Merican - The Descendents

[BamBam123456789ish]

One of the best punk bands out there!

[advgroo]

Love it!

[whitenottrash]

Great track ; sounds like NOFX !

[MoldyLocksWV]

Very nice job!

[dirtykittymew13]

someone should play this loudly outside of a voting booth when people vote for the next president

[whitenottrash]

@dirtykittymew13 Innit mate ! Ditto over here in the U.K for the next prime minister elect !

[dirtykittymew13]

@whitenottrash sweet! lets do this!! >:)

[KiteSwift]

This songs so true

[XPUNKROCFIREFIGHTERX]

Great work with the video!

[Crooked737]

If only the audio was better...

[RadicalKingJames]

Video needs some clips of Sarah Palin.

[girondi1]

RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! screw All Progressive Liberal Commie Pigs

[skatelongboards]

@girondi1 Right on end the feds!!

[BillHicks420]

@girondi1 "Commie" LOL Your laughable rhetoric knows no end

[girondi1]

@BillHicks420 someone sounds like a socialist lol

[BillHicks420]

@girondi1 Someone sounds liek he's jumping to conclusions lol. So because I criticize someone for randomly calling someone a Communists, that makes me a socialist? Haha you guys are laughable

[zzyzx0788]

@girondi1 Yea I'm gonna have to agree with Mr. Hicks here. That was a really stupid comment full of partisan rhetoric. Besides Ron Paul can piss me off anyways, I can stand his black and white views on capitalism and his denial of separation of church and state

[girondi1]

@zzyzx0788 some one drank the kool-aid.

[zzyzx0788]

@girondi1 Yes, because I'm not blindly supporting Ron Paul calling everyone else who disagrees a communist/marxist/socialist/fa­cist.

Grow up

[MrBatManIsAPunk]

Hey if you guys want to figure out another reason that America is going to shit check out this Dick Mastersons channel, I can't wait till I move to Canada.

[MrBatManIsAPunk]

My pride for American isn't excatly spilling over but any chance I get to blow shit up, I'll take it.

[PJMoreau94]

I'm proud and ashamed

Every fourth of july

You got to know the truth

Before you say that you got pride

[619gabacha]

Lol I like the Hillary Clinton shot. She epitomizes America, and that isn't a good thing. (government life and feminism)

[adr1ew]

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

[1unclemel]

Please dont sue...LOL

[Tortureking27]

haha...."please don't sue"

@1:51

[LibertyMike1]

I know I'll get flamed for saying it here, but I don't care. As someone who has listened to punk for years, and cares about the problems America faces domestically and abroad, there is only one person I can support for president of the United States at this time. Someone who is honest and does not fall to corruption or lobbyists, and is serious about bringing our troops home from the Middle East. Ron Paul 2012!

[orangemon1]

Now do one for Silly Girl!

[Dookiebassplayer7]

@DeadbeatHoliday86 Its not gonna solve anything at all:P it could be a morale boost for everybody,not just the americans. nothing more nothing less. it gives the people another Martyr and another reason to fight

[mocknballs]

This is awesome. Well done with the video.

[MrsHolliValo]

Still by far the funniest video ever... I LOVE The Descendents and Milo would laugh his ass off if he saw this! .. KUDOS! -- I always love coming back to this .. I'm posting it to my facebook for all my friends I used to go see them with.. :)

[mariohgh]

the first time i saw the descendants

[GunGalatin]

Hahaha! And to complete the merican song, "please don't sue me"

[MrsHolliValo]

@GunGalatin ROFLMFAO!

[Sythesia]

Man, I loved when the american border guard commented on my 'merican T-shirt. "Hey, son, whats your shirt say?"

"Uhm, Americans are stupid"

Good times.

[AngeloR1220]

Fantastic punk rock song!

From Italy

[ColinTheButthead]

Haha Alex Jones is fucking crazy

[beermeparis]

I am amazed with how damn good this song is compared to the rest of the album.

@ skatelongboards, "some black marks" hah, more like one hideously violent black mark stretching from 1492 to infinity.

[injunloco]

this is my national anthem.

[MrNito414]

great video!

[injunloco]

"im proud and ashamed every 4th of july, you got to know the truth before you say that you've got pride."



Now thats got to be one of the most american things ever said. know your American history and what happened before you say you are proud to be an american.

[skatelongboards]

@injunloco i do and im still pretty proud. every country and people has some faults and some black marks in there history but theres also alot of great things we provided to the world and i like to focus on those things.

[PittsDick77]

Sounds like Bad Religion 

[vaguelyreality]

@PittsDick77 A little

[awhobbleyh]

@PittsDick77 bad religion sounds like the descendents

[turxx666]

@awhobbleyh heh, dont qualify that, aside from both being punk they do not sound alike

[ThaBagle]

I promise I wont sue

[ruggalexander84]

this is my favourite 'merican video.

[ujustluvmydoggystyle]

Mel Gibson is Australian. Good video, though.

[Kevlar281]

@ujustluvmydoggystyle Mel Gibson was born in New York.

[TheGsf19]

Great video! I loved it!

[duvexy]

They just need to read history a bit more. When they do they will feel retarded.

[duvexy]

That is American and what is truth? And, according to who?

[LessThanJayson]

I wanna tell people that there wrong for dissing America but I cannot because it's kinda true what they say. Almost makes me ashamed to be an American. :'(

[215alessio]

@LessThanJayson ah cheer up, europe isn't any better

[OtterpopSlaughterMop]

Hey, hey! Guess what they didn't find in Anna Nichole Smith's toxicology report.

Trimspa! Badumm cha!

[karinlb416]

LOL Alex jones is nuts!!! Has good points but goes to far and is soooo obnoxious sometimes!!!!

[briansjohnson17]

Please dont sue made me laugh. Good job on the vid

[cheeseonamonkey]

where can i get that picture of the sneetches with tanks?

great vid btw.

[TheToolUnit]

This should be America's new national anthem.

[tilidin]

@TheToolUnit Would be a better song than we have, lets talk about a siege that meant nothing and call it something. Atlest this song has soul and means something to all Americans.

[MissEatSleepAnime]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG! i no all the words to it.

[esahrtee83]

i don't think alex jones is an idiot ....rosie yeah but alex at least speaks the truth

[yamon98]

this song rings such truth, i especially like the lyric 'how proud and ashamed every fourth of july.' probably the best slight to America since Springsteen's Born in the USA.

[uberguy44]

My frends uncle is Milo!

[fancybooklearnin]

@uberguy44 My dad's uncle's brother's daughter's ex-boyfriend's roomate's mother's bestfriend knew Milo.

[991545]

@uberguy44 Haha fancybookleaarnin' xD I have a friend that i have for 4th period (In high school, imma senior.:)) His dad's the drummer from Sublime, his name's Daniel, he used to play football (QB) baseball, wrestling..basketball..heck, he played everything haha but his anger towards his dad made him get so many cuncussions and he know can't play anything..:/ He gave a speach about in in 4th period Language arts..can't believe that's his son..

[ihatecardboard]

great video man

[mtpuckhead]

Good job. This song kicks ass!

[kadenTcollette]

Nobody does it like we does

[keepdeathonhold]

i like the Please don't sue at the end

[123topcat]

@niekolas

There from the same era that's why they sound the same but technically descendents did it first

[bets86]

Hmmm yes fuck the USA, except for the few million who get it... ie the descendents

[casualtySR]

so did Greenday base American idiot off of this song.. seems like all popular punk bands rip off the descendents.. just sayin

[niekolas]

@casualtySR they sound like they rip off bad religion sounds the same

[punkrockfan182]

@casualtySR i think there is way more to green day's sound. i love both bands, but more, i love punk rock.

[niekolas]

this is the band fat mike always wears t shirts of? sounds nice

[hatiou1]

Great song, but almost every commenter sounds like a stupid twat.

[paradockz]

Happy Fucking 4th!

[ctachella]

if i ever see those monkey anywhere

im buying um. great vid man

[scruffybob42088]

Why did I not see George W. Bush, He's pretty stupid!

[bigblackdood321]

dont like america ...start a group for change and stop bitching.

so let me go to college and become a scientist so the ignorant can believe all my words much like a god...science contradicts itself a lot with religion.

cool song.

[caltake1]

@bigblackdood321 Eh. You're really contradicting there.

Also, the majority of the youth in America is atheist, me included. Hell, the lead singer of Bad Religion teaches Life Science at UCLA. Perfect example of everything right there.

[MoronMantra]

@caltake1

is they?

[caltake1]

@MoronMantra They is.

[omjurmom96]

First melodic hardcore band :)

[bretadounitedfc]

VERY NICE...COLLEGE PAID OUT FOR MILO

[Paintpro790]

Ah, America. The land of corruption, hypocrisy, mediocrity, and who can forget the big mac. It's a wonder that its the most hated country in the world.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

nice work...I like the picture of Jones right at the first stoopid 'merican line.

[votejello]

I bought the Warped Tour '04 comp for Flogging Molly and found this gem. Goddamn good memories. Except for all the shit bands I had to skip through to get to Bad Religion or The Briggs and what not.. lol

[turxx666]

get a brain moran.... priceless!

[antiracistfaction]

Great video & song.

[panicbabe12]

*snort* Hilrod XD

[Kevkoda]

Thanks Ant :) ..peace

[Kevkoda]

I used to love this band, but this shit video has switched me off for ever. Anyone who doesn't believe that the recent flock of 'terror' incidents are not instigated wholly or in part by respective governments and dark ops is a fool, Rosie O'Donnell has done more for 1st reponders on 9/11 that some shmuck in an edit suite with a juvenile grudge. Wake up!!

[eastsideslayah]

Rosie O'Donnell can suck on my ass hairs

[kevinkoda]

@eastsideslayah...Why, do you not like the truth?

[alboboyo]

0:29 lol

[alboboyo]

i mean 0:28 lol

[Kevkoda]

The inclusion of rosie o'donnel and alex jones? Are you infering they are idiots?

[DickScary]

Yes. Yes I was.

[OptimusPrimeX]

@DickScary .. why alex jones ?

[rickface13]

@DickScary dude i dont know if you've checked out my vid for "Cradle to the grave" but you should ..( both parts man so you hear the whole song )

[kevinkoda]

@DickScary ...then you truly ARE a DICK

[CasualDude]

@DickScary : indeed they are idiots

[antstep1030]

@Kevkoda yes.

[MoronMantra]

@Kevkoda

imply -he folded it in (that they were idiots).

infer - you drew it out (that they were idiots).

see Dennis Quaid in DOA if this difference makes no sense to you.

[kevinkoda]

@MoronMantra ...WHAT YOU ON ABOUT?

[DoctorSess]

@Kevkoda they are idiots...and traitors.

[mhaneline]

@DoctorSess how is alex jones a traitor? he may be annoying as hell, but he does promote some good ideologies. he has some of the best guests of any talk radio show i've heard.

[DoctorSess]

@mhaneline alex jones is a shill. everyone's drowning in disinformation.

[mhaneline]

@DoctorSess it's easy to say a thing, but it's much more difficult to provide substantiated evidence supporting it. Please, do so.

[DoctorSess]

@mhaneline observe him. he's either literally a shill or just a misguided sad little man who means well but does more harm than good. don't get me wrong he speaks a lot of truth but it's the way he presents it. he's a fear monger. the most effective disinformation is mostly truth with one drop of lies added in undetected. "operation mockingbird"...do your own homework, don't take my word for it.

[mhaneline]

@DoctorSess If I hear one more retard spouting "do your own homework" without offering a shred of substantiated evidence, I just might... well I don't know. I guess there's nothing I can do but ignore and move on. Moving on..

[DoctorSess]

@mhaneline "Operation Mockingbird was a secret Central Intelligence Agency campaign to influence domestic and foreign media beginning in the 1950s." -Wikipedia the most trusted source on the interwebs ;-D the CIA/NSA's favorite method of stopping a resistance is infiltration and subversion. Psych Warfare at it's finest, that's what all these con theories are...Jones is a sheepskin wolf.

[mhaneline]

@DoctorSess substantiated evidence or it's just slander.

[DickScary]

@mhaneline Alex Jones is famous for saying "Look it up yourself"....then pointing you to his website, or some other random blogger for conformation. When he points out real news websites, he's already told you what to think about the article, which is usually a twisted, fear-induced take on the reality of the story.

[mhaneline]

@DickScary To be fair, the majority of the time he tells you to look something up, it's either an actual published piece of legislature, or it's a mainstream news article from AP/Reuters/etc. I would rather he point something out and give his opinion on it, than not point it out and be unaware that it even exists. We're all responsible to think for ourselves. Even though AJ may not be right 100% of the time and gets worked up over stuff, he's still pointing out shit that we should all look at.

[carroln]

@Kevkoda They are self serving, selfish assholes who will use any influence they have to push their personal agendas.

[RockstarRacc00n]

@Kevkoda Eveeryone is an idiot.

[turxx666]

@Kevkoda he implied, you inferred

[Alexrowsell]

aWesome Song!!!!!!!

[Halo2nothing11111]

Not just America, the whole human race is fucked up. Sometimes I wonder what the Earth would be like without us and the answer is a whole lot better!

[moistphily]

@Halo2nothing11111 so right

[pika247]

@Halo2nothing11111 Yeah, I think the Dinosaurs would still do a better job ruling this planet instead of us, oh wait they did, they were around for 165 million years and were the most successful group of animals to ever live. We've been around for a meager 10000 years and we're already screwing our planet over. You're right, this song should apply to the majority of humans, not just us Americans. In fact, human trafficking is a form of slavery, and America's not the only participant.

[Halo2nothing11111]

@pika247 Ha Ha, damn right! And it's interesting that you bring that up. Some scientists think that if the dinosaurs hadn't died but humans still evolved, the Velociraptor would probably be the dominant species on this planet, not Humans. The question there would be would they be better than us? Do I need to even answer?

[chargerfan80]

Politics always seems to find its way into every body's music. The Descendents are no different, but they do it in a way that only the Descendents can do it. These guy's know how to write amazing songs. Always will be my favorite band.

[WeaselHalfbreed]

Great video man! Sums up my sentiments exactly....I'm proud and ashamed at the same time. And indeed, you've got to know the truth before you say that you've got pride. Thanks, DS.

[folkrockman]

Descendents. Best band ever!

[lewistheclark]

I always want this song to be at least three minutes longer!

[admiralzoog]

USA! USA! USA! USA!

[butcherry45]

stupid pictures you fail at making videos

[zombiefaith]

Make a better video or shut up.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@zombiefaith hey just looked at your videos....mouth.

[xde0mega]

this guys voice sounds a lot like the bad religion guy.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@xde0mega uhmmm look up the dates these two bands formed then retract this comment. Like saying bill cooper ripped of alex jones.

BR ripped these guys, as did NOFX, but at least fat mike admits it.

[xde0mega]

@NOmeansnoFAN the descendents only started playing about 2 years before bad religion. but, that's besides the point. i wasn't saying anyone ripped anyone off. i was just stating the fact that these two guys sound a lot alike.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@xde0mega have you ever been to a BR show? I payed $30 and they played 1 long set and left...no encore nothing. New Maps of Hell is a waste of money and I hope they pick it up on the new album. I can read, it was me who stated BR ripped off the descendents. I would be shocked if Mr Brett and Graffin did not see the descendents before they acquired their sound.

[RebelAlliance91]

@cheekywun america is the Continent not the United States!

[serbdetritus182]

yup i agree with the comment that america is a continent. but that had to be noticed a few centuries ago, but no one cared when US took the monopoly over that name then. its too late now.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@serbdetritus182 They named it that because of manifest destiny.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@RebelAlliance91 well I am Canadian and when i say 'mericans are fat and dumb I am not talking about us, nor mexicans

[turxx666]

great song, great video

[yescharliesurfs]

Awesomeness embodied

[custodianofanarchy]

Wow. The Descendants are almost 100% apolitical, but when they finally write a political song, its a bombshell like this one.

[jdmdrift]

@cheekywun you must me an American, its not a race retard, its a nationality.

[JugglingG]

we is not

[Teetee33]

Mel Gibson was born and lived the first 10or so years of his life in New York. Then the family packed up and headed for Oz. He's one of us, I'm afraid, lol.

Descendents still spreadin' the good word. Righteous...

[Halo2nothing11111]

Sadly they're right. "Sigh"

[Thrice13]

Gotta love the belt buckle at 0:10!

[admiralzoog]

hell yaa USA USA

[voodoo771]

haha i totally forgot about this band, i was wondering why they sounded familiar, then i remembered i used to listen to them

[rickface13]

lol kickass job on the video

[dataslul]

In all fairness, Mel Gibson is just another stupid Australian.

[skitzey]

aye and he tried 2 be a scottish cunt in braveheart ! wank stain... lol

[cheekywun]

@dataslul sorry mate he is American, check your facts - he was born there, so another stupid American.... fuck there is so many stupid Americans!!!! Is there such a thing as a smart America???

[NNYownz]

@cheekywun such insults from a country founded by the criminals and rejects of england. no but yeah australia is cool... i mean you sure helped out the world a number of times...well maybe not but i mean you have a decent sized army...ummm you guys have a neat tennis tournament?

[skatelongboards]

@NNYownz u do know that australia was also foudned by rejects and criminals?the british were sending criminals untuill Australia so a lto of australians are descended from those criminals.

[NNYownz]

thats what i was saying

[admiralzoog]

smarter than you. ya prick

[salinagrrrl69]

Dick Scary Great film - music - n messaage.

[axledogs]

Very Very Good.

[roboimp]

this is my favorite descendents song

[python13324]

love this song! funny pics too, lol

[Teetee33]

Nothing less than I expect from the mighty Descendents. Bam!

[sk8rpunks1313]

Great job !!!

[theartofnotbeingseen]

yes ! yes ! oh god, yes ! this is IT !

[captainclayman]

they should play this at baseball games.

[OriginalityImpaired]

i've been looking through "punk" bands all night, stumbled across this, THIS is finally some motherfuckin' punk
