Herman Cain drops out, quotes POKEMON MOVIE verbatim

[gasolinedreamer]

WOW. Where do they find these people? The GOP Race is a Comedy Show, nothing more.

[KINGBADASS100]

It's nice too see someone else talking about Pokemon The Movie 2000. Shame it had to be Herman Cain

[MTMiPower]

...damn

[symetricbody]

man what a jackass

[9keith1]

Does any one know which season of Pokemon he quoted? If you know please tell me

[NicolasJz]

@9keith1 Closing credits of "Pokémon: The Movie 2000"

[SheWhoLovesPineapple]

@9keith1 It's the theme song of the second movie, Pokemon 2000.

[sockjockid]

Did he win the presidential election

[sowhatbitch103]

@sockjockid yes. yes he did sockjockid. he's the president of american and the world of pokemon. every pizza you buy, starting February 26, will come in the shape of a pokemon. all our tax dollars will go to fund more pokemon movies and clothing. we will also be focred to change our flag to a giant pokaball (or how ever you spell it).

-this is life now. because hermin cain is president of the united states

[etherealshinobi11]

He could've easily just said: "My POKEMANS lemme show you 'em :D" Boom! Votes won. President of nerdy, fat virgins of America..easy.

[DRDRPERRY]

0:46 ITS NEVER EASY....... BEING CHEEESY LOL

[AYCHMENG]

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL BEEAYATCH

[freshprince512]

herman cain is the coolest guy in america. i swear i would have voted for him. just too funny.

[barelycertain]

@freshprince512

It's awesome that he quotes Pokemon, but don't let that fool you. He's still a republican, still against gay marriage and everything.

[AEgamesFtw]

@barelycertain He quoted it by mistake originally....he credited it to a "poet".

[BeautifulMawMusic]

@barelycertain pokemon to gay marriage, what the fuck?

[vprakhov]

I could use pants.

[1C9J9S5]

imagine if he started saying the pokemon theme song

[8peregrint8]

imagine if he were president in the 1940's doing pokemon quotes while battling the nazis and the great depression

[revan89898]

The irony is that Barack Obama took his slogan from bob the builder but that never got noticed by the media. But the catch phrase can we do it yes we can came from bob the builder

[Vistrix]

Plant.

[90zosoman09]

lol he's still got a point it's not where it came from the message itself I like it. But again pick another quote herman xD

[esoberanis09]

Wanna be Martin Luther King Jr and Wanna be Pokemon Master!

[thebioFAN]

God.... i wish im american... I WANNA VOTE FOR THIS GUY

he deserves to be a great pokemon master (y)

[AmandaMcSwaggerr]

Just. What. You. Caaaan. Do.

[permexOQ]

Cain should not have used that quote. We knew he was bad but after using that Pokemon quote his campaign was really......Jynxed.

[gmoney1070]

hes an awful public speaker

[jonposa]

GOT TO CATCH EM ALL

[trainofaaron]

The Great Thing About it is that it is from Pokemon. Pokemon taught me so much. Im so happy he quoted that even though he's a fucken joke. Smartest thing he ever said hands down.

[JMitchVELOCITY0627]

You can't catch 'em all

[jr973mack]

"gotta catch em all"

[Brains4uhzombie]

President of the United States < Pokemon Master

[BradyDouglassTV]

This is A-MA-ZING

[genestarwindjf80]

There's something wrong with this guy. No wonder someone doesn't want him in the Presidential campaign.

[cowgoesmoo2]

Oh he's got a mission alright.

[BlowtheBridge]

Youtube is suspending my posts.... Imagine that

[MrAmericanidiot1995]

@6mmWarrior how do you think I feel? Especially after hearing this after supporting him for awhile.

-.-

[bloodlust177]

.... oh whats this snowflake on the screen *clicks* what sorcery is this

[ReflexxProductions]

i wonder what his favorite pokemon is???

[Mbombed]

i want a president that bold enough to admit he likes pokemon

[6mmWarrior]

Americans can be really stupid sometimes.

[Spaisekraft]

@6mmWarrior Er, what? What was stupid about what he just said?

[15brosnant]

No obviously we told him he is retarded if you look at the banner on the bottom he is canceling his presidential run

[bigbrain457]

LMAO!!! wtf americans, is this who you wanna elect?

[Spaisekraft]

@bigbrain457 I'm confused. The quote he gave is well written and meaningful, and he stated he didn't care where it came from because it actually means something. Maybe we should elect morons that run turn our country into a giant shithole like 99% of Europe.

[lpcroc]

HERMANN CAIN, I CHOOSE YOU!!!!!!!

[Mbombed]

@lpcroc

LOL

[fcnatordog]

@1:42 "...uninted states of america and move this shiny poke- ahem! i mean city, move this shiny city."

[tep2005]

Now I'm glad he didn't become a real Republican candidate.

[ePiCprodz]

He wanted to be the very best. Like no one ever was , then he took an arrow in the knee so he suspended his campaign.

[pentabay]

@ePiCprodz howd you manage to say something that gay

[ePiCprodz]

@pentabay how'd you know it was gay? u gay lord or something lol

[pentabay]

@ePiCprodz bc i was having sex w you're mom so i kno it wasnt strait

[thedude98022]

Pause at 2:03. Cain and his twin?

[djadoinwork]

Herman Cain isn't a cheater, he just wanted to "catch them all" ...

[ishaan212]

@djadoinwork Meh... how do you know he didn't use and action replay?

[LegoBeyblader2246]

LOL WTF?! He is pretty weird and cool to say such an strange quote in a public announcment.

[HornPlayer02]

Professor Oak was right. Be careful how you use your pokeballs.

[chibblywubbly]

I use to run for President too,but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[Smokecall]

@chibblywubbly An arrow to the knee stopped you? Do you have ANY idea what it's like to run for president?

[smokeyjoe489]

@chibblywubbly When you say "run for president", you do know there is no actual "running" involved, don't you? Even so, many presidential candidates have run for office with very limited mobility. John McCain suffered numerous injuries in the Vietnam War that crippled him, and FDR was actually wheelchair bound! So no offense, but if you let a knee injury (how’d you get shot with an arrow anyway?) stand in between you and your dreams, you are nothing but a quitter.

[maichips]

@smokeyjoe489 I think you may have misunderstood chibblywibbly's intent with that comment. The line "but then I took an arrow to the knee" is what's known as an internet meme, a viral idea that somehow to spreads all over the internet. This particular meme originated with a videogame called Skyrim. I think you'll be able to learn more about it with a quick Google search.

[Philly7781]

may you go and catch them all hermin, godspeed

[peskeyplumber]

Herman Cain used an escape rope.

[johnjohnison]

@peskeyplumber You sir have won one internet. Use it wisely.

[StikManJones]

@peskeyplumber AHAHHAHA

[yttikazyttikiz]

I can't believe he resorted to POKEMON for the sake of a quote that generic!

[nauticazn25]

and don't edit this video so it looks like i'm screaming : "I KILLED EARL MILLFORD!!"

[mahockey98]

look team rocket made 3 accounts to dislike this

[lifesucks288]

Wobba-feut?

[LiveFreeorDieGuy]

Herman Cain's favorite Pokemon is "Pikachu". Think about it.

[TheIsaac552]

he should be president

[6menonaplane]

Greatest Political Farewell Speech in US History!

[KesselRunner606]

Alternatives Cain could have used 436

“The present may stink, but at least now we can look forward to a better yesterday.”

Fry, Futurama

437

"Well, it’s no secret that the best thing about a secret is secretly telling someone your secret, thereby secretly adding another secret to their secret collection of secrets. Secretly."

Spongebob Squarepants

438

"It’s the moment of decision….do we want other moochers movin’ in and moochin’ in our moochery? No, we must make a stand."

Top Cat

[GaMatecal]

Cain is right though. The poem is very open to interpretation, but the point of the poem is finding answers and solutions as a community. Cain should've been more elaborate on what the poem means to him, and why. Just throwing a poem quote out there doesn't do anything, but confuse those that can't understand cryptic wordings.

[CheapRainChill9]

This man had a higher chance of having the authority of the executive office of the United States of America than you or I will ever have. Food for thought.

[GarlandFraser]

what a cubone-head...

[freein2339]

Herman Cain is a dickhead....correction a "step-n-fetch-it" dickhead...

[piscian18]

I woulda voted for him just for this speech

[ihateuutube]

His speech was making me Drowzee.

[oneirishpoet]

WTF kinda moron wears sunglasses when he gives a *major* address to his peeps? and why do ya think his wife G-L-O-R-I-A is standin' 30 yards behind the scumbag as he QUITS? hell that classic grifter $carah Plain couldn't done it betta...also, too

[eukey1337]

He should have said "I was going to run for president but then I took an arrow to the knee"

[Kaili246]

That quote was Onixpected.

[chibblywubbly]

@Kaili246 You didn't put on your sunglasses before you said it.

[Kaili246]

Cain's words seem a bit......Farfetch'd

[Kaili246]

Move over Gary! Herman Cain is the new champion.

[Kaili246]

Nothing says "United States" more than a quote from a japanese movie...

[SuperXboxmaster1]

i would totally vote for a president who has watched pokemon

[TheDraque]

No way Cain could do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. It is an 18 parsec Route!!!!

[T3hDeadly]

We miss you, Herman Cain. You may not get the presidency... But you'll always be a Pokemon master in our hearts.

[SheWhoLovesPineapple]

Is this real life?

[reivenlocke]

Ninenineninenine

Ninenineninenine

Hey, hey, hey

GOODBYE!

[jfeinable1991]

I want to be the best, there ever was, to catch them all, yeah that's my cause!

[MarioValenzuelaII]

He's gotta catch them all.... by them I mean the "skirts."

[mikeposelski]

speechless

[zackspires]

:D

[esmiller73]

Herman Cain wants to become pokemon master!

[superbambino24]

he knew that quote was from pokemon the whole time, he just didnt want to admit it

[Daniel91LC]

1:46

"And move the shining city on a hill back to the top of the hilltop."

Am I stoned? Is this real life?

[nateo200]

@Daniel91LC lmfao I was thinking the same thing.

[guyfaulkes]

@Daniel91LC "the shining city on a hill" is a common way to refer to how America should look to the rest of the world. It's a quote from an early puritanical figure. He's saying that we aren't on top of the hill.

[guyfaulkes]

@Daniel91LC Which was apparently was quoted from the bible

[PokieDalekCollector]

@guyfaulkes is that were it came from lol

[victini3000]

House , this dude , and who will be the next

[eddiehaskell89]

Herman used cunning linguism! It wasn't very effective.

[NerdWhoVlogs]

Lol

[DarkSunGod]

The reason he said that, was because throughout the campaign he had said he was quoting a famous poet. People pointed out the "poet" was Rebecca Summer in Pokemon 2000's theme song. But I guess he just loves that quote, and had to keep using it.

[Hadam10Rose]

"God bless you, I love you, and Gotta Catch Them All"

[RandoCDN87]

Gotta catch'em all Herman Cain, dropped out of the race with an epic pokemon quote reference LOL

[Lius525]

Are you serious!!?! Pokemon!! ROFL, not even onion could mae this up

[Hybridyuki]

What makes this even funnier is the fact that he actually didn't know what he was quoting at first clearly b/c he states "that the media pointed it out'. Jon stewart's treatment of this was hilarious.

[TheNoirNoise]

He should become president of the Kanto or Unova.

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

It's a shame... he touched a lot of people

[bootg1]

Pokemon!!!... Lol!!.... Now that he's banished who can I laugh at???

[swgnerd]

well that certainly wasn't "verbatim"

[Helthril2891]

"i wanna be the very best, that no one ever was"

[smokeyjoe489]

herman cain supports bailout 4 failing poke marts, he is BAD Choice for president!!

Rom paul 2008

[CamiloSanchez1979]

When his wife asks him where he's been, just use the action button and Alabama Man will bust her lip open.

[AgentUsajr]

Everyone in their shouldn't be laughing of him saying "POKEMON MOVIE" Everyone should've been cheering and clapping as this men he brought Nostalgic

[jellorocks66]

"The media pointed out the quote I'm about to say is from a song, but I'll say it anyway... Even though I'm leaving the race, I'm, never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you..." -Herman Cain

[Ultimate23Dragon]

I about died laughing when I heard he quoted Pokemon The Movie 2000 for this!...

[pimpnmikedavis]

Is it just me or is ron paul the only guy for the job!

[fulchibaby]

Not much of a reader, is he.

[shinyray01]

news: Herman, what do you think of the terrorist situation in Afghanistan?

Herman: Gotta catch'em all 

[shuttershocker]

I don't even know what's going on here. WHY. WHY.

[evilphil]

"The media has pointed out that these words came from SLAY-ARS NEX (incredulous gesture) but I will leave you with this: I am the mother of all darkness... I am the one who has dreamed for years uncounted of regaining my form. I am a darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night. I am the Sea of Chaos, the source of all chaos. That is how you describe me. I am the Lord of Nightmares... now I don't know WHO the author of that is.."

[Hitomarokun]

Herman Cain is dropping out of the race so that he can continue his quest to become a Pokemon Master.

[codecaine]

@Hitomarokun lol

[MirageScience]

UM? wtf 

[pyrrho314]

great, just one pokemon runs and he gets driven out for kinky japanese attitudes toward tentacle sex. Bigotry!

[TheMercilessEye]

@pyrrho314 $5 says he has a complete edition of "Cambrian" in his VHS tapes...

[InvincibleNumanist]

J.F.K:"Protect my balls.

Lets fighting love...

Lets FIGHTING LOVE!!"

[sentstuff05]

What the hell? What the hell?

To quote the Onion, "Rumors Of Extramarital Affair End Campaign Of Presidential Candidate Who Didn't Know China Has Nuclear Weapons"

America, you baffle me.

[elschan]

@sentstuff05 We baffle ourselves an awful lot of the time.

[trakrekkid]

this video is an excellent example of why it is a good thing cain isn't going to be running for prez. the gop should just give the nom to romney, it's an inevitability at this point

[Ruffneckization]

@trakrekkid haha not with romney TRAILING gingrich 15 points nationally, with this nutjob out of the race, all the tea party conservatives are flocking to gingrich, only unlike caina nd perry he's actually intelligent...and wont screw up...hahah poor romney...glad hes not running though, hes tied with obama, gingrich is down 12 points nationally...god i love the tea party! LOL

[huckx019]

Should've put his faith into the heart of the cards...

[NiangoChan]

the pokemon movie creators much be loling forever

[fuzegt]

Why's he reciting this like Captain Kirk

[homeofmew]

It's From Pokemon The Movie 2000- The Power of One,

And The Song "The Power of One" by Donna Summers.

[heilbeezlebub]

Oh my god, this is just too painful to watch.

Is the GOP trying to lose? Whose going to stop Obongo and his crew?

Never mind, 4 more years of Obama. Live with it.

[Thetruebrain]

Im rooting for Ron Paul, but the nerd in me says nobody could ever drop out this epic-ally ever again :D

[Evabriged]

Next thing you know obama is going to want energy for a spirit bomb!

[MalcolmRandall]

Bloody Hell,

Forget about Obamacare. ANYONE who associates himself with video games and anime, Automatically gets MY vote.

That's a damn shame. Imagine. A gamer otaku in the White House. *smh* One can dream.

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

He should have gotten his game on and been Absolutely Flawless.

[GundamFanGirl]

@ABriefHistoryofTime2 Where the Eff are his Cheetos?!

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

@GundamFanGirl Probably stolen by that demon who lives inside his head. ... wonderful.

[GundamFanGirl]

@ABriefHistoryofTime2 In the toolshed..?

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

@GundamFanGirl Cracker whaaaaaaaaat?

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

@GundamFanGirl My bad my bad. We were quoting two different abridged :o I get it now. And you may have your watermelon.

[GundamFanGirl]

@ABriefHistoryofTime2 I didn't think we were D:. *fails* which one were you quoting?

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

@GundamFanGirl I was quoting LittleKuriboh's Bonds Beyond Time Abridged xD which I love and quoted in a philosophy paper. If you haven't watched it, you really should.

[GundamFanGirl]

@ABriefHistoryofTime2 I saw that too, but I thought we were just doing Jaden quotes in general. A lot of those jokes were taken from the other abridged series so I thought we were doing both.

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

@GundamFanGirl Best Jaden quote: "Winged Kuriboh! What's that? You know where Syrus is? Alright Kuriboh, you lead the way! HE'S DOWN HERE CHUMLY! THE INVISIBLE FLOATING HAIRBALL THAT CAME FROM MY A** JUST TOLD ME SO!"

[GundamFanGirl]

@ABriefHistoryofTime2 Omg, that's from my favourite episode XD...that's a big reason why it's my favourite episode.

[ABriefHistoryofTime2]

@GundamFanGirl Mine too! It has that and the -spit take- JADEN LOST!!!!!! Epic. I still laugh at that. Like a maniac. I guess I'm not much of a hero. At least I don't ride a motorcycle or wear an evil mask.

[GundamFanGirl]

@ABriefHistoryofTime2 Also, thank you :D

[smokeyjoe489]

Please don't quit Herman!! If I may quote Walt Whitman:

"Live your life like a Kamehameha

Give your all, don't ever give up

When we're together, I know we can win

I have you to believe in!"

[NevilleDevil1]

Damn, he wanted to be America's second black Nazi President.

[CarolynKarger]

Don't rely on the mainstream media - read the book 'The Revolution: A Manifesto" by Ron Paul and you will understand why so many are so passionate about Ron Paul for President.

[Yipachu]

Can we get a link to the actual pokemon song?

[Keiferm1]

@Yipachu "The power of one" By Donna Summers.
