5. Science Fiction / Double Feature 2011.10.31 - Craig Ferguson [HD]

[thefunshack]

Couldn't even stand as poor attempt at (sincerely flattering) mockery. Is this an Irish show? Enough said (despite my Irish roots and without disrespect)! Utter crap either way.

[MadDuckInc151]

@thefunshack It's an American show with a Scottish host.

[MadDuckInc151]

@thefunshack Also, fuck you.

[deathdealer666dom]

her face when she realises she left her microphone behind is priceless.

[SeichsSeichsSeichs]

This was a genius idea. I do not want it to end!

[chib1]

Neil is probably my favorite part of this whole video. Straight chillin for most of the song.

[lightupyourroom]

Wow. These are all things I like: Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, Moby, ukelele, Rocky Horror, Craig Ferguson.....but put together, it's really rather not good. Something about her voice sounded off to me, and she usually sounds so lovely.

[15hoodie]

Meanwhile in Neils head:"well I had nothing else to do today, so why not stand in front of a tiny piano for 5 minutes"

[Fnifferable]

She's fucking amazing!!!

[kikikattz]

I find it funny that everyone is focusing on Amanda's pits. I was far too distracted by her weird ukelele, Merritt's weird-ass hobo clothes, Neil's tiny piano/ ominous presence, and the fact that Moby was allowed to be there. I seriously didn't notice her pits until I read the comments.

[FohawkTV]

This is God Awful...

[iLisaYOU]

Holy crap, she's beautiful :O

[Purplehaze310]

I'm sure all those applauds were torture for Stephin.

[plugsocket1]

Stephin Merritt's voice is haunting in this! Top notch

[15hoodie]

Neil Gaiman: fuck when do i get to do something

[rvbgeek]

I wish I could have been sitting in lesbian row for this, my life would be complete!!

[DaveTheBunny]

2:36 Greatest moment of that guys life. Id cum buckets just from her touch.

[ChuWanggAmes]

Ah buffer my old enemey we meet again

[SuperMrONeill]

That man with the stache in the audience got a giant boner when Amanda touched his face and gave no fucks.

[Shayneismyname]

That's it. I'm marrying Ferguson AND Palmer. I couldn't decide before. Now I have. Both.

[HewbertLarzToast]

Amanda is sexy as hell in this video, and god I love Rocky Horror <3

[TWLBOAJ]

I have such a platonic crush on Amanda Palmer...

[BethGoth15]

Stephin has a beard! *fangirl squeal*

[nichtswiezuvor]

haha i love how the people are applauding for neil playing 2 fucking notes :D brilliant!

[gustavomartinscoelho]

@nichtswiezuvor Ahem... Three notes...

But you still have a point there. ;)

[hdsfgcea]

Nice! I'm going to have to check out more of their stuff. Thanks for posting this!

[AdrianTheCorruptor]

LMFAO. I love how everybody cheered every single time Neil Gaiman did his whole 6-note part of the song.

[mrpen9uin]

Fitfitfitfitfitfit I wish Amanda was single :(

[deeza13666]

amanda is awesome and finally getting the recognition that she deserves as a brilliant artist and person

[TheFreeb1tchbaby]

Also, I fucking WISH she had brought her Map of Tasmania with her. It would have been a fine moment for feminism, art, and AFP! So save your insecure bullshit for hating on videos of Jessica Alba's ass or Justin Beiber vids.

[TheFreeb1tchbaby]

Live on, live long, Amanda Fucking Palmer!!

[TheBuckRind]

To be honest I had never heard of her before seeing her on CF. I quite like her choise of song, her voice and her looks. I think I will look for more.

[Boognish187]

My second favorite rendition of this song, my favorite is still the Richard O'brien sung version from the movie. But this version is pretty good too. I can't stand the various Broadway and stage versions I have heard, they are just sung to cheesy and theatrical if that makes sense.

[EstherGeek]

Wow...Neil Gaiman was given practically nothing to do, but every time he plays a note everyone cheers.

[Slartibartfass13]

@EstherGeek Well, he's Neil bloody Gaiman. The guy could just sit there scratching his arse (not that he ever would, he's got too much class for that) and we'd love it :P

[blackwyrmdesigns]

Aww, Stephin Merritt <3

[rickyn58]

i personally am turned on by unshave women

[Jimkaider]

This, this right here is why Craig Ferguson is awesome.

[frylokk]

I LOVE THIS COVER, AP, NEIL GAIMAN, MOBY, THAT GUY WITH THE UK, AND HER HAIRY PITS! YEAH CRAIIIGGGG

Also that guy's mustache

[frylokk]

I LOVE THIS COVER, AP, NEIL GAIMAN, MOBY, THAT GUY WITH THE UK, AND HER HAIRY PITS! YEAH CRAIIIGGGG

[jsbassoonguy]

Whoops, one more thing - anyone who liked this (who hasn't already) will probably also love /watch?v=8KJcppMx-f0 from the same episode.

[jsbassoonguy]

Also, to anyone who suggests she's above/beyond shaving her armpits, keep in mind she shaves her eyebrows (and draws fancy ones on herself!), and frankly I don't know what she does with them, nor D I GAF. So finally, Crockerstyle, LEAVE AMANDA'S ARMPITS ALONE!

[jsbassoonguy]

@BluePlasticStraw @puzzleclocks @etc., it's weird that y'all assume @KhanOmizu is sexist/reactionary/etc, considering he said she's probably playing a guy...WHILE SHE'S WEARING A DRESS. I think what he's suggesting is that she's playing as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the transvestite from Rocky Horror, which implies that she would be a woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman, which would be kinda awesome. : )

[link1825]

why would anyone compare pop stars to palmer? is amanda pop at all?

[AustralianWild]

She is Beautiful, She is Perfect in soul, voice and all in positivity there ever could be

[TaTgurl1003]

none of the singers right now (lady gaga, katy perry, nicky minaj, etc) can hold a candle to amanda. She could kick their butts musically any day of the week

[TaTgurl1003]

Thanx for uploading!

[TaTgurl1003]

I love amanda palmer. She's my favourite female singer. she's beautiful. she's got an amazing voice, and she is such an orginal. No one can even come close to her, and that's important in a world with so many cookie cutter pop star singers and lady gaga wannabes.

[DorixDoll]

@TaTgurl1003 AMEN

[TaTgurl1003]

@DorixDoll YEAH!

[iliveinmyhead]

Neil on toy piano so makes this.

[TheBungle]

The guy in the middle keeps laughing. Very unprofessional.

[edogrinningsoul]

Stephin playing Rocky Horror is like my father having dinner with Brian Eno.

[bookish42]

Is Craig coloring his hair these days?

[thisheartisfluid]

this is like...everything i like all in one video: palmer, gaiman, ferguson, and rocky. YUSSSS!!

[keixoun]

Is it just me or they only clap at the sight of Amanda's pits and Neil's amazing piano skills demonstration?

[Alephzorg]

THAT is legendary !!!

[MyriadEntity]

I love Amanda Plamer's unshaven pits like I love Tori Amos' mastiff-like drool when she sings: so weird, so captivating, should be wrong but somehow working within the whole of badassery they have. And I totally can imagine what Neil said when she pleaded with him to go on with her "I don't do the music thing, darling." "Oh COMMON!! It';; be like three notes! And you can just stand there!" *long dramatic pause while he stares at her glitter and near nudity* "Alright, I'll do it."

[sanfransardine]

Everyone is focusing on armpits, and nobody has commented on Merritt rocking the hobo costume?

[Reyzor214]

I just love Amanda Palmer so much <3

[mattropolis99]

very conflicted. Spent the whole thing trying to figure out if Amanda Palmer was a guy or girl. Hella calves on that woman.

[MichaelHeroin]

@mattropolis99

Neither.  She's a deity.

[svampyr]

Seriously, guys? She's Amanda fucking Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. She doesn't give a rats ass about your whining about her shaving or not. Get over yourselves.

[Fordwv724]

she should shave her pits

[Serai3]

@Fordwv724  Do you shave yours? If not, STFU. Hell, even if you DO, STFU.

[xsotax]

In here there's literally too much awesomeness for me to cope. I was jumping all over the Place, I love everyone that appears in this video so much is ridiculous.

[Schmauey]

Ha ha, wonderful! I think the wolves came out of the walls for Neil.

(F the back row!)

[perajoe]

isnt she wearing her oscar dress? :D

[EllPro]

Shave your pits, bitch!

[xwexarexbulletsx]

Why is Tom Waits missing there? They could be THE NEW Halloween group. And it will explode with awesomeness.

[xwexarexbulletsx]

People, they're just amazing people having fun. Do you know what is to have fun? Stop it with "ruined forever", "arm pit", and whatever. Are you seriously taking serious Rocky Horror? I thought that show/movie was about having fun, not about flame wars.

[MiHiVidz]

Well, if the Glee Halloween episode didn't kill Rocky Horror once and for all, the presence of Neil FUCKING Gaiman will certainly put a bullet in it's head.

[revjimjones]

Surprised no one in the audience sang any alternate lyrics. AND SUCKING, AND FUCKING ON!

[KatzMeowz]

@revjimjones I wondered how they controlled that! I would have been compelled to add in the naughty adlibs!

[ryanacameron]

This is literally the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life. Two of my favorite musicians (Amanda and Stephin) and my favorite author covering one of my favorite songs on my favorite late night show. I just want to scream and jump around every time I watch this.

[xsotax]

@ryanacameron I did just jump and scream. I really love everything about this so much

[ZimMan2]

I'm so much more distracted by the fact that Neil Gaiman looks high as fuck.

[MiHiVidz]

@ZimMan2 He's probably stoned off of the fumes of his own farts.

[TheFreeb1tchbaby]

@ZimMan2 That or really, really uncomfortable :)

[parser9]

neil gaiman = yoko ono? (relax, i'm only kidding… well, sort of…)

[ZoraHalo]

Christalmighty, it's the 21st century.... Who gives a fuck about armpit hair anymore? Women no longer have to do the Totally Hairless Barbie thing to get on TV (and yes, we know this really pisses some people off) (and we can't wait till the last of you dies). Modernize, people, modernize.

Chances are you're just jealous because Amanda sings better + just plain ROCKS WAY HARDER than you could ever hope to in your flaccid little lives. W00t!

[lakefxdan]

For those of you freaked out by Amanda's underarms, I strongly recommend you DO NOT watch Map of Tasmania. It might leave you a small, smoldering pile of soot.

[thekiyote]

Neil Gaiman plays three notes. Crowd goes wild.

[captainpiccard]

I wish this video wasn't in HD, then my eyeballs wouldn't be burning from seeing those hairy pits...

[giurescu123]

just picture Grant Morrison singing ¨time warp¨

pd: awesome vid, Mr Gaiman looks like he was gonna pass out for some reason. xD but i guess if i am a writer i wouldnt be use to be in Tv

[MrKingclumsy]

@giurescu123 I've seen Grant Morrison singing the Time Warp. I wasn't in a legal state of mind... then again neither was Grant Morrison (Assuming he was really there...)

(the above statement is not completely true)

[gringochucha]

Neil Gaiman is a great writer, but his musical timing could use a little work.

[midsummermuse]

Awesome sauce. Love her dress too!

[slappyrad]

I fucking love Neil Gaiman in this :) And overall. Amanda's a lucky girl to have him, and Neil must be a patient, amazing, and fabulous guy to put up with AFP's shenanigans :P

[s33rs1ght]

So Neil Gaiman walks onstage with a tiny piano...

[toboe399]

Lesbian row is loving the show and i think the one Amanda touched...creamed her pants

[Mesarphelous]

This is the whitest performance in history.

[SCharlesDennicon]

That was just awesome, in the most definitive way. Amanda Palmer and Merritt's voices, Moby's usual coolness, Niel Gaiman standing behind, super-zen... and the Rocky Horror. I mean wow. :) Right now, i'm wondering what other late nite show could have musicians of that level doing what they just did just for fun. Craig Ferguson has built a masterpiece.

[RedRosesDead]

Oh yes... this is epically wonderful!  <3

[NikaHarper]

This made my morning. The level of discomfort imparted by this group offers me no end of joy. Keep on rockin', crazies.

[HeroAntagonist]

This is many shades of awesomes

[WidowOfSirius]

You go, Neil Gaiman :D

[MariaLayus]

awesome awesome awesome!!!!!!!

[puzzleclocks]

I love the random applause for Neil during his three-note piano-bit!

[kellyofsiam]

Damn! Do I love this

[TheBatyalewbel]

I love how Neil Gaiman was forced to stand there to play a total of eighteen notes for that whole song

[FailMatt]

I'm so happy this is real

[randallj2877]

thanks for explaining the arm pit hair....

[BluePlasticStraw]

@KhanOmizu She's not playing a guy, Amanda just doesn't shave.

[juandacharroninja]

@BluePlasticStraw Eas Eric Northman from Charlaine Harris's The Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood series says "Women should'n't shave"

[puzzleclocks]

@KhanOmizu Not so much that she's playing a guy as she's playing someone who doesn't care what other people think and doesn't want to shave. Checkout her "Map of Tasmania" video if you have any doubt!

[KhanOmizu]

@puzzleclocks @blueplasticstraw Seriously? That is disgusting, seriously.

[ciararavenblaze]

@KhanOmizu men should have to shave their armpits and legs too if women have to do it.

[Sorcoral]

@KhanOmizu I was too busy looking at all the other awesome parts to notice.

[boysarefun]

@KhanOmizu as said by stoya the porn star, "if you get squeamish over a girl having pubic/armpit hair, then clearly you're not mature enough to be looking at naked women."

[KhanOmizu]

@boysarefun Didn't say anything about pubes.. only armpit hair. We'll agree to disagree :)

[bruhinb]

My brain just melted.

[minspinning]

she's so cool! and i love stephin merritt.

[BCWoobie]

Amanda Palmer is Neil Gaiman's wife.

[KlaxonCow]

@BCWoobie No, I think you'll find that it's rather Neil Gaiman who is Amanda Palmer's husband.

[yayazein222]

wtf 

[DroneBzzz]

Awesome.
