Jonny Greenwood "funny" 2003 interview

[dr05guitar]

interviewer is a dingbat: "you're known to be kind of weird right?" come on now

[loljustice31]

oh my gosh, he is so socially awkward! <3

[musicformymuse]

football = boring

[ncethngs]

i'd take the bends

[Kitzie69]

These guys are cretins.

[robertf21]

I can't believe how nice Jonny was to these morons.

[loljustice31]

@robertf21 I don't think they were morons, they were trying to be nice.

[taquitozz]

the interviewers suck, but Jonny is a nice guy

[ukstevey]

this sounds like the simpsons dj's

[dude1305]

@ukstevey KBBL! Totally!

[jessegoirn]

5:01

Interviewer: How bout this one, Radio.

Jonny: Hea...uhh.....Dial.

I think we all were thinking Radiohead too :p

[wantsomecake328]

"Did you guys ever get that kind of criticisim, that you're kind of off-the-cuff, kinda bizarre, kinda strange?"

"No... we're well brought up young men, who respect their elders."

[xxcocoloco]

oh my god rofl do they even know what they're talking about

[klaasjanBerbatov]

entirely unprofessional interviewers wtf, their stance was so condescending.

[jesseruizjr]

what intentions do these interviewers have?

They're just being dicks, calling him weird and then laughing at his reactions.

[TheSimonCournoyer]

I'm ashamed to come from Ottawa :(

[Lylodile]

That was hilarious

[dramasujei]

idiots.

[LolaLavonda]

This is... the funniest... thing... i've ever seen.

[reanesfly]

I love Johnny's tone with "What?" too

[Telly345]

Holy shit. This is so awkward and hilarious.

[surfjabroni]

English sarcasm v mainstream American radio

[bankyandbrodie]

i feel embarrassed listening to this for how lame these interviewers are...

[eastlake93]

Who are these boobs interviewing him?

[agk971]

Jonny is a above this. And that's probably why he decided to go on and subtly take the piss out of those embarrassingly bad interviewers.

[sorryibrokethetrees]

lol it's like two peasants tryin to have a talk with god...

[Swachitsky]

hey buddy ?

did you really fucking call BUDDY TO JONNY FUCKING GREENWOOD ?

[FarmerHeard]

Greenwood is a prick here. They're complimenting him and he's whinning at them like a whorre with aids who has been significantly underpayed.

[FarmerHeard]

Greenwood is a prock here. They're complimenting him and he's whinning at them like a whorre with aids who has been significantly underpayed.

[tretastellar]

that pair of dicks. Jonny kicks butt without meaning to though!

[Radz117]

Whoa is this really him? He's like the nicest coolest guy ever!

[TheSchimmi]

1:25 "That is correct"

O RLY

[IMrHogz]

Illness - Boring hahaha

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

Didn't now Jonny had a voice. I thought he just made those robot sounds, like the ones that come out of his guitar :O

[MissingINo]

This is Mauler and Rush? For Gods sake they came to my school a couple of years ago. They do some stupid talkshow on the fucking "HOT POP 100" channel. Dicks.

[BloggerMusicMan]

What a couple of idiots. Greenwood was cool about it though.

[slytown]

All XFM had was Rick, Steve, and Karl.

[ParanoidPola]

Jonny is so cute! *-* and inocent! poor little Jonny <3

[RadioheadHim]

poor jonny <3 

[thegamingcure]

worst interview ever

[LolaLavonda]

monty python, the beatles, radiohead.

you brits are officially funnier than us.

[ThexParanoidxAndroid]

@LolaLavonda I don't know man Louis CK, Mitch Hedberg, Dave Chapelle..... there are some funny americans

[EleanorAlys]

Aww...Jonny is so lovely.

[nikt]

haha the presenter sounded quite upset when johnny didn't laugh at his louie louie joke. and quite rightly, it was a terrible joke.

[RueArsins]

also, is it wrong that when he said "Miss Piggy" I instantly thought "Sausages"?

[RueArsins]

"Is this your best album so far?", "No it's crap, go buy Kid A!"

that's kinda what i get from their reactions to this album, (not my opinion though).

by the way, i had no idea that was a dog he was holding until i looked real close! XP

[losdplace2be]

This is the face Jonny would have been pulling the entire time, poor man.

[TaffyRaphie]

Fuck these guys, I was listening to the interview and thinking how stupid they sounded and when they said Hot 89.9, I was sad.

I live in Ottawa. worst radio station, worst radio heads (pun pun pun), worst radio hosts

[HumanJarv]

This makes me proud to be English <3

[commatose1]

Poor Jonny, making the best outta an awkward situation.

[streetballdude16]

Hot 89.9. Gayest radio station ever...

[penutbito]

ugh its because of idiots like this that radiohead doesnt talk to people or tour anymore

[Alternativerealm]

They were just having fun.

[extrammel]

"Good luck to the other guys from the head." Those interviewers are douche bags. I wonder if he realized that "The head" is another way of saying toilet.

[BradComis]

These guys are idiots. :( *Canadian shame*

[ukstevey]

these dj's sound like the ones in the simpsons, with the phart sound effects.

[RazorDucki]

these people can talk to jonny but I can't? :(

[embassy1010]

They somehow get the guitarist for one of the most brilliant bands in history to grace their lame little radio show, and they ask him what word "Miss Piggy" reminds him of.

I can't believe I just heard that.

[jessegoirn]

When they said Radio he was about to say head, but stopped himself. =p

[untuned92]

"I have a cable" oh god why did I laugh so hard

[KelBaines]

What a pair of twats.

[brw0044]

my favorite is...."What?"

[squalidshake]

this is hilarious "you guys are known to be kinda weird right" "ah um no noo" haha what do you say to that 

[angel0072856]

What a sweetie. Jonny is just an amazing guy.

[scottwlk88]

what the hell was the louis joke about? 

[radioactiverabbitss]

@scottwlk88 You know the song Louie Louie by Richard Berry? One of the most famous rock songs

[bluesintheblood]

dudes that work in radio seem to never know a damn thing about music or musicians and are the biggest phonies with fake energies that they try to present for the media machine they work for, people that just like to hear themselves speak nothing but BS all day long......embarrassing

[clearguitar1]

 idiots interviewing genius

[TheNadster2]

looool you guys are known to be kind of weird right?? both the best and worst question i've ever heard

[turciosable]

alguien podria traducir lo q estan diciendo? xD o resumir xD

[cosmicrider287]

huge talent and great guy.

[pflzgnr]

It's interviews like this that make Jonny not like getting interviewed.

[MrMadness87]

these radio presenters sound like weeny and the butt off ov family guy

[MercuryClock]

The hosts must not listen to a lot of music if they think there's never been an album like Kid A recorded. Not that Kid A is a bad album because of that.

[jabes88]

The radio hosts obviously have no idea about how to speak to real musicians. I hate them

[09livvy09]

"The Beatles"

"Ummm...delightful."

"You don't mean that!"

"Sure I do!"

HOW DARE YOU CONTRADICT JONNY'S MUSICAL TASTE!

[09livvy09]

"I'm a hermit I'm afraid" hahaha cute :)

[JorshItUp]

I don't think they understand that they're interviewing someone from Radiohead

[nick4man3]

One of those interviewers sounds like Wayne Coyne.

[josshead124]

[iminent=3Hgri7YVffOB] LOVE U JONNY

[joemunkey30]

lol, the head

[chuestuart]

KID A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[wantsomecake328]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

HE SAYS THE BEATLES ARE DELIGHTFUL

IM GONNA GO CHANGE MY PANTS

[MorpheusEmilio]

-Do you have cable?

-I have A cable...

LMAO He's so funny! <3

[yummykabocha]

"I find you two the strangest people I've ever spoken to."

[flame0154]

@yummykabocha :O how could somebody not like the beatles?!?!

[Raziax4]

i hate these fucking interviewers... wasting Jonny's time.. playing games that are 'boring'.. lol yea, the only thing i laughed at was when Jonny was hinting how bored he is. :P these 2 interviewers dont relate to Jonny's personality at all...... all in all though, i enjoyed listening :) oh.. and need some new music soon too.! im waiting patiently Radiohead, will buy the new album the day it releases :)

[stinkfists462]

"Kid A, 'cause it's a good record" humble men make their masterpieces that much fantastic

[marmotbasin]

worst interviewers ever, couldn't have picked the worst people to interview jonny greenwood. clearly they haven't that faintest clue about radiohead, only what is written in front of them.

[Spizike237]

Jonny Greenwood doesn't need to be bothered by your fuggin' FM radio sound effects and your fuggin' word association you fuggin' jagovs.

[djdj42]

Jonny handles it well.

[ilikeredandblack]

now these are the worst interviewers of all time.

[thermos123]

This is why radio is most awful thing ever.

[Dave12815]

Jonny attempts to bond with his mom's douchy boyfriend.

[topcatiscool]

football.......boring WIN

[hallinanmatthew]

When he says Radio Jonny is totally about to say head but he stops himself..

Probably just to mess with the presenters :3

[stripeyninga]

lol - small ugly dog!

[Kargaroc]

"I find you two the strangest people I've ever spoken with..."

[ImpendingDoomUSA]

These interviewers need to both jump off a cliff into lava. Absolute garbage.

[pyro4002]

@Ashvegian Hahaha I'm not school, bro.

I gotta go to my special ed classes right now, but I'll be sure to give you a more adequate response when I have time to think really hard about how to spell things properly, because I'm retarded!

[TheMoek1]

Those two are fukn retards!

Bangers means meat and potatoes

"bangers and mash" it's a British thing.

They laughed like children when jonny responded to suasage as bangers, meaning meat in England.

[Izzy220988]

@TheMoek1 You are wrong, bro. Sorry

[TheMoek1]

@Izzy220988 Then correct me. 

[seventeenthree]

@TheMoek1 please explain why you think bangers means meat in england? i am intrigued.

[TheMoek1]

@seventeenthree Banger because lets face it what do you need to bang?? WEINER and mash for mashed potatoes. Use google next time. (;

[seventeenthree]

@TheMoek1 hehehehe. i hope you are trolling, for your sake. xoxoxoxoxoxo

[siddius]

I love it!

Just because they give him the chance to be so sarcastic!

[Exeron91]

"You guys are known to be kind of weird, right?" - The moment I stopped listening

[MamaLuigii]

@Exeron91 Same, haha.

[12345l6789]

I Love his sense of humour

[tehJESSEH]

I don't get it... I've listened to this interview maybe on four different occasions, and each time I never found the interviewers to be rude or condescending or inappropriate... they're radio jockeys playing to a public audience that may or may not know who Jonny Greenwood is. This is a very entertaining interview for ANYONE who listens, not just Radiohead fans. In that respect, they did a very good job, and judging by how Jonny left, I really don't think he was offended at all.

[Miker393]

"He about the size of a large mouse and he looks like he's been kicked in the face" roflcopter! johhny greenwood is da best

[stereosanctity7]

ill bet these douchbags don't own a single radiohead record. jonny sounds annoyed during that stupid word game.

[snowdengray]

@Ashvegian I believe the DJs said they're in Ottawa. Which is in Canada. 

[TheSchoolsux345]

@Ashvegian Theyre canadian cockfag

[TheSchoolsux345]

@Ashvegian woah there....somebody needs a hug...lol wow ur an asshole have fun yelling at strangers over youtube for the rest of your life! and saying shit about gay people only makes you look like even more of an asshole. haha have a good night sexy.

[Ashvegian]

@TheSchoolsux345

whatever you say "schoolsux" - you're 33 years old? why would school still suck for you?? lol

well, all the best with being a cock and...a drop-out. And good luck with life in the trailer-park,

[TheSchoolsux345]

@Ashvegian dude ive been trying really hard to get past 8th grade. no need to hate

[Ashvegian]

@TheSchoolsux345  fair enough, take it easy.

[pyro4002]

@Ashvegian if i can be completely honest with you, your last couple of comments illustrate to me that you're not very good at this whole youtube/internet thing and you're kind of an idiot. you may want to consider easing off on the computer and focusing on reducing your "douchebag" level in your personal interactions, rather than continuing to embarrass yourself in such a broad and public manner.

[Ashvegian]

@pyro4002 Yes, you can be honest... and while you have entered a conversation which didn't involve you at all, some may think that you are a bit of a "busy-body", some may even go as far as calling you a faggot American (who most people in the world hate....) but of course I wouldn't think that about you mate... you're alright in my book, you're not a loser who spends his trying to argue on youtube coz he has no friends..... no, if I was a betting man, I'd think you're a real winner. lol

[Ashvegian]

@pyro4002 and yes, I am your "friend" Mr Pyro4002 (or should I be calling you by your other account name "TheSchoolsux345"?), anyway, whatever your name is, you can add me to your tally of friends.....you seem to have only amassed a total of 1 friend since 2006.... I guess it's not because you are a complete cock (who no one likes), it's more likely a case of you being shy or...mentally retarded Well, nice talking to you pyro4002 (cool name lol) catch you later buddy :)

[pyro4002]

@Ashvegian oh shit, youtube has friends?? omg i've gotta find some youtube friends and watch videos with them like all the time!

you like to bring up this "the world doesn't like americans" thing a lot, don't you? do you think any of us actually give a shit when you say that? i could give two shits about what country you're from in all seriousness. it's really not relevant to anything that concerns you as an individual, unless you happen to be mr.prime minister ashvegian.

[Ashvegian]

@pyro4002 Personally I like Americans, however, unfortunately most of the world doesn't share the same sentiments as me (if you didn't know that, then I suggest you actually go outside America and see what the general concensus is). As for you, well it's clear that you're a pathetic little worm who hides behind multiple youtube identities because you're unable to win an argument against me (due to lack of intelligence)..- poor you, it must be horrible to wake up each day, knowing you're a loser.

[MamaLuigii]

@Ashvegian As an American, I have to agree with you. It's disgusting how many people are so arrogant and rude...I really love the country and the people as a whole, but damn. I can totally see why most other people hate us.

[TheMoek1]

@Ashvegian doesnt matter if you, or anyone else for that matter, like us or not. Well still bomb the shit out of your bitch ass.

[Ashvegian]

@TheMoek1 Yes...you definitely could... and so can can almost anyone, because our New Zealand soldiers are lightly equipped for "peacekeeping" and have disbanded our fighter squadrons. But to think of my country's power and capabilities as being weak, well you would be mistaken. It was a New Zealander (Sir Ernest Rutherford), not an American who discovered the secrets of the Atom (therefore allowing further discoveries and developments in nuclear physics (e.g. Nuclear power, Nuclear bombs).

[Ashvegian]

@TheMoek1 So I would like to see your "bitch asses" try to win World War II against the Japanese without incuring major losses, or to dominate the global system during the Cold War without our superior knowledge and expertise... also note: disproportionate numbers of NZ scientists actually held the highest positions in your nuclear program (Manhatten Project). So... yes, you guys may be able to bomb us, but why would you want to anyway, New Zelaand is one of your best friends, you faggot?

[fruitypeebils]

@Ashvegian woah woah woah... how the hell did this start...?

[pyro4002]

@Ashvegian and i know that in your view of the world, you could be prime minister on a platform based on anti-American sentiment, but in the real world there's not that as many people like you as you'd like to think.

and i gotta say, you've gone after my name and school's name while your name is "ashvegian?" if it wasn't clear to me that you're so swept away in blissful ignorance, i would think you were kidding. if you're looking to change it, might i recommend something about hating Americans?

[Ashvegian]

@pyro4002 Peace "Pyro" lick my ass. lol

[zeland3]

Wow. What jackasses. Johnny: 5:57 "look after each other you two". Johnny is god.

[Mimiru667]

2:06 to 2:12 Jonny's obviously taking the piss, it's brilliant :)

[JonnyCashmore]

All DJ's sound like retarded Americans. It's simply the way DJ's are forced to be in North America. No one knows why.......I wonder how stupid these guys feel now that Radioheads "weirdness" has made them one of the most successful bands in the world. These guys probably love Nickelback.

[BenMGFletcher]

Is that Jim Carrey???

[coasterman16]

I just color in the pictures, really.

[DeepDishPeteza]

Everybody is talking about these American DJ's. You all realize these guys are Canadian right? Unless American DJ's talk about "here in Ottawa" often.

[CaptainPengu]

@DeepDishPeteza

;_;

i'm embarrassed to be Canadian because of this interview.

..and Justin Bieber.

[hueondemierda]

@CaptainPengu canada rules

i want to live in canada

you should be proud of scott pilgrim :D

[Spizike237]

@CaptainPengu And Bryan Adams.

[AwesomeCoasters]

@CaptainPengu

James Cameron makes up for it :)

[MsCalmbeforethestorm]

No offence to you all, but American's are like Dogs, English people are like Cats. You either take us or leave us. Jonny tore those interviewers to shreds, and they diddn't even realize it!! hahaha. I was laughing at how hopeless they sounded. And yes weird does spring to mind when I think of Radiohead. But weird is amazing!! Oh... and Mr Greenwood, if you are reading this... when you think of Radio, does head not spring to mind?

[chawan92]

@MsCalmbeforethestorm dogs > cats

diversity > critisizism of any kind

america > england (see history txtbook pg. 1776)

[MsCalmbeforethestorm]

@chawan92 Someone's getting sarky!! Not getting into a political war with you, but at least we didn't mess up the gulf of mexico!

Diversity is better than criticism, but if there is going to be diversity, there will always be criticism,

and Cats are way better than dogs. My best friend is allergic to dogs. So HA! and have a nice day. :)

[MsCalmbeforethestorm]

No offence to Americans, But Americans are like Dogs. British people are like cats. You either love us or hate us. Jonny was amazing :o He tore them apart and they diddn't realize it!! I laughed at how bad they are :) And yes I think Radiohead are kind of weird but in the most amazing way! weird is brilliant

[onthe165]

I like that the word "funny" is in quotations. Because its NOT FUCKING FUNNY!!!

American DJs should all be shot in the fucking face!!

[katenzcool]

I can fall asleep peacefully after listening to Jonny's voice

[rudey6933]

what a pair of cunt flaps

[gisforgillett]

woo he picked kid a!

[Gomba13]

I don't care how lightheaded the interviewers are. Had they not been as retarded, we never would have heard such a fun interview with Jonny. I'm glad to know he has a dog that looks like it's been kicked in the face, that he finds football boring and that he has a cable. You never learn tidbits like that in so-called serious interviews.

[PrawnSticks]

I can't even put into words how much I want to punch those interviewers.

[DanielStratocaster]

fuckin' fags.

[robinheil]

"I have A cable" HAHAHAHA!!!!!

[zectofrazer]

@robinheil I was laughing so hard.

[SuperGibsonguy]

Omg... fags... Jonny Greenwood tore them apart without even realising it :D

[MrSkeff]

poor louis :)

[SkateTS808]

kinda of strange? What the fuck assholes your interviewing skills are strange

[reusablecatmilk]

It's too bad he didn't just hang up

[SoSayGoodbye1]

would you like to play?

um if you like... hahaha

[defpoet28]

The DJ's are absolute twats.

[brw0044]

fire those morons

[101commentary]

This is amazing. But screw the interviewers
