  • She likes awkward humor as much as I do. I think a red string attaches us.

  • wow.... get a sense of humor people. it wasn't a very funny joke but it wasn't necessarily a very mean one. it's obviously a joke why would anyone get offended at something like that.

  • If Joanna Newson was ugly she would get booed and laughed at for her music.

  • That was kind of a mean joke haha That guy wasn't too amused

  • was this recorded on a mobile phone and edited on a mobile phone? serious question!

  • "little tiny high fives"

  • she just ragged on the size of that guy's masculinity and no one even flinched.

    her cuteness has given her impunity.

    she is indestructible.

  • The difference between her singing voice and her speaking voice is so interesting

  • Hilarious. 

  • "What's the longest joke you know?"

  • lots of different styles and genre of music, lots of different ways to present that music...whether you like Ms Newsom's style is personal preference, I think she is very talented and love listening to her performances..you good people don't have to label yourselves with any one genre...music is all around you, in all forms..Man I gotta tell ya, I'm not really big into hip hop, but if you like it, I'm not gonna rag your music and harsh your mellow....

    Music is The Vibration of Life...

  • is this the same Joanna Newsom? she seems like a hollywood tartlet now. who cares about millionaire designers,. the world is suffering.

  • @futuristfood Oh, shut the hell up. Are we not allowed our own personal indulgences now? I'm sure you treat yourself when you can; she can treat herself too. If fashion appeals to her, then so be it. She probably doesn't splurge on some of the more typical things. Who are you to judge?

  • @futuristfood i agree, shut the hell up. you judging her is simply you judging yourself. if i had multi millions i would splurge on beautiful clothes too.

  • @goldensunchild well, excuse me for having an opinion in a comment section,. eegads,.

  • @futuristfood I have no idea of the argument you were having but I declare you winner! for using the word "eegads". Congrats. Pick up your tote bag at the Google offices.

  • the joke made me smile, but the moment after she's told the joke, when she turns back to Jackson, is adorable. xx

  • lol

  • what a fucking BITCH

  • @Kindahuge hahahah shit I laughed

  • @Kindahuge I totally agree. She makes an insensitive joke about midgets (as if they're proud to have a birth defect) and then insults a guy about his dick. She's obviously an asshole.

  • gentleman parts!

  • looking glass self wikipedia

  • @Gamesrock096 pierce Jackson was the camera man, whom she asked for his name at the beginning meaning all the other dwarves got the world record but the other didn't because Pierce Jackson had a smaller penis, get it now?

  • I don't get the joke please explain.

  • I HATE YEEEEEEEEW!!!!!!! U DUMP ANDY SAMBERG NOW!!!! DUMP HIM NOW!!!!!!!! hes mine

  • @audrieLOVESsnl She should dump his ass, because she is on a level beyond most mortal beings (Nahh, I am just kidding I don't feel that way about anyone.. but seriously she's too good for him)

  • @ArjunaMysterytramp NO!!! HE IS TO GOOD FOR HER!!! TEAM SAMBERG!!!!

  • Lovely.

  • clever

  • Nnnnnng, moronic comments make head hurt, uurrrrgh...

  • Why all the fuss about complexities of music affecting its greatness? Music is subjective. When did everyone become a damned critic?

  • @Buttonpusher1985 thats called "internet"

  • I liked that she was willing to break the cameraman's balls a little.

    Also, I thought she'd have used a more PC term than "midgets", but I guess humor isn't about PC, is it?

  • digitaldoodler hey i love metallica and joanna newsom enough talking crap bout music.music is one of the best ways to show emotions,whatever mood a persons in thats what they listen too.and music is something beautiful that speaks to people no matter what type it might be.

  • I enjoy both Metallica and Joanna Newsom.

  • Yeah, you fucking fruit cakes are all correct. Metallica sucks so bad they've sold over 100 million albums. STFU

  • "tip of the iceberg" comes to mind

  • nah

  • I don't get it.

  • @hardyfh1

    You must be pretty dumb then

  • @purpletycoon lol I don`t know, you tell me. As if to be a successful musician meant anything about your brains. As if to breathe were life! I`m not judging her overall intellect by the way, I`m just saying here, in this video, she doesn`t really sound like a person who could`ve written some pretty pretty lines in `Autumn`.

  • I want her to insult my penis.

  • lol that wasnt nice

  • That was cute haha

  • That was awkward

  • my God, she's so stupid.

  • @badoombum yeah ok. If she's so stupid why has she managed to become a  successful folk artist with genius lyrics?

  • I am NOT a meat-head and I LOVE Metallica!!! and this chick sucks! Andy's vulgar and hilarious so you all can suck it!!!

  • that was a really bad joke, oh well.

  • wow that was awful. i hate how she wouldn't say penis, too. so what care, i still love her.

  • OMG

    Her voice is SO different than her singing voice..

  • @xmisogyny i forget which interview- maybe it was a peel session..?- she mentions she had a speech impediment when she was young. it's only marginally noticeable (and has gone away even more, recently) when she speaks. however, it becomes quickly apparent if you listen to her pronunciation and the way she sings in the earlier albums. :) (i find it adorable, personally. i was a little bit sad to hear it almost nonexistant in Have One on Me.)

  • Cant we enjoy one genre of music without bashing some other one? Joanna is great. Metallica is great. Shut the fuck up and enjoy her fucking joke.

    @digitaldoodler7, you're a fucking meathead. I* everyone* surely* who* comments* way,* and dashes ≠ periods.

  • Comment removed

  • Man she's got such a dulcet speaking voice... you'd never guess she has such a unique singing voice.

  • Damn, so fine

  • wow shes kinda cute

  • it's meant to be thumbalena the hunchback of notrodame and tom thumb!

  • Wow, she actually has the capability of making non-annoying sounds with her voice. Who knew...

  • Classical rules. Metallica rules. Joanna RULES!!!! What's with all the hate and fighting on here? Maybe I'm only speaking for myself, but I'm a metalhead and I also appreciate a good harpist and vocalist. This is one metalhead who is also a die hard Joanna Newsom fan!

  • @BurenVanMartin Word. I'll listen to Mastodon, Lupe Fiasco (well, his older albums) and Joanna Newsom in the same sitting.

  • 1:42 Such a lovely face... 

  • Finally good to see some real talent and brains on the catwalk!Finelooking lady as well.

  • It would make me laugh if she walked the runway to Silver Apple's "Lady and the Clown" but I'm pretty sure the song that fits would be "Walkin"

  • I like Metalica but I like Joanna too. Can't we all just get along

  • @dahondaguy Amen.. But no.. Sadly not..

  • Comment removed

  • aaaaaaassssssssssssssssssppppp­pppeeeerrrrgggggeerrrrrssssss

  • good choice andy, good choice.

  • how can you not get this joke its elementary

  • I wish she hadn't started modelling. She's far too good a musician to have to do that. It makes me sad. I used to be a model and I've met people in the fashion industry. She's much too talented to bother wasting her time with them. She is gorgeous though...

  • what a retarded joke :O

  • @guzsaj haha she totally got that asshole not a retarded joke its also a meta-joke which is over your head

  • @161803 that explains why some of the fans here didn't get it.

  • ooooooooooh!!! hahahahah i dind't get the joke... until 10 min later! jajajajajajajaja

  • for those of you who do not get the joke.....i am embarassed for you. because you are, in fact, a moron.

  • Anyone want to enlighten me on what this joke means. I didnt get it. hah

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahaha

  • What I would do to see her woman parts...

  • ok i seriously dont get the joke..... :\

  • @ZaynabTheNinjaFairy It was a jab at the guy who she asked the name of. He holds the record for the smallest gentleman parts in the joke. Using his name is the joke.

  • Haha, she looked genuinely apologetic to Mr. Jackson after her little joke XD

  • Man she has taste, I love Silver Apples!

    And her of course...

  • love this lady - i cry everytime I hear Sprount and Bean - Progressive music is not for evryone and surley not for meat-heads which sometimes make rude commnets about her voice - oh by the way Metalica sucks and always will

  • @digitaldoodler7 LOL.

    Isn't that a bit hypocritical? And Sprout and the Bean is awesome. I love the harpwork.

  • @digitaldoodler7

    metallica , is for a well experienced ear more like classical music on modern guitars and drum sets 

    songs of them are just as sweet and gentle as joannas songs, only thing is you havnt lernt to apreciate that "kind" of music

  • @mraonda Really, and what classical composer(s) do you think inspired Metallica - can you name one? How about - Beethoven's symphony #6 (the pastoral)? Prokoviefs Third Piano Concerto? or Maybe Bela Bartok's music for Strings and percussion. Yes, Please "mraonda" do share some of your vast knowledge of the Classics and music theory. I need to "lernt" something"

  • @digitaldoodler7 Who cares if they like Metallica or not? Everyone has different tastes, that's why we like Joanna Newsom and others don't. There's no right or wrong.

  • @digitaldoodler7 By the way I think it's pretty well known that metal, nearer the technical end of the spectrum, shares some obvious similarities with classical music. It tends to be based around more complex, longer and more varied song structures than most popular music, rather than being based around hooks, and a single melody, there tend to be various things going on, counter rhythms and counter melodies etc. It is generally less immediately 'hooky' and requires more attentive listening.

  • @digitaldoodler7 That said, metal is not classical music. Metal is more complex than most genres of popular music, but still much less so than classical music and the composers you mentioned.

  • @digitaldoodler7 hahaha agree a 1000% but are worst tings like hip hop or even worst, like crappy pop, joanna newsom its a gift that only the chosen one can enjoy.

  • @digitaldoodler7 Just wanna say i listen to metal more than anything, from Demolisher to classic metal, but i think shes and amazing artist and cant stop listening to her... not all meat-heads suck.

    and Metalica does suck.

  • @digitaldoodler7 FUCK YES!!!! I fucking love her SO much. Her and Katie Melua are the second comings to me. She gives me hope for the future of music. SCREW METALLICA!

  • @digitaldoodler7 I personally don't like Metalica, but it's unfair to say they suck purely based on opinion, music is completely subjective.

  • @digitaldoodler7 They ruined Napster!!!!

  • @digitaldoodler7 So in order to prove that Progressive music fans are so much better than us regular folk who make rude comments, you make a rude comment...get off your high horse. Oh, and I respect Joanna as a musician, personally I don't like her voice but I believe she is a wonderful harpist.

  • @digitaldoodler7 I'm into metal and I agree that metallica suck :L Joanna Newson is awesome though

  • @digitaldoodler7 ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh boy.

    i like sprout and the bean and peach plum pear - but she hasnt managed to play anything else on her harp that sounds anywhere near as catchy - just laborious. by contrast, metallica have kept me fucking ROCKING for nearly 2 decades, with the exception of their last couple of albums. she would be more progressive if she quit her stupid reminiscences about picking turnips and talked about the real world.

  • @digitaldoodler7 I'm another person who loves Joanna Newsom and (early) Metallica. Your comment is kind of hypocritical: "Meat heads making rude comments about Joanna", followed by "Metallica sucks". Try listening to Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets with an open mind. If you enjoy Newsom complex harp arrangements, you ought to at least enjoy the complex guitar arrangements.

  • Joanna Newsom tells jokes and does things like a normal person? Well, I'll be damned! This is like that time I found a picture of Keiji Haino eating birthday cake.

  • worst delivery of a joke i've ever seen

  • I think her speaking voice is consistent with her singing voice and vice-versa. Both are lovely.

  • so adorable :)

  • the reporter looks like the wife from "the shining"

  • so gorgeous. If only there were an abundance of women like here out there

  • Now everyone makes that joke about Justin Bieber... -___-

    SHES SO CUTE BTW.

  • I can't find this background music anywhere! Can anyone help?!?!

  • poor camera man

  • @whiteej21 If Bjork was raised in West Virginia in 1920

  • "Gentleman parts" lol

  • wtf? rich scene kid/hipster jokes. damn what a shame ,i thought her voice was naturally high pitched and finnish like. oh well just another wealthy phonie............

  • lol

  • i didn't get the joke.......

  • 34 people are named Pierce Jackson.

  • I'd marry her if she let me...

  • Eccentricities, all part of being genius.

  • She. Is. SO. CUTE.

  • @BeUnbroken :D that's exactly what i was going to put. i'm sure you have taken the words out of all of our mouths. lol

  • I <3 her speaking voice. She sounds so cute.

  • @Handnote lol speaking voice....like we all decide how we want our voice to sound, yeh..

  • Your mom fed it to me, until I realized texas dont take not tit, cool? Condescending twat.

  • Does anyone know who Hejnar is? *The music playing in the background*

  • She reminds me of Bjork.

    As for the joke, she's really not to blame. Awkward ordinary people who are suddenly thrust into celebrity are often encouraged to take "learn how to be charming on camera" lessons. Just about anybody can learn this, practice makes perfect. While most of us would rather see her "be herself," it is likely a sound business decision & of great comfort to her to have a well rehearsed performance in the hopper to carry her through on camera time.

  • Good young lady, great voice, and real talent. Not this man-made, fake boob Brittney Spears kind of BS.

  • She better concentrate on singing, cause that joke was laaaaame.... and kind of offensive to the camera man. Well Dara O'Brian she ain't (and looking at Dara, maybe thats a good thing)

  • Her voice is so cute, why does she sing like an old lady?

  • @MooseyFate100 she does not sing like an old lady she has a unique and awesome voice

  • haha shes sooo cuuute! im gonna marry this girl!! (i wish)..

  • Whats this song!

  • Not funny.Shes always trying to be cute.

  • gentlemen parts <3

  • I just discovered this artist. She is so cute.

    Plus, I'm gonna use that joke with my friends, lol.

  • so cute

  • beauty

    

  • beautiful

    

  • she has an amazing smile

  • I lol'd at the joke, haha.

  • I frankly love her voice. It adds wonderfully to the music.

    But I still did lol when I saw an aspergers video in the responses.

  • i like the sorry look she gives pierce jackson

  • I like her.

  • Her song is in 'The Stragers', which scared the shit out of me, thankyou for ruining my good pants!

  • I'm not being a hater but her voice drives me INSANE. Anyone else agree?

  • I have to say that there are times where I really like her voice, and times where I really don't. I do love her skills with the harp. Maybe she's an "acquired taste" and I need to listen to her a little more to enjoy her fully. :)

  • I have already heard this joke 3:

  • I officially love her :)

  • poor pierce, whoever he is.

  • It sounds like everyone WANTS to be a victim (probably due to the whole affirmative action perspective.)

    Look at Resident Evil 5. The game takes place in Africa, so you kill African zombies. But because they were black for some reason it was suddenly worse than if, let's say, the game had taken place in France. Would it be offensive that all the zombies killed were French?

    If you noticed, she didn't say anything bad about midgets. The joke just happened to feature them. Lighten up! :)

  • 1 out of 10 on the joke, but i'll give her a 7 on delivery :)

  • To everyone complaining about her singing voice:

    Try to play the shit out of the harp the way she does and sing beautiful intricate melodies at the same type. Then put it out there for the world to hear. We'll all be able to nitpick how different your singing voice sounds from your normal voice.

  • @xTheOxx

    I don't think her voice is a result of her playing because there are a lot of artists who can play and sing intricate and complicated things on both their instrument and voice and sound just fine. Her voice is a deliberate part of her act. It's supposed to add to her charm as an element of "quirk". A lot of people seem to love it! I can understand how others don't, however.

  • lmao it took me like 5 minutes but i finally understood the joke!!

  • PS Your c*nt's in the sink

  • lol that guy just got owned

  • She's my magical beautiful elf voice girl.

  • @Benj888 lol.

  • lol

  • She's incredibly cute and a very talented musician, but I feel kinda bad for Pierce. lol

  • Newsom has a unique voice and intelligent lyrics. Why don't you whining fuckers arguing over mayer or bieber or whoever take it the fuck elsewhere?

  • I just fell in love.

  • not a good joke but i still love you :)

  • HAHA tiny high fives ^_^

  • Holy crap Joanna Newsom actually sounds tolerable!

  • Does anyone have any more info on the background music? "Hejnar" is giving me nothing on Google.

  • This artist is a gem. ♥

  • that was funny but can someone explain it to me better

  • @lastpoltergeist010 seriously?....

  • @jrivers3206 yes

  • i rlly hope that moles fake......

  • Comment removed

  • Sounding like a dying cat is so cutting edge and avant-garde. If you don't like tone deaf, dischordant whining then you are a philistine unlike us cultured hipster douchebags who smell our own farts.

  • @CrazyOldMaurice69

    If you think Joanna Newsom is tone-deaf, I don't know if you have any business listening to any kind of music.

  • Why is there wah-porno-guitar in the background?

  • I guess you guys have never heard of Billie Holiday? Her singing voice was very unique and not considered "normal".. yet you've all heard of her and her beautiful music, haven't you?

    Open your minds a bit. Joanna Newsom is lovely and her voice and her music are beautiful
