wow. I'm impressed. McCain had great timing and well delivered (and written) lines. Where has "this" McCain been in the election ?

7 houses... man... I still can't get over that...

Obama's 'hysterical laughing' smile is wild! ... the Hillary line was great!


(p.s. check the bottom for link to "That one"'s speech)

Maby its because im british that i dont find this funny .

yanky comidy to me is to obvouse to find evan slighty amusing

^ Im Swedish and I find it plenty funny

Whats strange to me is that the obama video has like 50% more votes right now and I dont think Obama was 50% funnier haha, come on, they were both great, a video with mccains face has less chance in the sift?

just can't comfortably watch this, don't think mccain has really got it. obama's was also a little off, but smoother.

i am british.

the jokes were maybe bigger, and the surprise at mccain being funny is maybe bigger, but it still looked fake and sad.

Credit where credit is due, that was pretty funny.

I'm surprised to hear McCain sounding so defeated when talking about the prospects of his campaign.

And props for his respectful nod to Obama. I don't care if he meant it or not; he went up there and said it.

If you wanna take the p1ss out of US comedy, make sure you can string a sentence together without looking like a neanderthal.

Actually looking back at previous comments on your ridiculous spelling, it's as noted one of 2 cases. A) You actually spell like that, so you are a moron or B) you do it on purpose for some inexplicable reason, hence again, you are a moron. I hazard a guess that you actually can not spell, I lived in the UK long enough to know how SHOCKINGLY bad some people's grammatical skills are here. Yes rest of the world, its not all Sherlock Holmes type logic and intelligence this side of the pond......plenty of mouthbreathers around.

I would have a lot more respect for McCain if he was able to maintain this tone throughout his campaign. Kudos for this, even though I will still vote against him for his policies.

all i was aluuding to is that i dont find yanky comidy funny (on avrage) for example although at times i find colbert amusing it seems realy obvouse and contrived.

just because i dont find it funny and i did say I dosenot mean that i am saying that IT inherently is not funny as that would be a stupid comment as comidy is a cultral and seubjective thing. which is why i then sead ( maby its because i am english that i dont find it funny)

i myself like abstract humer and things that dont realy make sence but at the same time do. i like irony and contradictoin but presented in a way where you donot see it coming.

SO ! MR BisH0p69 in reply to your comment of

" If you wanna take the p1ss out of US comedy, make sure you can string a sentence together without looking like a neanderthal."

you are rong in thinking i was taking the piss and your argument that sumone needs to be able to string a sentence together without looking like a neanderthal to be corect about something is a falacouse one. As obvously if sumone states something that is corect then it is corect regardelss of how well thay say it, yes you could argue that there argument would be better recived if thay used comunicated it in the most clear way possable.

id mutch rather sumone sead something that was right in a bad way than sumone who sead something wrong in a good way.


(if you dont want to read my writing because the spelling , grammer is bad then dont and move on i dont come on the sift to write emaculate english.think of it this way, when manny people go swimming for recreatoin thay dont apreach it like an olimpic event thay just do what is required to have fun when swimming ,stay afloat.)

Is that the only reason you could contrive to imagine someone can't spell? ..that they are a moron? I would think, then, that it is you lacking in the intelligence. You'd do well to judge on the value of one's message and not the method of delivery.

Regarding the vid; some good humour, laughed.. but some of it was definately too obvious. Obama's was similar. It's always nice to see a more friendly exchange in the politics though.

Mr westy, apologies for my disagreeable tone on previous comments, I had my reasons. However, what is posted is posted and I will leave it there.
Your state that a good point said in a bad way is better than vice versa is taken, however I contend that a good point said in a good way is even more effective.

You also state that not all recreational swimmers treat their pastime like and olympic event and that we all agree on I would say. HOWEVER, I fear your spelling to be a deliberate attempt at breaking with convention. That in itself points not to a relaxed attutide about rules, but your very own attempt to make some form of statement. In other words, your bad spelling is very clearly a highly deliberate attempt to make some unknown point by breaking with convention, not because you are a "recreational speller"

I have noticed a few other posts here question the necessity of your "inventive" spelling and a few pleading with you to cease this apparently moot endeavour. I fear that whatever your intentions are, they are being wasted.

Perhaps you would care to elaborate on the purpose of this criminal spelling adverture you have embarked on, I for one would really appreciate the divulgence!

so you are basing your argument on a jugment call. its not realy the best way to retort to sumones comment. and asside from that regardeess of me and my spelling my argument that US comidy is mostly obvouse is still 100% valid

BisHOp69, it amuses me that you would go on a rant against the spelling ability of someone who's commenting on a video. The point of commenting on a video is to voice the opinions of what one thinks about the video, the manner in which this is done is hardly of any significance.

You also have failed to Actually comment on any point westy has actually made, with regards to the video, and instead start picking on his spelling. Maybe it's because you can't dispute what he said about US comedy being of a more obvious nature than in the UK?

You also say 'i fear your spelling to be a deliberate attempt at breaking with convention'....and then comment on your own opinion, based on nothing but an obscure conclusion you've come to. Why don't you think hard about any other reasons why a person may not be able to spell properly. Just think about it.

>> ^westy:

Westy, yes, I have clearly made my point about your spelling and I am no longer discussing US humour. If you wish to press on with that, feel free, however I shall not. To bring this point closer to a some sort of conclusion, I would still like to ascertain why you spell the way you do. The question has been asked by others, so I am not alone in this.

I sincerely disagree. If you feel it OK to speak, spell and/or communicate in in whatever fashion takes you fancy, go ahead. Here's an idea, why don't you swap all your "d's" with "m's", "o's" with "e's" and so on??? I mean it's your choice right? Only at some point, someone will get a bit irritated at having to decipher your code. What is kinda what my issue is with Westy's spelling.

Why don't you think hard about any other reasons why a person may not be able to spell properly. Just think about it.

Well if there are actual reasons Westy can't spell properly, has he (or you) ever heard of a spellchecker? I really hope he has, otherwise completing a resumé might be a pointless endeavour.

'I sincerely disagree. If you feel it OK to speak, spell and/or communicate in in whatever fashion takes you fancy, go ahead.

but he's not doing that is he? You've completely blown out of proportion and exagerated his spelling to make your point to counter mine - and therefore its a completely invalid counter argument.
He's not replacing letters in words to the point where it's unreadable. It's still clearly readable and understandable. Clearly it isn't to you, but it is to everyone else. He's not swapping all d's with all m's. Is he. No he is not.

Your response thus far is invalid and void.

Wow...someone is splitting hairs now. Yes I used a fairly extreme example BUT I WAS MAKING A POINT. It's a sliding scale of crappy spelling and writing. Westy might just be misspelling words, but IT'S STILL NOT RIGHT IS IT? Is he writing/spelling correctly? No. Is he? Not he is not. That's my point.

Yes it's still readable, but why does it have to be so bloody bad??? I never said it's unreadable, I said it's like code with some of the words he invents.
And it's not just me asking these questions. Go look at a few other replies to his posts. People have griped.

Now if you please, let him answer my question or not, if he so chooses. I am getting fairly tired of you defending him and making me repeat myself.

Your response thus far is both galling and dull.

Schumi, Schumi, Schumi....I know I'm hogging the posts here, but grant me just one thing extra I have to add. You said the following in a previous post for this video:

>> ^schumi_4_ever:
'BisHOp69, it amuses me that you would go on a rant against the spelling ability of someone who's commenting on a video. The point of commenting on a video is to voice the opinions of what one thinks about the video, the manner in which this is done is hardly of any significance.'

This in itself is a valid point as it expresses your opinion....only thing is, 2 weeks ago you this was part of the description on Colin Farrell/Jonathan Ross interview video posted by alien_concept:

>> ^alien_concept:
'I always thought that Colin Farell was an arrogant dickhead and this interview couldn't of proved me more wrong'

and to this you then replied:

>> ^schumi_4_ever:
'couldn't have. Couldn't Have. COULDN'T HAVE. COULDN'T....HAVE. HAVE. HAVE. HAVE. COULDN'T HAVE. FOR FU*KS SAKE. COULDN'T HAVE.

SHOULDN'T HAVE.

WOULDN'T HAVE.

COULDN'T HAVE.

GODDIT? Good.'

And of course, adding later:

>> ^schumi_4_ever:
'no, the reason why i wrote what i did is because its not even a case of bad grammar, otherwise i'd bother writing full sentences with puncutation. The amount of people saying 'of' instead of 'and' because when they talk they say 'couldn't of' (i dont) is shocking.
im not having a go at the fact that its grammatically wrong, im having a go at the retardedness of it. it harks the downfall of society.'

SO!!!.....I thought you seem to think that the manner in which you voice an opinion is 'hardly of any significance'. But you then tell poor alien_concept he is bringing about the end of civilization by doing exactly that? Mistaking 'couldn't of' with 'couldn't have'. I mean, I could still read and understand it. Where's the problem, eh schumi??? Or am I dealing with 2 different schumis here? Do you perhaps suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder??? And if you are any of shumis other persons, WELCOME TO VIDEOSIFT!

lol defend stick !

schumi evan though he ranted like a retarded lepper dog about aliens writing he didnot assurt that is piont was invalid. in contrast BisH0p69 who sead
( "If you wanna take the p1ss out of US comedy, make sure you can string a sentence together without looking like a neanderthal." )

which assurts that an opionioin is only valid if it is writen "properly" .
So scumi is not actualy bing entiraly hypocritical, maby interms of anger but interms of argumant and logic he is still consistant.

Well Bishop, i'm not being hypocritical at all.
The 2 cases are completely different, and the reason is you have to look at the context in which they were said.
You were picking up on westys spelling, which is insignificant in terms of putting his point across, and the words were still readable. I was picking on the fact that society has adopted this ridiculous thing of replacing 'have' with 'of' because of the way they speak, and adopting it as normal english, which is completely different to spelling a few letters wrong, because you're changing an entire word, it's a very retarded thing to do. Also when westy says something, his spelling doesn't immediately make the sentence retarded, because he strings together a logical sentence which makes perfect sense, and is articulate in the way he puts his point across. Now, in this case, your poor analogy from the previous video argument actually stands in this, because someone is completely changing a word to the point of annoyance. It's the fact that common people who say 'of' instead of 'have' (because only the common people in this country talk like that as it's their accent) has somehow been accepted as the norm and no one picks up on it.
Also, i wasn't criticising his point at all, i wasn't saying 'your sentence wasn't correct therefore your point isn't' whereas YOU were saying westys point was invalid, just because of his spelling - as westy has put in the above post.
It's very easy to put something out of context and criticise it. As you've demonstrated.
I also demonstrate my annoyance in this particular thread by repeating it in a 'rant' form, so it is clear that i'm showing my annoyance at the way society has adopted this way of speaking as the norm, rather than a specific grammatical error.
It's also an easy thing to change, where'as westys spelling, for whatever reason, is the way it is, but it's obvious that it's not done on purpose, and the points he makes as i've said, are articulate and clever, and so his spelling is excusable as it's irrelevant to the discussion - you made it relevant. And it isn't.

Also.............you fail to understand the simple concept i've tried to put across that.
The point is invalid if it's extreme to the point of incomparability. So fair enough you were trying to make a point. But......the point is completely deemed void because you're making it using wrong assertions.

>> ^BisH0p69
Well if there are actual reasons Westy can't spell properly, has he (or you) ever heard of a spellchecker? I really hope he has, otherwise completing a resumé might be a pointless endeavour.


Sorry, I just had to interject here to just put something across. I'm an artist and I inherently end up working with and around a lot of dyslexics (but then this problem would exist with other spelling issues such as english not being a first language).

A spellchecker is a tool for your average person to make sure they're spelling right and they don't automatically work well for people with certain degrees of dyslexia or an unclear understanding of english.

A quick example; a person (who has a language issue) types in 'casul' when they want to say 'causal' and the spellchecker presents two options 'causal' and 'casual'. They can't necessarily distinguish between them because of the language issue and unless they want to go and put every word that has been checked into dictionary.com (an unreasonable time investment, in my opinion, for a video comment) then by spellchecking in this manner their resultant message may actually be more unclear than it would've been when just left spelt incorrectly. After all, an incorrect spelling prompts a reader's mind to decide what the word should have been based on context, however a wrong word spelt correctly asserts that the writer has written according to their intention and are simply not making sense.

Points all well made people. I have a bit of a hangup with bad spelling and grammar as a whole and see it and the people who commit the "crime" in a vey negative light. Thats probably why I started this whole discussion off with that rather rude first posting about Westy (which I have apoligised for previously)
Yes I can understand what he writes so I guess I'm just going to have to get over my hangup when I read his posts
