"Have you ever noticed that a lot of people are walking around these days using their 'feet'? Oh, you have? Well, have you noticed they wear clothes? Oh, you have and you think I'm an old crank whose long outlived his usefulness and will be known for nothing after his passing? Well, you little mound of mouse shit, have you ever walked into Buchenwald two weeks before VE day and seen the corpses stacked like firewood and be the first reporter to file a story on the atrocities there? You ever flown in a B-17 over Germany while the Luftwaffe was shooting the thing into flying Swiss cheese? Well, I have. So fuck you.

I'm Andy Rooney."

You know, as a kid, whenever my parents watched 60 minutes I always liked the Andy Rooney segment and didn't really care much for the others. I think it's because his kind of observations ring true with 7 and 8 year-olds. As a kid you might think, yeah, that IS true! People ARE carrying things! How 'bout that!

I dunno, maybe I was just a weird old-man-kid.

I heard a rumor that Andy Rooney doesn't even know he's on TV. They just tape a video camera to the top of a dummies head and record his whole day, which involves nonstop rambling.

Part two of the report Andy Rooney notices people holding things to their ears and talking. Finds out it is something called a "mobile phone".

Sigh... I've become convinced that Andy Rooney is simply kept on the payroll as an inside joke amongst the journalists at 60 minutes.. sort of like the old uncle at thanksgiving that your no good cousin starts talking to just to get him to say something crazy and make everyone laugh at the old coot.

People carrying things? seriously?

Never underestimate the power of a shameless plug for one of your own videos. Mine wallowed in obscurity until I piggy backed off of this one! Thanks, Castles!

Andy Rooney notices a lot of things.

Reminds me of one I posted a little while ago:

I'm pretty sure that at some point his rants are going to sound something like, "Did you ever notice how people breathe air? I wonder what people are doing with all of this air that they're breathing. I'm pretty sure that with all of these people taking in so much air, that I'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain. Do they own that air? Is that my air they're inhaling? Pretty soon I'm going to stop using my air, so can I give my air to my heirs? I think they'd like that."

I you were to play the Andy Rooney game on this one, this is what it would be:
