I love how you can just see Linnel's inner voice going, over & over again "Think of the exposure...just think of the exposure...get it done, & get the exposure..."
HAH
Lol! Yeah, I never thought I’d see linnell’s tv presenter vibe, nor how off kilter it is
"must not show my disdain for having to say 'Mtv Beach House'!"
Heh -- 69 upvotes...s-e-x-x-y...
@@reuterx2327 Lol, that was probably me. You're welcome!
John Linnell introducing Radiohead's performance at the MTV Beach house was more than I was prepared to comprehend.
Yeah my brain actually exploded when he said that
ANYWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE😊
🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Linnell, when he's reading the autocue, has the look of an inexperienced driver approaching a tricky intersection with just one good eye and diagonal hail coming at him from all directions. Truly a natural.
This is a fucking hilarious and super accurate description
hi i'm john flansburg *bap bap* of they might be giants *wahahahahaooo*
4:15 is fucking hilarious. John goes from awkward speed reading to debonair radio host in a flash. It's like he thought "well fuck if I'm gonna be awkward Ill do it on my own terms"
With the paper cup in his hand, it comes across like an advert showing the magical benefits of instant coffee.
“Can you tell I’m reading” lol
I am no longer alive after witnessing Linnell mention Radiohead's MTV Beach House incident
How can it be that the one time Linnell has to find the camera, he struggles and squirms and can't do it - yet any time every other musician would not look for the camera, he finds it?
Ah yes, the 1993 version of Why Does the Sun Shine, that’ll win over the 120 Minutes crowd
"Radiohead at the MTV Beach House" is one of the best phrases in the English language.
Linnell squinting trying to find the camera is the cutest thing ever.
The Linnell stare is strong with this one 😍
I love this so much! This has so much good music on this show. I love how awkward Linnell is he is trying read so hard and not make it obvious.
It always blows my mind that the episode hosted by They Might Be Giants is the same one with the Radiohead fucking Beach House
I love the preview of No One Knows My Plan at 11:06.
“Can you tell I’m reading”
Linnel needs a radio show on some smooth jazz station.
Oh my gosh this is too good. So perfectly awkward. The super calm and sweet performance of Why Does the Sun Shine was the icing on the cake 😭
linnell straight up powered off at the end I LOVE HIM i mean what
This is the kind of shit i would have watched growing up and i am very sad i didn't. But i am very glad i did now. I fucking love these guys.
They premiered the video for Iggy Pop's "Wild America", a song co-written by Eric Schermerhorn that appears on an album Eric Schermerhorn plays guitar on, 3 years before Eric Schermerhorn joined TMBG. What a wild and fun coincidence.
It’s funny, I always thought John Linnell to be a tall guy but evidently he’s really short lol
Short and cute 😍
He’s 5’10”, average height, not short.
@@deanevangelista6359ig flans is just really tall
He's scrunched up here, due to the distinct displeasure of the situation 😁
flansburgh is 6 foot!!
“Radiohead at the MTV Beach House” is the new ‘Catalina Wine Mixer’
Are you telling me TMBG premiered the song Linger? they hosted the global premier of The Cranberries biggest song?
I had that same thought - how amazing!!!!
Back when mtv was ridiculously entertaining
They might be giants introducing a butthole surfers music video is everything to me
God they took the piss so hard
Oh my god, the Radiohead MTV beach house concert premiered here?
Waiiiiiiit you mean THAT Beach House concert???? :O
Yep. I actually saw this whole episode when it aired live! So glad someone recorded and posted it :)
I miss this show. I miss the 90s.
this is hilarious for no reason
this is so interesting to watch. john calling out these bands/songs. i left my body
Wait, what? "Carbon, helium, hydrogen, and helium"??
They have another song called "why does the sun really shine" which corrects some of the science.
Had the pleasure of attending , Frank Black playing Teenager of the Year on acoustic guitar. opening for TMBG Live.. ....AWESOME
I still haven't made up my mind about their presenting skills being laughably bad, or skillfully interesting
Kinda both really
Entrancingly nerdy
this is amazing
john honey sweety baby cakes ur never gonna beat the autism allegations I’m sorry but it’s true 😔 /JOKING
I love the Why Does the Sun Shine performance
I love this :)
"Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between carbon, helium, hydrogen.... and helium."
they got him to say butthole so many times
This...is so funny, im so sorry-
4:17 it looks so tired,,,💔
They’re so goofy I love it
4:16 jeez I can tell why people call Linnell "the creepy one"
Is that Kurt and maybe Steven Bernstein?!
I doubt that coffee was that good…
Brian on drums!
howdy
Linnell forgetting the words to Why Does the Sun Shine on live tv makes me cringe.
they fit hosts rather than serious musicians
this is how i found out about liz phair i'm not kidding guys
