It saddened me that people prefer to talk about his accent or people laughing rather than talking about the concept of how skewed our society toward "dumbification of youth"
Or maybe this is what Craig feared of, kids want to be young and to be stupid.
This vid made me think of Obama supporters right away!
I remember last years 4th of July parade where I live.
When the Obama Democrats car drove by, filled with STUPID YOUNG PEOPLE, many of us older folks BOO'ed them! They were holding signs saying something like, WE DESERVE HEALTHCARE.
This is some kind of incredible. As a former ad guy I've been guilty but no more. Craig Ferguson really hit the nail on the head here. Incredibly insightful.
As far as the laughter from the audience, replace it with the braying of sheep or the cackle of chickens whenever someone makes a sudden movement that the chickens don't understand. C'mon people, let's grow up and evolve already, okay?
@sheikhfred I couldn't agree more. I learned in Psych class a while ago that when circumstances don't fit the beliefs you hold true to yourself but you can't get out of the sticky situation, you are stuck with a little something referred to as 'cognitive dissonance'. Basically, think that the audience doesn't exactly know what to make of his genius rant. What's an appropriate reaction? They don't know what to think. So they laugh nervously to make up for the lack of a real comfortable response.
@PoetryInM0tion I agree. This rant is great, but the audience doesn't really know how to handle it. They figure they should laugh because he's a comedian, so they laugh. It's totally out of place.
I found his commentary on contemporary America to be fairly accurate, not really that funny though. With that being said, the audience was pretty fucking annoying and exemplified characteristics of the inexperienced youth that he was talking about. :-\
@erikofspades Wow, didn't know they had to coach people to laugh. I admit it's sorta an integral part of talk shows, but overdoing it just defeats the purpose and the show winds up coming off pretty fake and jaded.
@fikerk Yeah I didn't like it either. Their instructions were like "LAUGH REALLY LOUD AT EVERYTHING HE SAYS. EVEN IF IT ISN'T FUNNY" Yeah, doesn't come off that well.
@fuzzybear718 Now that I listen more closely I can tell your right, it's just that his delivery reminds me of some other British comedians (namely John Oliver)
From what I see from this comments section I can see there's lots of youth who can't even concentrate to listen to someone for what? 3 minutes? I fear for our future when you guys become adults....
Really, what should I expect from youtube comment section anyway...... sigh

notice how he occationally looks down and he's reading? well that proves that this guy has no humor and is a fake. or just can't remember any damn lines.
@823blackcat He's looking at people in the audience. Do you think with one glance he can remember 40-50 words? Eye contact is part of the intimate experience.
@823blackcat Say...you ever hear of teleprompter. It's a little thing that people have been using. They've been used for quite a while, for about roughly about 60 years. It's not uncommon for people in television to use them.
