Arrested Development's David Cross Doesn't Love Hollywood - Speakeasy

[@chrismuzyka8952]

I wish Paul would have asked the tougher questions - such as how many times David has been to St. Louis.

[@jeffreypaul734]

I'm a sorry person. I appologize, but when grown men wear bow ties, I want to punch them in the face. Please Dr. Freud, why is it? My humble upbringings in the south? I have two minor degrees, above average intelligence, but think grown men are assholes who wear bow ties. Seems pretentious. Also, am a trained killer USN/USMC. I actually think about ceasing their bodily functions.

[@jeffreypaul734]

I love David Cross, being a Jew who grew up in Oklahoma City ok. His work is great! Plus, we have the same male pattern baldness.

[@Wanderingsocks]

@@jeffreypaul734 i mean, bowties arent that bad, but they are very situational. Proms and weddings come to mind.

[@F0CKSTR0T]

I dunno buddy. Just relax I guess. Anyone who has the confidence to wear a bow tie knows it looks silly. Just an eyecatch for when you're a comedian in a formal situation. Fedoras are much worse. Bow ties on the other hand only carry the connotation that you're either Bill Nye or a clown. So while Bill Nye might seem pretentious for wearing one in the context of being an intellectual, it's still a costume for TV. Though, I'm pretty sure his costume has become his persona. In this case however, Paul is a clown. He's a goofy dude in a manly man setting and the bow tie seems to be perfect for this specific situation.

[@robwaddell7934]

Bail hearings, PTA meetings, any night-time subway lurking, If you are Tucker Carlson. It's not just Proms and Weddings!

[@djordan22]

Paul F Tompkins is somewhat underrated. Dude is pretty god damn entertaining.

[@Inic]

Right? Reason I love watching these interviews

[@stephenryan1912]

He's the greatest showman on Earth.

[@jumbowana]

Boy, that Funke is some sort of something.

[@tehkoalainsurgency]

Mr. Show was way ahead of its time, that's why it feels so recent.

[@mitchellhughes5180]

David Cross is among a handful of the funniest comedians ever. The end.

[@southrules]

[@octagonseventynine1253]

You're so edgy, EW-sSmooth, you never laughed at Seinfeld, wow. What a rebel.

[@Sapsche]

Problem is he is Tobias Fünke. That's the reason why I keep comin back to his persona, but I have to admit that I refused to accept his unfunnyness outside of Arrested Development.

[@PurushaDesa]

Aww. "I love you more than I hate LA." That's so sweet.

[@mikem9704]

I could watch these two all day long. Still cracking up about the St Louis bit

[@JamesOhGoodie]

He's been there eight times apparently.

[@hotpocketpizzapop]

I think it was seven times.

[@shinigami146]

When Paul has history with a guest, it goes amazingly. So entertaining and funny.

[@sspratli1]

David Cross trying to reignite the old east coast-west coast feud. Haven't we lost enough comedians to those old beefs, David?!

[@gregpepper7791]

Does anyone know how many times David Cross has been to St. Louis? I have a paper due...

[@RxgIaNt44]

I didn't hear at all throughout the video, sssooo... My guess is 7-9 times. Maybe somewhere in between. I don't know.

[@dengueberries]

Every time I see a David Cross interview he just exudes this aura of anti-producer/anti-establishment, I love it. He seems to care only about the creative process. We need more people like that, not people just mass-produced gobble.

[@beedub9312]

Except Alvin & The Chipmunks, Curious George and M&M commercials. He’s a sellout.

[@simonw560]

Eh. He's on record as knowing some of that stuff is garbage but dude's gotta pay rent and fund the other stuff. I mean, there is the old hollywoo cliche of "one for them, one for you".

[@theinternetsucks2237]

@@beedub9312 shutup

[@philipmiles1196]

A younger man at a restaurant said to me ‘ you look like the actor who played that rich guy in the chipmunks’ the other day. I was flabbergasted .

[@ItsFazsha]

2:02 Despite the high production value, no one bothered to tell David Cross his collar is caught on his sweater.

[@thebrassmonkey100]

Oh David...YOU BLOWHARD !!

[@trevjoseph3646]

David Cross, thanks for taking the time to speak to us all. I respectfully disagree with your evaluation of the West Coast based on LA/Venice, visit San Francisco sometime! I completely agree with you about London however, especially High Holborn at Lincoln Inn Fields; tremendous walk between the Rosewood Hotel and the River Thames at Westminster.

[@koky208]

Tobias and Mr. Peanutbutter, what is this, a crossover episode?!!😂

[@samelpaso4433]

I think David Cross could be a potentially brilliant director in the future. My prediction. Legendary.

[@orangemage9522]

So brilliant. I (and probably Paul F. Tompkins) would love to see more of Paul F Tompkins.

[@todd1737]

These are really flattering camera angles.

[@Capgungoesbang]

My Mom always talks about how the early SNL skits were so hilarious and specifically the one Cross talks about with the razor with too man blades.

[@vinceg1094]

Haha. It's always better when Paul knows the guest. This is like a comedy writing clinic!

[@Zabs_Mcgee]

love the straight faced jokes they kept throwing at each other funny funny funny stuff

[@angellacanfora]

Allen Ginsberg's one of the best comedians around! Even though he's seen the greatest minds of his generation destroyed by madness...

[@potterbrain.]

+Angel La Canfora very first thing i thought

[@DeeckyRizzo]

He seems to be a so much deeper person than all of his roles combined. Love him.

[@Caffiend]

David Cross is so awesome in this.

[@ajtronic]

I'm afraid I just blue myself.

[@bsmpsu]

They have a really great rapport. Two incredibly hilarious men that are both very underrated. I'd love to see Cross, Odenkirk, Tompkins, and Matt Walsh work together in an improv setting.

[@bijanjadhavji1616]

This is gold. Some of the best on-camera chemistry of this generation

[@cooperfranco]

Oh the wit! "Feckless! You don't hear that everyday. Glad I wore a tie" hahahaha

[@Redmenace96]

This is a great SpeakEasy episode! Two friends and masters of comedy.

[@vikings-pistons]

Has he been to St. Louis?

[@andywagner1994]

8 times I believe

[@FallicIdol]

I must have missed that.

[@rome8180]

I agree with David's city tastes. Also, as someone who lives in California now "good weather" is overrated.

[@redrockinrobin700]

Great interview as always.

[@Kiandatop]

Paul is a fantastic host!

[@simonlillard7961]

NO WE CAN’T! THIS IS LIVE, DAVID

[@danblackandgo1d]

"I have been to st. louis 8 times". LOL

[@A7alpha]

3:47 "smoked weed constantly" *constantly* is the key word here.

[@gregorywald7106]

David Cross is both funny and deep, the one actor I would wanna meet. He's so down to Earth and honest, without being to revealing or transparent. I always thought he should be much more famous, but I feel it conflicts with who he is, he sees what's wrong with society these days too,some people with either see it and call it out or most just ride the current, I say call out the world on its bs.

[@JordanTaylorvision]

"We're Earthlings, let's blow up Earth things! We're Earthlings, let's blow up Earth things!" MR. SHOW was sublime comedy.

[@EthanReadsHisBooks]

All I could see was David's lower teeth jousting with Paul's gap.

[@buufuu8990]

haaaah

[@ladedade23Blunticus]

that legit made me laugh hard

[@AKNeal81]

Oh Paul F. Tompkins, how I miss this show! 8/16/2019

[@PDXVoiceTeacher]

Does anyone else think David Cross would be perfect to play Terence McKenna in a biopic?

[@dandyturner8903]

Yes I agree

[@pl33]

PDXVoiceTeacher ...unfortunately Jim Carey is slated to portray McKenna in a new biopic coming soon..there are trailers already..knowing Carey and how deep he is in the Hollywood bullshit production it's bound to be a propaganda piece..

[@PDXVoiceTeacher]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

[@mortimerportsmouth6226]

Paul F. Thompkins is in a league of his own. He may share the mantle of alternative comedy Don with David Cross And Patton Oswalt, but he is his own category..

[@avantgirl33]

"you need all those cracks and pops and shit......." -Mr. Show I think I have actually heard Cross talk about how much he LOVED monty python bc they had cheap sets but it didn't matter bc the comedy was so good, so convincing. Dont pull a Lucas and go back and edit. Mr Show is fucking perfect the way it is.

[@Oli3TB76]

The Dutch are the real culprits for Big Brother

[@Oli3TB76]

[@dhaenhuk9613]

"Cause that is a big mistake." lol Cross is too funny

[@Dazen101]

Bring back Mr.Show!

[@Johnny-ty1dg]

I have never seen a comic that made me laugh more or less than David Cross.

[@SuperToughnut]

Chicken-pot, chicken-pot, chicken-pot-pie!

[@9265704]

Finally! I thought I was alone in the pot pie department. Whenever I sing that people just stare at me. Then I have to explain it and they still stare at me, then I'm all it was funny ! Forget it! Never mind!

[@hippowombat]

The St. Louis bit is gold, holy cow

[@pada443]

These are fantastic interviews.

[@FrackeDtv]

My fav david cross movie was by far "run ronnie run" just cracks me up every time. If you've never watched it, i suggest you find it and watch it.

[@rbanerjee98]

Well I've been to St. Louis 9 times so...

[@louderthangod]

I've never been...I didn't know I had so much catching up to do.

[@LukeBass1000]

Paul's reaction at 3:54 got me good!

[@zztopz7090]

Awkward, awkward comment section. One reason I don't think I could live in L.A. or anywhere on the west coast is it's the birthplace of the pc culture. (Although, I know we all have our problems.)

[@Edeinawc]

PC culture! Gawddamn those pricks!

[@Healinghonies]

“I’m being sponsored by the word feckless” lmfaoo

[@that1relative14]

10:17 thats a hell of a pour

[@SMATF5]

L.A.'s not too bad if you get a little further out of the city. So many people who move here, especially who work in the entertainment industry, only ever see the landscape and culture of the section of West L.A. between Santa Monica and Glendale, so that becomes the stereotype, when in reality it's only a tiny fraction of what greater Los Angeles is actually like. I grew up in the area around Anaheim, and it's a completely different lifestyle than the way people normally think of California. I think there's a noticeable difference in culture even between north and south Orange County, the San Gabriel Valley, Riverside, etc.

[@ethosannihilator]

I'm glad the camera angles switched.

[@geoffdearth8575]

Paul F. Tompkins is pretty funny too. I didn't even know who he was until I started hearing him on Sirius XM.

[@whatsuphotdog]

wonderful

[@ericbono]

Hey, what's up hot dog?

[@AKABoondock19]

Oh my god I love both of these two

[@linsaysd]

Well done. I'm looking forward to seeing Hits.

[@shannonmccoy9277]

Love this interview. Fan of you both.

[@jasonlynch2035]

The sketch David is referring to about Jay Johnston massaging a baby was the end of the "mom and pop charity(Dream of a Lifetime), sketch" where Bob speaks from jail about how they modified their business from granting spectacular wishes, like meeting Shaq. "Now we just ask the kids...hey, what's something that you wouldn't mind doing?" So what Paul is saying, that it was a string of products that were too absurd to be believed, is incorrect.

[@admiralwolverine96]

Is the audio in this interview different from the other ones?

[@bluebettle]

"Working on Two and a Half-Man."

[@ChrisWolfe111]

We Need a new box set for the anniversary. I own all the DVDs but be nice to have Season 4 bloopers and some nice extras.

[@colinschabel]

There is a reason you haven't heard of "Hits"

[@InfamousMedia]

Imagining David cross in Boston is hilarious

[@martycarlton8657]

whats the song in the beginning of the video?

[@BeatlesLuvSoftKitty]

I think its an instrumental version of Spooky by the Classics IV.

[@Gforce4999]

1. At no point did you mention the achievement Mr. Cross made with squagles. 2. When are you going to interview Mr. Hutchinson? He and his glowing clown nose are so indicative of the period I find it a serious misstep to forget him.

He lives on the Westside of LA? Well, that's your problem right there.

[@yossarian1633]

I remember thinking of that blowing up the moon sketch when i heard that the U.S. had plans to drop bombs on the moon. Bob was a country singer, did a great little dance. That is crazy though. Just like that crazy acid freak in highschool who everyone laughed at when he said the government is spying on everyone. Who's laughing now, who's laughing now.
