I thought it was funny because never once have I seen someone so incredibly uncomfortable! Watch Mike Meyers through the whole statement... he looks like he wants to crawl in a hole. That clip just screams AWKWARD!
This particular part of the discussion has nothing to do with what Kanye SAID, and whether or not it's true. That's completely based on each person's opinion, by the way.. Kanye West is no sort of authority on the matter. Whether true or not is completely irrelevant to this discussion, however.
Anyway, poor Mike... that clip is funny, but I bet even Mike still cringes when he sees it.
