The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time (TMGLMOAT) is a Radiohead DVD released on December 1, 2004 and directed and edited by Chris Bran, who is one half of the Vapour Brothers. The film contains all four episodes of TMGLMOAT and features unheard songs with numerous live videos. It also has animations and interviews with the band.
Some of the sections of TMGLMOAT were created by Chris Bran, Stanley Donwood and Radiohead, while others were directed by people who submitted videos to Radiohead and were selected for inclusion. Each of the four episodes is introduced and closed by commentary from Chieftan Mews, a digitally composited and likely fictional character thought to be either Nigel Godrich or Stanley Donwood.
Several of the TMGLMOAT films were shown as interval entertainment at Jonny Greenwood's performances at the 2005 Ether Festival.
Rick Hind and Ajit N. Rao produced two segments by The Tripti Ensemble Crew, one called "When an Angel Tries to Sell you Something", and another called "Freak Juice".
The DVD also features interviews with Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien as part of a feature entitled 'My Showbiz Life'. However, Thom Yorke's voice is altered to an unnaturally deep pitch, whilst Ed O'Brien responds to questions by emitting braying noises.
The DVD booklet has the title printed on both sides with different artwork. Some speculate that it was intended for the DVD to have two different covers; however, the artwork pattern on the inside cover does not match the artwork in the clear spine.

[edit] History
TMGLMOAT was originally developed to be a show on a regular television channel, or even on Radiohead's own channel, though this plan fell through.
The first three episodes of TMGLMOAT were shown on Radiohead Television, a website where they could be watched free in QuickTime format. However, after running for several months this website was replaced with an advert for the DVD.
Radiohead's contract with record label EMI (Parlophone/Capitol) was fulfilled after Com Lag, so the DVD was self-released, only available to order through the band's own website and certain stores.
