Report: Growing Ranks Of Nouveau Poor Facing Discrimination From Old Poor

[TheFeelin89]

GOD DAMMIT. THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING VIDEO EVER. FUCKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nooobsaibot]

I know it's all a joke, but I could see some truth to it too. Like old poor might be thinking "damn, what a waste. Had every chance I never did, and blew it".

[RazzorAux]

Clifford Banes finally appears !!!

He has been around all along !

[scottg4520]

I want cliffard banes book!!!!!

[MrFreako2010]

@sp1duh It's easy when you never show up for work.

[sarah11790]

They won't let him play poke the rat with them!

[peanut1million]

[kyuubitamer]

[TheJoshMuse]

Padawon tree I'm gonna have to ask you a big bowl of shut the fuck up

[PadawonTree]

i mean if Buddism crosses Wicca its bad Luck (ladyluck northstar) Zuess aka Ra, Luna the moon with Jesus the man on it, and Gaia mother Earth. stars r angels and all under the ozone layer is pergatory. as for an existance of hell i have yet to learn.

[leeroy144]

@PadawonTree What the fuck are you talking about?

[SeeTimeRun391]

@PadawonTree If you want to learn about the existence of hell, here are some pointers:

1) lose your home

2) lose your job

3) get passed over for employment because of age discrimination

4) be unable to qualify for social services because you USED TO MAKE a decent wage

5) get sick with no insurance

6) lose a loved one

7) have no one to turn to for emotional support

If that ain't hell my friend, then I'd really really hate to find out what is.

[PadawonTree]

green=peace and luck

[lozthegreat1]

theese vids remind me of the radio stations in grand theft auto

[laso123]

This isent real idiot bitches

[zillatamer]

Cliffard Banes could write a book about what happens when hes gone.

[lordkomodo123]

It gonna be great when Clifford actually shows up lol

[TheLeviathanZero]

Clifford Banes manages to do everything except making it on the show..

[Maplesyrup41]

hahahahahaha

[j0nasfEy]

someone is sleeping under the table ahahaha

[superkushidango]

Ballsack

[MrSafetymeeting]

I found one of them nouveau poor families in my dumpster the other night! Outrageous. That's my food. They better learn how things work soon or Ima start woopin sum ass.

[myastroflight]

ROFL @ 2:01 "They won't let him play poke the rat with them"

[mrt110883]

Does anyone remember onion using this panel to talk about rich bs super rich? This reminded me of it quite a bit.

[snoball78]

The Allstate ad with Dean Winters is the only one I don't skip;D

[arbark1]

1:05 yes, that´´s what´´s great about "america" (America is the name of a Continent, not of the nameless "usa") and about the economic model you´´re imposing all over the world. It good to see a few of you get it.

[cromartie800]

@arbark1

North America is a continent! America is the USA, and the USA is America! Without us it would be a part of Germany!

[DeniseMatteau]

*LOL* as usual, you are too close to the truth! the "freegans" are displacing genuine homeless behind the finest restaurants to raid those dumpsters! (I know this from their youtube videos. I actually shop only at the finest grocery booteeks like Walmart, myself.)

[mthatguy1111]

One of my favorite parts of this show is hearing what CB is up to

[RicothePsycho]

The sands of time are not unkind to the nouveau rehydrated. The gilled Parisian carnival worker pays weekly tributes to the bluish and impudent pipefitters hired by Simon's tobacconists. Lower the telescope, Rafi! You are the shah now and the purple-faced sloganeers are the Kentucky Derby's only hope!

[HowdoIdothatonmypc]

poke the rat, i play left poker

[fangs1234]

Where does the Onion get the money to make these videos?

[superjeff14]

@fangs1234 They get some money from this channel I suppose. I believe they also have a newspaper, but I'm not sure if it is free of charge.

[WarpeaceWar6]

@superjeff14 it is free cause i got it when i was in washington and kept it as a souvinere but it was a billion times worse than this

[argozempo]

The Nouveau Poor are a bunch of rubes and dilettantes who know nothing about government cheese or recycling toilet paper.

[kendanielone]

An irony of this story is I saw a real story on CNN of the new poor in tent cities refusing to interact with people had been poor for a while.

[rawelch69]

omfg The Onion is pure genius. SUBSCRIBED!!!

[jonthrashzdrumz]

they won't let him play poke the rat with them

[LocoRedKixx]

@jonthrashzdrumz that made my day i m crying at this moment lol o man.

[redeemer1kamili]

"Mansion Trash!!!"

[westkan]

Common in America as it is anywhere else in the world. 1 group going on how much harder than they have it than another group. Even when both groups are many notches above those on the bottom that truly have nothing spare, living moment to moment. Unable to rest lest some1 else beats them to that life saving piece of garbage.

[YesIm10]

@westkan

I do hope you know this is fake.

[raginraptor]

Mansion trash lol brilliant

[tattooninja]

FUCK RED BULL

[starcrafter13terran]

I like how Onion tells it as it is with satire, yet "regular" news is so controlled and jaded it's like listening to a bad formula for writing stories. But, my enjoyment of Onion goes much deeper than just the clips you see, it's when someone takes it serious that I am really entertained. I got into a huge flamewar on another youtube about the bear attack with a guy arguing with me.

[ClanRooster]

ROFL ! That sure looks like Jon Voight at 02:20...?

[WakaTakaB]

"Its nothing go back to bed" ROFL

[nonameposter]

It is funny: In fact esp. the poor workers fight the unempolyed , while the capitalist class is getting richer and richer.

[Sylar03]

"Marvel announces plans to kill off Stan Lee." Ha ha!

[kevlonk]

Meh. He'll probably be resurrected a few story arcs later.

[Highstar25]

it's probably because that new manga 'ultimo' he's writing with the creator of shaman king is making the other franchises jealous

[G3r4pro]

when is Clifford Baines going to show up for the show? lol

[Eladas334]

It's an allegory for the Tea Party-Bush/Palin attitude towards immigrants.

[randomxm1]

The completly forgot to mention the lack of effort that made the old poor who they are today. You can't be truly poor trying to make ends meet. This is the kind of crap that gives people not willing to help them selves a bad image.

[RuggedBaphomet]

I'm guessing you're a fan of Reaganomics...

[reven676]

realy?

[yared94]

hahahahahaahahaahaha XDDDDDD

[Pull0utBoy]

"the poor man's club"

hahhaahhah

[Clearie552]

LOl!! this series adds a touch of realism with the poor people under the table, and the other one with nancy have a violent daydream

[adfgadfgadfg]

this is pro, how much do these people get paid to perform the greatest job in the world?

[shoplifting1is1fun]

@adfgadfgadfg

A very large amount I hope, because they deserve it.

[gingergiblet]

@adfgadfgadfg They get paid in rolls of crack

[k1n6k1n6]

LOLO , davids sleeping under the table XD

[589421]

sounds like mansion trash

[dm121984]

I really want to know how these actors can keep a straight face when doing this stuff.

[pdblouin33]

Actors? You mean anchors?

Learn english, dumbass.

This is important stuff, why would they even laugh? In my opinion, beggars should be mentally or physically handicapped. I hate all the backpacking kids with beards and smelly shirts that ask me for money.

They chose their life.

[ashvio]

@pdblouin33 lol are you serious? you know this is fake right?

[Foxlover666]

the onion is a parody newspaper and group. Look it up. Seriously.

[Foxlover666]

Good job, too bad they don't give out golden stars out for special ed trolls.

[Foxlover666]

Tough Shit. If you can't match wits with a supposed pervert like myself, boo fucking hoo. Trolling 101, you DON'T go waving your ass around saying "LOL I trolled you." like you're telling mommy and daddy you took your first shit in the toilet.

Lol, You're cute, you know that? And, -5 points for referencing my highlighted video. Not much material to work with, huh? Close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes. <3

[Isuckatpaintball2]

i know your a troll now kindly shut the fuck up

[JCYK90]

@Isuckatpaintball2

you're*

[c1ickh3r3]

@pbdlouin33...lmfao!! u kno that this is FAKE right??? they ment """ACTORS!!!"""" xDDDD

[TheIr0nMike]

You have potential, but you still have much to learn.

[Kurtplox]

I hope you know that saying "you got trolled" completely negates the whole trolling effect

[harboringanomalies]

Its like an assassin yelling out "I'm currently assassinating!" when doing the job.

[superStarr808]

Have they really been around sence 1869 or is that one of there jokes

[Drath66]

Yeah they have :)

[awarenessis]

The preppies and yuppies had a handbook, there should be a handbook on the 'residentially challenged' with a glossary, etiquette and such.

[derekredtank]

p.o. box

[Habsfan0206]

This is fucking hilarious! Only 'The Onion' can produce this stuff! Love it!

[bretp99]

Speaking of the poor, I enjoy accidentally kicking panhandlers. As long as you say: "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!", you can get away with anything. ;)

[crazymittenz]

I like how her chin wobbles as she says "mustard and relish packets" =]

[aantiawp]

@crazymittenz i lol'd so hard

[smashmouthleonard]

the big lady needs to slow down a bit. lol in her acting thats is.

[kissit012]

they just wanna just cry and shiver rather than fading into the background.. HAHA! XD

[eplemannen]

Sometimes I have a strange desire to leave my home and live as a bum somewhere. I'd probably regret it if I actually did, though.

[maddawgqeiwfje]

poverty is economic security.

you can't lose what you don't have.

[elitecrank617]

poor man cant play poke the rat i fell bad for him

[AZbassist623]

This is so great gatsby

[renger6002]

@AZbassist623 lol love that book

[MchammerAFG]

no ive never heard of this

[ETericET]

OMG, They won't let him play poke the rat with him ?

[grashopper707]

This is sort of funny, but it's pretty darn real (and  very sad) too.

[Isawanangel1X]

yeah this one is too real..tragic

[Sairin13]

And they put Kelsey Grammer in it and called it Hank.

[oalemdemadrid]

WOW! I wanna play poke the rat!

[rigoletto68]

Hilarious!!!!!!

God Bless America!!

[oryctolaguspumpkin]

"He's being fitted for a sarcophagus! So random!

[ValorUnlimited]

Have you heard the other Clifford Banes intros? He's never there and always has some random excuse...

"Rushing to the airport to stop the woman he loves."

"Hunting down the scumbag that killed his father."

"Who is super sorry he couldn't be here and is handling some shit he'll tell you about later."

[MithraMusic]

LOL yeah it's hysterical. "He's out rallying gay marriage..." and I think you quoted all the other ones I can remember.

[ValorUnlimited]

"Who has become the new mayor of Baltimore."

"Who has a term paper due tomorrow."

"Who is really off his game today."

[MithraMusic]

Lol "Out playing Trivial Pirsuit"

[Themostpower]

HAHAHA

"What makes America so special is that how many advances you are born with, you may end up sleeping under a highway"

[VTPPGLVR]

"Marvel announces plans to kill off Stan Lee."

O.O I had to read that three times!!

[ZexkStudios]

we want the black lady!!!!

[A86]

I fell out of my damn chair laughing as soon as I saw the title of this video. Lol!

[3martijns]

Hilarious because not real.

What is real is the generational welfare families of able-bodied people in Britain.

[cecillbill]

where's the black lady? She makes these hella funnier..

[MrNamefag]

"Get these mothafucking spiders off of me!"

[thebigJM92]

ROFLCOPTER! The black lady is by far the best!

[ampsy05]

that was equal parts sad and funny.

[ImmigrationL]

Poke the Rat!

[ki6eki]

[deelaregina]

one day they should say " I'm Greggy Dawson, sitting in for Clifard Bayns who was fired for never showing up to work"

[ubertoker05]

I actually had an internship with these guys, and it was absolutely amazing. All I did was suggest sound bites and funny liners. It was the best job I ever had.

[TheFlowShowDotTV]

How did you get the gig? ..I'd love to work with these crazy, mad genius jokaz... :)

[NCLUSA]

So this is what some people think of as entertainment, this is A number one,first rate Grade A!!, full blown bottom of the barrel!! Crap video, other than that it was a wast of good time.....TheOnion by any other name would still Stink!!!

[Fetrey]

[kittyprydekissme]

I've been poor all my life and it really annoys me when these nouveau poor cry about how bad things have become for them, but they still have all their cool stuff from when they had money.

[khairulnizambakeri]

Superb ending!

[kittyprydekissme]

Yeah, but they're going to resurrect him after a few months, just like they always do.

[flubno]

You know, I got a shitty job and the poor people i work with would give me shit and acted like i was rich because i grew up middle class, you know, my parents are still married and thier not drunks. Real rich people would laugh at me but to these guys I was well off.

[robolizard]

Heh. Marvel Plans to Kill Off Stan Lee.

[chieffw]

[jtwice]

stan lee is the creator of most of the marvel comics such as fantastic four%2Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

Cache-Cont

[HumbleHermit7]
