Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins

[withConor]

was he egging Shatner on?

[TheKnoLawjick]

... I don't even.

[EduardoTVideos]

And this is how to create artifical Ponn Farr.

[megamanx1800]

So illogical

[Rankerquat]

I loved this song as a kid!

[zombiefan011]

It's like if Joel Schumacher (Batman & Robin) directed a Star Trek-Lord of the Rings crossover

[6T9ERNZ]

0.15  DILDO....Dildo.....DILDO.....

[manert]

@6T9ERNZ Are you 12?

[awesomeo406]

How ilogical!

[Elainiwen]

"Exciting times for fans of Cumberbatch’s work! Doctor Who, The Hobbit, Star Trek, Sherlock – where will he pop up next? Hmmm – an actor from Star Trek taking a trip to Middle earth – remember the result the last time that happened? What’s that – you don’t?? Well, let us remind you. *insert evil laugh here….*"

Thanks a lot for the "rick roll of Lotr geeks" TheOneRing... xD

[Dersi007]

wHAT...the...FUCK!?!?.../wrist­s

[tatonghudas]

I don't know the f*** he's been smoking when he did this but I wanna try some...

[enzo275]

Lowest point in his life...or the highest?

[EpsilonRanger]

When the next couple trailers/clips for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film come out, I'm making a montage with this song. Steal my idea and I'll cast you into the fires of Mount Doom!

[ruairidh444]

@EpsilonRanger if you dont want people to steal it why post it up in the first place?

[EpsilonRanger]

@ruairidh444 ي طويل القلب يرتجف منتظراً لحظات لمسة يدكِ ..اخاف عليه الشحوب من شدة شوقي لـكِ

العمر يمر مشتاقاً للحظة ضمكِِ بين يدي .. اخاف عليه الفناء من شدة حنيني لـ ضمكِ

تعالي ننسج حلماً جديداً .. نسميه للناس حلم الحب الأبدي .. و تبقي.

[BroyhillVideo]

clearly leaked footage of peter jacksons new film.

[Scienceorc]

@BroyhillVideo In all seriousness, I hope they play this song during the credits!

[tzinacan5243]

Bilbo would have loved this song.

[PhantomStella]

Not sure why...but this song makes me want to listen to it forever. *hits play again*

[Astrapsody]

Entirely...illogical.

[skillcosby88]

leonard nimoy must have been smoking some really radical shit when he made this

[mel0oo]

wait...is this for real?

[ArKane884]

Best. Song. Ever.

[squarene]

No wonder Spock died..

[Mallory12Mcintyre]

Facinating.... otherwise horrifiing o.o then again hilarious... I can't decide xD

[SouleaterOnyx]

one does not simply sing about bilbo baggins . .

[jmaltz37]

there has to be a logical explanation behind this

[AlanGunn97]

Is it stupid? Yes. But where else will you see Spock sing about the works of JR Tolkien?

[Bonooru1234]

what do the buttons that they're wearing say?

[SchmokinJoe]

At least he's surrounded by cute girls.

[Langsorigingaleia]

Spock? What are you doing?

[magnificator]

@Langsorigingaleia this was made during the 2nd season of "Star Trek" somewhere inbetween 1967 and 1968

[PoweredByFlow]

Oh the 70's. Of course they were high as fuck.

[hagerty1952]

For all of you who are annoyed, just compare it to Shatner's "Tambourine/Rocket Man" and it's positively inspired. 

[Vassalius]

Footage of the origins of Master Xehanort's hatred of light.

[phonedog365]

This makes all version of Willy Wonka seem positively grounded.

[tacoblocko]

GREATEST FUCKING SONG EVER!

[hagerty1952]

@tacoblocko Time to adjust the meds again?

[tacoblocko]

@hagerty1952 Maybe...and by greatest fucking song ever I mean the most hilarious, plus it isn't THAT bad its awesomely stupid.

[hagerty1952]

@tacoblocko No argument here. It's got a good beat and it's fun to dance to :-)

Nimoy is (or maybe, was) a fairly competent singer. Shatner, on the other hand...

[tacoblocko]

@hagerty1952 I like shatners things to but only cause they're so hilarious XD

[DMarks97]

An accurate description of The Hobbit.

[MrLocomotorVids]

This is the highlight of his career. A masterpiece of character analysis and plot-driven development. The true beauty of this song cannot be spoken in words. An epic beyond belief.

[cobrafreak006]

soo. confused.........

[Petrograd1918]

I can't process the absurdity.

[OperationCyanide]

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed this video? You people have no sense of humor.

[Antiyonder]

@OperationCyanide: Well, one thing that helps me to enjoy it is imagining Dr. McCoy coming upon this video and uncharacteristically laughing his ass off. He'd never let Spock live it down:-).

[bzert281]

@OperationCyanide I liked it. If one gets past the bizarro dancing, and remembers that this *was* the Sixties, ol' Len actually has a decent singing voice.

Saw a vid of a much older Nimoy at the podium, at some Star Trek signing, when somebody called out "Do Bilbo," and he did a quick improptu riff of the BOBB, and it was great, he remembered the lines straight up, but he was cracking himself up too, right away the whole house was going "Bilbo-ooooo, Bilbo Baggins"...

[GoofballLtG]

This WTF video of the day was brought to you by...the 1960's.

[IamYukai]

Where are these hateful comments coming from?! This is genius!

[therunningwo1f]

well, unlike the top two comments, I think its great

[skillcosby88]

i didn't come here looking for answers, but i left with many questions

[angelo270696]

this is up there on my list of hilariously bad songs.

[Xenomorph1112]

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Smash. Computer. With. Hammer.

[NoCostBoss]

i searched this because tobuscus used to mention bilbo baggins a lot. but wtf

[calebrhodus]

This isn't as bad as Will Shatner's 'Bohemian Rhapsody"...

[TheLordmep]

... I'm frightened.

[jcwhite1288]

Picture is unrelated

[soaply69]

dafuq?

[IDONTCARE123124]

This is fucked

[243263843]

Didn't know Leonard Nimoy did softporn.

[constipatedgoldfish]

I like how everyone has pointy ears in this video EXCEPT Leonard Nimoy.

[The4EverYoung85]

@constipatedgoldfish They were mocking him.

[originalrecipes]

Does anyone have this in HD? I want to play it on my 80" LED screen.

[originalrecipes]

This song flat out rocks! I love it and should be played everyday for the rest of our lives!

[doctorseaweed2]

Better then Justin Bieber

[xxnanabanana]

1:21 oh my god they're taking off their clothes in the background. D:

[constipatedgoldfish]

@xxnanabanana

Who wouldn't automatically take their clothes off to LoTr and Spock?

[BlazingWarrior117]

SSSSOOOOO ILOGICAL

[goremister54321]

Best. Song. EVAAAAAAAH.

[zammer990]

THIS IS EPIC!

[hollycamolly]

Not sure if trekking or trolling?

[Gothicanime20]

I think this is the *highest* moment of his life. Anyone who could have done this and honestly have a good time must have been high

I also heard that this was played at Woodstock.

[TrueKeyBladeGamer]

those girls are gorgeous though

[Trollderpful]

How the FUCK did I get here.

[killer92173]

@Trollderpful Nostalgia Critic?

[Curtis10009]

mind blown



[Nailsinmytummy]

Why???

[flmbyz]

I dunno, Transformers 3 pretty much marks a new low for Leonard Nimoy...especially after that horrendous use of his classic line from Wrath of Khan. So illogical. XP

[siebura]

it's an awesome song!



[Tacomadome24]

we

[Tacomadome24]

Sure it's cheesy, but aren't we all glad can see this stuff now and have a good laugh?

[geoicontact]

Painful!

[TheStapleGunKid]

I love that puzzled look on Leonard's face at the end of the song. It perfectly sums up everything about this video. It's like at the very end, he suddenly realized how absurd this was and thought "wait a minute. What the hell am I doing here?"

[Tatari62]

actually, because leonard nimroy is singing this, its a master piece

[comedypros]

well i don't need to see the motion picture epic of that is the hobbit this year. this song tells me everything that happens

[zombiefan011]

Why is everyone EXCEPT Leonard Nimoy wearing those ears!!??

[Davesknd]

@zombiefan011 It's like inverse-bad-trek.

Everyone but the Vulcan wears ears, the women wear what seems to be burlap sweaters and it's never so bad that it's hilarious. It's just bad.

[crazyweecat]

Don't understand the hate for this song...it's legendary =') And Bilbo was only three feet tall...and you know, I would say he was one of the greatest little hobbits of them all...=P

[halodystroyer44]

i like it

[zombiefan011]

Somewhere JRR Tolkien is spinning in his grave

[sithunter2]

damn you jim your logical not ilogical

[mj4ever1332]

his ears... O.o too, round. but the hair is good :P

[OMGTorikunx3]

We meet again.. 240p

[lvp20]

Tell those bitches about Bilbo Baggins, bitches love Bilbo Baggins

[BTIsaac]

This is so very illogical.

[WhitenedInk]

I wonder how Tolkien feels about this...

[Cjmagnificent]

@WhitenedInk I think he'd die if he saw it....oh wait. DAMN YOU LEONARD NEMOYYYY

[celestinvenus]

Why at 1:06 does Leo say "Well you fuck with the goblins"???

[Barbeta13]

BRAVEST LITTLE HOBBIT OF THEM ALL !

[KubernetePirata]

lol this isn't so bad, at least Nimoy can sing, Shatner can't XD

[GranthamStreet]

0:50- why on Vulcan has he attached himself to that woman? :P 

[1957pinup]

Nemoy needs to go on tour and play this

[zombiefan011]

They managed to ruin both Star Trek and Lord of the Rings at the same time

[vaguener]

At 1:17 he droped a DVD... Time travel, now I believe!

[cph9680]

That's so fuckin' awesome!

[mmoyer727]

Nimoy looks so strange without the Vulcan ears.

[TheAvidGatherer]

Some tall hobbit women.

[Bub1029]

I'd say this might actually be the highest moment. I mean look at those women. Those are some authentic 60s hot chicks right there.

[morphman86]

@Bub1029 Yeah, compare them to the almost naked 60's lovechildren he surrounded himself with in Star Trek... I think the sweater-covered, plastic-eared, uncoordinated bag-ladies in this video are outmatched ;)

[tominator999]

Like.....Why does this exist.....?.....Why did someone feel the need to make this.....?

[GisforGorillaz]

@tominator999 i couldn't agree more...

[FilmFTW1]

What the frak?!

[Obi569]

My new wedding song.

[gunyugunyu28]

dafuq that i just watch

[boardfu]

I'm sorry. :28  Those hobbits are hot.

[pennsylvaniapuchai]

Wow...music transcends all human barriers...including taste and sanity. I LOVE THIS TRACK!

[vivalaliz09]

I need this song in my life on a daily basis.

[zombiefan011]

Thumbs if this should be put in the upcoming Hobbit movies as the theme song!

[SammEater]

Holy... I'm a fan of Star Trek and Lord of The Rings and I never knew about this music video, damn. But it's kinda awesome. :D

[Ummmmmm16]

I want a ringtone of this

[Ummmmmm16]

Thumbs up if you knew about this before you saw it on Nostalgia Critic....causing you to laugh your ass off :D

[aaanemone]

I've found it when I wrote: SING ME A SONG HOBBIT :D

[neoperseus]

Something tells me this song will not be the theme for the new "The Hobbit" !! A shame.

[pedrobmf262]

uh.... I thought that.... you know what no I got nothing

[MangaObsessed641]

Maybe it's just me, but this is my new favorite song. Srsly. It's LEONARD NIMOY singing about  BILBO BAGGINS.

What's not to love?

[ThemToob]

I hope they use THAT in the New feature film!

[WalrusDoctor]

Leonard, we think we can get you those 16 year old girls to hang out with, but you'll need to come up with a song first.

[DobbyIsFreeeee]

Never forget.

[GrinningSceptic]

I once liked Spock, then I took this song to the ear.

[dimeboxtallone]

@_@ what logic convinced spock this was a good idea to make

[Leatherbubba]

Was The Hobbit really hip with the kids in the 60's, or something?

Why did he do this?

[Wolfengene]

What was the purpose of this video? Just... Why?

[Ne0nLobster]

That happened... and we let it happen...

[GrinningSceptic]

@Ne0nLobster

It still wasn't as bad as us letting Mick Jagger and David Bowie: Dancing in the Street happen :-D

[MsSardonicus]

O....M....F.....G...!!! D8

[Manthing32]

lowest moment ? this is awesome !!

[804cowman]

thumbs up if tobuscus brought you here

[BillKiernan]

this is an overdose of WTF

[DemoraX]

dammit man, he's a vulcan not a hobbit!

[carbilicon]

Worst? This is The Worst? This is GOLD! GOLD!!!

[markisonlin3]

How amazing would it be if as a practical joke Peter Jackson played this before the real The Hobbit movie.

[nostalgiatrip1]

@markisonlin3 I thought he would had this as a joke since the Hobbit had been in development hell since 2003, I mean Jackson did do a Son of Kong joke in the special features of King Kong.

[TheMagicDrPancakez]

Is this a joke?

[sepaco003]

What...

What did...

What in Spocks' name was in my drink at dinner?

[happystickman]

This is... quite illogical...



[Canemikat]

what

the fuck

was that!?



[MilitarySpartan]

Why/what was this video made for? !

[Radith87]

Legendary Frog brought me here. :P

[bigphilscholarii]

songs pretty decent , shame the video is truelly awful

[retroclone1]

this song is catchy as fuck

[MistwalkerZ]

...I won't ever again follow a footage shown by the Nostalgia Critic How am I gonna be able of sleeping after watching this? >_>

[humilisadvena]

Okay... someone SERIOUSLY needs to make a video out of that clip from The Lord of the Rings where Gollum is being tortured, have this video playing in the background. Someone please make it happen!

[F14ace]

Oh Spock why? Somehow "illogical just doesn't describe this.

[luige]

Spock?

[Staticzero9]

@luige yep, thats spok O_O

[MobileThinker]

this is not bad at all. this is fuckin awesome! pelayo, thank you for uploading, but it is not the lowest moment in Leonard's life, this is a high point!!!

AND THIS IS TOTALLY WHAT TOLKIEN INTENDED!!!

[sithunter2]

@MobileThinker yea intended

[ShootingStarNeo]

...Xehanort?

This is most illogical.

[ChaoticEmperor01]

wow, this...is...pathetic

[ShadowHosi]

Worst song? your a horrible person THIS SONG IS GOLD

[CodMash]

Syndicate!

[TheBioLover]

I would like to put my Bilbo in those girls baggins'

[Leatherbubba]

0:15

Jesus....that fucking dancing is terrible.

[Tacom4ster]

This needs to be in the new movie

[FFFFUUUUZZZZEEEE]

Spok, what...are,you doing, this is just...foolish, KKKKHHHHAAAAAANNN will make fun of you

[alitllebitemo]

I want this to be the soundtrack of the movie :D

[MrBBfootfetishist]

OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWD!

[Rampage470]

Thumbs up if the Nostalgia Critic brought you here.

[SlavaGen]

1:03 freaking me out the most

[gk10002000]

my childhood friend had an album with this song on it. One each Joe Dargie, I hope all is well
