@TTDMFfreaknew I always thought Jews would compromise a very large part of the generic yuppies, considering the fact that we are greedy Wall St. lawyers & businessmen.
I'm rich. I'm way better than any of you. Better. Better than you. Me. Better than you. Better. And rich too. Did I mention I'm rich and better too? Yeah. Better. I love myself. See how much better I am? Better?
I can't stand Yuppies. All they do is drive their new BMWs with their gay baseball caps while drinking their Starbucks latte. Then on the weekends they ride their bicycles around with their 2 year old brat in the baby seat in back.
@ryanmshepard92 i think alot of ppl resent yuppies cuz they assume that they were all born with a silver spoon in there mouths, which is only true for some, as well they had the forsight to see a degree in buisness would get them alot farther in life then a philosiphy major
im surprised he didn't mention laser disc VCR's or a cd/player but then i geuss when he said "the boy with the most toys wins" that kinda covers it all eh (N IM NOT FROM CANADA) MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN BREW CITY USA HOME STATE TO YOUR SUPER BOWL 1,2,31 n 45 WORLD CHAMPIONS THE GREEN BAY PACKERS BART STARR, BRETT FAVRE N AARON RODGERS WERE ALL 27 WITH THERE FIRST SUPER BOWL WIN BOTH LATER SUPER BOWLS WERE WON IN THE 5TH YEAR OF TWO COACHES THAT JUST HAPPENED 2 share the 1st name MIKE oooo creepy
I just bought a flat screen, after my 25 year old CRT tube television finally crapped out (due only to a loose power button). I have yet to see if flat screen TVs have the same sort of reliability and longevity. I don't know what the Hell a Mont Blanc or a Burberry is. But I have a Mercedes-Benz, and so did my dad before me who was a Hungarian housepainter who shipped his car over from Europe. Having a good reliable car does not make one a yuppie.
@TheYuppieboy hurt, even with technological advances, the yuppie life is difficult to carry due to the economic crisis, but if you ask me the crisis should be when the money are based on an imaginary value, the yuppie life would be possible and even evolutionary if the money based on gold and silver, and any private bank could manufacture
@TheYuppieboy bullshit. Yuppieism is based on greed and consumerism, instead of caring for the earth and being satistied with the simple things in life.
OH MY GOD! I have spent literally ten years trying to figure out the name of this song and/or find this video again! I was only six when I saw it on Night Flight and had the "Oooh, yup yup yuppie" refrain stuck in my head at least once a day ever since! I am so glad you uploaded this, and congrats on a hilarious and catchy song that's still as relevant today as it was when it was written.
Those of us who KNOW, are laughing at everyone here who is going on about the heartless nature of materialism. It's a pathetic ignorant statement.
If you don't know, then you wish you did. Money isn't evil...people are.
You will never hear people angrily lamenting that they have too MUCH money, but there's no shortage of lazy poor people complaining that they aren't having enough money (and services) handed to them on a gold platter. Fuck that.
Of course, this is discounting all the people who work their fucking asses off every day, two jobs six days a week, and still don't make enough to survive. You're a piece of shit, douchebag.
It's not my fault they didn't go to school, bred ten kids and expected the educated elite to feel sorry for them. Fuck that whole attitude. I'm sick of these free-loaders asking those who stayed on the straight and narrow to play "clean-up, hand-out" duty to all these losers who walk off the beach when the realize the party is over and they wasted it. Boo-fucking-hoo.
Ironic that you're defending these guys, as a self-proclaimed "loser," hahaha, great occupation you fucking cunt.
It is likely I was in the wrong on this one. I took it to mean you meant all poor people are lazy. I'm poor as fuck, and I've worked my ass off (almost literally) for over a decade. I don't want a hand out, just better economic opportunity, but I was born poor and will probably die poor even though I work myself sick and ragged.
I guess I had some harsh words but it's a touchy subject for us ugly losers.
I mentioned nowhere in my comment that I was handed anything on a silver spoon. I was born lower middle class, but have pulled myself out of there. Economic opportunity is what you create for yourself....not waiting for the right job to come your way. Everything I have--my education, job and lifestyle were earned the back-breaking hard way. No hand outs from parents, government etc.
My only beef is with perfectly capable people asking for freebies !
If you get there by your own its totally respectable. I do fucking worship those people. Its ambitious people who "made it" themselfs, talk shit about these people and you're the complete loser..
In the other hand, people who "made it" because of thier father... fuck em all.. fucking kill em.
You are pretty lucky. Almost 20 years after you made this video, and now, you have it on Youtube. That's the kind of status I'd like to reach at some point in my life.
I fail to see how the traits named in the rap are vices. The writer reminds me of the kid in grade school who picks on the kid who gets good grades because his success allows the bully to realize what a fat, talentless loser he is by comparison. If the anti-business bores haven't risen above a 3rd grade mentality that's their own problem.
I agree that the song is a parody on those people who have success. I was the kid who got picked on because I got good grades, sometimes I even got beaten up - but for every time I met resistance it taught me that I was doing the right thing. So, even though I agree with all the thing you say, I have to admit that I actually like this video. Simply because I like the lifestyle and success of the eighties.
Wow! I saw this a while ago under a different poster who had the video's appearance on Night Flight. Really cool to have it posted by the co-creator, thank you Mr. O'Neil! Great video, superb parody, wonderfully satirical (and very catchy) song-would you happen to have an mp3 of it? Coming from a younger generation, the whole yuppie thing seems to be an unfortunate but hilarious relic from the past. Again, thanks for the video. And yeah, there are definitely still many selfish losers out there.
I never thought I'd actually find out this much about the video after all these years, nevertheless, get a message from "the yuppie" himself, haha. I thought it was forever lost in NightFlight heaven. Thank god for youtube. Much better than the old vhs transfer that was posted up last year. Thanks
