History Funny / PinkFloyd

** It's a Pink Floyd instrumental where a guy (Pink Floyd roadie and interviewer in ''Live At Pompeii'', Alan Styles) making and eating breakfast. He's mumbling stuff about breakfasts he's had in the past as he does so.

* You mileage may vary on this, but to some, the sole lyric in "One Of These Days" can be comical, as it's edited to be slower and deeper to the point of being such.

* During Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secret's show, Guy Pratt follows up The Nile Song with a monologue about his love for The Nile Song, which would be unnecessary if not for how funny it is. First off, he cites it as one of his favorite songs. He then states the main reason, which was that it was on Relics, which was cheaper than the other Pink Floyd albums. He then tells an anecdote from when he was playing during David Gilmour's On An Island Tour. David was looking for suggestions on what tracks to play on the tour. Reportedly, this ensued:

** Particularly when you look at the recording credits for the ''Live at Pompeii'' version, "Mademoiselle Nobs". Roger Waters: Electric guitar; David Gilmour: Harmonica; Rick Wright: [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Dog.]]

* At the end of the Pink Floyd documentary: "Which One Is Pink", after the documentary tells of what David, Rick, and Nick are doing for their futures, it finally gets to Roger. Who's (jokingly) [[https://youtu.be/cVHGLdZQgEw?t=3440 flipping off everyone in the room]] he's in with both of his hands.

* That ''Look of the Week'' interview with Waters and Barrett. The interviewer is a stuffy old Austrian guy named Hans Keller, who can not contain his absolute disdain of "Them dang dirty hippies and their loud rock music". It's subtle in its inadvertent silliness. Keller needs a bucket of ice water. When Hans says something about "loud sounds making one immune to softer sounds", Roger's {{double take}} [[https://image.ibb.co/mfBvVG/doubletakeroggie_2016_03_01_06_37_58_UTC.png face]] is priceless! Also a subtle SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome because Roger and Syd are absolute, well-spoken gentlemen who answer questions well, don't get angry and don't fall for whatever "traps" and "pitfalls" Keller put out.

** Incidentally, Nick's car was TheAllegedCar, a hunk of junk called a "Chummy". Roger was pretty hard-up for a ride if he's asking to borrow something that Nick joking described as driving so slow that hitchhikers assumed he was about to pick them up. Nick refused.

[[{{Tearjerker}} Some]][[NightmareFuel how]], yes!

-> '''Guy Pratt:''' I think we should play The Nile Song.
-> '''David Gilmour:''' I think you should join a different band.
* And speaking of "The Nile Song"... one memorable Floyd show (West Germany, November 27, 1970 - during which "Several Species of Small Furry Animals" was performed not once but TWICE) featured a loud audience member shouting to hear "THE NILE SONG!" Roger [[https://youtu.be/gBtK0SBPyyI?t=6489 complies by playing]] ''the first chord'' of "The Nile Song," and promptly telling him that's all he's getting.

** As mentioned above, "Several Species" was attempted live on a handful of (VERY rare) occasions, the most notable being its double appearance at the November 27, 1970 West Germany show - where mid-Scottish rant, [[https://youtu.be/gBtK0SBPyyI?t=2547 Roger threatens to kill Nick!]] [[note]]Either that or it's Roger joking about almost killing Nick with a cup of tea (see near the bottom of the page). Otherwise, the whole thing is still unintelligible. It needs a transcript.[[/note]]

-> '''Roger:''' "That was a fucking long three minutes, and I do mean fucking!"
-> '''David:''' "It never seemed as long as this when I was doing it." [a few moments and some weird noises later] "Okay, you can take it out, now."

** It's a hilarious case of MoodWhiplash because you have this regular groovy sixties rock tune and then...suddenly...KAZOOS! [[{{Corpsing}} Even the band can't keep from cracking up.]]

* The epic effort of photographing a giant inflatable pig over the Battersea Power Station for the cover of the ''Music/{{Animals}}'' album. Two days of trying to get a clear shot, with the pig finally breaking free of the lines and floating over to Heathrow Airport. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the incident itself became MemeticMutation and funny as hell. Flying pigs later became a staple of Pink Floyd concerts.

* The background shouting of "Go on, judge, shit on him!" from "The Trial".

** Right before the video ends, you can see Roger. If you thought David looked high, think again. Roger looks BLASTED.

-> '''Roger:''' That was a fucking long three minutes, and I do mean fucking!
-> '''David:''' It never seemed as long as this when I was doing it.

* One day while they were making the soundtrack to Zabriskie Point, they got to the part where they had to start making music for the sex scenes, Roger and David decided instead to fool around and record the both of them moaning (and doing monkey noises for some reason) into the mics.
