John Mayer Bitch Slaps Ryan Seacrest at the Grammys

Last night on the red carpet something interesting happened. John Mayer stopped to talk to Ryan Seacrest, and the conversation quickly switched from a light conversation about music to Seacrest saying; "You know I have to ask this" at which point John Mayer stops him and says "No you don't, if you're going to ask, man up and say you want to ask." Seacrest concedes and asks him whats going on with Jessica Simpson. John thought for a minute and answered in Japanese "She's a beautiful girl and if anything was happening I assure you you'd be the last to know."

The look on Ryan Seacrests face was priceless, he didn't know what to say. Highlight of the night for me.

it's funnier when you add in how obsessed ryan was the whole time on the red carpet with wanting to talk to john mayer and he kept saying that he was going to ask him about jessica.
i laughed.

I loved it I wish someone would youtube it already.

So he basically calls Seacrest a chicken for not being direct, and then answers in Japanese so Seacrest won't know what he said right away?

I kind of like John Mayer. I like him a lot more than I want to, that's for sure.

I like everyone better than Ryan Seacrest, though. The worst part about Ryan Seacrest is that you can't even hate him, because he's too fucking bland for that. There's nothing there to hate. There's nothing there to feel anything about. I try to picture him in my head, and I can't ever remember from one sighting to the next what he actually looks like, because he's the least distinct being on the planet. He's just one blob of spiky-blonde-highlighted blah.

Weirds me right the fuck out, Ryan Seacrest does.

I actually gained a lot of respect for John Mayer when he released his live blues album, he is seriously an incredible guitar player.

Yeah, he's a pretty good guitar player. See him on Chappelle's Show?

Warning sign #4,678 that you may be a lower form of life: John Mayer tells you to "man up" about something.

That was hilarious.

--------------------------------------

Also, someone was kind enough to fulfill my request.

Ha Ok, now that I've seen it, it was pretty funny. The quotes made Mayer sound really confrontational.

I thought the icing on the cake was at the end when Seacrest asked him if he was happy, and John said I'm happy with what I just did to you.

I love how Seacrest nods along as though he understands what Mayer is saying. "I think that's fantastic". His douchebaggery knows no bounds.

I wish Mayer wouldn't be so damn hilarious all the time. It's kind of a drag, having such a huge secret crush on him in spite of his music and all.

Not to be a total mark, but he's a really good musician. Unless you think the blues is crap, then he sucks.

the guy is funny as hell i wish he still had his show on it was great

didn't the Chili Peppers do something to seacrest at the grammy's too? or was that someone else?

They acted like a bunch "whacky rock dudes" and Flea wound up saying "cock" on the air. Flea is so ZANY!

you can hate the way he keeps trying to make "seacrest out" work.

You know about him doing stand-up comedy, right?

The blues:

Not the blues:

Just my opinion. I've never heard of this guy, but he does seem pretty funny in a douche-baggy kind of way.

All I know is the kid can play, he has a cover of Hendrix's Bold as Love on his new record that is really something.

"Take it to the room, find a Japanese person, and ask him if he'll teach me the language."

Any more fluent Japanese speaker wanna take this one?

If you read the thread on youtube, someone's best guess is that he said isshoni irarete saikou desu. It sounds like he said isshoni idarete saigo desu, which is utter crap and nonsense, (idarete is not a word) but also how people are getting the wrong translation (saigo means end). The most fluent translation I've seen is "being with her is the best." The conjugation of "being" is - at my level of understanding - craptacular, and messes up the whole sentence, but you get together (as in to do something together) @$#% (he's trying to say "to be able to be" but ends up fucking up the sentence by not conjugating the verb so the action fits in the sentence; it's like he just commanded someone "be capable of existence together!" and rather rudely, at that) supreme/highest/most (I don't know this word, so I'm not familar with its nuances. At the very least this should have been irareteiruno ga saikou desu) "is." So.... "Be able to live together (rude/familiar command tone). It's supreme."

Jessika wa totemo suteki na josei de isshoni irarete saikou desu.

It gives me a headache. With my level of understanding, it's "Jessica, very beautiful woman by which (by which, as in "by which you eat a salad with a fork) exist together (command). It's supreme." "Jessica to isshoni irareteiruno wa saikou desu" would seem to be what he would have wanted to say, with completely new pronunciation.

I'm rusty as hell, but I don't think he should be that smug. The kid he got that translation off of is failing Japanese (the grammar mistakes make me think first semester in high school, but I would never attempt that sentence at that level, so maybe he's failing college instead), his pronunciation could be improved by watching Karate Kid, and he could have saved himself the shame by tossing a translator a couple twenties for a good zinger. He didn't have to stop for Seacrest, he could have walked away, but instead, he acted smug as all hell for sounding like a 9th grader failing school. If he did that and laid his hands on me.... It was extremely rude, self-indulgent behavior in a situation where he knew that Seacrest had to grin and be civil. I'm gonna go with douchebag.

That said, if he's really with Ms. Chicken of the Sea, maybe they belong together.

John Mayer would probably be a pretty awesome guy if he didn't model his music on Dave Matthews'.

That seemed extremely scripted.

Oh, if you like authentic blues you've just got to see Blues Hammer! They're so great!
