This dude barges in criticizing Eric's show after he breaks his statue of Michaelangelo's David...

[@thecalz0ne]

Mr. Cow haha they literally tortured him

[@Winning781]

These are just short clips... i do not think these scenes happened in sequence. Eric Andre has said in an interview they do like an hour and a half of interviews and edit it down to the 10 minutes or so that it is. It looks like that dude has been through alot of shit on this show by the time he started getting pissed lmao.

[@fuckugplus]

he should release the whole shit lol

[@fuckugplus]

he should release the whole shit lol

[@chrisrudd6414]

Apparently they seriously fucked with him, here's just a small list of some of them - They put him in 3 layers and a winter coat when the studio was over 90 degrees - They made him wear a dog collar... but not in the usual place - They put a fart machine in his chair - They were dripping water on him the entire time - They made him play Dizzy Bat literally right before he came out the curtain (you can hear the bat drop when he walks out)

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

This is the best interview. Supposedly he smoked Salvia, they're dripping water on him, he's wearing a shock collar on his arm, they played "dizzy bat" right before the interview (the game with the stick), and they turn the air conditioners off for the interview. And they edit it all together to make him look crazy.

[@bacon-chewtoy]

The ac is actually broke

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

He said it's too loud and the microphones pick it up, so they shut it off, but it helps to torture the guests anyway

[@TheBaxounet]

art garfunkel yeah this post sounds like total bs

[@JBiggsNewJersey]

Hiøtr Björnson Snepill & TheBaxounet The water drops, shock collar, and shutting off the A/C were all mentioned by Eric in interviews. The dizzy bat and salvia I'm not so sure of, more like rumors

"Tell them about the game, with the stick" I like how they're making him sound like he's completely insane

[@Sleepless420]

@Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls that's not how salvia high works he was on acid and fucked with before the he came out

[@peterwonaprize]

In a podcast interview Eric Balfour said they kept shocking him with hidden electric dog collars throughout the interview, under a leaky pipe the entire time, and during breaks the make up artist powdered his face with menthol. Dude was straight up tortured for an entire hour.

[@quintonlange5323]

That’s the show being tortured for an hour and half. He said it on Conan. Use to hate it now it’s just funny

[@misterkid]

@@quintonlange5323 this was pretty cringe to watch. Not the guest, but the editing. You think this is funny? You're autistic.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

So Balfour plays it off like he had no idea? As a cynic I would assume that as soon as someone even at the level of Lauren Conrad gets taken all agents would be warned to tell their clients. Same with Ali G, yet they both kept doing it over and over and over.

[@peterwonaprize]

@@illuminotmereloaded6896 Some guests will play along with a bit, but even still there’s always a comfort limit. Eric finds that limit and absolutely violates it to the edge of what he could legally get away with, as long as he can pull 20 funny seconds from it.

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

@@peterwonaprize I agree with this. But Eric Balfour seems to be saying he was taken by surprise. Were you the one saying he smokes salvia? He does look fucked up. The way he is breathing and touching his hair and face. Hannibal Standing behind that low rider chair.

[@KillSwitchNY]

probably a bad idea to be tripping balls and walking into Eric's show hahahahah.

[@mindofrap3116]

loll

[@Aburaishi]

I mean, he was also very clearly tripping though. Which must have compounded on the beyond-uncomfortable nightmarish atmosphere they cultivated to make for an impossible situation for the poor guy.

[@sondre113]

u havent tried yet? cause i saw from the first second he walked in he was tripping haha

[@lusteraliaszero]

he wasn't tripping. he was wearing a shock collar. For fucks sake, this is not how a trip looks.

[@lusteraliaszero]

quaker he wasn't tripping, the reason he walked like that at the beginning was because they made him spin and then pushed him.

[@tereza1959]

My favorite Eric Andre moments is when after creating every chaotic and stress inducing situation possible, he just asks a broken and insane guest "whats wrong with you?"

[@kehi1809]

Tell them! What's the game called? With the stick. What in gods name happened off screen?

[@LukeLeonettiYouTube]

[@stevebrule6046]

To those who want to know what's wrong with him, they made him spin around with a baseball bat (hence the wood dropping sound in the background when he enters and him being off balance causing the marble statue to knock over) and a continuous drop of water came down on him from the ceiling acting as an annoying Chinese water torture, that's why he was talking about the ceiling and frustrated. Also, during many of the interviews you can see sweat and complaints about the heat.

ok the reason he is acting like this is because they are literally torturing him in that chair, the strange reactions are to water dripping on him, the char moving and poking him, foul smell of whatever rotten food they dumped underneath him, and the heat in the room being like five times above room temperature.

1. The make-up artist of the show made Eric Balfour do spins around a baseball bat at the beginning so he got real dizzy (You can hear the baseball bat fall in the beginning) 2. Eric Balfour is wearing a dog collar (with electric shock) 3. The studio is super hot with no airconditioning or anything 4. There is water dripping down at Eric Balfours head through the entire interview, so he is basically going through chinese water torture 5. (Unconfirmed) He smoked salvia before the interview That's pretty much it I think! =) Best interview in television history after my opinion!
