defended themselves against an
incompetent belligerent or simply
downright foolish interviewer number 10
samuel l.jackson people have been mixing
up samuel l.jackson and Laurence
Fishburne for years but this interview
and case of mistaken identity was one
that finally pushed Jackson over the
edge did you get a lot of reaction that
Super Bowl commercial Super Bowl
commercial
KTLA Sam Rubin asked Jackson about the
supposed Super Bowl commercial that he
had starred in and this set Jackson off
on a two-minute tangent in which he
completely eviscerated Ruben on-air
you’re as crazy as the people on Twitter
that was my fault
I want to say you know what we don’t all
look alike he constantly cut him off
told him that not all black people look
alike and even took a job at Reubens job
as an entertainment reporter you don’t
know the difference between can do
nothing but awkwardly laugh it off
before conceding that it was a
well-deserved spanking what’s in your
wallet black guy okay is the car black
there it is Morgan Freeman is the other
credit card number nine Tom Hardy if
anything Hardy was far too polite
the interviewer at a press conference
opens his questioning with the
ridiculous statement that Hardy’s
sexuality seems ambiguous he then keeps
rolling asking of celebrities find it
hard to openly discuss their sexuality
before clarifying that he is asking
Hardy directly about his do you find it
hard for celebrities to talk to their
section to talk to media about their
sexuality well no is he what about the
actor simply asks why he’s asking about
that which stumps the kid in his tracks
probably ending his career in the
process Hardy then gives him a simple
but commanding thank you ends the
questioning on his own terms and proves
that he’s just as badass in real life as
he is in front of the camera are you
asking me about my sexuality
sure why thank you okay number eight and
half the way it seems as if male
interviewers can’t shake the image of an
Hathaway in a cat suit how do you fit
into that suit first its extras Jerry
panic Olli telling half the way that she
is in quote phenomenal shape and asking
what the leather suit was like any
particular work trying to lose weight we
have to talk about this what what do you
want are you trying to fit into a cat
suit then it’s Chris Van Vleet asking
her how much weight she had lost to get
in again quote phenomenal shape while
Hathaway takes it in stride and has a
smile on her face the whole time
you can still tell that she was a little
uncomfortable with the question and
obviously it refused to answer it
directly he was lucky she’s so sweet how
much weight have you lost to get into
this shape right now my goodness number
seven Mel Gibson there are a few things
you don’t bring up in a simple
promotional interview including as we’ve
seen a star sexuality and weight we can
add their past drinking problems to that
list as well almost four years ago dude
I mean I’ve moved on I guess you haven’t
gibson appeared on WGN TV with reporter
Dean Richards to answer questions about
his movie Edge of Darkness things were
going well enough until Richards brought
up Gibson’s problematic past resulting
in Gibson telling Richards to move on
before Riley giving him a thumbs up and
calling him an asshole no you know I’ve
let’s move on dude come on Richard’s
probably just wanted ratings and views
and he certainly got that and a little
something extra it’s good to see you
back in the saddle and doing what you do
best thanks a lot for joining us Mel
take care bye bye asshole
number six Robert Downey jr. Krishnan
guru-murthy of Channel four News has
certainly made a name for himself in the
early 21st century because of his
belligerent interviewing style as
showcased with this infamous Robert
Downey jr. interview our DJ’s reluctance
to answer personal questions is clear
evident as it looks off to his publicist
and begins to breathe deeply let me just
ask you a few more questions and you can
answer them if you want to or not if you
don’t want to so when a well warned
guru-murthy brings up robert’s troubled
past downy simply says goodbye and walks
out leaving a curiously bewildered
Krishna and sitting in awkward silence
still some sorry I really don’t know
what are we doing well I’m just asking
questions that’s all right bye to his
credit Danny doesn’t unleash on him but
it’s pretty bad for an interviewee to
number 5 Scarlett Johansson okay here’s
a tip for all you budding reporters out
there unless you’re writing for a porn
magazine or lingerie blog maybe don’t
ask your subjects about their underwear
here we meet up again with extras Jerri
panic Olli you know the Anne Hathaway
fan who’s now asking Scarlett Johansson
about whether she wore underwear under
her Avengers costume now were you able
to wear undergarments you’re like the
fifth person that’s because what is
going on what since when did people
start asking each other about an
injuries about their underwear Scarlett
quickly deflects the question and
harshly berate penico Lee all well
jeremy renner sits there and awkwardly
laughs along is it inappropriate to ask
somebody what kind of Underpants they
were I didn’t ask you what kind you just
asked me if I was wearing a knee
Johansen asks what kind of interview
this is and we can’t help but ask the
exact same question number four Quentin
Tarantino it’s none of your damn
business what I think about that well
it’s my job to ask you why you think and
I’m Gillian Flynn oh and I’m shutting
you down once more we see Channel 4’s
Krishnan guru-murthy missing the mark
and the social cues guru-murthy asks
Tarantino about the relationship between
cinematic and real violence you know
Tarantino 101 it’s interesting that you
have a different view and I’m just
trying to explore that and I don’t want
you if I’m here to sell my movie
Tarantino repeatedly tells guru-murthy
to drop it and that his stance on the
subject is well documented yet Krishnan
sticks with it leading to an incredibly
awkward four minute long back-and-forth
do not ask me a question like that I’m
not gonna I’m not biting I
views your question what because I
refuse your question I’m not your slave
and you’re not my master you can’t make
me dance to your tune on a monkey I make
you answer anything we’re honestly
surprised that Tarantino didn’t walk out
like our DJ surely after the tenth time
you tell someone to move on and they
don’t do it you would start to get a
little annoyed has this guy not seen
Reservoir Dogs it’s not my job to flesh
it out no it’s my job to try and ask you
to and I’m shutting your butt down
number three Jerry Seinfeld Seinfeld is
one of the most popular television shows
and arguably the most admired sitcom of
all time and Jerry doesn’t want you to
forget it during an interview with Larry
King the host asks the comedian if he
stopped the show on his own terms or if
it was canceled he gave it up right I
did they didn’t cancel you you cancel
them you’re not aware of this this leads
to Seinfeld ripping into King asking
King if he knows who he is telling him
about the 75 million viewers who tuned
into the finale and subtly jabbing King
about the decreased quality of his talk
show don’t most shows go down a little
most people do also you could argue that
Seinfeld response was a little uncalled
for but 75 million viewers damn it yeah
no I went off there I was the number one
show on television Larry okay
75 million viewers episode number two
Tom Cruise it’s one thing to ask a
stupid question it’s another to prank
your interviewee here Tom Cruise was
being interviewed at an event when the
interviewer squirted him with water via
why would you do that crew seemingly has
the patience of a saint because he
calmly bear eats the man and calls him a
jerk instead of decking him straight in
the face I’m here giving you an
interview and answering your questions
and you do something really nasty sure
and the best part when the interviewer
turns around his face is puckered as if
he’s about to cry you know you’ve done a
good job firing back at someone when
before we unveil our top pick here is an
honorable mention you five hours late
here
no we just saw you on Twitter I’m here

questions number one Kanye West at least

apparently sway doesn’t have all the
answers in this sway in the morning
interview
Kanye displays great modesty by
declaring himself to be the single
greatest artist of her generation an
equal to Shakespeare I’m standing up and
I’m telling you I am Warhol I am the
number one most impactful artist of our
generation I am Shakespeare in the flesh
what Disney when sway tries to give
Connie advice on how to further his
genius
Kanye goes ballistic and screams quote
you ain’t got the answers countless
times directly into the microphone or
why don’t you empower yourself and don’t
need them and do it yourself
hats wait take a few steps back man you
want to get the answers to top it off
Kanye takes a jab at sways clothing line
