Stephen Fry meets an underground bunker family in Kansas

[xTheGerbilx]

bleedin' hippies...

[DrStrangetrousers]

That is NOT folk music.

[looseheadtom]

'live on the surface like normal people ... but we're not normal people!!'

[nigelnix1]

Don't give up your day jobs?!? LMFAO

[TheFinlandnator]

A massive bunker and a private half-mile road? Hes is a one rich hippie I must say.

[TheThreeWeavers]

The zoom in part was hillarious. Poor Stephen.

[fleuve0styx]

The bunker-house actually looks pretty nice!

[VashDraven]

What is this? The founders of Vault-Tec? Madness.

[JaytheOstrich]

Peanut butter sandwich.. great taste to go out on. Well thought Stephen!

[catpee11]

haha! Ed Peden is such a tool!

[williamwilson666]

Stephen visibly cringes at the the use of the word "energy." They seem quite lovely, though.

[wigglemaster5000]

so these are the wack jobs who live during the apocalypse? Wow count me out. They are the ones who fucking eat people like on that one movie with that one dude who was blind and he killed a cat and i think it was called run on sentence with the book of eli ,,

[TUPRBABE]

Nuclear Hobbits!!! :D

[Johnandvanessa]

crazy people

[Beardedstumbler]

3 minutes to live. I'd eat a peanut butter sandwich too!

[darris321]

did he go anywhere else in kansas? :(

i don't think this is a good example of the general kansan lol

to be fair though, it's much more kansan that people like to think.

for some reason kansas is the butt of every joke about the middle of nowhere... ever.

everytime a movie needs to say someone's from the country, but they aren't rednecks, they're from kansas lol

[brohan914]

"nuclear family" haha spot on stephen

[mikemurphy383]

Stephen Fry, I would have a peanut butter sandwich with you right up until the big, beautiful end.

[darthkarr]

id love to live in a bunker...especially if it still hate its water and energy backup stuff still running...mainly then i dont have to deal with fucking ass people next door

[Llynok]

Vault 101?

[MrJayCudmore]

*Steven smiles*

- In head; FUCK THIS, FUCK THIS FUCK THIS FUCK THIS. HELP ME!

[foxsux6000]

you know what i'd do? I'd have a peanut butter sandwich...

[Soundfrequency]

Damn the ordinary kitchen!

[ashqelonsunset]

Ive never seen such mass fearmongering over something that hasnt happened yet nor can you say will. live in fear and build for it. You gonna expire anyway so why try to pro;long it with some device you have NO PROOF will actuallt extend your time here? You're living in FEAR. You need to admit it and stop lying to yourselves. You ppl are in darkness about reality. 99.99% chance a disaster occurs, you are not that capable to anticipate an event, if so buy a lottery ticket! Good grief!

[dan11009]

that is actually pretty cool - buy a big old bunker, for a low price and deck it out like a mansion

[thegarlands04]

with a house like this one could flip the finger at a tornado and laugh as it fails to destroy your home.

[csmck1]

rich hippies - kinda goes against the whole idea don't it?

[Amberain1]

@csmck1 lol

[JusticeNature]

US and european governments have built similar residences, but on a much larger scale. Search for "dumbs" deep underground military bases

[PhantomimineHorse]

Is it just me, or does the bloke look a bit like Geddy Lee?

[dyl650]

@PhantomimineHorse haha, i see what you mean!

[bbunters]

OK, her flute face was too much. Poor Fry.

[marrydruli]

Even when I look at it I get claustrophobic..

[RationalDischarge]

Well I, for one, think Hippies are great. But maybe what we've all learned from this video is that they shouldn't ALL be folk singers!

[aasigraa]

' I can't leave home', 'I can't leave home' ? Yeah, just go one fucking up your children's life

[inji05x]

ya i agree pretty sweet place to live but seriously... there must be another reason for living down there....

[omgchocolatemilk]

2:15 My favorite quote ever

[milkwhistle]

haha oh god the look on his face when they start singing.

[bill99959]

YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF PUTTING YOU OWN CONTAINERS IN THE GROUND, YOU HAVE TO GET OUTTA THERE OR BITE THE DUST.

[bill99959]

THEY ARE NOT TAKING NOTHING OFF OF THE TARGET LIST SHORT OF THEM COMING OVER HERE TO SEE FOR THEIR SELF THAT ITS NOW A HOUSE AND NOT AN ACTIVE SILO AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, SO YOU HAVE YOUR SELF IN A BIND NOW DON'T YOU......AS FOR WASTE ONE NUKE, SURE THEY HAVE PLENTY, YOU ARE ON THE LIST, AT ONE TIME I WANTED ONE FOR MYSELF, BUT SINCE THIS INFO CAME TO LIGHT, I DON'T WANT TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR ONE LET ALONE LIVE IN ONE!

[bill99959]

DON'T OUT SMART YOURSELF----- HAS ANYONE EVEN THOUGHT TO TELL RUSSIA, CHINA JAPAN ETC,,, THAT THAT LOCATION IS NO LONGER A TARGET??? YOU THINK YOU ARE SAFE NOW IN A SILO WHERE IN REALITY YOU NOW HAVE SEVERAL BIG NUKES POINTED RIGHT AT YOU FOR A DIRECT HIT,,,SSHHHEEEZZZ,,,BETTER GET ON THE HORN B4 ITS TOO LATE!

[willobi]

what a cool house.



[chez300]

wonder if you can get that song on itunes...

[h95718]

THEYLL STILL CATCH THE WRATH OF THE MOST HIGH!!...

[thatsmyrail]

What a cool house.

[Mrforestman59]

No sunlight seems to have made their hair grey

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

each to their own, personally i think its cool

[zperra]

Remember that movie Blast from the Past? That's what this reminds me of.

[SecherBeats]

The way they are shown here, is much more correct:

youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4RbLyqMb­Q

[mesk8terkid12]

retards

[gsh73la]

@mesk8terkid12 *says a Taylor Swift fan*  lol

[Strand0410]

I have no love for hippies, but his house rocks and they seem harmless enough.

[fnatic101]

i'd have a peanut butter sandwich.

[PooPoo2U]

i'm no hippie, but i also have always wanted my own missile silo... either that or a fucking huge treehouse.

[jusfuknwidya]

fucking weirdos

[DulBeat]

Ready? All together now! Iiiiiiiiiiiincest!

[freakystyley4000]

is it just me, or does the man-hippie look like a paler guitar-playing Geddy Lee?

[olddeuteronomy]

This is how mole people start out.

[freakystyley4000]

@olddeuteronomy - and Morlocks!

[Piatasify]

@freakystyley4000 they're gonna eat fry!

[freakystyley4000]

@Piatasify - settle down you. Mr. Fry is perfectly safe and sound somewhere in the UK. Don't worry - the Morlocks didn't get him.

[Piatasify]

@freakystyley4000 Thank heavens! I bet he lost a few of his camera crew though

[EddieTheFishReturns]

@olddeuteronomy: He has a nice bunkerhouse. I hope he isn't being undermined secretly by another hippie.

[bary1234]

Everybody should live under ground. That would be better for the nature. Everybody should not be nutcases though.

[ExtremeBogom]

"You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war".

Cheers Einstein.

[elliexjo]

Hahaa "I'll have a peanut butter sandwich!"

Good choice!

[Opt1on]

Put your energy up your ass mate

[CaledoniaLady]

@Opt1on I think nowadays they call that 70s energy stuff "Fung Shui." Had they been living on top like everyone else, they've known it.

[bloodrock333]

Flower Power,Cool,I'm Hip,Groovy,I Can Dig-IT!

[foxyfaefife]

In principle I quite like hippies; in practice though, they make you want to reach for the nearest sharp object.

[WorldAccording2ME]

Wonder if there are similar house silos in Russia

[yerk3]

@WorldAccording2ME Deconsecrated by the KGB and inhabited by Russian hippies? That would be fucking awesome!

[crazymoo56]

They can go outside for sunshine and clean air just the same as we can. The only difference is, after the radiation has gone, they'd still have a house to call home, but a standard house would likely be destroyed, depending on location.

I'm jealous of their home in all honesty. An amazing act of family preservation.

And what's wrong with hippies? Surely preferable to a warmongering globalist.

[yayforspooky]

I think this entire home was one of his "Room 101" items :-P

[KingDT2007]

3 minuts to live and have pb sandwich sounds like something i would do

[0MatthewThibodeaux]

those people are on something!!!

[LeoDeGrand]

Well as long as the bad singing is 18 inches underground ^__^

[chrisofnottingham]

When that guy started playing it was like a Bit of Fry and Laurie :-)

[Adhemar05]

quick, sound the hippie-alarm!!

[ColdNova75]

LMFAO!...I have just become Stephen Fry's newest fan ...The shot of his face in relation to the bug eyed expression of the hippie lady playing the recorder almost made me loose bladder control.... Priceless.

[GreenGretel]

"Dad, why do we live in a hole?" LOL.

[sbwpolo14]

Actually, underground facilities are quite energy efficient, as heat cannot simply be blown outside. Regular housing with windows and doors introduces a means of heat escape, not so with the underground.

[ontcan1]

@sbwpolo14 So you want to live like a mole in a hole without windows, no sunshine, no fresh spring air flowing into your living quarters. I'm not a reptile or a rodent - I want to live like a human, thanks very much!

[sbwpolo14]

@ontcan1 natural sunlight is highly overrated, sir, and the air in the standard human dwelling is akin to smoking a pack of fags daily. Furthermore, I prefer the title "Morlock" to rodent. Not praising this lifestyle, merely stating that I see the argument for it.

[ontcan1]

@sbwpolo14 I suppose sun light is a matter of taste - one can always wash down vaste quantities of Vitamin D to compensate - and I'll grant you skin cancer is an issue as well. I'd forgotten about the world of Morlocks! I'd pay to have Frey comment on Morlocks in view of this bunker habitation, American paranoia and their preoccuption with "conspiracy theories"!

[ljyong21]

Now, while I fucking hate hippies, this is undeniably a pretty cool place to live.

[F33bs]

@ljyong21 While I generally hate hippies, I love hippies like this. It's cool to see people doing their thing, even if it is inane.

[pgbcca1]

@ljyong21 why do you hate the label hippy? is it because its cool to hate them right now?

[ljyong21]

@pgbcca1 I don't hate the label, I hate what it represents. When was it "cool" to hate the hippies? I must've missed it.

[Lilja124]

@ljyong21

You hate what hippies represent? Like what? Relaxing, being naive, innocent, a bit stupid but really well-meaning?

Yeah, everyone thinks it's cool to hate hippies. Now, it's cool to be urban cynical, doubting climat change, being greedy, wanting bling and not being ashamed of it. Haven't you been watching your telly? And really, it's quite rather dull.

[andrewfink1]

@ljyong21 eviormeantalism good(not the crazy shit just chemicals in water and shit) some economic justice good but why do they ahve to smell like shit and be all spirtiy

[Moredread25]

At first I thought they were joking about the energy thing. They they started singing like the underground hippes that they are. I'd love to get one of these.

[xNeverthought]

A hippie?

[Idnarmadur]

I've watched an interview in which he ranted on about how stupid and senseless this whole talk of "energy" is (and quite understandably). So I imagine he was suffering horribly while listening to them :P

[macolleague]

Good grief - Stephen managed to live through one of my worst nightmares...such a brave, lovely man.

[DarkAngel182]

3 mins to live? I'd boil an egg!

[jazcash]

Your egg would be too runny!

[Biathine]

2:05 - poor Stephen! I feel for him :P

[CPGallagher89]

Poor Stephen must have been trembling with rage at all that energy nonsense.

[AdvocateToTheAccuser]

@CPGallagher89 Trembling with repressed laughter, I should think.

[Dylan9384]

@CPGallagher89 I really doubt rage is something he would feel... just the feeling of him gnashing his own teeth.

[Mangina9000]

@CPGallagher89 I think burnt out hippies playing folk music makes just about anybody go insane.

[freakystyley4000]

@CPGallagher89 - only the pot-smokers. They couldn't be compelled to leave!!!

[apocaRUFF]

@CPGallagher89 Or he could have been understanding that people have their own way of explaining things. Energy = feeling. Knowing the history of a room, you can get feelings of depression or other assorted emotions. An example would be sleeping in a bedroom where three people had been shot to death and two had died in their sleep in the bed, and one had died of a heart attack. And all the original furniture, paint, and carpeting are still there. You'd probably feel weird, despite knowing better.

[byteXI]

I'd love to live somewhere like this! How cool!
