I remember Ardal O'Hanlon during a standup show saying "I'd love to interview Neil Armstrong and never once mention the moon".

Neil would also like no questions about his early musical days when he exclusively performed covers, including Fly me to to the moon, REM's Man on the Moon, The Police's Walking on the Moon, David Bowie's Space Oddity, Elton John's Rocket Man, Kate Bush's Rocket's Tail,Hello Earth,and Stranded on the moonbase, Simply Red's Stars, Jonathan King's Everyone's gone to the moon, Moon River, Savage Garden's To the moon and back, The Waterboys' The Whole of the Moon, Mike Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow, The Steve Miller Band's Space Cowboy, Babylon Zoo's Spaceman, The Byrds' Mr Spaceman, a tribute to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, and (a lyrical reworking of a Status Quo hit) Rocket All Over The World. Neil is exclusively here to talk about his new self-penned country and western album 'Keeping my feet on the ground'. It shouldn't be that hard to conduct an interview with those parameters. It's not exactly rocket science, is it?

If you enjoyed this sketch, it might amuse you to learn that the Wikipedia page for John Hinckley Jr. currently begins: "John Warnock Hinckley Jr. (born May 29, 1955) is an American singer-songwriter who is best known for his attempted assassination of U.S. President Ronald Reagan in Washington, D.C. on March 30, 1981." Can't make this shit up.

Hang on a minute! You’re telling me the singer/songwriter Neil Armstrong has been to the moon! 🤯

These two are the perfect duo. One is the best straight edge to ever square off against the post modern world. The other is the most unrelenting Tramp to ever oppose and subvert order.

That was it, it was in the Gardening episode in the G series, well remembered!

Really enjoyed this track!

Funnily enough, Neil Armstrong wrote the Savage Garden song "Fly to the Moon and Back". True story :)

"Would you say that to Tom Petty?" (Watch the Billy Bob Thornton interview.)

@AlbosNoggins A similar thing in Series G episode Gardening, where Stephenson (the train guy) supposedly only talks about his cucumber straightening device.

@davidanthonypickerin Yes!! You're very right, well done. I wasnt sure so i of course had to watch the entire ep again (the XL version), then accientally the rest of that series. David does talk about the whole interview concept but its robert stevenson he refers to. I'm sure there was a neil armstrong one too, wasn't there??? Somewhere??? Sometime??? Maybe not but i'll keep searching :D

RIP BIG Neil ):

It was the steam engine, the same man also invented a glass tube for growing straight cucumbers, and David suggested he'd be very tedious and only talk about the tube instead of trains.

HAHA! Response to the Billy Bob Thornton interview done by Gian Gomeshi?

@AlbosNoggins that was about robert stevenson insisting on not talking about stevensons rocket i beleive

Isn't it that he was that jazz guy riding bicycles?

When Neil Armstrong died, there was an internet headline where they called him Neil Young.

Webb's response is sharp.

brilliant

So _that's_ what they mean about him coming back from the moon with a new rock collection!

True, although I think it was the guy who invented the locomotive wanting to only talk about a bottle with a hole in it.

nice video, too.

Adrian charles lives on those stairs.

I think the title ruined a joke in the sketch as you know that they are talking about Niel Armstrong from the beginning. The first time I watched the sketch I throught they were talking about Niel Diamond.

David talked about this concept in an episode of QI, neil armstrong inventing something and insisting on only talking about that in interviews . . . I thhink . . .

@AlbosNoggins Was it not the episode with Gentlemen Gardeners and the glass tube invented by... someone electricity related... to keep a certain vegetable growing straight?

The joke here is spoiled by the title. I'm a fan, but haven't seen everything. I would have loved the surprise of realizing who "Neil" was.

I'd hate to see this guy interview Dr. Brian May.

I do. The place is a cesspool.

you find that out at 0:39 anyway

Where do you think all our moon rocks came from?

@mrfundah Yeah, you're right, it was Stevenson talking about his cucumber straightening device wasnt it . . . oo-er :-)

See Mitchell and Webb - moon landing conspiracy.

A youtube let's player with a username similar to that guy's username.

i remember that lol

Where is Arthur two sheds Jackson when you need him?

What else would you expect from a singer/ song writer? :p

What about Major Tom?

You are thinking of Robert Stephenson. He was talking about his cucumber straightening device and how he bet he would refuse to talk about trains and only ever go on about his glass bottle with the top cut off.

is this like a Prince reference or something?

Well, it might be quite interesting but what would be really interesting to know,is - are you able to translate it into English ... Neil didn't really walk on the moon - he strode on the sun (I stole that joke).

The joke is that after leaving NASA Armstrong had a hit single with What a wonderful world before becoming a celebrated cyclist and it's funny that the interviewer now wants to ask about the astronaut stuff and not the steroid abuse.

This is completely irrelevant but I just happened to notice "Pirate44444" is quite similar to "pcull44444"... is there a connection?

is it just me or does Mitchell look delicious in this clip...

Is this a spoof on the 2009 Billy Bob Thornton interview on The Q with Jian Ghomeshi?

but yeah

I know this is a sketch but to be fair I’d also think of Neil as an astronaut

Well that's a shame. I almost had immense respect for you.

That's not what dyslexic means and it's "If my Greek IS correct". "dys·lex·ia - a variable often familial learning disability involving difficulties in acquiring and processing language that is typically manifested by a lack of proficiency in reading, spelling, and writing"

PLEASE CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS VIDEO. It kills the joke.

they went to the moon, deal with it.

The joke is completely ruined, because of the title... thanks very much

Wait, who/what is pcull44444?

''imagine I'm someone who is so breathtakingly out of touch'' that's like everyone below a certain age at the moment

lol

😂

no

no you diden't, but USA went to the moon in 1969.

I enjoyed your video.. When you get a second I'd love it if you could leave me feedback on my own videos. I'm always trying to improve them. Thanks!

When David says "imagine I'm someone who is so breathtakingly out of touch". He completely sums up Generation Z perfectly.

The problem is-and I appreciate their comedy..this just isn’t funny.If you had a million people watch this...who weren’t fans,it would be a shit ton of thumbs downs. This-is just not good.
