*baby crying* Lynch: that's beautiful

This wasn't actually scene prep, Lynch does this on his lunch breaks as a hobby

My depression talking to me lol

"Don't be happy... roll around really in pain!" David Lynch with kids lol

This is equally adorable and terrifying

Kubrick to Duvall in 1980.

Lynch to his audience: “Don’t be happy, don’t be happy! Roll around and be upset!”

This is just hilarious lol. I want David Lynch to direct my life to me. "It's 8 'o clock, wake up and wash your face. Wash your face I said. Wash your face"

i dont think those kids know what a rock and roll concert is like, dave.

I think probably the funniest thing about this scene is that these kids are in like, one shot. Not even one scene, literally just the single shot

don't be happy! don't be happy!

David Lynch has a lot of experience directing children. Not a lot of people know this, but the Eraserhead baby wasn't actually a puppet, it was a real mutant baby that Lynch found and decided to put in the film.

This is even funnier when you realise this is for a literal 2 second shot.

"Scream like you're at a concert!" David, he's 3.

Was anyone else too busy crawling around and making noises on the floor to watch what happened in the video?

He simultaneously sounds like he's brilliant with kids and like a grizzled noir detective interrogating someone.

I was watching this and thought "Wow David Lynch's approach to speaking to children is like the total opposite of Mr Rogers' way of speaking to them" but then I kinda realized he's actually handling the situation in quite a beautiful way that is just a testament to Lynch's character. Because he's not really dumbing anything down too much. Hes asking the children to roll and yell because it would be beautiful, and you can tell he means that he wants them to do exactly that because it would be beautiful. There's no lying or trying to manipulate them to do anything.. Hes kind of just treating them like tiny adults. And you can argue the effectivness of his methods, but you cant deny its a clear testament to Lynchs incredible character

He was never the greatest babysitter

now i finally understand why Vinny doesnt shut up about this; its amazing

Sir, you're going to have to leave...

David Lynch feeds off of the screams and tears of children.

Therapist: So what brings you here? Patient: David Lynch directed me as a child. Therapist: I'm sorry, I can't help you.

Big thanks to Vinny Funny Calzone Man Pizzapasta for making me think of this literally every day.

Infinitely meme-able

I want this man to direct my life

that look at the end, he was like, "that's it...!"

Vinny made me look up this video. Thanks pizza pasta man.

I almost died laughing watching this XD "Cry like a baby, that'd be so beautiful." XD I can't.

"FOR CHRIST SAKE ALDEN CRY"

I love that David is so out of touch that he thinks toddlers have been to a ‘Rock N’ Roll’ concert

“Cry like a baby”, he says to a group of babies…

part of me thought vinny was just making this up.

Is this what Directing is????

David Lynch is the only behind the scenes man that makes you question more about his socialization with the people working for him rather than questioning the media's interpretation.

I came here because of Vinny.

I'm here because of Vinny

Ahhh, David Lynch, the man who wishes everyone to ’have a great day’ and golden sunshine day after day with that warm smile, loving voice and perfect hair, all of which guarantee to make your day no matter what Also David: DON’T BE HAPPY AND ROLL AROUND ON THE FLOOR IN PAIN

David Lynch's father recommended that he don't have children

Thank you Vinny

I could watch this man direct for hours. wish I had access to the raw footage of his films

Start making your noise. Start making your noise. Roll around on the floor and make your noise, Alden. Can you make your noise? Alden, if you could start crawling on the floor and making some noise, that would be so beautiful. Cry for me. Crawl on the floor and cry like a little baby. Can you do that, Alden? Can you cry out like a little baby for the film? It'd be so beautiful. Cry out- crawl over there, and crawl around and cry like a baby. See- real loud. Can you do it? Can you do it? Crawl and cry like a baby. Alden, do that thing. That'd be so beautiful- that's great, like that. Can you make noise? Keep making noise. Make some crying noises, some sad, loud crying noises. Don't be happy. Don't be happy. Roll around and be- be, you know, upset. Roll around and be upset. There you go, that's beautiful. Roll back the other way. Roll back the other way. Roll back the other way. Same thing. Roll back. Roll back. No, no, no, no, that's too happy. Roll again. Get over there and roll- roll really, uh, in pain. Really in pain. That's beautiful. Scream like you're at a concert. Can you scream like you're at a concert, Alden? Scream out like you're at a concert. A rock n' roll concert, scream out. Scream out at the man at the door.

"No no no, that's too happy. Roll again, roll over there like, like you're in pain" Lynch: "Scream at the man at the door." Child: "ahhhh"

Vinny sent me here

chat is this real?

My brain when I stop taking my antidepressants: 0:48

“David Lynch directed me” achievement unlocked

I feel like David Lynch is giving me crucial life advice here: "don't be happy, roll around and be upset"

ffs Vinny. Thanks.

Damn he should have asked my kids.

"Scream out at the man at the door" *Dental drill starts*

I find David Lynch's behavior hilarious and unsettling at the same time

What people don't realise is that the footage of the kids was spliced in, and he's actually talking to Kyle MacLachlan.

david lynch directs new show for cbeebies!

“I SAID make some FUCKING noise!”

The polar opposite of what parents say to their kids. “Stop yelling! Be happy!”

I love how David knows exactly what he wants from actors (even the youngest ones) but the film ends up unclear in a beautiful way

CRAWL LIKE A BABY!

Lynch makes it look so simple yet it's so masterful when you think about it. You can't say you truly understand how to direct actors unless you've successfully given playable actions to kid actors.

It’s amazing that this is all for literally one shot in Twin Peaks: The Return

1:26 that face when the kid screamed was like “oh god what have I done!?”

Lynch is such a sweet guy. :)

o wow it's my internal monologue

there is something sinister about this...."cry for me like a little baby...crawl and cry...can you do it?"

This is how David Lynch directed all his movies...

“Roll around really in pain… beautiful”

Actual footage of Lynch obtaining the baby sounds for Eraserhead

The way be describes the little kid rolling around screaming like they’re in pain as “beautiful” in the way one would describe the Grand Canyon while flying over it on a unicorn in his weird robot voice is just too much!

It would be so byootefool

8 hour later... Lynch: Don’t be happy, Scream out!

it would be so beautiful if you could crawl like a baby

1:26 - just looks at this joyful face!

david lynch giving anyone (especially toddlers) direction makes my day

This is the most wholesome thing I have ever... ever seen. Thank you master Lynch.

This is one of my favorite videos ever! I come back to it and it always makes me laugh.

Took him a while, but he got it.

Every hard videogame ever when you die

As a director that has worked with children (under the age of 5) on a low budget independent film & I must say, working with children is such a difficult thing to do... its so hit-or-miss with children. You either get an amazing shot you didn't expect to get or you get hours of frustration that you hope can be worked with while editing... most of the time, both.

No, no, no... That's too happy... Like your in pain... That's beautiful.

I could see David Lynch being a great dad.

And that is why this guy is one of my all-time favorite directors.

I’m crying like a baby 👶 🍼 ty David Lynch :)

0:14 I like to think the guy in the background is the kid's dad and he is questioning signing his kid up for this.

That sweet music playing in background while david lynch asks those kids to cry like a little baby in pain creeps me out man XDDDDD

great news, that diaper you like is coming back in style

Terrifying

Kids: *cries* Everyone else: "nooo don't cry, be happy" Kids: *stays happy* David Lynch: "nooo don't be happy, cry" Kids: *confused noises*

No that's too happy

"scream like you're at a concert" to the two year old who obviously has been to a few screamo concerts.

This man sounds like the voice of society teaching emotion hahaha. David lynch is my spirit animal.

I really love Lynch effort on every detail of his works Like, this scene only appears not even a second in the series

Be forewarned: "the teddy bears are not what they seem"

This is amazing. Thank you Vinny, for introducing me to this cursed clip.

CRY FOR ME.

Would love too see David Lynch takeover a daycare like Arnie.

"Roll around and be upset, in so much pain!" Omg, he's speaking to my soul.....

One of the best videos I have ever seen

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen, I just love him.

One of the best videos ever.

my sleep paralysis demon when i see him under my bed

"No, no, no that's too happy. Roll again. Get over there and roll again, really in pain, REALLY in pain."
