The Eric Andre Show: 10 Eric Quotes That Are Strangely Thought-Provoking

The Eric Andre Show is famous for its surreal nature. Yet, amidst all that chaos, Eric has managed to sprinkle in a few thought-provoking lines.

Since it began airing on Adult Swim almost a decade ago, The Eric Andre Show has grown to amass a cult following. The “talk show” where celebrity guests are tormented, outrageous public pranks are pulled, and inappropriate monologues are delivered has become a hotbed for memes and quotes.

Over the years, Eric Andre and his cohost Hannibal Buress have become so famous for their shenanigans that the show has had to increasingly dig deep into its own violent nihilistic humor to shock audiences and guests alike. While each eleven-minute episode is a capsule of destruction and humiliation, there are often moments of bizarre clarity. What comes out of those moments are gems of thought-provoking ideas.

10 “You Know, They Say If It’s Grey It’s Healthy For You.”

At the beginning of season four, Eric brings out Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock fame for one of the most uncomfortable interviews of the season. He quickly presents McBrayer with a plate of strange-looking grey food, which McBrayer politely turns down.

That’s when Eric, shoving some of the mystery food into his mouth, says that grey food is healthy for you. This sparks a debate between Hannibal and Eric about whether or not there is actually any grey food that’s healthy for you. Seal meat seems to be their only answer.

9 “Why’re You Trying To Be All Things To All People?”

Childhood Disney star Brenda Song was caught off guard and didn’t know how to respond when Eric Andre asked her this surprisingly personal question. This is a tactic Eric uses often, framing a deep question between two inexplicable gags.

Before the question, he made a joke about a fake Brenda Song Twitter account, and then, before Song had the opportunity to answer the question, he pulls a dead fish from his lap and starts wailing Pearl Jam lyrics. Hard to contemplate how much you give of yourself amidst all that chaos.

8 “The Lord May Or May Not Be Real. Who Is To Say That God Exists?”

The other pillar of Eric’s bizarre show comes in the form of surreal on-the-street pranks in New York City. One of Eric’s earliest in season one shows him preaching on a street corner with a megaphone. Unlike the typical street preacher, however, Eric comes equipped with signs and messages about agnosticism.

He challenges passersby to “shout if they have doubt.” Though Eric is a practicing Jew, street preaching would later become a mainstay on the show, as he frequently went out in public advocating for agnosticism and “black Scientology.”

7 “Why Weren’t Black People In Lord Of The Rings?”

When Lord of the Rings and Lost star Dominic Monaghan joined Eric and Hannibal early in season two, he tried his best to answer Eric’s nonsensible questions. After a rather thoughtful response regarding life after death, Eric switched the conversation up on him. Pounding on his desk, he demanded an explanation for the lack of black people in Lord of the Rings.

While it raises an interesting point regarding the lack of roles for people of color in sci-fi/fantasy projects, Monaghan was unable to answer the question.

6 “Once You Realize You Don’t Have To Sleep Anymore, Your Mind Goes Wide Open!”

Jack McBrayer just couldn’t catch a break during his interview on The Eric Andre Show. Despite being subjected to grey food, firecrackers, and getting felt up by the stagehands, Eric still got in his face to explain that he hadn’t slept in weeks.

McBrayer tried his best to convince Eric to sleep, but the host insisted that his creative process thrives without sleep. Sleep deprivation would certainly explain the inspiration for some of the show’s more outrageous stunts.

5 “Is Dennis Rodman Committing Treason Because Of His Close Ties To The Despotic Leadership Of North Korea?”

Before Eric famously basketball superstar Dennis Rodman to talk about his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, he presented the hot button issue to reality television personality Malaysia Pargo.

Unlike the normal roundtables on cable news discussing the celebrity’s ties to North Korea, Eric asked her as the set was being slowly elevated to a 45-degree angle. Pargo’s answer then should come as no surprise: “I don’t f***ing know.”

4 “Patriotism Is The Conviction That Your Country Is Superior To All Others ‘Cause You Were Born In It.”

Despite being on the final episode of the latest season, it seemed that NBA All-Star Blake Griffin had no idea what he was in for when he stepped onto the set of The Eric Andre Show. A little research would have helped him, as it came as a complete surprise when two stuntmen dressed as Navy Seal rappelled down from the ceiling and started engaging in some NSFW acts. While Eric and Blake stood to give the fake Seals a salute, Eric hit him with a truth bomb about the concept of patriotism, something else that Blake Griffin seemed totally unprepared for.

3 “Freedom Ain’t Not Free!”

One of Eric’s most famous stunts was his crashing of the Republican National Convention in 2016. Disrupting interviews on CNN, MSNBC, and Breitbart News, urinating in public, and getting on stage at an Alex Jones rally weren’t enough to get him thrown out of the arena.

It wasn’t until he dressed up as the infamous Trump cheerleader and began to rally on the convention floor that he was finally arrested and escorted out. As he was marched out of the center, he bellowed, “Freedom ain’t not free,” a message that would go on to signify his disruption at the RNC. It also meant that he was barred from entrance during the Democratic National Convention, which inadvertently spawned the famous “let me in” meme.

2 “Do You Think Margaret Thatcher Had Girl Power? Do You Think She Effectively Utilized Girl Power By Funneling Money Into Illegal Paramilitary Death Squads In Northern Ireland?”

This may be the earliest instance—and most famous—of Eric asking a guest a sincerely deep question they are completely unqualified to answer. The guest just happened to be Spice Girl star and America’s Got Talent judge, Mel B. While Mel was sure that Margaret Thatcher had girl power, she seemed rattled by the follow-up question and tugged at the sleeve of Hannibal Buress for assistance. The exchange has lived on as one of the show’s signature moments, and it laid the blueprint for all the other thought-provoking questions to come in later years.

1 “Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?”

Easily the most famous Eric Andre quote, this zinger at Amber Rose has inspired a litany of memes. It serves as the perfect follow-up to any hot take or outrageous comment on social media.

Though Eric lobbed the question at model Amber Rose about a fake tweet, the same could be asked of him for any one of the thousands of things he’s gotten away with saying on his talk show. If there was ever a man who knows how to ride the line between bravery and controversy, it’s Eric Andre.
