Funny Or Die Presents: Playground Politics - Africa (HBO)

[Ranlon]

This may seem just a funny scetch but it happens to be exactly the truth, and now the big New World Order mega banks are doing this same thing to Europe. END THE FED!

[LaPlaneta]

Are they trying to say that Africa is naive and gives away its goods because it doesn't know any better? That's pretty lame.

[TiaIngram55]

[kuramboy]

@monoclevp posted by someone who obviously doesn't know how global economy and the IMF works...

[JoshSkates101]

First 11 seconds Lmaoo!

[sasser129]

Haha, America is a fat white boy, and Africa was an adorable black kid, but I didn't get the look of the International Monetary Something kid.

[asscass]

@sasser129 His Jewish obviously

[7NonoGirl7]

america. for surely a shim. talks like a him. boobs like a she. hair like a she. everything else a him. very confusing.

[sjmoy1]

@7NonoGirl7 lmao. i guess cuz we're so "mixed up". yeah, that was deep....

[7NonoGirl7]

@sjmoy1 hahaha. oh yess, for suree. great symbolism shown with this video. haha

[chekhovkid]

What's really sad about reading some of these comments is most people really don't realize how much the IMF has done to corporate black mail and strangle countries into a whole sale of their public assets. Just look into what happened in Poland in the 80's, South Africa and Asia in the 90's and now Iraq. It's made some very rich people even richer and extremely poor people poorer and I'm afraid to say it will probably never ever change..... because most of us don't care enough!

[birdslayer4]

@chekhovkid dude don't turn this into a boring political thing its supposed to be funny

[TheBombson]

If you find this funny you should view it again and try to concentrate.

[MixedBag27]

Hetalia anyone?

[PHILLYHEAT215]

Michael Moore, the early years...

[chuckinator11]

;_;

[Llama212ify]

That was stupid.

[Cardan011]

the little africa guys is awesome

[JaoneMakin]

im from Africa and i found this pretty hilarious...

[69weinerdog]

This show isn't funny. Kinda funny, huh?

[xBaLiStIcMESSIx]

it's funny because the stereotypes fit!!! :D

[Bumblebeestarbeam]

omg!!!!! wat a cute kid

[klsybbr]

The little kid is so cute!! The fat kid is so selfish!!!! Thats so mean!

[littemisschaterbox]

@therockingbitch it's hard to explain...

[RayCharlesfan1237]

Poor africa

[littemisschaterbox]

That black kid is so ghetto :D

[MrUmd03]

@littemisschaterbox How?

[littemisschaterbox]

@MrUmd03 he's just... awesome. haha

[alexweir1]

America looks like John C. Reilly. 

[WorldOfRabies]

if you want to see something fun search on funny or die snakes

[123Catlynnisme]

funny or die? I'd rather fucking die. make me laugh bitch!

[strawberrymotion101]

Lol america: obecity

[vinozarza]

while i dont think wealthy countries are responsible for poor countries, those are our fellow human beings and I know that the us government pays farmers to burn crops if there is an over abundance in order to regulate the produce market.

it could go to the hungry, right?

also I think the "organic" lovers of the western world should stop interfering in the attempts of researchers trying to introduce genetically modified foods to countries that need those resources...

[ggcj01]

lol America HAS to be a FAT kid

[marqy7]

All I could think about was how cute the Africa kid is.!

[TheSuperninjaguy]

hahah its funny cuz your not them

[notfaux]

@prothonotar deflating the price of grain in their country. so the farmers won't sell their crops, because what would be the point? they'd lose money if they did that. we need to start investing in the agricultural development of countries like ethiopia, instead of dumping our surplus crops on them. oh wait, we'd never, ever do that because american and european farmers have become dependent on the food aid "market!"

[notfaux]

@prothonotar not true. educate yourself before you post something like that. there are various african countries whose farmers can produce enough to feed a majority of their population, and the problem is mostly us, not them... take ethiopia, for instance. their farmers produce tons and tons of grain.. but that grain is sitting in warehouses, rotting. why? because our government heavily subsidizes the grain products of OUR farmers, and then we send tons of grain over to ethiopia, thus severely

[AvaPozen]

This capsule is a pretty good summary of my IPE textbook.

[Drupp12]

@ pokemonkiller just shut up you 14 year old u have no idea about politics go play magic or pokemon

[unowenlover]

lol XD

[soundboy628]

gorgeous



[panadevulpe]

They should fucking die , this is not funny .

Make me laugh bitch !!!

[dropelwalker]

How come so many people did'nt get it..? O.o

[DoRiMeable]

Hahahaha stupid fat americans

[JoeJC]

How the world works... according to naive liberals.

[mercyless30]

I can't believe that cut the ending out where the little boy says he loves this candy.

[cappuccioiscool]

@pantherfanatic oh so the majority of the world should die? While the u.s. And europe get fat?

[pantherfanatic7]

@cappuccioiscool There's no possible way for America to feed everybody!

[seamist777]

tht stupid fat kid is a retarded and selfish. a kitkat? really? my god he's so selfish he keeps all the food to himself soon he'll need liposuction

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

@seamist777 You're retarded. 

[skygrasper091]

@seamist777 Clearly your understanding of politics is blockaded by the simplicity of your mind.

[bombthistrackk]

@seamist777 ... You do know that that "stupid far kid" is representing America, right? They're using satire for show the world's interaction with America, just a lot more simplified..

[bombthistrackk]

@bombthistrackk ** "fat," I mean.

[seamist777]

@bombthistrackk so u callin america fat? so mean...

[bombthistrackk]

@seamist777 Not necessarily. It's using satire to represent countries in a stereotypical way. Big hint on the word satire.

[vashy101]

@seamist777 That's America for you. lol

[biggerflexible]

@seamist777 I think that is the point.

[thefarheensauce]

@seamist777 do you not understand the allegory here, buddy?

[seamist777]

@thefarheensauce it's called sarcasm

[killahoekillahoedead]

@seamist777 just like america lol

[good1apollo]

@killahoekillahoedead yep because noone can do shit about it cus america is the shit.

[jemnln]

@seamist777 omg...rude.



[thebigteeshow12]

@seamist777 exactly thats why hes america they did it on purpose america is selfish greedy and plain out fat and im american

[boomamaz]

Dam sum pepl take it soo seriosly it waz jst a frickin joke

[pantherfanatic7]

Oh gimme a break! Like America is supposed to play mommy for EVERY single hungry person in the world. Sorry, but it's just not possible or logical. If everybody knows that we'll give them food, nobody needs to work for their own food anymore. We can't have World Communism. Goodness

[ushuaia213]

@pantherfanatic7 Lol, asshole they do that kind of thing for self-interestestings

they dont care about the poor people

[FindingTeemoGaming]

@pantherfanatic7 alright first off World Communism? What is communism? Its when the government owns everything very similar to socialism....sooo world communism? The government owns the world? making no sense buddy,

[pantherfanatic7]

@FindingTeemoGaming I'm not making sense? What are you even talking about? World Communism, meaning that there is some greater power, such as a world government, that requires America to play the nanny country for every single person in the world. It's not logical.

[theplayergarra]

nice lve handles america :L

[theplayergarra]

@theplayergarra love*

[jewels1109fd]

OUCH!!!! that kid ( Africa ) ROCKS !!!!

[ReaganGoldwaterBuckl]

The IMF doesn't have anything to do with isolated African and American financial interaction. Plus, Africa has received billions in economic aid with zero in return; more than all the other continents combined since WW2.

Also the whole interest being more than the GDP isn't true. Yet another misrepresentative bit by Anti-America Hollywood, CA.

Oh, and good luck with prop 8 ;)

[jfry4]

Technically financial aid to Africa is handled by the World Bank. The IMF focuses on transactions between developed nations such as the recent bailout if Ireland. Oh well close enough.

[magoo16ski]

i love how the kid representing america is fat

[ETHANBRADLEYOFFICIAL]

@magoo16ski lol totally

[ITZoMEoCC]

This video breaks my heart

[Knoar]

This should be a Kit Kat commercial.  I've never seen anyone enjoy one so damn much.

[xxamadeus84xx]

I love how the america boy/girl is fat!!!

[Saru86p]

so funny that its sad that this is true

[MrAJone1]

Africa is not poor there might be 1 or 2 Countriies that are but not the whole Continant i live in Africa and im not begging for food and water i live like you in America just fine

[JLaurentMusic]

WOW!

[agentleexx]

Now this is the shit iam talking about...America the Beautiful ..Wow

[coolguy701]

shit man that black boy is a really good actor. that last bit with him was perfect!

[russianstud]

@coolguy701 really I heard he kept messing up his lines and took him forever to get them right.

[KamikazeLBC]

@russianstud

So what...he ended up getting them right and this is the final result...pure genius.

[gabbacadabra07]

The little boy who plays "Africa" is such a good little actor! He's got a career ahead of him lol

[vapor2s]

hahahahahhaahh this is so fcked up!! lmao

[JewbagJared]

i love how he got into the candy

[goddolove]

@Mclovin7831 well Africa is after all asking for food...

[tdhtv]

@goddolove Giving people food out of charity is one thing, to rape them of natural resources is another. Anarchy in the USA

[HoldOnTightxx]

hahahahahahahaha i fuckin love this that kid who plays africa is hilarious

[islappz]

aww, africa was so adorable!

[westafricanmutt]

Africa was hella cute. IMF Shuda given him more KitKat. 2 at least...

[place2bee]

This video is funny as hell. That kid is so adorable. He looks like Jaden Smith.

[adamnherron]

I'm sick of everyone hating on America. You can be liberal, but why you gotta hate your country

[guitargod21136]

@adamnherron Refusing to recognize your country's faults is not patriotism. Quite the opposite in fact. Recognizing them leads them to being fixed, ignoring them leads them to fester.

[elymt]

@adamnherron Criticism is not hate, and goddamnit, the almost religious devotion people have to this country is getting out of hand. A country is not some biblically-ordained thing that demands unconditional devotion. People hate us because we do really terrible shit, and rather than apologize for it we wave the flag and say "They just hate us for our freedom."

[reazrj]

@elymt . ah you summed up one all of it pretty well good sir! now if only there were more people like you

[sugarkap]

@elymt you are so right.

[BeanKitteh]

wow.

[kmarinas86]

I see the next Will Smith.

[silentm1st]

This is cool ... I'm not sure which policy it's a parody of though.

[CJKortes]

shut up bitch have a laugh!

[ariplingerful]

africa could grow its own food but the IMF and the US forced them to grow for export-led growth, making them dependent on international markets, rather than subsistance farming. Thats the problem.

[bennettbomani]

This is EXACTLY how THE MAN got over on us in the MOTHERLAND! Hell, I was like "Cool, the lil' black kid got his and got the can-day, nice...hey, wait a minute!"  This is such great comedy, WURD x2!!!

[shawbaby1111]

I love how America is an overweight white kid and the IMF is a jewish kid. ROFL!

[nightintheruts617]

not racist or pollitical just realistic just the way it is not exactly a good thing or bad thing but just the way it it evrything works out

[lestube001]

a simple video with a deep meaning

[gtbaana]

That is some deep stuff. I am from Guyana, anyone form the Caribbean, (Guyana, Jamaica, or Haiti especially) know exactly what this skit is talking about. We have suffered this first hand. Education for the next Generation, yo.

[shyne2003us]

hey the kid that's playing Africa, that is my lil nephew!!!! no lie. he doing big things in Hollywood!! check him out on Days of our lives also, playing the character Theo.

[egycan271]

africans and africa together with america share reason for hunger , any way if african dont like it in africa , come'n over

[itsquinnlolz]

Wow this is true

[crazychick0390]

LOL!! cute kid who plays africa. Nailed it good

[mussedeq]

Live free or die.

[youngtusk87]

America is the fat kid?

How are we doing in the Olympics?

[floppywater]

@youngtusk87 Well, Canada's got the highest gold medal count which is really all that matters.

[llandshark]

We're great at anything down hill! :)

peace

[00Trent]

IT would be pretty bad if you were doing badly, since you place the most amount of money and athletes into the games.

[T5doey]

did u win it? no

so america is the fat kid

[Goylesk]

@youngtusk87 to be fair, the winter olympics is all about going down a hill. Fat people are very good at that.

[BanacaNation]

NOOOOOOOOO, they cut out the best part, at the end

[bobalitos]

i love this vid!!!

[prothonotar]

De Beers is South African, but other than that... hilarious!

[sarahbinney]

the funniest part was at the end but they caught it off on the internet version but not on the tv version and i cant find the full clip now! ugh. lol

[counterhit121]

@sarahbinney what episdoe of funny or die was it?

[sarahkellett]

Thats great!

[Jer7280]

This is fantastic.

[CandyBlooded]

Black kid's acting is award winning XD

[browntreasure]

Wow... nice acting from the kids man... That lil white boy you can tell practiced those line cover to cover nice! lol loved it...

[AlexGrim]

This is so true.

[sexylady818vn]

Lol...The Little Boy Is Adorable !!

[asscass]

LOL that lil black kid should win an oscar

[zazfilm]

@asscass he did

[erc814]

The movie speaks the truth about IMF loans...african nations will never be able to repay their billion dollar loans.

However I disagree about the food. This is American propaganda.

America does not feed and cannot feed african nations...which are made up of more than 800 million people. if they can't even feed haiti how are they going to feed a whole continent?

African grows its own food which is more than enough to feed its own people.

[prothonotar]

While it's true America doesn't feed the entire African continent, it's simply not true that African nations grow enough food to adequately feed all of their people. Have you heard of the World Food Program?

Africa *could* grow enough to feed their people, and much of the rest of the world too... but conflicts, corruption and destitute poverty remain as obstacles to reaching that point.

[Santatonline]

@prothonotar you nailed it

[mrfitch617]

Also Africa exports most of its crops as cash crops to pay off the massive amounts of debt they have. And another limitation is the shitty leaders and military dictators that take over hardly focus on agriculture

[cjkei10]

@prothonotar Thats exactly right, my dad worked for the Food Agriculture Organization in Africa for a couple of years. The ability is there but efforts go backwards cos of lack of infrastructure and corrupt ever changing Heads of State . Its a very sad situation. The poor get poorer and the rich get super duper richer

[peroxywhygen747]

@cjkei10 another problem facing Africa is the rest of the world. The world is trying to go green, and is forcing the poorest continent to use the most expensive ways to produce energy. We are basically saying "Fuck you, you will never have electricity." I saw a documentary and they went to a hospital, They had to choose between having lights or keeping the vaccines and stuff at the correct temp.

[Delorentis2007]

@prothonotar not forgetting ever increasing arid land. Most of Africa isn't blessed when it comes to rain. We barely have enough safe water to drink let alone grow crops with.
