in hell you'll work for them. Disgusting.

[@chaddnelson8939]

+what? I doubt Roddy Piper ever did steroid at any point in his career. He was never one of the big guys, he just had a big personality.

[@what9681]

Joesph Kerr In the mid to late 80's his physique totally changed and he became huge and completely ripped, whereas the rest of his career he had a very average and almost scrawny physique, relatively speaking for pro wrestling, so i'd bet money that he did roids in the 80's.

[@chaddnelson8939]

what? No he didn't. He was never huge and completely ripped. You must be thinking of someone else.

[@chaddnelson8939]

what? Name one Pay-per-view where he was huge.

[@mediasawdust2458]

Hard to dislike Rowdy Piper. Humble guy really.

[@mkproductions2.042]

Truly so.

[@joshuahoover6841]

Well speaking as a hulkamaniac in the mid-early 80s, I had a high dislike for the rodsteir. Fast forward a few years, and yeah, that guy is just one of the sweetest nicest guys ever.

[@zeusbacchushades]

Man, I miss this show and I miss Rowdy Piper

[@musicnoonelikes]

Joe Bob has a new Show on the Shudder streaming platform. It's great

[@RetroTiburon]

I met Piper the year before he passed. He was such a nice and humble guy.

[@JettBlast]

Such a sad loss, I really like him and his performance in "They Live" 1988 was awesome

[@ericg1100]

Roddy Piper with the eternally chill vibes despite a very hard and abusive childhood. He was a great man, its sad he left us so early because the world needs people like him.

[@thegiftedone]

What happened to him growing up?

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

​@@thegiftedone He had a falling out with his father and left home becoming homeless at 13 years old. That's what Roddy was talking about in this episode when he said he was working for quarters as a teenager. He meant that quite literally.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

I had a feeling the bubblegum line was improvised. Makes it even more badass.

[@cass504]

I heard that piper had a notebook of shit-talk he kept for in-ring insults, carpenter got his hands on it, fell in love with it & added it to the script

[@JoshuaZinewicz]

Awesome, absolutely classic. Joe Bob and Rowdy Roddy together, I remember watching this on TNT when it actually aired and seeing it again after all these years is beyond words. RIP Piper...

[@BonesBrigader]

Christ , can't remem the last time I smiled for 30 minutes 27:17 maybe the single greatest moment in Joe Bob TNT television 🤣

[@samanthanickson6478]

roddy seemed like he got a kick out of joe bob and being on the show, being all jet-lagged to hell while he was there. i think he liked joe bob being over the top so he didn't have to be.☺ all around good guy; one of the better guests on monstervision.

[@VolkXue]

roddy mentioned watching another episode of joe bob and i have heard joe bob talk about wrestling before in interviews so fair change they were moderate fans of eachother. Def has a better vibe that Joe Bob and Staton Friedman

[@kane00000]

He had a good sense of humor. He was in wrestling for one lol. It's basically just a giant joke, and he was also in Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

[@joshua2814]

Roddy seemed to think Meg Foster hated him, but I met her at a con several years ago (before he died) and she spoke highly of him when she saw I had his sig on my DVD. She didn't come across as sarcastic or anything either.

[@musicnoonelikes]

man that is a fucking bummer, like 10 minutes ago im over here writing off meg foster.

[@haruruben]

aw Raddy Piper... we loved this guy, my two brothers and I. He was our favorite wrestler in the 80's and They Live is just the best... sigh... I feel so old sometimes

[@MrEmperorApples]

Dude, that bit about Roddy's wedding ring, that would melt even Satan's heart. RIP Roddy

[@ceandrews]

RIP Roddy Piper

[@mikeperry7335]

I just upload Joe Bob Briggs' Pee-Wee's Big Adventure host segments. There's plenty more where that came from!

[@luv2eatpuss79]

keep em comin and thank you

[@what9681]

I'll be uploading host segments for Jaws 2 shortly. I'm subscribed to ReadNWatchAnalog who just uploaded a ton of Monstervision videos the past few days, you'll want to give his videos a look =)

[@JettBlast]

Awesome, Thank you!

[@paulquantumblues3599]

This is pretty neat. This was originally my VHS tape. I can tell because I still have the tape, and this is exactly were it starts. I taped this when it originally aired, and in the early 2000s I did a tape trade with a guy, and now it wound up here.

[@BonesBrigader]

That is wild. I believe it.

[@tomdadada]

The two coolest guys in a great conversation about a hugely underrated movie - love it!

[@Beatnu3000]

Man, you can tell Roddy felt bad about breaking the neck of that other wrestler when he was answering Joe Bob’s question about the worst injury he gave to someone else. Luckily the conversation didn’t dwell on that and quickly went along.

[@sageparra4956]

I don’t think I ever watched Monstervision when it originally aired, and I regret it every day.

[@TheJames-Edward]

That was awesome to see Roddy Piper on the show!

[@RoyceLovesHisShotgun]

I love Joe Bob so much- "You already been watching violence for the last two hours so why dont'cha just make it a triple feature body slam..?!! 🤣😂👏🔥

[@80sfreak42]

This was like 97 I believe..loved this growing up in high school...

[@zombieslayer4208]

Rest in peace rowdy piper I'm so glad I watched this i remember when this first aired on tnt rowdy was so hilarious so is joe Bob Briggs I like how he was egging on rowdy during this interview

[@psyche3t984]

Thank you so much for posting this. I had it on VHS and converted it to DVD a while ago. I just found the disk and it doesn't work, so thanks for posting this. By the way, the actual date it was on TNT was August 8, 1998.

[@GasGotti]

Thanks for that

God I miss Monstervision, I grew up watching this stuff! When I was a kid I thought it was scary that he sat out in the desert watching horror movies lol never dawning on me that it was a production studio

[@FUCKINGENIOUS]

He does The Last Drive In on Shudder now. Joe Bob says check it out!

[@brainhakker7133]

Joe Bob Briggs knows how to cut a promo.

[@Draeka]

My all-time favorite movie fight scene is George vs. Frank in the alley. It's basically ten minutes of two dudes just wailing on each other. I fucking love it.

[@MrBurninCross]

Now we all can see how good we actually had things goin'...

[@randybarnett2308]

I'm the reason Hogan ain't got no hair -- gotta love Hot Rod !👍💪😄

the part about the wedding ring was incredibly cool

[@redmist78]

I really hope one day to own all these all on DVD but I'm sure that would be a huge feat.

[@JettBlast]

it would be great for them to release them like the Movie Macabe Elvira movies.....

Wish you still posted. Best video/audio of monstervision on youtube. Grew up with this show!

That fight in They Live is one of the best fights in movie history. In the audio commentary on the Shout Factory blu-ray for They Live Roddy says that practiced that fight scene all summer before

[@nateman79]

RIP PIPER. The greatest heel in wrestling history

[@TheSeph1984]

Thanks for upload. I love Joe Bob Briggs. I hope that you can upload some more of Monstervision... hopefully stuff that has yet to be put on youtube. They should have a DVD collection of all Briggs episodes... but Ted Turner might not want to release such stuff X(

[@what9681]

I'll be uploading the host segments for Pee Wee's Big Adventure in the next couple days. I also plan on uploading in the next few weeks the host segments for Jaws 2, In the Mouth of Madness, both Conan movies, and Wily Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. A DVD collection of Monstervision featuring all of the Joe Bob Briggs segments would be amazing but the odds of that ever happening are extremely miniscule since Time Warner probably has the master tapes hidden away in a warehouse somewhere and could care less about the show and it's fans, so it's up to us here on youtube to upload what we can and make our own youtube collection. Host segments only =)

[@what9681]

I just uploaded the host segments for Pee-Wee's Big Adventure =)

[@ReadNWatchAnalog]

what? Actually Joe Bob has 1000s of them himself in a storage unit, with people being interested in making DVDS of them, but who knows what has happened there. Most likely, relatively sadly, even if they were to be released they would only release probably clips here and there, like a Johnny Carson "best of" or something like that with all that gold sitting there never to be seen (I say "relatively sadly" because whatever we have would be great; just there would be a lot more). Also, I hope you don't mind, but after seeing these I got a little impatient and am probably going to upload all the Joe Bob stuff you were all today, but maybe with not as good quality. So, I hope you still do upload yours, but I need something to watch on my tv, haha. I watch these through directv on a big screen.

[@what9681]

I know that on Joe Bob Briggs' Facebook page, he or I'm guessing someone who probably helps him run it asked a question a few years ago to the fans about which specific Monstervision episodes people would want to see on a DVD compilation, but that's the last that it was talked about as far as I'm aware of. If you want to upload more Joe Bob Briggs/Monstervision videos by all means go ahead, it would save me a lot of time but just remember to edit the videos so that it's only the host segments, as otherwise you'd be putting your account in danger of being suspended if you actually upload the movies too. I've already edited the Jaws 2 video and will be uploading that very soon just so you know. The more Monstervision videos on youtube the better =)

[@ReadNWatchAnalog]

what? Okay, thanks, I'll not upload that one, as I'm only trying to upload the ones that are not on youtube. Also, I believe it's on the Joe Bob Briggs New York Cine Drive-In interview where he says he has all of them himself in storage. Here is the video code f3vgJNlAJ8Y Also, I know about the uploading/editing; I already have a few up and going to try to do the rest today.

[@tonynoname455]

"They Live" is a Documentary. True Story.🙄

[@TheSeph1984]

I have actually read the transcripts of his Monstervision's on his website. And I think one of the best one (not uploaded on youtube) is NIGHTBREED, its a great movie and his segments are classic. I have started to collect his audio commentaries. I have Samurai Cop, I Spit on you Grave, and The Incredibly Strange Creatures That Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies!!? He has roughly 15 or 16 commentaries. I hope to get them all sometime they are great.

[@luv2eatpuss79]

[@nateemond197]

AWESOME FIND AND UPLOAD!

[@what9681]

Thanks =) Not sure if it's still around but there was a torrent containing multiple episodes of Monstervision and this episode was one of them. It contained the full movie along with the host segments so i just had to edit out the actual movie bits and just put together the host segments which is what you see here. I also uploaded the Poltergeist episode while a few other youtube users have uploaded pretty much the rest of the episodes' host segments from the torrent, just search "joe bob briggs monstervision" and there should be several dozen episodes to check out. This is definitely one of Joe Bob's best shows though since of course he got to interview the Rowdy one himself =)

[@dantekyle1775]
