I didn't get that impression. if he really disliked leno he wouldn't have consistently returned to his show to be interviewed. I don't like Leno much myself, but weirdly him and David have a funny chemistry.
Lynch saying that the character who has the learning disability, is a very “special soul.” Instead of fixating on that he’s like “there’s more to her than that, she’s just a character who happens to have a learning disability.” How sweet.
Christopher Elam What I got from that exchange was that Lynch didn’t want the disability to be the defining factor of the character. Or any human for that matter, like no one should see someone as their disability, humans are more that that.
David: I drink a lot of coffee Jay: A LOT OF COFFEE David: The heavy metal... department Jay: THEY HEAVY METAL... DEPARTMENT David: Two and two is four Jay: TWO AND TWO IS FOUR David: Put it this way Jay: PUT IT THAT WAY David: There's a Swedish mousetrap Jay: A SWEDISH MOUSETRAP David: There's a microswitch under here Jay: MICROSWITCH David: Cheese and cracker Jay: CHEESE AND CRACKER David: A little tunnel with a teeter totter Jay: A LITTLE TUNNEL WITH A TEETER TOTTER David: Don't touch that, Jay Jay: DON'T TOUCH THAT David: It's a prototype Jay: IT'S A PROTOTYPE David: Room for the tail to clear the door Jay: THE TAIL MUST CLEAR THE DOOR David: Tomatoes and bananas Jay: TOMATOES AND BANANAS
Eccentric mad scientist. He has gore in his movies but he builds humane mousetraps and encourages peace through mindfulness and meditation. He fascinates me even boring Jay can't detract from him he is so interesting. I too would like a collaboration between him and Tom Waits.
@Anna Lisa I love the fact that both of them have brought rat traps to an interview. The contrast between David's handmade humane trap and Tom's ancient rat-drowning box from ebay is pretty funny
It's old school interview style. The host sits higher than the guest. Treats them terribly and basically makes out like they're cooler than any guest on their shitty show. Glad it's a dying format.
Wow it's so obvious Leno got Lynch just so he could make fun of him. He's working SO hard to hog the spotlight, but Lynch completely overshadows him by just talking casually.
I love this interview. It's like watching the most obvious thinker meet the most non-obvious thinker, with moments that verge on true science. And that doesn't even include the mousetrap!
Notice how Lynch is impressed by Leno's tv "gizmo"... then in Twin Peaks: The Return, Sheriff Truman Sr. has the same kind of "gizmo" in his desk to hide the computer...
Lynch is a great storyteller, he reminds me of Tom Waits in some way, maybe its his excentric behavior + the hair. Waits also found unique ways of playing instruments, even inventing them to get the sound he wanted. They should get together some time.
The world will never be the same without him in it. I applied for his writing program a few years ago but my life changed significantly so I never ended up getting to do it. I wish I could spend time with him. He’s so so so delightful and refreshing.
Ugh I hate Jay Leno. He seems super condescending in these clips with Lynch and it’s dictating how the audience is reacting also. He’s a great sport for going along with his nonsense though. Buuuut Lynch came on Leno’s show often so he must have thought well of him in some way.
Haut Strange yeah I agree. Whenever I see Jay Leno conducting an interview, he always irks me. For lack of a better word, he comes off as kind of a tool. Almost like he’s the ultimate corporate yes man. It’s more noticeable when he interviews Lynch. I think at least for me and perhaps other fans, what we enjoy so much about David Lynch is his sincerity and straightforwardness. There are a lot of people out there who consider him to be pretentious, but when you watch him in interviews you realize that he’s just a simple guy who loves being an artist. He wholly embraces himself. Jay Leno is kind of the antithesis of that.
Creature Of Action 100% agree with everything you just said. Luckily for Leno, Lynch is a good guy and stuck it out for the long haul. Or maybe he wanted Leno to embarrass himself.
It's disappointing when talk show hosts framed Lynch as just a weird guy to laugh at. He's maybe a little esoteric but he explains his ideas and feelings very clearly and is extremely earnest in all his endeavors. Like, I was really interested in the mouse trap! I wanted to hear David's explanation, not listen to Jay make 10 cracks in a row without actually admitting that it's a pretty impressive contraption all things considered. Yeah it's a talk show and it's just the nature of the format but it would've been a better show if Lynch was presented as the artist he is, not a cartoon character to gawk at
Leno keeps fucking up Lynch's delivery, what a hack
Perhaps lynch is hindering Leno
@@jacobloving6765 said no one ever
@@jacobloving6765 pretty sure the host is supposed to be accomodating the guest
i can feel David's frustration with Leno
He must need to do a TM session straight after every Leno show he ever went on.
Yeah the guy is annoying AF in this
I didn't get that impression. if he really disliked leno he wouldn't have consistently returned to his show to be interviewed. I don't like Leno much myself, but weirdly him and David have a funny chemistry.
One person in this interview has a soul. It is not hard to tell which.
I love how David is just himself and so unpretentious about it. Really fearless.
He has a set of values that won't be compromised. That and the TM
A natural humility. Kind of rare in show business.
VALUES ‼️❓
And in comparison Jay Leno seems like absolutely the most insecure jittery asshole on the planet
"Jay, come on. It's a prototype"
Lynch saying that the character who has the learning disability, is a very “special soul.” Instead of fixating on that he’s like “there’s more to her than that, she’s just a character who happens to have a learning disability.” How sweet.
Is he talking about Jay?
You don't think people with learning disabilities can have special souls?
Christopher Elam What I got from that exchange was that Lynch didn’t want the disability to be the defining factor of the character. Or any human for that matter, like no one should see someone as their disability, humans are more that that.
It sounded like he was hurt by leno calling her that

It's 2022 and if you don't know by now, Lynch loves his projects and takes them seriously. Jay didn't deserve this presentation.

Jay Leno is Dougie Jones?
Leno was always a hack.
Eccentric mad scientist. He has gore in his movies but he builds humane mousetraps and encourages peace through mindfulness and meditation. He fascinates me even boring Jay can't detract from him he is so interesting. I too would like a collaboration between him and Tom Waits.
There really isn't much gore in his films, though.
@Anna Lisa I love the fact that both of them have brought rat traps to an interview. The contrast between David's handmade humane trap and Tom's ancient rat-drowning box from ebay is pretty funny
@@Vingul well sometimes it's just the implication of gore but in Wild at Heart when they blew off Bobby Peru's head it was a bit gory I thought.
Why even have a guest when you won't even let him finish a sentence? Was Jay hopped up on Adderall or something?
he was on that WD-40
Yes, and he was loud. Overamped on something.
It's old school interview style.
The host sits higher than the guest.
Treats them terribly and basically makes out like they're cooler than any guest on their shitty show.
Glad it's a dying format.
So stupid this guy!!
That's Jay Leno for ya...
Leno needs to let a moment breathe. Like shut up for a second. You don’t have to repeat everything & constantly interrupt
3:53
DAVID: There’s a microswitch under here-
JAY: *MICROSWITCH!*
Wow it's so obvious Leno got Lynch just so he could make fun of him.
He's working SO hard to hog the spotlight, but Lynch completely overshadows him by just talking casually.
I love this interview. It's like watching the most obvious thinker meet the most non-obvious thinker, with moments that verge on true science. And that doesn't even include the mousetrap!
Even the most mediocre interview can be made into something worthwhile by the power of Lynch
Jay Leno is bullying him here and it makes me sad
Notice how Lynch is impressed by Leno's tv "gizmo"... then in Twin Peaks: The Return, Sheriff Truman Sr. has the same kind of "gizmo" in his desk to hide the computer...
"That's a really great gizmo there" is my favorite part.
Why did the fuck did anyone ever give Jay Leno a job on TV?
Lynch is a great storyteller, he reminds me of Tom Waits in some way, maybe its his excentric behavior + the hair. Waits also found unique ways of playing instruments, even inventing them to get the sound he wanted. They should get together some time.
Yes I just watched his latest work and the chicken made me think of waits bad as me video.
Waits went on letterman with a rat catcher.
You're so right there @blister monde
Jay shut up! David is talking!
This why we love David Lynch. A natural soul. No prejudice, no doubts. Just himself.
see it's funny because David is an abstract thinker, and this interviewer guy seems to have no understanding of how abstract thought exists.
Lol @ "this interviewer guy". Jay Leno is a very famous idiot. I wish he wouldn't talk over David.
Or how any thought exist. Jay leno is a cringe ball
I think they thought that the majority of the viewing public thinks this way, so a goof-ball like Leno would reach them on their level.
Lynch, what an amazing man!
I’ve always thought David and Jay could’ve taken their dialogues on tour back then. Good chemistry.
It’s quite depressing to watch an intelligent man being interviewed by someone who’s just playing for laughs.
I love David lynch. What a crazy guy though. Like, who just invents a mousetrap out of nowhere, and takes it on a talk show
u sound boring
He does. He follows his own whim, and doesn't care what anybody thinks. Unique man.
Not that 'crazy' though, is it, having a hobby...what do you do, sit around all day staring at a wall?
He grew up in rural Montana; his dad also liked to tinker around with woodworking etc. I think he probably inherited that.
Well if you got mice and rats in the house. I got rats, and made a trap, simplier than that. Only down side it I have to watch it to trap them.
This video introduced me to David lynch who has become a massive influence and inspiration in my life and art, thank you David you funny funny man
Its best not to ask David Lynch "why" he does things
The world will never be the same without him in it. I applied for his writing program a few years ago but my life changed significantly so I never ended up getting to do it. I wish I could spend time with him. He’s so so so delightful and refreshing.
Are you talking about Jay Leno?
I feel like him saying "it'll give you a beautiful feeling...IF YOU ALLOW IT" was directed straight at Leno haha
I assumed, based on the title of the video, that "mousetrap" was a metaphor for Lynch's films. And I was correct!
Did Jay’s IQ drop 100 pts when Lynch walked in?
To -99?
Now if Leno would have shut up a little. He absolutely did not get the mouse trap joke.
Why is David always so adorable?
7:07 - inspiration for twin peaks sheriff station 2k17
You may be exactly right there
Its like Stan Laurel has returned, took off his bowler and has decided this time to REALLY mess with Hollywood!!! (compliment by the way)

Leno has to keep the audience going man. It's his job.

Jim Varney And? What’s the point of this comment?
I feel like lynch is frustrated with jay... i would be too!
oh my god leno...he doesn't get lynch's humor at all.
So, a man like Leno wsa mainstream, and David Lynch an independent genius! Sums up perfectly the dumbass world we live in.
mmmh, the monolith in 2001 was just a mousetrap...
now I get it! :D
What? How?
2001 a space odisey
iddy biddy bananas
Unlike the one in my trousers.
I love Jay so much. He's a much better troll than letterman
It's already said many times, but this was so frustrating to watch with all the "I'm the funny guy" interruptions
I love David Lynch. Also, this reminds me that Jay Leno was seriously always a dick. And a hack.
It seems the interviewer is actually not a really good interviewer
it's interesting that he describes that movie
Bro let the man say one word
Imagine someone who never heard of David Lynch trying to guess what David Lynch does for a living just from watching this video.
OOAK...David Lynch...Love his music
Protect this man ❤️
Goddamn I hate Jay leno
Oh boy, a "Humane mouse trap" filled with electricity... That face David Lynch has when Jay Leno said release it in the wild kills me.
Jay just keeps repeating what David is saying. So annoying and disruptive.
Run a petition for every clip of David Lynch to end with the Asymmetrical logo.
“Jay come on, it’s a prototype”

Anyone have a link to the Swedish mousetrap Lynch references?
It’s called a Wippo Matic. Here is a video of it in use: ua-cam.com/video/RqZnAvZv9mA/v-deo.html
Sweet mouse trap.
What.
That host is so annoying
LOL, 15,000 volts.
*can you spare a light...*
APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR ALBERT!!!
sexobscura it’s “Got a Light?”
@@HotStrange Yes, god of light, yes
adam quane Uhhh no?
@@HotStrange Mwahaha
Really annoying then Jay constantly interrupts
Leno is a horrible host
So wouldn't Lynch be able to play a lefty guitar comfortably then?
Presumably he plays overhand (like a lap guitar) and with a slide
but yeah im pretty sure he does the frets with his right hand lefty style
Anyone else get Zach Handel vibes from him?
I remember seeing this!
It's crazy to think the year 2000 has gotten so long ago.
Rats love tomatoes and bananas. They especially love Coca-Cola. Like it's ambrosia

Well Leno's about as funny as I remember. I.e. not at all.
Jay Leno is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unbearable
Omg like me 🥺💗
It feels like hes a laughing stock and its just pretty lame
