  • its pretty funny that you guys are political commentators, yet you dont seem to understand political advertising. Its not about wanting change, its about showing how the other side havent done what they promised. therefore making your party look better.

  • I have a suggestion for these little conservative spoiled brats who think life owes them a living. If you can not find a job join the Marines. Maybe if you contributed something to society first you would have the right to ask for something in return. This country doesn't owe you a job just because you graduated from college. This country doesn't owe you a starting salary in 6 figures. This country owes you nothing.

    Welcome to the world of getting your asses kicked. PUT ON YOUR GAME FACE.

  • Here is the reality of the situation. These conservative college grads are whining about there being no jobs. What they are really saying is that companies are not going to hire them at the salaries they are expecting. You're a college grad with a degree in Philosophy...SO WHAT.

    I interview these little conservative pricks and they expect to be hired at a salary that is paid to someone with 15 years experience. HERE IS YOUR CHECK..IT'S CALLED REALITY.

    You should have learned that in college

  • THESE ANCHORS ARE TERRIBLE. AND BIASED. AND UNPROFESSIONAL.

  • @Cn3909 No, that's FOX you're thinking of.

  • Why the hell are the young Turks so popular? Oh wait I forgot, America is spiraling down into a pile of debt and the moral values of the US are constantly being destroyed by the left, which seems to be growing every day.

  • Everyone Wake Up!

    Obama is Destroying this country!

    For Gods sake we elected a freaking Community Organizer to run us off a cliff!

    Vote that dumb ass out of office!

  • I hate President Obama!! Obama is a bad president nobody wants Obama to be president just Obama-lovers!!!! I'm a Republican and I can't stand Obama!!!! Repeal Obama!!!

  • @rebelgirl34 why is he bad?

  • @rebelgirl34 actually dont answer that. because it will be a cookie cutter answer.

  • @rebelgirl34 Before people said this of Bush, and Clinton before him, ALL politicians suck!

  • I hate President Obama!! Obama is a bad president nobody wants Obama to be president just Obama-lovers!!!!

  • I’m glad the young GOP’ers are anxious for President Obama to deliver on what they perceived as the “promises”. Hang in there young Righties, the change will come. It took the GOP 8 years to drive this country to near collapse and now they want an instant turn around? When we get the house back and a Senate with a backbone, along with real 60 votes, you’ll see the change. Thank you young righties for keeping up the hope.

  • I'm disappointed in Barack, but I know the GOP is totallly working for the super-rich.

    Maybe it's time for a real revolution

  • Wow, you guys are calling the kettle black. More and more college people thinking beyond your comments such as the focus on the actors. Can't you focus on what young college students are upset about. Get real! The spending is out of control and you want the same ol' crap?! People are tired of the media bull@#T. FOCUS PEOPLE FOCUS...

  • But if they were Republicans they never supported Obama's ideas or rooted for him so the whole ad makes 0 sense.

  • Ad = WEAK.

  • Ana Kasparian THERE ARE NO PICS OF HER SHOWING HER BODY. NO ONE HAS SEE HER FEET BE FOR

  • That was the dumbest commercial ive ever seen. A bunch of soundbites from some hot chicks? At least its entertainment...

  • And he never called me back! and made out with Beckie behind my back!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa

    C

  • they really wanted to say was NIGGER

  • You dumb Bitch, He certainly did Change a lot of things. Jobs don't just appear over night. We Americans are just impatient and start pointing fingers when we don't get instantaneous results. Bogus.

  • @adamacin34 It's when those jobs never appear that causes problems. Obama said the debt would be in half two years ago. It's higher than ever. You need to wake up my friend.

  • U played this lib thg well to get on MSNBC well done...u sold ur soul for the big time and the destruction of ur country... You aren't for the pres unless he believes like u are told to

  • lol, None of the students in that Video were Black

  • @rohannesburg Why does that matter? I thought we were equal?

  • @aProudNRAMember just sayin, dude sorry if I offended you, I know were all equal

  • this man resembles a retarded muppet. i'm pretty sure that there are a hell of a lot more conservatives than libs though. ask your representative he would know, oh, wait...

  • Change?

    What change? Still banker bailouts, still horrible schools, closed door politics, secrecy, health care costs are rising, bigger government, bigger spending, less results, more troops in the middle east (even contractors) "promoting democracy," while borrowing more money from china to prop up oppressive regimes. Can one progressive out there give me one change he has made to american politics? The same would have been done by Bush or McCain. It's pathetic.

  • sounds like a dumb bitch i once dated.... whore.

  • How the hell are republicans even using this crap on people THEY didnt vote for ANYTHING...

  • @smdiddy And not to start anything, but they were all white, I thought the GOP is trying to get non-white voters? How can they when their young "hipster" kids put this stuff out?

  • that ad was corny as hell what "young person" would look at that and be like yeah!

    cenk 100% what i was thinking it was insulting as hell

  • OH shoot, didnt they figure this one out,

    it was Republicans who were trying to act like they were the young voters of 2008.

    How silly is this haha.. trying act like they voted for him.

    if you were not for health care reform, then your stupid if you voted for him 2008

  • I was in absolute stitches over "you didn't give us chaaaange!"

  • obama stimulated my package

  • @Pull0utBoy :(

  • America needs to be alert on the level the high school diplomas are reached out !

  • @cafecitoforme Uh, Obama invaded Pakistan, and expanded the war in Afghanistan, and we are STILL in Iraq.

    Social Security is a ponzi scheme that in not sustainable.

    Not to mention that Obama bailed out his crook friends on Wall St. just like Bush did!

    He also signed the Patriot Act back into law.

    Debt, wars, corporate welfare, spying on citizens... The Republicans suck, you are right about that, but you also need to look in a mirror, and be HONEST with yourself.

  • The change was to stop the wars. I know a lot of republicans that voted for obama because they didn't like how bush was going to war and helping out all the big oil companies etc... a lot of younger republicans switched to vote for obama for these great changes. So I could see that, as a voice of republicans who voted for obama, it is sad to see that the key issues were not resolved, and instead he tried to push more legistration and problems.

  • 2:46 LOL...

  • @marcodavidconde haha i lol'd too. its like cartman talking

  • "I don't know if they could find 8 young republican college students these days." That line in itself shows what a ignorant piece of trash Cenk is. How could anyone respect this moron's opinion? Amazing.

  • @cafecitoforme You couldn't be more retarded if you suffered a major head injury.

  • Obama wanted to be the proctologist of young republicans!

  • 0:30 Ana is NOT HAVING IT.

    I fucking love me some Ana.

  • i voted for obama at age 18. i was very excited to vote. i watched every interview with both mccain and obama and every debate. i researched both of their backgrounds and expirience and views. this commercial in no way supports my views as a young voter. thank you

  • Haha its like that old show Clueless, what a diss

  • Cenk and Ana's discussions was way off. College Republicans got together to make an ad. THEY WERE NOT TRYING TO REPRESENT COLLEGE REPUBLICANS BUT COLLEGE STUDENTS. Of course college republicans didn't want Obama's agenda.

    Cenk also said (jokingly) you probably couldn't find a college republican these days. Even if the statement is sarcastic, it is out of touch. I'm in Utah and I was knee deep in republicans at the two colleges I attended.

    Sincerely,

    Disappointed

  • @adamscameron5 huh? they absolutely were representing republicans NOT college students in general, and also cenks statement isnt really out of touch because polls show young ppl favor obama...and bro you live in utah...its not surprising your a republican.

  • @truckbiz15 I feel your wrong on three points. 1-Where can you definitively say the ad is a representation of republicans? It's people disenchanted with Obama's version of change

    2-I agree that most college students are democrats but just because 75% of students vote democrat doesn't mean you couldn't find one republican. 1 out of 4 wouldn't be hard to find. (I don't know the percentage)

    3-I'm a staunch Democrat. But occasionally (not often) Cenk or Jon Stewart are off point much to my chagrin

  • Well at least the girls looked fuckable

    Lets put our differences aside and fuck

    They need a national sex day

    and a national masturbation day

    where every one stays home ..... beats off..... and does a whole lot of fuckin

    I'll ask the girl in math class if she wants to celebrate with me.

  • I have to agree on some comments saying what do you expect? republicans keep voting no to everything, and also did you honestly think 2 years was gona be enough to go from as far down as we got, back to 100%? also i recall people within 6 months were saying that the economy was getting worse and I was like "its only 6 months! this isnt a videogame you cant expect to get to the "you win" screen in a couple of hours."

  • I like Ana's "wait for the soundeffect to end" face.

  • reminds me of an advertisement on yt "right shirts done right" its a shirt with the yellow happy face....and it says IMAGINE no liberals.

    using symbolism of the drug culture referances to a radically left song made by a left diety to slam the left? i mean they got nothing from top to bottom its just crazy grasping at strws or true nonsense. this commercial while stunningly dumb isnt surprising and seems to be in line with the spirit of how they do things.

  • so what i learned from that ad was that young white people in a wealthy family fear a black man in power.

  • I think Barack W. Bush is doing fine... he will probably butcher more civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan than Bush did in Iraq...

    I personally don't vote... "if voting changed anything it'd be illegal"

  • These "college" students were acting like DITSY MIDDLE SCHOOLERS.

  • Sorry ass ad by the GOP!

  • The fact that they are called republikkkan college students is so fucked up. I thought college was supposed to enlighten you, not make you republikkkan. Even these kids in the commercial come accross as independent, not republikkkans.

  • Bullcrap!! Obama did give us change!!! It's the only thing we have in our pockets these days.

  • Cenk is just pissed that he got played by obama and so did many others.

  • Barack's biggest mistake - not getting a vote on THE PUBLIC OPTION.

  • Young people 18-28, don't like republicans.

  • I cant believe Ana almost naively got taken in by that insane ad, just as well Cenk was there to put her straight and enlighten her.

  • That is officially the MOST annoying advert in the hole world. Ugh

  • @dreamsatsea *whole* Hearing those annoying voices must have got to me

  • It's the gossip girl perspective of barack obama, young voters were only interested in obama because he's cool, he's hanging out with celebrity, hope and change woo hoo. Because all young voters were naive and vapid, but now were wised up, it's over barack, this is treating the voters who are disillusioned with Obama as dumb, so i'm not sure it will so effective.

  • @Remus0387 That's not necessarily true. The reason that I voted for Obama is because he is black!

  • If someone was dumb enough to vote for Obama because they thought he was "cool" then they're probably dumb enough to think that they'll get what they want by going the opposite direction, to the right, instead of pushing Obama further left.

  • @hannahmobrien nice one, i think some have already done that :/ I voted for Obama, am i disappointed? Yes, but i always like to remind myself that things could have been worse if a republican was president. We definitely need to get Obama back on track instead of sucking up to the Cons

  • like 4 out of 5 young turks videos have republican ads next to them. anybody else get that

  • It's been 2 years. Big change takes time. Obama could be more aggressive but it'll take some time to do all the tings people want done.

  • Not even the youth have this view...very sick indeed.

  • I cringed so much I'm still in pain.

  • The thing is this. People are impatient. Voters expect the change Pres. Obama promise to make. But here is the reality: Change takes years to come. With everything we're going through, it's not going to disappear in one night..or one year. And with the right-wing not wanting any support what so ever, change won't come if people keep supporting the right side and continue being lazy asses. So really, if you're that impatient, you have a problem.

  • One of my favourite scenes from a movie is in "Stand by me" when the kid has a gun pointed at keifer sutherlands' character and sutherlands' character says "what are you going to do kill us all all?" and the kid says." no just you." That's what's going to happen. We won't kill everyone. Just you.

  • Republican college students? Don't make me laugh

  • There are going to be less young voters voting in this upcoming election. Yes, Obama did fail!

  • the whole point of this ad was to make fun of young voters who got duped because of obama's swagger. i hate to break it to you folks but i saw kids going around the apartment complex near campus openly smoking the night obama won. just shows you that many young people can be easily promised anything, e.i. drugs and money. and they will fall for it.

  • "What did change did these Republicans theoretically want, MORE watered down healthcare?, MORE watered down financial reform?"

    I think its pretty obvious that is EXACTLY what they wanted.

  • Apparently Republicans have the same cynical view of teenagers that I do. We both see them as superficial, greedy, selfish morons who care more about Ashton Kutcher than... you know, things that matter.

    I'm happy to say that this is one of the ONLY views I share with the right, but still. Kinda unsettling.

  • So .... what I saw in that ad was a bunch of closet Nazi's. Blonds, and skin heads, a couple of cute girls who prolly don't fit in, so they just don't like anyone, and a few guys who are too chubby to be popular so the same thing with them.

    Young Republicans my ass.....lol

  • they just seem like retarded wannabes who wanted to be rebels and join a cause they probably have little knowledge in.....seriously it felt like any normal "I am a rebel plus I know all cause my professor told me so haha" It just feels too stupid and jersey shoreish.... but i guess all attack ads are

  • apparently only Valley Girls voted for Obama?

  • So these people wanted change, didn't get it, and want to get even more of the old bullshit? These are some dumbass college students.

    Take health care, for example. The way it was before (and is until 2014 I believe) is that only a few of us were paying for it while others could use it when they needed to and we'd all pick up that cost as well. It's like having a kegger - is it cheaper for you to pay for everyone to drink or for you to charge everyone if they want to drink?

  • The problem with Obama is: when one is all talk and class but doesn't deliver, his strengths start to be viewed as liabilities.

    And it's not his own fault.

    The economic crisis goes so deep that I think there's simply no way to solve it.

    Solution? Brace yourselves for what's next.

  • white ppl ftw

  • Their depiction of young voters is actually quite accurate.

  • The Republican Party: Same Ideas since 1861

  • Nice haircut Cenk!

  • My favorite part was when the one dude said he felt a chill run down his leg.. wtf lol

  • Regardless of the message (which was stupid), that video was very poorly composed.

  • this ad is the same as the latino dont vote ad (only they didnt go as far)

    the ad is targeted at young progressives not young republicans

    Thats why its so offensive, they cant help but knock us

  • ok the girls in the video were hot so i agree with what they say. i'm a teen.

  • On the side of this video there is an ad for Sarah Pac *slowly facepalms*

    Also I don't think I have ever met anybody in my entire life who was excited that somebody else met Ashton Kutcher. I think this was marketed towards people who went to go see Vampires Suck, who are also fans of Sean Hannity. What a small demographic.

  • @Clagnaught On my laptop...there's an ad for Christine O' Donnel on the side of this video.... D: Help!

  • "Young Republicans" = "Hitler Youth"

  • @D119heavy Come on, don't conflate the two. The Hitler Youth wasn't half as bad.

  • A commercial that looks like disenchanted young democrats, what a surprice?

    That ad is the "do not go vote" version directed to Latinos but for young people.

    The is all about vote suppression and vote intimidation.

    Can Republican be more despicable, The is not limit to the level of Racism, and Hatred of this people.

  • lol, love cenk's impersonation on teenagers....love it.

  • All those people in that ad were retards, but they had a point

  • Hiring a less European American looking actor would have been a little more effective. They're saying he didn't bring change (and I agree) and then they bitch about the slight changes he did bring, negative and positive, depending how you ask. The ad is pretty much an insult to young people too..

  • Eh, if their parents taxes go up they won't get as much spending money in college. ...And they might not be able to pay to live in their sorority house.

  • if you think obama can change everything overnight then you must be "god" or someone greater

  • @TheLowEndTheory if you think obama cant change nothing in 2 years you are diluted

  • @arga400 decades worth of debt and you really think the u.s can go back to normal in 2 years? you must be a fairy. if you are, then please help obama!

  • @TheLowEndTheory you obama lovers disgust me, putting words on my mouth cuz you cant counter my real argument, obama has done NOTHING at all zip none zero nada, in 2 years i do expect SOME fucking progress which wasnt deliver the HC bill was worst than before and the financial reform just set us up for another crash, he didnt even deliver on repealing dont ask dont tell a court did and then he oppose the fucking ruling he is a sell out and a joke a republican in disguise indeed a fake massaiah

  • @arga400 real argument? i dont even vote or support anyone. im making a point while you're assuming and talking out of your ass. even if obama can do makes "progress" in 2 years that doesnt mean were out of the hole. the worst part you're mentioning stuff that is pushed to the side and nobody really care about you dont even have a point to prove. it seems that you are missing something.

  • @TheLowEndTheory atleast im not missing a brain and common sense, if you think noone cares about financial reform anymore youre obviously retarded or rich, and if you think that obama did ANYTHING about it you are deluded instead

  • @arga400 its clearly obvious that you dont know anything how things work. you are confused or on something, i dont know. its your word against mines but you're clearly missing the point.

  • Democrats haven't brought change either. If we want change, why don't we bring in a 3rd party.

  • @LadySeraph let me quote you Jesse Ventura

    the 3rd party have to corrupt itself to even be there,

    the problem is not republican democrats,

    is the money and the corporations buying politicians.

    If there is republicans fighting for real republican values i respect that,

    but they dont, they fight for corporations all the time.

  • @izaccy Democrats are the same way though. They don't fight for the people or even for democratic values, they fight for bankers and corporations.

  • You can definitely find Republicans in college. They're really outspoken on my campus and most of them are in fraternities and sororities and come from extremely over priveleged families where they never had to work for anything.

    I'm not saying that's all Young Republicans, but it's a lot of them.

  • uh, i think in this instance i'm pretty sure 'patients is a virtue' applies considering that you're NOT going to get the instant gratification of everything he promised over night or even in two years. the bureaucracy in this country is an overwhelming, and slow process. quit your bitching, kids.

  • Those look like typical Ohio state students.

    GO BLUE!

    I'm just kidding, but this is pretty ridiculous. If you want our votes, maybe you should start by respecting us a little more.

  • Why this ad is even running? Is it 2012 already?

  • if those are normal american teenagers, then america is FUCKED when our generation inherits the world! (i'm 17 to clarify).

  • Comment removed

  • "He wanted to be my doctor, my banker"?

    What are they teaching in college these days?

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth

    They probably went to Ohio State

    GO BLUE!

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth obama is so talented...

    p. i've just realised that the spelling thing for youtube doesn't recognise his name!

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth Nothing about government or policy

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth Can't you see it man? These students are from Glen Beck Univresity.

  • There is alot of white people in that ad.......

  • Bet you 10 bucks that young Republicans don't even notice the rediculous "wanting change theme" in the advertisement. Ignorance is bliss.

    But hey, gotta give them credit for not comparing Obama with the devil, hitler, manbearpig or whatever they can think of. At least they used good arguments this time, it's just **so sad** that they have to COPY the democratic side's arguments to finally make sense on their part.

    It just proves that Republicans don't have any valid arguments themselves.

  • @Phyrexious

    Republicans never had valid arguments. That's why they sound like jackasses every time they speak on TV.

  • @Phyrexious

    i'd actually love an ad that compares obama to manbearpig

  • @mambuduomally I'm pretty sure you could get Al Gore to do it. He's pretty cool about making fun of himself. He does his own voice on Futurama a lot.

  • Wow. That's a great way to attract young voters. "Our parents warned us" and "We met on facebook" and "Wow, hanging out with Ashton Kutcher" The implication that young voters are completely and utterly stupid is gross. I despised the subtle message of "Oh, I should have listened to my parents" and that whole attitude of the young voting irresponsibly.

  • @sunsetseast especially considering plenty of young voters in 2008 were not simply being couch-voters. They were active more than in a long time to understand the issues and march on those issues, canvas on them. Sure, many college students are stupid, but its insulting that they insinuate most students that took the time to vote are as dumb and shallow as the ad proposes they are, or maybe its just Obama voters they are accusing of this, which is biased obviously but also a little pathetic.

  • Those were not young Republicans....those were young democrats that have the wool taken off their eyes.

  • 0:28 .. "god damn it I'm gonna cut the wires to that effin' noisebox"

  • I don't care what you stand for, whether I agree with your views or not, but I have much more respect for people who follow through with what they say they will and Obama is not that. It doesn't matter whether I like Obama or not, but like many politicians his word isn't good. Just stick to what you said you will do and that's fine, whether I agree or disagree.

  • @soad19152003 And my problem is

    the core republicans actually are for corruption

    they say corporations can vote while they try to destroy civil unions.

    if we the people have to fight the corporations, the only way we gonna do that is by standing together and creating our unions to fight for our belief.

  • Alright, fun for everyone.

  • Heh, I wrote a letter to the editor addressing the college republicans bringing in an "expert" on climate change. An expert who was a lawyer with zero hours of scientific credentials, research, ect. What does he do? Yell, kick and scream about Al Gore. Hilarious.

  • all the young republicans i know look nothing like this, they look like timothy mcveigh and sideshow james o'keefe

  • So basically the Republicans think that young people that are shallow and conceited and uninformed and have the attention span of a goldfish, and they made an ad about it.

  • 0:32 That Face! Bahahahaha!!

    "Oh for fucks sake"

  • ima not gunna lie, its hard to bring change, well everyone is like I WANT CHANGE, when he tries to do it, I DONT WANT DIFFRENENT HEALTHCARE, or no change. hes probably thinking what the hell, what do you want AMERICA!!!!!!!

  • @Deathnotepuppetgod we want weed to be legal

  • @csal1d yes i know

  • Ironic thing is that college students are smarter than the republican base of truckers.

  • i agree that republicans are being hypocrites in this video, but in the end does it really matter what party made the video? it still had some truth in it. we didnt get any of the change we asked for.

  • So the white kids in this ad are upset about a black guy telling them what to do, being their doctor, their banker, being a "control freak", not giving them a job....

  • Blonde chicks should limit their camera time and stick to porn films.

  • @GoDiglet but in that case, they should extend their camera time but ONLY for porn films...

    :)

  • The Young Republicans attacked an Obama Ad?

    Well, imagine that.

    Guess what.

    I heard that the Democrats, (sorry....."Progressives"),

    attacked a Republican ad.

    So,

    the news is.........................?

  • @bobbytiger ya, I guess the news is "welcome to big boy world bobby", this is what happens in politics, get used to it. (sorry, conservative)

  • Change is for the long course, Reputards are for the short term or none at all. simply put it Reputards are just in it for themselves again, and again and again till the Screw this nation into chaos and shame. PERIOD!!

  • In Austria we had exactly the same: The socialists promised change, but had to make a coalition with the conservatives, who blocked everything...and then blamed the socialists for not making any changes possible because they were weak leaders and so on.

    The result:

    The socialsits lost many votes, the conservatives got crushed and a third party, the nationalists doubled (!) their votes.

    The US is a 2 party system, but the idea of blocking everything will not work for the Republicans either.

  • Anna's response is as foolish as the people portrayed on the video. Because she thought they were young Democrats she agreed with them? They are OBVIOUS caricatures of young democrats. It's consistent with how Republicans portrayed Obama supporters as "Obama-ites" before the election.

  • They are retards. They are what? 18-20? Theya re acting like ten year olds.

  • that commercial reminded me of

    I WANT PIZZA P I Z Z A

    no seriously it was that dumb

  • the change the republicans wanted was to filabuster more they feel like they didnt get to do that enough and ha bisky upload

  • @kazooga1234 exactly. They say, Where is change!?! and it was republicans that kept actual change from happening!

  • In German it is called "beton strategy". You do everything so that the other party fails (spreading fear and lies about changes) and then you blame the other party for not realizing the changes.

  • @Max10192 thats what makes the ad ironic and stupid

  • Cenk is seriously into Jersey Shore haha

  • HI-LAR-I-OUS!!! That was classic, "I'm done, I'm done... like Sammy and Ronnie on Jersey Shore"! HAHAHA

  • The ad is embarrassing.
