Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

  • Another one comes from the live version of "Supper's Ready" on the box set. Peter breaks into his usual pre-song story, which is supposed to be punctuated by Phil's drumming at two points. Phil apparently missed the cue, and the result is hilarious.

Peter: "Phil, there's people out there!"
Phil: "I'm really sorry, everyone. I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying."

    • The second time around, Phil gets a massive round of applause when he actually comes in on cue.
    • Speaking of "Supper's Ready", there's the "Willow Farm" section, both in regards to both the music itself and for Peter prancing about as a flower.
  • One bootleg features an audience member shouting something that can't quite be made out. Gabriel's very calm, deadpan reply was, "My mother does not suck cocks.".
  • "Jesus He Knows Me" mixes an absolutely hilarious video with a vicious lampooning of televangelism.
  • The video for "I Can't Dance" had many of these, and the video for "Anything She Does" features Benny Hill doing his usual shtick.
  • In Come Rain Or Shine, there is a very Spinal Tap-esque moment with a rather confused GPS system:

"You have arrived at your destination."
"Have you been drinkin', luv?"
