. from youtube poster:

At 3:30 you hear "they've tried everything but a _______" with the last word being scrambled. It's the word Bureaucracy. However the word bureaucracy is used earlier in the routine and may have been placed over the word crucifixion as suggested by Kiptw.

At 4:25 we hear "spend more than you earn and loan money to ________" In this case the censored word is Mexicans.

The scrambling is achieved by simply reversing that segment of the audio. This works well since most people will just assume they didn't hear it right, or maybe their TV had a glitch.

Why they chose these 2 items to censor is a mystery to me, this aired around new years day 1988/89.

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

Amazing- I was just watching this on YouTube - following the same links as you obviously. Why the hell would they censor that? I don't get it. Spooky.

hahaha, the first rule of videosift is:
1. NEVER admit that you just follow links from other videos already sifted.

about the censorship, i guess they thought the weed thing is harmless enough, and animal rights are not so important, but religion and racism... hot buttons.

btw what is this *findthumb all about?

A different thumbnail image for this video could not be found for findthumb request by MINK.

Holay crap that is awesome. Noone could get onstage with a routine like that today, not Carlin, Rock, Chappelle, or anyone else.

Upvote for Jimmy Swaggart reference (fundamentalist dropping his pants in a cheap motel room)!

The reverse audio on "a crucifixion" is seriously spooky. Even the well-heeled, applause-prompted audience of 1988 was uncomfortable with it, and Brown clearly caught it and quickly moved on.

can we count what percentage of this act is still relevant today? how about all of it?

weird huh. if bill maher said all this it would be out of the queue. sifting==fascinating
maybe i should retitle it "The Bill Maher of the eighties!!!!!! lol 0_O"

as you can maybe see, i went for "A. Whitney Brown says legalise weed, sell it to japan"

interesting, got another vote real quick!
