The Guardian

This must be the funniest video I have seen in my life:

youtube.com/watch?v=aLXsOO6qXHc

I genuinely couldn't stop laughing at it, probably because of his tone.

IMO they should have this guy reviewing papers on RTÉ...

Literally watch the first 5-6 minutes and I bet you'll be unable to stop laughing!!

I think the fact that he over-reacts at the leftist stance is what makes it hilarious.

Guy:Incognito · 10-12-2018 10:18am

I just laughed for a solid 5 minutes.

Guy:Incognito · 10-12-2018 10:19am

Just to be clear. My last post was in no way connected to the op. I didn't watch his video.

I just wanted people to know I was laughing now.

I think you should. It's the most hilarious things I've seen in years, but I think he's right in his opinions.

I genuinely agree with the guy's views but his overreaction was beyond amusing.

You bet. Watching a twit in a mask yammering on, might as well consult the local wino for rolling news updates.

But he's right about the looney left Guardian.

The funniest thing about that video is your man's god awful skullet hair. Let it go mate, it's over.

luckypat · 10-12-2018 10:33am

2:50 to 4:30 is the funniest part of the entire video IMO.

Omackeral · 10-12-2018 10:33am

If that's the funniest thing you've ever seen OP then you need to broaden your horizons. For example, check out this little tot's reaction to herbal tea...

I just find the bit where he sees the article about the Brexit remainers and goes COMPLETELY over the top absolutely hilarious.

mariaalice · 10-12-2018 10:41am

A yes reading a newspaper to get annoyed and worked up a great pastime. At least he is able to read. It is very funny.

dr.fuzzenstein · 10-12-2018 10:43am

Yes, the Guardian is disgraceful. People should turn to impartial and reliable publications like the Daily Mail or The Sun. :rolleyes:
That man is Brexit personified.

suicide_circus · 10-12-2018 10:43am

I can tell by the balding ponytail and black mask that your man in the video is a reasonable guy

I have my doubts.

ancapailldorcha · 10-12-2018 10:45am

New account. Video dump. Seems legit.

Badly Drunk Boy · 10-12-2018 10:51am

I liked the bit that I thought was good, but I didn't like the bit I thought wasn't good. I originally thought the first 5 or 6 minutes were great but I narrowed it down to the bit between 2.53 and 4.28. Then I had a sandwich.

super_furry · 10-12-2018 10:57am

Nevermind the mask, what the **** is going on with his hair?

Skull + Mullet = Skullet. Truly inexcusable.

I bet no one saw the monkey walking past at 2:35

riffmongous · 10-12-2018 11:20am

I'm a little confused by the video.. so the cops knew internal affairs was setting them up?

I couldn't watch this insane drivel if a UFO crashed in the background and Elvis came out of the wreckage riding Shergar.
I was just waiting for him to start smearing his poo on the walls.

Gave you a decent chance OP and watched 4 minutes then i stopped. Didn't laugh once.

TomSweeney · 10-12-2018 12:09pm

Is he on the toilet ?

TomSweeney · 10-12-2018 12:15pm

I can imagine this guy getting hammered and messing with the Sword hanging up behind him ...

NIMAN · 10-12-2018 12:19pm

I get the feeling that guy doesn't believe most of what hes saying or arguing against, he's just doing it for a bit of craic.

Franz Von Peppercorn · 10-12-2018 12:51pm

I watched 1 minute. He seems to be on the John.

Grayson · 10-12-2018 12:53pm

watched it. have no idea how people can find that funny. The guy seems to have issues.

btw, at the beginning he complains about a poll that said support was growing for a second brexit referendum. He says it's a poll of guardian readers so it can't be trusted.

It was a poll commissioned by the guardian, not a poll of the guardian readers.

Here's the story.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jan/26/britons-favour-second-referendum-brexit-icm-poll

And did anyone read the comments?

There was a law series called in the early 2000s called The Guardian, in which Will Ferrell appears in one episode, but under the name Phil Weston, not Will Ferrell. Two years later, he was in the film Kicking & Screaming where his character's name was Phil Weston.

This isn't in any way relevant to this thread or the goon in that YouTube video.

Grayson · 10-12-2018 1:14pm

I went to look at the users other video's. There are people here saying he's just having a laugh in that video. Honestly, you'll change your mind if you look at his other video's. I know the word crazy is over used, but jesus this guy is crazy.

He seems a perfectly average proponent of Brexit to me.

The video and article are almost one year old.

Why are you posting it?

You genuinely created an account purely to promote this video.

The Guardian is just a Marxist mouthpeice, but its in Britain so I couldn't give a care. TheJournal.ie is Ireland's version of the guardian, such a piece of absolute leftwing vitriol, continuously pushing absolute thrash.

You can't compare one to the other. I don't think you've read either.

btw, you know the guardian is owned by a trust? Since it's now owned by either shareholders or a private owner it's the only truly independent major newspaper in the UK.

It is not Marxist. It is a Middle-Class "Socialist" paper for the chattering classes. It just rabbits on and on about identity politics.

They absolutely despised Corbyn and his socialist policies when he first won the Labour leadership. Every op-ed on there was saying this was the end of the Labour Party.

They only back him now because he's not going anywhere and it is ABTT (Anyone But The Tories).

Also, would a Marxist newspaper back a neoliberal banking shill like Macron?
The Guardian did!

Macron Vs Le Pen. That's the important part that you left out.

Any paper except for a far right one would back Macron.

The part of the video between 3:36 and 4:56 is comedy gold IMO.

The point about the greenhouse gases and the travel magazine, as well as the bit about the sport section from 8:42 to 9:24. It pretty much sums up my own feelings about football:D:D.

I think he's sitting on a chair BTW.

luckypat · 10-12-2018 9:01pm

Also from 0:50 to 1:20, where he says the poll is fake and destroys the front page in anger had me in stitches.

I know it seems weird that I posted this, it's not to promote it its just to share that I found this video to be an absolute hoot. I think his accent contributes to that.

I am confused about the mask though.

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts · 10-12-2018 9:15pm

The Guardian has its lunatic feminist fringe for sure but it also has so many great, informative and interesting pieces that don’t have anything to do with politics really. The comments sections are often a good read too.

I think people who refuse to read any Guardian article because of the feminist stuff are truly missing out.

It's because the paper will tell them somethign that contrasts their wordl view and they won't be able to handle it. Most of the identity politics stuff is in the opinions section anyway.

luckypat · 10-12-2018 9:45pm

I think he has a point about The Guardian but his overreacting is brilliant.

The bit from 3:30 to 5:00 should be considered a comedic classic.

His reaction to the guy with the EU cap and the absolute DESTRUCTION of the chap who was talking about immigration was almost enough to make me stop breathing from laughter!!
