I'm really not interested in watching a video from someone who has no problem naming their channel after an Incel catch phrase.

Poor Liam Neeson.... the guy is actually a pretty good actor and he's no reduced to a one line catch phrase.

On the other hand, he got $20 million for Taken 3, so it's hard to feel too sorry for him...

Yeah fuck-all- and I never said any bullshit like that quoted above, someone put bullshit words and misquoted me and used a catch-phrase label to justify their own bullshit. I take full responsibility for the word, child.

You newt, continue to take anything I say and and formulate an opinion that satisfies yourself and your damaged ego, period. You have an uncanny inability to derive meaning or truth from anything I have to say motivated by hatred and self-delusion.

I love Calhoun Tubbs. I like the sketch when a white rocker offered Tubbs some weed. Tubbs told him that he don't do drugs, but when the rocker offer him some money to smoke it, Tubbs said he would do it. In fact, he said "I'm high right now." We forever used his catch phrase.

Well, Cenk dialled down his antics for his Wolf-PAC presentation at Columbia two months ago. To be honest though, I rather enjoy his antics, just like I enjoy Cenk's/Ben's epic rants and Michael's/Steven's more serious commentaries.
It's good entertainment.

I mostly agree with you. I enjoy Cenk's takedowns of hypocrisy immensely.

He has, on occasion, gone overboard.
And his catch phrases can be overused.
Mostly entertaining tho.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The wig, the glasses, the catch-phrase, brilliant.

Nah. This is a good try, but it doesn't quite work.

If you cast yourself as a victim, then it isn't funny.

Try again?

I know how to settle this whole rape thing.
Let's start making castration jokes. The male equivalent of being raped -- something violent and horrific and something devotedly to be avoided, but it will be a joke! It'll be funny!
We can start a trend, here on the Sift.
It would have to be worded well -- I am not clever that way.
We have lots of clever folks with words here -- can someone come up with a catch phrase that involves castration? That is funny? Oh, and it has to be clear that a woman will be doing the castrating, from a powerful position. Something Lorena Bobbitt-esque.
Once we can get on an equal playing field in terms of jokes about sexual violence, then maybe @tsquire1 and others (like, me) won't get so upset about casual references towards sexual violence towards women.
That's the real problem, isn't it? The one way street of "jokes"? Let's empower women with the funny idea that any given night, they might snap and cut off the penis of the man lying in bed next to them, sound asleep.
Then we can all laugh together.
Works for me.

I used to be able to tell rape jokes, but then someone took my balls away. I used to find rape jokes funny, but then my balls got taken away. I used to be able to laugh about castration jokes, but now I just sing soprano!
I used to find all jokes funny, but since my balls got taken away, I just sit on the internet all day telling people what's funny

The phrase, "it's better to burn out than to fade away," was famous outside of the context of Neil's song long before Cobain swallowed a shotgun. It was borrowed as the opening line of Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages," and perhaps most famously by the Kurgan in Highlander (as he's leaving the church). It was basically a well known catch-phrase by the time Cobain ended his life.

I loved Ron Paul's half-smile of resignation? pity? when the crowd lapped up Santorum's empty catch-phrase at 3:50.

It seemed to say "Oh, you poor, fearful, weak-minded people."

Even though I've heard countless statements and sentiments to this errect. It's still unbelievably shocking to me. It's cutting close to bragging about being corrupt.


Yeah, to us it does. Then again, we choose to use our brain.

To the mindless fucks he's courting, the "undecided GOP voter," they just don't have a clue. If they had enough brain cells to rub together some logic, they wouldn't be registered Republicans.

Heartless, clueless, amoral assholes. That's all the GOP has sent up the last few decades. Cute catch phrases, prideful ignorance... it seems as those are all it takes to get noticed nowadays...

The commentator (or at least one of them - the loudest one) is a guy called Rob Warner.

My boyfriend edits an online mountain biking magazine (Am I allowed to mention it here or is that akin to self linking?! Ah fuck it... what's a community like this for, if not for sharing?!...
http://wideopenmag.co.uk/news/11366/wideopen-magazine-issue-16-read-it-now-for-free ) and was almost as excited as the commentators during this run...

Rob's a bit of a legend apparently. He even has an a silly iPhone soundboard app with some classic/annoying catch phrases. Try 'getting in the mood' when your boyfriend has that idiot in bed with you

It's what is commonly called an inside joke,
Further defined as a joke that isn't funny to almost anyone.

If that is the case, I think the title is doing the video a disservice. It is a good video and quite frankly I am apprehensive about up voting it because I really just don't get what about it would even comically make the man "statist."
I would say that the "inside joke" would probably be best served in a comment, or even a profile/private message.


OK, if you have to explain a joke I guess it's a pretty shitty joke.

This is directed at @blankfist. His catch phrase being, "Statist Idiots."
I have, in the past, purposely misunderstood him to mean, "Static Idiots." I was looking for a video about static electricity and found this one wherein a man unwittingly sets off a conflagration with just a spark and immediately thought of blankfist and his tendency to sometimes go off (a tendency which I also see in myself). I'm confident that blankfist can take a joke (or, maybe, take a poke at me) and didn't think about others seeing this and being confused.

So @blankfist, should I change the title--and just drop the joke?

I think he got it.

Shut the fuck up, dumb ass (my new catch phrase)
