Actually, Andy Rooney makes a grammatical mistake in this clip. He refers to the media as a singular entity when he says "media is." The correct way to refer to the media, which is a plural word, would be "media are."
Anyone else find it funny that the greatest linguist ever to live didn't feel the need to correct G's grammar? Chomsky even tried to give thoughtful answers to his goofy questions like "How many words does you know?" Intellectuals write great books. Psuedo-intellectuals brag about how many books they own.
"Death. It seems to me like so many people are dying nowadays. Remember in the old days when everyone was immortal? I don't understand why it's suddenly become a fad for old and young people alike to join in this silly new fad of losing consciousness." - Andy Rooney.
Oh yeah, no doubt. It's hilarious on such an ironic level that Andy Rooney "Professional Humorist" gets pissed off and shows NO sense of humor whatsoever. And actually he just comes off as a complete jerk. Also it's kind of mind-boggling that an A-hole like Rooney could have made a living as a "Humorist".
@JohnQ1127 The cold truth is the funniest humor of which I can think and Andy uses it to perfection! Can't say I haven't said some of the same things to people who seem this openly comfortable living in stupidity... even if this is just an act. Goes to show how great an actor Sacha is, too.

ali g is a total scum bag. This is why America is going down the shitter. Because kids think this jackass is funny disrespecting people. Andy Rooney is an elder and should be rspected. He is also a world war 2 veteran. Sacha stop hiding behind your characters and just come out in the open. Your a coward mocking a veteran. He served so you could act like a childish jackass.
@SierraVistaServe "ali g sounds like he has more sense then him" LOL! Thats incredibly stupid ,why would you think that! Probably because you are an Ali G fan (rather than a Baron Cohen fan who is indeed an intelligent person) and you are just upset that Andy Runey wouldnt fall for his shtick!Bad,bad Runey so rude and unsmart of you not to credulously believe Ali G's sincerity and thereby not making a fool of yourself for SierraVistaServe's amusement!
Fuck that old bastard. The asshole deserved to die.

"Racialist" is a correct term, though it went out of style in the 1950s. Rooney should remember it.
