Mean Automakers Dash Hope For Flying Cars

[elainebmack]

Poor Brandon just refuses to believe them.

[beloon1970]

Moller 400 is like a flying car

[beloon1970]

Paul Miller has something of a flying car

[Mehtaphorical]

Flying cars already exist. They're called helicopters.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Mehtaphorical I'm assuming your one of those people that think the Onion is real.

[Mehtaphorical]

@SeCONdagenda1 You assume incorrectly, I just thought it was a relevant comment for all the people talking about flying cars. I know the Onion is satire.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Mehtaphorical A helicopter is not a feasible private transport, thus eliminating the title of "flying car". Nuff said please.

[SwingDancer61]

I guess I'm going to have to save up to get a helicopter and private pilot to fly the thing.

[kempsdaman]

'Skepta - hold on' must have single for 2012? think i'll live without

[9Godslayer]

I really wonder if those people are from the real companies. If so, good job, Onion!

[Asiis]

... that's a movie. You know that, right?

[ZenSeizure]

Middle fingers to all those who make cars that dont fly

[Apiaanilol]

Kim Jong il propably knew how to make cars fly. He created invisible phones and stuff

[qwsecrfvevrfvfr111]

wev actualy had flying cars since the 1950 people just didn,t but them

[Babyhowdy233]

DAMMIT! I'm never gonna get my flying car! :(

[Naddig74]

I know this video is hella old, but it just occured to me that we do have flying cars...they're called Cessnas...

[TheChickenRiceBowl]

Lol I love the little asian guy.

[awdrifter3]

RIP.

[KneelB4Bacon]

Collective sigh @1:36 LOL.

[AasGreen]

RIP Brandon Armstrong

[Mikeanglo]

1:22

PRICELESS FACE IS PRICELESS

:-|

[Twisted426]

That reporter must have been on drugs. Did he get fired ?

[kiel108]

@Twisted426 Flying cars are very important to the world's economy. He was perfectly within his bounds on those questions and it is despicable that Toyota would not tell us more. America knows about Toyota's secret labs where they have perfected flying cars, but are waiting for the right time to unleash them. To see how controlled that market is flying cars would shake things up and provide a new industry for inter continental travel.

[MrGamui]

montreal <3

[CopyRezo36]

I don't think there is any reason to doubt flying cars will be developed within the next few years. The spokesman for Toyota denied the existence of his secret lab because that would defeat the purpose of it being a 'secret' lab. Anyone who says they don't have a secret lab almost certainly does.

[b4567890]

@CopyRezo36 I have a secret lab...

[space1patrick]

ford focus lol

[space1patrick]

1:00 lol

[nightkraawler]

they just love to change the subject ..dont they? these automakers are as bad as the bankers...unbelievable..

I should be flying a ford ''Rocket'' by now ..but these bastards are holding back the technology until they milk us for these ground crawling clunkers they call ''vehicles''

[nightkraawler]

I just watched a dodge journey commercial....hahhaahahaha

[destinyfate1]

TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A SECRET LAB? YOU LACK DISCIPLINE!

[Wasabifold]

GM Guy: "Flying Cars just aren't real"

Onion Reporter: "Well that's one theory....."

My favorite part of the whole video, because it was just so subtle and because of that, so overwhelmingly hilarious.

[Raveninety9]

In your secret lab loooooooool

[zaednovideo]

Big companies said the same thing like the three gentlemen in this humorous piece when the first computers were to be adapted for the ordinary people - that it's not feasible, it's not achievable, not this and not that but thanks to a few entrepreneurial spirits...look at us now.

[CarlTrooper]

If I see another Fucking GARNIER FRUTIS COMMERICAL HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[1979Spica]

You couldn't handle a flying car. You would become far too stoked.

[snowblind1985]

@1979Spica LOL

[Nickdiaublow]

Brandon Armstrong. -BAMF

[Sumoto999]

with the way i see ppl driving in regular cars on the freeway on a day to day basis. There is no way i would want there to be flying cars....

[DJMC5ive]

omfg i laughed so hard when flubber and back to the future came on

[baredown100]

i wish i could think up a comment good enough to piss a bunch of people off bad enough to start a huge debate here...alas i cannot

[nsanthan]

@baredown100

i love how the reporter says "the jury is still out on flying cars". i think he will make an awesome fox news anchor :).

now watch.

[Justinsean88]

for real this guy is better than bill o riely

[marcusaureliooze]

Possibly the most well-acted Onion piece.

[Tw1St3DSt33L]

@marcusaureliooze indeed, that common sigh was priceless

[cronon94]

the onion, bringing car companies together to try to convince reporters there is no hope of flying cars

[puffmax]

Do we really want to give bad drivers the ability to freely move in three dimensions?

[Agatahnai]

1:37 All three automaker representatives just sigh.

[EatmyDust1311]

terrafugia flying car is DOT and FAA approved... they are coming

[PivotXL1]

@EatmyDust1311 That is a drive-able airplane, not a flying car.

[EatmyDust1311]

@PivotXL1 tomayto, tomahto... same thing. and since it will be registered as a car to drive on the road, it will still be considered a car.

[PivotXL1]

@EatmyDust1311 Not exactly, I want powerful but compact thrusters on certain point of an aircraft to combat it's mass to fly apposed to growing wings.

[anongos]

Flying cars do exist, or at least they did, before we found out how horribly inefficient they were.

So yeah, people need to stop looking for ways to improve the modern car and start thinking when we could have flying cars... that can also be set on autopilot while the driver/pilot plays DDR on the retractable catwalk on the wings.

[TutKatan]

@GryphesTK Yeah man it's real The onion has some "unorthodox" reporters but it's all real.

[Revolution2pointO]

best onion ever!

[randomstuff6751]

i love this guy

[Mrpfiesty1488]

Does anyone read the ticker tape. It's just as hilarious

[Thepillerofautom10]

1:51 He totally has a secret lab.

[sp0nge1337]

I love that the Ford guy tries his best to bring the story away from the important issues, like how the cars will fly.

[Kaijed]

only 168k views? this is probably the best ONN vid out on youtube!!

[DeloreandudeTommy]

It's especially funny when you realize the car they show at 1:33 wasn't even a flying car in the movie it's from (iRobot). Also, I WANT FLYING CARS GOSH DARN IT!

[Kyoxu]

air planes?

[realpointz]

OMG where seeing some footage here LOL

is it an issue of funding?

no, it's an issue of reality, flying cars are just not real

well thats... that's one theory

[screamofabutterfly3]

so what are the chances of me getting one of those flying cars for my birthday next year? I HOPE THEY'RE OUT BY THEN!!

[vigo894]

I'm glad we don't have the flying car yet. We're just not ready for it. There would be 9-11 like attacks on buildings on a daily basis. We have to grow up first. Of course, I'll be dead before that happens.

[unprofessionalvids]

it's almost 2015!!! these automakers are just incompetent!

[DemoraX]

was anyone else thinking "this is just like O'Reiley" the whole time? :D

[AcousticUplift]

The acting in this one is excellent. I could almost believe those car manufacturing reps were genuinely being had..

[themass109]

actually you can can buy a fling car that runs like crap and cost a few million dollars

[mickys333]

Hahahah he is SO persistant! xD

[F3FisGoodforYou]

So they still haven't answer the questions about Flying cars dam'it !

[Garrnett1]

not during takeoff and landing I assume. hahaha

[marine5546]

maybe if some car companies had been in the process of making a flying car, they wouldn't need to be bailed out

[blarghery]

mean old car companies

[MrNoeboy]

how can i contact these auto industry bigshots? i already have plans for a flying car. i got the technology from aliens that visited our country.

[TheBobasbro]

@MrNoeboy

Did he do your yard work first?

[MrNoeboy]

@MrNoeboy no..on the contrary i was the one who did his yardwork..i 'm from southeast asia..my comment is just pleasantries...i know you wouldnt buy what i wrote.

[Txsray]

great, I think the guys interviewed never realized it was a joke.

[animenice]

@Txsray All of them are actors.

[SAYURU9]

WHAT? NO FLYING CARS!? ARE THEY SERIOUS!!?? :(

[shoplifting1is1fun]

If reporters like this existed, I would watch the news.

[hectiky]

Forget flying cars. How about affordable cars that don't blow ass through a crazy straw?

[TheBobasbro]

@hectiky

well maybe if crazy straws weren't so crazy

[Tinman45694501]

lol

[redwallcools]

the scary part: I can actually see this type of flying car based interview being on NBC, CBS, BBC, or any other reputable news source. I wouldn't be surprised it it had already been on fox.

[cyblur]

ROFL!!!!!!!!! Dude says.. These are movies... you know that, right?

[Danux01]

They all seemed pretty hush-hush about their secret projects. I wish Brandon had them for a little more time, he probably could've gotten one of them to break.

[67tr876]

666 comments ? LOL

[driverx241]

@Ayedyn le t's n ot go t o th e sh itt y we b site

[Ayedyn]

go

[xxonebludxx]

Well it seems the jury is still out on flying cars. LOL

[ActiveStorage]

-is it an issue of funding?

-no, it's an issue of reality, flying cars are just not real

-uuwell thats... that's one theory

[alyssacroacia]

LMAO he wants flying cars so bad

and 1:39 HAHAHAHAHA

[invisible3steeves]

Wat? WE NEEEED FLYING CARS!

[fingerme100]

I saw a Transformer on the road today, but it didn't transform:(

[TheLeviathanZero]

@fingerme100 A Deceptacon or an Autobot?

[kreugerpranka]

but flying cars is the cure for traffic jams!

[Battezu]

@kreugerpranka Then the traffic would just be in the air.

[ZX2ManDave]

Will my flying car have cruise control?

[matttylergoldbloom]

yeah montreal :D

[Davisrullzs]

lol'd so hard when they showed jetsons

[jadeyes914]

how the hell these guys keep a straight face is beyond me

[jadeyes914]

but... the jetsons taught me that it's supposed to happen eventually. was i lied to?

[Reluctanttreehugger]

They seem so disappointed lol.

[ourben]

"It's an issue of reality" I lolled Rockstar out my nostrils.

[kobrajesusreturns]

we need more reporters who get down to the important questions like this guy

[JETZcorp]

You'll note, they didn't see Chrysler denying the development of a flying car. They'll call it, "Hemi in the Sky with Diamonds."

[mjswans]

Guess flying cars will not be on the market until 2012.

[MrSafetymeeting]

The government has the flying cars. Hyundai had the contract to build them but they won't pass California smog standards..........yet, hybrids are in the planning stages!

[MusicMan53100]

If cars can fly, dont buy Toyota, youll crash every time!

[DogSoldierFury]

OMG...I can't breathe! HAHAHAHAHA!!

[Jurassic0Al]

Songs like that "Ho, ho, ho, it's magic" one will be the death of Western civilization.

[ignatzRat]

I still can't believe that people think the onion is an actual news source.. kinda scares me

[superhamzah85]

@ignatzRat

Why not? There's people out there even crazier, that think Fox news is an actual news source.

[ignatzRat]

@superhamzah85 LOL!!!!!!!ROFL!!!!!!! Good One !

[Bertoffski]

Isn't there a real flying car in a museum of flight somewhere or something? I thought someone made it, but there was no point in mass-producing them because traffic would be nearly impossible to control.

[EightBitH3r0]

@Bertoffski The problem with flying cars is most people can't manage a car properly in 2 dimensions, let alone 3.

[1simo93521]

The greedy auto makers I want my solar/wind powered carbon neutral flying car NOW. Get me one invented now and for no more than a thousand bucks.

Thats all I ask.

[heartlessvietboy]

The flying car is very possible, and it is not too far from the future.

[ccricers]

Flying cars are present in Harry Potter too. It's just an issue with wizards not sharing them with us muggles.

[neonaction]

this is a parody of bill o'reilly's "interviews"---interrupting the guest, stuffing his own view point into other people's mouths...

[kasuskasus]

Search for "Martin Jetpack VIP" on Youtube. Personal flight may not be too many years away!

[unincorporated1]

I can't tell you how many times I've been sitting in traffic and wished my car could fly.

[Hyrulianguy]

Can't I at least have one that hovers?

[TheOmnicience]

Mr.Yama-shita

[Del249]

what? there already are flying cars, they are called plains and helicopters

[Kokomokox]

@Del249 a plain is a stretch of flat matter.

[Del249]

@Kokomokox I obviously meant an air plane (I am not a native speaker)

[Cooeeoh7]

I love Jeff Carlyle's deadpan delivery -- "These are movies. You know that, right?"

[comeonfolks]

Daniel Grossman is apparently a ford vp for real...wonder if they were brunoed or tricked into coming on the onion

[TheFunnyBanana]

"no its an issue of reality... flying cars just aren't real" "well thats just one theory" lol

[xxflinkxx]

Flying cars are possible, very practical too, but when the status quo is enough, why rock the boat?

[lolzomgz1337]

@xxflinkxx Yes, I once said the same about flying pigs, then i woke up.

[xxflinkxx]

@lolzomgz1337 except the difference between me and you is, is that I have an engineering background unlike your farming background I guess since you think pigs can fly?

[Chibikyon13]

Is it an issue of funding?

No, it's an issue of reality, flying cars just aren't real

Well, that's one theory

XD LMAO

[zillatamer]

20 poeple are mean automakers.

[ravi2202]

@zillatamer im pretty sure mean automakers would like this because they aren't the target of the video

[7255202]

F-Zero!

[qface64]

flying cars never hovering cars maybe one day

[dave19782003]

I laughed so hard watching this my ribs started hurting, "it's not a question of money, it's a question of reality"

[usernameisapain]

he so has a secret lab x'D

[TCt83067695]

@usernameisapain he denied the lab. but not the fact that he's been flying cars.

[GoodOldDeathMetal]

Well, it seems the jury is still out on flying cars.. LOL

[masteryoda394]

SO FUCKING HILARIOUS.

[kilograms2500]

i want a flying CAR!!!!!

[huswsimonbla]

damn in the 80´s they thought we would fly by 2015.. where are those flying cars eh?

[revolt1492]

I think the Japanese are hiding something in their secret lab ... a flying car perhaps?

[STARD00R]

@revolt1492 or an army of giant robots with tentacles... hmm

[revolt1492]

@STARD00R or an army of giant robots with tentacles which transform into flying cars...one can never be too sure with the Japanese.

[maniacmobster]

More towers can be hit by "flying cars" then

[argozempo]

Forget about jet cars. It's 2010. Where the hell are my foil pants?

[leparditas]

im going to build flying car and take all the money

[Arcadia1810]

Secret Lab LOL

[armorArtichoke]

Just the title of this is the most hilarious thing ever X)

[LemmeLieHere]

Does anyone here truly want to fly in a car built by Detroit automakers? Not me.

Flying car by GM, onboard computer by Microsoft, funeral service by Joseph Brothers Mortuary.

[PtiPatrice]

AHAHHA OH GOD!!!

[Naddig74]

We already have flying cars. They are called aeroplanes. And Helicopters.

[haruluver4life]

@Naddig74 Damn, I was gonna post that haha...

[Manofaction0]

"I do not have a secret lab." <-----win.

[Abwakadabwawawawa]

Don't worry!

They'll have one soon and then people will find out that it was a conspiracy. Oh S***!

[keyemaster]

Yamashita has a hollowed out volcano that was heavily damaged by his flying car. He is just too embarassed to admit to it. My cousin's head was crushed by the falling debris but all I got was a T-shirt.

[evil13rt]

The big automakers just don't believe in true innovation.

Maybe we can pay the military industrial complex to build our flying cars!

[CobrasVenom]

LOL 1:37 a syncronised sigh

[lagus970]

OMG ADS ARE SO BAD THEY MAKE ME rage

[Abwakadabwawawawa]

@lagus970 Hurry! They've overtaken your 'thumbs up' count. You'll need to take out some time for this one.

[DjVIPER200]

@lagus970 refresh : )

[mrkeipy]

@lagus970 google chrome has an extension that blocks all ads, you should get it

[Williamisaperson]

@mrkeipy So does Firefox.

[ubuntututorials]

@lagus970 just use Adblock Plus, don't see a single ad on Youtube, even the intro ones :)

[GregoryHalo3]

man its stupid how people aren't starting to make flying cars yey. i want there to be flying cars be4 i graduate high school in 2014

[Ivyandstone]

"These are movies. You know that, right?" Love his deadpan delivery.
