Keith Olbermann March 14, 1989

[gopconservative78]

he is still a dick

[xLoliXKittyx]

he's so much hotter now lol.

[TheBrewchief]

Nice Chester stache.

[WizardOfHumor1989]

6 days before i was born. 

[SportsBoxBreakers]

Who wants a mustache ride? 

[gtijerino]

He was an idiot even then.

[ChandlerPol]

@ih8faggots1000 ... so are you.

[mythmanjay]

This is something politicos can look at to dismiss Olbermann's tear-downs as 'just sports-heckler talk.' They can see that HIS strategies are more centered on 'scoring,' while THEIRS are more about 'keeping the game going.' ... Or not. But they would look at this to come to that conclusion.

[CherryCokeNixon]

Wow he was sarcastic dick even in the 80s

[dsspike51]

holy shit! espn should have fired that mustache! thank god msnbc and current said we'll take you but not the lip rat.

[albear972]

Man, I still remember ths stache' Keith had in the late 80's on LA TV. Noiseeee!

[RAC22963]

nice 'stache.

[freddykurger]

and who else was in that news cast??

[darrinbaker00]

@freddykurger Jim Lampley and his wife at the time, Bree Walker.

[cheeriosinabowl]

Strange looking eyebrows. Groucho Marx would be proud.

[zzzzJAGJEETzzzz]

Oh.My.God.

[bonnette1215]

Hey, it's Tom Tucker

[rar9518]

Good to have Keith back on a show where he gets total creative control. Current TV may become a force with Olbermann at the helm.

[ilackedtheheart]

Oh cool, it's the Kings and Avs :D

And nice stach Olbermann.

[elvis316]

He was hedging between sportscasting and gay porn at the time. He enjoyed the porn more, but ESPN paid more.

[dsspike51]

when countdown officially begins on current, v.p. Gore should make sure kieth is prohibitted from growing another moustache!

[msm318]

He was disgusting then and he is disgusting now.

[Choncy21]

Whats with the ' stache olbie?

[CookinBasic1]

he looks like tom tucker on family guy

[crowtservo]

Whooo! Quebec Nordiques! Back when hockey was more real with teams in Hartford and Quebec and Winnipeg. Ya know, instead of Arizona and North Carolina.

[krazyNJ]

that's when Olbermann probably did double duty in San Bernardino with that porn stache.... Olbermann: the best

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Olbermann looks like an out-of-work porn star with that moustache.

[acleex]

That mustache makes him look creepy

[wellesradio]

@jjdbeer

the correct to pronounce it of course. How do you say it - kwubek?

[djlim0n]

Screen shows "Boston 8, Pittsburgh 2" and he says "Mario Lemieux scored both of Pittsburgh goals in their victory.

[ccrosbie33]

Jim Lampley!!!!

[ccrosbie33]

Wow, that takes me back....

...triple digit scores for both teams with no O.T. -- that was a different age in the NBA.

[FloyDZeD]

"Is that a Kings banner down your shirt or are you just glad to see me?"

Really Keith?

[swami1]

Is that Bree Walker?

[griffinshaffer83]

HOLY SHIT! That is crazy.

[GrassValleyGreg]

lol Fernando Valenzuela. That's a ways back.

[Srhandel]

Is he wearing a TOUPEE? Also he looks like Groucho Marx with that mustache..

[tarjay35]

.....The mustache...

[SuperBlackChic]

I hear his voice, but that doesn't look like him!

[InfidelAvenger]

This was back when basketball teams regularly scored 100 points or more during games. How I miss the NBA before the damn pick and roll set in.

[vitin6039]

Keith I love you bro, but I don't know if you notice it but there is a fucking beaver in your upper lip.

[CornFedArmen]

is this mario or luigi?

[ZeroHammer]

@CornFedArmen maybe their dad

[hastyberford]

Eugene Levy!

[opaquiosq]

He was clearly much too clever to be doing local sports news. This is great.

[CamiloSanchez1979]

NY Islanders lost? fuck, I cant believe they got pwnd

[bleunt]

This is amazing. People cared about hockey back then!

[vdven]

@bleunt This is when hockey was interesting. Now they have to resort to gimmicks like playing games outside in order to get some attention.

[DeathToLiberalism]

Little did anyone know what an epic Liberal Fascist douche bag this kook would become.

[cam94509]

@DeathToLiberalism Anyone who uses the phrase 'liberal fascist' should not be taken seriously. The political philosophies are strongly opposed to one another. But you wouldn't even be arsed to learn how to use the word 'authoritarian', and make you sound simply stupid, instead of sounding both stupid and ignorant.

[DeathToLiberalism]

@cam94509 Anyone who doesn't see the parallels between far left Liberalism and Fascism should not be taken seriously. Go read Jonah Goldberg's book, Liberal Fascism.

[borjon23]

@DeathToLiberalism

Or you could read a scholarly book by an academic expert on fascism. The experts whom Goldberg relied on for his thesis, such as A. James Gregor, who repudiated Goldberg's book as nonesense. Important to distinguish between scholarly work and pulp garbage.

[Backlap]

Such a dry wit! And he's still got it after all these years.

[REXROTH61]

lol, what a stupid lookin' jackass!!!

[chris19046]

Wow he was a loser all the way back then too. How many jobs did he get fired from 8?

[SouthwesternEagle]

@chris19046 Too bad he makes $8,000,000.00 per year, more than you will ever make in your life. :3

[336kgf]

This is back when he was the greatest Groucho Marx impersonator in TV history.

[RocStarr913]

It's hard to believe Keith Olbermann is only 30 years old in this. That Ron Burgundy mustache makes him look so old in this.

[sss2ccc]

wow, he looked so friendly and happy back then

[1pt21jigawatt]

Groucho Olbermann should have stuck to what he did best and that was sports. He sucks in the political arena.

[reno93535]

@1pt21jigawatt He sucked at sports.

[johnnydarkly]

I LOVE YA KEITH!

[gan0nsl4y3r]

groucho

[skyler0248]

wow i love this historic shit, thanks

[OutsidrArtst]

wow!!! Keith looks like Charlie Chaplin.

[sharkisland89]

Is that Weird Al?

[mueygringo]

WAS there ever a time this guy wasn't a sissy. He probably never got to buy his lunch at school. Th egirls used to beat him up ofr his lunch money. WHAt A WOOS!!!!!

[KamikaziXavier]

shi looks fake

[romanticwarrior97]

That "stash" is cheese personified.

I think that's Lampleys wife.

[MisterMasterShafter]

That isn't a mustache, it's a Dirty Sanchez

[MisterMasterShafter]

Just as much a complete dork as he is now.

[JediDude38]

Can anyone say ... Dick Trickel ... lol ... Keith is truly unique.

[simonwedege]

Well, you can easily say he's looking better the older he gets :-D

[nuktubian]

Before he was an insufferable bastard.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Jim Lampley looked YOUNG here... Olbermann looks different.

[MSavage59]

Keith Olbermann is a douche in Politics

[RichieEastside]

LOL

[bobthefreak09]

It looks like he cut his pubes and glued them to his face!!! hahahahaha!!!!!!!!

[steelfury455]

wow, he's been a dickhead for a LONG time...

[tommyers]

Keith talks too fast ... I have never been able to get into sports broadcasts for that very reason.

[RavenMichaels]

Hes one of those people who actually looked better as they got older...

[GstateBALLER925]

"Gotta tighten that Tugnutt."

You knew at that point that he's definitely ready for SportsCenter.

[PoliticsAddict]

woww...he was even uglier then..

[FritzOmnibus]

Excellent sportscaster. Insufferable cowardly blowhard political windbag.

[twirlgirl97]

kirk gibson knee problem... wow flashback

[shawno66]

Nice stache Keith. Nice stache.

[woodycoat]

Wow he didn't seem like such a douchebag even sporting the stache back then!

[dac8555]

a fashion masterpiece!

[lamborger]

LOL at Keith's mustache!!!!

[sdcazares1980]

The Mustache! LMAO!

[JamesD423]

So, a video that is mostly about men's fashion, men having "something" in their pants," and grown men holding each other? Is anymore proof needed that Olbermann is clearly a fagelah?

[mason000]

The mustache...the MUSTACHE...I'm a Keith fan, but I find it absolutely hilarious.

[Pelon714]

Man does this bring back memories of news in the Southland in the late 80's. Jim Lampley anchoring there with his ex-wife Bree Walker and Keith doing sports. Now it's Jim the voice of HBO Boxing and Keith giving conservatives hell on MSNBC and doing some sports on NBC.

[vfreeck]

All men looked like Olbermann (in this video) back in the 1980s.

That entire decade was a fashion statement.

[TBlake34]

Oh God, someone linked this to me as evidence of Keith Olbermann's "racism."

Kemosabe? Really? That's what you're rolling with as racism...in 1989? Wow.

That's what's called "grasping at straws."

And where can I get one of those sweaters?

[OxyConservative]

Why is it that you missed it when Olbermann singled out a dark skinned man from the audience of a hockey game, then said something about him running a 7-11?

People like Olbermann, who go on national television every night calling everyone he disagrees with a bunch of racists, really shouldn't be lecturing anyone on racism when he's on tape making stupid ethnic jokes.

[TBlake34]

Whether or not he made a stupid ethnic joke, that has no bearing on the racism of others. If Hitler called David Duke a racist, David Duke's racism would be true or false independent of Hitler's personal, er, issues.

I am fascinated by your insistence that the guy around 40sec was "dark-skinned." He's about 75% lighter than John Boehner.

Of course, Boehner has Umpa-Loompa in his family tree, thus, he is orange, so that might be a bad comparison.

[OxyConervative]

Nice Boehner joke, but it's really just a deflection, isn't it?

Again, it doesn't matter if you want to be deliberately obtuse or not, it was an ethnic joke by someone who is so self righteous that he thinks he can play the race card on a nightly basis.

BTW, where has Olbermann been lately?

Looks like he's been put in the time-out chair again because he was about to blow. Notice how every time he's about to implode, he disappears for a week or so?

[TBlake34]

I do enjoy when the ignorant dickishness of right wing asshats voices itself in such elegant fashion.

Olbermann is with his father who is on his death bed and swings in and out of consciousness.

Watch: /watch?v=mWtwvFc842A

Now, I don't blame you for mocking a man while he's tending to his dying father. I do blame you for concocting idiotic theories without taking the 12sec necessary to google the question and get the answer.

You're dumb, lazy, and stupid, thus you're conservative.

[OxyConservative]

Whenever a Lib loses an argument, they always have to resort to ad hominem attacks and then they go looking for something or someone sympathetic to brandish as a shield.

This might come as a shock to you, but no one disliked Bush or posted more negative comments about him then I have. I used to be a Lib, until recently, when they exposed what kind of disgusting, vile creatures they really are during the 2008 election season.

[TBlake34]

I don't even know what that means. You fantasized about Olbermann being suspended when he was with his dying father.

You could have learned the truth with 12sec and google, instead you ranted in your frothing ignorance.

You can try and dismiss that as ad hominem, but the ad hominem attack carries with a substantive explanation of your shortcomings.

Just like a Conservative to miss the argument and fixate on the few things he's capable of understanding.

You were never a "Lib."

[goskinsgo]

Wow..he sucked back then also.

[OxyConservative]

Nice going with the racist, stereotypical Indian joke Mr. Olbermann.

How about a "Special Comment" on your own racism?

[TBlake34]

That's a reach. If you can find some evidence of Native American groups demanding that the word not be used in 1989 you might have something to work with, but I did some googling and didn't find much of anything.

It's not the white guys that get to choose which words are offensive to minority groups.

I thought you guys hated "political correctness."

[OxyConservative]

That sailed right over your head didn't it? Watch again real slow this time so you don't miss it.

At around the 40 second mark, Olbermann picks out a dark skinned man from the audience of a hockey game and says he's running a 7-11.

Oh! that "Indian" you say! lol!

That's right. Just like Joe Biden's Duncan Donut / Indian "joke".

[TBlake34]

Huh? Dark skinned guy? He looked like a Canadian with a Coon-skin cap.

Maybe your ability to discern races from one another is more sensitive than mine--honed from years of racism--but having been to Quebec, that just looked like a Canadian dude.

[OxyConervative]

Ah...yeah...because all Canadians from Quebec own 7-11s! That's why the joke was so funny! Now I get it...

When you have to resort to being deliberately obtuse and intellectually dishonest, you've lost the argument.

Now go enjoy your MessNBC, they need your viewership since their ratings are crashing and with Amy Bishop behind bars and John Patrick Bedell dead, they are running out of viewers.

[TBlake34]

Again, what makes you think the guy was "dark-skinned?" The "Indians own 7-11's" meme was hardly strongly established in 1989. It was a joke about a crazy-looking dude with a weird hat.

The racial element has been wholly added by you.

Bedell was a truther. Find a single example of Olbermann promoting that bullshit.

But we can go back and forth with lone nuts. You get the guy who flew a plane into the IRS building and 300 years of racial terrorism in the South. You lose.

[OxyConservative]

Guess you never watched "The Simpsons", or ever heard of a "Kwik-E-Mart" where Apu and Sanjay work. So the ethnic stereotype joke WAS strongly established at the time Olbermann used it.

Bedell hated Bush's guts almost as much as Olbermann does, like all the Truthers do. He was a stoner and a registered Democrat which places him in the MessNBC / DailKos crowd.

Read up on the history of racism in this country. You'll find it was entrenched within the Democrat party  for those 300 years.

[TBlake34]

Yeah, Apu first appeared in an episode in 1990, so around that time. That's when the meme was building.

But does that man resemble Apu or any other South Asian you've ever seen?

And of course, if two people hate the same person, they must be political allies? What kind of horseshit argument is that?

PROVE with evidence (I know, strange concept for you) that Olbermann ever considered 9-11 conspiracy bullshit.

Sigh, all the racist D's became R's after the Civil Rights Act.

[jfk60]

He should have stuck with something within his competence.

[petehjr1]

Love the hockey stache Keith. Wow the Whalers thans a blast from the past.

[Glencie]

"running a 7-11" lol

[jbond5150]

who wants a mustache ride?!?!?

[peacelord]

the stache.  I remember the stache from Sports Center

[apocalypse1280]

Fagots.

[thelurker25]

i wish he would fuck off and die

[UGLYSTIKCOLIN]

Me too. Olbermann is scum of the universe.

[silverojo]

He's always been funny and quick-witted.  And he pronounced Quebec properly, which most people fail to do. Great, classic stuff!

[efrem1]

Keith, you never did get your statements right. The Pacers played at Market Square Arena not the Hoosier Dome.

[chevon1920]

Ha, hahahahahaha. He looks like Geraldo Rivera! I wish he would grow it back, its super cool. It'd be all gray now though.

[mahnameiswin]

Keith before his SPRAY TAN!

[Jowind]

Can't everyone just put away their political bullshit and enjoy laughing at Keith's 'stache?

[Paulwhoisvegan]

a black man!!! 1:47  !

[TheBobcatChannel]

Mustache!!!!! Thanx 4 finding this!

[SRTspeed5]

Keith is an insipid piece of sh!t. He is the Czar of the douche bags!

[apocalypse1280]

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Fucking liberal scumbag. He should grow his 'stache back and debate Geraldo Rivera.

[thelurker25]

@apocalypse1280 LOL

[pem1974]

Get a load o that Ron Burgundy mustache :-p

[Zeromus7]

ROFL nice 'stache

[vinny48623]

He even looked like a douche bag back then

[gbdill]

He should have stayed in sportscasting.

[Wheeljack35]

Ah yes Olbermann before we knew he was a facist hate monger

[vegitoth]

I was gonna be born ten days later that year.

[vegitoth]

month I meant

[SoyJames]

They used to be able to score off the top of the board?

[bush1tman]

Gotta love the Groucho Marx halloween mask. And the botox cleft removal.

[nightVzn]

Yikes! He has come a long way...

I think he must have been doing that "I'm young but I need to look a bit older to be taken seriously in this field" routine, hence the hairstyle and mustache. Kinda like young lawyers who wear fake glasses in court just to adjust their image.

I'm glad he got older :)

[bush1tman]

No the loon thought he looked like Rollie Fingers an actual real man.

[kkay2605]

That moustache! OMG i <3 keith.

[PoliticsCentralX]

Damn

He sounds exactly the same.

[HplusG]

Oh my jesus, he looks horrible... I guess it is trye Men get better w age.

[SabraMagdalena]

I'm so glad he lost the pornstache.

[walkermydawg]

pornstache is classic. At least he realized he need to lose it.

Was even very good son many years ago.

[LamboK28992]

Wow, he was even a faggot back then.

[walkermydawg]

and you are still stupid now.

[LamboK28992]

Nice one einstein.

Why don't you go worship dear leader Obama?

[walkermydawg]

Don't care to worship Obama, whatever connotation that may carry. Just regretting that oswald did not apparently have any lineal descendants from '01 to '08.

[yahtzee414]

Hahaha This is brilliant. Especially the moustache.

[WANAGETAWAY]

lol now hes a libral talk show host this is great

[kipptumor]

The "carnies" being the insurance companies who have an entire department dedicated to denying services so that the share holders can get a little hard-on at the end of the quarter, sans providing any real care. Anyone who hasn't figured this out yet is a dolt, and those who ARE aware of it, and think it is still the "best system in the world" are just plain soulless, greedy hogs.

[caterpillero]

he looked like an old skool porn actor with that mustache.

[clarkbell]

my thoughts exactly

[caterpillero]

he looked like such a redneck with that mustache!

[porsche911sbs]

even then, you could tell he was destined for SportsCenter

[kipptumor]

Believe it or not, after 40 or so, fucking kind of loses its "magic". It tends to show itself for what it really is: a few variations on the same plot with the exact same ending each time, and starts to end up being just another chore like mowing the lawn or taking out the garbage.

Sex is God's way of tricking human beings into replicating themselves.

[kipptumor]

Rush can't really believe the horseshit he spews - That's why i say he is a total performance artist and he has really pulled off the biggest joke in the world on the GOP - THEY take him seriously- causing them to sink deeper and deeper into political distaste, and Limbaugh laughs all the way to the bank for pulling the wool over their eyes. Think about it - besides-Limbaugh's a junkie. How many real conservatives are pill heads (druggies)?

[MrHoppybunny]

For real. I'm sure most of those right wing radio hosts are just in it for the moolah. He says absurd crap to get listeners, be they fans or critics.

[kipptumor]

Yes, we should all be asking ourselves "Am I happy with a carny between me and my doctor", because that's who's running our system now. A bunch of soulless carnies in suites.

[MrHoppybunny]

???

[kipptumor]

Colbert stole Limbaugh's act. Limbaugh is more polished - Like teh Andy Kauffman of political satire.

[MrHoppybunny]

Rush is satire? Are you mental..?

[Quiras2]

His...his hair has colour! WOW! lolz sorry sorry just that I'm too used to him in older self

[fallstoofar]

I am almost 100% positive he was still a virgin in this clip. What a pussy!

[badtown88]

Somehow, he's always banged really hot young chicks. I don't get it.

[fallstoofar]

Haha your joking right? You obviously have not seen his current girlfriend. She works with the weather channel and looks like a muppet.

[badtown88]

Yea, but he's fucking 50 years old. I'd fuck a muppet at 50.

[fallstoofar]

who cares about age. With his money....and he dates that ugly bitch. Give me his money at 50 and I would have a fine piece

[badtown88]

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were a right wing mouthpiece. I thought we were having a "fair and balanced" discussion. Take your FOX news and shove it up your ass you fucking cocksucker. Hannity and Olbermann play on the same team. Turn off the tv and read a book. Moron.

[fallstoofar]

no prob fuck bag. I did in fact know that you were a kool aid drinking libtard. You also can take "bath tub boy" and shove him IN your ass, I know you would enjoy that you fucking faggot. Read a book? I know more than you will ever forget. You are the fucking moron here.
