"Meaning of Life" - "People are not wearing enough hats"

[irrastrategy]

Gabe Newell's Development team!

[TheZking47]

@irrastrategy

THEY'RE ONTO US!

FUCK HL3, LETS WADDLE THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!

[acidrain92]

I wish this video had a ratings bar so that I could like it :C

[MrPainkiller616]

Meanwhile at Valve...

[DinoJake]

They totally sound like british dudes doing crappy american accents.

[AcidFlashback321]

@DinoJake no shit

[DinoJake]

@AcidFlashback321 Well, of course there's no shit in this video. It's about british dudes doing crappy american accents.

I thought I made that quite clear in my last comment.

[MrZonealarm]

@DinoJake no shit dude..

[DinoJake]

@MrZonealarm OF COURSE there's no shit in this video! I'm watching the video and there is no excrement of any kind to speak of.

Why are you people pointing out the obvious......

[haxor758]

@DinoJake @AcidFlashback321 @MrZonealarm American accents?? how is that even possible what the fuck? unless you live in the south or all the way on the east coast.. thats fucking impossible

[MenwithHill]

Meanwhile, at Valve...

[BatmanOneOhOne]

"Which brings us once again to the urgent realization of just how much there is still left to own."

Haha Perfect.

[frithar]

Eric's American accent was almost perfect...

[killertaco97]

@frithar until he said "Agender"

[frithar]

@killertaco97  Exactly! LOL

[frithar]

@frithar Oh, wait-- that wasn't Eric-- "Agender" was someone else. Eric was at the end. I think Eric's downfall was the word "distracted"... GC seems to be the "agender" dude.

[cronoscum]

looks like a Brit was interested in the fourth way. once observed, even if our energy did turn into a soul. what happens then and what would be the point? Gurdjieff is probably insane and kept his students running in circles. for real enlightenment look up nisargadatta.

[RoxasNaoCi]

Thumbs up if you think it's Valve's meaning of life.

[fighterSC1]

How many hats, exactly?

42

[cdmaster35]

@fighterSC1 there is 42 kinds of hats 42 kinds of jokes 42 kinds of marketing strategy 42 kinds of souls and 42 kinds of games

[solarion33]

look for the "Fourth Way"



[daddyboom1]

So that's why episode 3 isn't out yet.

Valve is too busy discussing what a soul is and battling off pirates sent by EA.

[DaAznThug]

@daddyboom1 EA scums

[AGrayPhantom]

@daddyboom1 They're battling them off, WITH HATS!

[MenwithHill]

Meanwhile at Valve...

[vinzer72banned]

oh god that was epic

[ajgolfer1]

eric idle has a good American accent

[randogg1133]

0:37-1:09. It has to be spelled out for people. And they still can't see it. Yes, it is a waste of most peoples time.

[zabalv15]

"With reference to your second point about souls becoming easily distracted...As anyone noticed that building before?"

HAHAHA best line!!!

[wakalakawaka]

TF2 in a nutshell

[unicorn187]

It this true?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gonegang95]

lol at all the TF2 comments...

for those who've never played team fortress 2 basically it was a good game, then they ruined it with hats.

[LesboPonyArmageddon]

@gonegang95 Oh no! Cosmetic items that don't change gameplay at all? RUINDE

[kris9031998]

@LesboPonyArmageddon I think he means the fact that some people play SOLELY for the hats and trading.

[DatHarry]

0:33 meanwhile at valve.

[Disobeyedtoast]

meanwhile at valve....

[Heurvert]

I like how disgusted Matt Frewer looks with Michael Palin.

Geez, it took me three viewings to get everything he was saying.

[Pwells1]

How could you leave out the pirates coming back! That's the best part!

[tierra12370]

I can't believe that people are not wearing enough hats?!!

[acau77]

meanwhile, in Team Fortress 2 headquarters....

[zytigon]

For a superbly witty, good humoured look at the meaning of life try ,' The reason driven life' by top author Robert M. Price.

Also authors John W. Loftus, Dan Barker, Valerie Tarico, Victor J. Stenger on youtube

[h4mster906]

The building was EA origin

[harvmiester1]

Wait, didn't they just get distracted by the material matter of hat-wearing-

....

Oooooohhhh...

[HerrJohann72]

They left out the skyscraper pirates part!

[MrPotatoslayer]

HENCE: VALVE.

[pikupz]

THEN VALVE WAS BORN

[skiIler]

Its was a valve meeting

[WolfDemonProductions]

It was then that Valve decided that there must be hats... hats everywhere...

[CelticMarauder69]

I know Valve is funny, but there better be people commenting on 'this' movie rather than the valve take on it.  ....Has anyone noticed that building there before?

[zeldaking320]

MEANWHILE AT VALVE

[levipwndHD]

so this is how it looks to work at valve..? NICE.. doing nothing and talk shit... NICE..SSSSSSSS

[PlanckLimit]

lol what's with the building at the end? :D

[CelticMarauder69]

@PlanckLimit It's the 'Crimson Permanent Assurance' from Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Watch the movie.

[illegalwaffles]

meanwhile at valve...

[MrMedic8]

@illegalwaffles And apperently SEGA is moving thier HQ next to VALVe's because THEY need help with the meaning of life.

Simple... Sonic... Baseball cap...

Tails... Hardhat...

And so on.

[buffer545]

Team Fortress 2 in a nutshell.

[ShaxxX1000]

The energys are the Unsual Hats xD (TEAM FORTRESS 2)

[santasia14]

These British actors are trying so hard to do an American accent, you can hear it.

[Jam50000z]

@santasia14

thats the point...

[santasia14]

@Jam50000z I know.

[DarkirStudios]

I disagree with the first point; sometimes good things come from men without hats.

Safety Dance, for example.

[Rakonas]

@DarkirStudios

But in the video, they are, in fact, wearing hats.

[ApplausableGuy]

valve watched this video and created tf2...

[PeekayTom]

@ApplausableGuy Actually, TF2 has been around for longer than this. But, the hat update came after. Still counts!

[AlienAngel112]

@PeekayTom Actually TF2 was made in 2007, and the Meaning of Life in 1983.

[PeekayTom]

@AlienAngel112 I was talking about the youtube video in general but I guess I derp'd.

[LaughJester9000]

@PeekayTom Do you honestly think that tf2 is older than MONTY PYTHON? monty python has been around since 1969, tf2 2007.

[PeekayTom]

@LaughJester9000 I remember a similar comment being made about this, so i'll just repeat myself.

I looked at this VIDEO, made on May 23, 2008, and made this comment. I tend to be literal with most comments so I took it as "this video".

[LaughJester9000]

@PeekayTom My apologies.

[PeekayTom]

@LaughJester9000 Oh, it's no problem at all. Sorry if I seemed to explode back at you.

[PuniperTV]

TF2 in a nutshell

[Samwd1]

@PuniperTV

damn straight

[Nothefaceyoubitch]

I think all the comments debating spirituality should refer to the first point- people aren't wearing enough hats.

[Blarghurface]

Oh for the love of fuck, there's another spiritual conversation about religion n' stuff just because "Meaning of Life" was in the title. I'm done here.

[Clivepom]

The idiot below has missed to god damn point.

[Yaklich]

Meanwhile, at Valve...

[Randomjeiku]

@robin4good No proof thats the case.

[robin4good]

your existence is proof, this magnificent creation is, the very well know men (prophets), with miracles and scriptures are, the Quran is, your consciousness, your soul, sustenance, air, winds etc are. look around you - that is all proof that no atheist has so far answered for, but only Allah (Glory is He). You can choose to ignore, you can choose to be stubborn, but surely you did not exist 100yrs back, and will surely die, be brough back just like this once to answer for this. Think bro. Thanks

[rosepetal34]

@robin4good this is a monty python video = your argument is invalid 

[Randomjeiku]

@robin4good Well I dont believe that unless i here and see him say that. thats how it works, expect me to believe something with little proof of its physical (or other worldly) existence expect an impossible request.

[Randomjeiku]

@robin4good That being said im not saying their isnt a god, I just dont see the point in believing in "a" religions god because what if its false ? surely it would be better to view something and not outright deny it and accept the possibility of it rather than believing something your entire earthly life and then finding out it wasnt real. Also im not outright speaking about Islam, im talking about religion in general.

[robin4good]

I appreciate your sincerity and good nature. many people are quick to reject something before they give it any chance. I wish you all the best in your endeavour to seek, study and find the truth. I have found it in Islam (Surrender to God's Will), and I hope you do too seek the truth in your own ways and read the Quran. As long as you believe in God, then you're so far safe, and only thing you need is ask: If God Has created me, then for what purpose? and where is the evidence for it? Thanks.

[bahbcat]

@robin4good We were all created to wear hats. Do you have yours on?

[ShadowArecus]

@bahbcat lmao i'm actually wearing a hat while i'm watching this

[ignas1130]

@robin4good I hope you choke on a million dicks.

[robin4good]

@ignas1130 - I wish you wake up from your nightmares someday. take care my brother.

[velociraptor7814]

@robin4good >implying god

[v1s10naryman]

This is one of the most insightful and astute comic sketches I've ever seen.

[goose1212343]

And thus TF2 was invented.

[DHGameStudios]

@goose1212343 You mean Hat fortress 2?

[jelenabuda]

<3

[BobxRawks]

Then TF2 was made...

[inawarminister]

@BobxRawks Check _kMdNkAcQx8

[mlongpre100]

they have nailed the meaning of life! the spiritual soul is not inate, it must be cultivated by intence introspection and effort but people dont do that because they are easily distracted by the latest gadget ; they look outward instead if inward because its easier. and they dont wear enough hats!

[smilemore71]

I really wish i could've read all those.

[JGRoblox23]

Meanwhile at roblox headquarters...

[gruntythe1andonly]

@JGRoblox23 Exactly.

[JesterLeafnose]

Meanwhile at EA...

[drewerd15]

hehehehehe agender....

No one else likes Meaning of Life, but its my favorite Monty Python movie because its the one that got them closest to the original TV show.

[SaladofStones]

Pictured here: Valve's secret meeting.

[stfwho]

I now know what I must do with my life. I must wear more hats.

[MartialRulerMaster]

Eric's american accent is soooo cute!

[changeling172]

haha I love their not-quite-perfect american accents!!!

[PacifistKiwi]

The Gaben will save us

[frogspasm2000]

"Some energies have a spiritual sauce..."

[MrSonofsonof]

"Due to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia"

Trivia like the crappy accents. Here we have a guy trying to explain the difficulties in the development of the soul and spirituality, and you're all banging on about his dodgy accent.

Shame they never dealt with the hat issue in greater depth, although I fear that the posing of the question "for what purpose?" would simply lead us to the conclusion that absurdity is the default state of the universe.

[EOCB]

you know, this is what Europeans think you Americans are like...

[SpyTF2Medic]

@EOCB Instead of perpetuating the stereotype of Americans, I will instead bring up a point. By you saying this, you aren't any better than "us" Americans.

[EOCB]

@SpyTF2Medic ...it was sort of implied that I already knew that...

[EmergeAzureThunder]

@EOCB

You know, this is why us Americans don't wear enough hats.

[Kross2099]

@EOCB

...it's pretty accurate, really. I mean the talk of spirituality was a bit of an over statement, but spot on about the bit on hats. 

[halomidgetman]

All of them with American accents is uncanny

[Abracamoron]

uhh, they cut the video right when the Crimson Permanent Assurance comes in

oh well, still funny though

[Klinkerklunk]

I think it's funny hearing Brits doing American accents. Everyone sounds kind of American but in a way that does sound fake and unnatural. The only one who briefly blanks my mind and has the deliverance and proper tonality is Eric Idle at the end.

[Kyoshiprower]

Okay, the only thing I can say about this clip is th- Wait, since when did keyboards have two shift keys?

[jdelphin]

@Kyoshiprower

LOL good one!!!!

[milkminotaur]

@haxbuster

Ah, someone from the Colonies. Yes, 'berk', used here in the motherland to note someone as a fool, a tit ,et al.

[milkminotaur]

@haxbuster

It's a piss take, berk.

[Nyquistic]

Spoiler:

[MettCobalt]

"Has anyone noticed that building there before?"

[Kiahsobyk]

hahaha...I imagine that's what it's like when folks from the US try to do a passable Brit accent lol

[TUnit959]

"People are not wearing enough hats."

Valves meaning life.

[CidTheNinja]

watch?v=_kMdNkAcQx8

[spuitenslikken]

This is the best part of the whole movie, in my opinion.

[motnahpraw37]

This is the original: youtube.com/watch?v=O2QJvc_SxF­Q

[SmileyMan440]

:gabeface:

[kinyodas]

What was that about.. hats, again?

[VanM86]

"We apologise for this unwarranted attack by the supporting feature, and are now taking steps to remedy it. *Skyscraper crushes the Crimson Permanent Assurance* Thank you." LOL

[ivand1979]

Meanwhile, at Valve...

[fnorgen]

Man, look at all the company names in the beginning. "Super Big Ltd." "Interstellar travel Corp." lol.

[Adventchild8]

That made me think...about hats.

[Chazostatue]

Not even my towering pillar of hats is enough.

[TheSkunkrocker]

@Chazostatue I'll trade you my Alien Swarm for it.

[dornstartv]

Classic!

[dudsdark]

thumbs up if kritzkast brought you here

[ThaFreakymeL]

@dudsdark i did, but you cant thump up

[kpxkrappy1]

love the brits speaking in american accents

[chrisxdeboy]

why is there a pipe in the ashtray?

[limit3dability]

agender

[fedeshuriken]

So, we need more hats, roger that. By the way, does that include TF2 hats?

[ragamemnon]

Seems like people were distracted by accents a year ago. ;)

[HelixVertigo]

What was that about hats? I_I

[xdjvenomx]

Thumbs up if you realized you cant thumbs up comments when trying to thumb up @CloudRiviera

[alexsq2]

@xdjvenomx There is no thumbs-up button O.o

[xdjvenomx]

@alexsq2 I was joking!

[CloudRiviera]

thumbs up if steam forums got you here

[bflippsytrance]

This has got to be the most brilliant sketch in the history of film.

[Konata2010]

lmao, the guys has like a mix between 3 American accent types, and a little British xD

hilarious xD

[GWR4079]

monty python make the funniest films!

[GWR4079]

monty python make the funniest films!

[Azner2254]

American accents? Ah.

[kaguth]

Which Python do people think has the best American accent? My money's on Eric Idle, although maybe because he doesn't say much.

[chrispy9229]

If you look carefully at the beginning, you can see 'Liver Donors Inc.' ;)

[igotthatsnowmayn]

i want to see what happens after this is funny

[KickenItOldSchool]

@igotthatsnowmayn Just watch The Crimson Permanent Assurance

[alternativesociety]

Read: "The Teachers of Gurdjieff", by Raphael Leffort.

And in Richard William´s Pink Panther there´s a clue also.

[HappymanSeven]

Everyone knows that the real meaning of life is 42
