Nardwuar is a character that Fred would play

"People are never disappointed about anything".

Its like fred is threatened by nardwuars more hipster or indy than he is

I always find it disappointing when Nardwuar isn’t thanked for his gifts.

the seriousness he kept when he said "people are never dissapointed about anything" im fucking dying

they should get him on portlandia and start the sketch with them unfreezing

Nardwaur is seriously the coolest person i messaged him on facebook asking if he would do the Doot Doola Doot Doo thing with me he messaged me back saying Doot Doo and keep on rawking in the free world.

It's like Fred is staring right into one of his characters

It's weird seeing Fred be the straight man in this video and not the one doing a bit! :)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="339">5:39</a> "People are never disappointed about anything" with a straight face hahahaha

Fred is a professional, I've never seen anyone else handle the freeze frame as well.

im underwhelmed, which makes me overwhelmed of disappointment that two of my favorite people have no chemistry

"People are never disappointed about anything" -Fred Armisen

I think fred seems “out of his element” because he takes music very seriously. I bet if these two got together for a sketch they’d be great together

Rumour has it they are still frozen in Austin, Texas to this day.

“You’re like the most versatile person out there Fred!” Fred: 😳

I think Nardwuar and Fred is the same person but the only differences is that Nard is hyper-extroverted and Fred collects antique coins or whatever

I have to know who moved first...

People are never disappointed about anything.

Best ending. You think Fred doesn't get it with the doo doo part, then he freezes perfectly.

I feel like I am watching a portlandia skit haha

I never know if Fred is acting or being normal. Who's the real Fred ?

He seems like the best guy. Met him a bunch of times here in town and he's super chill.

I love the pause fo the Fericito skit! It's great to be the viewer and be able to experience it .

No surprises that the only piece of incredibly personal information that impressed Fred, was Nardwaur name dropping some wildly obscure Chicago punk from the 80s

Fred looks younger now than back in the fericito days.

Funny thing is Fred used to pull this same shit on sxsw bands back in the day

Noooo the end fuckin killed me with his sound effects n weirdness. Then he kept still just like nardwuar! He pulled a nardwuar on nardwuar whaaaa

one of the best ones imo, wish I could see the full vid of his chik a gogo episode

For the record I believe there is a reason Nardwuar titles his videos with himself vs. whomever, Nadwuar is an ultimate troll (and I mean this in the best context) His tenacity as a journalist goes above and beyond finding facts about the people he interviews, almost to the point where it puts him at odds with them. With that being said I respect any man with such resilience to his craft. #salute Nardwuar

One of my all time favorites. Thank you

Huh, weird. Two people behind character walls, trying to stay ahead of the other.

That is some of the best double acting I’ve ever seen! The sync-up is flawless.

This was great, especially the outro.

Fred is a fucking legend. seriously underrated comedian.

fred armisen looks like logic if he was 30 years older

This is so interesting! I loved it!

That David Cross looks more like Tropic Thunder Tom Cruise

Fred is one of those great comedic actors i always miss on "the greats" tier list, and as soon as i remember i go through their portfolio and comment on videos from 10 year ago.

One of the best short interviews I have ever enjoyed. I do not know this Fred Armisen, nor all bands referenced to, but I am very interested in everything Nard is talking about with him. Nardwuar inspires curiosity in things, because he's a curious man, and himself a curiosity.

Such a sweet pair of guys....this could have been an hour long and I would have watched.

This maybe my favorite interview yet

I love Fred so much for this.

Nardwuar is a legendary interviewer. He lives to surprise these people who have been asked the same questions for years on end. It takes a lot of work but he must get a kick out of it. That's his whole angle; doing the research and the mastery of finding exclusive archives.

Came here to politely request you upload the Needle Drop interview... seems he has more love than I thought. Go Fantano!

Great Interview Nardwuar. Awesome!

One of the best ones, man.

thanks for the link nards!

This is a perfect interview, they bounced off of each other so fast and both seemed like they'd been talking for a while, even though they hadn't. Great stuff.

The ending brought tears to my eyes.

Love it all, but holy shit, the last twenty seconds. Brill-o-al-en-te!!

Awesome interview

Deadpan is different. This is uptight hipster.

It's so great that Nardwuar can just go online instead of having to exist on local-access tv and hard-to-find videotapes like when I first heard of him.

Love the fericito clip!

I don't know why but i figured this was going to be the best interview in the history of interviews

That would be so amazing!

i had no idea this guy was in the punk scene....great work as usual nard!

How have I not seen this before? Awesome combo here.

Great interview nardwuar!

I'll save everybody some time so you don't have to watch the whole interview! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="686">11:26</a> to the end basically sums up everything they discussed

That looks nothing at all like David Cross.

Nardwwuar is like the best geeky friend you can't get rid of. And I mean that in an emotionally healthy way.

Aww this is my favorite episode

That’s the first time I’ve seen someone stay frozen with the Nard the whole time at the end. Fred is the best!

Wow that bobblehead doesn't look like David Cross

Saw Trenchmouth at a bar in St. Cloud, MN in 1996....I feel old.

this was somewhat uncomfortable

This is the best episode of Nardwuar because Fred is genuinely excited about every gift and they have such a chill time talking to each other, just vibing about stuff. Also Chica-Go-Go!

I laughed so hard at the end ayy lmao

Nardwuar you always crack me up with your 'ending freeze pose'..

haha he wasnt impressed at all by nardwuar.

2 of my fav entertainers!!

I recently had a coworker that looked exactly like Fred Armisen only with slightly darker skin, and he was a goofball with a sense of humor from hell, he was hilarious just like Fred, I wonder if they were related.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone handle a Nardwuar interview as smoothly as Fred Armisen. Well done.

on that last question I couldn't tell if he was really pissed off or just doing an act lol with so many characters he does who knows when he's being real or not haha! but it was funny how every time he answered back in a smart tone I just saw him as Candice on Portlandia haha!! And that "People are never disappointed about anything" part killed me dead LOLOL!!!

Awesome!

I love Fred so much, only he could make me laugh with that ending.

fred is so chill

Nardwuar: I have a gift for you Gift: immediate existential dread

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="335">5:35</a> Classic punk rock technique

That turned out better than I thought it would.

Fred can hold his own in any situation. Although I suspect at least some of these interviews are prepped, it's impossible to tell with these two. They know their subjects. Fearless.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="320">5:20</a> fred starts getting a little salty and for good reason.

His knowledge of music is so exhilarating and I'm sure celebs are happy to let their guard down and geek with him!

love the ending

Nardwuar’s weirdness is just another sketch for fred. He vibed with it easy.

we need a nardwuar vs deathgrips, Stan Lee, and MF Doom

"People are never disappointed in anything."

The interviews with punk ties are always the best.

Literally my two favourite people of all time

The freeze was hilarious

No, Nardwuar interviewed Fantano and we're all patiently awaiting it.

Holy Shit!!!! Fred nailed that interview!

Fred is amazing!

"people are never disappointed by anything"

the perfect encounter!

LOVE!

Nardwaur the best misspelled interviews ever with the best digging underground shyte ever

Fred & Nardwuar are still standing frozen in time here in Austin. Saw them the other day...
