WTF with Simon Pegg

[@Jack655321]

8 minutes in and Simon Pegg allready made 2 casual Star Wars references, now that's a real fan.

[@hattyphillips]

...and now I'm going to rewatch all of Spaced... :P

[@TheGoodChap]

The whole situation with the US version of spaced not being allowed to have the drug references or guns but Americans being allowed to have as many guns as they want reminds me of something Marlon Brando said about how when soldiers were going to war in Vietnam they weren't allowed to write "fuck" on their airplanes but were being taught to drop fire on people.

[@thewalrus12]

SImon Pegg playing the milky bar kid being interviewed by Alan Partridge is one of the funniest skits ever

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I remember that pretty sure its on KZbin somewhere, think it was on comic relief and unfortunately the studio audience just plain sucked for that sketch, they were used to a more crude,broader sketch and I felt so sorry for Messrs Pegg and Coogan they have collaborated numerous times though

[@Retrostar619]

Thank god someone else spotted that. The audience seemed weirdly flat to me.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

***** is it on KZbin? Haven't seen that one

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Retrostar619 it wasn't really their audience I think was the problem. The majority of them had been laughing more at Lenny Henry. Nuff said

[@ordinarybear7037]

Have a look at gorilla interview on 'Not the Nine O'clock News, the lady became Billy Connolly's wife and was perfect in this part...... kind regards Legends

[@spunkybrewster1972]

Hey HighestPrimate, thanks for posting all these clips. They're really keeping me sane while dealing with my recent personal crap. You rock dude.

[@chadsorero3174]

ive never noticed it, simon has the deepest voice, he sounds like british barry white, it doesnt fit his body, maybe that helps with his characters. he destroys, he is the fucking man.

[@KM-ch2wc]

shit he really does hahah

[@clarencedaniel8512]

Can anyone make out who they mention at 20:40? John Bogelard or something?

[@mumblingbush]

I think it's Jean Baudrillard.

[@clarencedaniel8512]

that's the one, cheers. i must of tried a dozen different guesses at the spelling and never came up with "Jean" or "Baudrillard"

[@biscuitparty]

Thanks! I was wondering the same thing

[@Danimal300zx]

As usual, Marc brought out the best of his guest.

[@thomastorr1983]

Lol, those days when you could say you liked bill Cosby without an awkward pause

[@brendothedude4660]

My brother actually met Simon at Ghiradelli along with Edgar Wright in San Diego 2013. Thought that was pretty cool.

[@thomasrainbow]

The end of this conversation was so good! They could of kept talking for a while!

[@PFWoody488]

I don't think Marc realizes how condescending the whole "In the UK, everybody gets a shot if they stick with it long enough." is. No Marc, talent and hard work are necessary components of success in places other than Hollywood. He says that shit a lot. I wish one of his guests would call him out on that.

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

Just his defense mechanism to bring people down and make himself feel better about not having made it.

[@lemmypop1300]

So he's from the cheese chasing town! No wonder I like this guy.

[@NxDoyle]

If you haven't watched Big Train, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Almost perfect sketch comedy, esp the first series.

[@Marius-vw9hp]

I loved "The Extras!"

"Fuck that, let's go to space" - George Lucas

[@eggfriedmice1]

fantastic interview

[@sahalanimation]

now that's a legit starwars fan right there

[@thebellaluna]

Good, insightful, & funny interview --thanks! :)

[@kinngrimm]

Got my hands on 'Spaced' and 'Black Books' in 2000 by a collegue, retrospectivly i feel priviliged to had seen them as it was not on TV in my country. These 2 shows are part of my alltime favorites. 37:30 I can't stand Ricky Garvis, mostly i can't even find him funny at all. Listening to him is more like an enduring test for patience.

[@turbodub501]

simon, you are referring to the long cultural march thru the insitutions - alexander gramschi

[@TJames-qt8nc]

Great interview. Marc asks great questions that allows Simon to explore a lot of different areas and they take a great journey together. I think that we are moving in a new direction in entertainment because Netflix and Amazon are making some of the best stuff now and it's deep personal stuff. Cable may have created the first great run of modern television but the delivery is still last century. The stuff we get on Amazon and Netflix now are not the "joke machine" stuff we get on network television. We are seeing a wave form. I hope it doesn't break for a very long time.

[@mockthedude]

This is awesome!!!!

[@haydosmegins]

Awesome Highest Primate, can you do some adam Corolla podcast

[@benrjetti]

Yeah New Zealand shout out!

[@tiesthijsthejs]

Hmm Simon dislike Extras. Well, I thought that was almost as great writing and acting as the office, ahead of the wave of celebrities doing parody on themselves obsessively for authenticity. And was well constructed. Maybe not innovative. And none of the series that came after were up to par. But I don't get the criticism on Extras. It had real heart, intellect and awkwardness, besides the stick of absurd false realist personas of celebrities, which is the working joke. I wonder why that series wasn't successful.

[@kitpalmer1583]

tiesthijsthejs it was crazy successful. My main issue with the series is that Andy is a genuinely unlikeable protagonist, even before he becomes villainous later on, from day 1 he's a pretentious narcissistic wanker

[@joey4track]

what an abrupt ending that was

[@turbodub501]

lol beudrillard reference hows that artificial womb treating everyone

[@ahabthewhaler]

i assume lost angels is what is now known as mob city

[@Cassidy...]

Groovy Man....

[@drex48239]

highest primate, im not sure if you are a fan but it would be great if you could upload your moms house podcast episodes

[@DackxJaniels]

The whole point of extras was celebrities play asshole versions of themselves, though, so that argument is below what I thought Peggs intellect was at.

[@b.6.7.f.h.]

You wouldn't even see a show like Waiting for God here. Benign distractions and painfully contrived spectacles are all we get.

[@joblo3940]

WTF with Simon Pegg

[@xxFeedYerHeadxx]

GUYS, SEARCH CHEESE ROLL NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Its worth watching DO IT

[@xxFeedYerHeadxx]

exactly........

[@frankbarnes655]

Maron depresses the shit out of me.

[@Sieist23Jahrealt]

Frank Barnes why? He has the opposite effect on me

[@RandolphSouth]

Kevin pollak

[@galaxyskyrocket]

REALLY? Marc.... really?

[@pwnyofwar]

:)

[@rainseesghosts]

420th like lol

[@scooterdooter]

LOL at mispronouncing "hegemony"

[@gax42096]

The reason British actors/actresses are getting more t.v./movie roles in America is simple. Consider Ronald Reagan. If not for the fame he gained in Hollywood then he likely would have never been President. He was a Conservative. The liberals learned their lesson. Having America "celebrate" some actor who turns out to be British, then goes onto speak his political point of view serves the left agenda. The only "real white men" on t.v./movies are all foreigners, British, Australian, etc. Because the left has learned not to make famous an individual who doesn't follow their political agenda. There are plenty of real white men in America but they won't make it in Hollywood because real men are Conservative in America. So they must trick us into celebrating Liam Neeson and others like him only to then have him speak about removing the 2nd Amendment. Hollywood isn't the only place real Americans aren't allowed. Washington D.C is another place. They all work for the same goals and it is the subjugation and destruction of real America/ns. Students aren't being taught to hate America and their white skin by the only teachers that could be found or even the best. They are being taught those treasonous and suicidal beliefs by leftists who don't want any message except theirs to be told. There are millions of intelligent Christians and Conservatives who would and could teach in colleges. They won't ever be given tenure though. They won't ever be given the job regardless. There is no Affirmative action for real Americans. If you think I'm wrong then consider just how many British people would be allowed in Hollywood if Great Britain was famously more right wing than America currently is rather than being farther to the left than America, which it actually is. This is just leftist cronyism being played out on the public stage.

[@pg2068]

Jon Herring So, did you just come here to bitch about "the left"? Because there's no way you're a fan of Maron's comedy, or Simon Pegg's movies.

[@gax42096]

You don't know what I'm a fan of. I watched the video because I am a fan. When I heard their comments about British actors getting more jobs in Hollywood I commented my opinion on it. Then I finished watching the video. After that, I watched more of these WTF videos featuring other stars. Anything else?

[@pg2068]

Well, I guess I just assumed that, like every other person who talks about the plight of white people and christians in America, you wouldn't be interested in entertainment that doesn't include the phrase "Get 'er done!". My mistake... lol

[@ping6uod]

do you make your own tin foil hat or do you have to buy them?

[@billbixly4332]

Let me guess your younger than 24, white, male, can't keep a girlfriend or a job and you spout all this bs because
