History Funny / PinkFloyd

* The epic effort of photographing a giant inflatable pig over the Battersea Power Station for the cover of the ''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 sole lyric in ''One Of These Days'', as it's edited to be slower and deeper to the point of being comical.

--->ALAN: "Breakfast in Los Angeles, macrobiotic stuff..."

** Same for their first "Arnold Layne" promo. Picture TheBeatles "Ticket To Ride" scene from {{Help}}, but get four ''different'' cute musical English lads, film it in B&W, set it on a beach and toss in a male department store mannequin & some UncannyValley "smiling baby doll" masks. That's the first "Arnold Layne" promo.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn51ivJPFzw Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast]]. ALL OF IT.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5lS6ItGWsY Nick Mason VS. pie crust.]] The [[http://oi57.tinypic.com/etcz0k.jpg face Roger makes]] around :22 in reaction to the whole thing also counts.
* 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}} [[http://oi57.tinypic.com/2yx10yx.jpg face]] is priceless! Also a subtle SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome because Roger and Syd are absolute, well-spoken gentleman who answer questions well, don't get angry and don't fall for whatever "traps" and "pitfalls" Keller put out.

* During one of David Gilmour's first television appearances with the band, he briefly turns to the camera and [[http://oi60.tinypic.com/2u5aus8.jpg gives a "What am I doing here?" look.]]

* Roger Waters during a 1977 interview in France....[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18f7x_pink-floyd-sur-antenne-2_music "An alligator makes love to my suitcase."]] Roger's [[http://oi61.tinypic.com/316rss3.jpg "ooh la la" expression]] saying this adds to the funny! (Skip to around 3:25 for the start of the Waters interview). In that same interview, beforehand, Roger mentions a Porsche and when the interviewer is like "Huh?" Roger goes, "Yeah! ''Porsche!'' You know...''VROOM VROOOOOM!''"

*** In fact, [[http://oi58.tinypic.com/4twlua.jpg this humorous photo]] of a very young Nick & Roger might bring that moment to mind.

* Young Roger Waters waltzed into a photo booth one day and [[http://oi58.tinypic.com/3166wpx.jpg this happened.]]

** If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! ''How'' can you have any pudding if you haven't eaten your meat?!

* In the promo for "The Scarecrow", the ending scene has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yBvhIC8d5U Nick and Roger having an imaginary slo-motion gunfight]], complete with Roger (who's a tall, gangly stick) trying to fall down in slow-motion. Roger seems to comically fall down a few times. The outtakes open with RogerWaters [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=869FbWuGB30 humping the ground.]] Yes, the "morose dark jerk" Roger can be very funny and {{Adorkable}}.
