  • I don't know. I saw my friend's facebook from a couple of years back. Every other status was I am happy. And two hours later. He was unhappy.

  • Nice Donnie Darko reference.

  • Condemedbasementdweller....I am sure he barely works, as I am sure you barely work. As

    I am sure you both feel an education is a waste of time and hard work is for chumps. But let me ask you this, when your parents can no longer support you and your boyfriend what will you do? Oh, I forgot food stamps and disability from my taxes...

  • This guy doesn't keep up with his ADHD medication, does he?

  • Everyone knows that the spectrum varies from LOVE to FEAR.

  • YOU SIR HAVE DONE DRUGS

  • Geez, you are one sick puppy. Put down the bong dude, get a decent hair cut,(not one your mom does) move out of your parents basement and get a J-O-B....

  • @SGTRVN1 when you stop raping babys

  • @SGTRVN1 He has a job he makes youtube video's and its a good job he probably makes more then you and does barely any work

  • >:(

    Knock it the fuck off!

    :D

  • Your jacket's wayyyyy too big, man! Great video though!

  • So, turn that frown upside down t(^_^t)

  • I do agree that seeking happiness only based on the feeling of happiness would be unproductive and eventually lead to artificial happiness.

    But, while there is no actual dichotomy to feelings, there's a very concrete dichotomy that deals with YOU being satisfied with a situation: You either are, or you aren't.

    And refusing to acknowledge you're displeased with a situation is usually just you seeking to disband yourself from the inherent responsibility you have to yourself of changing it.

  • Cody's arms must have gotten tired a lot :p 2:16 (reflection on the left side)

  • I miss these artistic looking AA videos a lot :/

  • turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down turn that frown upside down

  • Haha, oh wow. So edgy.

  • Funny, we still bang rocks for entertainment.

  • if you like being unhappy wouldn't you WANt people to send you thoes comments..becuase they make you unhappy?

  • @NightHowlingLoneWolf their unhappy..;D

  • I think this is the first time I've seen your smile and you have a nice smile

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sure a lot of people are the same as me, but I've been a MUCH freer thinker and person, and actually HAPPIER since I have been atheist. I've come out of my jesus barrier and learned that things dont happen by frikin miracles they happen by real people doing REAL work.

  • Dem tags

  • Cheer up TJ. Aren't you happy with doing what your doing?

  • This seems to be more or less what you are trying to say.

    watch?v=6A0GdR2LlKo

  • has he lost weight since these videos? i think so.

  • AA Makes me happy

  • Shamone.....

    

  • Why are you unhappy? Turn that frown Upside Down! *MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH*

  • Comment removed

  • YOU DAMN REDNECK WITH A KNIFE IN HIS PENISHOLE

  • This guy reminds me of Alex Jones.

  • @jismthrower But Alex Jones is a complete moron, where this guy actual uses logic when he's serious.

  • @YorkshireClash I won't argue about Alex Jones, but "theamazingatheist" should rename himself "theamazinglyloudclown" And no I'm not religious I'm absolutely an atheist as well and I'm embarrassed I have anything in common with this clown.

  • LOL this music....

  • I miss these kinds of videos from TJ so much.

  • I would rather be happy and stupid than clever and depressed. I think the point of being clever is to reach happiness anyway because of the sense of relief that comes with knowing and be reassured with logical rules. The only reason I bother doing maths and playing the piano is because I enjoy and I want to build up a really big sense of positivity but if you gave me a choice between trying to do that every day or being a blissful retard every day I would be the blissful retard.

  • @Dolphidood Being the blissful retard makes you cattle, if you aren't willing to change something no matter how insignificant to real world problems it may be then you are nothing but a consumer and a laborer. Wouldn't it be better to get really good at either piano or "maths" and come up with your own mathematical equations that do shit like disprove stupid theories like string theory? or to get so good at piano that you can make a profit off of it and express that you are an individual?

  • @Dolphidood (thank you 500 characters, you really let me get my point across.) and if you have a concept of self-worth that has some achievements backing it up, not only will it stand taller and longer against scrutiny but it can also make you proud of your accomplishments, which leads to self-acceptance, which leads to contentment.

  • What's the song playing in the backround? sounds nice.

  • Well said TJ! I fucking hate it when some friends try to comfort me without even knowing what the problem is.

  • Human emotions are more complex by far. Some people are happy, but don't necessarily smile and act all giddy. Just because someone smiles and says sweet things to you that doesn't mean THEY ARE FUCKING SINCERE.

  • Females are always under a lot more pressure than males to appear happy and cheery simply because it makes them appear light-hearted and youthful!!! This has always been an issue for me and I always hate people who make such a big fucking deal about "looking" happy to save face. Contentment is a subjective matter and one determines for himself what it takes to be content.

  • @DontForgetIran2010 Yeah, but TV pressures men to be bigger, stronger, have less body hair (razor/trimming commercials) and bigger dicks. I can't even turn the TV on without someone trying to make me feel inadequate. Lol.

  • Seems like you got this from donnie darko

  • Why do so many people dislike these videos when they make perfect sense?!

  • @ultralisk202 yes most of what he says makes perfect sense....but he's a dick about it.

    I agree with roughly 75% of the views he puts forth....but he acts like such a douchebag in presenting those views its a deal breaker for me and a lot of others.

    He's part of the reason atheists are seen as angry, hateful and yes, unhappy.

  • @stiimuli Yes I agree, but it's just a convenient way to blame the victims. If the gays were the most wicked people it would be easy for the government to keep them from being first class citizens. There's a reason why people are angry. Lack of self-control is the reason why the anger is leading some atheists to be big dicks about it. There's a lot of stupid in the world that makes us angry.

  • @RuinSonic I think most of them can have self-control but they don't think there is a reason to have it. They don't think that bending over and taking it is going to give sympathy for them. And to some degree I agree. Reasoned arguments alone have a poor track record of converting the status quo. However, bitching at everyone doesn't seem to be the shock that is going to convert the masses either. Some people probably don't care because it won't change either way.

  • @stiimuli Not being an asshole about it but yeah. More of us are.

  • Dude, makes videos BECAUSE he is in some incomplete. Dude seeks attention, acceptance (and, in my opinion justifiably so). And probably the vast majority of us are in a similar boat: vanity of vanities, right? (Ecclesiastes). Isn't that why most people (myself included) post videos and comments? Want to see themselves on TV, become famous, strongest, fastest, smartest? To be noticed in some way? Its part of being human. Especially for those who grow up lacking recognition or love from parents.

  • @vdizhoor Or maybe he wants to make money.

  • Hello Donnie Darko :D

  • I BLOG ABOUT THIS RAOroAROAROAO

    hahahaahahhaaha

  • Suck cock gashrocks1..Wtf are you doing watching all his vids then if you dont like them, you fucking moron? "Shit yourself and move alooong please :)"

  • @DerickMet u go nd suck tj's cock...u may njoy it as much as u love his videos

  • TJ is absolutely right on this one. Feelings aren't that simple. Happiness isn't just flowers and balloons. Happiness is a long-term state, which includes both cheer and sadness. A happy life is a life of different states and actions

  • you speak too much.u suck man.........what crap u put up on youtube.there is no sense in getting fame for such crappy videos.

    get a life

  • @gashrocks1 so he has no life because he talks about relevant things

  • @TheArcadianFlame relevant...woooh .u call this relevant

  • @gashrocks1 he talks about the human mind and our train of thought and human nature all relevant issues. what would you rather watch

  • TJ looks fucking awesome in leather.

  • @ginocidian That's what i think.. I told my grandparents that when I was little..  I remember they said " ehh.. " That's it XD

  • Lol at video tags.

  • One of the best videos here on YouTube...

  • PISS DAH FUK OUT

  • TJ needs to tie 219 people to the train tracks he gives his speeches by and wait for the train to come.

  • Hey Dude, c´mon why r u so angry??? :<3)

    Put a smile :) on your face and the sun will shine for you! :<3))!!!!!

    Everybody should live every day like it is the last day alive! ::<<33))) XD "oO"

    Love for every1.

  • ever AA episode makesme feel smarter.(not that im better then him but he makes me smarter)

  • @Optimist117

    Shut up.

  • @Optimist117 Then you're really dumb, because hes nothing more than a loud clown. Hes definitely not amazing.

  • @CFrostyTheSnowman Its called being humble you dumb fuck.

    So what if hes loud and energetic... you do fucking better.

    Fuck you.

  • @Optimist117 Obviously not if you can't formulate a fucking sentence.

  • Comment removed

  • @Gagi420 O you sad fuck... did you just spend your time going through all the fucking comments to find one simple humble comment.

    Fuck you.

    Pathetic fuck.

  • No, you don't look "unhappy" you looked raged and angry. What are you angry about? Do you have AIDS? are you a leper? DO you have terminal cancer? Have you been ass-raped 1 or two times by a big black man? You're a white man who isn't poor who isn't stupid. What do you have to be angry about? It's not like you have any empathy...you're full of apathy. The only person you care about in this entire world is you and only you. So is this why you're angry?

  • Put a smile on your face TJ!

  • I hate happy/over positive people..

  • I agree with TJ. I hate it when people tell me to smile when I'm upset or angry about something. It doesn't help and it doesn't make the thing that's upsetting me go away. So knock it off, world.

  • I'd hate to be content.

  • i blog about this RHAHHH lol chocked on my tasty beverage

  • If i tell you to kill yourself, does y

    That make you happy?

  • I have a brain boner.

  • 1:41 - 1:45 AHAHHAHAHHAA

    awesome tj is awesome

  • I am happy watching TJ :D

  • We're only happy when we feel like we're growing. So as long as you do something during the course of the day that expands who you are, one can usually dodge the depression bullet. Learn something new. Try something new. Feel something new.

  • Those of us not over-weight and balding are generally happy. Try jogging, you fat shit.

  • I hat it wen peeple on Utube doent spell tings teh rite way

  • @sutjas16 i now righ?

  • @sutjas16 eye hat tat two

  • @sutjas16 they does it?

  • @sutjas16 wai*

  • I would have agreed with you some time ago...and then I discovered that it really was like those annoying people and the bumperstickers and whatnot were saying--happiness is a choice and my emotions either stem from a place of love or fear (the other emotions stemming primarily from these two base emotions). I used to love my complicated emotions...now I'm one of those irritating happy people...I'm happy pretty much 24/7...like some of the people I foolishly ridiculed not long ago...

  • LLLOOOLL "THAT MAKES ME FUCKING SUICIDAL"

  • TJ! TJ! TJ!  FOR PRESIDENT!

  • In suffering we grow stronger and in growing stronger we may be content. I couldn't be content if I assumed the complacent "happy-seeking" philosophy. Flourishing ought to be seen as virtuous living - that way we can be happy and useful.

  • @RyanAndrewDickson If no body complained, shit wouldn't get done.

  • I don't agree with you on most points. but i actually agree with you....

  • Love the Leary style. Great job.

  • I think sometime you'll come to the epically important realization that you don't have to find something wrong to find something right. Finding "the problem" and fixing it is not a necessary step to any goal. The goal itself is what's important to focus on. This is just the way human psychology works, and the sooner you can accept that human psychology applies to you too the better off you'll be. Being unsatisfied is not a step to satisfaction. That false idea is so drilled into our culture.

  • @RyanAndrewDickson Much like what you're doing here?

  • @RyanAndrewDickson dude. it is the internet. where you go on the internet depends on what particular perspective of complaining you want to hear. get fucking used to it.

  • what would you know of happiness? ur too fat to be happy. just incase u didnt know eating extra happy meals wont make you happier. pls dont use high resolution cameras. u make me sad

  • @EYESCUM if i were your dad id bust into your room at random times throughout the night, beat the shit out of you, and shove pinecones up your ass

  • @BWKsoccer06 fighting repressed memories, are we?

  • @ToySoldierScorpion cant say i am

  • so much like rick mercers rants, iow, damn good.

  • Looks like TJ is never happy.

    Religion spreads crap about Christ, TJ spreads out crap about his life. The difference is that God is a lie, but TJ suffering anal rape is a somewhat funny fact.

  • haha...you are so funny..

    but i like the background scene..

  • FUCK YOU

    ANGRY

    I BLOG ABOUT THIS (caveman speak)

  • Someone has just seen Donnie Darko. 10 years too late buddy.

  • This is wonderful, reminds me of Donnie Darko.

  • Even though I disagree with TJ in some respects, you gotta love his videos.

  • I love your videos, but this one lacked purpose for me. Keep being awesome, though.

  • I agree with TAA,I freaking hate people trying trying to make me happy with small "sweet" talk or freaking hugs,it makes me want to punch them.

  • Why is it that I agree with every word you say in this video? Especially the choosing of unhappiness, as it's the only means of progression, and the ignorant people who say, "Turn that frown upside down!" driving me to near suicide. How long until people learn that things are never so simple?

  • That's BS

  • Bull Shit, TJ.

  • It's funny you say we want the world to be more simple than it really is but then you completely dumb down what contentment is. Intellectuals,lol, you gotta love 'em because you know they don't.

  • Yeah fuck every single religions

  • @AlexxSR You don't need to pluralize "religions".

  • If hte purpose of life is to be happy, then why not bang rocks

    Happiness literally translates as in a state of being GOOD....

    and only GOOD things can make one happy, not simply banging rocks, you know, ignorance is bliss.

  • I just noticed that when this video ended an ad for "Christian Prayer Center" came up. That is a winfail.

  • @theuserofthissite Blame google.

  • You seem unhappy. Why not turn that frown upside-down? We live in a neutral world where good and bad are in equal-ish quantities. Isn't that enough to create a positive response somehow?

  • when i saw the train tracks i was hoping for a suicidal ending :(

  • If you veiw this man as unhappy or "Negative", realize that it is YOU that see's it that way and that just shows that you are in fact the one who is Unhappy.

  • @RealityHurts923

    while that maybe true, or just an opinion, well, the fact is that he made a title called Happiness Sucks..

    i know we are here talking about psychology or the subconcious mind so ... yes, he is unhappy, whether he realizes it or not.

  • if contetment weren't our life goal then we wouldn't be doing shit. we want to be more content so we make more technology. yes, if cavemen were content then we would be in the shit. but if they didn't want to be content we would still be in the shit because the wouldn't have wanted anything else. we want to be happy so we make shit to make us more happy than we already are. like video games or videos.

  • 207 ppl want to be happy

  • You're right that true happiness is more than just an emotion characterized by smiles.

    But, honestly, man you seem like a very "unhappy" person. By that I mean "unfulfilled in life."

  • Holy shit, you people need to search WEEDEATERSTV here on youtube. It's fucking epic!.

  • Comment removed

  • the reason your not happy is because you don't have Jesus. and the reason your an atheist is because your not happy.

  • @ItstheAlexShow Nonsense. I know plenty of people who are clinicly depressed who would regonize christ as their lord and saviour. You happyness arguement sucks. Try again.

  • You guys need to find Jesus, and be happy. Ha ha.

  • That first thing you said you reminded me of Donnie Darko....

  • UK.gov take note, measuring a population’s happiness is not only infantile by definition but also flawed logically in terms of the act of studying a subject affecting its state. Happy? Who cares, emotions to me are like colours to a person sees in black and white. I know they exist and can define them in many ways but choose how to apply them as a means to an end rather than allow them as most people describe to be a reason for thoughts and actions.

  • The divided line reminds me of the Donnie Darko scene with "Fear X Love"

  • It makes sense to be angry. The rush of adrenaline and whatnot gives a sense of power.

  • my fav TJ vid

  • I think that maybe happiness should be our goal (I don't know if others consider content and happy to be basically the same). I don't think that focusing on this will hinder our progress as a race. We consider violence to be bad because it makes people unhappy, so when trying to obtain happiness one tries to rid their life, and consequentely the world, of bad things like violence. So I believe that in persuing happiness one persues a better world. So happiness can be both a means and an end.

  • Straight out of Donnie Darko.

  • @JumbledFilms I knew I'd heard that before, thanks for pointing that out!

  • why so serious?

  • Comment removed

  • this is so fucking unoriginal. those of you who praise this are sheltered quiet kids.

  • watch?v=IewLYThgR3I

  • donnie darko scene anyone ??

  • Put a smile on your face. now go kill yourself n tell someone to film it so we can watch:O)

  • HAD the cavemen been content with what they had they would not have searched for ways to make themselves content leading to the eventual development of every facet of today's society. And if you'd prefer to be unhappy then the fact that people telling you to be happy would be making you unhappy and placing you more within your preferred emotion.So I think you should just be happy that people are showing concern for your emotional state rather than bitch about. Yes, you should definitely be happy

  • dude are you riding a motorcycle or do you just love wearing leather, also you should get some shots of the bike in a video if you are

  • T.J ......... You are the golden island of dark truth in an ocean of bullshit.

    We always need people like TheAmazingAtheist on demand.

  • All I can say is.... thats a really nice jacket.

  • fuckin idiots, So are you going to add that book to you'r site if you wrote it is definately worth reading and i wanna see the price.

  • twitter sucks.

  • ur fat

    r u happy

  • ur fat

    *phat

  • i agree with everything you say man, but damn you're a a buzz kill i'm never really that happy either , but at least be a little optimistic. The worlds going down the shitter man but cheer the fuck up and have a drink or a joint, whatever your prefrence. Because we only have one life right?

  • Is it just me or this guys talks like Master Shake from Aqua Teen?

  • @PaleoAtheos shake's voice is all nasaly and higher pitched. AA doesn't sound like shake at all.

  • @kylem1112 lol I didn't really mean his voice, more like the angry and arrogant way that he talks, kinda reminds me of Shake, which is good

  • I'm completely sure this guy will end up jumping off a bridge at some point in his life, I'll bet money on this.

  • @zoddie We can only hope he DOES jump!! Ignoramous unleashed!!

  • @zoddie Nah if TJ was gonna kill himself he would probably try to do it more creatively instead of going out like every other person.

  • this guy looks very unhappy :D

  • @evilldd

    nice being stupid

  • Alex Jones and Michael Moore had child...... You are watching him!

    Jesus Saves BTW...
