These are just short clips... i do not think these scenes happened in sequence. Eric Andre has said in an interview they do like an hour and a half of interviews and edit it down to the 10 minutes or so that it is. It looks like that dude has been through alot of shit on this show by the time he started getting pissed lmao.
Apparently they seriously fucked with him, here's just a small list of some of them - They put him in 3 layers and a winter coat when the studio was over 90 degrees - They made him wear a dog collar... but not in the usual place - They put a fart machine in his chair - They were dripping water on him the entire time - They made him play Dizzy Bat literally right before he came out the curtain (you can hear the bat drop when he walks out)
He knows how to just go with the flow. The tear starts flowing out for real, and he's just like, hey, I can use this! Something special going on in there. The man's a maverick.
This is the best interview. Supposedly he smoked Salvia, they're dripping water on him, he's wearing a shock collar on his arm, they played "dizzy bat" right before the interview (the game with the stick), and they turn the air conditioners off for the interview. And they edit it all together to make him look crazy.
Hiøtr Björnson Snepill & TheBaxounet The water drops, shock collar, and shutting off the A/C were all mentioned by Eric in interviews. The dizzy bat and salvia I'm not so sure of, more like rumors
I love how in the madness of the show ,whenever a guest starts talking about normal things Eric goes'' what are you talking about man ,you sound insane".
In a podcast interview Eric Balfour said they kept shocking him with hidden electric dog collars throughout the interview, under a leaky pipe the entire time, and during breaks the make up artist powdered his face with menthol. Dude was straight up tortured for an entire hour.
So Balfour plays it off like he had no idea? As a cynic I would assume that as soon as someone even at the level of Lauren Conrad gets taken all agents would be warned to tell their clients. Same with Ali G, yet they both kept doing it over and over and over.
@@illuminotmereloaded6896 Some guests will play along with a bit, but even still there’s always a comfort limit. Eric finds that limit and absolutely violates it to the edge of what he could legally get away with, as long as he can pull 20 funny seconds from it.
@@peterwonaprize I agree with this. But Eric Balfour seems to be saying he was taken by surprise. Were you the one saying he smokes salvia? He does look fucked up. The way he is breathing and touching his hair and face. Hannibal Standing behind that low rider chair.
God damn I wanna see what this interview was like unedited. I think Eric said he gets like an hour and a half with his guests so there is a lot of shit that went down.
My favorite Eric Andre moments is when after creating every chaotic and stress inducing situation possible, he just asks a broken and insane guest "whats wrong with you?"
To those who want to know what's wrong with him, they made him spin around with a baseball bat (hence the wood dropping sound in the background when he enters and him being off balance causing the marble statue to knock over) and a continuous drop of water came down on him from the ceiling acting as an annoying Chinese water torture, that's why he was talking about the ceiling and frustrated. Also, during many of the interviews you can see sweat and complaints about the heat.
I mean, he was also very clearly tripping though. Which must have compounded on the beyond-uncomfortable nightmarish atmosphere they cultivated to make for an impossible situation for the poor guy.
ok the reason he is acting like this is because they are literally torturing him in that chair, the strange reactions are to water dripping on him, the char moving and poking him, foul smell of whatever rotten food they dumped underneath him, and the heat in the room being like five times above room temperature.
Just for the record, I think this is the pinnacle of hilarity and one of the few shows that actually bring out the human in their guests (albeit through fairly advanced torture methods). Fucking bravo sirs. Bravo.
I dunno if anyone noticed this, but I'm pretty sure 1:51 is the only time I've seen eric andre actually almost break character cause a guest reaction makes him laugh. hes telling him how do you expect to have a career and hes looking down, smiling and pretty sure trying hard not to laugh
People taking this seriously trying to actually dunk on the other Eric sound insane. What's going on with you? You should thank the poor man for agreeing to suffer for our amusement so we get to watch this magical dumb shit. You nasty weirdos.
I think this is kinda the desired result. Once they adress the fact shit is completely fkd up, its like "yes! We got em" then it makes it easier to keep the freakout going
It was revealed by Eric Andre that during this episode, they strapped shock collets to the guests' arms and shocked them randomly. This explains the random jumping. 😂
Why is it people can't spell words. Saliva is the liquid in your mouth, Salvia is a purple flower called Sage. Sativa is a species of cannabis, like Ruderalis or Indica.
vaporizethis yeah, someone on the show did it though i've been able to speak on salvia before, mind you it was all incoherent gibberish like saying i was becoming a triangle
1. The make-up artist of the show made Eric Balfour do spins around a baseball bat at the beginning so he got real dizzy (You can hear the baseball bat fall in the beginning) 2. Eric Balfour is wearing a dog collar (with electric shock) 3. The studio is super hot with no airconditioning or anything 4. There is water dripping down at Eric Balfours head through the entire interview, so he is basically going through chinese water torture 5. (Unconfirmed) He smoked salvia before the interview That's pretty much it I think! =) Best interview in television history after my opinion!
Eric Andre's face when Balfour starts freaking out at 1:28 lmao That face just says Eric ia fully god damn aware of everything that is happening to you and he's dubiously but calmly watching you fall apart 😂😄😂
1:11 that lick of the lips and glint in his eye as eric know's he's just reeling the guy in, get him confident talking about his work and then deconstruct every atom of his being
The guests that are aware of this show and the crazy shit that goes on in it are my favorite. It's so funny seeing Eric Balfour, who obviously was put into this show by his manager or something, so tense because he realizes that as soon as he gets comfortable some crazy shit will happen. I think that's why he couldn't finish talking about his book because he was just waiting for it to all unfold
Now that Balfour admitted it himself… you can actually see the outline of one of the shock collars around one of his arms underneath his shirt lol. There’s another one on the other arm too according him. Show was brilliant back then on another level. They really fucked this guy up so he’d come off insane
I really like how despite all the insane shit that has happened on this show the thing that gets Hannibal to question something is Eric saying "Oriental"
I love how he's actually participating in the first conversation. "I mean background actresses are." And Hannibal just keeps interrupting and you can see it piss him off.
The punch line of Balfour insulting Eric Andre's career is that searching up "Eric Balfour" on RUclips has this video show up before *anything* to do with Jesus Hates Zombies
between the dizzy bat , menthol under eyes , shock collar , dripping pipe above him , and the heater on full blast .. this has to be pure torture 😂 kinda almost feel bad for the guy 😂 almost
For anyone wondering, when Balfour says "between the fucking wa-" he's talking about the fact that they keep dripping water on him from the rafters. LOL
he was on salvia. they made him play a game where he had to spin around and hit something with a stick, which is why you hear the stick drop before you see him stumble out (dizzy from spinning + salvia). eric andre asks balfour how he's doing, to which he replies by laughing. by the time he loses it, the salvia has worn off and he has gotten tired of eric andre fucking with him (This is probably 30-40 minutes later)
This dude barges in criticizing Eric's show after he breaks his statue of Michaelangelo's David...
Mr. Cow haha they literally tortured him
These are just short clips... i do not think these scenes happened in sequence. Eric Andre has said in an interview they do like an hour and a half of interviews and edit it down to the 10 minutes or so that it is.

he should release the whole shit lol
he should release the whole shit lol

- They made him play Dizzy Bat literally right before he came out the curtain (you can hear the bat drop when he walks out)
"Tell them about the game, with the stick" I like how they're making him sound like he's completely insane
The best part is they edited it as if Eric was mostly giving a normal interview and Balfour just seeimngly snaps.
@@braddivens5179 I'm pretty sure the 60-90 minutes give them enough material to edit it either way 😂😂
Bruh he succeded. I had no idea of what they did to him and made him do in between the shots, he's right to lash out xD
Yeah, he comes in really dizzy at the start, I think he did that thing where you lean your head on a stick and spin around it.
@@YourPalHDee You can hear a stick falling right before he walks out
That single tear running down Eric's face just cracks me up.
CANNOT STOP LAUGHING hahahah like crying laughing
Art.
He knows how to just go with the flow. The tear starts flowing out for real, and he's just like, hey, I can use this! Something special going on in there. The man's a maverick.
You’re a monster.
Same here
This is the best interview. Supposedly he smoked Salvia, they're dripping water on him, he's wearing a shock collar on his arm, they played "dizzy bat" right before the interview (the game with the stick), and they turn the air conditioners off for the interview. And they edit it all together to make him look crazy.
The ac is actually broke
He said it's too loud and the microphones pick it up, so they shut it off, but it helps to torture the guests anyway
Jason Biggs Where did you learn this?
art garfunkel yeah this post sounds like total bs
Hiøtr Björnson Snepill & TheBaxounet The water drops, shock collar, and shutting off the A/C were all mentioned by Eric in interviews. The dizzy bat and salvia I'm not so sure of, more like rumors
they were shockin' the shit out of this dude apparently lol
no no no, there was water sprinkling down from above
both. they also made him spin before entering.
They electricuted him.and splashed water on him? Oh my god xD
lusteraliaszero you can here the broom stick lol
He's also on Salvia
I love how in the madness of the show ,whenever a guest starts talking about normal things Eric goes'' what are you talking about man ,you sound insane".
This entire interview was the most extreme gaslighting session I have ever seen
It's when they get mad about him.
In a podcast interview Eric Balfour said they kept shocking him with hidden electric dog collars throughout the interview, under a leaky pipe the entire time, and during breaks the make up artist powdered his face with menthol. Dude was straight up tortured for an entire hour.
That’s the show being tortured for an hour and half. He said it on Conan. Use to hate it now it’s just funny
@@quintonlange5323 this was pretty cringe to watch. Not the guest, but the editing. You think this is funny? You're autistic.
So Balfour plays it off like he had no idea? As a cynic I would assume that as soon as someone even at the level of Lauren Conrad gets taken all agents would be warned to tell their clients. Same with Ali G, yet they both kept doing it over and over and over.

He just don't trust like that
Charles Carter what interview is that from? I remember it being really funny
the one where he walks into the car place
do you have any skittles?
You want to see my genitals, that is NOT okay
I'm not saying naked. Open that button
God damn I wanna see what this interview was like unedited. I think Eric said he gets like an hour and a half with his guests so there is a lot of shit that went down.
Dan M ik!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan M there can only be one dan m
Dan M yeah i heard too
I think its 45 min
He smoked salvia, they had water dripping on him, the AC was off, they played dizzy bat with him before
my favorite thing Eric Andre says is "what is going on with you?"
i really like "I love your energy" as somebody is about to beat him up
It's So funny, like just utterly dismissive of their normal reaction.
“Man that guys really hurt.”
Gaslighting at its finest
"What are some a... What do you think?" -Best question Eric has ever asked
I don’t know why that shit made me laugh so hard it’s so fucking stupid 💀💀💀
That is literally one of the most confusing ways to ask a question to someone tripping balls 😅
Man no lie I watched this 7 years ago and I still use this question on a weekly basis too throw people off.
I love how you can clearly hear the baseball bat fall right before he walks out.
Lmfao what the fuck i never noticed that!
😂😂😂 i never noticed either
I always thought that was just some random sound effect as I’ve come to expect from Eric’s show
you sound insane
Your profile pic makes that comment so much better.
he's not on salvia, he's on a shock collar, chinese water torture, a hot as fuck room, and he had to spin around a bat before entering the room.
iwillheadlockyournan right when I read this he said that lol
My favorite part of any Eric Andre episode probably
@Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls that's not how salvia high works he was on acid and fucked with before the he came out
"What's going on with you man, you sound insane."
Most real moment on the show?
Wolfatadoor no cause it's completely hypocritical
Is ironic
They edited the interview to make it seem like he was making no sense so not really
Nah when he got scared by that guy punching the desk
Its not real
My favorite Eric Andre moments is when after creating every chaotic and stress inducing situation possible, he just asks a broken and insane guest "whats wrong with you?"

And he did salvia
@@JohnSmith-qy2fh no, he didnt. you and everyone else in this comment section VERY CLEARLY dont know what salvia is.
He looked like he was on the verge of a complete mental breakdown lol
They literally tortured him lmao
He also had a shock collar on
*fart sound*
Hannibal: Ahhh
probably a bad idea to be tripping balls and walking into Eric's show hahahahah.
loll
I mean, he was also very clearly tripping though. Which must have compounded on the beyond-uncomfortable nightmarish atmosphere they cultivated to make for an impossible situation for the poor guy.
u havent tried yet? cause i saw from the first second he walked in he was tripping haha
he wasn't tripping. he was wearing a shock collar. For fucks sake, this is not how a trip looks.
quaker he wasn't tripping, the reason he walked like that at the beginning was because they made him spin and then pushed him.
ok the reason he is acting like this is because they are literally torturing him in that chair, the strange reactions are to water dripping on him, the char moving and poking him, foul smell of whatever rotten food they dumped underneath him, and the heat in the room being like five times above room temperature.
Rotbeam no
n64 sauce
Yes?
The temperature in the room is 350 degrees farhenheit?
@@sammym4068 no, it's 1,475 degrees Kelvin.
He also smoked salvia
Tell them! What's the game called? With the stick.
What in gods name happened off screen?
They made him play dizzy bat, he wore a shock collar, he smoked salvia, there’s no AC, and they kept dropping water on him
rewatch the beginning you can hear the bat falling on the ground
@@LukeLeonettiRUclips prolly also smells bad in there because they usually hide fish on the set
@@LukeLeonettiRUclips I like to think something darker was going on...
@@ExtremelyToxic being on this show looks like pure terror
Just for the record, I think this is the pinnacle of hilarity and one of the few shows that actually bring out the human in their guests (albeit through fairly advanced torture methods). Fucking bravo sirs. Bravo.

There's an entire video made up of various moments of him breaking character.
Just realized this that’s funny
@@ZuluPoet link
nah he’s not hiding a laugh at all lol
He breaks it during Rapper Warrior Ninja
This is my favorite Eric Andre interview EVER. Every single frame is comedy gold, this guy was just the most perfect candidate for this show
"how do you ever expect to make a career out of this?"
lol wtf is jesus hates zombies
take your time
It's based on a comic book, and 2 years later that's still all we know
People taking this seriously trying to actually dunk on the other Eric sound insane. What's going on with you?
You should thank the poor man for agreeing to suffer for our amusement so we get to watch this magical dumb shit. You nasty weirdos.
@@Siresly wow that was on the perfect spectrum of hating to love
Why are you so against him? It's edited to make him look like an asshole for the show
"Just take your time"
"I don't need to take my ti-..." *flips out*
That moment when somebody finally gets real as shit on the Eric Andre show...
@Rockmaster2112 nah that was just bad temper, eric balfour had reasons to be mad
@@frengkygiovany5152 stfu spectator, easy to just sit behind a keyboard and talk
I think this is kinda the desired result. Once they adress the fact shit is completely fkd up, its like "yes! We got em" then it makes it easier to keep the freakout going
2:06 when somebody compliments you
It was revealed by Eric Andre that during this episode, they strapped shock collets to the guests' arms and shocked them randomly. This explains the random jumping. 😂
Eric once said in an interview that he had a guest smoke saliva on the show, I believe this was that guest.
Alex Chew eewww saliva
salvia*
SALVIA, NIGGA. SALVIA.
WHAT DID HE SMOKE MY NIGGA SPIT OR WEED.
Why is it people can't spell words. Saliva is the liquid in your mouth, Salvia is a purple flower called Sage. Sativa is a species of cannabis, like Ruderalis or Indica.
1:25 the moment Eric realises he’s gotten through to him
Take your time.
Love it when he tries to ask if he hooked up with any background actresses a 2nd time but still mouthed “oriental.” 0:58
Muscle memory. If you are going to say Background Actresses, you go straight to Oriental first.
What the hell is happening?!
I think he's on salvia.
Spooky Spookerson you cant talk on salvia let alone mauintain a sense of self
vaporizethis yeah, someone on the show did it though
i've been able to speak on salvia before, mind you it was all incoherent gibberish like saying i was becoming a triangle

Eric Andre's face when Balfour starts freaking out at 1:28 lmao
That face just says Eric ia fully god damn aware of everything that is happening to you and he's dubiously but calmly watching you fall apart 😂😄😂
This was the peak season... Best band. Best set.
The Eric Andre show is like one of those weird dreams you had but cannot remember what it was about
best interview by far imo
Yeah, it is so perfect!
1:11 that lick of the lips and glint in his eye as eric know's he's just reeling the guy in, get him confident talking about his work and then deconstruct every atom of his being
they blast the heater and turn on the big florescent lights close to then to annoy and make them hot lol
The ac broke and they just rolled with it.
The guests that are aware of this show and the crazy shit that goes on in it are my favorite. It's so funny seeing Eric Balfour, who obviously was put into this show by his manager or something, so tense because he realizes that as soon as he gets comfortable some crazy shit will happen.

They are friends
no he was getting shocked
2:04 one of my favorite Eric Andre reactions yet
Now that Balfour admitted it himself… you can actually see the outline of one of the shock collars around one of his arms underneath his shirt lol. There’s another one on the other arm too according him.
Show was brilliant back then on another level. They really fucked this guy up so he’d come off insane
This interview brought me in tears from laughter. 😂
holy shit im dying after they pushed him into the statue
nah he wasn't pushed. he just walked into and didn't bother trying to stop it from falling
They made him spin with the bat so he was dizzy
By far the greatest Eric Andre interview to date . Legendary
He's already traumatized before he walked out from the curtains.
I really like how despite all the insane shit that has happened on this show the thing that gets Hannibal to question something is Eric saying "Oriental"
I don't know how many times I've watched this. It's great every time.
The way Eric Balfour breaks the David Statue, the sound effect and everyone ignoring it besides Hannibal has me in tears 😭 I cannot stop rewinding it
I love how he's actually participating in the first conversation. "I mean background actresses are." And Hannibal just keeps interrupting and you can see it piss him off.
I feel like i just saw every emotion ever in a span of 2mins here
The single tear always gets me
"How do you expect having a career doing this" Ironically, Eric Balfour had the peak of his career with this interview.
one of my very favorite Eric Andre Show interviews
The punch line of Balfour insulting Eric Andre's career is that searching up "Eric Balfour" on RUclips has this video show up before *anything* to do with Jesus Hates Zombies
He was acting like a total narc.
311 never happened
bird up
very clean!
he got vert b4 da innervuu.
you're pretty good
🤣🤣🤣 I literally searched up eric andre show Jesus and it was the first one to pop up
This scene might be the single greatest televised moment of all time
0:10 the statue 😂😂
That dude was hanging onto his life at an edge of a cliff. He looked like he was going through 5 DMT induced strokes simultaneously.
This was the one that got me hooked, undeniable GREATNESS
I love how the guest is actually made to look more insane than them here
"I don't need to take my time; I'm just saying."
Just beautiful
This has to be the highest guest that Eric Andre has ever interviewed.
Including when Wiz Khalifa was hitting a joint during his interview.
Why does he get so bothered by the desk slap at 1:07?!?! LMAO
He was tripping balls
He's wearing a shock collar on his arm lol. Under his sleeves
this is gold
When Eric Andre says “You sound insane.”
This whole thing was just brilliant.
Balfour's trying to break the 4th wall and Eric's just taking it in stride and making it seem like he's insane lmao.
1:45 Gets me every time, lol!
between the dizzy bat , menthol under eyes , shock collar , dripping pipe above him , and the heater on full blast .. this has to be pure torture 😂 kinda almost feel bad for the guy 😂 almost
The tear gets me everytime.
This is fucking funny as fuck
Corey Holt YEAH!
what are some... whatya think?
Hahahahaha
is is the best interview the show ever had
This is the best interview 😂😂😂
I like to image that he actually shedded a tear while the guest was still there.
''So..... what do you think?''. That's got to be one of my favorite parts of the interview.
there are so many moments here I cant describe
For anyone wondering, when Balfour says "between the fucking wa-" he's talking about the fact that they keep dripping water on him from the rafters. LOL
he was on salvia. they made him play a game where he had to spin around and hit something with a stick, which is why you hear the stick drop before you see him stumble out (dizzy from spinning + salvia). eric andre asks balfour how he's doing, to which he replies by laughing. by the time he loses it, the salvia has worn off and he has gotten tired of eric andre fucking with him (This is probably 30-40 minutes later)
I would give anything to see the unedited version of this interview
There is finally an interview from Eric Andre that I never saw.
One of my favorite videos on the internet
How this video is edited is how Eric Andre sees the world in real time 🤯
This is probably my favorite interview Eric's done. It's so weird.
I love the edited in crying part from eric LOL
The reason he got pissed is because of Eric's super judgemental face at 1:20 lmao
0:02
Look at his dead gaze.
"Why the fuck am I here?"
can't handle the heat of the Eric Andre show hahah
The best. A real fever dream.
This part was genius because for once they seemed the guest look crazy instead of Eric lmao
"I don'tneedtotakemytime, i'mjustsaying"
"what's the game, with the stick"😂😂 and then Eric bows his head in shame😂
This might be the best interview.
2:04 *YOU'RE WELCOME*
For what
this show is incredible
Definitely one of my favorite moments, what are you talking about you sound insane.
0:19: The cellist on the brink of cracking up XD
That transition though
