Russell Howard's Good News - Spastic Transformer

[LucyLabrador1]

the buzz light year thing was hilarious!

[MegaShadamy]

TRANSFORMERS ROBOTS IN PERMANENT CARE! LOL

[pottermaniac4292]

To everyone responding to RunsWithWeasels: don't feed the troll.

[PhilTheDrummist]

Normally I like Russell Howard but this section is just lazy writing. It wouldn't have taken a lot of research to find out that A) Spastic in America is as harmless as calling someone an idiot over here and B) It never made it out of America, so it's not like they shipped it over and then realised, it was only when British companies picked up on it that it became an issue.

[TFblueshift]

@PhilTheDrummist Actually that's not true, the wave the figure was in was actually solicited to UK stores by Hasbro. I don't believe any picked the wave up, but Hasbro's plan was that it would be sold in the UK.

[richay1]

Don't get the scope part?

[PhilTheDrummist]

@richay1 - Scope is a UK charity, it used to be called The Spastic Society or something like that. It had to change its name when people complained about its name having Spastic in it.

[MsAbixxx]

haha! clungenob squarepants! XD

[e7l13]

Will you lot just shut the fuck up!!!!! No one cares what you think!!! Piss off and eat a burger.

[XxNUFCJOExX]

haha tämä on niin hauska

[candyandsugar12]

lol look where buzz lightyear put his straw

[18895Cobra]

It's evolved seperatly from other languages in the 900 year period that England wasn't walked over like Germany and France

[thebigdawg61]

If Americans are puzzled that the Brits use "spastic" for our "cripple" then it should be entertaining teaching them fag, bum and fanny.

[StaraziaSelin66]

@thebigdawg61 We do have those words, they just have a different meaning.

[RelativelyHostile1]

@thebigdawg61 I didn't know americans didn't know what a spastic, bum and a fanny was :p

[HyperShan3]

@thebigdawg61 I would probably dare a friend to go to an American bloke & ask for a spare fag, just to see the reactions.

[JXAChambers]

@thebigdawg61 Americans have this pouch you wear as a belt.. it's called a 'fanny pack'.

[bambamonkey]

transformers robots in permanent care!!

[u2ultimatefan]

@bambamonkey ahhhhh so funny hahahahahahahaha

[GDWGlos]

Little Big Planet music at the end :)

[emzigale07]

Oh for goodness sake, I think it may be time Youtube banned commenting on comedy stuff because people get into ridiculous arguments over nothing. Stop turning every bloody video into petty little wars over whose country is better and have a laugh already, you're supposed to be watching Russell Howard here, not bickering.

[DA296]

best yawn rape opportunity

[MrKay0]

Transformers! Robots in permanant carrreee!

[thesporehero]

LOL this is the funniest toy cock up EVER! How did they not see the problems? And also RunsWithWeasels, you can go hang yourself.

[PrankerDemon]

You English make me glad to be me. I have been known to make some pretty bland insults, but watching you go off on RunsWithWeasels is hilarious. You basically slap compliments and terms at the end of rage comments.

Hey, I'm Italian American. Without the Italian Renaissance you'd be shy on banks, art and literacy. So go off on me then. Be sure to pack a lot of Jersey Shore in there for good measure.

[MrGeorgFTW]

@PrankerDemon I agree with you, but without the British Industrial Revolution, you'd be shy on light bulbs, phones, the Internet, TVs, trains, calculators, toilets, fridges, tin cans, screws, electric motors, electromagnets, jet engines, submarines, vacuum cleaners, toilet paper, umbrellas, waterproof fabrics, torpedoes, rubber bands, lawn mowers, holograms, fax machines, gas masks, car brakes, machine guns, viagra, discoveries of gravity, evolution, DNA and the creation of the English Language!

[Sephiruto]

@MrGeorgFTW I, myself am British and completely agree with you, god knows what we would do if we didn't have knowledge of Gravity. People bouncing from wall to wall in their homes, people floating off into the sky without the knowledge that it's not supposed to be possible, truly terrifying.

[PrankerDemon]

@MrGeorgFTW Light bulbs, light sensitivity due to a kid damaging my eye throwing a pencil in 2nd grade when the projector was on. Phones, almost as bad as the internet (see Internet->) Internet: Too many brave assholes who cower in their basements making threats, I don't know if it's limited to us Americans. TV is a vast waste of time. Calculators made math easier so they came up with Algebra to make everything more difficult. Toilets, I'll shit in a hole in the ground and piss in bushes IDGAF.

[PrankerDemon]

@MrGeorgFTW Fridges, allowing less fresh produce and more industrialized fabricated unhealthy shit. Tin cans: prevent people from learning to grow their own vegetables. Toilet paper? (FYI Renaissance Italians didn't wipe their asses with their hands. That's a racist myth.) Everything else attributes to laziness, pointless wars and corporate uprising. Or bigger old people penises. Either way, thanks. I didn't know I could blame the British for so many things.

[Lostprophetzzz]

@PrankerDemon you can nitpick all you like.. but i dare you to try and adjust to life without all those things.....

[PrankerDemon]

@Lostprophetzzz You didn't read much of what I said did you? There were two comments. Reading comprehension, try it. Aside from the internet, toilets, and T.P., I pretty much do without those things already. Especially television. To hell with NCIS reruns and "SyFy"s shitty CGI monster of the week killing off washed up old actors.

[Lostprophetzzz]

@PrankerDemon so you don't refrigerate your food. you don't use phones or TV.

and you act like you an extremely special person for not taking advantage of our modern conveniences?

well you definitely come across as "special" (but not in the way you intended)

you just seem like the world's most indecisive Amish person....

you end up with the same output as everyone else but you do several times the work to get there... tbh you just strike me as stupid...

[PrankerDemon]

@Lostprophetzzz Oh, so I'm not a lazy oafish slob of a fuck, so I strike you as stupid. Good judgement call, dipshit.

[Lostprophetzzz]

@PrankerDemon no. you are a guy who supposedly rejects convenience and modern luxuries for absolutely no real reason

[PrankerDemon]

@Lostprophetzzz You pretend to know that I do this for "absolutely no real reason" without knowing my reasons behind it. Pretending to know without knowing.. what is it they call people like that? Oh that's right, "stupid".

[enyaw86]

@MrGeorgFTW you didnt write it in his language, he will never understand, i mean if they can't even spell the words colour or grey right then they're fucked

[Sephiruto]

@PrankerDemon Fank u, I dont now wat we wood do wifout literacy. I prisonally hayt Jersey Shore.

[REVer112]

clunge not square pants

[LokkerG]

Can you guys stop talking about RunsWithWeasels opinion? Americans have enough to put up with in their culture. Giving attention to stuff that holds no ground outside the country is not helping people... Anne Colter... but it's not fair to demonize a person's opinions, just because people find it offensive. Let them believe what they want, and allow the better side to evolution resolve the issue.

[jalowitz]

Thanks, lolitapanda1337. I was hoping someone would translate the central term of the scene. The language is clearly diverging in its various locations, both in vocabulary and in pronunciation. I just wish I hadn't had to wade through six pages of dross to find it!

On the substance, this marketing foul up sounds on a par with Chevrolet's ill-fated entry in the Latin American market: the Nova!

[RelativelyHostile1]

what was the first comment that "runswithweasels" said...I want to know cos i'm english and I speak english, and i don't see how 'runswithweasels' can think that the language doesn't belong to english ppl

[MsAbixxx]

@RelativelyHostile1 He says that we don't hold the rights to the english language, which makes no sense...

[RelativelyHostile1]

@MsAbixxx he's a silly bugger then isn't he XD

[MsAbixxx]

@RelativelyHostile1 Haha! lol

Who puts a comment lyk that slagging off British people on a youtube page which almost entirely consists of British people? A definate death wish XD

[RelativelyHostile1]

@MsAbixxx plus, his comment must've had literally no backing what-so-ever. Common sense says that english people hold the right to the english language, it is our language after all ^^

[mtanousable]

@RelativelyHostile1 You may have named it after yourself when you ran the British Empire, but it's actually from the Netherlands and northwestern Germany when the Saxons invaded. That is, if you accept the nonsense of not just having multiple dialects and want to go back to who "had it first" to determine some notion of correctness.

[dali19981998]

@RunsWithWeasels your too funny! you know, you should be a comedian one day!

[RunsWithWeasels]

@AnimeOtaku013 Irony in using 'slag' as a slang expletive in discussion related to Transformers: missed.

Better luck next time, sweetie.

[RunsWithWeasels]

Oh, dear, still going on about this? The level of reading comprehension I see here ranks somewhere just above 'nonexistent'.

The irony inherent in my use of the phrase 'slag off' when talking about something related to Transformers...well, clearly, it sailed right over your heads, and so I do apologize for using it. I probably should have known better than to bring a fusion cannon to a slapfight.

Let me know when the collective IQ of you ridiculous lot gets bigger than my bra size. We'll talk.

[ipodceiling]

@RunsWithWeasels You know, I had no idea bra sizes were measured with triple - or perhaps quadruple - -digit numbers.

On the other hand, I, being male and living in England, do not have the knowledge of bra size measurements out of the extent of the realm in which I inhabit.

[dali19981998]

@RunsWithWeasels you're a prick (OMG SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!) do everyone one a favour? take your head out your own arse and fuck off.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@dali19981998 It WOULD be pretty amazing if I could type blindly while my body was contorted into such a state, right?

How did you manage it? I'd love to know.

[digioverlord]

lol im actually in the TF fanbase and this is sooo true XD i could not beleve it when i saw this on TV!

[StueyTheDuck]

shame on you buzz lightyear :D

[speedtooch1]

I agree with you mate we english ain't like scotts, welsh or Irish and tbh we don't particularly like Americans

[nuttymonkey11]

i spent the whole clip wondering what @RunsWithWeasels said in the first place which made every one reply to it..

[MsAbixxx]

@nuttymonkey11 He said that British people have no right to speak the English language, which makes no sense at all, I bet he's American

[thamutebutton]

@lolitapanda1337 ah thank you..and thats..really offensive.

[MrSkyrimfan]

Britain also invented the tank and every fucking sport they claim also the light bulb is British Edison marketed it

[MrSkyrimfan]

The USA is 300 years old 700 idiots

[TheMusicLoverrx]

Look Where BuzzLightyear's Put His Straw (: xxx

[johnnybriggs118]

Why can't you children (all nations) play nicely? Its supposed to be comedy

[RandomsDeagled]

@dragonx20091 shut up you spastic bitch

[stupidjunk878]

OMG so offensive

[FantasyGirl45]

The shocked cat is cute.

[thamutebutton]

is the word spastic like a offensive word that is like C**t? im from america, here it means hyper..

[airexanimegirl]

To clear up for people, here in England the word 'Spastic' is quite, even highly, offensive.

[RandomsDeagled]

so is spastic like a curse or something? sorry im a dumb donut eating american who is better then you, and i dont feel like looking it up so reply plz.

[HcSillyDOggie]

God Darn it! i thought i hide those toy plans

[Changchey]

Thumbs up if you don't give a shit about language and just liked the video.

[EvertonFC95]

@dragonx20091 couldnt put it better myself

[dexdex1560]

the music at the end sounds like little big planet

[TheWowaddict97]

@dexdex1560 Little big planet took that music

[KingEurasia]

fuck sake, americans will they ever learn? lawl

[billy7211]

@KingEurasia nope theyre a bunch of fucked up "spastics" XD lol :D

[KingEurasia]

@billy7211 haha yes!

[billy7211]

@KingEurasia :D

[ABFan010]

Why the fuck is everyone on about languages? Comment on the video for god's sake!

Oh and btw I like how people are saying that English is crap and yet they speak it LOL, if it wasn't for explorers in the 16th century then USA would probably be speaking a different language.. And piss off with the grammar checks, its Youtube, not a fuckin spelling bee.

[SadSuperheroPresents]

@TheZapzupNZ Yes, we may well have taken words from other languages, but it's better than entirely using someone else's language instead.

[PookieWowza]

well his humour is a bit immature and rude but i stil loled! x)

[SadSuperheroPresents]

@RunsWithWeasels

Well seeing as the English language came from England... yes we do own it. It's our language that WE created, so if you don't like it then go and learn another language.

And also, you don't tell someone to 'slag off' if you want them to leave you alone. You use that term if someone has spoken badly about someone else, so I suggest before you say we don't 'own' our language to learn the correct terms.

[atlantiantokra]

to everyone who keeps saying that england owns the english language, how about we tax other countries when they want to use our language, that way we won't need to pay as much tax ourselves

[SupermarioGeass]

anyone else hear the little big planet theme at the end?

[piplup2009]

you can still import spastic from america but all they did was cover it up with a sticker that says over-run

[applefest1]

Wow I had no idea spastic was an insult

[RodimusMinor1987]

His new name is Over-run

[cold197]

transformers! robots in permanent care!

that made me laugh like a - well, not a machine, but, you know, something that laughs alot XD

[dim432]

Shouldve called the Transformer. Mutant named after A disabled person being a mutant

[Arzaker]

the name was to be used in the meaning of pulling

but because it has different regional meanings conroversy was attracted to a powerful magnet

[ass23ful]

spastic was meant to be a power core combiner

[HappyThoughtsToU]

Zomg my goodness...

[RodimusMinor1987]

I have seen pics off this transformer How offensive is that

[xxxAliceMariexxx]

I love that cat :)

[RodimusMinor1987]

@xxxAliceMariexxx me to

[transformafan34]

Oh thts gd it's very funny

"look where Buzz Lightyear has put his straw!!"

[Darianyy]

optimus nonse clunge nob square pants

[mayesj77]

i sure hope that not a autobot

[doctorwhoone]

@mayesj77 No it's a Decepticon , there was a Newspaper article here in the UK about it a week ago .

[RunsWithWeasels]

And the Brits get it wrong again. Spastic was NEVER going to be released in the UK, no matter WHAT the name attached. Hasbro UK has a long and storied history of releasing perhaps two waves of toys in a given line before moving on to the next line--Spastic's neither in wave 1 nor wave 2.

And, hello, Brits 'net-wide? You don't hold exclusive rights to the English language. Quit acting like you do and slag off. (OMG SEE WHAT I DID THERE)

[Whatupwidat]

@RunsWithWeasels Yeah I see, you used a British insult no-one's used here since 1973. Congrats you groovy cat (OMG SEE WHAT I DID THERE!?)

[whiskasalpha]

@RunsWithWeasels says

"You don't hold exclusive rights to the English language"

YES WE DO!

It is our language and you lot are only borrowing it.. Stop trying to break it!

If thats too difficult for you then give it back and stick to grunting..

[chatty2207]

@whiskasalpha sorry i tried liking but i hit dislike sorry

[RunsWithWeasels]

@whiskasalpha "486 characters remaining". Hmm. Is that enough to respond to such idiocy...

No, I don't think so.

[Segaman19]

@RunsWithWeasels You're not wrong there. Look at how shoddy we in the UK are treated by Hasbro UK. "Never mind about Generations, here, have another shoddily-built toy that you wouldn't touch with a barge-pole." I speak of Stealth-stars which I've seen on shelves and just horrified at the fact they have the look of easily-breakable.

[ferretron11111]

@RunsWithWeasels Funny thing about english is its called english...from england

[pinklollipop1000]

@RunsWithWeasels i think you will find that ENGLAND does hold exclusive rights to the ENGLISH language. We sort of invented it, so i THINK that WE own it. don't like it. make up your own language. then hold exclusive rights over it.

[Myzelfa]

@pinklollipop1000 The sheer wealth of ignorance in that statement moves me to tears... of mirth.

[CelebrityJuiceFan]

@RunsWithWeasels I think you'll find love that we do own the english language you really should do some history.... We gave u the english language so why dont u stop slaging us off (ENGLAND>ENGLISH)

[yeehe1]

@RunsWithWeasels ooh so close except nobody non-obese says 'quit'

[scarletXmay]

@RunsWithWeasels

Yeah except we do, its our bloody language! If you don't like it make up your own.

[TheLukeyboy999]

@RunsWithWeasels  its our language of course we have rights to it u dick head u lot are jsut borrowing it

[underdog111111111111]

@RunsWithWeasels 2 words BRITISH EMPIRE remember BRITISH EMPIRE u were a colony so the english language comes from England but is made up from Latin, French, German the only words i can think of from america is mcdonalds and kfc coincidence i think not case closed

[loweydude220]

@underdog111111111111 McDonalds sounds scottish to me though...

[OnTheRoad11100]

@RunsWithWeasels calm down dear

[jmsallan90]

@RunsWithWeasels LMFAO. Shut up you inbred little tit. Thinking your hard cos your on youtube. Yeh i understand what your saying. NAAYYTTTTTT. I think i speak for everyone here when i say.OBV WE DO NOW PISS OFF. (OMG SEE WHAT I DID THERE)

[RunsWithWeasels]

@jmsallan90 Riiiiight, I'm the one who spent time thinking I'm hard, sure. How brave you are...reading it now, it's...it's kind of making me hot.

(lying)

[Sargeey11]

@RunsWithWeasels

Umm.. mate. Have you noticed its called the ENGLISH language from ENGLAND -.-'

[twelveofaces]

@RunsWithWeasels hey dude im from england and im useing you language yeah totaly

if your upset that we speak the same as you why not make your own language eh!?

[MissLouiseeMary]

@RunsWithWeasels British people don't hold exclusive rights to the English language? Do you know where the english language came from? ENGLAND. That is a patch of land in BRITAIN. Go buy a map.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@MissLouiseeMary I've several. Would you like to borrow one? You may need it, if you're going to start calling aaaaalllll the other nations where English is an official language to tell them, "Hey--STOP. Stop it now."

It's a pretty big list. Would you like the Wikipedia link, or can you find it yourself?

[MissLouiseeMary]

@RunsWithWeasels Its called ENGLISH for a reason. I know other countries use it, im not an idiot who seems to think english people dont have the rights to there own language.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@MissLouiseeMary I said 'exclusive' rights. There's that comprehension thing again.

[MissLouiseeMary]

@RunsWithWeasels Oh my god. Just do everyone a favour and shut up. Thank you.

[amonlycommentin]

@RunsWithWeasels Geez :( Your silly little spat made me go all the way to the 12th page. I'm English. Yes, English is a nationality exclusive to England and it is also a language. People are right, after many, many different times of people taking over England, the language has developed into something exclusively ours. I'm rather offended, though, RunsWithWeasels, you seem to not understand English history that well. If there were enough characters left, i would give you a lengthy explanation.

[amonlycommentin]

@RunsWithWeasels In fact, I am replying again. I'm trying to be polite - though you have angered me with your non too descreet slagging of the English. Yes, too be fair, it's a game of tit for tat but I felt I needed to join in with the reasoning. I understand as, in my history classes, the natives inhabited Amerca first but, however, Pilgrims from England arrived with their language - English - and began colonising. Really, you are all decendants of imigrants from other countries or natives :\

[startrekwarsmixguy]

@RunsWithWeasels Slag off means to put down, or to make offence, fuck off would be more accurate, and it's called ENGLISH for a reason

[littlestrawblover]

@RunsWithWeasels

Uh... yeah we do!

who do you think owns the ENGLISH language other than ENGLAND?

[RunsWithWeasels]

@littlestrawblover Got a copyright claim to show me?

No? Go on, keep searching, maybe you'll find it.

Still nothing? Ah, well.

[littlestrawblover]

@RunsWithWeasels Uh, yeah actually... but I'm affraid that either belongs to the queen or prime minister

feel owned yet?

[RunsWithWeasels]

@littlestrawblover Nope. Keep trying, though; maybe you'll pull something off!

[littlestrawblover]

@RunsWithWeasels Fine... this actually amuses me so back chat if you want, this is funny :)

[nuttymonkey11]

@RunsWithWeasels it IS our language, you fucktard. it's called ENGLISH for a reason..ITS FROM FUCKING ENGLAND! some americans really piss me off sometimes..

[RunsWithWeasels]

@nuttymonkey11 You're not exactly on the path to winning friends and influencing people on our side of the pond, either.

A shame. The Brits I know in real life (as opposed to the Big Bad Johns hiding behind screennames here) are absolutely lovely people, and I'm absolutely thankful that I may call all of them friends.

[LondoninColouredRain]

@RunsWithWeasels Wow, it actually amazes me how ignorant you are.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@LondoninColouredRain See reply to Stashnaklov.

[LondoninColouredRain]

@RunsWithWeasels Fuck off. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't even exist.

[Stashnaklov]

@RunsWithWeasels It amazes me how much of a retard you are.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@Stashnaklov Feeling's mutual. On your part, however, it's very much misplaced.

[Stashnaklov]

@RunsWithWeasels Understandable, despite the fact you seem to have missed the many comments talking about how we created and hold "exclusive rights" to the English language.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@Stashnaklov Didn't miss them. The British don't hold such rights. For the record, neither do the Americans, the Canadians, the...do I REALLY need to go on?

[MsAbixxx]

@RunsWithWeasels

Slag off?! In your case spastic is the perfect word!

We discovered America, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't even be here XD And we fucking invented the ENGLISH language, you just borrowed it :P

[RunsWithWeasels]

@MsAbixxx You discovered America? If you're British, I have to ask--really? Are you sure? Would you...would you like to think about that for a moment?

[MsAbixxx]

@RunsWithWeasels

What the Hell are you talking about? come back when you make the slightest bit of sense :P and I am British if that's what your asking and if it weren't for us, you wouldn't even exist!

[SiriusPunk]

@RunsWithWeasels And the Americans get it wrong again. Do you know what a slag is?

Keep your crappy ideas about English to yourself, it is our language to use as we want. Also, if Hasbro UK reported that they were cancelling the commission of a new toy just before christmas then I think it's safe to say that's what happened.

[RunsWithWeasels]

@SiriusPunk The situation was far more involved than your simple misstatement. Please research.

[Rukia123123]

@RunsWithWeasels ur a dickhead



[TheEFoy11]

@RunsWithWeasels "You (in Britain) don't hold rights to the English language"

Ummm...so why is there a country in the UK called...ummm, sorry what was i-oh, right!

ENGLAND?!

[RunsWithWeasels]

@TheEFoy11 If you're going to quote me, QUOTE ME. Your comment would've been less foolish if it lacked the poor editing job.

[KneeVAwesomeness]

@RunsWithWeasels What the fuck dude? You are just being an arse, a very stupid one...Ever noticed the language is ENGLISH and it's from...whatsemacall it.....oh yeah...ENGLAND!!!!

[EpicMcWinface]

@RunsWithWeasels What? We have no right to our own language? PLEASE, tell me how the fuck that works?

[biglipsmumbasah]

@RunsWithWeasels piss off back to watching your pokemon and kiddies anime

[ExuNavarinIdara]

Fantastic, just saw this and had to find the vid to share.

The title kinda ruins the joke though, maybe change it to just "Transformer" and put spastic in the tags?

[Darianyy]

spastic great name

[StigsIrishNiece]

OMG Kitteh! =P
