Ellis Lankster 7th round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills

[xBravoh]

Clearly no one commenting has ever been interviewed on National Television and the vast majority of us never will. Imagine how nervous you would be in his situation. Also Make fun of him all you want but the reality is you will probably not make as much money as he does no matter how much smarter you are. So like um you can like um make fun of him but he is just like um making his way to the bank and cashing checks that are bigger than any you will ever see. Have a nice day.

[AlfonsoTheGod]

Like umm,like umm.

[erockmoney]

No need for psychedelics.... Too many blows to the head, after a career of football will Nuke your brain equally as well :)

[revengeofbutthead]

spit out already!

[zackljackson]

This guy does have a stutter. The "like um" is a mechanism he uses to get around it.

[roggie2499]

@zackljackson Not really. He doesn't have a stutter. Dude was a 7th round pick who probably never dealt with the media.

[UncleRel]

Yo, I added this to my favorites two years ago...and everytime I need a laugh at work I play this video. I'm still in tears laughing!!!

[albertescamilla]

[CrazySicily]

[VicRoseMusic]

Sorry...it's funny

[randomdude1297]

is this .. edited ?

[SVRReelMaker]

@randomdude1297 oh definitely 

[morrisseyj319]

i feel so bad for him, he seems such a genuine guy, people are laughing at the fact his brain might not work fully functionally on a speaking level, ironic that people hate and make fun, but he is a professional athlete who makes more money than we can dream of.....

[metemi]

Some people just don't know how to talk in formal situations, it is an acquired skill.

Alot of Black people on the telephone are like scared shitless when they have to talk in a business like way, they're just like "um, yeees sir, yes sir um um um" because they only know how to talk in slang. Learn how to speak English for fuck sake.

[stu0812]

Anybody who makes fun of this is a Jackass. POINT BLANK PERIOD.

[youngyboykang]

@LittleLittleDude fuck you. you mother fucking gypsy!

[youngyboykang]

I COUNTED 37 "like um's"

[BiGpO6790]

HAHAHAHAHAHA



[SuperChristian2012]

Ummmm like what are ummmm u guys ummmm talkin ummm about

[Mr2manydecisions]

I feel sorry for him. I stutter and stammer and it becomes induced with nerves and anxiety. I have never been infront of media and had to come up with answers as fast as him, it's tough. The reason I will repeat short phrases like he does is so I don't get caught up on one word like I am glitching. And when you think ahead and want to say a word you become self conscience of messing it up, then you do mess it up... Teribble thing. Also I will move my mouth like him, it's easier to say things

[iklesammykins]

white power

[ElevateConcepts]

At least he's respectful, assholes. 

[KatAlexi]

@ElevateConcepts

when a person goes to court enough times, or gets the shit beat out of them enough times for being a cocky smartass, that person learns to be "respectful" to people in a position of power. your point is invalid. the fact remains: this guy's manner of answering simple questions= fail.

[QuiksilveRXx24]

you know like um

[njdevil3049]

making fun of a stutterer...classy

[bigjohnstud75]

this guys seems like a cool dude. he sure is a hell of a lot better role model than otyher NFL players

[Joemcjoe7]

i felt bad watching this...but it was kinda funny....okay yeah it was freaking hillarious.

[TheIceBoxLuv]

what was he like? must have been good

[G0G8T0RS]

If you turn down the volume and turn on the closed captioining you will find that he is actually a very elogant speaker.

[PspH3lp3R]

Dude I thought :19-:28 was edited.

[gwrmarines]

@PspH3lp3R Lol so did I. I had to watch the timer at the bottom.

[josephmanners]

@PspH3lp3R omg me too!! i thought it was going to turn autotune

[adwoa24]

[david5345]

@TheIm2BiZ11 Your comment doesn't make any sense.

[IzaakStolzman]

I thought I can speak English, but I couldn't understand a word.

[lilbruizer000]

Dogg Retarded 

[oakdaleG]

Ah dang I like this guy! He says yes sir and is super polite to the reporters... The NFL needs more players like this who just want to work hard for their team not just the paycheck and endorsement deals.. Plus nobody should make fun of him because he seems like the type of guy to stop and sign an autograph for you, your little brother or son instead of shrugging him off...

[EvilOTTO1]

@oakdaleG You are right, he is a nice guy. He tried to autograph a football for me but he ran out of room before he got to his name. I ended up with a footbal that had "Like Um" scribbled all over it. And he spelled it wrong besides.

[RHServant]

@oakdaleG No kidding, he's a good kid.

[RkFast]

@oakdaleG First thing I noticed, too. The man is a gentleman.

[fappintowatchmen]

They all, like, mad, because, like, youtube is like soooo serious

[bonniebunnyhun]

Go eat testies because not all black talk like that

[highregistersean]

i like this guy.  my favorite team and all

[TheJVogs]

upvote for retards!

[sportsfan0518]

you guys are all low for doing this to the poor kid. as a person with a speech impediment, i do say "like" and "um" when i talk a lot. it is not his fault he is stuttering and i feel for him. i have had many situations like that and it sucks. the fact that you guys make fun of him because of his speech, hurts ellis, me, and all of the other people that stutter in the world. how immature of you to make fun of him and grow up. besides, he is better at football than all of you low lifes

[tethreeekknow]

@sportsfan0518 stop making a big deal about it

[Zorravin]

@sportsfan0518

yeah fag, don't make a big deal out of it

[DiLacquaFace]

@sportsfan0518

My name is troy. I play for pittsburg. He sucks compared to me. You suck compared to me

[xProtoman69]

@DiLacquaFace Can't even spell Pittsburgh... Troy my ass..

[cloudparter]

Okay he doesn't have a stutter. Have you people ever seen anyone with a stutter before? They are still articulate and intelligent people, it's just a verbal speech impediment. This guy on the other hand is super nervous and has a hard time articulating what he wants to say, I think he's not used to the pressure of the media but he doesn't have stutter. Jesus people.

[geminus841]

@cloudparter yes i know, but it's still funny. i know you think so too. :D

[travis00017]

@cloudparter -Are you serious? It couldn't be a more textbook example of stuttering..."characterized by involuntary repetition of words and phrases."

[iluvyouwyatt]

@cloudparter

It's possible that he does have a stuttering problem. Some people can have a stutter completely under control until theyre faced with a situation that creates anxiety for them. Calm down.

[CMLAFLAMME]

@cloudparter And what was it about his respectful and honest answers to the questions would make you think he isn't one of these articulate and intelligent people? If you know anything about football questions you would understand what he was referring to when he talks about reading the other teams play. I don't know which is more idiotic, the fact that your saying all people with a stutter are "articulate and intelligent" or the fact that you don't know football so you see this guy as dumb.

[hobbz15]

@cloudparter

wrong, sorry mate but speaking from the point of view of someone who does have a stutter (very near recovered) i can say with near 100% certainty that ellis is afflicted with the same condition. Stuttering is like an iceberg, 10% is the facial contortions and nervous ticks in order to try and get out words that the public see and call 'stuttering', the other 90% is the anxiety leading up to saying particular words or speaking is certain situations.

[hobbz15]

Respond to this video... 

[rprein]

@cloudparter You're obviosly an idiot. Try to be smart and people put likes in your comment becouse they are all a bunch of ignorant assholes who don't know shit about sttutering. I stutter myself and I know that stutter comes in various forms and it's not always the same. Some people just get stucked on words and can't say them, others repeat certain phrases and letters and some can even hide it so they rarely stutter at all. This guy definitely stutters. You don't know shit about it asshole.

[ebtricks]

@cloudparter Fag K

[Mancini234]

@cloudparter you have no idea. all his "like um"s help him to avoid stuttering. read about stuttering and its psychological side effects.

[Patbow25]

@cloudparter Nice to know we have a stuttering expert around. Ellis is a mad nice dude and he does have a stuttering problem.

[XzIsTMeSSiaH]

@cloudparter He does have a stutter saying like um is a technique to make him feel like he's getting his speech off, it's kind of like he's hiding it.

[hockeyplayer12321]

instead of taking the time to think he sais like umm...

[LinTheJoe]

Sounds like he is talking to his Master ... slavery

[rayyseo]

dang, to be honest, i thought he was on drugs at first . I understand now though, i kind of have the same problem with my speech. I truly admire his will to go up in front up the public though.

[delisa12345]

i hate ignorant people, he has a stutter and was super nervous

[delisa12345]

awwww i think he's a cutie and he was nervous its good to see someone so humble

[lostintravise]

It is sad that he is so nervous talking front of people, but you can see how humble he is. We need more people like this guy in the NFL - the league of selfish, self-absorbed assholes.

[litbie]

this video is like um like um like um like um like um uhhhhhhhhh i dont like um know

[Jewdam1basterd]

this is why the bills are 0-8 this season and like um 0-8 in tis season

[jackafa92]

OMG ROFLMAO

[MrKobedoinwork]

This video is fake

[PAYPAMAKA]

@MrKobedoinwork except this is a real interview for a real football player. dumbass

[MrKobedoinwork]

@PAYPAMAKA i meant i could have been edited think fag

[PAYPAMAKA]

@MrKobedoinwork lol you're the only fag here. people like you who think everything is fake are fucking idiots. it looks pretty real to me

[freddygotfingered23]

@MrKobedoinwork your life is fake.

[MrKobedoinwork]

@freddygotfingered23 you guys hear this fag good comeback wow

[freddygotfingered23]

@MrKobedoinwork at least i could think of a comeback without calling someone a fag. because we all know that calling someone a fag is definitely not overused. congratulations.

[lambeauleap52]

he seems like um, a good player. He said that he like um he had like um 2 pics

[shib340]

he just thinks out loud

[Buckeyenut229]

Public speaking is the no. 1 fear in the world above death so ya it's funny but don't criticize for tripping on some words and he probably has a st st st stutter which adds even more humiliation

[Erikfrank123]

This video is

Like umm like umm it's like umm funny and like umm lol funny

[Thraxsmoka420]

It's called trippin on mushrooms.

[Dreaded88]

@Thraxsmoka420 Naw, he's been lickin a Toad!

[duzing4ever]

I do not know why all the hate, he was probably nervous as shit, its easy to sit behind a computer and bash him.

[HopCockProductions]

you are so, like umm, like umm, like umm, dumb. you are, like umm, really dumb. fo real... run and, like umm, like umm, tell dat! homeboy.

[wwf8499]

@HopCockProductions LMAO hahahahaaaahahahah

[Jon72Flores]

maybe if the bills would draft some smarter people maybe they could compete just a tad better in the national football league

[Sybella0988]

@Jon72Flores you're the dumbass if you think stuttering has anything to do with how smart someone is. it's a common speech problem. that's it.

[youngzenizer]

I like the part where he was just reading right

[nothinglikegaming]

Ok, i know he likes the word 'like um' but what about other words, i mean as long as he doesn't think of the word like um it's unnoticeable.

[ROMEYYOUROCK]

What is cool is when loser virgins who live in there parents basement make fun of someone who has a speech impediment.

[clitoriscletus]

Dude is nothing but class! Fuck all you haters. The NFL needs more people like Ellis and less people like Braylon Edwards

[niignastii]

this is why the monkeys need to stay in the zoo.

[VinForTheWin1]

i like the part where he was like umm

[MALIRIPPA]

dis makes me sad even the reporters simplifying there question

may allah help him improove his speech ability

[extreme89serb]

he seems like a really good guy,nice and polite.

[rapmili23]

this is a true player! never let anyone discourage you from reaching your goals

[SlinkCsubacca]

[kjfkjvk]

you people need to grow up and shut the fuck up.

this guy obviously has a speech problem and you all wanna make fun of him for it. GO FUCK YOURSELVES and stop hatin. hes in the fuckin nfl so he is clearly talented and sucessful.

[SlinkCsubacca]

@kjfkjvk stfu dude, loosen up. jesus christ

[rockplantefl]

@SlinkCsubacca Here is the problem: Ellis Lanksder has a speech impediment called stuttering. When you stutter, your neurological muscles CANNOT loosen up; so for someone to say that he needs to loosen up, please read some information about stuttering. Lanksder uses the word " um" as a helping word because he is afraid he is going to stutter. I am appreciative to those people who feel bad for Lanksder, and others like him. I'm not sure if everyone knows but MANY famous people - including many

[rockplantefl]

@SlinkCsubacca many NFL stars stutter. For example, Ladainian Tomilson, Darrel Sproles, and Adrian Peterson. Besides that, many famous people ( such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison) all stuttered. So please do not tell this due to shut the f up, or use the Lord's name in vein. Respect people's disabilities please, because I am sure you are not perfect either. That is not a call out to you, that is a statement; no one ( including you) is perfect.

[SlinkCsubacca]

@rockplantefl i was telling another dude to stfu, not ellis lankster, i love ellis! and JESUS CHRIST MAN! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! v

[smith4595013]

@kjfkjvk i think this guy was on shrooms or something. because he is obviously messed up

[uindicator]

@smith4595013 actually shroomz would help this problem

[m0r81dd351r3]

@kjfkjvk we are not haters, we are like um..like um...we are like um..

[IPawnt]

@m0r81dd351r3 How about idiots. That sounds about right.

[mrisaac1995]

If you think this is funny then you're an asshole.

[crazymakking]

like um...... Wtf...

[ScottfromTexas]

@mengjohn - great guy who was arrested for receiving stolen property, too, right? If this guy was White you wouldn't be singing his praises. Your brain is broken.

[ScottfromTexas]

@Adam5Beast - There are places where everyone is like him - places like Liberia. What is wrong with you people?

[nedb140]

i was like um

[lakaiguy17]

you guys are fucked up this dudes a beast he just has a speach problem hes prly doing better in life than everyone who commented on this

[1990broad]

he seems like a humble guy who is respectful and apparently has a relationship with the lord. he might not be the most elegant speaker but who cares...hes not a criminal, spoiled, or arrogant...all characteristics that seems to be hard to find in professional sports

[ScottfromTexas]

@1990broad - Like you know so much about him. A quick search of his name and "arrested" shows otherwise! You sound like another brainwashed person with White guilt. Why are you so determined to make excuses for this guy?

[1990broad]

@ScottfromTexas he got arrested back when he played college ball...way to leave that out...your a douche who keeps bringing race into the conversation...no one wants you to comment here

[ScottfromTexas]

@1990broad "he got arrested back when he played college ball."

Oh, that makes it ok? LOL! Your parents must have been lowlifes if they didn't impart any values to you. Sad, really.

[1990broad]

@ScottfromTexas you are a loser who starts arguments on youtube...

[AlecBoy006]

Not saying he's not a nice guy. I'm sure he works hard and all, but how can you not laugh?

[SusKatamad05]

*facepalm* FAIL

[msqueenbrii]

i was like um so like um

[iTzCiRcA]

The guy clearly has a speech impediment that causes stuttering. It's really not any more complicated than that...

[zeinnaja]

This is either a stuttering problem, his first interview, or both.

[AlecBoy006]

And I thought Bush couldn't speak English.......

[crzy402]

[chadbrochill199]
