As a connoisseur of horrifically bad interviews, I must say this one is a real gem. When the dude from the Vandals goes on a semi-homophobic riff, punctuates it by saying he likes Bjork, looks down at his notes & grimaces, doubles down by saying it louder, and decides to ask her about Kangaroos - I think I had an out of body experience. 10 out of 10.
Yes, but at least the guests in two ferns know what's going on from the start. I don't think this was true in the first few episodes, but even those guests figured it out pretty quickly. Here we have two people from a different culture than the U.S. and although they do get that he's being sarcastic and rude on purpose, I think Bjork was irritated that she didn't get a chance to talk about her artistry in any serious way, which is what she would've preferred.
This was the late 80’s or early 90’s. People didn’t take offense to every little detail of everything back then. I wish this generation would laugh a little more and complain a little less. I really miss that about the 90’s.
I really never worry about B during interviews! If there’s anything she can handle, it’s weird and awkward! She’s like the queen of weird and awkward! Even now in her 80’s she still makes weird awkward strangely beautiful music!
Words can’t describe how painfully funny and awkward this interview is. It reminds me of some of the comments Eric Andre would make on The Eric Andre Show, where he would just deliberately troll his guests, asking weird and bizarre questions, saying things that were totally untrue or unfounded, make offensive jokes and shocking remarks, never letting his guest speakers actually speak, and really just making them feel uncomfortable as much as possible.
Watching the video a couple of times makes it easier to understand what's probably going on in there. The interviewer is not a professional interviewer, he's a member of a punk-rock band named The Vandals, and I'm guessing that one dynamic of the show was to put artists to interview other artists. Also maybe kind of the idea was that the interviewer just be himself asking the questions. Although Björk and Siggi look a little disconcerted with the style of the interview, as if they hadn't been warned about it! Haha and I think that makes it even funnier. And of course, in thirty years the things that makes us laugh and what we consider improper to say have changed, but for my taste the guy is naturally funny :) (Sorry for the bad english and long post 😌)
This actually sounds accurate lol I just think that the interviewer could have gauged the vibe in the room after like 5 minutes and kinda accommodate by shifting his interview style
this is just light hearted and silly, very human, an interesting contrast to interviews later on in her career where they are more formulaic and serious
She was obviously the most intelligent person in the room. Too bad she never got to actually answer any questions. Oh! And props to Siggi for his tour de force delivery of complete and utter ennui.
That was my thought, that if the interviewer would've controlled his anxiety and ego, then he would have relaxed enough to let Bjork fully answer his questions. Then he would've realized how intelligent and interesting she actually is. He didn't give her a chance and was more concerned about his image as the lead in The Vandals than being authentic.

plus, the way she is looking at him at 14:41 as if she feels sorry for him but at the same time maybe she considers giving him a chance
This is so adorably awkward oh my gosh. 😂I love hearing Björk laughing so repeatedly and Siggi crack all his jokes.
It’s like a real “Between Two Ferns”

I never seen Bjork laugh so much in a interview.
Ugh, that terrible feeling when you´re same time bored and shocked.
It’s like a train wreck, you can’t help but watch the whole thing
I do agree with that !!
bjork was not having it
She doesnt seem uncomfortable lmao she just looks awkward because it’s purposely that way. If she wasnt having it she would have left lol
@@Moonlight-mz7mu how do you know?
This guy is just so rude and disrespectful, I think all they could do was laugh.
Nah he was en pointe and genuine

@@dan27052 it's from 1992
Why do some of bjorks fans have to take everything so serious?
@@dan27052 “back in my day...”
“lets start with the ladies... we have one. do you have any boyfriends- what grade are you in?”
So much awkwardness. The fidgety eating, sweating, and the way the keep reaching for the empty cup of food every few seconds.
bjork deserves better interviewer
Probably the best bjork interview EVER
How did this guy get a job interviewing bands? He is making his guests visibly uncomfortable.
this was a hot mess 😂 I love bjork’s style though
Interesting how she cracks her neck lol .signs of stress
The interviewer was actually trolling ..and this is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂 good job
He's just so funny and charming (in his mind).

in her 80’s lmao? she’s like 54
57 now
i don't know why i'm laughing at the fact this guy's name is joe escalante
LMAOOO SAME
The girls are so good looking that in America Bjork is a 10 but in Iceland she’s a 9.5. Her face was priceless. Lol
It really is the Most Awkward Interview. Accurate video title.

14:30 the face she makes says it all!
This was probably the best interview ever
This was excruciatingly hard to get through, but Bjork and Siggi navigated it SO WELL

Дякую, шановна пані.яввд щірого серця.❤
This is an amazing interview! What are people complaint about? Lol
i like that random bass boot that comes in at 7:56
Oh I hope he got fired after this!
this is just light hearted and silly, very human,
an interesting contrast to interviews later on in her career where they are more formulaic and serious
You seem to have a vastly different impression than another group in the comments, do you know why that is? I'm just curious haha
*lol the interviewer is in a punk band called the vandals like he give a fuck he just read and spit random.question* and this is 1992 btw
She was obviously the most intelligent person in the room. Too bad she never got to actually answer any questions. Oh! And props to Siggi for his tour de force delivery of complete and utter ennui.
She usually is....and often the weirdest

This interviewer is hilarious 😂
This man split up the Sugarcubes lol 😂
What a complete car crash.
Man Joe Escalante is funny. Wish he still had that radio show.
He was annoying to me.
Me too
Has the interviewer been detained since?
Being oblivious before the internet= 0 fact check
au contraire mon icefriend is such a hard line wtf
This Guy Gives Me The CREEPS!!
Interviewer : 1, Sugarcubes : 0
Worst awkwardest interviewer ever
13:30 😂
This is the best fucking interview ever
the band split shortly after
Why

This interviewer is Joe Escalante from the stupid band The Vandals
C o c a i n e

This guy played Napoleon Dynamites older brother....
This guy has to be trolling
Sooooo weird.
Yeah, especially when you're used to pre planned bs like Jimmy Fallon. Hahaha, look I'm laughing.
9:01 why ???😂
Honestly I think he’s just nervous and trying to be funny and failing
Has the audio been intentionally been distorted?
even people making the interview are laughing at the guy
4:56 8:45 10:45 - 12:02 13:08 13:45
This is a great interview and Hilarious, Joe Escalante is fucking funny!
27 seconds into it and I'm skipping it, bye!
He's giving me Tedd Bundy vibes
I thought it was funny
"Have you ever seen anything like it?" 🙄
BTW, why does she have different accents through the years? Is it similar to the Madonna thing?
What madonna thing are you talking about?
@jen noury Many people subtly pick up the accents of those around them.
She's lived in a lot of different places
It's a human thing. changes depending on the place the time spent in the place and your sensitivity to the place
It's like when people try to interview Die Antwoord. People from Isolated desolate lands.
What is the interviewers name?
Joe Escalante from The Vandals
OG NARDWAR !
He is annoying not offensive big difference
😂🎉🎉
hahahahaha
This is so cringe. Wtf.
The cringe is too much. I couldn’t last much longer than a minute or two. Americans 🙄
