Marilyn Manson helped create the most bizarre episode of the Talking Dead ever. And that's a big accomplishment considering the Talking Dead Season 3 finale with the weird apocalyptic call. We've transcribed some of the most unusual things that Manson said along with responses from Hardwick and other guests on the episode. (For anyone who wants to utilize our transcript, please remember to give a credit link to Comicboook.com as the source.) Be warned that spoilers follow.
Manson on zombie defecation and censorship. Marilyn Manson: According to your theory, which I've heard previously, that they don't defecate. If they poop it would smell a lot like my bathroom." Chris Hardwick: I get that question all the time with Twitter people. Do zombies poop? Number one I don't write the show. Number two is his microphone down? Marilyn Manson: You put my mic out. You're trying to censor me.
Manson on Rick's symbolic hat. Marilyn Manson: Rick really lost his mind. No, not his morals, but he lost it when he had to shoot Shane. Not as much when the wife died. Not as much when she died, because he couldn't deal with it, so he put it in his son's hands. And the hat was very symbolic.
Manson again on Rick's symbolic hat. Marilyn Manson: Him being the first character, and his hat being symbolic of him being a lawman. Like when you see a guy in a white coat you think, 'Oh, he's a doctor.' You see somebody in a fireman's outfit you think they're a fireman. He and his hat, and then when he gives it to his son, the order shifted so people are starting to make their own decisions, but they need a leader.
Manson on Tyreese just sitting in the car when the zombies were attacking. Marilyn Manson: I thought it was a reverse of Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. And he had to school him in the car with the PCP and what not. And he just sort of came through at the end. Ty was actually Ethan Hawke. They just flipped the script. Chris Hardwick: I think everyone's thinking that. Gale, is that why? Gale Anne Hurd: You know what, absolutely. We watched Training Day right before we wrote the episode.
Manson on Rick getting a John Deere. Marilyn Manson: Literally, like Rick's a farmer. He should have one of those John Deeres and just drive their legs off. Then, they can't walk. Chris Hardwick: Yeah, you're right. This show just suddenly doesn't work for me anymore, because he doesn't have a giant John Deere that he's driven in the prison. Marilyn Manson: Well, he's a farmer. Chris Hardwick: He's not really a farmer. He's a cop, who's like I want to sow some crops today because I'm sad because my wife and stuff. Marilyn Manson: But instead of artichokes, he could...a tractor...just drive like Caligula-style the legs off. Chris Hardwick: No, I disagree, except for the Caligula part.
Manson on the huge heard of zombies. Marilyn Manson: Mega herd made World War Z its bitch. Chris Hardwick: The mega herd made World War Z its bitch? Explain Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson: Well, because World War Z had all that...it even had Brad Pitt. Chris Hardwick: I can't wait to cover this on Talking Z the after show for World War Z.
Manson on having no friends. Marilyn Manson: The zombie herd gave me the fidgets. It was almost like the first season when you see a lot of them and then you think I should not have meddled with that first one. It's kind of like when you're at a club and you start a fight with some guy. And you think that you're tough, you take your jacket off, and I've been to jail type of thing. And you haven't been to jail. And then his friends show up. And you have no friends. Chris Hardwick: That story makes me sad, but at least I could follow it. Marilyn Manson: You told me that story right before the show. Chris Hardwick: I didn't tell you that story. Which story? Marilyn Manson: That you got in a fight, and you had no friends. Chris Hardwick: Oh yeah, I had no friends. I did tell you that story. Yeah, come back and join us Manson.
Manson on the difference between Rick and The Governor. Marilyn Manson: The difference between Rick and The Governor is The Governor did have his small community locked down in more of like a Hitler-type situation, where they all were afraid of him, and he ruled by fear. Chris Hardwick: You had me until Hitler. Marilyn Manson: What I'm saying is that he had everyone run by fear. Rick tried to run it more as a democracy. Chris Hardwick: I'm understanding what you're saying. I'm so excited. Marilyn Mason: So I think that The Governor is going to lead the zombies because he's so bad. And he's going to lead them on a personal vendetta. Chris Hardwick: I tell you what. If you're right, I'm going to be so mad, because I'm not understanding anything else that you've said tonight, and this is actually a very good, lucid point.
Manson on Gale Anne Hurd's point that elderberries reduce the amount of time that people are sick with flu. Marilyn Manson: Can you take that for Jack's genital warts? (Referring to fellow guest Jack Osbourne). Chris Hardwick: We have a caller. What's you name and where are you calling from? Marilyn Manson: He doesn't have those. I'm just kidding.
Manson on The Walking Dead comic books. Marilyn Manson: I didn't want to spoiler alert myself, so I didn't read them. I bought them all.
Manson on Daryl and Michonne. Marilyn Manson: Can I make a strong prediction? Michonne and Daryl [makes scissors coming together with his hands]. Chris Hardwick: You think Michonne and Daryl are going to scissor each other. Marilyn Manson: I think they are going to hook up.
