I had expected to enjoy this- as I expect to enjoy anything involving Neil Gaiman- but I had not expected the tears. Mirthful, mirthful tears. The boy named boy story read in that voice absolutely left me in stitches.
"Besides, the name wolf was already taken..." (incredibly long pause) "...by the tree."
...that *has* to be the same David Malki of 'Wondermark' fame.
His delivery is impeccable!
"um... Ragnarok" - *laughs for about seventy years*
i actually don't get this part D:
Jillian Boyd oh please figure it out. You will have to do some reading but the laugh will be worth it. No one can ever explain it to you with just words.
Qianpin Lin I meant my reply to Jillian for you.
Same, those last two stories made my literally lol for the longest time xd
@@claralin8835 it's Pratchett, actually. i think. Teatime of the gods = Twilight of the gods = Götterdämmerung (this one is wagner) = Ragnarök. just translation :)
His reading of them makes them sooooo much better!!!
YES
tbf, he made a description of a old womans day in which nothing at all of interest happened sound interesting
I think the last one almost reads like a Bad Terry Pratchett.
"(...)
by the tree."
By far the best moment!
That pause made it!
I actually kinda liked the one about the boring guy with the briefcase of boring papers.
sanityisrelative read Neverwhere by Neil then, that's what it was aping.
me too!
It may be Bad Gaiman, yet from his lips, everything sounds magical!
Many of them are excellent parodies of the atmospheric lyric mythology nature of Neil Gaiman stories.
"The boy's name was boy..." perfect
I couldn't breathe from laughing that I legit got scared--while laughing--that I would die from not breathing. I paused, took a deep breath, and continued laughing for eighty-five years.
Bad Neil Gaiman stories read by Neil Gaiman = Possibly good Neil Gaiman stories!
"...and the moon".
Love this so much. Not sure which is my favorite. Either the not-Neverwhere one with Brunhilde, or the Boy who's not named Wolf.
It hurts to be so thoroughly seen, doesn’t it Neil? 😂😂😂 know that we love you
"David Malki from California" who wrote the one Gaiman said was his favorite, may be David Malki ! who does the webcomic Wondermark. The exclamation point is part of his name, which he says is an honorific like Jr. or PhD. but is not pronounced.

I want to see Neil Gaiman played by Alan Rickman
Too late.
I want to see him being cast as Alan Rickman if a film about Alan's life ends up being made.
Gideon Hodges'shmong
Hmong
oh
oof
Actually, I want to see Alan Rickman played by Neil Gaiman.
Man, I've written quite a few Gaiman-pastiches in the past few years, and I used to think they were Poor Man's Neil...until now.
Oddly. Neil reading them made the stories better
Those were really Gaiman-like. I wan't more.
OH MY GOD NEIL GAIMAN IS WEARING A COLOUR OTHER THAN BLACK
Ragnarok has arrived. We're all doomed XD
That's the one thing I first noticed before the video title!
This is so good. Now we know where the candidates for the 2016 US Presidential Elections get their speech and debate scripts from.
Never get tired of this!
Neil reading anything, no matter how horrible is excellent. 😂😂😂
The host is hilarious. What a great idea for a segment!
" . . . by the tree."
As bad as these are, they are still delightful when Neil reads them.
Nope! That one killed me. lol
I feel bad, I really want to read more of those XD
He's not just a masterful writer, he's also a brilliant reader!
Hey look, it's Alan Rickman and Paul Giamatti.
"......Nope"
It has everything I want and less.
Way to represent Minnesota!
Neil Gaiman= Cool Guy
These are beautiful!
the problem is, though, the problem is that everything, everysinglething sounds good, just fine, really great, whenever he's reading it, so nothing it's actually bad
I wish there was more, this is hilarious!
these were actually pretty good xD
Like a hall of mirrors, but funnier. Spectacular.
This is amazing!
Oh goodness that was fantastic :)
Damn! So much better than my bad Gaiman. Some of it terribly close to 'ok Gaiman'......which is, of course....bad Gaiman.
Beautiful
Sounds like Professor Snape
Him reading these bas stories make them really good 😂
I liked one of the stories
4:38 So funny haha
weird to see him not in someone's falafel
HIS VOICE
This has entirely too few likes.
Nope!
Nope.
Is it bad or is it satire?
'brilliant writer'? What for the six people who still read books? lmao
Are you actually being serious?
Don't ever breed.
WTF dude
