[url]http://vimeo.com/47297224[/url] Not sure if you can still tag vimeo without it autoplaying, if you can tell me and I'll tag it up. This is one of the worst things you will ever watch in your life. I feel the need to take 5 showers now.
The way that Ronnie-dude talks is really irritating and disturbing.
This is really sad, and the guy with the nose you could get into is creepy
Is there something like that about russian mail order brides?
I love Louis's stuff. Ronnie was terrible at defending himself.
This guy's programs are so fucking painful to watch but i can't look away Makes me feel better knowing there is at least one more person more awkward than me in the world and he managed to get his own tv show
He's confidently awkward, which makes it a good thing.
I can't wait for his documentary on Scientology.
[QUOTE=reevezy67;45572303]He's confidently awkward, which makes it a good thing.[/QUOTE] His awkward face at 3:34 and the other guys face afterwards..oh jesus its so painfully hilarious
His appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience a while back was interesting, he kept moving his hands and things and he really was that awkward guy he appears to be in his TV shows.
Also the series this is from, Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, is on the british netflix if anyone is interested.
oh god he's so weird
married in 2 days fuuuuuuck that guy was scary
both of them are so weird god ronnie is such a sleeze bag too
Ronnie needs to be a GTA character.
I thought Louie tries to ask awkward questions at people. Like a passive aggressive sorta thing.
barry chuckle's early days
Do you guys find those girls attractive? I don't.
Yeah, I thought the majority of them were pretty attractive.
I will never forget Louis face when he got way more than he bargained for off Ronnie in that dinner date.
jesus christ ronnie's a fucking freak
I love Louis' passive agressive and intentionally uncomfortable questions.
[QUOTE=Mr. N;45573051]I love Louis' passive agressive and intentionally uncomfortable questions.[/QUOTE] Agree with that, but what I like about it is that he asks the questions but does it in a way that doesn't alienate or upset the people he is interviewing. I also watched this a few months back in a Louis Theroux boxset that belonged to my parents. Sort of looked up if I could find anything at all about what happened to Lake Palmer after the documentary and found [URL="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/REAL-LIFE+VICTIMS+OF+MARRIAGE+SCAM%3A+Thai+brides+left+us+broke%3B...-a0117020639"]this[/URL]. Didn't end well.
[QUOTE=Mr. N;45573051]I love Louis' passive agressive and intentionally uncomfortable questions.[/QUOTE] Louis Theroux is a lot smarter than people give him credit for. He's an amazing documentarian.
theroux doesn't even modify anything he just uses the situation that's already there to make a fool of itself [editline]2nd August 2014[/editline] and it's great
"I slightly wish you hadn't said that." "Why's that?" "Ooh, I don't know!" And then you just see his expression transform from cheerful to barely-hidden disgust.

I certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity, he sounds like a great guy to talk with about anything and everything.
[QUOTE=reevezy67;45572303]He's confidently awkward, which makes it a good thing.[/QUOTE] He purposely plays on that. Inside his head he's probably saying other things. He acts really passive on purpose to let the other guy talk more and open up. Sort of a calculated game he's playing rather than genuinely being socially awkward. I find myself doing this sort of thing too cause I work with crazy people. Not joking, crazy bi-polar Indian bitch.
Aghhhhh the last few minutes were so horrible.
