  • My respect for Terry Jones has deminished, he's my favourite Python but this is a bit wrong.

  • As Ana says "do whatever you want, as long as you feel you're getting the most out of life, even if you're hurting someone". So, how selfish is the ex-wife for wanting to stop him from having love in his life, and his partner for having a relationship with a man whom she respects and loves?

    ps. I find it amusing that Ana resorted to personal insults there, too.

    Well done Cenk, you may be a dick but I've heard that some women like dicks.

  • How wrong can Cenk get with only four minutes? The man would have been getting more out of life if he had found a woman he cared about instead of thinking with his old wrinkly dick.

  • Gotta go with Ana on this one.

  • I agree with Ana.

  • Wow, Cenk is definitely being ridiculous here. Normally I like him and agree with what he says, but here, he is really spewing some crazy bull.

  • she looks ht from the side

  • damn, it would rock to have a Monty Python star for a dad

  • CENT President 2012!

  • I like Cenk but I disagree with him here

  • no! he is going to live for ever!

    i refuse to let such a funny guy die!

    Grrrr!

    enught with all the dying authors!

    Doglas adams was bad enught!

    I got to get going on my wearable computer so i can start programming my emtpatic symbio AI...

    When a person dies thats a library burning.. i've had enught of all these valuable libearies burning at least a portion of them must be preserved!

  • god cenk is a fucking moron in this I-talian its one word idiot italian, i love young turks but i hate when he says stupid shit

  • I think it's hilarious.

  • Yeah but you forget Terry Jones is pretty wealthy, so the kid is gonna have a good future even if Terry kicks the bucket soon.

  • The kid will be set for life, it's a non-issue.

    When Jones dies, the young mother will have his heir and his money and the freedom to find someone her age. Or else she'll move in on Eric Idle.

  • cenk is a moron

  • anna's not having any of it lol

  • And I'm totally with her; I like to give Cenk a lot of slack because even if he's being a bit ridiculous, he owns to it and I typically agree with him.  And I really like Terry Jones, so...on this, I really can't see where Cenk's coming from.

  • Easy cash for her.

  • Cenk, not that you'll read this comment or care even if you do, but I can no longer respect you if you take a position like that. It might have been better if you had justified it by the fact that at least the kid will be well off money wise, but "you're gonna die" is no excuse to forget about the consequences of your actions.

  • 3:03 she is right. enough humans on the planet too.

  • here is some very valuable advice, wear a rubber

  • if i were that guy id be fucking young chicks all the time, intead of staying with a whiny complaining old woman.

  • Why is this a story?

  • AWESOME!

  • lmao cenk..you always pronounce Italian as EYEtalian lol

  • Thank fuck it wasn't Michael Palin. I was scared for a minute there

  • Actually, they make a fine looking couple. He's old, and she's ugly with a capitol "U".

  • Did Jones divorce his wife and then hook up with this girl awhile later? If so I don't see the harm.

  • Cenk, there could have been a kid with a better father instead of a kid born to a father that's more like a great grandfather. Some different, better situated kid could exist instead, so of course the kid is hurt.

  • ha yeah its true , i forgot the video title but he explains it there. weird shit

  • i cant even look at cenk the same after knowing about that hooker giving him a blow job in front of her husband or whatever, he thinks tori spelling is giving too much information? yeah. . that makes sense

  • woah woah woah, explain this please lol. Is that true?

  • argh.....when he was 46 she was a baby, thats weird...

  • -.- that was something out of the ministry of silly comments, with cenks logic you can free parents from any responsibility whatsoever, go ahead, sell your kid or just let it starve, wouldnt be on the world without you anyway, can thank you for the few years it had, right?

    how bad fucking around is depends entirely on the relationship, but if the wife begrudges you getting a 26 year old at this age how much does she really love you ;P

  • cenk is exactly right. exactly right. you are a man of reason, cenk. and it shows. reason is callous. thats just the way it is. ana, i completely sympathize, but your response is emotive.

  • Agree! also shows the direct differences between male and female. Males are reason and logic based(mostly) and females are emotional(mostly). Hence, "why do you stay with your abusive boyfriend? Because I love him"

    "So why did you leave your girlfriend? She was a pain in the ass"

  • eh, i dont know about that. women can be pretty cold too. lol.

  • If he survives long enough, he will be 96 at the high school graduation

  • what a bitch

  • I love how Dave and Jesus are just back there like, "there's a show goin' on?...is Cenk talkin'?"

  • How is he selfish? Why doesn't she put any of the blame on the woman? It takes two to tango, don't just turn it on the fucking old man. That's just sexist.

  • she will get paid and the kid will be very well off

  • first time i've disagreed with cenk

  • Cenk is totally right! Yeah its not like it isnt fucked up on allot of levels..................BUT YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE MAN.........AND IF YOUR GONNA DIE SOON....ITS PRETTY MUCH A FREE FOR ALL.

  • Yeah you right.

    If I have few days to live I would smoke pot and drink lot of alchole and all doing all the crazy stuff.

    but not bringing a child into the world that I am going to leave. Thats so ..not cool.

  • Yeah I feel you but how do we know he even meant to have that kid..........he is old with bad reflexes... maybe he didn't pull out in time......i have a feeling that kid was a total accident.

  • Why does Anna think he's hurting people. She's 26, she can f*ck whoever she wants.

  • instead of being schmoopie mah poopie.

  • Monty Python is overrated. Always was

  • and pretty much every sketch show/half of contemporary comedians who were influenced by python are overrated too?

  • Anna: "Its selfish"

    So what's your point?

  • I mean the 26 afree with the 67 in the first place. I would let it go.

  • hahahaha "cry me a river kid"

  • I have a new hero

  • When a guy is 67 going out with a 26 year old... she cna't bitch if she gets prego. I mean seriously... HE'S NEARLY THREE TIMES YOUR AGE WTF!?

    Seriously when you know the end of your life span, you can essentially do 1 of 2 things.

    1. Try to fight it and end up dying anyway (eventually)

    2. Accept it and make the best out of life, while you still have it since you're going to die anyway.

    He has 3 years left, That may sound like a lot, but then again he could have a heart before that even.

  • Cenk was talking shit for some of this video, seemed very out of character.

    Sure, fuck the shit out of as many birds as you want. But don't get em pregnant when your life is towards it's end - that's immoral. Just coz you're going to die doesn't mean you drop your moral standards.

    Cenk said he puts himself in the "aggrevied person's situation" - that'd be the fatherless child, not the 67 yr old ex-monty python star who has probably lived a great life.

    I'm taking this too seriously, aren't I?

  • No mate, you're dead right.

  • GO CENK

  • i agree with him.

    knock up sum hoes!

  • its true its true!

  • that guy was keeping it real man

  • Don't forget to wrap it up kids! LOL

  • im with anna, cenk jesus after that golden story the ball hit your shoe and rolled across the gym i cant imagine what the fuck after all that time i mean if he wasnt really into her im sure hes had enough fame to bail and land on his feet so what the hell is this and a fucking paycheck isnt a substitute for a dad kids gonna miss out

  • hahahaha cenk i got yah man, i got yah

  • LOL i wouldnt call them bitches but.... ya

  • this whole video was basically cenk digging himself deeper into shit

  • PURE BULL CENK

  • right on guy from monty python.

  • The ways people bond is fairly mysterious i'd say. It's really sad when people hurt one another regularly. Too much exposure to dysfunctional relationships is a bad deal. If the person were a plant, you could hope for a good gardener to be the parent.

  • I don't know if this is /that/ controversial really.. It kind of depends, did he dump his wife specifically to start dating a 20 yo and knock her up? That would be kind of nasty. But if they were breaking up anyway.. Well then more power to him.

  • Well the people blaming him seems to act as if he raped this girl, he didn't she chose as much as he did, I agree it's not the perfect way to bring in a child but I don't think you can blame just one of them, you can say that atleast one of them should have been wise enough to not let this happen, but I've learned not to expect a lot from people, especially not celebreties(I'm a big fan of Monty Python btw.)

  • and extreme act of selfishness he is 67 with cancer what a hell of a way to greet your kid "hey im your dad by the way im 67 yrs old with bowel cancer and i might die before your old enough to remember me."

  • how many black fathers are there out there, that left their family/children? millions, how many videos have you made about them? zero

    but one fat old guy who hasnt made anyone laugh since 1983 gets a bitch pregnant, and you guys are all over it complaining that he's "irresponsible".

    fucking hypocrites.

  • But black men are "expected" to act that way..didn't you know that. ( that was sarcasm btw)

  • hypocrite would be if TYT said its was OKAY for black people to do this and then turn around and condemn this guy for doing it.

    YOU FAIL!!!

  • Okay then, if you prefer the term moral coward instead of hypocrite, that's fine. But ignoring such a huge problem like that is almost as good approving of it.

  • ok i guess u want to obsess about black people/black fathers and how they somehow have something in common with this rich old british man with a terminal disease getting a young oxford student knocked up.

    LOL i fail to see the connection. take a look at the socio-economic differences here...they have NOTHING in common.

  • Fuck off retard. What evidence do you have that I'm obsessed with anything? Get the fuck out of my face

  • Dude you're pretty stupid if you think this is about race. This is just a really famous dude that's why the story is about him. You know how many stories they've done on black assholes like Chris Brown for example? But no they're not going to report on some random black guy for abandoning his family obviously.

    Besides in case you weren't paying attention (which clearly you weren't) Cenk was on his side. Time to take your foot out of your mouth maybe?

  • "But no they're not going to report on some random black guy for abandoning his family obviously."

    So, "boring, ordinary" people are allowed to be immoral and careless, and famous people aren't? That's a pretty stupid set of values for you media-whore liberal smartasses to lay down... Who the hell would want to be famous under those terms? Nobody. And when there are no more famous people, who would these sub-Beavis and Butthead, inane mockers have to talk about? Nobody.

  • Are you serious dude? Maybe you should read back your comments before you post em because clearly you have no idea how news works. And how in gods name is this about values or liberals?

    Next time when you get angry, take a deep breath, think long and hard about what you actually want to say and they go do something else. Clearly you couldn't make a point to save your life.

  • You want to talk about "making points"? Haha!

    I pointed out TYT's moral cowardice and selective bashing of people for their "wrongs", and all you can counter with is "dude, this isn't about that! Don't bring that up! This isn't what we're talking about!"

    You call that a point? No, it's just you being complete;y absurd. These issues don't exist within comfortable, convenient, separate vaccuums. They all exist in one world you fucking simpleton.

  • You're either an idiot or a troll and either way I'm not going to bother arguing with you :)

  • That's a pitiful copout. Troll is just yet another bullshit buzzword you liberals use when you've run out of ideas.

    You asked me questions like "What's this got to do with liberals and values"? Um, we're talking about a video on an extremely liberal Youtube channel? And it's about values because the girl is saying Terry Jones is irresponsible.

    You're the idiot, asking such stupid obvious questions like that. Now fuck off andgo jerk off to your animes, poor fool.

  • You do seem incredibly unpleasant, though. Troll or not.

  • "Ordinary" people aren't in the limelight like celerbrities are, are they?

  • No, they aren't. That's a very very astute observation from you. How amazingly perceptive you are.

    However, I fail to see how that observation (incredible as it is) excuses them from morality.

  • What are you talking about?Did somebody say it was o.k. for black fathers to leave their kids in this tyt segment?and by the way they do many negative stories about black people, where have you been?

  • oh Im sorry I didn't notice them because all TYT's videos seem to be whining about Republican "hypocrisy" (despite how Republicans arent even in the white house any more), and whining about something Bush did in 2002 or whatever. Barack Obama's been in power 4 months now.... maybe you guys can stop whining about the past and start talking about the present?

  • These stories are about the present with a liberal slant as you said, the lower budget, internet opposite of fox news.

  • By the way whining seems to be the only thing conservatives have been doing lately. If you follow that sort of thing.

  • Chenk is right, why get hurt by that?

  • I am with Ana: "I just think he is extremely selfish."

    Cenk: "You want to get the most out of life."

    The question is how to get the most out of life. I think Cenk is focusing too much on the rewards of fun and entertainment, and not enough on the rewards of loyalty and satisfaction. Who would ever marry someone in the first place like Cenk, if you knew he was always looking for the "no holds barred" moment to break away?

  • lol, you twos are great.

  • Sweet, I got a new philosophy on life.

    Gonna die so knock up a bunch of bitches!!

  • im with cenk that kid is going to be set up 4 life im sure , she will have the kid to remind her of him forever as well not a bad legacy

  • The kid will be fine, he'll have a smart mom and a large inheritance.

  • You got to grab the moment...

    What if he really likes this girl and decided to ignore her and then died wondering if he could have had a great time with her.

    Ad to that the girl in question isnt some bimbo and in her late 20's isnt nieve. They both know what they were getting into.

    I'm with Cenk!

  • ana is haaaawt

  • Bang it, old man. Cenk thinks like me.

  • Whoopdi doo I didn't have a father figure in my life and I'm fine. Ana's opinions seem a bit too traditional, I say abort.

  • Jones was always my least favorite Python and now he's REALLY my least favorite Python.

  • I'm with Ana on this one. I'll assume that the kid will be in good financial standing but still...

    Was there an effort to use contraceptives?

    67 on 26? Are there girls out there like that? Maybe it starts out as a curiosity thing. That's great though. Nothing wrong with two responsible adults hooking up at any age difference they deem suitable.

  • dude you are saying some dum as shit right now. you don't get old and leave your wife.

  • and why is this "news"?

  • Cenk is insane. I'm with Ana on this one.

  • good chance the kid will be autistic with his old weak sauce sperm.

  • ok so to consenting adults had a relationship and she got pregnant, exactly how is this a problem?

  • Im 26 and im already at no holds barred.

  • Anna wins this one.

  • Morality is based on social need not natural forces. Guilt is just a social weapon. Once you are close to death only the truth of now exists. Everyone should live this way always. He made his choice and the woman made hers which is end of story and it isnt anyones buisness what they do with there lives.

  • HAHAHA!! I Like the way Cenk Thinks.

  • ANNA is 100% right, and any young girl who wants to go with a old selfish dude is a BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!

  • how the fuck am i jelous, im 6'3 and fit and im heading to 6'5 and i look great, i have respect for my self, you finerbiner are a failure

  • Hey stumpy. Me thinks thou dost protest too much

  • Is he saying that morality doesnt apply to you when you reach a certain age? Or that morality is more lax when you reach a certain age?

  • which morality exactly?

    How many years do you have to be expected to live, to be morraly OK to get a child?

  • anas pisssssssed.

    Or on the rag.

    you choose

    Child will be rich, and girl will find another man. Dooowit

  • lolololololololololol

  • anna totally called him out on this.

  • is this a radio station someone please tell me

  • HAHAHAHA

    "You're going to die, so knock up a bunch of bitches and it's all good."

    "....I wouldn't call them bitches... but yea."

    LOL, TYT classic.

  • Cenk is wrong here I think. He doesn't show any sense of honor when it comes to these topics.

  • i think he's just trying to be funny. no way he really believes that shit

  • Who cares? Really? Is this something people care about?

  • I don't think it's a good idea to have a kid you won't be there for.He should stay married and just screw around with a hot thing - let's face it men are only as monogamous as their options and this guy is rich.

  • Double standards from Cenk again. He was shitting bricks about Hogan's wife and her young lover.

  • On the one hand, he's "passing up a chance" at a hot 26 year-old girl. On the other hand, he's "passing up a chance" to grow old & die with his DIGNITY intact.

    So Cenk... if a black teen-dad abandoned his kid(s) because he didn't want to "pass up a chance" at some hot new bitches, you'd be all over him about "the responsibilities of fatherhood".

    But this guy does EXACTLY the same thing (conceiving a kid he has no intention of fathering), & you think it's OK because he's OLD?

    Whatever...

  • i thought because he has cancer and will definetly die in the next 3 years or something...

  • I think you missed Cenk's point. The reason the teen-dad example isn't the same is because the old guy is going to die soon... he is on his way out. A teen-dad has his whole life ahead of him and will be alive for the most part of the kids life.

    I guess the difference is that he wouldn't be leaving the kid because he is irresponsible... he would be leaving the kid because he will be dead.

    My father is kind of in the same boat, he is 50 and just had a kid with a 32 yr old.

  • funnyrico "...My father is in the same boat he is 50 & just had a kid"

    Your father is not in the same boat with Jones. With luck, your dad can live another 40 or 50 years. His new kid would be an adult before your dad passed on. Jones has got three years left, tops.

    At 50, a man can make reasonable plans for the future, but a 67 year-old with TERMINAL cancer? Come on, he should have more sense than that.

  • A RICH 67 year-old. And if the girls went to Oxford, she's not from the poorhouse either.

  • wimscheers "A RICH 67 year-old"

    All the money in the world does not replace a parent. Just ask Princes William & Harry. I'd bet they'd trade it all in to have their mom back, don't you agree?

    Leaving the kid with a BANK ACCOUNT is not exactly a shining example of Fatherhood. In fact, it shows a great deal of misunderstanding and lack of respect for the role fathers play in their child's life.

  • i'm a kid of divorce. dad got married again and had two more kids. trust me on this, i'd take the god damn bank account

  • funnyrico "Jones'll die soon..A teen-dad will not..so he won't leave a kid because he's irresponsible..he will leave a kid because he's dead.."

    No. Both the teen deadbeat & Jones have NO intention of being fathers when the kid's conceived. That's reckless, period

    Just because Jones'll "skip out" by dying doesn't mean it's OK for him to be irresponsible

    eg: If you knew you'd die in a year, would it be OK to sign a 20-year loan for $1000000? OF COURSE NOT. So how is this any different?

  • Your examples are so extreme... let's try and put things back into a more realistic scenario.

    A teen deadbeat father is much worse than Jones. Like you said, a deadbeat father has no intention of being a father for the kid, but you can't say the same thing about a man who can't help to die. A deadbeat teen is escaping responsibility to live a different life, be it to get other "bitches" or whatever. A man dying, doesn't have a choice... he isn't leaving because he doesn't want to be a dad.

  • "eg: If you knew you'd die in a year, would it be OK to sign a 20-year loan for $1000000? OF COURSE NOT. So how is this any different? "

    It is different... boarding apples vs oranges, haha.

    In Jones's case, the child will be raised by his mother... so I guess to use your example the "debt" would continue to be paid.

    Now your arguement may be the quality of "payment" may not be the same. But I know plenty of women who are single parents and they make it work.... and yes money 100% helps.

  • funnyrico "In Jones's case, the child will be raised by his mother... so I guess to use your example the "debt" would continue to be paid"

    Ah, so by your logic, I can take out a 20-year mortage on my house & then skip town without paying it. But according to you, that's OK because my wife will still by around to pay off my obligations...

    This has nothing to do with the abilities of single moms. It has everything to do with the importance of fathers in a child's life

  • pudgimelon, I think the overall message you are missing is that no one is saying that Jones's situation is ideal, but it isn't horrible either.

    It's not fair to assume that there will be an "absence of a positive male role model" in that childs life after Jones dies. The mother is very young... she could remarry, have relatives help influence the child like uncles, etc.

    You're just seeing this as a very "half empty" kind of situation, vs others who are seeing it "half full".

  • funnyrico "and yes money 100% helps."

    You and Jones think that a bank account is a substitute for a father, but I don't.

    I think Dads do a bit more than just pay bills

    Many of society's ills, from crime in black neighborhoods to violence in our schools, can be directly linked to the abscence of positive male role models and the devaluing of fatherhood in our culture

    Cenk's reaction to Jones' irresponsibility is a perfect example of how people think Dads don't matter

  • Once again your examples are so over the top.

    First off, your original example wasn't if it was ok if you got a mortgage and "skip town", it was if you got a mortgage and died. Big difference and I think you know it.

    Money does help. That isn't even a debate... be it for food, shelter, school, day care,... money helps every parent. You seem to translate help into an "exact substitution", which no one claimed. It helps parents give their children a better life.

  • funnyrico "...your example wasn't if it was ok if you got a mortgage and "skip town", it was if you got a mortgage and died. Big difference and I think you know it"

    If he sticks his wife with a 20-year mortage, knowing he's going to die in 3 years, that's morally as crappy as sticking her with a 20-year mortage and then skipping town. It's the same thing

    So, how is sticking her with 18 years of single-parenting any different? Sure, she can remarry, but that doesn't change HIS irresponsibility

  • Step back and look at those examples. If someone gets a mortgage with his wife and skips town, he is still "able" to take care of that responsibility, but is choosing not to. In Jones's case, he will be dead... he couldn't help even if he wanted to.

    Step back and look at this situation. Unlike applying for a mortgage, this probably wasn't planned (I may be wrong). If it was, the mother knew what she was getting into, if it wasn't then you have to make the best of it.

  • The fact that he can't take care of his responsibility because he's dead does not excuse knowingly taking on a responsibility he never intends to meet.

    As for whether or not its planned, I'd expect a teenager to get his girlfriend "in trouble", but at his age? Come on. There's no excuse for it. Heck, he probably should have gotten a vasectemy as soon as he found out he had terminal cancer, just to prevent this kind of "accident".

  • Hands down your best comment... though I don't agree 100%... at least you are not continuing those over-the-top examples anymore.

    I can't agree that your first statement applies to this, because you and I can't be sure that he "knowingly" got her pregnant. I doubt either of them wanted to have a baby.

    Should he have gotten a vasectomy? -- I would agree he should have; but he probably didn't think he had any ammo left, haha.

    Can't put it all on him either; remember it takes two to tango.

  • Good for you Terry. The last go around!

  • "you're going to die, so knock up a bunch of bitches and its all good " - Kasparian

    truer words were never spoken.

    5 stars!

  • Sounds good

  • Good job, Terry.

  • Cenk you're SOOOOOOO full of shit!!!!!

  • i think it disgusting. Good Points Ana and Cenk your thinking with the wrong head

  • Jensagirl you mean the Head up his ARSE?!

  • Does everyone nock off at 70 in the States?

    There are people in their 80-90's up here in Canada some even make it to 100.

    He may have 20-30 years left, he can possibly live longer than I've lived so far. So assuming hes peacin out in less than 3 years is kind of retarded.

  • JohnyH1982,

    Terry Jones has bowel cancer. The 3 year diagnoses is actually reasonable.

  • Yeah my bad, I actually realized why they said 3years after I posted the comment hehe, part of being up at 4am in the morning I guess.

  • Even without a father figure, that kid will grow up with the Monty Python mlllions and will have a much better life than many suckers who do have a father around.

  • It's Terry Jones of MONTY PYTHON, one of the most famous comedy groups in history.

    You're saying he didn't get enough young ass in his hey-day? Come on.

    I don't give a shit at all about the little tramp, but it's a little inconsiderate to do his ex-wife that he already cheated on, not to mention the kid he won't be alive to raise.

    Cenk is full of shit here too, and Ana is right, he talks a big talk.

  • It's not like the guy forced her into sex. She had a choice in the matter. If you're 26, and you decide to go out with a 67 year old man, obviously you are taking a high risk of being a single mother. She's obviously educated enough to know how babies are made.

  • According to wikipedia, they have actually been together for 5 years (since she was 19, but thats a diff. story) and TJ is divorced since 2003. So this isn't exactly a fling.

  • I would hope that if you are married to another person for that long you'd be most happy by their side and wouldn't need some piece of meat to screw a couple times before you kick the can. Completely disagree with Cenk.

  • It's gotta be hard to be that old and pass up a nice young piece of ass.. hell I can't even pass it up now!

  • I agree with Cenk.

  • I don't even know who the hell this guy is that they are talking about...

  • Monty Python? Hello ???

  • I agree with Ana. Who says "getting the most out of life" necessarily means picking up someone 40 years younger? Why can't "getting the most out of life" be living with and loving your partner for life, growing old together, going through all the ups and downs, and making it out the other side. To me THAT's getting the most out of life. Look at Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward - that's success!
