Funny / Stop Making Sense

• David Byrne singing "This Must be the Place" to a lamp.
• His dance moves during the instrumental break of "Once in a Lifetime" are a glory to behold.
• His bizarre movements and facial expressions throughout "Life During Wartime".
  • There's a great moment during the bridge where Byrne loops around his mic stand in a counter-clockwise motion while singing. The best part is Tina's "WTF?" face in the background while he does it.
• David Byrne's self-interview made to promote the film, one of the DVD extras. It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
• Steve Scales sticking out his tongue for the camera during "Burning Down the House".
• "Does anybody have any questions?"
• The big suit.
• "Who dat? Who dat? Who dat tryin' to be bad? You motha!"
• During "Girlfriend is Better" David Byrne lets the guy holding the stage light sing a bit. His deadpan expression is what makes it hilarious. Byrne then offers the mic to the camera.
• In the DVD commentary, Byrne jokes that the film could double as an exercise video, something Roger Ebert stated explicitly in his review.
• The film is famous for getting audiences to dance in the aisles at screenings, but in one case at a film festival, the audience was so caught up in dancing that they didn't notice that David Byrne was there with them.
• The backup singers imitating Byrne's goofy dancing and guitar playing during "Slippery People".
