[MarvelReviews117]

[MarvelReviews117]

glenn beck is an idiot! lol

[MarvelReviews117]

This really made my day you are AWESOME keep up the good work.

[thissentenceisfalse1]

I love this guy's work, both his columns, videos and book.

[shittyfagg]

hahahaha glenn beck is a god damn moron.

[gladstonew]

@shittyfagg haha? Don't tell me there are now 2 epis that make you laugh?

[shittyfagg]

@gladstonew In deed. I'm gladstone you noticed. And if that's not the worst pun you've heard today then, well, i'm sorry.

[AHarmlessBlackMan]

"of the united states america" am i the only one who heard that?

[MrThumpasorous]

its not "rufanol" its rufilin.....stupid

[gladstonew]

@MrThumpasorous drugs have more than one name, including the one I referenced. But thanks for the "stupid".

[MrThumpasorous]

@gladstonew wow i didnt think you would respond, i love your stuff ive watched all of you videos...all of them... but Rufilin is the name of the form of the drug that is used for date. In addition it was probably mean to call you stupid, especially because i enjoy you, but my sickness is making me a rude prick.

thanks,

Mr.Thump

P.S. Keep up the good work.

[lowtide3]

i don't think its racist but it is obviously a tax on a service that one race uses

[herodynamic]

The lights in the bar look exactly like candy corn.

CANNOT BE UNSEEN

[gladstonew]

@DDwerb No. They are hiding behind the possibility of sarcasm while spreading stupidity to those not sophisticated enough to understand. Plausible deniability.

[ELREndLondonRule]

If Obama puts a tax on Mayonaise then he's racist. We know black people don't eat mayo.

He's innocent until proven otherwise, though.

[TheCaliCapitalist]

@ELREndLondonRule

Mayonaise already have a tax on it.

[ELREndLondonRule]

@TheCaliCapitalist Man, he works fast.

We're all fucked.

[commissarusa]

this tax is racist against orange Americans and disparages their proud contribution to American history, particularly in the New Jersey area. ORANGE POWER!

[gladstonew]

elipses followed by CAPS followed by typos? Man. Point made. I'm convinced. Actually the only problem with this epi, is that its not that funny. One of my worst.

[Spunky320]

@gladstonew Umm Noo!! This episode was so funny that I laughed out loud at alott of parts! Dude, and when you do that "excuse me?", it's soo cool and funny! It's pretty hot.

[jr14103]

Obama has been linked to racisim since the begining..... FACT! So has his wife. All you are is an arrogant supporter og his.

[Basskay]

@jr14103 Accusations of racism? Easier to take seriously from people who can actually spell "racism".

As far as it being a "FACT!", facts require evidence, of which you have graciously provided....oh wait, you decided to provide none.

[DJStry]

Tanning Salons = LUXURY.....EVERYTHING Luxury based should be taxed regardless :/...

[Metatronflaren]

Who uses tanning? Douchebags! This is racist against douchebags!

[UberMan5000]

@Metatronflaren Doucheism?

[dot0rai]

nice zinger

[IncredibleStan]

Obama didn't create the tan tax....harry reid who is white created it

[psycofloyd]

Wow your stupid. Stop embarrassing your race.

[colemw1]

Go get em, gladstone, my dad died of melanoma and i wont take those pathetic pieces of shit making fun of it.

[ImOnProbation11]

white people paying for minorities health care makes sence.

[Helltamirre]

Omg. Seriously? Tanning salons. After 1st of July. You can get a tan at Alaska by July. Anyone in Northern hemisphere who goes to tanning salon after 1st of July deserves... I can't even imagine what. Srsly, people, help me out here!

[ThennyDlux]

obama's tax on white folks that's what I am going to say all day (I am at work right now at a tanning salon)

[ThennyDlux]

i work at a tanning salon a regular bed was $7.00 now it's $7.70 because it's the popular belief that tanning gives you cancer, It doesn't. If you are allowed to tan to long by a bad employee you can get a sun burn, this is not cancer but if it's a bad enough sun burn indoor or outdoor it can make small breaks in the DNA and that broken DNA has to survive and have a carcinogen introduced into like if you smoke whatever and that DNA MAY have a chance of developing cancer.

[805Ram]

@ThennyDlux its just 70 cents wtf are crackers that broke

[DONGOE]

This also known The " Whitey Tax " or " Cracker Tax "

[AvengerXP]

Not your best, but keep going captain

[MrDrGrotesque]

What did he say when the zinger thing went off? I can't hear him clearly

[FluffyLizards]

I'm white and I don't tan, I'm a gingernaut.

[quisqueyatv]

duh tanning is harmful!

[nocturnezero]

I'm still curious why they think black people don't use tanning salons. All the black people I know like to tan (outside, admittedly, but the point stands).

[elZonke]

haahha this guy is an idiot, you know Doc Thompson is being sarcastic here. Wow

[nocturnezero]

@elZonke No, he's not.

[elZonke]

@nocturnezero ummmm yes it is, im sorry, but if you cant detect the sarcasm in his voice, i feel pretty sad for you. There are articles and discussions on doc thompsons session. Its a joke. look it up.

[nocturnezero]

@elZonke There is no sarcasm in his voice. All the articles I could find "doc thompson tanning" seemed to understand that he wasn't being sarcastic. I'm sorry, but if you detect sarcasm where it isn't, I feel pretty sad for you.

[elZonke]

@nocturnezero Do you ever listen to talk radio like Michael Medved or John and Ken? They satirize various events all the time. Why? because its radio, not T.V., and it keeps things exciting and funny. Thompson satirized this as well, because it was funny, and liberals like you fell for it. Stop getting butt hurt and tender over topics regarding racism.

[nocturnezero]

@elZonke Bullshit.

[caffeinatedburd]

@elZonke right, but the thing about satire, is that, this isn't it,well mabye the red eye guy, but i think he's just high, but anyway i can tell your one of those right wing nuts, because you use liberal as a slur, even though you don't know what it means, also, what are they satiing, and joking about, becaus its not really that funny, even if it is, glen beck should stick to being fucking insane. its what he's good at

[elZonke]

@caffeinatedburd no im not a right wing nut, I didnt use liberal as a slur because there are many decent and valid liberals as there are on both sides of the political spectrum. Yes, you are correct on Glenn Beck. He has some points but the fact that he cries ruins his validity completely. I listen to talk radio a lot, and to my ear Doc Thompson's comments easily qualify as satirical. The others do not, youre right, but do you think Thompson is serious when he says the things he says arent real?

[technicallyabsurd]

Haha, 2:37 had me lol-ing.

[grievingsun]

OMG that's funny shit. I demand to see more of neo conservative rodeo clown.

[Vorhias]

Taxes on tanning booths is not racist, you myopic, conservative 'tards. If THAT is the closest thing you consider racism then it's no wonder why much of the world hates Americans.

[Redrazor91]

I always thought of tanning as luxury, not a necessity, so why not tax it more. great video

[quaffer22]

@Redrazor91

Eating at McDonald's is a luxurury.

So is driving.

So is having electricity in your home.

Is your point that anything deemed a luxury, should be taxable?

In which case; EVERYTHING is taxable.

You might as well support a tax on EVERYTHING containing sugar.

Tax spices too. Especially salt.

It's getting out of control. WAKE UP !!

[plastcbrane]

@quaffer22 Uh, everything is taxed. What are you talking about?

[jr14103]

@quaffer22 AMEN!!!!! Well said!

[peachykeenlimabeen]

@Redrazor91 Because people who can afford luxury goods, when faced with a tax on that good, move to buy a different type of luxury good.

[TheAfroZombie]

great vid as usual gladstone.
