[DiabloDave363]

lysssp

[coolcatz6199]

Wow modest mouse fails

[TheGrungeGestapo]

[laserchunk]

he looks like tesla

[DIGFOOL]

the lawyer guy looks like ben stein. lol

[TexRage21]

An obvious influence was the Talking Heads, David Byrnes did this type of interview long before. Great adaptation on Isacc Brock's part!

[HairyGoatSniffer]

April "sixthssssss"

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@HairyGoatSniffer want me to own u again? STOP TROLLING! HIS LISP is EPIC!

almost everytime u see this guy he is trolling

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@m3isSATCHEL You're the only one who thinks that I got owned, satchel-toucher. Simma down before I grappel your grandmother! Gonna bust out my tojo whooping stick and roundhouse kick you in the satchel. My satchel is of greater prominence than your excuse for a satchel. If your satchel were a man it would be Ron Howard, my satchel would be a cross btwn Anderson Silva,Bruce Willis, and a shark for obvious reason. I implore you to evaluate your skills. Im a level 91 in random. URsatchel

[DIGFOOL]

@HairyGoatSniffer 1. everyone who read it. including u.

2.u started it, all of it. i dont mind its really pretty fun.

3. saying satchel in the context u used it in 7 times makes u the straightest person i know

4. picking on random people like m3iscool (not cooler than thats me for everyone who doesnt know) does not give u skill. waht u did was tried to steal candy from a baby got puched by the baby and its mom beat u up and u ran away.

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@DIGFAGS too long did not read

[DIGFOOL]

@HairyballSniffer wow you must be to teard up from your pathetic existance to read, to busy pleasuring your boyfriend to bother, or to turned on by how many times u said " satchel" to focus

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@DIGFOOL ....just no...very, very no....BTW, How tall is Barack Obama?

[DIGFOOL]

@HairyGoatSniffer why the heck should i care? BTW, since you obviously didnt learn this in preschool saying "no! no! no!" is not a good comeback. no matter how many times u say it. ;(

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@DIGFOOL I said "very, very no" tsk tsk! And I figured you should know bc you are probably a gay-liberal-muslim-black man too! Toodles!

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@HairyGoatSniffer predudice really makes u look smart. u should be on fox news

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@m3iscoolerthanyou wow...........go away already

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@HairyGoatSniffer its obvious uve run out of things to say and im no where close to running out so i think u shoukd go away of of all MM comment boards.

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@m3iscoolerthanyou "uve" isnt a word.

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@m3iscoolerthanyou if all u have to do is correct me when i just made a word shorter than im not very offened.

obviously YOU'VE got no way to insult me further if ur going to be a grammar nazi

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@m3iscoolerthanyou i was wondering why you didnt reply. STOP talking to yourself, HOMOsapien

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@FabulousGoatSniffer congratulations YOU'VE figured out the prefix that means same. way to go. i think ur vocab just doubles so keep up the good work u ignorant, redudice, hypocritical, antiamerican waste of comment space who still CLEARLY has nothing else to say. ive got something up my sleeve so if u dont have anything to say i might as well block u and save it. im really starting to get bored of your pathetic attempt at being funny or mean or cool or whatever the fuck u r.

[HairyGoatSniffer]

@m3iscoolerthanyou please block me! and I will do the HOMO (same) :)

You can make an easy gay joke on this one

I have hair on my sleeves, may I borrow your lent roller?

[BillieAudo]

I adore this video like no one's business, and agree that I could just listen to his voice until I die. Sometimes I just play this in a loop on RealPlayer while I do other shit so I can tune in every now and then and get a giggle.

[DIGFOOL]

he could do a movie all by himself. like tyler perry squared.

[EyeJustSkateboard]

Fuck, i always would've guessed he was inspired by Tom Waits, but this proves it.

[murdoc562]

Fuckin love Isaac XD better than a lot of comedians/actors lmao

[smcosci]

pabst blue ribbon at 3:55

[SleepWalkingMice]

Jesus, y'all are all stupid. He alway places some sort of message that he doesn't believe in god. And, even if there turns out to be a god, then he's still going to heaven because he hasn't done anything wrong. Take "Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice, Alright" for example. He doesn't say that he hates god, he just looks at the whole f*cking religion thing in a true perspective. At least one that most Bible thumpers have placed on it. He's also stated previously that he doesn't believe, but

[SleepWalkingMice]

merely toys with the characters in general. He never says that he hates god, but he never says he believes. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I think most of you guys should just shut up. Isaac Brock is awesome, enough said. :)

[somuchbeautyindirt3]

@SleepWalkingMice Isaac Brock is the man and regardless what his beliefs r the man can write and make damn good tunes. Anyways to start a good ol fashion discussion do you ever wonder if he is agnostic? Like in Doin' the Cockroach "I was in heav/hell believe in neither but fear them as well." Like he believes in a "God" but not the one Christians/jews/Islams etc make him to be. Looking at it that way I feel like I can relate to a lot of his music & it makes me reassured yet depressed :/

[falstaffswims]

"The Charles in Charge theme song." Fucking brilliant!

[brewers70]

i would kill ta be that old guy, in the middle of a conversation between isaac brock and isaac brock with a mustache, hell yeah.

[vetdetta]

LoL @ 3:40....why not?

[suggarzinha]

Ele é hilário. kkkkkkkkk

[Lobodomy420]

ahahahahahahahahahaha

[smcosci]

pbr makes an appearance at about 3:58

[ThisIsKindaFunny]

This guy is a violent alcoholic. Fun fact of the day.

[brownclownsfrown]

was the interviewer drinking pbr? go oregonians...

[chrisfinest1]

The charles in charge theme song

[SchlockingFilms98]

"...the Charles in Charge theme song..." haha

[baldingmoose]

god people quit stroking the guys dick. his music is great but let's not get carried away. you're not the original fan with a unique ear who discovered modest mouse. hell no Isaac shouldn't be an actor.

[alphaguitar2]

@baldingmoose you make it sound like that first fan is better than the rest just because they happened to be in the right place at the right time.

[ed1n]

So funny with the neck thing. I think he gets his message through: Its really stiff to sit and answer question from somebody you dont know or care to know.

[ModestMousist]

whay don't ya like doin interviews?! hmm?

[NOTMEEPJINXCHANFOOLS]

isaac brock's fake mustace is the best disguise ever.

[MrConfuzeable]

The Guy with the mustache is kinda creepy.... and im still trying to figure out if this is serious ........ 1:07

[Guercinator]

@MrConfuzeable The "Guy in the mustache" is Isaac Brock in a disguise. That's the joke :)

[callan666]

"dog groomer" lol, Isaac is such a top performer going to watch MM in september can't wait!

[danmink]

I liked it better when david byrne did it 20 years ago!

[brockmay16]

he loves tom waits, that made my day. :DDDDDDD

[JimmyBshaw]

Oh fuck.

that was funny

"we put the concept on the video. you can just watch that."

Thats fucking funny

[JakeButlerIsTheMan]

Man they should be bigger then they are.

[andimhisfriendjesus]

kill yourself.

[gumballflip]

that was so fucking rad!

"The Charles in charge theme song" hahahahah

[carinacerrone]

just finished reading his unofficial bio book by alan goldshier, i effing love issac and would love to drink with him someday

[MagicalFenfen]

"ballerina... gymnast..."

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[PlayaDontHate24]

does he really have that bad of a lisp?

[HalfSharkGator]

yes

[notredale123]

He and his band are fucking amazing!

[Partynesster]

i love his lissssp. ha ha. Isaac is KING !

[greenassskateboard]

i've always saw isaac brock as a humorous guy

[sparklemycitybabyx3]

woah his voice is very different from when he sings but its not bad :D

[billsnation83]

brilliant

[Nate15b]

4:26 wtf hahahahaha

[aaronmcnello]

LOL! I KNOW! Whats up with 4:26??? Ha ha ha i don't get it but it made me laugh my butt off.

[EveryoneHasOneBrain]

He's an amazing odd ball. :P I'm in love with his voice.

[30H13]

they're from washington..

[corncornrocks]

isaac sounds so weird.

like no one else in music.

maybe tom waits.

[flipwits2]

He's from Washington, but he has a southern/surfer accent with a lisp.

[nugZonFiRE]

PBR!!!!!

[musicforchewfaygs]

pbr ftw.

[pokabeb]

This guy should put off singing for some other time and start acting,friggin hilarious!!!

[doitinasubmarine]

god I could listen to his voice for the rest of my life XD

[kartwheeloverlife]

Arguing on the web is pointless.

[Redsparrowe123]

you'de have to ask him, I can't speak for him. Modest Mouse is just my favorite band

[Redsparrowe123]

One of my favorite lyrics from them has always been " go to the desert, point my rifle in the sky, and say GOD IF I HAVE TO DIE YOU WILL HAVE TO DIE!"

[andimhisfriendjesus]

new fans of modest mouse are ruining the band.

[DrewDarko]

You sound like the interviewer.... If you really think the "new fans" of modest mouse are ruining their music then you are the problem.

[Markau102]

that doesn't make any sense.

[dudesons441]

Not really. The fans don't influence their music at all.

[EthanTheEnigmatic]

"Charles in Charge theme". Comedic brilliance.

[Redsparrowe123]

God bless Isaac Brock. I know whenever I hear some dumb shit like owl city or hollywood undead i can take solace in the fact that I have "this is a long drive..." in my car. fuck mediocrity! LONG LIVE MODMOU

[Markau102]

"god bless" you listen to modest mouse and you believe in god?

[Redsparrowe123]

eh, im agnostic, but I used it more as a figure of speech. I'm not religious. If you listen to "doin the cockroach" or anything on moon and antarctica or really any of their songs you can tell that Brock thinks about God and the perenial questions, i.e. "why are we here? "what's my purpose?" "is there a god", etc alot. That's why I've always connected with his ;yrics, because he's so philisophical

[Markau102]

Well, almost all of his philosophical songs are about that there's no god, no reason, and no purpose.

[Redsparrowe123]

I agree but after listening to him for years and just seeing the amount of material he's written about "God" it's clear to me that its on his mind. Like when an atheist talks incessantly about how there is no God you start to wonder if he's trying to convince you or himself.

[Markau102]

it's on my mind a lot because I'm one of the only people who don't believe it. Atheists are a small minority, and it pisses me off, and probably him too.

[Redsparrowe123]

Yeah, I respectfully disagree that atheists are a SMALL minority. Ever been on a college campus? I used to be pissed off by religion and the amount of people I assumed were suckered into believing in God, and I still have resentments with religion and anyone with dogmatic beliefs, but that include worshipping at the alter of science, of atheists. I feel like whatever works for someone is their business but the real truth is no-one KNOWS. period. hence, me being agnostic. As far as Brock

[Markau102]

In the world, Atheists are the smallest minority. There are a lot of atheists in college because, well, we think a bit more on average.

[Redsparrowe123]

I don't have the numbers in front of me, so I'm going to concede with you on that point. Why do you think that is, that there are so few atheists? and

Out of curiosity, what do you believe as an atheist? No God, sure, but then what?

(BTW I'm not arguing with you I just enjoy these types of convos)

[Markau102]

1. I believe that there is no meaning, that life is just a coincidence and that we should look at everything from the standpoint of everything, not from the standpoint of ourselves. Also, death is the end of everything that made you up physically, there is no soul.

2. So do i

[Redsparrowe123]

do you fear death or are you depressed in life, since nothing has an inherent meaning and it's a ride to nowhere?

[Markau102]

I do fear death, as a normal person should, and I am not deprssed in the slightest, which suggests to me you don't really understand atheism at all. There is no meaning, and this doesn't upset me, I accept this and it makes my life all the more interesting and astounding.

Everything is a ride to nowhere, so fucking what?

You need to think more.

[StandardofPurity]

Redsparrowe, saying "I'm not arguing with you I just enjoy these types of convos" and then going on to accuse Markau102 of being somehow incomplete in life due to atheism is pretty retarded

[Markau102]

He enjoys trying to tear my grip on reality :P

[Redsparrowe123]

not true. i do not enjoy that, though I see how it could come across that way. Youtube convos are so difficult because you can't really get a sense for where the other person is comming from. sooo ima end this one here. amazing we got this far before it became negative and tinged with emotion. its bound to happen tho when discussing beliefs. i will say tho that it would not surprise me if I become full blown atheist at some pt. i'm not far from it now. and like i said below, w/e works. peace

[Markau102]

ALright that comment was put out jokingly hence the face. It has not become tinged with emotion. Why are you running off to somewhere?

[somuchbeautyindirt3]

@Markau102 This convo has really been great to read on both ends. I am more w/ redsparrow but in a way agree w/ you & see where ur coming from. Thank you 4 clearing up ur belief & feelings (sorry that sounded sappy) Heard of Alan Watts? He gets u thinking as does Isaac which is why I love them both. I believe in a God & evolution & sometimes h8 evolution bc it made us think and gave us feelings otherwise death & questioning life wouldnt be such an issue for most ppl. Just my thought to share.

[somuchbeautyindirt3]

@Redsparrowe123 I am with you! I feel like what you wrote is word for word what I would say/write and how I feel. Thanks for reassuring me that there are other ppl like me out in this world.

[Redsparrowe123]

@somuchbeautyindirt3 Likewise. It's nice to know that someone out there thinks like me too. Nice name btw, that's one of my favorite songs. I remember riding my bike drunk with my friends in high school and I had that song in my ear. One of the more blissful memories in my brain. "Get real drunk, and ride our bikes. so much beauty it could make you cry... so much beauty it could make you cry... so beauty it could make you cry."

[somuchbeautyindirt3]

@Redsparrowe123 Yay, I got a friendly comment! Never rode on my bike drunk, but watched someone bust their ass riding drunk! Don't worry I only laughed after he was ok ;) Where does Redsparrowe123 come from? Well I suppose I get the 123!

[Redsparrowe123]

@somuchbeautyindirt3 There's a band that I like called red sparrowes. I was listening to them when I created this account.

[Seriously3000]

Why do you care if someone believes in a god? You don't? Good for you.

[Lacocacolaman]

@Seriously3000 they believe in God. they just hate him

[OMGITSEMALYN]

lmao

[Seriously3000]

No I was talking about the people in the comments...I know Modest Mouse does.

[Lacocacolaman]

@Seriously3000 oh ok. I don't hate God.

[Seriously3000]

Yeah I'm just talking about how everyone has to come on to YouTube comments and say shit about God when they can't change anyone's minds.

[qiqimaster]

@Lacocacolaman @Lacocacolaman Issac Brock said, "I'm 100 percent on the whole Christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much, but I don't give a fuck if other people are religious. Believe what you want. Whatever makes the day easier for you. "

[Lacocacolaman]

@qiqimaster

they believe in him. they acknowledge God in a bunch of songs. Poor bastards, good music it's just too bad they hate God.

[Flea817]

@Lacocacolaman Isaac said himself he thinks the bible is good for songwriting because it has cool characters and stuff, but he doesn't actually believe in him.

[somuchbeautyindirt3]

@qiqimaster This is what makes Isaac so great he expresses his view on life without being a dick and bashing others on theirs. Ppl will be more willing to listen if not attacked. Thanks for the quote.

[ilikemodestmouse]

@Lacocacolaman Um, no sir. To quote Isaac Brock from an interview with the av club which I am unable to link, but can be found simply by googling "isaac brock interview"

"I'm 100 percent on the whole Christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much"

[Lacocacolaman]

@ilikemodestmouse

um, no sir to you. To use logic. A bunch of his songs talk about God calling him bad names. If you ask me from what he does he believes in him. He just hates him. I don't understand peoples logic. Why would people make songs about something that "doesn't" exist. talking about them like a person, referring to them and so on.

[ilikemodestmouse]

@Lacocacolaman I can tell from your user page that you're a jesus freak. To be honest I would rather go argue with a brick wall. I don't think Isaac would lie about his stance on Christianity, but believe whatever you want to.

[Lacocacolaman]

@ilikemodestmouse for some odd reason I don't find the term "Jesus Freak" insulting... Oh well. NO guy the guy believes in God. I don't listen to what he says I look at what he does. I see him go out of his way to constantly bash on God. If you ask me he hates him. ha ha, but he sure does have some damn good songs. :(

[MyVersionOfReality]

@Lacocacolaman He said that CHRISTIANITY was a crock of shit, not god. There are all sorts of religions. Use your fucking brain if you're going to make wild accusations about someone you don't know.
