History Funny / TheEricAndreShow

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzMGEubTEV0 This or That?]]", one of the few times where ''Eric'' is the victim of the insanity. [[{{Calvinball}} Nonsensical questions are asked]], and Eric is punished (mostly by hot coffee to the face) no matter what response he gives.

* Music/HenryRollins [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv4D0o41Aj8 does a monologue about frozen yogurt.]]

** At one point, Hannibal, [[OverlyLongGag clearly fed up]], tells Eric point-blank to just start the show... where Eric pauses in his destruction to tell Hannibal he's busy.

* The segment where a middle-aged white man walks out onstage [[FanDisservice with his penis hanging out]] and claims to be [[BlatantLies Hannibal's father.]] What's even better is that Hannibal [[EnforcedMethodActing wasn't told about the bit beforehand]] and his reaction was totally unscripted. And then there's Nick Cannon's reaction, who's just left forgotten on the stage and is extremely uncomfortable throughout the whole thing.

** This is of course after he just punched Eric's desk and left, scaring the crap out of both of them and making them think that he'd had enough and walked out on them. The best part is that [[ThrowItIn the punch was unplanned]] and both Eric and Hannibal [[EnforcedMethodActing were legitimately startled by it.]]

** "FUCK ALL Y'ALL! FUCK ALL Y'ALL! WARP-SPEED DON'T RAINBOW-READ ME NIGGA! AAAAAAAAA-!"

** Scat auto-tune from the same segment.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPt6DeMZTk0 "Who Can Hold the Most Babies"]] is some of ''the'' most potent CringeComedy the show's ever had. Notably, Hannibal doesn't even ''bother'' with the bit, opting to keep to himself rather than disturb the children. Eventually, Eric gives up and completely breaks character, moaning "[[WhoWritesThisCrap I hate this bit,]] [[EveryoneHasStandards I made a kid cry]]", with the whole segment ending on [[CrossesTheLineTwice a freeze-frame of the child's crying face]].

** There may not be any sight gag in the show's entire history better than Eric [[ADateWithRosiePalms jacking off]] [[RefugeInAudacity right in front of Harry while simultaneously reading]] ''Literature/{{Dianetics}}''.

** When Eric attempts to interview Alex Jones (using a mic stand the size of a flagpole), Alex incorrectly identifies him as ''”[[{{Creator/TrevorNoah}} the Daily Show guy]]”'' and tells the crowd gathered around him to bring on stage. What ensues is Alex asking Eric nonsensical questions (''still under the guise that he’s Trevor Noah'') with Eric giving equally nonsensical answers.

-->'''Eric''': Why does my...why does my Pee Pee come out yellow?

** It's worth mentioning that the second video is "''Near'' the Democratic National Convention" because their presence at the RNC [[RealityEnsues got their press passes revoked]].

* Creator/JackBlack is hooked up to a lie detector test and is [[ElectricTorture shocked]] every time he says something, whether it's a lie or not.

* In the Creator/KrystenRitter [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7thvB5hS-c interview]], Eric says that he has a clip of her new movie. [[FiveSecondForeshadowing The fact that she has no idea what he's talking about should be a sign.]] [[ShockingSwerve He then shows a clip of]] [[spoiler:[[ShockSite "2 Girls 1 Cup".]]]] Cue Krysten's horrified reaction, and Eric calling her "her own worst critic".

** Both the Omorosa and Demi Lovato interviews, which seem as though neither of the women were warned about the nature of the show and seem to obliviously walk in expecting a standard late-night talk show. Even better, the Omorosa interview lasts so much longer than it needs to that [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she eventually just gets up and walks out amidst the chaos after about two full minutes of no interaction]].

** Demi Lovato [[PrecisionFStrike saying what the fuck]] at the end of her segment. At the time, she was still mostly known for her Disney related projects and had only recently transitioned into less kid-friendly roles. So to hear her use any type of profanity was as equally jarring as it was hilarious.

** [[CallBack And of course,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAsf9OXSynE in Season 5]]: "I wish I was Lance Reddick. ''I wish I was Lance Reddick!'' '''''I WISH! I WAS! LANCE MOTHERFUCKING REDDIIIIICK!!!'''''

* Eric pauses one sketch to extensively insult Hannibal's appearance and taste in dress. Hannibal responds with an [[MoodWhiplash impassioned monologue]] about [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech he doesn't mind Eric's insults, because his mom taught him to believe in himself and his brothers taught him to be strong]], concluding the speech by saying "[[MoodWhiplash Also]]...[[SophisticatedAsHell you a bitch-ass nigga.]]"

** Hannibal explaining to Harry what he'd want his fatality to be if he was a VideoGame/MortalKombat character - killing the enemy by throwing apples at them, [[CherryTapping over and over and over]]. And then Hannibal demonstrates what it would look like. This goes on [[OverlyLongGag for nearly thirty seconds of screentime.]]

** The absolute best has to be when Eric has a wire hooked up to his back, and proceeds to destroy the set like a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ZFE_EqaNA rag doll]].

* The 2012 New Years Eve special ends abruptly when [[spoiler:Eric discovers that all the crew members are Mayans, who proceed to [[CrossesTheLineTwice sacrifice him on live TV to please their God.]] [[SkewedPriorities Eric then thanks all the celebrity guests]] [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction as he's being cut open.]]]]

--->'''Eric:''' ''[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext (to Lovato, while eating a plate of spaghetti)]]'' You are my knight in shining armor...you are the wind beneath my wings...I think you're great...[[NonSequitur And I'm ready for some football.]]
** Demi Lovato [[PrecisionFStrike saying what the fuck]] at the end of her segment. At the time, she was still mostly known for her Disney related projects and had only recently transitioned into less kid friendly roles. So to hear her use any type of profanity was as equally jarring as it was hilarious.

** At one point, Hannibal, [[OverlyLongGag clearly fed up]], tells Eric point blank to just start the show... where Eric pauses in his destruction to tell Hannibal he's busy.

* Wrestling/ChrisJericho's "interview". The ''moment'' that the poor man sits down in the chair, Hannibal starts stuffing pancakes into his mouth while screaming and sobbing. Eric then asks "So, how did you get your [[OverlyLongGag staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...]]" and starts convulsing with his eyes rolled back in his head for a full minute. Jericho just stares into the middle distance with an expression of total bafflement, and doesn't say a ''word'' the entire time. The interview ends with Jericho falling through the set's floor.

* [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Tyler, the Creator]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVhme1eb8SI 's first act]] upon being in the show is to shove Eric's globe over, and then the whole desk. [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs He was sober, by the way.]] What sells it even more is the look on Eric Andre's face, like he just met a man whom is just as insane as he is.

** The ending of the interview, in which a random balding fat guy runs on stage, grabs the mic from Eric, and demands [[BreathlessNonSequitur "Investigate 3-11!"]] before he and Eric start [[Music/ThreeEleven dancing]]. Tyler, after a few confused seconds, promptly joins in.

* Creator/SethRogen's interview. "I don't piss on my wife, if that's what you're asking." [[MoodWhiplash (applause)]]

** Hannibal flat out casually admits that he sometimes when he's high, he thinks this show is a ploy for Eric to kill him.
* Creator/JackBlack is hooked up to a lie detector test, and is [[ElectricTorture shocked]] every time he says something, whether it's a lie or not.

* The entirety of the notorious Bird Up! Episode, which derails into complete insanity, even for the show's standards, and becomes one of the most hilarious and surreal episodes of the entire series.

-->'''Eric''': (is force fed milk; gags and spits it up) Definitely spoiled! (correct ding; [[KickTheDog hot coffee to the face; coffee pot smashed against head]])
* Eric's interview with Harry Shum, Jr., where Eric introduces him as a cast member on "[[TakeThat one of my least favorite shows]], ''Series/{{Glee}}!''"

* "Chef" Rory Scovel shows us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnDNZ1WWWmQ how to cook like a pro]], gradually getting more and more depressed as the skit goes on, until he begins SuddenlyShouting about the futility of existence and suffers a ''complete emotional breakdown'' on stage. [[spoiler:Of note is Music/TPain (barely intelligibly) singing the National Anthem near the end of Scovel's breakdown, and Andre commenting "can't wait to try that at home" when Scovel [[ChewingTheScenery dumps the entire chef's table onto the floor]] and bursts into tears, collapsing in the midst of a full existential crisis. The skit ends with T-Pain abandoning the Anthem entirely and screaming, firing a gun into the ceiling as Scovel sobs on the floor.]]
-->'''Rory Scovel''': Now whe're getting into a nice sizzle which is what everyone says is good, that means it is going to taste [[SoundEffectBleep f**king]] amazing, '''''[[HeroicBSOD THERE IS NO GOD!]]''''' ''Once we f**king die, that's it!'' (''smashes a cup on his hand'') '''''CHRIST!''''' (''he begins grinding the broken glass into his hand, screaming and bleeding profusely'') '''''GYAH''' YOU KNOW WHAT COOKING IS, ERIC? IT'S F**KING PAIN!''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YojvKOvLRqg Ariel Pink's performance!]] A HurricaneOfPuns on Ariel Pink's name which ends with him going crazy and tackling Eric's desk.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBpcsK_OaR4 Kraft Punk's entire character]], a guy dressed in the same fashion of [[Music/DaftPunk Daft Punk]] that does cheese based "pranks" and talks with a text to speech program. Ironically, Eric and Hannibal despise him and think he's unfunny, despite the fact that his "pranks" are very similar to those that Eric does.

-->(''Hannibal'' '''[[RoundhouseKick roundhouse kicks Flavor Flav in the face]]''' ''as the "We'll Be Right Back" freeze frame appears'')

* During the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yet2Q0M32GQ Black Scientologists]] sketch, another crazy guy on the street threatens to steal Eric's thunder by claiming to be the [[AGodAmI second coming of Jesus Christ.]] Eric demands that he prove his godly powers by taking a poop in front of them, and then [[RefugeInAudacity turning it into wine.]]

* Creator/LanceReddick sporting a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration VISOR and combadge]] while [[CrossesTheLineTwice dressed as a slave, complete with chain wristcuffs]] while rapping "I wish I were Creator/LeVarBurton..."

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPt6DeMZTk0 "Who Can Hold the Most Babies"]] is some of ''the'' most potent CringeComedy the show's ever had.Eventually Eric gives up and completely breaks character, moaning "[[WhoWritesThisCrap I hate this bit,]] [[EveryoneHasStandards I made a kid cry]]", with the whole segment ending on [[CrossesTheLineTwice a freeze-frame of the child's crying face]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG9JbqcC-i8 The entirety of Eric's interview with Nardwuar]]

** Wiz Khalifa holds out his cigarette to George as a peace offering.

* Arguably, every episode begins with one, where a fully-primal Eric utterly demolishes the entire set in different, creative ways... only for it to be replaced and look brand new in ''literally three seconds,'' the implication being that this happens often enough that the crew have multiple sets on standby.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQdR3AIhg-c 311 is finally investigated.]] Among the highlights are Nick Hexum getting waterboarded, Eric beating up S.A. and Tim Mahoney, and then [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext T-Pain coming out, asking "WHAT ABOUT T-11?", maniacally laughing, and then following up with some Auto-Tuned mumbling]], only for Eric to beat him up as well.
