Robert Smith's Quirky Wit - Interviews & Stuff
Вставка

- "That's what I like about Smithy, he's a very paradoxical character. Everything he is, he isn't. He's very pretentious but he isn't. He`s always black yet he's white and The Cure are one of the stupidest bands you could ever work with yet they're the brightest, the most intelligent. They're the noisest but they can be the quietest - that's what I love about them. Robert says he's like a child but he isn't, he's too intelligent."
Tim Pope, 1986
At a concert in Adelaide AU he stopped midway through a song and told the audience he had a funny thought "A dyslexic devil worshipper sold his soul to Santa", and just picked up and continued where they left off.
THAT IS PURE COMEDIC GENIUS
@Lima Charlie FAITH: the funniest comedic album of all time.
When was this, they need to perform in adl again!
@@TyrellBonneymusic 1992, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
That’s a very clever joke! I like it!😅
I love how he wants to be funny and silly but he's so generally anxious that he always just ditches and goes back to being straight faced. It's hard to articulate but as someone with a similar disposition its very easy to notice.
The fidgeting and awkward motions give it away big time.
Yes i think so too. People might label as thats just how he chooses to present himself, but honestly it just comes down to being awkward. But its very refreshing to see that from someone who is supposed to be a cocky rockstar
same here. Im the same way, I wasthinking this as well. I really appreciate artists that you can relate to. Makes the music so much more meaningful, cause you can relate in a way to what they are saying. and see yourself in the music
Holy shit I know exactly what you mean, that's just like me.
“I keep them in a small dark room” he looked serious 💀
He is shy, but has a wicked sense of fun,, it's there in his eyes.
He's not shy he's just quiet
@@thunder_heads he's lost and lonely, and strange as angels, but just like heaven.
@@johnfisher697Well done 😂😂👏👏
He is the most non fake person ever. Not one part of him wanted to impress people.
Oh he is fake and possessed. He doesn't even believe any of it is real himself and he knows non of it is his. He tells you that in his lyrics. And he is all about impressing people. It's why he sold his soul. Watch and listen. You don't even need to read between the lines.
@@djscott9207 i think u forgot to take your pills love
@@minamogwai5400 No darling. I didn't. It's based.
@@djscott9207 it really isn't based. You get what you see with Robert. He is just a normal guy with a ridiculous talent.
“Are you as excited as me?”
“By the sound of it, no”.
I don't care what anyone says, Robert is such an adorable man. I love his witty sense of humor mixed with his sweet demeanor.
He really is a comedian underneath it all
"all musicians want to be comedians and all comedians want to be musicians". It's quite true.
@@astralbeast8177 so true...
He is really a true comedian in his heart
Oh man he’s the most adorable freak out there
Dude looks like my mom after she takes ambien.
"By the sounds of it, No" - This guy could be a comedian if he wasn't a singer. 🤣
Haha Robert is such a funny guy. The interviewers are trying to portray him as a serious person and he's just taking the piss constantly.
The cutest and crazy mad leader of The CURE. A smoothie and acid artist. Love him since I was a teenager. The older he grows, the better he is
He is insanely attractive, isn't he. Very interesting and genuine man.
All the greats are shy introverts like Prince & Robert Smith
Michael Jackson .💜🙌🙏
Jimmy Hendrix as well
Neither Prince, not Michael Jackson, hold a candle to the talent or personality of Robert Smith!
Kurt Cobain and John Frusciante as well
@@aquaticshimmybrack3730 ❤
He's the minister of gloom when he sings and a giggling imp in interviews. You gotta love the guy.
The exact kind of statement that would make him pull a funny face.
💀💀💀💀💀
The episode in South Park where he fights Barbra Streisand as a lullaby is an honest tribute to him!!
Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers 🤣
3:42 they banter like little kids and it makes the interview so much better
14:15 the fact that he just screams and then bounces away is hilarious
7:07 robert smith nervously explaining general relativity for some reason? Love it.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂
I love how freaking funny he is! I love that he's genuine nothing fake there!🖤
I fell in love with the Cure when I was 10 and 37 years later I still can't get enough.
Funny, I fell in love with The Cure when I was 37 and 10 years later I haven't had enough!!!1!
I love the way he comes off as being slightly bashful, he is sweet and funny! ❤️
Robert is absolutely beautiful.
And I often just smile watching interview with him. Love his dry sense of humour, body language and good energy.
But, Robert, people who cannot swim not necessarily will swim when you throw them into water. My acquaintance told me how she went to bottom of river like a stone, when her friends threw her on depth. They jumped to save her then.
Huge thx to whoever put this together. Too many good retorts. This put me in a very good mood.
I friggin love this man!! He's funny, smart and hell of a talent. We're around the same age so it's been a fun ride following his career since the 80's. Love me some Cure. 🌚
Get off with him then.
Until a year ago, I thought they were mopey and gloomy and jangly. Wow, was I wrong. The Cure is deep and cosmic, I love them.
The same
Ha haaa. He's so sweet and so timid and so real. His music is timeless and also served as my safety blanket through the four-year-long trauma otherwise known as high school. Much love to you, Mr. Smith. Thank you for being you. :)
I love his energy hes quietly confident. Love to talk to him
Ironic they're called the cure , and literally cure people's mood and state of mind. Legend
Yeah its funny. I love depressing music but yet they're called "The Cure"
Well said. Best live band. Blessed to have been able to see them at Sydney Opera House with my brother!! Rob is so humble.
@@ericcarrington1791 Some of their music may be described as "depressing" by people...i prefer the words moody, introspective, serious maybe? lol...
But most of their music is uplifting
I reckon. Pictures of You, Friday, High, etc etc,..Some are flippant - Love Cats. Mint, etc
I've come to absolutely love & appreciate The Cure better this past 10 years because of my brother.
Cheers
@@MaryMartinish I agree. Depressing is the last term I'd use to describe them. For me , their albums have become almost like a shamanic journey the are so introspective..
That is the opposite of ironic. The word you want is sincere.
I've been listening to The Cure for decades, and have never found them to be "gloomy". Maybe those who say that should listen harder.
"I should be King!" -R Smith
Love it!
When I was a kid listening to Depeche Mode in the living room, my mom asked me why do I like this music, it's so depressing? I didn't understand the question.
he's still cute and adorable. i don't care what anyone may think. I've always liked the guy!
great collage. When a lot of these interviews came out I didnt have a chance to see these. After all these years listening to their music this is nice to see.
I have such a crush on him ! I just saw him live and even in hes 60s I have the hots for him !!!
Gosh, I love him so much. So hilarious and charming.
Awesome guy. His comments about the monarchy = priceless.
well you can only get asked stupid questions for so long before you have to respond like he does , brilliant wit
man all the best artists are trolls, Bowie, Robert, Mark Mothersbaugh and Geartld Casale, Mike Patton, Maynard, Omar and Cedric, love it
Chris de Burgh...
Dude - the hair. Genius - I love this man in a very heterosexual way. He is amazing
love the way he he deals with stupid questions as he trys to no laugh at them
20M reasons I love this artist
his wit is wonderfully fab.
No one’s gonna talk about how he called the queens death!?
Queen Elizabeth and he share a birthday.
I ❤ Robert smith.
Lmfaoooo i want to hug him so bad
Happy Birthday Mr Robert Smith !Legend!Greatest band ever and will ever be
The royalty rant was my favourite 🤴
love the thumbnail. Pure art
I have never heard him speak! Noel Feilding sounds exactly the same & the mannerisms are accurate 😱
He's got the voice of a cheeky young boy!
The answers of Spanish interview! Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Robert Smith is my hero, idol... a personality I can relate to. What Tim Pope has summed in the description mentioned here is exactly what Robert Smith and the band The Cure is all about. May God bless the band with the best of health and everlasting happiness.
Thank god for Art. Robert is a gift.
6:28 is hilarious 😎🤠
I love his authenticity!
INFP, baby!
My friend turned me on to the Cure in 1980 and the White Stripes in 1990. He was a good and smart friend! 👏🏻
The White Stripes didn’t exist in 1990.
this should be titled""Robert Smith answers idiotic questions of the illiterate media"
Adorable man. So charming and cute 🥰🥰
I met him after his concert in Sacramento California- I was a Taco Bell drive-thru worker. 7/4/92
I loved his comments on honors and the (un) royal family.
En mi humilde opinión ...
Musico y artista vanguardista fuera de serie y con un talento influenciado por el resto de la historia....
Sincero
Emocional y muy muy talentoso...
robert smith😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
I like some of your tracks, Mr. Smith. 🥰🤗💖🇨🇦
10:44 when the little kid hands him a beer. 🙃
Love you Robert Smith !
I LOVE HIM HES SO CUTE
He's so cute.
I'm not even a fan of his band but always click on his interviews, just because I find him to be very intelligent and really entertaining and funny!
Robert is amazing, but the ‘everybody can swim’ claim isn’t true. I did what he said when I was 8 years old and nearly passed out and drowned. I was rescued and told off very harshly by a racist swim pool guard who probably would’ve left me to drown if other witnesses weren’t around.
Rip to his parents Rita & Alex xxxxx
Older Robert is so funny lol
I wish I could hug him
Rob you are a forever legend!! thanks for bringing common sense to humanity with your craziness :)
It's the way of the Coyote!
Robert is a very cute kitten 😸 😍 ♥ ❤ 💕
Frankly, he is just always a few steps ahead of his interviewets. "I should be king."
I love Robert and The Cure. Awesome music.. ❤❤❤
i love you robert the singer
fkn guy never changed for anyone.
How the fuck did Robert make it through the interview with the Greek presenter at around 7:00 to 8:00. It would have been excruciating. But he somehow nailed it. I think Robert likes a drink, and it helps.
He could have been a comedy writer for Monty Python
he's so funny
King Robert
Bless him ❤️
I never knew this dude was so funny....
...thanks for the memories...super fun!!!...xxoo
love that german interview..I keep them in a small dark room
100% loved this!
Now I know where Tim Minchin gets his quirkiness.
Im not gay at all but I am a little gay for Robert Smith lol
my father is low key homophobic unfortunately, & even he is a little gay for him
Everyone’s a little gay for Robert smith
Beautiful man! ❤️
amazing haircut
He’s fing Amazing!!! This edit is, too ❤
if i ever meet him im just going to say thank you for your music
0:32 dangggg
He seems like he is autistic based on his use of words, quirks, social awkwardness, etc.....I have autism, I love the Cure and I SWEAR he has Aspbergers. So - he is a genius!
yes! i am also autistic & i’ve always seen signs in him too
I'm laughing so much
Damn Icon . Robert is just Robert , fame may have given him money but fortunately has changed him little since his days in Crawley .
Actually, yes, Robert Smith SHOULD be king!
This is classic!!
The Cure ! 🖤 Robert Smith ! 🖤
Robert Smith is on the same level of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Everyone else are followers.
5:52 "thats where i wanna be :D"
The RnR Hall interview was the best!
