  • Those are social spiders, a specific species of spider, not just some spiders that were chased up a tree, come on do some fact checking....

  • I hate clicking on videos and then noticing that it's from the young turks....

  • I really need some of those trees: ITCHING RIGHT NOW, FROM Mosquito BITES !

  • spiders are awesome....

  • Islam: dogs suck, spiders rock.

  • dude I am so high right now XD

  • Ana needs a hug, come here sweetheart!

  • Beautiful~ Spiders know how to design stuff!

  • This is natural selection in a nutshell, BTW, the mosquitos in Canada don't really spread disease, I probably get bitten 45 times in one summer.

  • Modern day vampires = gay vampires.

    Vampire-myth comes from blood-sucking creatures, not the other way 'round.

    A tree like that would freak me out, but I fucking HATE insects, spiders get approved because they kill things like mosquitos.

  • "Will you confuse my love for the cobwebs."

    Ryan Adams & the Cardinals

  • "Confuse my love for the cobwebs."

    Cardinals

  • So many spiders.

  • The koran is not an addition to the torah, it's a different version of it. Christianity, is;am and judaism are essentially all the same religion, except that Jesus is god instead of a prophet in christianity.

  • 2:00

    ...........uhhhh I don't think thats right.....there is a story where King David is running from soldiers and hides in a cave and a spider makes a web in the shape of a Jewish Star/Star of David to protect him. Since the Koran is an addition to the Torah I don't think they would have the same story twice but idk.

  • D: Think of how many spiders are in that tree. Omg it freaks me out just thinking about it.

  • ..... scariest thing? ..... okay then.

  • The Spiders did the same for Jesus when the romans were after him.

  • Ana is one wierd ass bitch.

  • Also Cenk got his facts wrong.

    The spider myth originates from SCOTTISH folklore, where Robert the Bruce was escaping from the English by hiding in a cave that got spun a web around.

    Muhammed (peace be upon him) was a warlord and never ran from anyone.

  • @Ex0dus111 FACTS:

    "Muhammed (Peace be upon him)" --- 570-632 AD

    "Robert the Bruce" ---  1274-1329 AD

  • @Ex0dus111 No, muhammed is a faggot.

  • Sorry Ana u gotta fact check that story.

    Spiders dont make those kind of webs, and changing enviroments does not change their patters.

    Its an insect called Yponomeuta (a type of moth), the creates those kind of "Ghost Trees" once every ten or so years to protect and increase the temperature for its larvae.

    The drop in Malaria probably comes from the flood itself that washed away all the mosquito eggs.

  • Natural selection: Fact.

  • Ana, good points, but you're wrong. Moths are the world's scariest flying creature. They are made of dust, or something, ffs. They're insanely ugly, and if they ever fly near me I assume they're going for my mouth and run like a madman. I found one on the wall whilst showering yesterday, I was watching it like a hawk the entire time, it eventually flew at me and I jumped out of the shower. The stupid fucking moth got caught in the shower though and was washed away. I laughed maniacally.

  • I like turtles.

  • I totally agree with Anna!

    I will take a spider any day.

  • I'm fucking terrified of spiders and those trees scare the shit out me >__<

  • It's things like this that make me question arachnephobia

  • if I see a spider in my house, I smash it against the wall, and leave it there as a message to it's friends that I am not someone with whom to fuck.

  • First place I heard this story--smart, fun, original--that's why I love TYT!

  • mosquitos are older than vampires so technically vampires are modern day mosquitos

  • does it hurt the trees ?? if the trees die then they are worse off then before

  • god, seeing something like that would scare the shit out of me. can you imagine how many spiders would have to be in that tree? going to be having hallucinations of hundreds of damn spiders crawling down from trees....

  • Male mosquitoes drink tree sap. Having every tree rigged with spiders = no more baby mosquitoes. And i bet a good amount of females get stuck in there too trying to get laid.

    Also females only drink blood when pregnant. So this makes a lot of sense.

  • my guess cenk, is that they have a whole lot of other shit on their mind instead of worrying who's gonna take the spiderwebs down...

  • lol@ "Flying dragons can be friendly sometimes."

  • this is why I dont kill spiders in my house

  • @jagexisthedevil If your serious, Bat bombs were a failed experiment by JAPAN

  • @kursk39 Bat bombs were an invention by the US, from what I've read.

  • @StarsShadow I stand corrected, it was created by USA but it wasn't worth the research.

  • I HATE spiders.... but those trees look pretty awesome.

  • I wonder if this will affect the way those trees photosynthesize. Last thing that part of the world needs is less vegetation.

  • @b3rtne I let them live in my house. I had a hunstmen living in the house for six months. I have other web building spiders in the corners of most rooms. I HATE fly spray, so I use the spiders.

  • ME AND SPIDERS IS LIKE THIS SON (throws hand in your face crossing my fingers)

  • I think Cenk is looking too much into it. My guess is that nobody took them down because that shit is CREEPY AS HELL and nobody wants to go near it!!!

  • Puff the magic dragon

  • @ryansvicxX and follow it down teh purple road

  • Spiders are one of the biggest forms of pest control on the planet...they eat SOOOOO many bugs

  • Why would you take the cobwebs down anyway?

    Love spiders

  • i hate mosquitos and spiders but i wouldnt mind buying one of those spider infested trees as long as its planted the far far the fuck away from me and my house.

  • mosquitoes are actually great at spreading pollen.

  • flying dragons can be friendly aaahahahah so fucking true...love you Ana :P

  • Mosquitoes make me want to scream.

  • i hate spiders /:

  • a spider protected Mohammed?

    how old is Peter Parker?

  • @neodarkguy rotfl :D

  • @Silberdach Well its pretty sad that wanting a host who actually brings substance to the show puts me in the "minority". its obvious she was hired for sex appeal plain and simple Cenk isnt an idiot. its obvious she doesnt have a clue or opinion of her own on a majority of the issues she talks about. "mosquitoes are the scariest things in the world" you can tell when its an original thought because its something moronic like that.

  • It's fascinating how nature adapts to circumstances to bring about equilibrium to local ecosystems. Flood happens = increased mosquitoes = increased spiders = less malaria = more humans = humans kill spiders :)

    :P

  • So the webbed trees are super effective i assume? Why else would malaria decrease? Wouldnt that suggest that alot more mosquitoes are getting killed in the webs on the tree opposed to the webs on the ground? I hope the spiders continue to live in trees and this becomes a worldwide adaption to spiders XD

  • this is actually really cool. spiders only attk when u fuck with them which is why im cool with spiders. plus some of them looks badass. mosquitos can go to hell as far as im concerned >.>

  • So mosquito's are scarier than bee's a swam of them can actually kill you.

  • And there goes my sleep for tonight. Why did I even click this?! Ugh! :D

  • i disagree. spiders are more scarier than mosquitos. i can't stand mosquitos either though.

  • haha Cenk while indeed the spider story in the Quran, I don't think anyone revers spiders in the Muslim culture, least not in the Indo-Pak region.

  • I have arachnophobia, so i'm a bit scared by these trees... I always picture a giant spider with it's huge fangs chomping down on a smaller creature, and I can't get it out of my head :(

  • Ana just gets worse and worse and in turn so does TYT. she is a horrible host.

  • @1200pro: Congratulations! Your comment has put you in a miniscule minority of TYT watchers. Why don't you go watch Malkin instead?

  • @1200pro Yeah, Ana is a total moron

  • I think it's just the Bird-cherry Ermine who does that to the trees. 

  • flies are much worse than mosquitoes. they throw up feces wherever they land (usually on your food).

  • Trees shrouded with spider webs, incidences of malaria declined. Case closed, don't touch those trees!!

  • Looks like a scene form The Mist

    but I would hate to meet the mosquitoes those webs are made for.

    much less the spiders that made them.

  • All of the flying creatures.

    ALL OF THEM.

  • My theory? Pakistan is hell.

  • Creepy - reminds me of the movie THE MIST...I hate bugs

  • @rextrek Thats what I thought immediately... 

  • If you build a bat box in your backyard it would do the same thing with your mosquito numbers.

  • Flamethrower plz.

  • HAhAHAHAHA Tim Burton

  • Mosquitos are worse than spiders? I don't about that. Spiders are creepy little things.

  • Cenk needs to stop saying "alright" after every sentence. Bill-O says it all the time and it's really annoying!

  • i think we are the worst things to fly, sure a mosqito might bite, but we drop things like BLU88s, bunker busters and all kinds of things when we fly.

  • correction: FEMALE mosquitos suck your blood

  • @POKEMASTERDAI Actually, males suck blood.

  • @leighlyons2 no, females do it because they need the iron for their babies. Males don't need the iron, so won't suck our blood.

  • dont take them down, there might be mohammed hiding in one of these trees, allah forbid someone might see him

  • Run Ana. Run before the mosquitoes eat you. Lol

  • Fuck mosquitoes, most useless creature in the world

  • Ana is adorable...

  • i tought bats were supposed to be modern day vampires...

  • @XxMzt4RVLCNRYxX there's only 3 species of bat among the thousands out there that live off of the blood of other animals, and they don't feed on humans. so it's not really accurate to label bats as vampires.

  • Those trees are creepy...

  • Spiders aren't holy in Islam, I'm pretty sure no animal is holy in Islam.

  • Spiders are not considered holy in islam .. if they take the trees down they'll have to figure out what to do with the spiders and a politician might be waiting for a financial cut before any work can take place =)

  • Aww Anna, shes so cute. 

  • spider man "new york's superhero" saved Mohammad xD

  • Imagine landing on one of those trees. *shivers*

  • fuck me a web curtain! where do i sign up for that religion

  • I'm more afraid of Bot Flys. Those things are evil. Look them up if you wish to know why.

  • @Warpmek Wow, bot flies are assholes.

  • @KidOmniMan That they are, and they don't even try to hide.

  • @Warpmek Well, at least bot fly larvae only consume/use your flesh and not some other, more vital organ like your brain, eyes or liver, and they're usually easy enough to remove when they're detected. Besides, they use mosquitoes to transport their eggs to prospective hosts. I think mosquitoes are just as bad as bot flies.

  • @roadkill5555556 There are cases where bot fly larvae tunneled to the brain, that usally happens when they get behind your ear.

  • @Warpmek DUDE FUCK BOT FLIES. SCARIEST MOTHER FUCKERS ON THE PLANET.

  • Obviously anna hasnt heard about the fly that lays maggots on mosquitoes and they eat you alive after jumping off.

    Sorry anna, but I think THAT bug is a lot worse. Lol. Maybe both of them.

  • mosquitoes kill more people every year than anything else

  • I thought that spider and cave story was one a bout a scotish king.

  • @HMMcHarp2 Robert The Bruce is the one you're thinking of. Its a similar story though not exactly the same but then again legends/stories get reused and altered so many times it's hard to tell which was first or if it every actually happened. See: en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/­Robert_the_Bruce#Legends

  • those trees are awesome...she went out of her way to rant about mosquitos HAHA

  • far too kool hahah

  • Its great that you have a great knowlege of religion Cenk but I think they just dont take them down because of the malaria bugs all over those webs

  • No us Muslims do not find spiders holy lol wow cenk..

  • @paddisonlove Not all Muslims, no. But as I understand it, some regional variations have some reverence for spiders.

  • @raizumichin really? that's actually kind of awesome :P

  • Maleria in this area <3

  • One of the weirdest things I've run across on the web so far. Amazing.

  • @Boomer1949 LOL that was an EPIC WIN LOL

  • If you looked closely at one of those trees, you would see that it is crawling with billions of spiders.

  • Google "afghanistan spider" for examples of what these spiders look like.

  • @CognosSquare Motherf*ck!! Cenk was wrong, I know why they wont get them out of the trees.

  • mosquitos > fucking spiders

  • Spiders for the win!! I have a spider in my bathroom, he catches bugs and stays in his web. I named him Steve.

  • @FriskyMeerkat Mine was called Pedro ... he lived in my car but he went gay and tried to get it on with me. He left me a nice big hicky that took a few weeks to settle down. So I squashed him, after all, men don't bite other men.

  • Nature is our protector, and yet we keep killing it in the name of globalization.

  • According to certain Native American myth spiritual spiders created the universe with their webs. Just an interesting fact.

  • I don't like spiders or mosquitoes....but I will admit for the very first time...I'm loving those kind of spiders. Stay in the trees and catch mosquitoes and I'm happy. It did freak me out with the pictures, but that's amazing! Let the spiders keep the trees.

  • @595o Hmm... Indeed, indeed. I've not been subjected to horseflies for years. I don't think I'd kill them. They're all chunky and stuff. Grosses me out just thinking about trying to squish'em. =S Just like people who'll step on cockroaches, etc...mean, but also gross! Eww!

  • god, i fucking hate mosquitoes >:[

  • And here i was thinking Spiderman is from America!

  • Ana couldn't be more wrong about this. Mosquitoes are annoying but fucking spiders are pure, concentrated evil

  • Fuuuuuck that tree.

  • I'm so creeped out by this chit! Imagine how many frigen spiders it took to cocoon all those trees. Also, Anna, cccccalm down. LOL

  • @THAT1UMMAH

    Tonight, while you sleep, the same number of spiders will crawl all over you and web you to your bed so you can't move.

  • Hey I wonder if you could cover trees like that with money AND spider webs, and eliminate a good number of bankers and CEOs.

  • "They're modern-day vampires!"

    Why do I watch this show? Why?

  • @StewieSwan ana...boobies...guud.

  • @StewieSwan I watch it just to see the ridiculous comments lol

  • @StewieSwan Because Ana is fucking hot and Cenk is actually 'sticking it to the Man' on a consistent basis...

  • @StewieSwan Because it's awesome

  • My father always says that the sound of a mosquito in your ear at night is more spinechilling than the roar of a lion - one person who agrees with Ana!

  • Anna is Right:

    Worldwide, mosquito-borne diseases kill more people than any other single factor. Mosquitoes can be carriers of malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever in humans. In the United States, mosquitoes spread several types of encephalitis. They also transmit heart worms to cats and dogs.

  • that's the reason why i love spiders so much! they eat everything we hate.. specifically stupid flies! I know they got a purpose too but around the house, eff no! I let spiders roam freely around the house :)))

  • I wanna be in a Tim Burton movie too! :D

    Also, I wonder if they're all the same species of spiders. Do certain species of spiders have a rivalry with other species of spiders? Hmmm.

  • Ana what about vampire bats?

  • @SirFakeName I think he's referencing a Bill O'Riley rant/quote.

  • Wow I learned something new about my religion. I guess I should stop killing the spiders I find in my house.

  • I'm right there with you ana! i'm watching this with one buzzing around my head and im bout to run out of here screaming if it doesnt go away soon x(

  • Great example of how spicies adapt to their new environment. Thats all. Human has the habbit of making up stories about them.

  • Tide goes in, spiders in trees. You can't explain that.

  • @delgado053

    Fuckin miracles

  • godless pinheads cant explain that. cant do it!

  • @delgado053 Thanks Bill.

  • Note that male mosquito feed on nectar. Only the females suck blood.

    That's what u get when women are out of the kitchen.

    /joke!! calm down.

  • It seems nice, but it should be noted that the webs might end up killing the trees as they end up blocking out most of the light.

  • giant cotton candy!!! yum! =D

  • Ana has never seen a deer fly. Those are flying "fuck-you-ups"

  • I'd rather deal with mosquitoes than spiders in my backyard and eventually in my house.

  • How cool is that. I love nature.

  • um spiders are not considered "holy" in Islam, the story you said is try, when the people of mecca tried to kill the prophet he and one of his companions hid in a cave, and there was a spider web covering part of the opening and also a birds nest as well both were untouched. in Islam there is only 1 "holy" and thats Allah(god in Arabic language.) spiders, birds, people, are all just creation.

  • @jason022182 well he didn'T say holy in a "hindu holy cow" kinda way where the animal is worshipped, but in the sense that it'S viewed with more respect and less animosity than a snake for example.

  • Oh I Hate mosquitos too... Agree with Ana. Tho spiders are also terrifying. 0.0

  • Fuck, a mosquito!!!!! Quick, throw a flying dragon at it!!! lol
