NASA Simulator Preps Astronauts For Larry King Interview

[DarcyVictoria]

@manwithouthat44 no (unfortunately) it's a spoof

[manwithouthat44]

is this real ?

[gamerunknown]

I wonder if they got rid of Today Now because the hosts did something illegal. I never thought they left the set, but perhaps they're criminal masterminds.

[b0010100b]

"until you actually feel the intense heat of his breath on your face you really can't know what it's like"

lmao!!

[EgaoNoGenki]

Piers Morgan replaced Larry, and Christine O'Donnell had a real challenge, kinda like this one!

[Islandboyy02]

A little known fact... in its preliminary stages, NASA used an Oprah Simulator, but had to discontinue as a whopping 74% of astronauts suffered nose bleeds....

[ezmereldagreen]

'larry king's going to spin into an out of control name-dropping vortex' !LMFAO!!! his computer simulation does look really creepy..

[FeebleNosemanny]

I lost it at "which of these would you define as torture"

[EgaoNoGenki]

Who replaced Larry King after he went off the air?

[techbeast34]

One Guy Blew his head off using this.

[1954mikel]

very nice! Please, look my antigravity simulator in youtube

[RobertPaulDoran]

Jerry Seinfeld Gets Angry at Larry King

[kingricky71]

if level 1 was that hard,god knows what the next ones are like

[godzillafights]

@kingricky71 no one has ever passed level 4.....

[cipher2]

The onion has some very stupid ideas for comedy. Let's get rid of the onion forever. Waste of paper and time, usually on the dark side of humanity. Puke up some funny material for once, or change your format to accommodate what you kats are able to come up with. THE ONION SUCKS RAW ASSHOLE!!!!!

[uxet]

@cipher2

You're probably just butthurt because you fell for one of their videos :/

[theones77]

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY.

[psyckojoe]

Vegeta! What does the scouter say about his logic level?

IT'S OVER NINE THOU- no wait... ZERO!? THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE POSSIBLE!

[RomZruleTeHworld]

I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY

D:

[Fibonacci1334]

3:18 look at the caption. lololololololool

[wassuppaska]

57 people think being on Jerry Springer was tougher

[sirbrofistington]

@wassuppaska 1835 people agree that your comment blows

[wassuppaska]

@sirbrofistington come on now, there was no mention of Justin Bieber... it was decent

[septip123]

The Onion is off the charts brilliant in satire. At times I'm filled with envy that I can't write this funny and this well.

[TheMadCheeseGrater]

December 16,2010 - The "Last" Larry King Live tonight! I guess that means he dies before tomorrow?

[OathOfOdium]

I Hate Larry King.

[EgaoNoGenki]

@OathOfOdium Well then you'll be quite grateful because he just retired from his show! You won't have to worry about him anymore! :)

[Splooshiba]

this is one of my favourites :P

[xbumrushx]

Haha!

[Ramsez]

World War II, Frank Sinatra, paid 90 cents on the dollar.

[jabaTV]

haha i need to do a review on a news broadcast for school and my mom thinks this is the news broadcast

[eleutheromaniac]

i thought this was real until the 'great sex after 20' tease, then i was like 'oh they're joking'. cuz obviously it's absurd to think you'll even have good sex after 20 let alone great. i mean nothing's ever gonna compare to the school gym orgy of junior year or even the time i filmed Mrs. Cooper getting a dirty sanchez with Mr. Newman in the teacher's lounge, which we later watched at Mr. Cooper's birthday party/S&M bondage-anything-goes-meet-n-g­reet (his request).

ah, youth. sigh.

[jmorgan87]

@eleutheromaniac Aging is optional. Tale a bunch of fancy herbs and vitamins and you'll see what I mean. I'm 26, I have thick veiny arms and most of my baby teeth have yet to fall out..

[EgaoNoGenki]

@jmorgan87 Which herbs & vitamins?

[jmorgan87]

@EgaoNoGenki Take as many herbs and antioxidants as you can afford along with a powerful bodybuilding multivitamin. Ginseng, CoQ10, carnitine, beta alanine, etc.

[anewman513]

@eleutheromaniac  Ahhhhhh yes - the good old days with Mrs. Cooper - she was quite a vixen!

[EgaoNoGenki]

How did they get the "KingSim" logos & nameplates if it isn't real?

[hempartist420]

@EgaoNoGenki because it is real genius

[EgaoNoGenki]

@hempartist420 I tried finding it on Wikipedia, but nothing came up. Sorry, please try again.

[hempartist420]

@EgaoNoGenki good lord you must be R E T A R D E D

[EgaoNoGenki]

@hempartist420 Just answer the question:

How did The Onion get the "KingSim" logos & nameplates?

(If someone argues that it was "videoshopped" on there, I wouldn't buy it.)

[hempartist420]

@EgaoNoGenki why can't they just make the logos themselves? I don't know why that is so hard to imagine

[quelorepario]

@EgaoNoGenki photoshop, illustrator, an average graphic designer and a plotter.

[Inediblehulk]

I was actually pretty let down about not being asked about peach cobbler when I was on Larry King. Almost as disappointed as when I found out I wasn't actually on Larry King, but merely watching it while eating peach cobbler.

[TrygviMurt]

"King's rambling anecdotes cause many astronauts to pass out or vomit" roflmao

[operationnorthwoodz]

Level 10: Larry tries to bang his sister. Or his wife's sister.

[senior1mexicano2]

i want to go to space and be a space explorer

[NaturalBornKilaz]

PLEASE DO THE WORLD A FAVOUR AND GO DIE IF U THINK THIS IS REAL

[Kpro4]

hahahaha... Larry King, buahahahahahaha

[TimeQueenofRome]

I wonder what the Larry King Live Interview is like for a novice who doesn't go into the KingSim.

[TarenReyem]

We're gonna start you out on level one of the King sim, so he'll be making a lot more sense then he would in reality, but its still not going to be anything like a normal human being.

ROFL

[TimeQueenofRome]

NASA also has introduced a new simulator, KeithSim, which preps astronauts for an interview on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

[nanaohz]

lol at smltr

[volcom13xx]

who pays for all of this?

[Freyjasgodhi]

That's actually NASA! ROFL!!!!

[Rattman127]

haha this is one of my favorite news casts!

[schusterlehrling]

Sarah Palin should havehad this interview simulator, and McCain would have won.

[mompm]

fantastic!

[oddvidios]

@antivaccine u suck

[LAMFi1ms]

I love it! Very funny

[bootysweat4444]

chabbi i have no words to describe how stupid you are.

[oddvidios]

1:16

that is EPIC

[Gumbo550]

''its still not gonna be anything like talking to a normal human being''

[Wusa3131]

No, it isn`t .

x[

[chabi3000]

@Wusa3131 then why the astronaut in the simulator went so crazy ? ... its just a simulator , is he mentally retarded or something ?

[failtolawl]

yea, they didn't mention it though.

[gabeguy24]

yeah, lol at first I thought one of the vids was true, but it came to me xD

[oddvidios]

i live in houston so i hear the muffeled screams of the astronaughts in the simulator

no man should ever have to face lary king

we have the right to coherence

[CassetteMaster]

This is too funny!!!

[monicannabella]

"Question Randomness"

"Awkward Dead Silence"

"Clothing Garishness"

"Stare Intensity"

[JETZcorp]

Want to know how much of a nerd I am?

At 1:37 that joystick and throttle setup is a Thrustmaster Cougar - a reproduction of the real F-16 jet controls. At least, I think it's a Cougar, it could just by a piece of plastic fashioned to look like an F-16 stick and not be a real input device at all. Whatever.

[Pyroney]

You're an awesome nerd tho :D

[TheOneMightyOne]

@JETZcorp Cunt.

[JETZcorp]

@TheOneMightyOne You're a wonderful person, I'm sure.

[tenhundredkills]

@TheOneMightyOne Wow, you're cool. Just randomly blurting out "cunt" to someone.

[Justification75]

@JETZcorp LOL that made my day. :D

[ImTheBatchMan]

@JETZcorp A real nerd is never doubtful.

[gamerblood]

@JETZcorp Wow, you saw a pretty popular controller you owned and you recognized it. That's so nerdy.

[JETZcorp]

@gamerblood They're not all that popular, actually, because they were ridiculously expensive and about as reliable as a car made out of saltine crackers. I've never owned one - although I have seen the real version (that is, the one that comes with an F-16 attached to it) a couple times.

[therifletower]

@JETZcorp Want to know how much of a nerd you are? Not much. You're so smart you say " I could just BY a piece of plastic" ?

[MadsterV]

@therifletower no he didn't. You just mistyped his typo

Original : "it could just by a piece of plastic"

You: "I could just BY a piece of plastic"

That'll be all

-Happily pointing people's mistakes to the ones who point out other peoples mistakes.

[NoTrueFace1]

@JETZcorp

A joystick named Thrustmaster Cougar...wow someone has a dirty mind.

[Manofaction0]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY T_T

[Manofaction0]

Such brave souls.....

[foodiggler]

"larry kings gonna spin into out of control name dropping vortex" LOL

[gamer424]

Let's all take a moment of silence for the astronauts who died because of larry king.

[sukrpunch]

Great sex after 20 lol (le sigh I am 22 :( )

[XxINCHAINSxX]

@sukrpunch :( I am 21... *sigh*

[bobby123greenhalgh]

I've heard that in extreme cases N.A.S.A has started teaching their Astronauts the kamikaze phrase "You're being unreasonable" If you're not trained in it however you will just look like an idiotic, self promoting, asshole on T.V. as you incoherently mutter the phrase over and over.

[kninja41]

don't you mean "you're being inappropriate."

[bobby123greenhalgh]

either or

[deoradude]

that ending car was hilarious.

ironicly while at safeway (buying coke for friday night gaming with buddies of course) i saw the exact same headline on a magazine ._.

[ramona7609]

lol

[bretp99]

Oh my God! It's so unfair that NASA gets the Kingsim while people like Carrie "I can't hear you!" Prejan have to face him utterly unprepared.

[sdgdsgs]

they're so brave to go threw with this

[bullbunnies]

i thought the ninja parade was real

lol for me

[A15KaldrinJAB]

@THEROCKETSUMMERL0VER Anybody who is going to tell this body what "the onion" is, please dont.

[wmpiam]

@A15KaldrinJAB Seriously man that does ruin it for those of us who enjoy their stupidity. :D

[spartan7403]

EPIC LOLLL!

[goatbut29]

LMAO Genius!

[BiuePillow]

omg this is hilarious

[Tylerunderfire]

thats what i call a LOL

[ERIK000000000]

uhoh hes going in to a vortex... xD

[HumbleHermit7]

LOL an astronaut can loose all sense of space and time ahahaha

[Afr0Afr0]

define torture?

Miley cyrus david spade . how do you react to that?

LOL!!!

[GotBomb]

LOL

[andyrooney11]

It must take a lot of money to put all of this together and to have so many little segments. Considering how most of them are funny and they have so many different themes to each segment...I was just wondering, who funds all of that? It definitely can't be cheap and they're posting everything on YouTube so they're not selling the fake news.

[Jsd8675]

Newspaper/Youtube ad revenue

[MidgardEagle]

They also sell merchandise.

[jasonofcompsci]

I've been thinking the same thing for a long time.

[moredimoi]

They sell commercial time before the video's.

[Gumbo550]

@andyrooney11 They have an actual newspaper, so they probably get alot of money from that.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@Gumbo550 actually most of the money they make is from advertising. I dont know about other states, but here in Wisconsin (the home of the Onion) they have free onion newspapers around the college campuses. Though they do have alot of advertisements in it, like for clubs, bars, strip clubs.

[WarpeaceWar6]

@Gumbo550 their newspaper is free though

[robi2000]

oooh can't wait to see that 200th episode of homeless man holds emergency room hostage on ER !

[nuffimnam]

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! funniest news network EVER!

[TEMPESTSPARK]

lol

[SoothingSound]

It's amazing how professionally the Onion News is made, if you'd mute the sound, you'd probably think it's a real news program. Brilliant acting and editing.

[HaloPhreak117]

@SoothingSound Even without it muted it looks like a real news program.

[Aussiegirl265]

@SoothingSound except for the funny headlines at the bottom of the screen ahha :D

[cveich]

@SoothingSound i agree!

[jbartz]

where do they get the money to produce these shows? they always look so professional and convincing

[warforger2nd]

They run a newspaper and they use adverts.

[MidgardEagle]

They also sell merchandise such as cups and t-shirts. They probably have sponsors, too.

[sjsharkspwnu]

this is way toooooooooo funny

[brukins]

LOL!

[patrioticanadians]

master of talk shows larry is

[kmsbell]

larry king is an alien

[goldenjabba]

nope, 684.

[isishatesme17]

Roflmao

[necroticpuub]

Oxhorn Videos dude.

[letsbehapi]

lol...

[urlocalSAVAGE]

...Larry King wears suspenders. Who the fuck still wears suspenders? How old is that old fart?

[existenceisrelative]

Hey hey HEY!!! There are plenty of people that wear suspenders!! I mean... clowns. There are plenty of clowns that wear suspenders! I mean rodeo clowns. But still!!!

[existenceisrelative]

STFU: Stinky Time Fun Uncles.

[CardingtonLZF]

One of the best parts is the end with: 'it reduced interview-related deaths for astronauts by 30%' because it seems real. We hear these sort of statistics every day, with no proof to back them up, and we automatically believe them. For all we know the statistic was just made up to make a product look better. Just saying, modern society kinda sucks.

[luvdemladies]

,,,the size of his forehead

[urlocalSAVAGE]

lol i'd digg that comment if i could

[luvdemladies]

what??

[urlocalSAVAGE]

that comment about the size of his forehead. I'd digg it if i could. I could digg the video but, ehhh

[SporksAreGoodForYou]

Click share -> then Digg.

[MrPat1978]

"To help them build up their tolerance to the lack of logic they'll face ..." LMAO. Yay TheOnion !

[Wahzoozoo]

larry king is so freakin annoying the poor astronuat i can never go through that

[boxorak]

@WAHZOOZOO:

You sure? Remember, this IS satire.

[adisharr]

What the hell is wrong with people that think 'The Onion' is real? LMAO

[remyrenaud]

r u retarded?

[1freedomfighter11]

It is called the union, they do fake skits like this.

Peace.

[chrisbjr]

lol.. it's "onion"

[1freedomfighter11]

DOH!!!

[askAlanNow]

No its not a joke.

[MercedesCars454]

its fake. onion news is fake

[MercedesCars454]

its fake

[billsdynasty09]

Hahahaahahaaha. The Kingsim did a great job programming the head size to suspender length ratio.

"The astronauts practice for everything including the history of NASA to their thoughts on peach cobbler" LMAO

[Thisisthefuture100]

ROFFFLLLL

[bob999999999900000]

He is very non-sensical. good job.

[dimebag5462]

HAHHAHA

LMFAO

[sirMAXX77]

[Vayner11]

[sacha4you]

sirMAXX77, have you already tried to update her firmware? (Don't forget the reboot of her brain.)

;-))
