Typography about language by Ronnie Bruce

[theeverydayguys]

These roots of our language are not which to be proud of. Throughout the years have come the artistic integrity, social placement, and diseased language. The slang that has come along has not led to our stupidity... ya know?

[Ninure]

Well, like. can you understand what he's asking, right?

[tsjb89]

HAHA IT'S SO FUNNY BECUASE IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE!

Oh wait, it isn't, know what i'm saying?

[tyrgoossens]

Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man.

[eoinmannion7]

Absolute genius haha

[MsPikadog]

I love this video, my friend completly memorized it, it is hilarious, but true at the same time.

[Bubbleboy0418]

@Ashleygirl01

He doesn't point a finger a country he points it at a generation. I don't know where you're from but that's only because idiots don't have their own island. If you liked that.check out brave new voices

[HappyPerson43]

this always makes my day.

[AshleyGirl01]

i love this, and anyone who doesnt or doesnt get it just proes him right. well done world. especially america, niiiiice job.

[biasedadvice]

This is probably my favorite video ever uploaded to Youtube.

[OrangeD00D]

I think Stephen Fry's commentary on evolving language is better.

[ZachFejes]

This is excellent and, I believe, completely true.

[YourTeacherLE]

Fabulous - is there a text for this (for my language students)?

[Rundfunk90]

@YourTeacherLE not this exact text, but I'll PM you the text (url restrictions etc)

[PickleHead60]

Wait, what? Which are you - blind or deaf?

[RedemtionInABox]

You've*

[ArtFromNature]

HAHAHAHA!!! I showed my mom this, and of course what does she get out of it? She notices the one typo he has at the end. Nice Mom. Nice.

Personally I think this's amazing and oh so true!!!

[daleo79]

awesome and truth!

[LukeSebNeville]

The fact that nobody gets this just proves his point. Well done world.

[whoisbbg]

What an angry dude.

[TheDazzalicious]

i honestly don't get this...

[artmeanslove]

I love this man so much.

[TheNoahnlsn]

Henry Rollins did it better.

[TheNoahnlsn]

Henry Rollins did it better.

[eliden]

this is sooo true, we totally butchered the language!

[amboyaereo]

It's a woman thing.the metrosexuals honed it to a fine art...A nation of pansies, that's what we are.

[melissmine]

@amboyaereo

As a woman, I say fuck your ignorant assumption. We can speak our mind just as well as any man.

By the way, posting derogatory comments on the internet using a anonymous username seems like a pretty pansy thing to do...

You know what I mean?

[SmapAttack]

@amboyaereo

How's this for a declarative statement from a woman:

FUCK YOU!

[MrCharlyAndy]

One may develop the knack of speaking with conviction… even, or maybe especially, while spouting nonsense or even lying.

[TheChivalricKnight]

9 people didn't pass basic High School grammar classes.

[TheChivalricKnight]

KINETIC TYPOGRAPHY.

I love it.

[TheChivalricKnight]

@iluvlife212121 Spell school correctly and capitalize the beginnings of your sentences so that for a moment I could read them without kicking myself in the face and holding utter disappointment in the world. Please and thank you.

[BlizzardandBlaze]

What happened? A lot of us have become skeptical and don't accept someone's opinion just because they say it with authority. But he is right, you need to speak with authority to be believed.

[lovesvivienleigh]

I loved this! I liked the captions as well. Nicely done and thanks for sharing :)

[gurenig]

You dont know how much times i had to use google translate, to understand the high language used in here. And no I'm not stupid! But English is'nt my native language.

[jkers10]

Beautiful, striking and relevant poem, fabulously executed. Well done!

[abc723]

(Not being an asshole) But this isn't Ronnie Bruce. It's Taylor Mali. Just saying.

[Rundfunk90]

@abc723 (Not being an asshole) But please do read the description :)

[abc723]

@Rundfunk90 Oh shit, man, my bad. Lmao. Paying attention isn't really my strong suit. XD:

[TimUrgent]

people tend to hate change? fear what they don't understand?

[XxthunderingxhorsexX]

My science teacher showed me this.(:i talk like this ALLLLLLL the time!!:Dlmfaao.

[TheNuclearpolitics]

I have learned English in Armenia, I further advanced it in Lebanon during my 3 year stay and by now I know it better than most of my American friends. I have very little noticeable accent, or so I thought before coming to U.S.A and seeing the extremely stupid and illogical accent they use there. I am accused of bad accent for this very reason, because I speak with conviction! I refuse to put invisible question marks and I refuse to add "Ye know"-s and "like"-s...

[ezerlie]

Goes too fast, appeals to people with media ADD. The statement being made is not new or original. Yawn.

[MrJb728b]

Only idiots and brain-dead juveniles use the word "like" as if it were a form of punctuation. Great poem. Loved it. You should do one about the "Aggressively Ignorant" who speak in text.

[BluntFarce]

Well said and well shown.

No question about THAT.

[sidthekid2009]

its like what chris rock said "niggas love to not know" lol

[MegaSHamed]

amazing ))) thanx for sharing

[jxfry]

God, is this funny, because it is so true!!!! Speak with conviction...and authority!

[reboundchair]

How much do I love this! Well done!

[KwartzKitten]

I love this. Funny and inspirational.

[Kenshiro1711]

Stumbled from Argentina. Thumbs up!

[geniemist]

SOMEONEshoulDdooooChristopherW­alken-.-

[AuntieMmmm2]

Brilliant~~~My husband and I both loved this...

[Dkissinger23]

i feel like a highschool english teacher would nut if they saw this.

[Rundfunk90]

@Dkissinger23 He would probably do the same when he reads your comment. No offense.

[tamispenis]

@Dkissinger23 Mine did .

[MrRofl32]

@Dkissinger23 My high school English teacher actually did show us this.

[1NaviKing1]

@MrRofl32 So did mine.

[TRozborski]

@Dkissinger23 I am and I do along with all the other english teachers who agree with Taylor Mali

[crohammod]

Wow, you're an English teacher and write crappily-structured sentences like these? Scary!

[crohammod]

@crohammod @Dkissinger23

[merullo23]

@Dkissinger23 Taylor Mali IS a high school English teacher. Makes sense, right?

[xZahl7x]

@Dkissinger23 the funny thing is that my english teacher used this in a lesson. we even had to respond to this which is pretty cool because i love it.

[Aurifier]

It's like he's talking directly to me! O.o

I like it. :D

[Aprilshowersss]

that was a poem? ... oh well it was cool anyway.

[krraa]

I loooooove stumble!

[Twister051]

BRILLIANT! Simply, BRILLIANT!

Hats off to Mr. Mali as the writer as well as the reader (was that Ronnie Bruce or did he just do the graphics/typography?) The reader's intonation was PERFECT!

Very funny, and very, very true.

Long live proper language!, for as the prophets and wise men know, the pen is always mightier than the sword....

[now33]

great...do not change a thing

[Cirofren]

So uh, this poem was... a thing, like rite?

[LFZ15]

It's just slang...

[kirwanqueren]

Please don't take this down. Its a very valid piece of art, and I would hate to see it disappear.

[bigbuse87]

This seems to be a phenomenon in primarily the United States. Somewhere or sometime it became a problem to "offend" people. So much so that we have created a bunch of push-overs and people afraid to make ANY declarative statement.

Sometimes you have to be an asshole.

[AimlessViolence]

@bigbuse87 It's really not a problem in Ireland.

Nobody is afraid to insult.

It's better to be an asshole.

[Jitpring]

@bigbuse87 Such is the dictatorship of relativism, of which most today are obedient subjects.

[russell6clacks]

"It is not enough these days to simply question authority, ya gotta speak with it too"

Awesomeness.

[rave4daze]

I stumbled this, but I don't, like, y'know, have a compulsive need to share that?

CON-VIC-TION

[podsednik22]

aggressively inarticulate...

lol

[oshmunnies]

why does this video have captions? it's, like, made of words already!

[Rundfunk90]

It's the original poem on taylor mali's website, so I thought I would put it in there but it really is overdone.. I'll take it off ;)

[Bremerxxxx]

You bastard! That was, like, a sarcastic allusion.

[Bremerxxxx]

This was, like, you know, a great poem.

[clayaputexas]

really funny and true! I wish this was a video of him actually saying this instead of these disorienting texts of what he is saying...you know what i mean??.. stumble Austin, Texas.

[ValientProductions]

Stumbled from California!

[m4lvolio]

Too little of this typography was actually suggestive to the text.

[russell6clacks]

@m4lvolio I have to agree, but most typography videos on youtube are like that. The best I've seen so far is the fight club chemical burn one.

[bryansteeksma]

what is with this "stumbled" "I stumbled" crap? It's got to stop.

[sacredgeometry]

stumble upon toolbar for firefox, get it its great. But yes the "stumbled" comments are redundant attempts to make their pointless existence noticed.

Quite a fitting video really

peace

Brian

[gregtestagent]

Stumbled from I don't give a fuck where you stumbled from!

[StationaryTransient]

Cry more?

[thevandy24]

stumbled from florida

[tux937534]

stumbled

[amboyaereo]

@tux937534 I toled you it's spelled stombld
