I'd love to see this bit again, but with Jimmy completely quiet
you can watch his 2016 special on Netflix, Standup for drummers
Good luck, jimmy is horrible!!!!
Or better, without Jimmy
I have fully evolved! Hallelujah!
OMG, yes! Jimmy is so talented and yet so fu*king irritating at the same time! JIMMY, STOP FAKE LAUGHING!! It’s stomach turning.
Jimmy was probably the kid who wanted to blow the candles of every birthday cake even if it wasn't his.
So true 🤣
The kid who had all the best toys and would invite you over just to show you he head them all but wouldn't share any
This comment is so accurate!
Yes! Oh my god! He seems like he was that kid! Plus the kid in the comment above, showing off his birthday presents. 🙄
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄👍
I feel like I’m actually watching Fred Armisen attempting to finally expose Jimmy Fallon for never having ever listened to music.
I wish someone would tell Jimmy that he doesn't have to pretend to laugh with over the top fake laughter.
Fred: 😲🎶
Jimmy: 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
He really doesn’t know any of the songs though lol
Because those aren't lyrics to real songs. Fred is parodying the lyrical styles of those bands. Jimmy is just repeating the joke a few times in case it might get funnier with repetition. It doesn't.
He didn’t do grunge Emo pop punk those other punk genres
Armisen doing punk impressions while Fallon does a spot on Michael Scott impression
Lmao
underrated comment
Rofl....ur a genius
under rated comment. nailed it.
Basically 😂
Just let Fred do the bit, Jimmy.
I feel like jimmy is the kid that’s desperate to fit in with the cool talented kids. 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you for saying what we all feel
@@yazminasporrong8880 I agree with the fact that he does always butt in to get in on the attention, but it's a bit of a stretch to say he's untalented... he can sing in any voice, play guitar, dance, sometimes do funny bits, do impressions... you think he does all that with what? Luck?
Yes, watching someone else enjoy and participate in something fun is just infuriating. People should just sit quietly and not join in things that are fun. I really enjoy watching people not engage.
@@kuzzbillington6392 I never said he was UNtalented. In my insignificant opinion, he tries too hard to be seen as better than he is, and I don’t mean it in a mean way, he wants to impress, and to me it just *comes off* as fake. That’s what I think. 🤷🏼♀️ I’m sure he’s lovely and he’s funny at times , but his “image” shall we say annoys me. Maybe not the right word but I can’t think of a better one. Just reminds me a lot of an old friend of mine.
Fred's teaching a seminar on punk history, Jimmy is running a workshop highlighting why you should get out of someone else's way.
Omg thank you! I was thinking the same thing about Jimmy. Jimmy does great impressions of singers but it’s not his joke and he needs to take a back seat here
@@michaelberger7526 No he’s not, that’s part of Fred’s shtick. They try and talk at the same time, they did it the whole interview, especially with the punk music bit. Go back years and they do the same thing every time, even on other shows he does it. He had a reoccurring SNL skit with Kristen Wiig where they would try and sing songs at the same time in that exact way.
@@jaredf6205 Ahhh yes, come to think of it, I do remember this! You right you right. This is the intricacy of Fred's comedy that I don't find as funny. Just a subjective opinion. I watched his special that included drums and didn't like it that much. Just wasn't for me. But I thought this was really cool and creative and if Fred didn't include that talking over here and dove in with some actual more polished lyrics, it would have been funnier. Like, do a spoof on the dumb lyrics in punk too. Like the part where he talks about the parents in the ska song was funny. Lean into that more. But I'm not a professional comedian, these are only subjective opinions of what I find funny.
“Seminar”?! Get a life
This is called hosting a guest and interacting. There is nothing wrong with this.
In a world full of Fallons, strive to be an Armisen.
This is THE BEST COMMENT! Love it!
A renowned creep who multiple women have spoken out about? Ok then
yeah will that's false rumers. @@oldboygamer9985
@@oldboygamer9985who are these multiple women? As far as I’m aware he had a fairly acrimonious divorce with his ex-wife (most divorces aren’t friendly) but other than that I haven’t heard anything?
@@liamsmith8177 his ex wife, another ex wrote an article titled “portrait of a sociopath” or something like that about it. He’s gone on record saying he wasn’t ashamed of his infidelity and said it was something that just happened, then tried to play victim by blaming it on sex addiction.
Having Jimmy Fallon there is like having your drunk uncle attempt to recreate Fred Armisen's excellent bit and draining all the fun out of it.
Exactly !
An insult to drunk uncles everywhere.
Thank goodness Jimmy was there to repeat Fred's jokes so we would know where they were.
Jimmy wants to be a guitar
Don’t go to the ambulance
🤡🤡🤡 honestly wth is he doing it’s so unnecessary
He’s annoying
Talent.
Jimmy Fallon: If he wasn't the host, security would remove him from the show.
So true 😂
right??
I don't like him. He is so forced, unnatural. In this clip, why does he think he had to participate instead of letting the guest do his scene? He's so silly without grace...
@@danielfernandes2568 that’s all part of Fred’s shtick. They try and talk at the same time, they did it the whole interview, especially with this punk music bit.

@@jaredf6205 I don't like his way. I don't like the way he laughs when the guest os playing, it's so forced. Overall, he's always flattering (I'm portuguese, don't know if this is the right word) guests for everything and always saying how cool everything they tell is...
I want to see Fred do this bit on another show so I can enjoy it
Yep ! Jimmy's over the top fake laughter needs to stop immediately.
Just give Fred his own show. Boom: problem solved. I cannot stand Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon, never understood how someone thought "hey, these guys deserve their own late night show!"
@@nickhartman6372 The Dem's decided that.
Yeah maybe just not do anything on a late night show
@nickhartman6372 Jimmy is talented but NOT as a talk show host. He doesn't have the right personality for it. He has to try too hard because he's bad at it which makes it unbearable 😂 I do like Jimmy when he sticks to his strengths- sketch comedy, impersonations, etc.
At first I ashamed of myself, finding myself watching a Jimmy Fallon video. But then I saw the comments, made my day a little brighter knowing everyone else feels this way.
This bit perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with Fallon's late night persona
that’s all part of Fred’s shtick. They try and talk at the same time, they did it the whole interview, especially with this punk music bit. Go back years and they do the same thing every time, even on other shows he does it. He had a reoccurring SNL skit with Kristen Wiig where they would try and sing songs at the same time in that exact way.
Oh god I remember that SNL skit with Wiig being pretty popular at the time and I couldn't get it for the life of me, just wildly cringe
Jimmy is trying to be funny but doesn’t know how to make up his own jokes💀
yeah. He is such a kiss ass. He's still a likable person somehow, but yeah its grating.
Nowhere near as bad as Leno however. Jesus Christ i fucking hate Leno.
This is horrible
Could you imagine how watchable the Tonight Show would be if Jimmy Fallon’s mic was muted during interviews?
Ball gag him.
It’d be like Sex Pistols having Sid’s bass amp unplugged the whole time cuz of how shit he was: a lot better
I wonder if his staff keeps him from reading these very accurate comments on youtube ? I just wish someone would tell Mr. Fallon that he does not have to pretend to laugh. His over exaggerated laughter takes away from his guests performances.
Oh yeah I remember that vid where Chuck Berry and John Lennon are playing and some hero cuts of Yoko's mic.
Man, there was a lot of talent on the screen, and it all was sitting on the couch.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how this guy came up with lyrics to match each of the genres and they worked perfectly?
And then we didn't get to hear half of them because Jimmy Fallon had to start mumble-singing along, forcing Fred Armisen to mumble with him.
meh no
Fred's bit is delicate, esoteric, respects & trusts the audience's intelligence, doesn't instruct them how to feel or react, elegant, risky, and assured. It's everything Jimmy Fallon and his Tonight Show are not. This was like watching Fred good-naturedly try to light a birthday candle at the bottom of a swimming pool.
I wonder if Jimmy's Staff somehow keeps him away from reading the comments on CZcams ? It's as if he is totally oblivious to how annoying his fake laughter is and how he just cannot let his guests have the spotlight. He's a great comedic actor but an absolutely horrible talk show host !
Very punk image at the end there haha
Armisen is a genius. And yes, I agree with everything you said. I love the swimming pool analogy! Lol.
Candlelight
@@PLNKYELLOWBLACK As a SY fan this hits hard lol
I'd love to see this... but on Conan. Conan not only wouldn't talk through it, but he'd also do back up guitar where needed.
Yes!
right! taking the bit seriously
Conan talks over his guests a lot
@@sirmount2636 Only in his younger days when he was following the normal late night formula. But since Jibber Jabber like 10 years ago, he stopped that. Or if the guest is super boring or saying things that are super inappropriate that would get the guest in trouble. Conan is one of the more insightful hosts.
Conan failed. His fanbase abandoned him when he needed them most.
I've never seen so much love for one man, while simultaneously so much hate for another. But it's spot on!!
Jimmy F. should have never been allowed to host the tonight show. He's a talented comedic actor but a horrible host.
@@ZiplineShazam i also feel like he's high as a kite
@@somethingcreativeprobably5160he has trace amounts of blood in his cocaine system here
This, especially with Jimmy’s laughter, gives major “3 am drunk and tired at some guys party in the basement and you’re one of the 7 people still awake.” Vibes.
Yeah a very lets keep on listening to this guy and talk to him because he shares his bag with me type of vibe
Could someone please tell Jimmy to stop with the Over the Top Fake Laughter ?!
I thought I was going to leave early. It surprised me when the video ended.
Misleading Title: The Tonight Show Starring Fred Armisen, interrupted by Jimmy Fallon
I know, it would've been better if Jimmy wasn't even there.
i mean now that you say it, i do kind of agree. i just think he likes to have fun and engage with his guest.
He can’t help but throw something in, even when a guest is telling a story, he always just makes a noise followed by the little fake sounding laugh 😂
Dear Love Thieves, how pitiful you don't have an attention span. Hard to focus when two people are talking, huh? That's pathetic.
@@foul-mouthfarrah1158 there's a difference with "interrupting", "replying", and "waiting for the other person to stop talking". Jimmy doesn't know the differences. He's like a parrot inside of a jolly chimp and instead using cymbals, he just claps for no reason.
Jimmy’s brutally forced, fake laugh is stronger than ever.
Actually, Jimmy really enjoys this stuff. His laughter isn’t forced, people just find it cringe
He sux.
What's ironic is Fallon probably is genuinely laughing but he's always forced laughs that it's hard to tell the difference.
@@themusicaljunkie37 Huh?
@@themusicaljunkie37 I hate his laugh it’s so forced
Someone give Fred Jimmy’s job.
YES !!!!!!
Jimmy is like the one dude at the party that still needs to be the center of attention when someone besides him is funny. So hamfisted here
YEP !!!
If only Jimmy were funny
Jimmy is the guy who had Trump on and treated him like his buddy. SMH
Jimmy's brain before every show:
"But how do I get this to be about me?"
Exactly !!
ice cold but truthful
He’s a try hard, wants everyone to like him

Fred is so talented, you can tell he’s spent thousands of albums refining his taste and really soaking in what he loves. Proud to have lived in Hattiesburg where he’s from, he’s a legend around there honestly!
Jimmy just loves the sound of his own voice
Yep !! Jimmy is a talented comedic actor but a horrible talkshow host
@@ZiplineShazamtalented? Since when?
Let Fred do the bit. Fred doesn’t need you constantly interrupting to “help” him do the bit.
Aw. Just hush. They are friends. 🌸
Totally agree he also sang over Oscar Isaac
@@Lisa-pb3qp Fallon must be friends with all his guests, then. It's one of the annoying things he consistently does that makes his show unwatchable. "Hey Jimmy! STFU! We're trying to do comedy over here! Breaking character stopped being funny over a decade ago!"
Felt the same way, Jimmy's great but he really struggles to just allow his guests to just do their thing. He's not the best host in that aspect.
@@theweaselguy He's not the best host in any way.
I never knew Fred armisen was so musically talented. He was such a pro that he didn’t let Jimmy throw him off
He was the drummer in a fairly successful band in the '90s. Can't remember the name. He's often incorporated music into his comedy.
@@JohnMoseley he was in the band Trenchmouth
@@acidchurch7619 Thanks.
@@JohnMoseleyles savy fav
He was a singer of the famous band Crisis of Conformity! He had Dave Grohl on drums, Bill Hader on bass, and Ashton Kutcher on guitar.
Legend says Jimmy Fallon still hums these songs and giggles from time to time until this day.
but only if he thinks the audience is watching
boulevard with a flower....heh heh
It's incredible how Fred can resume the soul of a band or a style of music in one improvised lyric
Yeah, he summed up every phase of punk with one sentence
I was surprised that he left a couple crucial phases out.
That's how punk I am
Fallon is the single most insincere, insipid host in the history of late night. Armisen is a goddam GENIUS! That Reed impression was KILLER!
Never thought I'd ever see a michog as obnoxious as Yoko Ono ever again.
"insipid" is exactly the word
@@kishascape Yoko Ono > The Beatles and you know it
His Sonic Youth impersonation was the most accurate
He's up there with James Corden.
Fred Armisen is one of my most favorite people on Earth. I don't think his comedic intelligence receives enough recognition.
I fully agree with this comment man.
He's definitely underrated.
And his knowledge and passion for music. He combines both so brilliantly.
I especially appreciate what his ex has stated about him. Not a shocker. Armisen is not only NOT funny. He's a creep.
@@omegavague9042 Whatever personal flaws he may or may not have, he is definetly funny.
Fred needs his own late night show. Would watch it every night
And some studio exec would make Jimmy his cohost to ruin all of his bits.
love that jimmy just copies everything fred is doing… super great conversation
Fred Armisen’s dedication to the punk sub genre is very impressive
@ghost mall it’s one of the first sub genres of rock
Impressed by how Jimmy knows every song also
@@Viper-dz2kwpunk is not a sub genre
@@Boraxizyumit’s a derivative of rock, in other words a sub genre
@@LOLLYPOPPE they are fake, they aren't songs just parodies
Jimmy wanted to be a part of this bit SO BAD
But he is not smart enough to invent those lyrics on the spot, he just can't
He sadly thinks he's on Fred's level
Fred Armisen turns to gold anything he touches. What a treasure of a man!
Why does Fallon laugh hysterically when fred just plays the guitar
How can Fallon have been a high profile entertainer for so long and still step all over someone's bit like this? It's INSANE.
yeah…. sad lol
Jimmy is a great comedic actor. . . but an absolutely horrible talk show host !!! The Fake Laughter really needs to stop
I'm guessing he's just really good at shining corporate ass with his over-the-top fake laughs and falling over himself trying to make people like him. Biggest downside to having been raised Irish-catholic. It's brutal.
@@adctd2gtr Excellent Observation. . . Spot on !
seeing fred do a sleater kinney impression is everything ive ever wanted
czcams.com/video/-s1YcLm5Wco/video.html
I saw him at a few SK shows on their NCTL tour! He’s a legit fan and it’s very cool. :)
sad that nobody picked up on fred's connection to sleater-kinney... especially the portlandia fans in the audience, if there were any.
@@joeyclemenza7339 love converge
Yeah, Carrie!

It's good to hear a man talk about something he truly knows everything about.
Everything about? Whadya mean?

@@5ammy13 czcams.com/video/AxR25hZI4sI/video.html
Can we just stop and appreciate what a badass musician Fred is?? Holy s*** that guy can play anything. One of the most underappreciated actors and comedians of our time.
i say this as a huge fred armisen fan but this is not exactly allan holdsworth
Yeah, what the other guy said. Armisen is awesome but this wasn't Eric Clapton playing or something. Still an smart bit, though.
He played drums on one of my favorite songs. Trenchmouth - "Hitmen Will Suffocate the City"
It's crazy accurate too, and jimmy seemingly has no idea lol
He’s pretty loved and appreciated. Especially in this comment section.
This was such a joy, but way too short. I really hope Fred will do a longer version sometime soon. So many other guitar styles he could take on within punk and alt-music. Like, just at the start, he could have included The Stooges, the MC5 and maybe even Beefheart.
and the pixies!
@@soodumooduYup!
He did! On SNL!!
@@einzelganger6664 Really? Can't believe I've never seen it.
@@JohnMoseley Yup! Just search "SNL History of Punk" and it'll be the first result
Fallon really does everything possible to make it difficult for Fred to keep the momentum of the bit going.
Remember that part where Fred asked Jimmy to interrupt and piggyback off of his bit? Me either.
Sorry to be that guy, but it's neither, not either.
@@bikquerel2982 You're not wrong, but "me either" is a common US colloquialism, while "me neither" is more common in the UK. But, yes, to be 100% grammatically correct, it's "me neither," regardless of colloquialisms. 👍
@@jw5870 Really? I didn't know that, "me either" is terrible, it hurts my nears.
@@axelbauron155 Then it's a good thing I only typed it. ;)
@@jw5870 Well, I see. Language is man-made afterall. If a majority is using that, then it's fine I guess.
I don't see enough of Fred Armisen, he should have his own show. I would definitely watch it all the time. All who agree, say so.
Portlandia and Documentary Now is his stuff basically. Fun shows.
I would love that
so
@Phi Hong do NOT put your stupid video on my comment.
@Phi Hong get a life mr. hong
Id buy the album that Fred releases these as full songs!
He has an album with bill hader doesn’t he
Your mom and dad were the best you ever had 😂😂😂😂
gotta love QuestLove not missing a fucking beat and getting in on the last song 🔥
Fallon - literally ANYTHING-
"I LOVE THAT"
"Oh yeah, I remember that!"
He is so freaking talented and funny as hell. These are spot on, by the way.
This is really quite good, and a lot of it was really obvious from Ramones to Crass. Dude really knows his shit and is super talented.
Fred owns again with his ACCURATE impressions of niche musical topics. His observations (here and in his DRUMMER special) are spot-on.
Yeah nothing's more niche than punk 😒
I was about to claim the exact opposite. I was excited to see this video but he missed dozens of famous styles, particularly in the 70s and 80s. Obviously, he was to think about time, but even the styles he played weren't great representations of the actual styles.
Eek, I thought his drummer special was positively awful.
@@RockOn78 It was pretty forgettable in my opinion. The bit he did on the Tonight Show about the life of a drummer just being screwing and unscrewing the nut on your hi-hat was pretty funny though.
Nope.
Oh my god Jimmy did not just try to sing with him bro have you seen anyone else do that when he does this bit? That’s like insane to hear someone doing a funny cool bit and your instinct is like “oh you know what would make that even better? A bit of me in it” like I would be mortified by that
Singing along to a song you barely know the words to is bad enough, trying to "sing along" to a song that doesn't have words is embarrassing.
The idea probably came about in rehearsal
His Sonic Youth is brilliant. I want to hear the rest of the Candlelight On A Booth - sounds like a missing track from Goo.
Fallon is a very expensive canned laughter track
Exactly !!!
Fred Armisen just may be one of the most talented people to ever come out of SNL.
Norm must be the one on the top of that list
@@supernautzero I heard he’s going to host this summer.
Jesus jimmy, let him do his bit without stepping all over him.
I see you're not a punk connoisseur. That's about the most appropriate thing you could do
Plus he's uhhh always drunk
I can't count the number of musical bits/performances that could have been classic without Jimmy insisting on being part of it.
Why and how did Jimmy get this gig
Thank god Jimmy is there to find everything hilarious.
Jesus Christ, Jimmy Fallon is unbearable. How anybody can watch this guy for more than 5 minutes without losing it is beyond me.
Really fucking it up strongly more and more. The same here
His agent prolly can sell anything
You technically watched him for more than 5 minutes
@@susiemartinez8983 Well, I almost lost it.
He's very childish and annoying.
Jimmy Fallon is what happens when you roll a 3 for Charisma but the DM tells you that there's still no way you're getting out of being a talk show host.
I wonder if people on his staff somehow keep Jimmy from reading all of these incredibly accurate comments on CZcams ? I just don't understand how no one has maybe even hinted to him how annoying his fake laughter is and that maybe he should just simply try and listen
I met Fred in Valparaiso Indiana when he and band Trench Mouth came to our tiny little punk rock scene and and blew it TF up!!! Great guy, he hung out after the show and kicked it with all us little punk rock kids!!
I keep coming back to this! Anyone else who plays or dabbles in rhythm guitar watch this over and over and actually kind of learn something?
Jimmy trying to chime in and not being on the same rhythm or wavelength was driving me nuts. Its ok if someone else is getting attention Jimmy. Sit back for 2 seconds, shit.
I couldn't watch the whole thing.
@@johnacton2312 I didn't understand people not liking him at first. But I get it. I know he's a host but his "hospitality" seems so forced. It's honestly like he can't stand when his guests get more attention.
Yep, pretty much.
Yeah, I wanted to see if Fred would continue the hilarious lyrics but Jimmy seemed to trip him up with the interjecting.
@@johnacton2312 Same. I love Armisen but I couldn't sit through this with Fallon constantly butting in. I thought I was used to Fallon being insufferable but this is on another level.

"goin down the boulevard with a flower" made me fucking DIE
Jimmy's exaggerated laughing has been well covered, but you can tell he was genuinely tickled by that one. He got Quest with that, too!
perfect Lou Reed
@@mistabook I disagree. I think he realized that his fake laughing was more obvious than usual, so tried to sell it by bringing up the flower blvd comment a second time. Just so painful to watch.
He knows his punk history.I've been listening to punk since 1980...can confirm he's spot on.
....can confirm punk didn't span over three decades.
Not real punk anyway
That Sleater observation lands too close to the tree!! 🤣🤣🤣 I could watch Fred do his thing for hours.
I feel like this will go unappreciated by a lot of people, but this was hilarious to me. Sounded just like so many bands I've liked.
Totally skipping over : bad brains , minor threat , black flag etc 😛.
It was even more hilarious to me. I am better than you in knowing what he was referencing. I win.
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."
"Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"

@@dannystarkridesfixed Was waiting for black flag the whole time!
Agree. But I wouldn't say hilarious. Perhaps it is more simple than a joke. it's a reminissence that makes your memory triger a smile from your heart. Does this makes sense to you?
Being a music junkie myself I could listen to Fred talking about music for hours
Fred's observation skills are so good they kind of make up for his awful timing
Fred is absolutely one of the most talented SNL performers ever. He just doesn’t make a big deal out of it.
How could anyone stand to be in a room with Jimmy Fallon for more than five seconds without wanting to smash his head into a wall?
I’m done : His Lou Reed song ( Dirty Boulevard and Vicious lyrics combined 😂)
Great job with The Ramones & Sonic Youth 👍👍👍
For me it was him impersonating his buddy Carrie. I think when most people think of Sleater-Kinney the first voice they think of is gonna be Corin Tucker, but he's probably had a Carrie Brownstein impression in the chamber for years now. So good.
@@mistabook were getting deep into our analysis love it haha . He needs to come back on and do “ Catalina Breeze ! “ 😂😂😂
The Sonic Youth part was awesome!! Well, they all were.. he nailed all of them
I would buy a whole album of Fred Armisen doing punk throughout the decades. Definitely could see Goldfinger and Rancid among others in his themes.
This doesn't have anything to do with anything, really, but I first found out about Rancid from their song that was on the "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" soundtrack. I think it was called "I wanna riot!" or something like that, lol.
Damn I hated rancid so much when they started since I was an operation ivy fan. They were playing with one of my favorite bands of that time, avail, so I went and they weren’t bad. I ran into them while they were getting stuff out of their van (yes van, they were still very small back then) and told them I caught their show a few weeks ago with avail, they apologized for show shitty they sounded during the show and gave me a tape and shirt, I thought that was pretty cool of them. Rancid, let’s go, and some of out come the wolves were good but they started to really go downhill after that unfortunately.
I was reminded of Social D when he mentioned country music getting into the mix in the early 80s.
@@MIKERUPTION yup, that's exactly who came to mind on the country reference.
Goldfinger is trash lol
Most punk thing would be to mute Fallon's mic like they muted Sid Vicious's bass
Turn to the audience: "ever felt like you've been created?"
And walk off the stage.
That Love Will Tear Us Apart was SOOO recognizable.
Fred’s SNL Wedding Party skit with the punk band is one of my all time favorites
+1
FIST FIGHT! FIST FIGHT!
I love his obscure impressions
Obscure impressions of mainstream musicians?
Nailed it 😂 My teenage life flashed before my eyes in one CZcams clip
god that band is so good picked that drum beat up on the 1 and then the next phrase came in with a full track
Fred: *improvising and making up random lyrics*
Jimmy: oh yeah, I remember that!!
🙄
Cannot handle Jimmy stepping on this amazing bit
I was obsessed with Lou Reed when I was a teenager in the 90s. Miss those days. Oh and the 90s punk ska time! Its hard not being consumed at that age
Fred is clearly deeply into indie music and probably has a killer record collection. Pearls before swine!
Jimmy seriously doesn't need to sing along. 😐 Let Fred do his thing.
Right
I mean I love Jimmy but come onnn
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Fred had some really fun lyrics but was threw off with Jimmy's chiming in.
3:10 the way he said "candlelight, on a boot" killed me
i landed here because I was actively searching for a video explaining the evolution of punk and all the different terms (new wave, post punk, etc). This bit is actually super helpful. thanks fred lol
The sentiment behind the applause breaks are the reason I don't go to main stream concerts anymore.
I never got the dislike for Jimmy.
Now I do.
(That being said he seems like he's probably still a nice guy, just tries to hard to be funny when he doesn't need to be.)
I can't stand him. He's disingenuous.
Was thinking the same.
Dude just try to enjoy and appreciate the genius in front of you. If you have the need to laugh, laugh. If you just want to ask sth, ask. No one will judge if you dont always laugh! He aaalways has to say sth or add sth, its getting disturbingly annoying.
I would love for him to just STFU once in awhile, constantly interrupts and can’t just let his guest shine. Like an awkward 6th grader.
he has nothing to add to the bit and is just getting in the way.
it's REALLY pronounced here...I couldn't finish the clip because of it.
That Velvet Underground impression was perfect! Lou would be proud.
Man, I don’t even know how many times I watched this. Haha
Do you know how greatly talented someone has to be to be able to do all that and make it funny! He's one of the SNL greats imo
Fred has always been so cool to me. It’s hard to explain but he gives me the same happiness that Robin Williams was able to give. ☺️
