Banksy's Morons sells at London art auction

[punisher887]

0:13 isnt banksy

[lukam8]

lol at 14 seconds... thats obey you losers haha

[chuzz123]

1.31 Someone spraying hairspray haha! That made me chuckle.

[zippL0ck]

As good as his stuff is it would be very easy to copy his style ,

im surprised no one has done something on their own property in his style & claimed its a banksy just so they can sell it for 300K , then again perhaps some already has .

[kwakedesigns]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahah

[the1minininja]

lolz, and proably only a few years eailer they were calling his "art" vandalism.

[MrKeTau]

This auction is a piece of art of Banksy, too...he is not selling his artworks, he is creating a new piece of art with this;)

[MrHearington]

Screen printing is fun and lucrative too, thanks Banksy.

[animaonathens]

Banksy is laughing at your stupidity morons.You don't even know what the hell you're buying,you buying cause "Christina Aguilera buy it" or "Angelina Jolie has one" you fucking sheeps!

[keetonbob]

What If Banksy was actually in the crowd bidding on his own artwork. Just to fuck with people. Just to show how easy it is to turn people into sheep.

[boonatwork]

0:13 what a fail !

[Emiliogo1991]

@boonatwork Its from OBEY isn't?

[1265433]

w33d95.meinbrutalo.de FUNNY GAME 

[staphinfection]

0:14 = SHEPARD FAIREY!! Andre has a giant posse!

[sonyfucker]

@staphinfection that is what i was thinking

its not banksy

[Lsdgotaholdofme]

my question is, who the fuck gets the money for these pieces that sell

[LDNvids]

1:29 to 1:33 isn't that deodorant?

[InquiredMinds]

I haven't seen such a poignant display of the deluded state of our society in a long time....Fucking ridiculous, all u can do is lol :P

[blasvida68]

I hope he makes really good money out of these idiots,me, I like the unpredictable Banksy street shit casually driving trough L.A seeing the random shit. That moment is priceless for me.

[ugforthewin]

Banksy.. yeah not banksy and Himitsu taught him everything he knows.

[artregeous]

he should paint the ships of east india shipping company 

[nanofan44]

I hope he does an oscar themed one

[McMakisha]

He pretty much just laughed at Brad and Angelina. By buying it, they're just proving just how little they understand his work.

[facefacts911]

A print based on Sotheby's, sold at Sotheby's entitled "morons"... brilliant.

[crizackreggaeman]

AHAHAHAHAHA

[robhnasko]

stupid youtube ads make it not even watchable.

[LittoBUbbo]

wait, Banksy never wanted to sell his work right? Do they like employ some artists to copy his work and then they sell that shit?

[BobMosez]

great guy i think..

[Hellzyead]

banksy is piece of shit, nothing more...let's put it up for auction

[spiralisedcat]

If you read this BANKSY lend us a tenner i need paint

[Pizzataxxi]

he is the best and funny is,that he is sitting there....you can see him at 52 sec on the right with the flower.......he looks like the guy on the picture in jamaica cunningham......look to the eys,nose and the chin......the same....hahahhah he is sitting there and nobody knows it.......respect man banksy baby

[graphichic]

Banksy is a woman. She knows that woman's art doesn't sell for as much money as male artists.

[crizackreggaeman]

@graphichic if you had actually seen exit through the gift shop you would know that banksy is indeed NOT a woman. They cut out his face and put a voice alternator but regardless you can clearly tell the figure belongs to a mans.

[epohnopulse]

SHEPARD FAIREY IS BANKSY! THE GREAT COVER UP!

[IcyNit]

@epohnopulse SHEPARD FAIREY IS A QUEER! THE GREAT COVER UP!

[epohnopulse]

SHEPARD FAIREY IS BANKSY! THE GREAT COVER UP!

[TobiasMuray]

Notice the "spray can" at 1:30. More like hair spray.

[t0x1c1000]

banksy is my brother and i am proud of his achievement which was to put the message out to morons that buy his work for so much and making people realise the realeaty of the brutalness thats going on in the u.k...me and my brother grew up in bristol where there was nothing but curroption and mysery,but the message my brothers making is really getting out fast.

[jellyboy123]

i like to own a banksy but i'm poor.

[maxinemon001]

@jellyboy123 make yr self one .... get a tescos bag ectect hahah

[eljuli1003]

and the money goes for....

[2ManyNoobs]

the whole point is to take the piss out of the idiots that we all are for being a bunch of lazy, selfish, greedy, ignorant and stupid bastards

if there wasn't anything wrong with this world, banksy wouldn't be making 'art'

[lebf89]

this is so unfair :@ frikin assholes sell his work !!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRR

[invadercheeze]

If I had 200 grand to spend I would buy a Banksy work at an art auction like this one and burn it right in front of the building. Don't get me wrong: Banksy totally deserves the attention he's getting for his genius. But the stuck up collectors sitting in a room and buying culture with their spare millions is, well, moronic.

[torgundcitizen]

@invadercheeze

what is to you that people are spending money to buy banksy. If it was british investment bankers, who were paying for it, your anger would be warranted. It is not, because 99.99 per cent of the buyers are foreign, and the economy benefits from them buying the paintings. How, the art gallery benefits, they pay taxes on the commissions they get, which they use for expansion, which ends up creating more jobs. And especially many of the foreigners forget to claim VAT. added bonus.

[torgundcitizen]

Respond to this video... THE VAT that is not claimed is all with the British government to spend as it pleases, and helps in the social services we get.

[kingofclingfilm]

Who gets this money??

[brokennarcissist]

By the time things hit the gallery the conversation is dead and yuppies get to bid on the corpse.

[gnarlltrugger]

@AlderChalk i dont see it as selling out, i think he sees it as even more publicity, just with a large wad of cash added to it.

[ATRXXRTA]

banksy laughs about those people

[KevinH2k7]

one of those pictures is shepard ferry's hahaha

[Capz541]

Who puts these up on auction and who profits off of them? Also, it's called street art because it's art on the street, it's not another stupid pleasantry for these rich fucks to spend their money on to make them look "modern" or "alternative". Although you intelligent people already know that. :D

[spacepartysan]

win

[buzzclick500]

Art is about profiting from the emotions of the artist. Sometimes the artist is smart enough to make sure that they share in the profits. It's called Capitalism.

[ZenitYerkes]

"I can't believe you morons actually buy this shit"

[Dodomctoto]

I thought he did this so EVERYONE can enjoy it

[lukuleles]

so funny

[afgths]

@luisglinkedbell Thats the Andre the Giant print by Shepard Fairey. His art eventually became the skate company Obey which you are referring to. But Fairey's artwork has been a street art phenomenon since long before it was a brand name.

[JiubLink]

Reminds me of how bill hicks talks about peoplee in advertising.

"Oh, clever bill, he's going for the anger dollar. That's a good dollar. Oh, now he's on the hating marketing dollar, gosh, what a good dollar."

[UcheKO]

Many people prolly send in there art and claim to be banksy .So in a sense "Banksy" is a group of people.

[MrTM93]

0:14 paste up by shephard fairy...??? what the fuck lol

[AcornsAndAntlers]

@MrTM93 hhaa yah, what a fail

[cmdp85]

Banksy should create Project Mayhem, I would join it!

[zuriwest]

just saw the "documentary" exit through the gift shop

It's funny to see that familiar face at 0:53... although he doesn't have a camera.

[MrTM93]

@zuriwest are you joking..

[raeart]

interesting....so does Banksy see any revenue from his sold works? hes such a mystery

[kopius]

@gloomy vegan, ur name says it all. Go and listen to alanis morisette u angry lesbian.

[captaindanwaldo]

Copy and paste an opinion much?

[barrys2c]

If painting a wild animal is demonic what do you call people that kill animals for profit. Even if he/she is an embecile his/her art conveys strength and a truth that we cowardly turn a blind eye to or have felt powerless against.

[gloomyvegan]

Banksy is clearly a self referential idiot. To paint a wild animal and use it in his this way to me is on a scale with pedophilia. Banksy is a coward and an imbecile and has no merit beyond that of a mugger or drug dealer.

[bboydee]

Fucking Parasites

[emails2kyle]

i think we should find out where all these lie and steal them and dump them in giant water proof vaccum sealed safe. drop it in the ocean and surrond it by antipersonal mines. add a timer that will go off in 70 years that will deactivate the bombs. and cause a raft to pull the safe to the surface. so the future generation can have them since this generation seems to want to fuck up its serenity

[alex3alex3alex3]

0:13 to 0:15 is not banksy its shepard fairey with his andre the giant obey poster

[cuntpunt94]

@alex3alex3alex3 some people are such iddiots!

[cuntpunt94]

@alex3alex3alex3 some people are such iddiots!

[madbab00n]

@alex3alex3alex3 lol retarded news corps

[ihatedarts]

@AnTHoNyB1125. I think you'll find the PM is an MP, but let's not get pernickity eh?

[ihatedarts]

He's not unknown, his real name is Gordon Brown, a recently unemployed MP.

[AnTHoNyB1125]

@ihatedarts you mean PM

[Radioactivefantasy]

00:14 is not Banksy that is obey adrea the giant made by the creator of obama's hope poster

[Deko1Graffiti]

at 0:14 that aint even a fucking bansky its shepherd fairey

[1BlackOps1]

Theives take his work from the foundation his work started on , its quite sad :(

[rosso1000]

ebay uk is strated selling work by MR.COLAPOP. Is he the new Banksy?

[BrotherEw420]

I say Banksy should be happy to be collecting his dollars, without funding he cant have scaffolding for 50 foot high beuatiful rats, and the funds to do that Paris Hilton stunt must have been A LOT!

[babypuncher1000]

Banksy is done. He should quit already. His work used to piss big money makers, now they're buying his stuff. he even pleases them by making a movie. he has become what he hates the most; a product.

[KRYDRMS]

@babypuncher1000I guess your pretty cool since you have the credibility to determine what artists should do. Maybe banksy should sit in a shack all day with his weiner in his hand and paint on friggen kinkos paper for the rest of his life to make fans like you sleep at night. Maybe he should have taken all his art works out of the auctions and lived on bread and water for the rest of his life.Ambition, success and making a living = sellout right? Let's all be like you and live in a fuc|<1ng hole

[babypuncher1000]

@KRYDRMS umm.... he is an unknown graffiti artist. those auctions are not led by him. The money is being kept by the people who are selling his stuff, he isn't selling any of his stuff. people are ripping walls just to sell his stuff. he is feeding the same people that he is poking fun at. They have commercialized his art work and since he is unknown he can't go around complaining about it. Silly you!

[spazo567]

I usually celebrate a new Banksy piece by getting together with my boy friend, discusing the fine detail. Then pulling out the olive oil, lubing up the backside, and having gay sex.

[illonenolli2]

Oh! My goodness!

Thats funny and not funny at the same time.

Oh! What a conundrum!

I could just cry, while I laugh.

[shallah3]

the irony of people droping 100 thou on a piece that is making fun of them for doing that exact thing is hilarious

[speaker00001]

@shallah3 do we laugh or cry about this situation? I think just let it be. it will keep going up untill he reaches the millions. Then the hype will settle down a bit. (only after people start to look at their wallets and say "oh shit- i just blew a Mill on some canvas that actually costs $12 at the local art store). Thank god the art has deep meaning. But for now banksy is laughing all the way to the bank. His work is dope whether or not its for sale.

[BlackJackv3]

i love the way banksy has no involment in these sales all there doing is printing this stuff its on it site that he does not endorse or profit from any products.

[Briskyt]

At 00:15 they show Obey, /sigh

Sheppard Fairey was the creator of this piece of art also known as "Obey" It started as a joke, the stencil is of Andre the Giant, but he enjoyed the Idea of it being everywhere.

[PwnerKev]

"OBEY" isnt banksy's work, I believe it was an american that started "OBEY"

[NoYouHaveProblems]

@PwnerKev

ya man shepard fairey started obey

not banksy

[prinsophie87]

you dumbasses that are trying to buy this thing are morons!

[stfuBUDDY]

there is bansky at 0:53, guy with curly black hair. dont ask how i know

[souvenirguy11]

@stfuBUDDY no it isnt

[rarosera]

With a wry smile my arse, with a frown of disbelief more like.

[Cull23skicougar]

Soo shameful that its being bought, but i love his reply to it!

[GabDean]

hahaha that isss obey 0:15, not banksy what a dumbshit

[TobiasMuray]

@GabDean You mean shepard fairey.

[captainslam]

this is disgusting. people selling him and profiteering off of him and he's not getting any of it...not that he wants it. but blah. i hate the art world.

[urbanimpressionism]

Banksy is so clever. Love it!

Fairey take note; you're no Bansky!

[Jamalellindo]

and why for fucksake sell the goddam printouts for millions, if you can just buy the book for 12 pounds?

its just rich idiots buying it. because they're to posh to walk through the streets.

an i bet theyd try to sew him if he did something on thier walls

[Jamalellindo]

some people are just full off shit o.O

at 0.15 thats not banksy its obey

and banksy doesn't make art he just loves to bomb shit. with political aspects.

he aint a modern artist, hes a writer...

[TheMCBONES]

ITN are shit arent they?

what can of paint is that at 1:31?

at 1:31 thats hairspray

;) more fucking morons

[videochemist]

budget cuts

[aifammafiaaifam]

Banksy says dont sell out buy in.....

[steveCA]

why do they show shepard fairey's work at :15?

[jdmdrift]

@isaacmattheweastgate NOT the same guy, banksy is banksy and shephard fairy is a faggot.

[AmonAmarth02]

@jdmdrift

he was being sarcastic...

[GigabyteX4]

the day they catch banksy is the day they catch osama bin laden.

fuck bush.

[vaniaomeravigliao]

osama bin laden doesn't exist...he's quiet like the black snow.

[jdmdrift]

@GigabyteX4 really? wow a binladen bush reference? so cliche.

[Blu811]

they know who banksy is, and they wont arrest him anymore google it and yes, fuck bush

[SinOfANBU]

No it's not.

Banksy > Shepard Fairey

[ravenmoon3]

His art speaks to a lot more people than any politicians words ever could.

[crunk91]

bullshit people take his pieces down and sell

[tinyerea]

He'll be looking on smiling? No, I don't think so, he does this for everyone to see, also to put forward subtle points within his art, it angers me to know that people are selling and taking down his pieces.

[aifammafiaaifam]

for sale on e-bay england {the country} no carefull owner slightly used in need of transformation and cash injections could do with more free lesure time less work and more partying needed anybody want to start at£1.50. no vat

[SinOfANBU]

Why was an Obey pic on this video?

[taccios]

Banksy = Genius = Misunderstood

[burnzgotshot]

If Banksy wants to make a load of money out of some rich idiots then let him.

I would do the same.

[janet290756]

0:14 is obey not banksy.......

[wizarrd1]

Good call

[GuruITG]

WTF!!!! He made this art for everyone!!! Not some stupid rich posh snob!!! Banksy wont be happy will he!!!

[calebiskkkool]

this is fucked up banksy did this for every body to enjoy not for some rich boring snobs to buy.

[blackmondae]

well... people are "stealing" banksy's art work to make money

[jdmdrift]

@blackmondae you cant steal what is already yours. if banksy painted on my house its still my house.. and you can bet i would be selling it to a rich posh snob that wanted to throw 300k pounds at it.

[Swimminginyourpool]

@calebiskkkool Nope.

[Yamthief]

@calebiskkkool I don't think you quite get what this is about. The whole point is to take the piss out of the idiots in the auction house who are buying his work. It's irony at it's finest.

[surfwax121]

wtf is that they are spraying? looks like a can of hairspray!

[AdrienArtist]

one of the art was shepard faireys obey

[stevo8782]

0:14 is not banksy wtf

[FindAllTruth]

at's "wanksy" a cover group of banksy ^^

[worriedaboutlife]

wanksy strikes again.. it's leeegallll

[JarvidO]

They showed a goddamned shepard fairey stencil in one clip.

[punkrocker26960]

at 14 thats a shepard fairey peice not banksy but they are both legends

[bboybarty]

Underneath the metal sheeting is a banksy old school piece that was removed from the wall! like she says

[NonVerbalSpeech]

0:13 is obey not banksy wtf

[bboybarty]

underneath the metal was a piece that was being removed to be sold! like the woman says!

[Jd0n]

it really sucks that people are so greedy that they cant appreciate his art the way it was intended to be. If he wanted it to be sold he wouldnt be doing his artwork on buildings.

[jondea0]

I know yeah, its a real shame

[bartleen]

@Jd0n True, But now there is a nice and funny paradox in his work

[Swimminginyourpool]

@Jd0n Speak for him, make him something that he isn't.

[SimonPeggIsMyHero]

fucking idiots, i hate the way people think they can buy anything

[kimberleycalling]

spam

[fastpug]

is that hairspray they are pretending to be paint at 1:31

[kickthebass]

hahaha, looks like it.

tried blurring that shit out to be unnoticeable..

[GooseIsI]

@fastpug  hahhaa

[mejicolindoyquerido]

the face at :14 isnt banksy, its shepard fairey.

[deamr1]

its obey fool

[mejicolindoyquerido]

deamr1 you are a dumbass. Idiot fool. Obey IS Shepard Faireys art. He's the artist. He designs it. He puts it on the streets. Not some dumbass named Obey. That's the name of his project. Dumbass.

[lanebaguss14]

hahaha

[Spanky7482]

i want it
