Fema Suggests Terrible Christmas Gifts

[bunkmasterflex]

I wouldn't necessarily mind a fire extinguisher for christmas. Then again i was born without a personality or tastes.

[TheStormchaser1]

FEMA had the best Christmas Gifts, thank goodness they left out the duct tape.

Never ever put duct tape on a window when natural disaster hits. When a window breaks, it breaks into large shards which can be impaled into a person and that person dies. Now when it breaks without the duct tape, tiny pieces which are harmless. Never ever ever duct tape windows.

[Daisy4Loka]

What's so terrible about those gift ideas? They sound pretty good to me.

[returnoftheramble3]

What are they going to be badass and give us this as a Christmas gift? I don't care. I'm bored. FEMA gives me the best gifts ever. I'm a boring person.

[Nyarl3]

Wow, Cenk looks a lot thinner here...wasn't even that long ago.

[rosrychaplet]

let me tell you those are great presents for people who are into being prepared.

[WormRecon]

Aaaah ha ha! "Unwrapping a box of Debbie Schlussel!"

[AdiRudi]

Probably more useful than what most people get for Christmas :-p

[AKTHAROC]

what a great way to end it with PAC

[rickelmonoggin]

My house went on fire on Christmas Eve. Thank f**k we had a fire extinguisher.

Get someone a FE but don't wait for Christmas Day to give it to them.

[codediporpal]

Fire extinguisher. Macaroni and Cheese. Una Cubeta de Cervesas. 香爆炸 WTF?

[Lukvania]

ana is damn fine

[LTakaKAEL]

Goddammit, TYT, do something about Ana already ! She's getting so hot that I can't focus on the actual news anymore. CURSES!

[chefawkes]

@LTakaKAEL

ya, im tired of coming on these vids and getting a boner. tell ana to put a burka on or something so i can concentrate on the stories

[steveoah]

@LTakaKAEL

Maybe her hideous wardrobe as of late is an attempt at addressing your concerns. wtf is up with the weird shoulders on her blouses? Yuck. And I thought that enormous mic she was hidden behind for years was a disservice to the show.

[AlvaroAndfriends]

You know how many people die from fires? Hundreds die each year in the US due to fires.

Heck i never in my life even have a fire Distinguisher and that could really save lives. How many homes does it even have fire Distinguishers? I bet very few.

Pass me one that would be my best Christmas Present ever. Better safe then sorry.

[jumar1281]

i agree... practical gifts like a fire extinguisher, or a disaster ready kit for your car (jumper cables, flares, dried food, etc) are great gifts, for any day of the year, but for not so much for christmas. give those gifts out on like a tuesday that has nothing going on, they will score big points on those mundane days

[SwindleUK]

you know thousands of people die from gunfire in the US, get a bullet proof vest instead.

[xxdonaldqxx]

Also get a firearm to protect yourself !!

[nilbud]

rofl, good one

[tonysoprano216]

AK-47 lookin good today.

[Reqrezentin]

@tonysoprano216

Your username and your weapon of choice = Fireworks in New Jersey

[MrDoose]

LOL i got my neighbor a fire extinguisher for christmas. her stove caught on fire and she ran all the way over to my place to ask for help. sometimes a fire extinguisher can be a good thoughtful gift!

[kokofan50]

its only a good idea if you like saying i think you're going brun your house down

[MrDoose]

well, i added "and have a happy new year."

[kokofan50]

thats a nice thing to say but what does it matter

[MaryJesusJoseph]

"Unwrapping a box of Debbie Schleussel"--I laughed so hard people were looking in my office to see what's wrong.

[upabittoolate]

In fairness, FEMA is onto something here. Although they royally fucked up Katrina, I dare say that the citizens didn't exactly help themselves either; at least they didn't do the best job.  What's wrong with a little bit of preparedness? I'm not talking about being geared up for the Apocalypse but a fire extinguisher isn't a bad idea. Nor are batteries, crank powered radios, supplies of camping food, rain ponchos or multipurpose clothes or 1st aid kits.

[regtracker]

fire departments have been saying this for DECADES lol.FEMA proved their effectiveness with the example you stated lol.Katrina's onslaught made any "preparedness" rather MOOT lol, considering the fact that all of your water,batteries, etc... would have been washed away lol.

FEMA is a money pit( a joke). thats why the military should have been called out( say what you want about martial law) but who do you want, a force that can be there helping within 24hrs or one that takes 5 days?

[upabittoolate]

The assumption of things being "washed away" is troublesome because it looks like you missed my overall point: be prepared instead of waiting for someone else to solve your problems. Yes, FEMA is a big gov't money pit. BUT the idea of FEMA is actually built on good intentions.

I agree that the Nat'L Guard would've been more efficient than FEMA. But ultimately, the citizens themselves should've had some kind of contingency plans too.

[upabittoolate]

It kinda sounds like you're saying "don't try to be ready for yourselves Americans because we'll just send in a war machine to carry out humanitarian missions."

If so, we don't see eye to eye.

[WilliamTheFloydian]

1:22-1:18

Day=Made

[Issypt]

way to make light of serious issues cenk brilliant again but glenn beck is a wack job though so dont focus on the issues focus on the fact glenn beck is nut....

[dinobrya]

@Issypt You have a good sized run on sentence, my friend. Break it up so that your sentiment can be easily understood. I agree that Cenk did make light of a serious issue. Nevertheless, I must maintain that Beck is well beyond the bounds of reason.

[ValyTraveler]

I would prefer the jumper cables, power tools and step ladder - I see them as practicle. These usefull items are what I would buy myself. I like the fancy lingeries, too. But that won't get anything off the top shelf or start a car or fix the furniture that comes with the label "some assembly required"

[affordnoshoes]

For a kid, get the toys they asked for.

For a man (a real one, I mean), get something that goes boom, like a main battle tank for example, and/or some hardcore sex. While most of us would be satisfied with just the hardcore sex, the more manly will insist on both and the super-manly will want both at the same time.

For a female, give them whatever they vaguely and sporadically hinted at during times when you were most immersed in something else, like taxes, the game on TV and video games.

[nilbud]

What a faggot you are.

[affordnoshoes]

And if I am? What is it to you?

[affordnoshoes]

Sides, I can't be a fag, I fucked you mom.

[affordnoshoes]

*your*

[nilbud]

No, it's "you're".

[affordnoshoes]

Ahahaha!!! Full of fucking FAIL!!! Fuckin' dumb ass! It's your.

You're = you+are. Goddamn you're a dumb shit!

I'd rather be a fag than a retard who was so stupid they used him as a spare tire on the short bus! Nilbud... Yep, I should have known better than to assume you had half a brain.

[nilbud]

Oh you're so stupid, you retarded joke.

[themisfit6662]

its your not you're couse you're would mean you are xD

[nilbud]

Well that's obvious.

[nilbud]

That's true son, now go upstairs and choke your father's chicken.

[GreenKaya420]

I got a really cool set of jumper cables that you can charge your battery through your cig. lighter!! Lame maybe but it will come in handy I'm always leaving my lights on!!

I got a folding table to maybe also a lame gift but that I asked for so I'm happy!!

[MissNophi2U]

i think a fire extinguisher GIFT would be AWESOME!

[lisa89]

Surly these are things you should buy for people anyway?

Christmas is for useless gifts

[hectorleon]

I didn't get the "wah wah wah, debbie schlussel" joke.

[SupermarketZombies]

Look up Debbie Schlussel on youtube.  She has a strange voice that TYT and TYT viewers pick on her for. Look at the comments on her videos and you'll see a ton of wah wah wah debbie schlussel

[upabittoolate]

Schwang wang wang.

[krakhaid]

Debbie Schussel is a horrible woman with an extremely amusing face and voice.

[upabittoolate]

Schwang wang wang.

[halcyon0830]

Seriously would there have been any difference if America chose GOP's McCain/Palin over GOP's Obama/Biden ??

Just look at the record of broken promises, blatant violations of the Constitution & law that Bankers Puppet Neocon/Zionist/War Slave Obama the Bush Clone has done since January 2009.

It's the SAME Bush NIGHTMARE over & over again, From Now, Are ALL Puppet US Presidents going to be just another Neocon/Zionist/Corporate/War/L obbyist Puppet & EXACT CLONES of Bush until End of Humanity??

[halcyon0830]

Obama is Dick Cheney 3, Obama is Karl Rove 3.

VP Rahm Emanuel is Dick Cheney 3, Rahm is Karl Rove 3.

Obama, Cheney, Rove and Emanuel are ALL FULLY Owned by Corporations, Israel, War Industry and Neocons and ALL of them use their brains for complete Evil intentions and to kill people and destroy everything inside and outside America without end.

Bush just wanted to be left alone and cut brush and play golf, he was brainless, the last 8 years we had President Cheney and Vice President Karl Rove.

[Wiiowner]

my uncle gave my grandma jumper cables.

[surmon11]

i cud seeing giving these gifts as like family gifts one family to another--

[phantomofmyopera]

Yeah it's stupid to buy something that could be of some help during an emergency, you should buy worthless crap instead.

[Panchoroy]

Give me Debbie and I'll have some fun.

[ZerqTM]

lol its funny how many people swang wang wang debi shlusos channel X3

[foehunter123]

maybe not good christmas gifts but it is a really good idea to prepare for the unexpected.

[dangerouslytalented]

I dont get the debbie schlussel reference...

Personally, I would find a stepladder to be an ideal gift, exactly what I need, because my table is not tall enough, and I need to change the flourescent tube in here.

[Voodooray007]

Guess what....

Who give a fuck about Cheney?!

[Lazermatt]

Schwangwangwanngg, Merry Schlussmass.

[angelwolf333]

they may not seem like good gifts but if you give them to a person or family member who doesnt have them or doesnt think to get them. it i a good gift for an adult who doesnt have them.

i promise you if your kitchen is on fire you would think that is the best gift ever if you can stop it as a kitchen fire and not a burnt out house with 4 charred bodies in it

[dangerouslytalented]

I dont want to wait for christmas for a fire extinguisher...

But Christmas is the ABSOUTE PERFECT TIME for fire extinguishers. you have candles, cheapass christmas lights on flammable trees, if you are in the Northern hemisphere you have roaring fires, in Australia you have very hot weather that cause things to overheat and burn out... I can think of NOTHING more practical.

Of course, "practical" is not what you want in a christmas present.

[spazfox]

I NEVER want to unwrap a box of Debbie Schlussel.

[dangerouslytalented]

Who is Debbie Schlussel?

[mugen18]

Ana's Hot!

[dangerouslytalented]

you only noticed now?

[mynameisbobtoo]

they also told us to duct tape ourselves into a room with plastic sheets...how you are supposed to breath after sealing yourself in a room is left up to you to figure out.....

[dangerouslytalented]

People have died because of this advice and the Cheney regime of keeping everybody scared.

[mynameisbobtoo]

Anyone who died by taping themselves into a room is not really a person we want to pass on their genes now anyway....

[dangerouslytalented]

So Dick Cheney was only looking after the genepool?

Same with allowing certain people the ability to own as many guns as they want?

[mynameisbobtoo]

@dangerouslytalented I own a few guns but no more than I could fire at any one time.

I do however agree there should be an IQ test for gun owners. I'm a small arms instructor and it seems to me a great many people would be better served by eating lead paint chips.

As for Cheney the only person he is looking out for is Cheney...

But seriously anyone who tapes themselves into a room has obviously no idea what lungs are for...

[dangerouslytalented]

Dick Cheney would not look out for anybody else even if they walked out in front of his shotgun.

[mynameisbobtoo]

@dangerouslytalented yes I just said that....

[dangerouslytalented]

but I said it better....

mmmm lead paint chips. Ooh salt and vinegar mmmmm

[mynameisbobtoo]

@dangerouslytalented Yes I guess you did...

no need to add salt or vinegar to paint chips they are salty as is...

Did you come up with a "cool sign off line" for the ends of your vids yet?

Where in Australia are you? I've been to Perth,and Melbourne. The folks in Melbourne liked to hang toy Koalas up in the trees with sunglasses and "Walkmen" to fool the tourists into thinking the Koalas liked listening to music, and disliked the sun...

[dangerouslytalented]

That IS my cool sign off line. It is a LIE.

Do not tell anybody, and I will not tell you that you were fooled by the koalas wearing sunglasses.

I am in Melbourne.

[mynameisbobtoo]

@dangerouslytalented If you ever run into Andrea Beeson tell her I love her....

[dangerouslytalented]

I will see what I can do.

[mynameisbobtoo]

@dangerouslytalented You're good man. I enjoyed the conversation, time to walk the dog and hit the gym....

See you around the non religious water cooler.

Bob

[2catsonboat]

A few years back I gave my dad a fire extinguisher for Christmas. He never liked or used what ever I got him before. I said I got him the perfect present  it was something I hoped he never used. I mounted it in the kitchen away from the stove that day. He never had a conflagration or used it. Perfect. Every home should have at least one. But, dont get one for your wife and call it a present bad idea.

[splein23]

A booster seat hotdog!!!!

[blingbling65943]

I can't wait for the FEMA camps, I need a vacation.

[theporksicle]

Buy a fire extinguisher, no-one can argue its a bad idea, just not as a Christmas present.

Although you could have rather a lot of fun with a fire extinguisher, particularly a foam one, so maybe it wouldn't be such a bad gift after all?

[dangerouslytalented]

Get me a fire extinguisher/ office chair package...

[mariobeans]

haha debbie schussel

[UltimoLatino]

How do you wrap a fire extinguisher without people knowing what it is before they unwrap it.?

[gellerstudent]

box. better yet, a gift bag for wine. what a bad surprise that would be!

[VincentPhil]

How about putting it in a box?

[Voodooray007]

@UltimoLatino put a box in it?

[TheMia168]

I got the feeling that whoever gives fire extinguisher as a gift won't worry about the wrapping too much...

[TOPWATER187]

Just tell her you got the extinguisher for her because she is so hot. That will work .....lol

[megamarsvin]

Most of my cousins would go mental if I gave them a fire-extinguisher for Christmas, they'd love it :D

[Saaduk92]

Now I know what to get my future children on their Birth days!

Thanks, FEMA!

[wdgeo]

What about a SHINY step-ladder?

[LorentJovet]

It sounded like shes aws gona say "Oh, it's a big dick !"

[Heine7777]

Its funny cuz FEMA sometimes reminds me a lot of myself.

I too have good intentions, and think up plans that sound smart in my own head. But once I actually try and apply them, I too sound like a drunken retard. XD

[jotunobsidianeyes]

I'd be happy to get a fire extinguisher. Did they imply any exclusivity to them?

[Mojo7423]

People should have these things already, why the hell would you give them for Christmas? Houses should already have fire extinguishers in them as well as fire/carbon monoxide detectors, as for a step ladder, just pick one up when ya can, yeah it may be thoughtful that you think about your family and friends safety but those things aren't meant for as gifts though.

[MrBlamemeforit]

She is sooooo haaawt!

[TheMia168]

Fire extinguisher and step ladders are typical gifts from uncles...

I told my uncles that I prefer cash and that's what they give me every Christmas. They like the idea too, it's easier for them, cus they don't have to go shopping.

[varishnakov]

my uncle is a fire extinguisher, and he gives us step ladders every year!

[sportangelo]

is it just me or does Cenk's hair seem thinner every episode?

[1000Demons]

I didn't actually get ANYTHING for Christmas, and I STILL prefer that to someone giving me a fire extinguisher.

[Richardgwm]

Fire Extinguishers are a GREAT gift idea.

If you love someone, you want to keep them safe. If they don't have a fire extinguisher, this gift shows a great level of care and thought about them.

[carezee]

My husband gave me a carbon monoxide detector for my birthday one year. I wasn't real happy about it until several weeks later when I read in the news about a family over come by it and dying. He didn't want me to die, he loves me just that much. Lol.

[sevendueceoffsuit]

The little picture next to The Young Turks logo, is that Ron Jeremy?

[mynameisbobtoo]

I was wondering that too....

[funnycatsvid]

Ana looks awesome in this video!

[PhoenixFirewolf]

My dad's girlfriend's mom gave everyone fire extinguishers for Christmas. ._.

[sheeeesh1]

With a stereo of surround-sound Schwaaaang waaaaaang

[sheeeesh1]

The Debbie Schlussel DVD series !

[xandras1111]

Fema camps do exist in legislature and can be built in a few days in case of an emergency

[dangerouslytalented]

FEMA camps are a GOOD thing. FAR better than, say, what happened at the Superdome...

[Leadman1989]

a gift of debbie schlussel wouldn't be much of a surprise because you wouldn't be able to get her to shut the hell up

[captcrais101]

I thought Obama was suppose to fix FEMA. Make it a cabinet position again and everything.

[JosephCheetah]

For Christmas I would like to have Ana wearing only a big red ribbon around her waist. :-D

[Established00Me]

I need a fire exstinguisher but I wouldn't be happy if I got one as a gift. I'll buy the household things for myself, realitives can just buy me something nice.

[alizee2010]

The title of this should be "FEMA dishes up a box of Debbie Schlussel."

[connberkshire]

Schwang Wang WANG!!! Debbie Schlussel!!! A whole box of the bitch!!!

[DeadKennedysNirvana8]

After they fucked up in New Orleans FEMA should just keep quite.

[klard]

I want a box of Debbie Schlussel. I would use it to beat some sense into the thick skulls of some of our so called leaders.

[dangerouslytalented]

Who is debbie schlussel?

[klard]

dangerouslytalented :  watch?v=2oie0ph8gRA

[dangerouslytalented]

ow. I should never have asked.

My face and my palm both hurt.

[mynameisbobtoo]

@dangerouslytalented ahhh you went and watch Debbie didn't you? scwang wang wang Debbie Schlussel....did you see everyone posted that under all of her videos?

Too funny.

[dangerouslytalented]

I now know what to do with Debbie Schlussel...

It involves a stepladder and a fire extinguisher.

To reveal what that would be would ruin the surprise.

[upabittoolate]

That's tantamount to hitting someone with synthetic cotton. No punchlines.  I'm serious. She's THAT frail.

[hollywoodartchick]

FEMA gave out the phone number of the radio station where I worked as the transportation number during Hurricane Katrina. I kept getting all these calls wanting a ride to Michigan, and I said, "Did you know this is a radio station?" They said, "this is the number FEMA is giving out." So I am not surprised that they gave wanky ideas for gifts. They are not the most effective government agency at this point, and they really need to be.

[andiconda3]

shwang wang wang!

[BlueOceanBelow]

I'd love to get a fire extinguisher for Christmas. It could end up being the best gift ever. I think it's time to replace the one I have anyway.

[DrakeMagnum]

I too would appreciate a step ladder or fire extinguisher for a gift. I guess I'm unreasonably practical?

[dafttool]

Hey, I like practical gifts. But then again, maybe that's why I'm still single. :-/

[weepingforbrunnhilde]

Ana, you're *hilarious!* "A box of Debbie Schlussel!" Omg, that's absolutely brilliant! Ha ha ha hah ah ah!!

[C2apostle]

Those items might be crappy gifts from a husband or wife. But to or from anybody else would be great gifts.

[WellIAMScottish]

I don't doubt that FEMA is looking forward to people being locked up.Tens of thousands of "illegals" are already locked up as you read this. This atrocity may not be coming to your doorstep in the next few months, but it has already arrived on the doorsteps of hundreds of thousands of human beings and their families. It's time to stop ignoring these victims and start worrying about ourselves being made victims of this completely unjust system.

[305BallerEJ]

ana would make a really good pornstar. she really does have the look

[stefminus]

so what's fema planning?

"we told you to buy this shit!"

[kthorn612]

I have a great gift idea for you Ana...it is as long and as round as a fire extinguisher, but it is only to put out your desirous fire down below.

[Feilongy]

xDDDDD

[choopdewoot]

i wouldnt mind any of that. but then again i own my own home. giving your kids stuff like that is terible

[howthefagworks]

my uncle is a firefighter and he gives us fire extingushers every year

[azmexican]

ana <3

[kaisudo]

God that looks just like Ron Jeremy in your thumbnail picture.

[fashizzle]

(clears throat) Echemm... FIIIIIIIIIIRRSSSSTTTT LOLZ ROFLCOPTYER!!!!@$@#%
