  • sounds as LA is in serious need for public transportation so less ppl need to use the freaking car to get from one point to another.

  • You guys don't know shit. Come to europe with your car and see how that works out for you.

  • hahhahaha... suckers..

  • Ventura :D

  • Haha i always love this animations!!!

  • Lol this was toltally irrelevent to like 90-95% of ur audience but it was funny to see u guys biqer , Dont get me started on the 63!! (Alberta City reverence anyone get it?)

  • ohh i thought they were gona talk about the old game carmageddon... that game was fucking sweet

  • Lol there was a high speed chase during carmageddon

  • if the 405 has cartoon birds then I say it's the best highway ever

  • Yeah, public transportation would be great, but the thing is, California is in a huge budget crisis. Taxes would help, but taxes are an evil thing to suggest, so services become evil too...

  • and the freeways were wide open the whole weekend hahahha

  • this whole video is just them arguing about when the best time to go on the 405 is...

  • Don't live in LA. That's all there is to it.

  • the birds are tweets >.>

  • That was hilarious.

  • LA desperately needs to invest in rail. There is no reason why the 3rd (or 2nd ) most populous city shouldn't have better public transportation.

  • like this discussion :) even if it is irrelevant to everything

  • how about improving our mass transport systems so shit like this doesn't happen?

  • California, try something called light rail

  • I love how TYT conversations devolve so much.

  • Ana! You were wrong! During Carmageddon, nobody was on the streets! haha.

  • 29 miles in 30 minutes sounds pretty good to me. Try living in the mountains where it takes 30 minutes to drive 15 miles with no traffic.

  • Commute sometimes taking more than 25 minutes in big city, shocker.

  • blue bird=twitter~~~Man, I don't even do the twitter thing and ef'n hate IT!

  • Lol, I love NMA!

  • Why can't we just build a fucking bullet train? We already spend billions on fixing freeways. Let's build into the future.

  • Here's what Southern California needs... PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!!

  • I flew into LAX on Sunday, the 405 wasn't that bad... though we did have to take a lot of surface streets to get to Hollywood and Burbank then over to East Los Angeles...

  • WHAT! You're complaining about it taking 30 minutes to get to work??? I live 6 miles from work and it takes me 25 minutes to get to work. IN CLEVELAND. I've been to LA 3 times now and every single time, except on Halloween, driving through LA was a DREAM!

    However I will admit on Halloween when everybody on their dog, literally their dogs, was trying to get into Hollywood I could have punched a baby. But thankfully God invented Google maps and was able to get around the side streets.

  • This reminds me of the conversations my family has had since the Mercier was shut down near Montreal.

  • Ana is so hot when she gets passionate about stories

  • Solution; spend some fucking money on public transport! L.A. is just hopeless.

  • cenk woulda been smackin down the deniers 

  • I think it's funny this is a political talk show, but the one subject that gets everyone fired up and talking over each other (in front and behind the cameras) is LA traffic.

  • The real problem that causes traffic is that people don't know how to fucking drive!! They don't know to drive, and there is NO COURTESY anymore! If people would let others merge and if those fuckers that get on the highway wouldn't fucking slow down as they try to get on this wouldn't be a problem!! Learn how to drive! Press the gas when you're getting on the freeway! Those cars are going 60+MPH for fuck's sake! You are going to cause an accident trying to get on a 60+mph freeway at ONLY 30mph!

  • Also! If someone is trying to change lanes, don't be a fucking douche and speed up! If they slow down in front of you, CHANGE LANES and go around them instead of not letting people who really need to change lanes and get off the freeway do so! I hate when people do that! I will have a car length or two between me and the guy behind me in the next lane. I turn on my blinker, the fucker speeds up and doesn't let me change lanes. He'd been in the same spot behind my car for at least a mile. Fucker!

  • People just fucking suck at driving cause they probably suck at life! No reason to be so shitty to someone on the road. Also, people who really can't drive for shit, SHOULDN'T!! I mean WHAT THE FUCK! Seriously? 45 in a 70? If you have no one in front of you, and you're trying to change lanes, and the fucker in the next lane doesn't slow down to let you in... SPEED UP and get in front of the cock sucker instead of slowing down traffic in your lane!

  • that's what you get for not having public transportation! if train traffic is 10 minutes, I'm pissed!

  • Do these losers at TYT ever talk about current news? Everything they say is OLD news? Flag them down for Spamming Youtube everyday!!

  • Carmaggedon?

    Wasn't there a 10 DAY fucking traffic jam in china? LMAO

  • OMG, stop putting "THE" in front of NAMES. I wouldn't say "THE LOS ANGELES"

  • It's funny to watch the word salad the interactive transcript feature comes up with for anyone without a crisp californian accent.

  • Chicago has mass transit, LA doesnt...

  • 2:50 - Ain't that the truth, I deal with that shit every single day.

  • So what hte fuck is the deal with LA Train? does it not exist?

    BTW, the worst god damn city train in the world is where I live, Calgary, why the fuck does the train got to stop for traffic? why isnt it above or below the traffic level? and with the stampede on, your packed in there like sardines frm dusk till dawn.

  • One thing to make sure to do when in LA avoid the 405.

  • Hey 'Merika: try to panic some more. You're calm is beginning to show.

  • @UberNoodleX

    'your'

  • @ThebanPhalanx 'Typo'. They happen from time to time.

    And it's YouTube. So your point was, what?

  • hahaha

  • ana looks hotter than normal

  • i never understood how people could have such extensive and passionate discussions about traffic conditions

  • don't you have a subway or something...

  • Nothing is worse than the 101 or the 110 going through downtown LA. NOTHING! On the freakin weekend at 1:00 am, the 101 is jam packed from downtown through Hollywood.

  • LMAO! I was going 70MPH the whoooole way.

    I guess I take going 90MPH in Oklahoma for granted.

    And if any law enforcement officers are reading this... I'm only joking. O_o

  • A 2-day construction project during the weekend is the end of the world?

  • Birds = TWEETING. Get it? In any case, Next Media animations ROCK!!

  • This is not Carmageddon...TWISTED METAL is carmageddon...this is just people complaining for no reason.

  • I was expecting something more drastic upon hearing "carmageddon"...like freeways exploding, 100 car pile-ups, etc... not just really bad traffic.

    And I don't understand the point of showing that clip either.

  • haha nobody watches this crap

  • the blue birds were Tweets, you fuckwits XD

    I'm not even ON Twitter and I know that shit :P

  • The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Yet again, "Carmageddon" will bring only havic to the LA area. Actually no. Everything was fine this weekend. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Obama says we must raise the debt ceiling. Actually no. He cuts spending, and everything is fine. Next?
  • TYT in HD dream come true :)

  • Damn, if I lived in a place that has monster traffic every day of the week, I would just get a bike or a moped, and not use a car until I'm 50, or if I break a rib or something. I mean, why spend an hour in traffic every day? Not using your brain people.

  • WHY DOESN'T ANYTHING MADE BY ASIANS MAKE SENSE. creative basterds

  • Just get an motorbike jeeez

  • I live in LA and I can tell you first hand that there was no disaster this weekend, and the freeway will be open any minute now. So the lesson learned is that this city needs a large glass of shut up juice!

  • Waaa...Waaaa....Stop bitching and take a bus, car pool, etc. Then traffic wouldn't be so bad. Too bad the LA princesses won't ride on a bus.

  • Fuck L.A. bunch of pricks.

  • @deathtotheism You'd fit right in.

  • Come to Toronto Ana and drive on the 401....busiest in N/A

  • Try the M25 around London. Thousands of European Drivers all clogged up in one section of road. People go missing for months....

  • That's why I'm happy I live in NY where the pedestrian to cars ratio is like 100 to 3. Subways ftw

  • I don't even live in the US, this is like the most irrelevant story of all time. But I still laughed so fucking hard. These conversations are the reason I love TYT.

  • birds? its a twitter comment. welcome to the internet, actually not welcome please leave

  • Is she saying "Mobile Breitband" in 5:43? Its funny German/Englisch Mixlanguage... :-)

  • @efg36 she's saysing "mobile broadband" which is not a mix at all, but entirely english. I guess you are just a german who hears what he wants to hear. At least that's funny for you.

  • @efg36 It's "broadband". And it's not just in German and English. In Sweden, for example, it's called "bredband" and pronounced almost the same.

  • @funnycatsvid thanks

  • How about making a working public transportation system in LA?

  • yeah Montréal is fucked up

  • Aren't the birds tweets?

  • @Fifty1stState That's what I thought as well.

  • @Fifty1stState @ 0:58 he types a message to say, gonna be delayed then hits send and a tweet flies away.

    Then @ 1:30 two women who are havnig an affair with the guy go to the park to meet him, he realises his mistake and tries to get them to not meet at the same place, hence all the birds = tweets saying leave now! (okay a bit of artistic license there)

  • @Fifty1stState I like that Anna and Richards frames of reference our out of syn with me. But then again these animations have a whole meaning of their own. I may be wrong. Might even be a Thunderbird e-mail!

  • Transcribe makes it awesome.

  • Nobody cares about L.A. but people that live in L.A.. Nobody else gives a shit.

  • I like how this was a big deal and nothing fucken happened.

  • 29 miles? Thats basically another country to me.

  • @flake452 Cities in the Western U.S. are so spread out, it's unreal.

  • So is the 405 the American equivalent of the British M25? Cos the M25 is fucking hellish :/ also, I love how quickly this devolved into an argument about how bad traffic is in LA lol

  • annas advertisement at the end cracks me up hahahaha

  • I love that there are words for Twitter and Carmageddon in Taiwanese.

  • People dont understand trafic flow, and turns out nothing happened...shocking.

  • When I first heard about "Carmageddon" I thought "this could be interesting" but when I read more abut I found out that all it is is a bunch of traffic jams which really isn't news anywere anymore

  • Why do you live 29 miles away from the studio if you know that there will always be traffic?

  • What happend to cenk ? :(

  • Mass transit, people. Imagine half of those idiots in cars now sitting in a bus or a subway train.

  • @chenalos That's what I don't understand. Some of the major metro cities I know of in most of the western world has a functional transit system. Yet, I'm hearing LA people hardly uses transportation system? And It's the second most populous city in N. America? How ridiculous! And I don't want to hear excuses how not safe it is either. That can be applied to London, Toronto, and New York City as well, and they are perfectly fine using transit.

  • so r u not counting mexico city or new york? they are quite a bit larger than l.a. @desireechick

  • i love those asian animations! XD i remember the jersey shore one.

  • Do what kobe bryant does whenever they play at staples center he catches a helicopter from his house in orange county to staples center because traffic is that bad.

  • Pussies! Try driving in northern Virginia. We have overlapping Metro and Beltway construction that will be going on for YEARS.

    All this fuss over something that will only last 2 days?

  • wtf is up with this add....

    

  • Every month we drive to Loma Linda, they having been working on the same fucking stretch of highway for a year and a half now. Every time we pass it's all dirt and barricades yet you NEVER see anyone working.

    Starting to think road work in California is a giant scam and they just move barricades and dirt around every few years lol

  • @Xenite227 no shit dude, its the same way down in San Diego. I think they just put up and take down road cones every night, and thats all they do.

  • Look at Jayar in the back there, swivelling in his chair like a don

  • As others have pointed out, the bit at the end tells you where you can find them on Twitter, that's what the birds are about. But anyone who watches NMAWorld edition probably already said so.

  • I think those birds are suppose to represent Twitter..if it hasn't been said already.

  • ZOMG NOT  THE 405

  • Anna is hot

  • The solution is for humans to stop making babies.

  • are these the same ppl that created the jersey shore animation news???

  • @anjingkuda Yup, and Tiger Woods, and the Jet Blue attenant among others :)

  • I thought of the old game Carmageddon...

  • This is why I like living in NYC

    

  • Taiwan news animation >>>> Fox news.

  • WTF is on Jayar's hand? Is this a new hairtie trend? :P

  • Why do ppl in Taiwan give a fuck about traffic updates in L.A? Jesus i thought our news was bad.

  • @chefawkes this Taiwanese Animation was broadcasted by a Taiwan cable news channel here in LA. It wasn't broadcasted in Taiwan. Do some research before you criticize.

  • Try the 401 across Toronto. It's forever being repaired and updated. 12-14 lanes each way and counting.

  • @TheInternetWanderer How about coming to Montreal ? traffic is way more fucked up then in Toronto !

  • @TheInternetWanderer Some Toronto roads are retarded, especially with those stupid street car tracks to deal with. I'm starting to think they are not meant to be driven on. They say the city is literally a grid. I say I was terrible with grids in math class, I don't know how I can deal with a grid in Toronto. Some metro cities' roads are truly awful.

  • @TheInternetWanderer lol ya and driving it during rush-hour is a nightmare

  • @TheInternetWanderer was just going to point this out, the 401 across the GTA is the busiest stretch of highway in north america dont complain LA ppl

  • @TheInternetWanderer Canadian construction workers suck, it took my school 4 years to be rebuilt, and it isn't that big of a school.

  • @TheInternetWanderer Lol I know they have no idea how bad the 401 is. The busiest roadway in North America and I don't know to tell you the truth if I've ever not seen parts of it under construction.

  • 3:11 Steve is eating chinese food LOL. classic!

  • I walk.

  • Carmageddon was avoided by a great fear campaign.

  • I want Anna

  • @nintwiggy6491 - We all want Anna! :))

  • I'm from Virginia where traffic is nice and easy... unless something goes wrong. The instant shit happens EVERYTHING FREEZES. I'm 15 miles east of Washington and it takes an hour to get into DC on a GOOD day.

  • god dan I'm so glad I don't live in LA anymore

  • Where's Cenk :(

  • When it comes to driving... Asian guy needs to shut the fuck up

  • @TheManSand322 I know an Asian blind guy that drives better than you. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! 

  • Get RID of this old man, PLEASE.

  • I LOVE this convo haha (being from the "valley") and having to (not) take the 405...I know how it is....But cant imagine how confused others not around this area are after/during the video hahha

  • How the f' did tyt get such an awesome fricking cast? Everybody f'n rocks! (-Ana)

  • holy shit that was hilarious

  • the 405...the 101... I'm so proud to be from NorCal where we correctly refer to highways by simply saying,"101" or "880" or "680"...NorCal PRIDE!!!

  • Fuck! Take surface streets!

  • I like this Vid... just a bunch of friends chewing the fat... nice.

  • Get a motorbike people...

    

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • ANNA YOUR HOT

  • I do not want to hear 405 again. Ever. I am so glad I don't have to ride it every morning to get to work anymore.

  • Oh the Asian guy! I like him.

  • that little jive from 1:10 to 1:18 is the perfect game show music...AND THANKS FOR PLAYIN....(audience shouts) LOSE - YOUR - SHIRT!

    Good night everyone!!!

  • the birds i think were carrier pigeons delivering the text messages

  • New Jersey traffic seems just as bad as LA traffic. Ok maybe not but next to it.

  • if you hate traffic in LA, move to san jose. its just like LA but smaller, less crazy, and not fucking hot 365 days a year. norcal ftw

  • Traffic is the saddest example of humans trying to cope with over population. You could take a bicycle down most city highways faster than a 300 hp modern car. Civilization is regressing in technology.

  • Ana Kasparian you are one sexy bitch.

  • Speaking as a Californian, traffic in my state is srs bsnss.

  • I am sick of hearing about "Carmageddon". Guess what LA? The rest of the nation doesn't give a shit! Just fucking stay home for a couple days this weekend. Big fucking deal.

  • @shadowfaxx1

    rofl

  • @shadowfaxx1 sure because u dont live out here or else u would be in our boat.

  • @WhatsAfterThisPlace Cry me a river.

  • With her holding those 2 phones I can only think about face fucking her.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa just saw that traffic is running pretty smooth in all los angeles this was another over blown news media story

  • tell us more. this is really intriguing stuff to everyone not living in L.A.

  • YEAH I'M FROM CHICAGO TOO. Traffic here doesn't sound as bad in L.A.

  • That was the least funniest of the many Taiwan animations from Next Media.

  • Ana is the sexiest woman alive!

  • @UserUnfriendly21 Very cute to be sure, but sexiest?  Nope.

  • Ana seems to have this glow about her today. she looks great

  • Glad I live in PA, all the traffic I have is cow herds and pot holes.

  • I've only driven in LA once, and even I know the horrors of the 405.

    But then, LA in general is pretty horrifying.

  • Misleading. I though they meant Carmageddon as in the classic game where you run over pedestrians. Now THAT would've been a headline worthy of "Carmageddon!" :)
