Digging for the Truth Director's Comments Josh Bernstein

[imafine1]

Ha! Good job, Chloe. Very entertaining. I thought you were serious at first.

[yikinchankawil]

what's this? I don't understand all this blabering... why don't you try to read something serious instead of lose your time a ours...

[scaner411]

well at least you're a good liar...

prof. lennings said that he's an amateur...

ouch...

[adamsfall]

Choctaws, Hopis, Albanians...What's the dif? This is hyper, post - post modern interactive anthropology 2.0 where a new reality of subject interacting with object is created.

A bold, radical new vision of cultural interaction where hovering over Pueblo Bonito uncovers the real truth of what happened.

[sonofthetis]

This guy's a toolbag amateur. Academics laugh at this guy.

[harrisman71]

he so boned her and she's still tingling...

[johanna1861]

He's been wearing that bracelet for years before that show was filmed.

[tkinbk]

he got a big nose

[IntoTheUnknown137]

o plz.......

[kjrosado]

is this for real? i wonder how many times she had to rehearse this so she didn't say, "liiike, oh my gOD!!" in every sentence... and if she thinks we've really moved away from sterotypes of "savages" and imperialism, it's time to turn the tv OFF and travel.

[wh0f4rted]

Ha! For the first 60 seconds of this video I had an overwhelming desire to punch your face. But then your ostentatious enthrallment turns to yummy cynicism. Well done old chap! You remind me of Sarah Silverman...if she had graduated from the 5th grade and got an education.

[marcusamarrious]

i wonder how hard he @#$#ed her to say that.

[omgitsnina]

hahahaaa it's totally comming off like that.... to bad it wasn't me!

[muffinnatasha7]

Thats not very nice. Although she probably wants to shes said what happens in chaco canyon stays in chaco canyon and I swear she winked at the end of the video when she said I look forward to working with him again.

[egyptiancotton1]

How embarassing for you. I have a pic of JB from 2004 BEFORE he signed on to do DFT and he is WEARING that bracelet--ha!! OMG, too funny! But hey, a girl can dream...

[lornaknight]

so, that bracelet wasn't from chloe? i felt better! haha! thanks for the info:)

[israelxkv8r]

this is flippin' hilarious! very well done. i like how napco205 (above) didn't get the joke...

lol.

[drey27]

comments here are funny lol

[Napco205]

Oh shut up, bitch! Your so full of shit,..it's ridiculous. That is why the show was canceled! I'm glad Josh is off the history channel, make room for something more interesting and worth while.

[egyptiancotton1]

Actually, JB left DFT after season 3 to join DC. Hunter Ellis took over season 4. And the show was great with JB hosting!

[dannysmack06]

this is great, I've been in the need for some seriously good intelligent satire and commentary on what constitutes a 'documentary' these days. I stumbled upon this while writing a post-grad piece on ethnographic method and praxis. Best return I ever got for simply typing Geertz into a search box! Keep up the good work, you have a new fan.

[pbwm7]

I like the show and I love Josh But what I waned to pont out is that Josh probley had the bracelet even befor he started on DFT,so ur saying u gave it to him whatts the deal.

[dustandcinder]

This is gold!

[ndo84]

brilliant. by the way, "extreme sarcasm" was the right choice here. allowed you to promiscuously mix up different discourses (e.g. overcoming classical anthropological theory and methodology, superiority of new information & transport technology, ...), invert them (irrational behaviour NOT by the natives,...) and expose in an obvious but truly amusing way some contradictions (how do all of his EXTREME activities relate to the native's point of view,...).

well done.

[ArmchairSubversive]

I think I love you! So glad you found my video and enjoyed it.

[ndo84]

lol. i think I love you too! if not for the video, definitely for that comment

[sainters7]

The host is kind of a dork with the whole Indiana Jones get-up he's got going on every episode, but over-all the show's cool for a History nerd like myself.

[madhadr264]

BIAATCH !

[imperssonal]

You tried to hard

[ajmal87]

get a date with him gal .... ur obsessed .... maybe ur hoping josh watches this .... goodluck

[strongfp]

lulz, it's a TV show, on history, that is interesting and doesnt have to do with war. What more do you want?

[palarjones]

Indiana Jones sucks! Now go back home and return what you stole.

[arlette311]

i have the same bracelet. and i think it has magical powers. great video!

[Correlyan]

Oh l-a-m-e. Why all the chagrin? You'd think he owed her money or something.

[tombarnett]

a brilliant sarcastic deconstruction of the inanity of the program. but this humor just corroborates the sense of media vacuousness. It complexifies the web of questions that viewers get caught up in preventing them from getting a clear perspective on the phenomenon of 'extreme archaology'.Surely a more straightforward breakdown of the programs flaws would be more appropriate? Or does the director think that 'extreme archaology' is SO ridiculous it is only worthy of 'extreme sarcasm'!

[ArmchairSubversive]

Hi Tom, thanks for your comment! I guess my goal isn't to have the most amount of people possible 'get' this. A more straightforward breakdown of the program's flaws wouldn't be funny to me. 'Extreme archaeology' is only worthy of 'extreme sarcasm'. You've got it!!

[FALLOFARES]

Ha Ha Ha!!! super funny. I like the show for entertainment, not education. super funny though.

[VicaPota]

Are the t-shirt and big words supposed to scare people into believing you're so smart?  You come across as an arrogant bitch.

[popinjay3000]

i like your harvard t shirt, i immidiately felt i should give weight to your words.... and so intelligent for a beautiful amarican !!! when you say words i dont understand.. reflexivity..wow, youre intelligent, sexy and cool (like josh). ide love to read argonauts too, i applaud you.

[Ladybozi]

lmao.

[3025ed]

love his show, but wish he would burn that hat. also he should not carry that purse everywhere.

[swinginmama]

She was being sarcastic. She's criticizing Josh's "archaeological" methods.

[egyptiancotton1]

To each his own. Live and let live.

[rumagin]

"Bolder academic enquiries". This is a lot of load of crap. And is certainly not anthropology. Pop culture anthro, maybe, but not rigorous in any way. Sounds like BA material after a night at the pub. Try again please

[BLumpbunny]

Stupid...

[Rapashi]

"Oh my God! That man is old enough to be your father!"

Is he your father?

[Rapashi]

What?

What did you say?

Do you think you can throw in a few more big words, because I didn't get it?

You are so funny, do your mom knows that you're on YouTube?

[adamfilmmaker]

Thoroughly brilliant, darling. Brilliant. As you've so successfully challenged our directorial confessions we will have to respond with fully automatic recreations of extreme archaeology informed by the most spectacular mix of sex, media, celebrity, adventure, brow sweat, indigenous informantion capable of precipitating chronic, mildly arosed, scheduled viewing of performative visual anthropology.
