Fred Armisen is a pretty underrated talent. This guy is awesome, he can do anything. He's a comedian, actor, a writer, a director, producer, he can play guitar, drum, he can mimic different accents, etc. He's a very talented and well rounded artist.
His musical numbers on SNL always killed and were so diverse - Blue Jeans Committee, the hardcore band at a wedding (with Dave Grohl), the Bossa Nova (with Alec Baldwin). I could go on...All gold, and so different!
@@neutron5000 just something many guitar players do, that's not essential in playing the d-chord. They basically alter the chord (which is easy to do, just change one finger) to a sus chord. It's funny (not as in a joke, but as in "funny observation") because you don't have to do that, you can just play a D chord. But because it's so easy, many automatically will go for that "trick"
I love the ska part at the end. Jimmy getting up and skanking with the Roots (it is the the Roots still, right?) joining in and adding a full band. Absolutely beautiful.
Being Norwegian. That song wasn’t far from the real deal! Very well done! Lyric goes: "Fløy en liten blåfugl, gjennom vindu gjennom vindu, gjennom vindu Fløy en liten blåfugl, gjennom vindu - en dag i mai"
Got to see Fred’s show tonight in Oxford, it was very similar! Afterwards he allowed my dad and I to meet him before he got on the bus and he was just so kind. What an all-around great guy 😊
I love how Jimmy Fallon is a talk show host who interviews people, and he comes up with this great bit: "I'll ask my guest different questions...." revolutionary!
I'd expect nothing less from the restless, groundbreaking creative pioneer who uses television to play Pictionary, sing pre-existing theme songs as Neil Young, and giggle through movie scene re-enactments. No one brings more to the table that was already at the table before he brought it.
@Clay Chiarelott the reason i watch any clip of comedy, is... i think i might laugh...I don't understand you...why are you trolling me...I just think it's funny...simple...it's funny...I don't care about Jimmy...He was hilarious when i was ten...sometimes he's still funny...I'm open minded, and i give people a chance to be funny...I hope Jimmy has a lovely day, and i really don't care...I love the premise of his show..a talk show...the bit i think is funny because it has the same premise as the show itself....please reply...I love wasting my time talking to trolls...it makes me laugh...You miss, I hope are laughing too...it's what it's all about. peace sister.
Fred is a legend. Fred is godlike with his comedic timing. Only an appearance of a talent like Fred could make me watch and engage with the ever-breaking Jimmy Fallon…
This is just what I needed on a Friday night.. eating pho 🍲 .. and drinking a glass of wine 🍷🥳🥱 Watching both of you guys crack me up! We love ya’ll both! Much Aloha 🤙🏽 from Hawai’i ❤️🏄🏽♀️
Fred is right spot on with ska in Chile, just check out Los Miserables or La Floripondio, but I think even more in argentina with even more fusioned styles like Los Cadillacs, Los Pericos or even 2 minutos. What a talent!
😂🤣😂🤣 giving back the guitar. Straight SNL but 👏👏👏👏. I like how Fred literally makes you think on music styles from around the world. He’s actually very on point.
I remember when he and Carrie peeked around a corner on Portlandia! Waiting for breakfast, wanting to check out the table early; they loved breakfast so much.
I went to school with Fred and he nicknamed me Milk because one day I drank milk.. it stuck and kids bullied me for the rest of my school years. It really hammered my self esteem but after years of studying and working hard, I'm now the 46th, current president of the United States.
@@ryanyoung2742 well I'll be a tall glass of 🥛 milk.. if it isn't Ryan "reproductive system" Young from year 8 Biology class.. what's the good word? Do you remember when Fred tried to light a fart and the classroom stunk of burnt hair for days... Good time good time
@@joeboy4229 I remember those classes well. Unfortunately, Mr Borophyll inhaled a few too many methane particles from Fred's experiment that day resulting in a mild case of brain damage. He's still alive and doing ok. The positive is that you can tell him the same joke every 30 minutes or so and, due to memory loss, he thinks its the first time he's heard it.
@@ryanyoung2742 Idk if you heard but I got Osteoporosis which is ironic considering how much Milk I used to drink.. Id like to see Fred call me Milk now. Do you remember Sarah Giles? She was on safari in Africa last month and got mauled by meerkats..

Why do you say he's underrated? Why do people always say that when he is totally not underrated.
I rate Fred Armisen so high in my heart. Jimmy too.
He can also peak around corners!
@@wildechild5 It’s usually idiots like this they call people underrated because all their friends aren’t talking about them this week.
I love seeing SNL alum interacting with each other because they just totally fall into a groove of "yes, and", and it's so fun to watch ❤
BOR-RING!!!
Ok, improv nerd.
what the heck do you guys think you’re watching…
I could totally go for a whole evening of Fred and Jimmy both playing guitar, harmonizing and improvising silly stuff!
Me too.
I completely agree!
So basically Fred Armisen's show that already exists but with Jimmy adding nothing to it.
@@LorenzoDoesntExist what show does Fred have that's like this?
Me too but with Jimmy completely silent
Love, love, love this! Fred is extremely UNDERrated and skilled in music as well as comedy! What a pleasure!
The D-chord bit made me laugh pretty hard, because yes I do always have to do that
Dude this made me laugh pretty hard 🤣
could you please explain the joke with the D-chord
@@neutron5000 just something many guitar players do, that's not essential in playing the d-chord. They basically alter the chord (which is easy to do, just change one finger) to a sus chord.

Yes, it just feels wrong NOT to do it, I just can't resist...
I learned it from "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and never went back to normal D chord
I love the ska part at the end. Jimmy getting up and skanking with the Roots (it is the the Roots still, right?) joining in and adding a full band. Absolutely beautiful.
I think he was refering to venezuelan ska band DESORDEN PUBLICO. You should check their music!
I absolutely love when Fred comes on and does these! They're so on point. I crack up!
Seriously could watch them for way longer what fun!! What a talent Fred has!
Fred Armisen is another one of my favorite people. I love snl cast (former and current) people! 💙
Fred Armisen is so incredible. The chemistry between him and Jimmy is the best.
Fred is a comedic genius, I adore him
Being Norwegian. That song wasn’t far from the real deal! Very well done!
Lyric goes: "Fløy en liten blåfugl, gjennom vindu
gjennom vindu, gjennom vindu
Fløy en liten blåfugl, gjennom vindu
- en dag i mai"
I love Fred Armisen's observational comedy about stuff I've never actually observed.
Fred is such a humble and honest funny guy that makes you laugh with just an expression
Got to see Fred’s show tonight in Oxford, it was very similar! Afterwards he allowed my dad and I to meet him before he got on the bus and he was just so kind. What an all-around great guy 😊
Hey I was at that show too! Awesome that you got to meet him.
I love how Jimmy Fallon is a talk show host who interviews people, and he comes up with this great bit: "I'll ask my guest different questions...."
revolutionary!
Even more revolutionary than the Colbert Questionnaire!
I'd expect nothing less from the restless, groundbreaking creative pioneer who uses television to play Pictionary, sing pre-existing theme songs as Neil Young, and giggle through movie scene re-enactments. No one brings more to the table that was already at the table before he brought it.
@Clay Chiarelott I am here because i thought i might find something funny and lol ...that's why i go on youtube....ever ;)
@Clay Chiarelott I don't know how you got that idea...based on your comments...you seem to be a very negative person.

Fred rocks in everything. He could lean on the lyrics in that bit more. His insight is true comedy.
Fred always tries his best.
Am I right?
He's an effective corner peeker.
Mad skills.
The peek was hilarious and the guitar was impressive
Questlove didn’t seem to think so!
Questlove Thinking keep this donkey away from my drums
Fred Armisen is such an amazingly talented person.
Tbh when Fred sings I wanna listen and I wish there was more of it but he always makes you laugh in the middle of it somehow😂 Amazing man
Definitely more Fred please. So great! Thank you Jimmy and The Roots!!!
Fred is a legend.
Fred is godlike with his comedic timing.
Only an appearance of a talent like Fred could make me watch and engage with the ever-breaking Jimmy Fallon…
I cant get enough of him. he's amazing. and i love how jimmy laughs like he's in pain.
I'd 100 percent buy all the tickets to a Fred clone band show
He already have it on Netflix
@Mot Goaiu exactly.
The Blue Jean committee
The way he’s able to switch from his pick to finger picking without loosing his pick is very impressive.
Fred has been in character for 25 years
Now this is funny.
This is just what I needed on a Friday night.. eating pho 🍲 .. and drinking a glass of wine 🍷🥳🥱 Watching both of you guys crack me up! We love ya’ll both! Much Aloha 🤙🏽 from Hawai’i ❤️🏄🏽♀️
Cheeeeeee!
He forgot to do slack key!
Oh my goodness! Guitar playing styles around the world! That was so awesome!!! 🙌
Fred has the most unique sense of humour. Love the guy!
Fred's delivery of "Aye, Dios mio" is on par with peeking around a corner.. He's just funny..
That line about the D chord. OMG. So true.
I never did that thing with the D chord ……until now. I’m screwed
I'm from Argentina and what he said about South America is so true of today's rock music it's sick!
Fred has such a unique comedy genius! Under rated IMOl.
💯
HAHAHA! LOVE the fact that his "Norwegian" song REALLY is a Norwegian children's song :D
Fred is brilliant! Love him to bits!
The norwegian guitar style is so accurate... And i'm not ashamed.
Fred is a legend! Mooooooooooore Fred please! TY.
As an Australian, that was spot on for Aussie rockers 🤣
I love Fred Armisen I feel like I would just enjoy every single moment hanging out with him multy talented and just all around great guy
Fred is just naturally funny !! The synergy between the two of them is awesome
I think no one could pull off those kind of jokes better than fred
Fred is right spot on with ska in Chile, just check out Los Miserables or La Floripondio, but I think even more in argentina with even more fusioned styles like Los Cadillacs, Los Pericos or even 2 minutos. What a talent!
Great selections
You could fill a book with things that make perfect sense to Fred Armisen and almost no sense to everyone else.
Fred is a national treasure
I thought the peek would be cringy but he’s right. A lot of talent there! ❤️🤟🏻
Fred is awesome!!! And the little 2Tone jam at the end was very sweet... 🥰
Always great to learn about peoples' different talents. I was still stuck in Portlandia.
The Roots playing SKA and Jimmy skanking at the end just made my week! Pick it up!
Love Fred doing that musical comedy!!❤️
5:36 As an Australian, I can confirm this is bloody spot on 😆
Very midnight oil
😂🤣😂🤣 giving back the guitar. Straight SNL but 👏👏👏👏. I like how Fred literally makes you think on music styles from around the world. He’s actually very on point.
I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard on UA-cam as I did watching Fred peak around the corner
Love Fred!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The way he slowly pushed the guitar back. 😂😂😂
Wait, but now it’s over there😂😂
“Alright - he’s just gonna go around a corner” 🤣🤣🤣
Just a true gem
Fred’s the bomb 🎉🎉❤❤❤
As soon as I saw "corner peak" I remembered him doing it in broad city...and he did it just the same here. Undefeated corner peaker!
i am offended by his accuracy of guitarists LOL Fred Armisen never disappoints
Jimmy is so happy love it! Fred is a treasure
Fred is probably one of the most under-rated sketch comedians. He's a savant! Extremely talented in all aspects of the Performance Arts.
I related so hard with that d-chord thing 😀
He's a multi instrumentalist. Darn fine drummer.
Fred with an instrument is another level of fun.
His Norwegian song is an actual song as well, with the actual lyrics. Genius.
Only Fred could pull off that peeking bit. He's one of my favorite entertainers. I would love to see Portlandia come back.
I love this! Plus everything with Fallon!
We love when Mlepclaynos peeks around corners, Fred!
Damn, the "norwegian song" is actually a norwegian song. In norwegian. Fred Armisen is a real one.
I love Fred Armisen! Miss Portlandia (former Portland resident)
I remember when he and Carrie peeked around a corner on Portlandia! Waiting for breakfast, wanting to check out the table early; they loved breakfast so much.
I loved his comedy set with him playing drums. He's really talented.
QuestLove wasn't feeling that peeping around the corner bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The way Jimmy ended the interview without verbally telling Fred to stop and started dancing , shows how good he is in his job
One of the most enjoyable episodes!
Lol Fred does look the the guy who knows how to peek around corners
Funny as always my man
3:20 is why i love jimmy fallon lmfao HE PUTS IT BACK omfg ded
Holy shit the beat the roots laid down at the end was insane!
Love this man
Norwegian was spot on. I know because I am a Norwegian guitar.
Jimmy Fallon fred armisen show hidden talents awesomeness job interview
Fred Armisen is my HERO!!!!!!
pleasantly surprised at Jimmy fallon skankin, Freds a genius as always
That was some good skanking, I have new respect for Jimmy Fallon
*puts the guitar away
“No but now it’s back there”.
“Oh sorry”.
Lol dead 😂😂
Thank you Fred.
Love your comedy.
I went to school with Fred and he nicknamed me Milk because one day I drank milk.. it stuck and kids bullied me for the rest of my school years. It really hammered my self esteem but after years of studying and working hard, I'm now the 46th, current president of the United States.
Hey Milk. Long time no speak. I remember you from year 8 biology class. Fred still owes me that tuck shop money he borrowed off me. Typical Fred.
@@ryanyoung2742 well I'll be a tall glass of 🥛 milk.. if it isn't Ryan "reproductive system" Young from year 8 Biology class.. what's the good word? Do you remember when Fred tried to light a fart and the classroom stunk of burnt hair for days... Good time good time

@@ryanyoung2742 Idk if you heard but I got Osteoporosis which is ironic considering how much Milk I used to drink.. Id like to see Fred call me Milk now.
Do you remember Sarah Giles? She was on safari in Africa last month and got mauled by meerkats..
Wtf is happening here
Fred is gold anywhere he goes
Awesome
5:04 Is that Tangerine?
He actually sang in Norwegian🤣🤣
His comedy for musicians tour is so good! Just saw in boston
That ska jam at the end was SICK
Anyone knows what brand guitar he uses? Sounds great.
Martin D28 is what he’s playing here
This is brilliant I love it 🥰
He is not wrong about any of that!! Nothing like an IN TUNE acoustic ✌️
Jimmy skanking at the end will probably be the closest reference of ska in pop culture right now
Fred and Seth are my favorite hands down
3:16 i love this bit as much as questlove loves this bit.
