I believe the most BURNING question here is, if he will make a full version of his "my money don't jiggle jiggle, it folds" song.
He has
@@mathew_mount where can i see that?
@@joseangelmonterroza9364 search for Jiggle Jiggle
Mine is, why isn't he singing correctly? "My money doesn't jiggle jiggle"?
Who cares. You a downy or something?
"Is Louis Theroux a Beta Male?" "I might be an Omicron Male. I'm milder but I get around more..." slayed me
Yea he made the entire 'Alpha male' thing sound almost as dumb and pseudoscientific as it actually is x) Assigning generic behavioural stereotypes and attributes to people based on superficial behaviour isn't exactly useful 'psychology'...
@@guyfawkes8873 Okay but he's on telly and we're not, so... Alpha right? Right?
So clever
Same, he's hilarious
Louis needs to do some more lighthearted docs. He's so effortless funny. I wish he'd do one about flatearthers or something, just for the lolz.
Just watch all of his weird weekends & you'll be in heaven in that case
I wouldn't mind seeing him do one on anti-choicers that tried to get NHS staff sacked for daring to choose what goes into their bodies.
@@HermesConrad9 Weird Weekends is great! I do wish he'd do more of that.
or bronys
@@HermesConrad9 was about to say the same. His earlier docs were wild and he had that youthful chirpiness
"What height is Louis Theroux?"
me, shouting: "6ft2 in a compact!!"
No slack
Luckily the seats go back
@@MahmudulHasan-ii3yw I have a nack to relax in my mind

@@Unknown-rw2ec it’s his rap. Look up Louis Theroux jiggle jiggle.
I’m surprised Netflix haven’t given him a multi million dollar contract to make documentaries for them
Lots of their staff are deeply loyal to the BBC. I’m sure they’ve given him raises as the popularity of his shows has increased.
They have the self proclaimed poor man's Louis Theroux in that host of Dark Tourist
i expect they have tried, but despite their control of their own public image they are not all that highly respected amongst the media conglomerates of the world and i think Louis' integrity keeps him to the more unbiased media sources. Netflix has a lot of vested interests to advertising and such that the BBC does not.
he’s loyal to the bbc I think and for good reason
@Sharks Are you braindead?
“I have an altitude of 6 foot 2“ made me actually laugh out loud
I thought it was funnier when he said laying down he's 1/2 a foot
Me too 😂
Louis is definetly a natural comedian.
Yeah. He instinctively knows what's funny but not in the "did you hear the one about..." way, the interpersonal way
Shame he's not a natural reporter
@@markfox7764 what do you mean by this
@@markfox7764 You would shit your pants in most of the situations Louis has been through
I adore this interview. It's like we're being invited to watch the inner ramblings of Louis Theroux, and they are utterly magnificent. That, and a solid lesson in grammar and sentence structure!
If you want to hear Louis at his least guarded, I highly recommend Adam Buxton's podcast.
@@NxDoyle his off menu episode too!
That would be a good title for a show The Inner Ramblings of Louis Theroux 😃😄
I think I would love to talk to him, just rambling on. I don't know if he would consider me one of the most boring people had ever met, but if he enjoys rambling from one indepht topic to another one I am his guy
I have fancied Louis Theroux for nearly 20 years.
I see him and his family on bike ride he lives down the road from me, genuine nice guy, and he discovered tiger King so I'm giving him props for that.
I have a thing for him also!
Ooh me too! Something about him.
How fancy is it??
@@B77548 very
His reply to "Why is Louis Theroux not my dad?" was so genuinely wholesome, I cried.
Why Paul Theroux is not your dad?:)
@@fashionela1 for the most part, chances are he's not anyone's dad 😅
@@chfr9573 Louis looks as Paul. I don't know what are you trying to say.:) My comment is related to the fact that his father is one of the greatest writers of our time.
It was lovely, hey?
What height is Louis Theroux?
He’s 6 foot 2 in a compact
No slack
But luckily the seats go back
He’s got a knack to relax in his mind
He’s feeling fine
And he’s sipping some red red wi-i-i-ine
Shepherds bush
My compact push
😂 he’s so funny without being forceful about it . He seems like such a delight to be around would love to spend the day with him and poke his thoughts !
You should check Karl pikington out
The omicron male joke was so calmly delivered It took me a moment to realise how funny it was
He's an anxious dad to us all- I bet in heaven we'd all get a turn to throw a frisbee around with our dad Theroux
@@aldranzam3456 :')
He’s a transatlantic superstar. I like his presenting style. He stays around the same volume, so no surprises when I’m stoned watching Telly.
I like how you value presenters for not harshing your buzz. Is there any that you stay well clear of because their volume fluctuates wildly?
@@grizcuz can’t think at the moment but they are out there. Some presenters with certain volume or accents I can’t watch.
@@grizcuz I know it's low hanging fruit but James Corden with his awful fake cackle would harsh anyone's buzz.
@@grizcuz Keith lemon, Alan Carr and that weird bird off towie with the mouth like an axe wound, I think she went out with Steve-O for a bit?
This man seems so calm and chill but he will openly laugh in the face of nazis, and I love that.
By the time Louis reaches Attenborough age he will be in the same bracket of national treasure. Its starting to happen now. Guys a legend.
Its crazy how Theroux went from weird weekends to delving into the darkest corners of society. Shows how versatile and mentally strong he is as a journalist. His investigations always intruige me, im always glued to the screen. Louis theroux really is an amazing and skilled reporter, asking the questions which invoke the best and rawest responses from whoever he speaks to.
I think part of what makes Louis so trustworthy is the man is not scared to ask questions that lead to larger things while also staying respectful of the people. It is a disarming quality that not many presenters have but Louis does a really incredible job of it. I remember watching Weird Weekends long ago and seeing him doing that and it has helped me a lot in daily life when asking questions.
The way Louis spoke into the mic, he really does have a comforting and soothing voice. Perhaps he should do spoken ASMR, I bet if this was to happen he would have a well viewed channel.
Yeah he needs to do one of those celebrity asmr things
He should do it as a joke but not a serious full time thing, people that do those seriously are lazy and weird
Yea a sleep hypnosis. I've been know to put on one of his shows to sleep.
This man makes me happy. He's genuinely pure. It's wholesome.
6ft 2 in a compact no slack luckily the seats go back😉
4:23 brilliant explanation. People say Louis is a badass for seemingly putting himself in danger, but if you had your own show and were being filmed/looked after 24/7 would you be worried? Louis is not an idiot, he knows that under these circumstances a logical criminal would not attack him on camera.
Challenge excepted…said some criminal somewhere
He has a not-threatening presence. Which helps if you want to interview dangerous people.
And a genuine interest in learning the lingo of whatever subject he's documenting, and the responses of those he interviews.
He also treats his subjects with a respect that's deeply rooted in humanist principles. He always treads carefully into sensitive topics and usually has a lot of "back up plans" in case the interview goes nowhere. If you look at his old interviews vs his new ones, you realize that he has worked on his craft a lot.
He's the human equivalent to a capybara!!!
I love it how Louis Theroux uses “tidying a garage” as his metaphor for escaping human contact, which is sooo grounded it could’ve very plausibly been literal. Most people generally use quite abstract metaphors before saying “not literally” - which is Louis’ sort’ve candid charm in a nutshell (but not a literal nutshell).
Louis Therouxs impression of someone doing an impression of Louis Theroux sounds more like Louis Theroux than Louis Theroux does
Louis Theroux
I think he pronounces it Jesus which makes it okay 😂 absolute classic
You mean Jesus?
Had me laughing so much😂
@@warren2502 no, Jesús
Which I know it means he sent Justin a link to this 🤣🤣
I met him a couple of months ago in my local pub. He's the nicest guy you'll ever meet 👌🏻so handsome too.
Louis sees all of these questions as just interesting jumping-off points for discussion. Because of course.
not to be dramatic but i'm in love with this man
This man needs a talkshow as soon as possible
He does have a podcast, Grounded with Louis Theroux
Did Louis Theroux study Latin at school? Yes, he uses fora as the plural of forum, even though forums is mostly used today.
He is wittier than most of the people who define themselves as comedians.
"Full disclosure: I have, in my life, done farts."
This is why he's the preeminent journalist of our time folks.
That made me laugh
Just wanted to say I ADORE me some Louis Theroux ANY TIME. He makes me think, he makes me laugh, he makes me love and fear for him -PACKAGE. And that 'I'm stupid, please explain' face only works in his favour. I've been working on mine for years, and find that people LOVE to talk to it. They feel they're Helping.
That's such a good way to describe it and I'm happy for you that you've achieved some degree of mastery over it.
To be 200% honest, Tom Cardy made 2 separate songs about this guy and youtube finally recommended this video to me to explain whom this apparently omnipresent demi-being is.
This
Same, I had no idea who he was till Tom Cardy
Two songs? I only know the one where he’s an omnipotent demon
@@jazmindodds I’m also here due to Tom Cardy, but did you ever find out the second (or first) Louis song? I too only know of the him being an omnipotent being one
@@noodle3218 lol I realized he was referenced in “hey I don’t work here”, at the end he wrote the article
Louis would make a great stand up.
I just love Louis's thorough style of explaining things.
6'2 in a compact, no slack
BBC absolute madlads for editing that smelly fart line to be the cold open
How can you not love Louis ☺️
Stop talking about yourself like that 😆😆
"Long may it continue, I wouldn't like to be attacked by a gang." - Louis the Man. "But it would make good footage." - Louis the Professional haha.
My money don't jiggle jiggle it folds
I truly desire more content from him, I really miss his documentaries. Hopefully he can find the time to do a comeback, myself and many others would appreciate it so much. 🙏
There is some dry humour right there. Louis is a cool and very smart guy.
Louis theroux is our british Jeff Goldblum.
He's a national treasure
I love Louis. Hours of me smiling inside. Long live Louis!
Louis is easily one of my favorite documentary film makers. I can't get enough of his content and thoroughly enjoyed his podcast with Joe Rogan. Thanks for all that you do Louis! Keep up the great work! 🙌
"I enjoy being with my three children and my wife
I'm making myself sound like the most boring person alive."
Get on it Louis, we need another hit right now.
Love to see Louis videos pop up
Thank you for posting this BBC.. we love Louis.
He's actually quite funny. Just another reason to like old louis
Like a fine wine, he’s getting better with age.
This cheered me up- I was so sad, now I'm laughing out loud. Thank you
Hope you’re feeling better. Watching his documentaries is a lifeline 💕
I LOVE the way that Louis treats even the simplest question as a puzzle!
He is so entertaining and the perfect person to front any documentary.
This is the one person who the BBC should pay whatever he asks for to front as much as possible.
Imagine Louis fronting Match of the Day for instance! 😂
Theroux and Attenborough ❤️ xx LOVED THIS THANK YOU
Louis is effortlessly delightful.
Ohmyword I love this man! Absolutely hilarious without even trying.
I never heard about this bloke. But after the Skeptic interview, I now feel I know him. He's like James May. Measured. Mindful. Joyful. A really enjoyable bloke
*When the BBC copies the wired autocomplete interview
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so very very much for your video Louis. ❤️.
Doubt he will be reading this, love
People sleeping on the omicron joke
I'm stealing it and using it at work on Monday. No shame.
You can't help but love this man
Some of my all time fave documentaries he has done are centered on the West Borough Baptist Church. Most people would lose their shit around those types of folk but not Louis, oh no, he handled it like a boss and I'd like to believe he helped influence the young lady that left her family over their views on society
I’m sorry but I saw a different side of Louis in this video! His sense of humour came out and it showed his witty side! Great video!
louis is some lad . love him
I love Louis so much he’s my favourite celebrity
This is fabulous.
He’s 6’ 2” in a compact, no slack, luckily the seats go back!
I agree with the tweet, his voice is very comforting. Somehow, him saying the lyrics of a song without singing with autotune added sounds better than him actually singing it in the song
The most important question is of course: is he aware that his rap is a tiktok meme?
He's retweeted a couple of the videos 😊
And he has a TikTok account and made a video to the rap
Love this guy! Intelligent, educated, open minded, witty, articulate and kind no matter who he meets.
I know it's unlikely, but I would love to see Louis and Andrew Callaghan collaborate or interact in any form since Andrew's cited Louis as his biggest influence. Maybe he could take Louis around some classic Channel 5 locales and characters. Just a thought lol
I'd love Louis to do a album of his rhymes. And some more amazing docs to watch!
Brilliant man, fantastic journalist. Louie, o’ Louie we do love your work.
But you can keep the “king eggy’s”.
He makes me giggle so much😂
I just love him, I’m 32 and discovered him via that viral TikTok but took me the time for looking his documentaries and read his books and I’m in love, he’s a treasure.
Most wholesome content on the internet 😍
This was quite entertaining. Funny too 😅. And educative.
Such a cool character. Some really awkward documentaries and he doesn’t even bat an eyelid
I adore this man so much!
"I have an altitude of about.."😁😁. Can't stop laughing
"Or should I say fora?" ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Love him so much haha!
love louis so much
This is great!❤❤
Legend in the documentary game. 🐐
Handsome, witty and charming 😜!
I love this man
I enjoyed that Louis, Thank you 😁😅🙏
Love this guy
I love Louis, him getting on with the most hardened looking gangstas is heartwarming
Laughed heartily at his witty answers! 😂
I just found out about this man and i love him
I love him, hes my fav
louis is really funny. great sense of humour.
Thanks Louis,I watched the first episode of forbidden America.. Fabulous show,but scarey as. Cheers mate.🇦🇺
Racism and the "far right" has always been a very good news story.
@@splinterbyrd as is anti-semitism and the 'far-left' which has been increasing in the UK for quite a while now. Very scary to see small minded champagne socialists thinking antisemitism is acceptable in 2022.
@@fiddlecastro1453 One thing you have to get in politics Señor Castro is that what people say they are politically and what they actually are often - if not mostly - two different things. So they'll say, We're socialists, when they're nothing of the kind.
Another thing you need to get is that what people _sincerely believe themselves to be,_ and what they actually are politically and socially can be different, almost the opposite. Hence sincere "socialists" in the Labour Party seeing nothing wrong in antisemitism.
They're not socialists of course, not even close, they're dog-eat-dog Thatcherites, only without the church going, and they honestly don't realize it.
I'd like to see him cover the recent rise of the cultists. Has he ever dealt with antivaxxers and/or "lizard people" conspiracy theories? 🦎💉
@@mothratemporalradio517 Instead of "cultists" and conspiracy theorists, who are sad little attention-seekers, and about 0.0001% of the population, Theroux should cover something a bit more important, like the *10000 children* who have died since 2015 in the Yemeni war
Anyone else here after watching Get Louis (Theroux) by Tom Cardy?
This is so good 😂🖤
Hello friend I see you on a right side tell me what you know
~His documentary on Las Vegas was amazing.
Him being puzzled is what i like about his documentaries😂 He always asks the right questions i'm puzzled about.
his David Attenborough impression at 8:05 is really quite good
