  • One town's stand against twilight...

  • they may have vampires. ...again? O.o

  • They say it smell like garlic but all of the people interviewed say that it smells like weed or skunk. None of these things smell the same.

  • Have american people really never smelt garlic before? Do you fat bastards even cook?

  • @The1stPoster of course, how else would they get fat?

  • personally i have no trouble believing they haven't had vampires since they put the garlic in

  • again?

  • Lawndale has always had kind of a funky smell to it... it used to be straight weed, now it's somewhat masked... in all honesty it was either garlic or Axe, and Axe doesn't need any more publicity. I say let it stay, it still smells better than downtown, LAX, Inglewood and Hawthorne just to mention a few places nearby...

  • Why would it cost so much to get rid of them? Just get a few shovels and some convicts.

  • It's a lame, old guy joke, but he's joking, of course. These guyss are just too young to see it (one of the "benefits" of getting older lol). Anyway, they could probably yank up all the damn garlic plants and still be okay, if they're like most other small towns across America, they've got plenty of christian churches around with giant crosses on their steeples, and that should be enough to keep the undead outta town LOL.

  • @jerico641 Unfortunately for Jerico641, his senility first manifested itself when he was 12.

  • @jerico641 Wait until the zombies come. Churches will not say you from the horde of the walking dead. ;)

  • @Chaoitcme

    Yeah, well, just remember to aim for the head lol...

  • This Ramsey guy looks like he smells like something worse than garlic. He looks like a smelly old fart. HaHa!

  • Ramsey doesn't want the vampires because he's actually evil little trol, and the viampires would give him competition.

  • weed keeps us safe from vampires :>

  • I'm caling bull sh*t. They'res no such thing. Just because a person thurst for blood doesn't mean a vampire. Just because a person has superficial things doesn't mean a thing. They may have some kind of eating deficentcy.

  • The guy who is smelling the plant is cute lol

  • Ana is so fucking beautiful

  • He is not serious, ive met and talked with guy on numerous ocassions and he is very sarcastic. Very cool guy.

  • He's kidding, it's obvious. He should be a comedian.

  • lol this was on failblog

  • Why don't they just harvest the garlic and sell it. At least make some money off the problem.

  • He just made lawndale Look Dumb.

  • hahahaha he's actually serious!!!!!lol

  • Lisa : Thats like me saying this rock keeps tigers away.

    Homer: How does it work?

    Lisa: It doesn't! its just a stupid rock...but do you see any tigers round here?

    Homer: Lisa I would like to purchase your rock.

  • yah hes kidding...ok...move along

  • Garlic smells like chronic? Wa?

  • I would have LOVED to be in that central planning meeting. Yeah, we're gonna redevelope the city, how can we do that? I KNOW, lets fill all the central reservations with garlic plants!

  • the guy was just bein funny :)

  • I used to live near Gilroy, there's nothing wrong with your town smelling like garlic.

  • whats the scientific name for the plant?

  • I think the Leprechaun is kidding.....

  • I cant believe people can´t distinguish fiction from reality! There is no such things as vampires! GROW UP PEOPLE!

  • Maybe he means bats?

  • There is no such thing as vampires. If someone thinks they are a vampire then they have watched too many vampire movies.

  • The guy was obviously being heavily sarcastic. He wasn't serious at all, he was just indicating his displeasure with the farce of the plants being there in the first place by one-upping the level of absurdity. I can't believe Cenk actually thought the dude was being serious.

  • @enigmatically

    hahha I agree, the mayor was probably so pissed that he has to spent 35 th. $ to remove plants he dicided to go up a notch..

  • That guy's an idiot. Everyone knows that vampires only come out at night. So of course he's not going to see any when it's bring and sunny outside.

  • I LOVE the dude who says it smelled like chronic. Hell yeah!

    Also, I can't believe it would cost $35,000 to remove those lame-ass plants. They should just let the frustrated citizens rip them out!

  • That seems high. I bet that if they gave me $35k I could hire some illegals to get them removed for a couple grand and pocket the rest.

  • "just let the frustrated citizens rip them out! "

    i lol'd

  • Ana "Maybe they're trying to provide some balance"

    Love it!

  • obvious joke

  • A vamp bit me on my penis in Mexico

  • wouldnt be so bad if it smelled like weed =P

  • Haha... all you need is some fire to burn them all down.

  • but then you'd ave the smell of burnt garlic all over town.

  • That guy would be great on FOX News. The guy can say some crazy ass bullshit with a straight face.

    :P

  • He should be a poker player.

  • yea

  • How dare that mortal break the masquerade. He must be someone's ghoul!

  • @lamran2010 is that a vampire the masquerade joke? lolz u da best. im prolly the only person who got that.

  • yay ana

  • it smells like weed...chronic... Don't get rid of them I'd love to live in a town that smells like pot

  • smells like weed...like chronic.

  • good anaysis from Cenk

  • Make Ana laugh more! LOL!

  • Hey, it's a problem. For all we know, this is the town (Santa Carla) that 'The Lost Boys' was based on.

  • Ever been to Roanoke Rapids, N,C.?

    By comparison,

    I'm sure the garlic plants smell sweeter than sugar.

    It's all relative.

  • He's totally joking about the vampires.

  • why did they plant them in the first place, it is an ugly plant.

  • @dammee

    I was thinking the exact same thing lol.

  • i call bullshit

  • LMFAO smell like weed XD

  • California is filled with community minded volunteers. A couple of six foot heroes and a few cases of cold drinks (around $500) and people will be out in force to clear the plants. Of course the vampires will be back but then Hot Topic can enjoy increased profits.

  • Haha so many funny parts to this news piece, you don't even know where to start.

  • I think the councilman was kidding. Why not use inmates or people who need to do community service to dig up the plants? Seems it would be cheaper to do it that way.

  • Hey Anna

    Nice clothes for vampier talks.

  • Hey, if there are no vampires, do you really want to risk taking them out?

  • Plants? They look like FUCKING WEEDS!!!

    Who the hell would plant this? Wonder if you can bottle it and use it as a repellent.

  • $35,000.00 to remove? Considering the already burdened tax payers in that state I say live with it. And if worse comes to worst at least it's something to eat. And rubbing it on you keeps fleas away. So there's that.

  • Lol smells like CHRONIC. LMFAO. Gonna move there.

  • LOL the best part is the reporter towards the end saying, "we all know the myth that garlic keeps us safe from vampires."

    Haha, it's like he acknowledges the existence of vampires, but denies that garlic can protect you.

  • I don't think I quite understand... I've grown garlic. It smells like garlic. It doesn't smell like skunk or marijuana or anything like that.

    Whatever, even if people wanted to get rid of them, why not just pull up the garlic and use it? Free garlic isn't enough impetus?

  • his whole quote includes. "Joke. Just a joke."

  • If this is Lawndale where's Daria? She's still off to college?

  • I think she probably got a job and stayed in Boston. Jane might be back in town, though.

  • I live in Lawndale California and ..those plants really really smell bad =/... ive only seen em in hawthorne blvd .....i live a block away from where the vid was taken! =D

  • "Smells like Skunk" "Smells like weed" DAMN that city is full of addicts

  • i know people are like he can't be serious about the vampires but why have them planted in the first place?

  • 1:33 If that dude's chronic smells like garlic he's paying too much.

  • Garlic is awesome. Americans are fucking crazy, how is this newsworthy?!

  • Garlic smells nice, but rotting garlic doesn't. Get your facts straight before you start making jokes about entire countries.

  • Yeah, sorry, Americans make a big enough joke of themselves all on their own. I really should leave it up to the professionals.

  • I see your from Canada and I''m sure you know your country would be nothing with out America. We buy most of your exports. Snow and maple syrup.

  • your a goof

  • Ad hominem attacks on youtube. Who would have guessed it?

  • what's wrong with garlic? in oregon, there's a three day festival commemorating it.

  • hes joking

  • First they say thousands to plant em, then they say millions P: geh-h-eh

  • He was joking. That was my first thought when I heard they wanted to get rid of garlic plants: "They'll be sorry when the vampires take over."

  • Easy, he was joking

  • This plant is called society garlic and is very common in San Diego landscapes too.

  • when i saw this story i thought it was about gilroy, ca. that whole town smells like garlic lol.

  • He's joking. No question.

  • Garlic may protect Lawndle from vampires, but what are they going to do about werewolves? :D

  • SMELLS LIKE WEED? Dude, i want those plants in my town.

  • Thats the only way to get vampires away.Once thy remove those. Dick Cheney will be all over that place.

  • @jxsilicon9

    LMAO

  • @jxsilicon9 Dick Cheney is a zombie, not a vampire. I think all vampires are offended by your statement. Have you ever seen Dark Shadows? You don't want that Barnabas guy pissed at you, believe you me. That Twilight guy may just sparkle at you, so that's not an issue, but what about Damon Salavatore from The Vampire Diaries? That Somerhalder cat's kinda scary.

  • Sounds like the whole town is Smokin some Good Shit, cause theyre all talkin outta their asses...especially the black dude "it smells Chronic" LMAO!

  • "Smells like weed, like chronic" Ha, ha, ha!  What chronic has this guy been smelling. The chronic I've smelled in my lifetime doesn't smell like garlic. Ha, ha, ha!

  • no, I think this guy is being serious!

  • If it could keep the Twilight movies out of their town, it might be worth it.

  • they picked a right time to put them in when the vamp craze we have goin on now

  • That old guy rocks!

  • The Brother on there cracked me up the most (probably because he reminded me of my guy Chill). "Smells like weed, like chronic." Epic!

  • Only in Califo... oh nvm... I am there... we have even worse: A garlic festival each year in Gilroy! 5/5

  • I'd live there! No fucking Twilight freaks, hopefully!

  • @stevenaudet pwned

  • No humor in his voice whats so ever but he has to be joking

  • AHAHAHAHAHAAH SMELLS LIKE WEED! the black guy.... XD

  • I'm not going to mince words here.

    People who believe that vampires exist are IDIOTS. The sheer ignorance of basic biology alone required to entertain the notion of a vampire being real is MIND BOGGLING.

    You are an IDIOT. You don't have to remain an idiot - crack a book, learn some elementary science and critical thinking skills, and develop a coherent, consistent thought process. My guess? You won't do anything of this. You will remain an idiot.

  • That old man was deadly serious. He probably just finished watching Twilight and was horrified at the prospect of those undead pedophile girly men invading his town.

  • I would be concerned, too.

  • How on earth can they justify that ammount of money to simply weed a garden? Am I missing something?

  • that old man is definitely trolling

  • He's kidding. If you look closely, you'll see he gets a smirk on his face after he says "..we may have vampires again." I like the "smells like chronic" guy.

  • vampires? Weed? WTF are u serious hahahahahahahahahahaha

  • seriously thts wat i was thinking

    which side are they onnnn

  • of coooooourrrrse, he's kidding. he just isn't funny.

    lmao!!! "smells like weed, chronic". you're kidding right? first of all dude, your on tv, secondly... wtf you been smoking???

    lol, "skunk" weed.

    cenk is hilarious, "thirty - five - thousand dollars!" the best was his idea that the garlic will attract sight seers, (or smellers) to the town and it'll be a boon for commerce. then they can afford to take the garlic out. but will they want to?

  • He said "if they take them out, we may have vampires AGAIN". seriously... WTF

  • LOL!!!!! He said he has not seen one ever since the garlic was planted... ahahaha

  • Y'know, ever since I got this new watch, I haven't seen any tigers...

    This thing's been keeping me safe for years!

  • LMAO 1:28

    "smells lyk weed. chronic"

  • He's joking. Take it from someone who acts serious when I joke myself. lol Funny old dude.

  • Society garlic is not a true garlic, but rather a distant relative. It is common in ornamental plantings and does not smell bad unless you break the foliage or stick your nose in the flower. That is my guess on what the plant is.

  • 2:09 listen to his wording!

    He has turned a joke into a joke.

    Very witty man.

  • LMAO......what if, he is serious?.......LMAO

  • 35 grand... if they are all over town and it's in california, then that is not a big deal of money for a town.. they will probably be happier without them.

    But oh my god, that black dude was awesome!! 420 ftw!

  • What idiot decided to plant garlic?!

    Yeah, he's joking. It is California, but he was too rational to be one of the nut jobs. Or a government representative.

  • When the reporter said "but is it worth..." I thought he was still talking about the vampires, as in "is this smell worth keeping the vampires away?"

    And I love how that dude implied that back-in-the-day there was some kind of big vampire problem the city had to deal with and only the ol' timers remember... Yeah, probably weren't too many survivors is why no one else seems to remember... Same reason people keep caming at crystal lake.

  • the guys is either kidding, or he is a redneck, cause only a redneck can tolerate the garlic smell, even vampires cant, and they get repelled by the smell.

  • oh i totally think he's kidding his face kindave falters a little.

  • 35 grand? just go over them with a lawn mower. it'll probably smell really bad for a while but then it'll go away...

  • 35 thousand dollars just to remove plants?! there are people who have worse jobs and dont get aid as much. ilegal imigrants could do that job in one day. they do harder work than removin plants

  • fuck ads

  • Cali is on a downward spiral of idiocy

  • only pure garlic has an effect on vampires.

    they are severely allergic to Garlic.

    I am telling the truth,this is not a myth about actual vampires.

    there are plenty of myths.

    that they actually grow fangs,that they can change into bats,the only way to kill them is a stake through the heart and sunlight turns them into ashes in seconds.

    one of those is a half truth.a Vampires skin Blisters more easily in the sun light.

    but yes Vampires are Real,but there's a ton of Hollywood Unfounded bullshit.

  • @MidgetKong haha moron

  • @sukivan27

    do me a favor.try to meet the lead singer of Morbid Angel.

    he's a legit Vampire.

    you might not believe in vampires but I know they exist.Hollywood adds a whole bunch of bullshit to the actual real thing.

    and if your wondering,Vampires are Mortal and they can be killed the same way as any regular person.now you my friend might not have gotten around to see some of the underbelly of the Occult workings around us.

  • You're a grade A moron, y'fucking living joke. Kill yourself now before you embarrass yourself and your family further, you fucking unutterably gullible cretin.

  • @nilbud

    says the person who's never done any further study of the occult than half-assed white witch shit.

    read some higher books in the occult,read their doctrines.

    how many people have you known that were deeply involved in the occult?

    and suggesting someone kill themselves over knowing or believing in Vampires and has an understanding of the occult because I used to be a practitioner of Luciferian and left hand path magick.

    so congratulations.you took the red pill and your mind will sleep.

  • You're a dupe, a gullible nonsense lover with no faculty of judgement. You could be persuaded to believe practically anything. You can't tell the difference between fact and opinion. Apparently you can't tell the difference between fact and fiction either.

    Don't you ever wonder why you feel the need to add extra bits to your life? Maybe you should change your life instead of trying to add bits on.

  • smells like chronic hahahahha

  • FUCK TWILIGHT!!!!

    total awesome randomness

  • y on earth does it cost 35000$ to remove those plants wow lol

  • shit give me 15k and ill pull all them out by hand!

  • vampires! lmao

  • He delivers his lines like a pro comedian, perfect timing. Obvious joker is obvious.

  • This dude is totally kidding.

  • I'm glad I don't live there. I'm allergic to garlic.

  • He's either nuts, or really good at dry delivery.

  • Damn, those tits of Ana looks so GOOOD!!!

  • He was joking.

  • Comment removed

  • AWESOME! I'd pay $35,000.xx to bring vampires to town! lol

  • The old man was referring back to the classic "elephant fence" joke.

  • Well the Hell Mouth is in California, I don't blame them.

  • that council man reminds me of Major West of family guy

  • Major?

  • shit if it smells like weed then i dont mind it

  • I'll remove the damn things myself for half the price.

  • No wonder Ann Coulter never goes to Lawndale.

  • lmfao "sniff it"

  • why pay 35.000? just allow people to remove them if they are bothered by them.

  • LMAO, I used to Work in Lawndale CA at a local record store many years ago. I think it's a Big and Tall store now.

    I think somebody's seen s few too many episodes of Buffy and Angel!

  • I don't know how many joints you have to smoke to confuse the smell of garlic to the smell of weed but boy would I love to try.

  • I was just thinking that.. Maybe his buddies just convinced him that garlic is weed and they're selling him bags of it for crazy prices ;)

  • @megamarsvin

    ROFL

    suddenly it all ads up now.

  • @megamarsvin another woman said it smelled like a skunk, which smells like really good weed, which i actually like that smell now.

  • @altoid2k4

    no matter how skunky my weed has ever smelled it has never even come close to the smell of garlic.

  • You misunderstood lol, they didn't say the particular smell was garlic, the one lady said it smelled like a skunk, and the dude said it smelled like weed, which smells like a skunk sometimes. I think they must either be talking about two different smells or the garlic plants smells like skunks which in turn smells like weed, I think I've way over analyzed this lol

  • LOL

    I think we are both way over analyzing this

  • I think mega is right, the dude's been smoking garlic.

  • its not a stereotype if its true

  • holyshit that was hilarious....

    "smells like weed...like cronic"

    Can you say sterotype?

  • Sunnydale, California! 8D

  • The councilmen must of had alot of drugs in his system to think vampires really exist.
