The woman laughingly saying "you're afraid of him, aren't ya?" Uh, yeah. He just smashed a window in order to get close enough to attack a random person. Chimps are one of the few animals that are intelligent enough to be capable of cruelty, and if you've ever seen the results of a chimp attack, it is absolutely brutal.

Louis is a clever interviewer, he'll often asks questions that seem stupid but he does it to provoke some kind of a reaction. He'll also often not say anything in response to his questions, so that the person he's interviewing feels compelled to keep talking and possibly reveal stuff they wouldn't ordinarily say. The clever part is knowing when to use these tactics.

As brave as Louis is I think it's important to know that although his car is a compact, the seats do in fact go back.

Louis Theroux is such a good interviewer and how he stays so calm is incredible. He also points out the flaws in the arguments of small minded people so easily and is so polite even when being put in danger and being told terrifying things. He approached things open minded and you can tell he genuinely tries to understand and not mock people, even when they are disrespectful to him and hold questionable beliefs, to say the least.

I love Louis Theroux to bits. He puts himself into life-threatening situations that make you wonder whether he is a slave to entertaining his viewers - or whether he truly has a death wish? He never shows he's scared of any of the crazy places he visits (Johannesburg - jeezus?!!!) and he is so polite and self-deprecating he doesn't really upset anyone, not even that crazy Wesboro' "church" mob who invited him back three times. It's hard not to be impressed by this lovely man.

Louis has been in some weird situations! Top 10 WTF Louis Theroux Moments kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5h8isSAuc_ZdJs.html

Louis is one of those sorts of interviewers who will go to the situation and ask "tell me why you feel this way", putting across a more empathetic style as opposed to so many who would want to be confrontational.

Louie looks meek but he's very courageous and I appreciate his efforts to show us forbidden zones

You're in charge, you can do it! Ask a question, keep control! Get Louis, Get Louis! *Stare into their mortal soul.*

Louis is a treasure to journalism... He is highly intelligent, self-deprecating, humble, curious, and genuinely fearless with a dash of Gonzo.

Trying to find a clip of Louis visit to the brothel. It was one of the best episodes because of the friendship he developed with Hayley. When she came back after being fired, he literally said to her " it was quiet without you here" in other words he missed her. And she really liked him 😊 it was sweet. I hope he kept in contact with her.

"I give them some money back." "How much?" "Nothing..."

The unsung hero of Louis' career : THE CAMERAMAN

In that Pedophile episode, Louis found that one of the pedo's had a picture of a young male dancer in tights on his wall and pointed it out to the staff. The pedo said: "I just like the shape of the dancer" or something like that. Yeah right... So Louis brought it up to the staff and the staff all of a sudden decided it was inappropriate and they decided to take it down. Yeah, no sh!t it's inappropriate. That whole episode was an uncomfortable watch, but that stuck with me as it showed how something can seem right from the people inside a situation and then an outside person gives a completely different perspective on how wrong something actually is.

Proper old fashioned reporter and one of the best we have. Every one of his documentaries is compelling viewing and leaves you speechless.

Johannesburg is not the capital of South Africa. It’s only the largest city.

Louis really reminds me of my brother (also a journalist). He's super disarming and has a way of coming off as naive and innocent when he's interviewing people that just catches them off guard and makes them open up even on difficult topics. He's nothing like that in reality, he's a very normal and goofy person lol, but he has the technique for interviewing people and getting their real selves to come out. It takes real talent and intellect to be able to turn that on and off.

Did anyone see the brothel one? 😂😂

There's a lot of tough guys in the world but few would have the balls he has.

There’s a reason he’s been in situations where most would not make it out of and of course shout out to the camera man.

The Napoleon Dynamite of journalism

Something about seeing Louis with regular Compton dudes just hanging out and training dogs is heartwarming haha

I don’t know if it’s still there or not but a few years ago I watched a good few of Louis’s documentaries on Netflix and tbh I don’t know how he’s still going

Louie is a ✨national treasure ✨

For someone who appears so harmless, Louis certainly has some big balls!!😊

He's got some ballz

i love this guy, some of his documentaries are insanely good...

i recall watching all these when I was younger always loved Louis and the way he was pretty badass to be fair

Louis treats humans as humans no matter what and its amazing.

I would smash a few windows too if I were a chimp forced to live in Someone's home. Don't get me started on that Lion hunting..... That said, I love Louis!

Ha Ole Louis, if its one thing he's got its ballz! 😂👌he's quite brilliant. His moments of silence are so strategically placed.

Ross kemp also had many dangerous situations i always watched his shows

Louis is a bloody hero. To be visibly so scared, and who can blame him, in these situations yet still crack on and play the scenes out shows amazing courage.

this guy has a set of grade A brass ones

People eating their babies, little children AND EACH OTHER 😂😂

As an avid self-proclaimed Documentary Geek, Louis is one of my favourite documentary makers. He rarely goes in with the killer questions although sometimes, he has no other option, taking the 'Are you a p....' question he asked Savile as a prime example. He generally always goes in with a softly softly approach, allowing people to feel comfortable with the conversation whilst gradually giving the more and more rope on which they inevitably hang themselves with. Likewise, if he's covering topics such as Mental Health or Mothers who struggle to bond with their children, his level of empathy without being either patronising or judgemental is joy to watch. I call him a fence sitter and that's how all good Documentary makers should be, leave your own opinions and judgements at home, no matter how strongly you feel about the subject and allow them to take the narrative in their direction. I did shake my head however when he did the Documentary on Scientology. I've seen 100's on that cult and every one turns out the same; Scientology just put up a brick wall and no matter what, no one can even ask intelligent questions let alone get a vaguely intelligent answer from them. They cost John Sweeney, an equally fantastic Documentary maker/Investigative Reporter his career on the BBC in the early 2000's. he self funds a lot of his work now and is doing some great work.

3:21- I was like " why are you covering your face with a towel...you have a tattoo on your left hand. you can still be identified.

Of all these places; Johannesburg would absolutely be the most scary place to be.

It’s almost amusing to see the way Louise Theroux appears to quietly bait some of the people he is interviewing.He many times however asks pertinent questions, and unfortunately that’s when many of the wrong doers start to get agitated,and threaten to turn hostile.A good compilation of Louise work.

The old preacher was terrifying 😂😂😂😂😂

I like him better when he’s rapping “my money don’t jiggle jiggle”

We all love Louis

All the clips from the Scientology movie are priceless and filled with shenanigans. Not scary, though!

You don’t know louis very well if you think his questions are innocent, that’s what is so fantastic about his approach to these types of issues

I love Louis, he's such a great guy. I've seen all his documentaries, and Mojo is right, he's met some pretty despicable characters

I love Louis Theroux 💎 he is such a good interviewer, has a sense of humour, and is very courageous

Tell him to stop and I'll tell him to stop. Lmfao

"Yeah I give 'em some money back" Louis "How much?" "Nothin' " 🤣🤣

6:52 - South Africa has 3 capitals and Johannesburg isn't even one of them.

It was scary in the Baptist Westboro script.

I grew up on watchmojo and just clocked the smiley face

All his three documentaries about the Westboro Baptist Church are very good.

Just confirms what I have always believed, if you kick rocks over you are going to often find creepy things. Most of the people he interviews are so horrendously damaged, there is little to be learnt from them other than as cautionary tales.

Louis is a legend.

Gee I wonder why he felt no love from the loins that he's breading into slavery just to " hunted"...smh Broken Humans

Louis is a brave guy with big balls. A real journalist that goes out and discovers real stories and shows them unbiased. These journalists are becoming extinct as many just work from home, spreading fake news on the internet they've read and dont get off thier asses. Louis, your a star. He should be recognised by magnum agency for his videography work.

Louis a LEG, Superb journalist

I love this guy! I would like to see the docu when he lived with Saville. But I think because of who Saville was!

Re. Johannesburg: Maybe they quickly turn into riots because the police keep firing rubber bullets at them?

The most disturbing ones are the ones where you can see children playing in the background, clearly becoming involved in the activities of the parents.

'How much?' 'Nothin." 'Sir, do you know how yes/no questions work?'

I recently watched one of his documentaries, which was about Autism where we goes to this specialist school in New Jersey, USA called The DLC and that felt odd to be watching in parts

Love this guy

Love this guy. He’s got quite a set on him too !

That first clip made me laugh when he said about giving her money back with a dead pan face

Really enjoy his docos. He does such a great job.

For me the most terrifying thing that he did was meet the gangster malaven in joburg. If genuinely believe if that was not a public place, he would have tried to kill them and take their stuff

Really enjoy watching Louis Theroux docs. he is such a likable person!!

For me the most terrifying/hilariously inappropriate moment was in A place for Pedophiles. There’s a moment when the inmates are setting up for a Halloween party and there’s some of the inmates around a piano singing The Addams Family’s theme tune, the line that stands out is “we’re creepy and we’re kooky”

One of the last few real journolists , the balls on this man

Johannesburg isn't our capital! x

He’s a good bloke he has to ask the dumb questions for the viewers

Alot of journalist could learn alot from Louies non biased approach to his interviews a true proffessional at his craft

Louis is a genuine national treasure.

How about LT’s rap? You dropped the ball right there WM

Does anyone know where I can watch his docu series :/

I would put the interview with Eugene Terreblanche and the meeting with Maleven in South Africa in the top 20.

Everyone already knows what number one is without even watching the video lol watching that part was absolutely wild

Louis Theroux and Ross kemp are fearless badasses

You all think he he is some type of person full of bravado.. What don't see off camera is the amount of security he has behind him 🤣🤣🤣Trust me , he is never alone in these conditions .

“Are you so stoopid”. To a Cambridge graduate. 😂

Some of the ladies in Westboro baptist church were babes

Wonderful journalist for decades now.

balls of steel

Lol at the dood hiding his face with a tattoo on his hand 3:09

...never ever heard of this guy, gotta check out some of his Docs.

How in the world was Huntington rated as more dangerous than a chimpanzee??? Or even Johannesburg, or the potential riot in Nigeria???

Louis is a legend of the screen. Similar league to that of David Attenborough.

Genius is that people don’t consider him a threat and let their guard down….most of the time. Guy has guts

How is this man still alive?

Number 1 should be his interview with Dame Judy Dench, especially when: Judy: We had 17 cats during war Louis: During which war? Judy: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I feared for his live.

His documentary on Scientology is nothing short of genius. He turned all their ridiculous tactics around on them. He clearly had done his homework on their methods - even if that was just watching the failed BBC documentary - and he came out on top. It was a pleasure to watch.

Convicted offender is a bit tame. He was an absolute monster, probably the one of the worst paedo predator in documented history

the african game episode is my favorite, it's funny how clueless louie is at times (not to say his line of work could ever be done safely), curiosity leads him I'd rather be near lions than any pet chimp, those chimp owners are delusional, living on borrowed time, his trips to Africa have to be the most dangerous things he's ever done, really lucky he's still alive, the neo-nazis and convicts and thugs are nothing compared to how dangerous it is for him to be in those poor African areas

Louis said in an interview that the chimp scene was the most scared he's ever been.

You're in charge, you can do it!

His first cousin is the Evil Dj in Zoolander. The one who break dance fights.

8:27 - "it's no little known fact," so, it is a well known fact? Or did you mean "it's a little known fact" lol 🤔 They mean totally opposite things, got my head spinning lol 😆

I would imagine that Louis needs to shower several times a day after spending time with these people. Urghh!

I love how extremely polite he is to the most Ridiculous people!! Love Louis 🥹😍❤️
