@@Scallion_D Even if cringe and making celebs uncomfortable is the purpose of the show, this dork failed miserably. Can you spot the difference to Ricky Gervais, Conan O'Brien, Graham Norton, or Craig Fergusson getting celebs uncomfortable and asking nonsensical questions? Or Ali G / Borat messing around with people? They are entertaining. This guy is not. And why is it so? Because the nonsense made by the other entertainers isn't just random, boring bullshit. It's created out of the situation. Because they have talent and humor. This guy not. This guy simply isn't absurd and creative enough to create a weird Ali G / Borat situation with his guest, nor has he the charm and witty humor of the other show men to get celebs out of their comfort zone.
@@ironheadfm He wasn't great no doubt. But she should've relaxed more and not been seen so uptight. The previous host Simon Amstell who was rated asked Britney Spears if she'd ever licked a battery and she laughed it off.
@@Scallion_D Yeah, you are right in that regards. She could have been more playful and give nonsensical answers like: Can you juggle cats? - Nope. I am a dog person. Guttural animal noises? - Only in bed...
Are you kidding me? You score an interview with Avril Lavigne and this is the best they can dig up to interview her? She does have a personality only when the interviewer is not a clown.
MrBibi86 that was a one time thing. And if u even bothered to look at her other interviews, you’d see. And the interviewer in the video was so annoying.
Actually it looks like she was possibly not treated well by someone or someones prior to the cameras going on. She is a happy person most all of the times I’ve seen her in interviews. And smiling the whole time she is singing. For her to respond so flatly to this interviewer, to me that suggests that she is not great about faking having a good time. Just my opinion. I have never gotten the slightest sense that she has “no personality” like others here have suggested in the comments.
@xxx yyy Don't know anything much about her tbh to even hate her. I vaguely remember some songs from nearly 20 years ago and that's about it. I was a fan of this show and she just happened to be on it.
@xxx yyy What don't you get? How can I come here randomly? I was a fan of the show POPWORLD in the 2000s (it was a cult show back then by annoying pop stars) and I searched it on RUclips. Evidently this clip came up don't you think?
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear Dax
Oh wow so awkward it hurts, her reaction to the eggs question made me laugh. The interviewer is called Alex Zane and his sense of humour is awkward comedy, she obviously didn't get it.
@@nicbentulan The show was just a fuck about. The joke was these stuck up stars would expect SERIOUS questions about their new album and HOW THEY LOVE IT AND HOW GREAT IT IS. The actual questions are irrelevant really. Check out the Britney Spears one, that's how to deal with it correctly. She was asked if she's ever licked a battery and she took it in good spirits.
For those that don't know, this show was known for carrying out intentionally 'awkward' and obscure interviews as oppose to the usual music journalist questions. Whether you like it or not is obviously up to you of course.
I will be looking for other interviews with her. This company or interviewer clearly did a very poor job of treating her well before cameras went on. And this comes through in the interview. She isn’t fake, and it looks like she couldn’t fake a bad situation and pretend it was good. I have seen before that she is a wonderful young lady.
That's exactly what I was thinking! Something happened before the interview even happened, and you could tell she no longer wanted to participate. She kept looking off to what I assume is her team, probably wanting them to end it.
She needed to play along with it like any person being interviewed should. However, he should have CLEARLY seen that she was into it. He needed to adapt, and he needed to do it quick. But instead, he didn't.. he just kept continuing on with unfunny jokes.
Literally, you have the chance to meet and interview such a famous artist and you ask her "Can you cry tears of milk?" and other dumb shit like that? Come on
I am a HUGE Avril fan, but I really do have to say that I think that it was HER that came across as stand offish and impolite during this interview. Alex Zane by no means is/was the best interviewer, but the whole tone and premise of these Popworld interviews was to be as bizarre and random as possible. It wasn’t ever to be taken seriously and was just supposed to be a bit of fun. If I didn’t know any better and just had this one interview to go off, I would think that the poor girl just doesn’t know how to have a good time. Watch any other Popworld interview from the mid-late 2000s and they are basically satire. Avril just didn’t want to play along and, honestly, I think it made her look worse than it did Alex. Maybe it’s because I’m British and grew up watching this show before going to school every day, but I think that too many people who don’t understand the premise of this show are giving Alex unnecessary flack for what is actually Avril’s issue.
i mean i guess (though i live in canada and haven’t seen any other interviews of this type nor grew up with them) but i do know that avril has the tendency to become uncomfortable in situations like these (especially in her earlier years) i think that she was just really uncomfortable and she probably shouldn’t have done this interview if thats what the theme of it was
That makes sense! It seemed like something happened off camera, beforehand, that maybe put her off.. but her team not briefing her of how the show works, makes a lot more sense.
I wouldn’t be able to not punch him in the face if he was “interviewing” me. Do the record labels really not allow them to just walk out of interviews??!
She obviously didn't get his humour. That can happen, the mistake Alex made was instead of just asking the questions in a normal manor, he carried on trying to be funny and taking the piss.
@@george52797 that's what I mean. I like Alex, and generally do find him funny, but on this occasion he should have just been more formal. Just made for uncomfortable viewing.
She's a dum air-head; she doesn't even get modern-day humour. Most celebs are sociable & play along in these situations. If you don't like interviews, don't accept the invitation. Simple.
@@Rich7714 I know this comment is 2 years old now but HOLY SHIT DUDE, if you genuinely found that guy funny, you probably think Lele pons is funny as well nowadays. And it's not because Avril doesn't have the same "sense of humor" you do that she's not a nice person, I hope you opened your mind in these 2 years and that you're a better person now cause holy fuck lmao
@@tinkbell7784 Notice that I didn't comment on the interviewer, nor his level of comedic prowess. I also have no idea who this "Lele pons" person you mentioned is. I stick to my point, which is that Avril acted miserable & moody like a teen who won't grown up, & could have simply "played along" for the few short minutes that the interview lasted. I wonder - do you consider her to be a role model to aspire to for young adults?
@@tinkbell7784 No, holy shit dude....if you genuinely believe that this snotty faux punk talentless little bitch is a nice person, well then I've got some swampland in Florida to sell ya! Turnip head.
The problem is he's not the best interviewer in the world and she's not the best interviewee because she's shy and not very outgoing, so it's just a clash which results in an awkward interview. I don't think he means to make her uncomfortable and she doesn't mean to be rude, think she just starts to feel on edge too easily.
I don't think she is shy and not outgoing, you can clearly see that in her interviews that she is really friendly and in a good mood. It really was just the interviewer's fault, and definetly not hers. Would anyone feel comfortable if they asked him/her dumb things like he did? Not really, actually
Whether it was intended to be cringey or not it doesn't change the fact that I felt so uncomfortable watching this guy ask the most random questions. But Avril's reactions and face expression just made it so relatable. I think she's one of the greatest people you could be friends with.
She doesn't understand the humor because his act isn't funny, at all. Also, I like how you just HAD to throw "American" in there even though you KNOW she's Canadian. Look, I know all about the EDL, you're not more intelligent than us.
*TruthOasis* Not sure to whom you're speaking, but "American" was probably thrown in for two reasons; there's often discussion regarding the systemic inability for many Americans to understand and resonate with British humour, and most people here stating that they believe his sense of humour to be unfunny *are* American.
@@TashWigley literally everybody outside of the U.K. finds British humor unfunny. It’s not an American thing. But then again England is the most self unaware country in the world, so I can’t be too surprised that the UK doesn’t understand
@xxx yyy certain British comedy is gold. Like jimmy carr. But aside from the occasional People like him it’s generally just a bunch of dry dry dry dry humor, and then leaving awkward silences and hoping people laugh.
Remember when girls wanted to be and look like Avril Lavigne,Hayley Williams,and Amy Lee? Instead of the fake and plastic Kardashians,Jenners,Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Those were the days
Interviewer is just being lighthearted and non-sequitur in a typical British way, why is she so hostile lmao - couldn't she have just lightened up and played along? She seems completely bereft of social skills and personality.
She may have just seen it as someone making fun of her, thought she was 'above' his humor, or was just completely confused. Perhaps a bit of each, but given her expressions, also the result of a fair ego. The comedy here would probably have to be back and forth between both of them in order to work. Perhaps Canada just drives on the complete opposite side of the road when it comes to comedy, but I doubt it
She's hardly hostile, but obviously not everyone will find those jokes funny... Is she legitimately wrong for not laughing and playing along? Come on now.
To everyone criticising Alex Zane and kissing Avril's backside... this isn't the first time she's been awkward in an interview. Reading teenage mags back in the day; several celebs have called her difficult during interviews, including Emma Willis. Watching her fiddle with her hair that much was more annoying
I think the guy asked reasonable, relevant questions and was trying to spice things up a bit towards the end. Seems like Avril just had one of those days.. wasn't rly in thr mood. Or she is just very unfriendly.
I don’t think it was much of the interviewers fault. Although the questions were weird lol. Avril seemed shy. Some people can’t handle weird questions. And there is people who can handle them. So it wasn’t much of her fault either
Anyone thinking she was rude or off or this didn't go well...that guy is a notorious "too cool for school" guy who thought he was an adgy tv host and tried to make the show about him every time he did anything. Nobody liked him when he was on tv.
I analyzed this interview a bit. To me, it seems that the interviewer is "flirting" a bit with her. She does not really "respond" to the flirting, so he tries to "ridiculize" her and the proposal a bit at the end by asking these egg questions and whether she has these "weird" super powers or not. All in all, I think it is just "human" nature to feel attraction towards somebody, but of course, this interview could have been done a bit better and more "enjoyable" for the viewers.
Watch the older interviews with Avril, dude. She had a fire personality, and even when toned down, she had opinions and things to say. It doesn't make sense. Either Avril needed some time off and her management employed a double to keep her appearances up, or Avril is just on some strong as shit antidepressants that have murdered her zest for life. Not sure which is more depressing... ruclips.net/video/XrkIEMEkJbc/видео.html
this guy is trolling like hell :| imagine your a rock star and got asked by egg smell WTF? ACTUALLY U CANT BECAUSE U'RE NOT A ROCKSTAR AND SHE İS NOT A BRAT :|
Lol this show was a music comedy show, the previous 2 presenters had just left after 6 years and were very funny. They got this guy and another guy to replace them and they couldnt really pull off the jokes very well and it came across odd so they cancelled the show after 1 year.
Alex zane is doing his best russel brand impression. And tryinh to seduce her - the leaning on his hand, open body, lingering stare.. cant really blame him but she was not having any of it lol
People can say what they want about Britney Spears but compare her Popworld interview to Lavigne's. Night and day. Spears was asked if she's ever licked a battery and she laughed it off more or less.
@xxx yyy Alex Zane wasn't great, he was certainly no Simon Amstell. Never really liked him tbh. But Avril Lavigne should've took a leaf out of Britney Spears' book.
This is me on the first date with a girl.

She may have just seen it as someone making fun of her, thought she was 'above' his humor, or was just completely confused. Perhaps a bit of each, but given her expressions, also the result of a fair ego. The comedy here would probably have to be back and forth between both of them in order to work. Perhaps Canada just drives on the complete opposite side of the road when it comes to comedy, but I doubt it

Either Avril needed some time off and her management employed a double to keep her appearances up, or Avril is just on some strong as shit antidepressants that have murdered her zest for life. Not sure which is more depressing... ruclips.net/video/XrkIEMEkJbc/видео.html
Chicken shop Date is a great example of how to do what this guy was trying and failing miserably to do
Whoop whoop.
her little fake laugh when he says sunflowers!
he's clearly not as experienced as she is at interviews omg he's the definition of awkward omg he's so annoying
..and that’s his strength
*1:05** how awkward! poor guy, I'm not suprised! just look at her meet and greet photos*
this guy is trolling like hell :| imagine your a rock star and got asked by egg smell WTF? ACTUALLY U CANT BECAUSE U'RE NOT A ROCKSTAR AND SHE İS NOT A BRAT :|
She does come across rude here. Taking herself too seriously.
Lol this show was a music comedy show, the previous 2 presenters had just left after 6 years and were very funny. They got this guy and another guy to replace them and they couldnt really pull off the jokes very well and it came across odd so they cancelled the show after 1 year.
Alex zane is doing his best russel brand impression. And tryinh to seduce her - the leaning on his hand, open body, lingering stare.. cant really blame him but she was not having any of it lol
Nobody knew who Russell Brand was back then.
@@jockmackay9582 They did. This interview was in 2007, Brand was known by then.
@@Scallion_D he was unknown known tbh
She just doesn't get the humour at all. Not the funniest guy in the world but hey that was pretty funny.
+joe dowd you must be trolling, I can't take you seriously
+joe dowd I've seen more intimidating things in my toilet bowl
I am guessing Joe has removed his comments because I have no clue what is going on here.
THE INTERVIEWER'S A DICK
she was just having an off day like we all do
People can say what they want about Britney Spears but compare her Popworld interview to Lavigne's. Night and day.
Spears was asked if she's ever licked a battery and she laughed it off more or less.
@xxx yyy Alex Zane wasn't great, he was certainly no Simon Amstell. Never really liked him tbh.
But Avril Lavigne should've took a leaf out of Britney Spears' book.
girl did not want to be there lmfaooo
aaand the best worse interviewer award goes to...
u
she’s clearly so uncomfortable i feel like he was hitting on her before the interview and he kept emitting this gross aura
