  • Tj at his rawest and most expressive. Specifically 7:15 where he just breaks down and reacts to what else but America.

  • Fuck Cody Weber.

  • So i'm an idiot for clicking on your video? Thanks man

  • @stride7860 no no no

    he said only idiots would click on the ADS

  • talking about the state of all things stupid in america, does not mean you dont apreciate your own shit...i am thank for for ever fiber of posession i have...but this country is fucking retarded at times...

  • You need to travel TJ. Maybe then you will appreciate whatever little you have in the US.

  • @prep4md You should go look up the "red herring fallacy."

  • This  video really did hit me. In every thought i think the same.

  • Wow! Can't believe i haven't seen this before.

    Great vid, TJ! I don't why i write that like he's going to read this, but whatever.

  • this was the first vid i saw of him and i like to come back watching it every now and then just cause.

    also, i cant believe TDK is that old already

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOL omg its emo cody! thats so cool how they ended up living together 2 years later

  • @dumapies but tragic that they don't talk to each other anymore :'(

  • You have no idea how stupid people are. In my English classes, kids NEVER fucking understood the endings of the books we read. They didn't understand To Kill a Mocking Bird, Animal Farm, 1984, countless others because they're retarded minds can't comprehend something that is subtle or abstract or clever or different. I was literally the only person in the class of about 25 to come close to understanding the concepts and ending s of these books.

  • @TheEndOfLiberty their*

    

  • party time excellent lol

  • What happened between you and Cody? I still don't know, I thought you guys were like bffs

  • @GameStar1300 They had an argument and Cody pissed off

  • This video is so fucking underrated :O

  • :/ Cody and TJ.

  • Okay. I'm probably going to get crucified for this, but I actually like The Millionaires. I don't idolize them or take them seriously; I just like them because they're fucking hilarious. And really, I think they're doing this at least half-jokingly anyway.

  • Wow, this video is fucking amazing. Fuck society, the way people are today just disgusts me

  • Completely agree with the things this guy said.

  • If you hate america and this species so much then just kill yourself dude. Take me and my family for example, we are dirt poor..been living in the same house for 13 years, one level..were just unfortunate, but we make do with what we have and were happy about it. We can deal with the world as long as we are alive. Were proud as hell to draw breath every morning. no matter what the "big bad corporations" are doing.

  • @bassguitar1234567 You didn't even watch the video, did you?

  • @Zekkary are you retarded? of course i watched the video. I was simply pointing out his stupidity, as well as your's now.

  • Wife murderin' bob LOL

  • This video is underrated and brilliant O__O

  • Wow, was that really Cody? Damn, these short years changed him haha.

  • The rant about hamburgers was inspired by the movie "Falling Down", right?

  • @Indrius Thats exactly what that part made me think of. lol

  • Dude it's not the world it's just America!

  • This country was founded on many principles and concepts... But now those concepts have done nothing but cease from existence.

  • @AlmostEnglish yes it is

  • Get your fucking piece dawg we're all at the same level brother - fuck the corporate whores fucking slimeballs

  • Comment removed

  • Calm down buddy, that party girl video is just for 13 year old girls with the intelligence (to lazy to look up the proper spelling) of a McDonalds hamburger.

  • @psudeoaccount - but he was right - no matter how angry he gets its fucking TRUE - Amy Winehouse was never happy - she had all the money in the world everything any man she wanted and she ended up overdosing herself in her million £ pad in London. Thats the culture of neo-liberalism - it fucking sticks of shit - that isnt America -

  • I wonder if it's an American thing that the burgers look so ugly in McDonalds. In other countries they still actually look good. In my country there's only one, and it's the ultimate place for people to hang out. And it's clean and nice and the stuff actually looks and tastes good. I tried it in america though and it was awful. Never went back.

    Try UBurger.

  • @lessisbeautiful there was a uburger in my town for about a year, they went out of business.

    its much easier to pay a buck for a mcdouble than 6 bucks for one of their actual real burgers

  • AHAHHHHHH WHY DID YOU MAKE US LISTEN TO THAT SONG

  • So, McDonalds makes their burgers aesthetically appear better than they are, and I'm at fault?

    FUCK HOWARD ZINN, AND FUCK YOU, TJ!!!

  • @photolitherland I remember when he sang it himself. "This is where my intro would be if I had one! Do do do do do do!"

  • Dosnt America remind you of France back during the American revolutiona? They were all about sex, partys, and drinking. Then after we got freedom and they ran outa money they had a revolution and fell apart :D

  • @xXZeroClaymoreXx yeah if you were in the top 1 percent.

  • 6:07 Oh god make it stop!!!!!

  • very good argument, and good vid man, keep it up

  • This is TJ right after his dad died....I want to feel sympathetic but I know he'd just tell me to screw off...

  • This is the first time I think TJ has been actually genuinely angry on camera, true despair.

  • Comment removed

  • Watching US TV for an extended period of time can make a rational thinker very cynical.

  • @Truth118 This is true... I watched about 2-3 hours of FOX.. well.. ok maybe i didnt feel cynical.. but i sure as hell felt smarter.

  • Sweetpea...you're ranting about how you don't need money/possessions and stuff while you have a roof over your head, at least a camera and computer, and I'm willing to bet you have a fair amount of other expensive items. You probably had a fairly well-off upbringing, in a country where you can get an education and be treated like a human for the most part. People working to do the things you look down on them for is the reason you can spend your time making videos.

    How are you not a hypocrite?

  • @babyblu2002uk He is ranting about how we dont NEED possessions, true. However, just because a person says we dont NEED these luxuries doesn't prohibit him from enjoying them if they are available. He is trying to put across the point that Americans think that we need as many luxuries as possible to live a happy life, which simply isn't true.

  • Nice rant, I agree.

  • Hah I dig that deep thinking "When you have let this country strip mine your soul how do you find a soul mate?" hahahaha

  • *sorry for the double post but I often feel like I'm living in a society close to the one of Fahrenheit 451

  • You're the bad guy in our culture's eyes because you put a wrench in the gears of normal and you say"hey this is bullshit." You don't have a sheep-like attitude and that upsets other people because it disrupts their "out of sight: out of mind" belief. It's sad how that works.

  • Fuck AMERICA!!!..i am an italian citizen living inthe U.S. and the only reason i stay is cause of my family.But America,is the absolute worst country when it comes to trying to provide for a family.

  • @lazerbeak2125 I was born here and even I agree with that. When I grow up, I'm changing countries. (I'm Italian also, by the way)

  • this man speaks the truth. tj your a legend!

  • You seem like the robot from I-robot xD

  • 11:46

    the media will go away too

  • Brilliant video, TJ, as always. You sir, are a genius. Thank you for speaking the truth.

  • @WHIREAS The sad thing is: he's not even really a genius. He just seems like one compared to the regular person. It's like going from dial-up to DSL. It seems so great but it's just because dial-up sucked so badly.

  • @KedViper Sad thing is you can't see true genius.

  • This is definitely one of my favorite monologues of yours, or of anyone's for that matter. Thank you TJ for being one who can so eloquently express the frustrations of those who relate to what you say.

  • who are they?

  • @tommy34543 Cody Weber and Terroja Kincaid. Oh and by the way; they're extremely famous amongst the atheist-community here on YouTube.

  • i like this video :)

  • @MrMcraepv I think it's beautiful,because it's the truth.

  • There are many people who only watched the first 20 seconds of this video. After that, they probably clicked on the "dislike" button/ left/ expressed their blind opinion on the comment section/....repugnant.

  • Comment removed

  • ive never understood why or how someone can get paid so much money to play a GAME. garbage men are far more important than sports players, but we never even think twice about the service they do for us. going out and drinking until you black out is considered the cool and fun thing to do. our leaders take our own hard earned money from us and spend it on things we have no or little say on. America is not the land of opportunity. Its the home of the slaves. Its fucked now, and always will be

  • Comment removed

  • Indeed, there is no single word you said that is false. It's just... Fuck.

  • Fuck, i hate music like that. Its only purpose is to cater to the brainless masses that are too fucking lazy to go out and find music that doesn't glamourize stupidity. This is definitely a sign our culture is dying.

  • It's ironic that while the goal seems to be the American Dream, we also pass down 'wisdom' such as 'be thankful for what you have,' 'money doesn't buy you happiness,' and other similar garbage to dissuade people from achieving the American Dream.

    The thing I hate most about this culture is our worship of idiots, while intelligent, hardworking people who utilize their intelligence and strength for the benefit of society are ignored.

  • I think you might be my lost twin. These people in the US are sheep being being led to slaughter. I agree that we are not a specie that has been "tamed".-lame. They would love to have everyone sittin' in front of the TV, 24/7. Sucking the brain right out of society and making everyone passive. This country was not founded on a bunch of passifists. Thanks for keepin it real.

  • Spoken like a true patriot, no sarcasm intended.

  • Great Video...

  • I only realized these things last year in 2009. I'm 17 going into college and the only feeling I have ever had for the average Joe was rage and pity, and this has only given me hope for humanity. You have said, in the best way possible what needed to be said, and you are another person, a human being who possibly understands and gets the picture! I understand your plight from my own experience. People don't want to know, they want to feel. Most, If not all of them are sheep, blindly following.

  • Some of The Amazing Atheist's best work, right here.

  • christopher mccandless was a cool misanthrope... your just a guy thats bitching

  • keep playing 7:32 over and over and laugh your ass off

  • This is probably TJ's best video.

  • Comment removed

  • this video was quite artistic

  • @SpiderWhiteYT

    People idolize "getting fucked up" and barbaric exces. It's like watching the fall of Rome. We always want more....and that's what's wrong. And you're saying he sounds emo because he's pretty much disgusted by the bullshit that is popular in the mainstream media? And all you got from that was he's criticizing these sluts, yes that's what they portray themselves as sluts, because they party too much?

  • @SpiderWhiteYT

    Wow, over your head. I think you're offended because you like that lifestyle, that MTV party all the time mentality. He's not saying drugs and alcohol are bad, I don't even think he's saying partying is wrong. He's criticizing the fact that there is no depth, there is no value to what the fuck their saying, it's all "I don't give a shit what that bitch say's" Those girls don't have a real bone in their body....they're plastic, and people idolize it.

  • Comment removed

  • Is that Cody?

  • this video deserves more views

  • very well said T..J always make these kind of videos ...always!

  • Also, you look like Peter from Tooltime9901 in this video, as well as sound like him.

  • Holy shit, is that Cody??!

  • You sir, inspire me.

  • Your like a genius.

  • My favorite video of yours. Would would show it to my friends but they all ate the bullshit years ago....

  • What's this video about????

  • Anyone else love to just listen to TJ ramble about the world?

  • @XxtwotapxX im with you pal!

  • Oh, young Cody. You've grown so much.

  • The American dream shouldn't be cars, hoes(no offence ladies) and clothes. But instead to leave the world a better place then it was when we came in to it. This is something everyone should aspire to. But maybe we're trapped in endless spiral going to our own doom. I sure hope not sure hope not but it's hard to see anything different. This video was made 2 years ago I wonder where we will be in another 2 years. I hope it's better place then we are right now. NOUGH SAID -_-

  • Despite the higher production values on your more recent videos, I consider this one to be your opus. It's just a man, a camera, and a message, and isn't that what this is all about at the end of the day?

  • @TheGreatMcN

    Hear hear!

  • @TheGreatMcN Could not be more true.

  • You guys gay lovers? u sound really into him? NICE! GAY PRIDE! Keep a open mind its not a bad thing to lie to people. morals dont really matter they just control. free thinker here.

  • fuck you

  • Comment removed

  • TO MANY WHITE DUMB CRACKERS IN AMERICA IS THE PROBLEM!!

    OBAMA 2012!

  • @MrLiberal4life Idiot.

  • @MrLiberal4life

    Because Obama's been so fantastically helpful...

  • @MrLiberal4life

    too many kfc eating niggers in america!

    see? racism aint funny!

  • you should put this on your autoplay

  • Underviewed.

  • We have lots of social networking tools, which have allowed for mainstream culture to branch out and grow in countless ways. We even have whole political movements being formed, but when you ignore that and pretend to be some intellectual God sitting high on the mountain top, it's easy to miss that.

  • So why then is it an issue now? Because IMO it seems the people portraying the message don't meet up to what he thinks they should look and be like. And so what if our culture glorifies getting partying? This is what all young people have done and will do past and present. It's just been the focus of media and attention. When you are young having fun is a huge focus of existence, but it's not the only aspect of mainstream culture. Not to mention mainstream culture is still being shaped.

  • He only wants to see reality through his own prejudices. I wouldn't even have an issue with that if he didn't spend the entire video ranting like a bitch about how society vilifies him. He is just as bad as the people who bash all anime watchers as stupid weaboos who are ignorant of life, art, and reality, but T.J has admitted to loving anime and its conventions. Would you say that about him? Not only that, but he has admitted to having no issues with the videos message.

  • Honestly is there a point to this? Ok, partying is bad because it's stupid, working hard is bad because you don't get anything. Is it just me or is this little more than self-serving empty-headed pseudo-intellectual nonsense? God, this honestly sounds like the emo wangst bullshit that T.J rallies against.

  • @SpiderWhiteYT

    the point is, man, that the WHOLE FUCKING CULTURE (as TJ would put it) is about partying and getting fucked up and fucking each other. Nobody gives a shit about anything that matters anymore. And fuck emo's are just pseudononconformists; they claim to be trying to resist the mainstream, but they are a part of it.

  • @thabookwyrm I don't meant t insult you, but to be blunt, that is the biggest load of hypocritical shit I have ever read. You are taking one aspect of these people, glorified in the fucking media, and painting the whole damn culture with that brush. When you do that shit you might as well put on a robe and go preach at a fucking church, because you are no fucking better. Perople have lives outside of the party scene, but in this video that's not what T.J wants to see.

  • @SpiderWhiteYT You're the exact person his talking about a sheep who dosint understand anything

  • "So I've got all these things, but so what? In the end, you can't take them with you." -Steven Wilson in "What happens Now?" by Porcupine tree. Dude, I seriously love you. I agree with everything you're saying

  • what's the name of that band at 6:03? sounds like stuff to do your homework to cause it doesn't make you think much. lol

  • 07:26 -  its fuckin stupid !!

    it is bro

  • This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours, I agree wholeheartedly.

  • This is the kind of Amazing Atheist I prefer. I enjoy the ranting, angry guy, but I'd rather see this one more often; the serious, upset but still calm about it guy.

  • That music video was fucking sickening. Just sick. How can people listen to such crap. I dont hate it because its pop, i hate it because, how can people act like that. Are we actually that bad? Are we that retarted? WTH? I would of thought that human kind would of advanced, not stumped down to that level.

  • @masterjarred32 What's wrong with it? I like to party and a lot of other people do to? Do you even know why you hate it or are you just trying to be different?

  • @SpiderWhiteYT I cant be different. You know how many people have those same views? I just dont like a bunch of what goes on here.

  • @masterjarred32 What don't you like about it and what makes you superior(As I would imagine you feel as such seeing as how you called it stupid.)

  • @SpiderWhiteYT I don't feel superiour. I dont see how i could. I have never felt superior. Ive always felt like ive been taken advantage of. Never superior. And just because i call america stupid, doesnt make me feel superior. just my views. And most of the world fells this too. I am as superious as the next guy, then that guy to the next. Im for equality, not superiority. People who make themselves more superior to others dont deserve life. Equality. Thats what i follow.

  • @SpiderWhiteYT

    You're an idiot.

  • favorite TAA Video...

  • I am disgusted by this commercialized society and this sick, pathetic, insipid, greedy, catatonic culture full of media besotted drones.

  • Sorry to let you know, that this is the same shit in every country, not just America. ^^

    To paraphrase Carlin- "Bullshit is the glue that binds us as a species".

  • @vRennas

    aw fuck, there goes my plans to move to another country to escape this bullshit

    wait, you're not kidding, right?

  • @thabookwyrm Sweden my friend, Sweden is the answer :)

    And that you don't know the language, ain't gna be no problem.

  • Beautiful. TJ is the only one who can say what I want to be said and that also I didn't know what wanted to be. Personally my favorites are the 20-60 minute videos. And just a little comment on Cody Webber, How come everybody can't have the moral fiber you do?

  • Your awesome dude!!!!!!

  • I do agree with a lot of what he is saying, esp with the moronic soceity we live in, and the commercials on tv are pathetic, the car commercials, absolutely dumb idiotic crap..

  • i liek mudkips

  • haha. you cant argue against the shallow american culture and then think your an exception because you're "struggling"... you fucking moron. everyones trying to make "a little dime". your as big a symbol of the culture you preach against as anyone of the corporate companies you sit there uselessly bitching about. you're choking on your own bullshit. Greed is universal. don't you ever fucking think you're any different you ignorant shit

  • @Cbrehmes227 You dumb fuck. So you would rather to become a hyppocrite, greedy asshole only to have no problems whatsoever? At least TJ here is trying to fight for his idea and for something good for your fucked up country. If you dont like him, dont watch him, idiot. Have a nice day!

  • @Hospitalier14 i absolutely love tj, but don't waste your time trying to argue with a fundamentalist troll such as Cbrehmes227. he's not worthy of our hateful comments. his comments just show that he didn't even watch the whole video, he just skipped through.

  • @TheBlackenedWHITE I was just annoyed by the fact that we have so many idiots around. I guess that ignoring them is the best idea. Fuck him.

  • haha. did this fat fuck really just say we live in a culture of lies because he didnt like his fuckin burger? sound proof logic on that one hahaha

  • "People did not like the Dark Night for the same reasons I did. People didn't like me for e-begging. Therefore, this country is shit."

  • This is so true, but the people are blind.

  • All the great thinkers were criticized in their time. It comes with the job, stay strong bro. Even if this is more than two years old.

  • I really hope this video, along with "Cognitive Dissonance", are the videos TJ will never take down.

  • He had me clicking the like button at 7:30

  • i thought seth rogan was jewish....and slighty skinnier.

  • Depressingly hilarious...

  • your best video.

  • American culture? There is none. There are few, very few smart Americans left..

  • TJ, I'm going to be completely honest with you. Give up. Most people are stupid. There's a few of us left, but the rest of them...they're doomed. They've been doomed for a long time. Since we traded books for TV's, Letters for texting and innovation for complacency. Screw it. Guys like you and I will never fit in. We can't, becuase we refuse to.

  • @TheNobleBard i like that ill subscribe to that mind set. couldn't f put it better my self.

  • @TheNobleBard Yeah. I know what you mean. It's impossible to turn back now. America's been running down the gutter for decades already. You can't turn the tide.

  • I'm so sorry, and thank you.

  • I agree with everything you said

  • i love this....

  • I mean, for those who believe in a transcendent, timeless creator (most of the planet), life has purpose.

    What you and many atheists don't understand is that it doesn't matter whether God exists or not, so long as people believe in one. If they believe in God, then that gives their life purpose and meaning.

    They are aware that they cannot empirically prove God's existence, that's why it's called FAITH. There would be no need for FAITH if theists could prove God exists, would there?

  • @bj07bran7: You're making it sound like this is the only way for a person to have purpose and meaning. One of the many great things about being alive is that you can pursue your OWN purpose, craft your OWN meaning. I just wanted to make that point real quick.

  • @bj07bran7 how can a person say "it doesn't matter if god exists or not, so long as people believe in one" how does that make my life any more fulfilled? Why do you assume my life is so unfulfilled, I pursue my own happiness not the happiness of some deity that may or may not exist. It's great if you believe in God, but don't push that on other people, it is not your job to save me nor should my beliefs be any of your concern.

  • @bj07bran7 most people don't actually believe in a god, they just go through the motions that organized religions specified for them because their friends and family subscribe and it doesn't even cross their mind to consider an alternative

  • @jvdthwip You have no factual evidence to back up this claim. How do you know what goes on inside people's heads?

  • @bj07bran7 I thought I'd just make a quick comment on this. I don't have any statistics for you, bj07bran7, but just by simple observation you can see there are quite a few religious folk around that don't necessarily follow what they preach. Hell look at the scandal that's been surrounding the Catholic church lately. If people REALLY BELIEVED in god, then why would they act so contrarily?

  • i love videos like this

  • This jaded nihilism sounds like an argument AGAINST atheism...there is no point to life without God, as he demonstrates eloquently. Funny how he doesn't even realize what he's admitting

    Check out my channel everyone. I have a great argument for theism

  • @bj07bran7 Why does there need to be a point to everything? Why can't life just be?

  • @bj07bran7

    Fuck off, no-one gives a shit.

    Just because Gregory House´s life sucks it doesnt mean hes wrong.

  • @bj07bran7 How the hell did you come to that conclusion. Life being meaningless without God doesn't mean God exists, it just means life is meaningless. Hell, it's people like you thatcause a lot of the problems in the world. "Never mind listening to other people's thought, listen to my message!" You have an argument for theism? Awesome, you've proved Atheism wrong. Now what? We can stop caring and go about corporate brain-washing? Gee whizz thanks retard, you saved me!
