Doug Stanhope - ON WHY YOUR OPINION DOESNT MATTER on Charlie Brookers Newswipe s02e05 Feb 2010

[unlockthepower]

Doug Stanhope ruined Newswipe...

[stratocaster1986able]

Love Brooker and Stanhope.

[sexywhitebriefs]

i'd like to know his blood alcohol content; just curious

[vidfreak56]

Well opinon does matter as long as the majority believes in that opinion. So there is a point to getting peoples opinions. It's a good way to get in power and to make change. I agree that opinion polls are silly, but they are "OPINION" polls (derrrr doug). The more appropriate thing to wonder is, "are they even accurate?", or "do they represent everyone?". But its true that even with an opinion, most are just left to sit back and suck on it lol.

[Klappi1]

Stanhope+Beethoven = Epic Drunken Truth

[DrDeathpwnsu]

Doug, it is me the creepy guy from my space. If you are reading this in a hotel room somewhere I want to wear your skin on my skin and dress in your mother's clothing. Just hoping that kind of flattery can't counteract a negative comment or two. Well, back to the basement; I hear them chains rattling again.

[TheSoulDoubt]

I thought alcoholism was a bad thing- how come a barely coherent storming drunk makes more sense than the misguided, self-proclaimed 'guides' to our lives who are so self-assured and proud of their sobriety, articulacy and views!

[DMChester12]

hahah well said doug

[LightningNC]

That's 110%...

[sinister066]

fuk em' doug...fuk em' all!

[TheSkupkake]

Doug Stanhope ruined newswipe why is that fatheaded alcoholic on this show, get ridda him

[HarrisonRocks]

@TheSkupkake

This show stopped running over a year ago... Keep up mate.

Also: Stanhope is great, he's the American version of people here imho. Bitter and cynical but with a justifiable twist, the people he mentions that are dicking them over are dicking us over too. It's healthy to see how the media is messing with you and to acknowledge that and he does it in all his American, hateful and drunken glory.

[LordWardenOfThePrivy]

@HarrisonRocks lol he was kidding, listen again 2m45s

[HarrisonRocks]

@LordWardenOfThePrivy

-.- Now I just feel silly...

[xxBill86xx]

I dig the Velveeta room sign, what an awesome DVD that was. Doug killed it. Probably the funniest ending to a stand up ever.

[loveyoutodeathbut]

Happy Birthday.

[systemshq]

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!!!!



[Rainbowreptile123]

What is the peice of classical music playing under his voice? I'm desperate to find out!

[melengi]

@Rainbowreptile123 Beethoven 7, Movt. 2

[honkyxadonis]

funny how dumb some of the people below me are, kinda seems like they commented without watching the clip....

[Germanaugustomorales]

Everything is fine dude. But, please, go kill the person who sold you that suit!!!

[LogicalUtilizor]

Doug Stanhope makes me wanna kill myself.

[johnediamond]

Stanhope keep your nose out of twitter blogs business see...

[eleutheromaniac]

If everyone has a voice, then no one has voice. That's deep.

[brad6785]

so in dougs opinion, my opinion doesnt matter?

[honkyxadonis]

@brad6785 did you watch the clip?

[hagbard72]

This guy is no George Carlin.  Did i make you cry Doug?

[honkyxadonis]

@hagbard72 nah hasn't read your comment, he is too busy being a professional/successful comedian who doesn't know you exist

[Uberdoppelganger]

YOUR OPINION DOESNT MATTER

gives his opinion.

fuck you.

[deathbycriter]

You're*

[Inferno41]

1:09 found the problem, nothing of worth comes from Yakima.

[DJpopel]

Oh and what the fuck is reddit?

[DJpopel]

music is epic, i love these sad little "we are all FUCKED" segments on news/screenwipe.

You know what I think? I think some things arent ABOUT fucking opinion. I think theres a RIGHT and a fucking WRONG.

Politics for example.

Doug stanhope on where it comes from:

"My ideas come from all the drugs I took, the cigarettes gave me the patience to write that shit down, and the alcohol gave me the courage to stand up here in front of all you judgemental CUNTS"

Stanhope is, as usual, drunk as fuck:-)

[WalterLiddy]

/watch?v=XVCtkzIXYzQ

[Exiled86]

in every video hes drunk as fuck, and still projects his views so clearly and confidently. Hes such a fucking badass

[mTt3n]

Vodka and Yoghurt, gotta try that.

[CrackThoseClaws]

Well, that's just like...his opinion.

[DazedConfused1969]

@CrackThoseClaws no its reality little boy

[CrackThoseClaws]

@DazedConfused1969

I don't get it. If we're all entitled to our own opinions that don't matter, why would Doug's become "reality"?

[iainhead]

Oh no!! I did that once, drank all the mixtures and had to resort to yoghurt and other assorted goodies

[ShimahiroLTD]

Doug Stanhope is my favorite

[Wharrrrrgarbl]

"NO! YOU ALL DON'T KNOW" has to be one of the best things i've ever heard.

[beastcobain]

Doug Stanhope ruined news-wipe(?)... why is that fat headed alcoholic on this show? Get rid of him.

[EliteDoomer]

lololololol

[obglobgablob]

Man, that's not just Americans. I'm fairly sure you'd find that people everywhere are like that.

[Gliese0]

@obglobgablob yeah but i think americans are especially fond of giving opinions compared to other people. i think it's cultural

[obglobgablob]

@Gliese0

I guess I can't say for certain. I've never been to America.

[sphereballs]

I would have made a proper comment but I don't think that matters now.

[Mastafly7]

way to recycle your old joke doug....

[CptPanda29]

@Mastafly7 In all fairness I'd never have heard of him if it wasn't for these segments, as much as recycled material sucks...

[SaladofStones]

I find the irony in him talking about opinions not mattering in an op-ed piece rather amusing.

[superpoot1]

Beethoven - 7th Symphony - 2nd movement

[socorsan]

haters gonna hate!

thumbs up for reddit!

[MrKevinsense]

@socorsan fuck you with your thumbs up for reddit!!!! Why on earth would you write that? Ugh so annoying

[socorsan]

@MrKevinsense Thank you for your sexual advice - I've never tried using my thumbs up during intercourse, but since you were so emphatic (four "!", look at that!), you must really enjoy it.

I wrote the comment for two main reasons: annoying the so-called hater folks [check], and being both funny and paradoxal by writing a comment invoking the users of a collaborative opinion-based system on a video that claims that public comments are irrelevant at any level [check, too].

Like a boss! Problem?

[NekuChibi]

@socorsan reddit is for faggots.

[xVxxxGhostxxxVx]

I wish I could unwatch this retarded piece of work.

[AmateurSurgeonThe3rd]

I thought I could eat solid food. But I was wrong.

[Sameth69]

is the music around 1:20 from 'The Fall' in the wedding scene?

[LazySmi]

LOL this guy is a legend

[BrandurJustinussen]

I care :c

[nmarks]

Its hard not to pee yourself listening to this.

[Quagmirian]

Doug Stanhope ruined Newswipe. Why is that fat-headed alcoholic on this show? Get rid of him.

[TheDownwardDog]

america needs more doug stanhope

[PremiseTester]

My opinion: Doug Stanhope has the tortured soul (and alcoholism) of a great author. And his "Journal" proves it.

[drdaxmichaels]

you tell em dougie! opinions are like an asshole, everybody has one! But seriously, I respect your daring!!!! YOU USED THE WORD FUCK!!! EEEK! OH YEAH, THIS IS 2011, SO ALL HOLDS BARRED!!! GIVE EM HELL MATE!!!

[DrThunder88]

Say what you will about Doug Stanhope, he was a better addition to Newswipe than Tim Key.

[Colddeed]

Why is it that I agree with this guy, more often then not?.

[HolyHogShit]

if i was a vampire i would bite this fucker... not to punish him with eternity, but to punish YOOOOUUUUUU!!!

[GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y]

I just found this guy ten minutes ago and know i must see everything/ its like George Carlin all over again.

[AndreiTraieste]

@GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y Maybe George Carlin did his mom.



[rocaho001]

@GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y George Carlin and Bill Hicks all over again. I did the same thing.

[talkthroughtables]

@GIVEmeSOMEsugarBA8Y Greg Giraldo, Bill Hicks and Jim Jeffries. Thank me later.

[IngloriusBastard11]

I say we send Doug right into the middle of the Tea Partier's and let him rip.

Now imagine this, there you are in the middle of the entire fucking Tea Party and he cuts lose with "Guess what you fucking assholes, your opinion doesn't count and do you know why? Because you are fucking morons.

The best things about this video is that great music in the background...lol...and the great ending..GO FUCK YOURSELF, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR OPINION IS. LMFAO 

[Swonkneo]

@IngloriusBastard11 I am on the same train of thought, except I think Mr. Stanhope requires an AK-47 with back up ammunition.

[iceman8067]

"Jesus died for your sins....I'm doing it for your MERE entertainment dollar!"

-Stanhope

[Multivaaac]

Haha, Doug Stanhope is so desperate to make his opinion heard - that is literally what he does for a living. I love it though, also glad to see that Charlie Brooker let him be on his show

[MyCuordileone]

725 people expressed their opinion, I suppose without watching the video, lol

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

I usually try to keep my opinion to myself and just tell people what they want to hear. I found it makes my life SO much easier.

[selvmordspilot]

i have an opinion about this video, but I see the futility of sharing it.

[cragmac1000]

Hey Jack Cafferty why don't you bend over and blow it out your ass so

"Wolf Blitzer" (WTF kind of name is that anyway? Fucking disinformation agent)

can use Cafferty's asshole like he's hitting a big fucking bong. "Hey Jack let her rip you useless scab on the asshole within the cesspool of American society."

[spankrod]

My opinion doesn't matter, but Doug should be the blueprint for humanity. Give me a thumbs-up, or don't. I don't give a fuck.

Except, deep-down in my tiny, fragile world ... I do. I need those thumbs-up to help convince myself that it's okay.

[sakar181]

@spankrod

It *is* ok, and I *did* thumb up your comment. :)

[flubno]

I'm Doug Stanuogh, and that's why I drink. That's how i feel. When people ask me why I drink or smoke weed. I say "you try being me".

[sammysnakejones]

collective opinnion works if your willing to physically change things in reality. For example, a group of people might have the same opinnion on how to achieve a better standard of living. SO stop falling for the losery abstract viewpoint. Stanhope is still amazingly funny though.

[TyphonBaalHammon]

What's that background music at the beginning, the jingle to 'voice of america' ? 

[sakar181]

@TyphonBaalHammon

'Hail to the Chief'

[TyphonBaalHammon]

@sakar181 Thank you.

[waste0fspais]

hey youtube listen to this shit before u post

[Flashpocket1]

Tags - vodka and yogurt haaaha

[bloodsuckern]

@Flashpocket1 doug sat in copenhagen and googled himself eating frozen yogurt. true story

[ilikevines]

he's right his opinion doesn't mean shit

[redryan5048]

Brilliant as usual Doug !!!

We need more Dougs

[grahamek77]

beautiful.

[AWonderingWarrior]

@justcallmeassinine

What are you talking about? I was quoting the video and I ain't an American. Weird.

[elardone]

god bless america...

I wont forget all those who died

so i can drive my SUV

[AWonderingWarrior]

1:17 HEY JACK, I GOT A QUESTION. IF WE'RE GOING TO BAIL OUT ALL THESE WASHINGTON FATCATS, WHERE'S MY BAILOUT?

[justcallmeassinine]

@AWonderingWarrior WARRIOR YOUR BAILOUT IS WAY UP YOUR ASS ! YOU'VE BEEN POUNDED FOR SO MANY YEARS BY GOOD CHRISTIAN REPUBLICUNTS THAT IT MAY WORK ITS WAY OUT OF THAT POLE SMOKING PIEHOLE YOU CALL YOUR MOUTH SOMEDAY !! LOLOLOLOL

[antonciambe]

This is the most hypocritical video I have ever seen. He says opinions dont matter so he makes a video stating his OPINION on the subject? Imagine how worse off we would be if everyone kept their mouths shut?

[TheDensley7]

The man is brilliant.

[JONNOG88]

This guy is the American Frankie Boyle.

[justcallmeassinine]

@JONNOG88 Different styles. Boyle is more prepared and rehearsed than Doug it seems,anyway. Stanhope is more extemporaneous and wings it often .Both are great. Its interesting that Doug is very popular in Scotland, whereas Boyle's accent can be tough for Americans to understand.

[rcropper]

Oh cool, this is the set for dougs dvd artwork in 2011 :D

[cbrusch3182]

What kind of shoes does he have

[macnolds]

"it should be a giant pizza pie of 'i have no fucking idea.' "

[eccentricity00]

this was pure genius

[saraizurarmygrl]

Yeaaaah, that guy is an idiot. Hey, hey dude, that's my opinion. Deal. :)

[koponenii]

Great !

[ApathyPersonified]

Could someone tell me the name of the music in the background? I've been trying to find it for ages but I have no idea what it's called.

[dukebrazi]

@ApathyPersonified I think it could be found on the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick's movie "Barry Lyndon". It's probably a rendition of a piece by the classical composer "Händel" .

[elisk2]

I enjoy the fact that their are comments on this video. And the irony that this is also a comment.

[scooksley]

162 Comments. Lol.

[orto2437]

@scooksley Thank you for your opinion.

[ThisIsUngood]

he's completely right about this, which explains the youtube like/dislike and thumbs up/down format as well. Makes you feel involved, like you were part of it. no one gives a fuck about you, and that's why I don't give a fuck about them either.

[saraizurarmygrl]

@ThisIsUngood then why are you commenting? deeer

[goodflo911]

@saraizurarmygrl herp a derp no u

[saraizurarmygrl]

@goodflo911 you're still stating a comment....kind of.

[goodflo911]

@saraizurarmygrl No I am not!

[LOGIC42369]

Doug stanhope ruined newswipe, why is that fatheaded alcoholic on this show get rid of him!!

[ihnlChiv]

@LOGIC42369 "go fuck yourself"

[lifeindayglo]

I like that people vote and are posting on this video. obviously I'm guilty of voicing my pointless opinion too since I'm posting this right now. it's like arguing true anarchy or nihilism.

[ihnlChiv]

@lifeindayglo lol

[ironman5454]

@lifeindayglo We just listened to Dougs opinion. Every time he gets on stage he gives his opinion (and people listen). Major 'concerns'/collective opinions do matter. The protests against the Viet Nam war did have an effect. I get what Dougs saying and in large part hes on the money here BUT ... well, ya really don't care 'bout my opinion anyhow so I'll shut the f*ck up...

[gclev12]

My name is Doug Stanhope, and that's why I drink.

[762HB]

great video very funny.

[Mirmaker]

It has been over the year already and video begining hasnt cleared yet.

[justcallmeassinine]

@Mirmaker That's because Doug doesn't give a FUCK about you asshole !

[Mirmaker]

@justcallmeassinine Who?

[justcallmeassinine]

@Mirmaker LOL YOU YOU YOU !!! Bitching about the beginning of the video..Doug doesn't give a fuck about you ....or me either. I love him.

[Mirmaker]

@justcallmeassinine I mean who the fuck is doug? :D

[justcallmeassinine]

@Mirmaker First,who the fuck are you to be asking who the fuck is doug ? : )

[ironman5454]

@nicetrophy Hopefully you got your meds refilled for this month (??) No doubt they suck ...

[CertifiedGooner729]

@yodajedimindtricks Why, thank you.

[imthamanuaint]

"drinking vodka and yogurt cause i drank all the mixers out of the mini bar and the yogurts all i have left for breakfast when i thought i could eat solid food but i was wrong" hahhahaha fuckin incredible

[kevincease]

"A giant pizza pie of 'I have no earthly idea'" fucking killed me

[DieMenschMaschine85]

I'm Doug Stanhope - And that's why I drink!

[CertifiedGooner729]

Is it weird if I kind of think this guy should be president? lol

[n2488]

@CertifiedGooner729 he ran for a bit

[Sashabear40]

@CertifiedGooner729 hell no hes sensable and honest. i wrote that on my fb.. stanhope for prezz

[The4thGuy]

@CertifiedGooner729 He almost ran.

[ScriptingJunk]

@CertifiedGooner729 its a gift how he can spread true message with punch and effect

[SocialismEngland]

/facepalm

this faggot ruins fucking everything.

[davethehostage]

@SocialismEngland Oh, I assume you're one of those "but we can make a difference if we try!" types. Take Stanhope's advice and twitter your worthless opinion to Cafferty.

[JONNOG88]

2:20-2:30

I think Doug just described all of youtube.

[ironman5454]

@JONNOG88 Including his own act/opinion...

[passingpoor]

the mofo that put this to music needs to be given a beer

[keggerous]

Doug Stanhope ruined newswipe! why is that fat headed alcoholic on this show! GET RID OF HIM!

@fishuk Is that just your opinion on his opinion, or am I reacting to your opinion on Doug's opinion on peoples opinion. Am i in context of your opinion on his opinion with my opinion or is my opinion clouding his opinion as viewed by your opinion.

I see your Aargh, and raise you an AAAAAAAaaaaargh ;)

[fishuk]

This is my opinion about Doug's opinion about people's opinions:

Aargh.

[TheJovanist]

Doug Stanhope destroyed Alex Jones. Google it.

[CertifiedGooner729]

I just realized 25 other people made the same comment. I'm gonna go eat my own feces now.

[CertifiedGooner729]

Doug Stanhope ruined Newswipe. Why's that fat-headed alcoholic on this show? Get rid of him!

[MrsPopeJohnPaul]

funny fucker, but all these segments are regurgitated from his stand-up.

[JayGOS117]

@MrsPopeJohnPaul Yeah, but he did say on his last DVD that he was running out of shit. At least he has stood by his word :)

[venners77]

My favourite tabloid newspaper poll was when 97% of people answered "yes" to the Sun's question; 'was a "white fiat" involved in the death of Princess Diana?' Love it. Didn't realise there were so many witnesses in that Parisian tunnel that fateful night.

The newspapers tell you their twist on stories, then ask you to regurgitate it back at them. It's like when an adult teaches a child animal noises and then says "well done, very clever" when the child repeats the noise.

[dass0137]

i once ate 6 cheesburgers

then i puked it all up

[MrTrungo]

It's sorta ironic commenting on this video. :) Oh well I'm writing to fox news about it. Rupert Murdoch still cares.

[williammelvin]

i love this video, people need to realise, your opinion doesent matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[airdryr]

@williammelvin Love how ironic this comment is!

[andrewtheman19]

What's the music in the background?

[thewickedfae]

@andrewtheman19 Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op.92: II. Allegretto by Beethoven.
