  • Right you are, Rhett. Ya' know, Theodore Roosevelt allegedly said "There is no place in this country for 'hyphenated Americans'." I think he was dead wrong. America is a nation of immigrants, after all, so why shouldn't racial and ethnic diversity be embraced and celebrated? -- UniteIreland07 (PROUD Scots/Irish-American)

  • You tell em, Rhett. By the way, I like your fridge.

  • Red House hates the Chinese. Veryyyy bad.

  • Come on people, the internetz is serious business.

  • I love these videos they are HILARIOUS!!! My BFF and I email this video to each other whenever one us are upset/sad just to make each other smile!! Thanks guys for making this commerical!!

  • People that think this commercial was racist are idiots, nothing about this video said that one color was better than the other, it made fun of both blacks and whites, that is true equality. People that get offended over a simple joke that had nothing to do with discrimination are infact the racist.

  • haha Link, you're too funny. yeah, I never thought it was racist in the first place, but when I watched it I knew there'd be people who would freak out about it. great video guys, sorry this is two years late..haha

  • I'm SO agree with you Rhett!

    Oh c'mon people! Rhett and Link surely know how to make a GOOD commercial and they would NEVER use any kind of non-ethic thing such as denigration or racism, so lets ignore those haters who are just there to complain about something they don't even know about! In fact, I think THEY are the racists for implying such a thing.

    p.s. I hope you understand what SARCASM is when hearing what Link says in here people! Loved Link imitating Rhetts commenting voice btw!! xD

  • Good answer. :) And I agree..I think in the US we are way too quick to confuse racist with racial..thanks for clearing that up ;)

  • @theotherguyinthebackground Yeah! It's racist damn-it! lol ... Nice one guys. Often, folks who have a problem with this kind of material are strugling to think in an un-racist fasion themselves. We have such a problem with this kind of behaviour in the UK, that there is a great deal of positive racism.

    I hear the word 'Racist' and 'Racism' a great deal, but I very very rarely hear the word 'Equality'... which is something we should all try focusing on.

  • Good on yah

  • im here to see ur eyes up close. i love em n ur red house commercial video thing :)

  • ....That was beautiful. (sniff)

  • What I think the problem is is political correctness we keep pushing it not only on our youth but also each other not just with race but also with religion if someone was Jewish or Muslim and said they couldn't eat pork the likely response from someone would be I didn't know that even though they truly did so my point is if one thing will kill this nation it's political correctness

  • @AER0M1N1TAUR DAMN YOUR STUPID! I think the problem with race is dumbass cocksuckers like you who can't get sarcasm or see how utterly ridiculous to the point of being hell a funny that commercial was.

  • @homelesshannah50 No you miss understood. I think this commercial is funny as crap man. In fact my comment was actually against the kind of people that you accused me of being. No I am not political I don't really get rapped up in this political nonsense like this one person said "It's just rich people screwing poor people." But I do care about the affairs of the people. figuring out why they do the things they do. I can see why your upset because you thought I was one of see next comment

  • @homelesshannah50 the very people that I was talking about in the comment that you responded too. frankly we can talk about racsism and politics all day, but as a great man once said "it just pisses people off and that at the end of the day is all that really matters" also check out this band called elvenking just found them and they are awesome

  • @homelesshannah50 also you really do sound like a troll so you might want to think about comments before you post comments less you be labled a troll in the future P.S. if you did understood the first comment [which I now think you didn't due to your reply] you'll find that I was completely agreeing with this video

  • @AER0M1N1TAUR 'troll' I'm not hiding under a bridge scaring away billy goats goofball.

  • Comment removed

  • i think the only reason rascism exists is because we tell our kids that at one point blacks were not considered normal. if kids know that blacks USED TO be unliked by the community, they will grow up thinking that way.

    im not saying to drop that part of history from education, but if we teach kids what rascism used to be, then thats another generation that knows what rascism is. if we forget history, we are condemned to repeat it, but if we remember it, it will always exist.

  • @MegaMisterBob The reasons racism still exists are far more complicated than because we know about it. Not talking about it definitely won't make it go away.

    "if we teach kids what rascism used to be, then thats another generation that knows what rascism is." You're right. They'll know what it used to be. But knowing how it was won't make them want to burn crosses. Knowing 'how it was' puts 'how it is' in perspective and helps us decide 'how we want it to be.'

  • @MegaMisterBob and what does your last sentence mean? to me it looks like 'it doesn't matter whether we forget or remember history because we'll repeat it either way.'

  • @BuenaventuraAvenue What i meant by pretty much the whole thing was that there isn't a way around racism always being there. we could not teach it to our kids in hope it goes away, but then they don't learn from our mistakes. we could teach it to them, and then they go to school and say to some black kid, "hey, make me a sandwich thats what your good at, aint it?" no matter what we teach them, racism is there.

  • Amen.

  • lol rhett is such a good reader

  • lol to the racism

  • You are really cool guys.

  • I'm a sort of silvery indigois colour & have no feelings either way on the matter.(Exept to say Its' wicked funny & I loved it ).

  • you look like my french teacher, when i first saw the advert i thought it was a comedy sketch or something,

  • I love ixpanics

  • I think what you guys said about this ad on Last Call was the best response to the controversy.

  • ...and after all explanation - I still think it´s racist LOL !!!!!!

  • @Mikescarface87 Racial

  • @sotr1224 at the reeeeeeeeeeddddd house where black ppl and white ppl buy furniture!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Mikescarface87 Okay?!? I still don't think it's racist!

  • @sotr1224 Neither do I.Actually it´s a comedy.Cheers mate!!!

  • Lol!!!

  • that's deep

  • "I still think its racist!" hahaha Link was funny when Rhett was trying to be as serious as possible.

  • I'm a Nigger and I love the Redhouse.

  • I'm going to sound weird, but, that was sorta insperational 8-0

  • Awww Rhett! <3

    

  • @RawrAndYeah I think <3 looks more like pie than a heart you sould try ♥!!!

  • the only thing thats racist about this commercial is that black and white people are the ONLY people in it.

  • @Lemonmourner78 Nah, it mentions hispanic there at the end...if that makes any difference!!!!

  • Great address.

  • The video isn't racist at all but it's certainly a good example of poor maketing I would never shop at a store full of retarded old trashy rednecks(another word for white nigger) with dirty beards and ugly bald ashy niggers with fucked teeth. That commercial was not insulting to a specific race, but it was a little degrading to lower income people who can't shop at better venues. All in all I found the whole thing quite halarious and I'm black so on that note mission accomplished.

  • geeeeezzzz....cant we all just get along? lol...its funny man!! get over your selves and learn to laugh....i said this and i am white...but i know some black people...who know som hispanics ....who know some asians...who are all laughing at this....

  • yes, you are exactly right rhett and Link. People can be oversensative. Just stating your race is not racist. You guys are awesome.

  • best ending to a video ever

  • I'm white and the Red House Commercial is for me. :)

  • And im latino and i love the red house commercial

  • I'm white and I like to pump iron and pump furniture too!

  • anyone who subscribes me ill subsvribe them watch white house our mad house

  • Whoever thinks it's racist must be very, very stupid . . . that's all :)

  • Racism discriminates against one race, which you sure didn't do. These people just need dictionaries and some decent schooling.

  • Nice reading a stript. But, I still love the commercial :]

  • Great job, guys. Those offended by this video are infected by political correctness at levels I can't begin to imagine. Far too many people are hypersensitive about stuff like this, and they need some help to get over it. News flash: PC is embarrassing, unsexy, and immature. Get over it. Enjoy a funny and well meaning video. P.S. I love your work guys!!!

  • " I am a black woman" and I love the red house commercial. and You r sooooo right! lmao

  • I thought the commercial was sweet AND funny! Ignore thhe stupid critics & keep doing what you do..Good Luck!

  • That was one of the best commercials in history!

  • nice work

  • I love it...and thank you---very brave and bold and I love you .....all...! This is THE perfect way to go about the whole R word...with HUMOR--at least we can still laugh at ourselves, AND reconcile at the same time!!?!!

  • I know it was intended to be silly, but the commercial moved me.

  • i'm so glad that you've brought this up again on lopez tonight

  • lol. im black and i didnt find that commercial racist at all. i found it funny.

  • "....Which is racist!"...LOL Link with the random racist comments...lOL

  • You are beyond true. :) goodjob

  • Yay!

  • The video was great, i thought it was a joke that it was called Red House, and run by black and white people lol

  • ... sorry ?

  • I really ENJOY your commercials...people need to relax and laugh!!

  • I'm engish/irish/German/scottish/a­nd Spanish(nicargua) and I live the red house.

    =D.

  • @LaylaCoconut *love

  • How did people think that was racist.

    It shows black people and white people getting along.

  • I don't know how anyone could take the video as racist. No wonder we got so many problems in the world, people can't chill.

  • Loved the video~

  • I loved the Video. I didn't think it was racist at all and to all the people complaining about it, they are the ones keeping us from living in peace!

  • I thought the commercial was genius..well done.

  • Lets say for the sake of argument, if this video is "racist" what should be done to the people involved? If you make a racial comment, should you be put in jail? lose your home? be beaten? who is the authority on racism. who decided what is acceptable and what is not? people forget we have a 1st Amendment right to say what we want. (Less threatening speach) When a black person says "kill whitey" it is ignored. if a white person says "I am white and proud" they are vilified. It is a shame.

  • I thought the original commerical was a riot! Very FUNNY and so wonderfully NON PC. It's all in fun, lighten up, no one was dised.

  • Awe that's cute :) I'm a "Black" American woman, and I think you and your videos are sooooooo cute. :::wink::: :)

  • Damn dudes eyes are cocked like a pistol

  • lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo

  • screw that!! I loved it and im half white and half black (the lower half) and I think you guys are comedy geniuses!!!

    Oh and you can sing too.. Keep up the great f-ing work!

  • Love it , i thought it was shining a light on the racial ignorance in the world by saying if you're black or white your money is green HAHA OH AND IM BLACK.

  • I'm a black man (colored, African-American, brother....pick one) and a commercial Producer. I enjoyed the commercial. I stands out. I thought it was hilarious and you got the message out. Nice job. You can't please everyone. As long as the client is getting business and recognition you've done your job.

  • i'm black and white, and i love the red house

  • Yeah, the Red House commercial was not racist at all. It was fun, hilarious, and brought people together. I loved it.

    No matter what you do you will always find people who will bitch about stuff. Bill Cosby once said, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

  • Yes - but you didn't address the communist element of the name "Red House" -- who named that store and why?

  • @pintito777....yeah...saying that makes you racist AGAINST them

  • This guy is super cute. what was he talking about?

    jk

  • he's talking about a commercial he had make

  • it is funny people need to get over it... americans are so anal about anything..

  • Lol, you said "In the not-so-recent past." I think you meant "Not-so-distant past," since it was less than 100 years ago (heck, prolly just over 50) that this took place. There are probably people still alive you REMEMBER it.

    And lol @ the end ^_^

  • I HEART you guys

  • I'm white, and I LOVE the Red House. XD

  • Im red and the red house is 4 me

  • i'm not offended by that vid but i just thought it was funny how it clearly stated 'black and white people were invited. if this was a real commercial, i don't think it would have to state that at all. where i come from, it's already assumed that all races can shop somewhere. it was a funny vid though

  • guys you didnt really had to make an explanation.. we already know commercial is not racist at all but dumb people wont get it.. even if you explained..

  • I wrote a book on prejudices. I don't think the video was racist. Can someone explain to me why avoiding the subject of race altogether will help us get through the denial of our racial prejudices?

    Dr. Von Bakanic

  • I'm black/NativeAmerican/EastIndia­n/White and I love the Red house.

  • @SunSp0t your not Native American your like most white people who claim to be Cherokee...ie Pretendians!!!! lol jk...no seriously my comment was just a joke...that should be used at the red house

  • your commercial made me proud to be an American! Keep up the good work! Been sharing it on FB!

  • I'm black and I love the Red House

  • and im white and i love the red house too!

  • Comment removed

  • if you know your comments are retarded, then dont post them, retard.

  • don't be so angry. this is a commercial about harmony.

  • ok retard...keep on tarding

  • your racist your name has dark in it........ makes just as much sence.

  • I thought it was a good commercial.

  • The video was fun! White people got mildly mocked as much as the black folks. How is a SOFA racially oriented? A damned sofa? The commercial was hilarious because a store where "black people and white people buy furniture" is about as silly as "an open space where black people and white people breathe a mix of oxygen, nitrogen and minute amounts of other gasses." It's stating the obvious in a really funny way.

    Everyone at my work LOVES this!

  • @jfulbright Why do good people have to used such horrible language, I just don't understand!!!!

  • im tired of people saying everything is racist. people sure know how to take the fun out of an awesome commercial.

  • @HighShippu

    What a fag.

    Preaching shit like this on a video about a commercial, and downplaying every race except Islam.

    You're a stupid douchecock.

    Go burn in whatever Hell you believe in asshole.

  • @callouschristian

    What?

    You're angry at me for not liking people that say you're going to Hell if you're not islamic??

  • No, for your violent use of the word "fag". It's really offensive and causes much pain in the world.

  • "What a fag."

    Don't know how that's "violent" but yes, it is offensive. It was supposed to be.

    If somebody tells me I'm going to hell for not being Islamic I'm not going to invite him into my home and offer him a drink. I'm going to be as offensive as possible to show him that he pissed me off.

    And fyi, people say "fag" all the time. Usually when somebody is an ass or says/does something stupid. If I was calling him a fag for being gay, then yes that's bad. In this case no. The guy is a faghole.

  • @callouschristian I love the word fag you FAG!

  • thats because neanderthal retards are easy to bait. Idiot......

  • @callouschristian dude seriously? Christians are the most homophobic people in the world...

  • @aetommyboy muslims are, nothing to discuss. they don't have to be but as the circumstances are today, they are

  • @aetommyboy Huh? Dude, I am a Christian and completely non-homophobic. I may not agree with their lifestyle but I don't hate them or have a fear of them at all. You may be thinking of those people who call themselves Christians but don't really get what that means.

  • you stfu you faggot. go give someone a christian side hug.

  • lmao that song cracks me up, than they say what ws it, if they dont love you, beat them up?

  • I don't think Racheal is racey. Some of Rhett and Link's other videos were racier. Like the one for Bobby Denning Furniture where they were driving a small orange lawnmower Go-cart thing. Now THAT is racing!

    If ya'll cant live life in the fast lane, then get out the kitchen utensils and spoon-her-isms!

  • it was racially comical. they didn't hate on any race whatsoever. to call it a racist attempt would be dumb.

  • But bringing up the fact that some people have lighter skin and some people have darker skin doesn't at all point toward inequality. It's the same as saying "Where redheads and brunettes buy furniture". I'm not saying that redheads and brunettes aren't equal, I'm just saying that they both buy furniture here!

    Just because at one point in the history of the world, races weren't considered equal doesn't mean that we shouldn't recognize skin color! It's something we should be proud of!

  • Anyone, of any color, who had an issue with that video obviously needs to pull the toothpick out of their butt (yeah, it's THAT tight!)

  • Rhett's crotch looks like your face, you mean? Or that your crotch sports a beard and a moustache?

  • I'm black and I think Rhett is sexy! I also love the red house.

  • daverask91: watch the video again he didnt say was Dave Chapelle racist just racial

  • I'm white, and I love the Red House.

    Commercial.

  • @Axtuse

    i'm not even human and i love the red house commercial

  • Comment removed

  • i didnt find it racist

  • The original commercial was not at all racist. It was however, awesome.

  • NICE BEARD

  • Haha, I love you guys!

  • Thanks for clearing that up for us Kenny Loggins.

  • i'm black and the commercial didn't seem racist to me

  • The commercial was geniously crafted

    you guys know exacty what to do to get people´s attetion and you do it in such a unique way that blows my mind everytime , you on of the most original and innovative musician´s i have ever seen

    Best of luck

    Greets sign

    (Please excuse my bad english)

  • im white

  • people need to watch their language... :-x

  • Damn straight!

  • Personally I find Dave Chappell racist and annoying. He is a bad reference.

    I looked at some of the 711 comments

    at this time and didn't see many from

    people identifying themselves as black.

  • This is just my opinion but I don't know i'd call Dave Chapelle racist - which race is it that he promotes hatred and intolerance for? he pokes fun at the stereotypes that are promoted by racists and other people alike, but thats just to show how rediculous they really are. ps - 4 comments above you is a black guy , not offended.

  • I'm tired of people saying that that video is racist, it's not racist.

  • See my response to aireun below.

    P.S. Link making fun of people of color's comcerns speaks volumes.

  • just get off this fuckin vid, nobody stays here and nobody want to see you here

  • First time having blacks in one of your

    MANY VIDEOS and it's racist.

    Even your nice blues eyes won't get you

    out of this one.

    Maybe if you had more minorities in your videos it would normalize things and it

    wouldn't be such an issue???

    P.S. Flash-me.

  • wow.

    you're saying that because they dont have black people in their videos, its racist?

    fuck you

    little piece of shit

    you have no videos on your channel, that must make you racist to everyone, huh?

    go die, little prick

  • aireun,

    Did my comment, that wasn't sent to you, really warrant your acting like the village idiot on crack?

    You must have read my response backwards you dumb-fuck.

  • you're either trolling or you're just a fucking retard

    i really hope you're just trolling, but then again you're probably just a fucking retard either way

  • So someone is racist because they don't have some one of a different race in their vids? He can't help having blue eyes nobody can help anything about their bodies. It's his genes. So some one is racist because they are white and have blue eyes oh yeah that "makes loads of sense"

  • I'm white and I loouuuve the Red House.

  • So true, this is good video.

  • I think you made your point even to those people who didn't get the joke

  • what controversy ???

  • great job guys!! you are brilliant!
