Funny / David Lynch

• In August 2014, David Lynch was nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. First, he plays—or attempts to play, as he puts it—"Over The Rainbow" on a trumpet, while having two buckets, the first being of ice coffee, poured onto him. Then, he nominates Russian president Vladimir Putin for the challenge.
• Laura "Tidbit" Dern recalls her first time meeting Lynch when auditioning for Blue Velvet:
  Dern: He walked out and I was startled by every aspect of him. And he looked at me, and I was waiting for these magical words, and it was a magical moment, but he went, "...I have to pee."
  • After a particularly good take, Lynch reportedly said the following to Dern:
    Lynch: Tidbit, you'll have them BOLTING for the fire exits!
• While promoting Inland Empire in 2006, Lynch found himself short of funds to purchase ads that would give the film a good amount of visibility. His solution? Sit with a cow next to a busy street with a big sign saying "for your consideration, Laura Dern".
  Lynch: Without cheese, there wouldn't be an Inland Empire.
• His introduction to the Twin Peaks panel at Comic-Con 2017 is a masterpiece in Crosses the Line Twice.
  Lynch: *prying a golf ball out of a corpse's hand* This, supposedly, is the last golf ball OJ Simpson hit before he went to prison in Ne– *static*
