  • @KittenLovens420 Yeah and many hard working people are paying for her with our tax dollars! Do you think we're happy about it?

  • @556deltawolf People should help other people, I'm not saying obama care is justice, but you'll really need to change your views if you feel the need to post such an appalling comment.

  • my friend is pregnant and she has obama care and she if very happy about it

  • Comment removed

  • People who like to bitch about how Obama isn't doing what he promised seem to either have forgotten or just never knew that he isn't the sole decision maker. He has to deal with his cabinet, as well as the congress. And the house of Representatives has a majority of Republicans who almost always go against him because he is a Democrat. It's like trying to run a household when your significant other is constantly undermining your authority and is unwilling to work with you on anything.

  • @MrDasturdly absolutely true. These facts are forgotten too often.

  • @556deltawolf since then, so have I

  • i think it's funny how everyone who bitches about this video can't even spell correctly.. literally found no exception in the comments so far.. goes to show how right this parody is man..

  • @rockstorm96 That's why I became a libertarian!

  • You should see about making some of these songs available for iPod and mp3

  • EASY MONEY ONLINE

    PRIMEMONEY.US

  • lol

  • That crazy lady IS a Socialist!

  • Dont lose your head! Obama won't replace it!

  • Kind of creepy

  • clearly concieved by some one with frustrtion thats misdireted and 8 years too late.

  • Funny as %$#@ lol

  • Anything with this type of message is good in my book. Critics go back to yelpin

  • Excellent! I couldn't have done or said better myself.

  • Sophomoric. Is the target audience Billy Ray Cirus?

  • Democrat, republican, to me it all ends the same. Nothing gets accomplished and they blame it on the other party

  • @hillbillygenius72 he cant play it exactly as they will get done for copyright.. notice the drums have an extra high-hat in them..

  • Politics suck!

  • Lol I love this:D

  • Shared to Facebook.

  • haha this video doesnt deserve all the hate its getting, the guitarist may not be as good as knopfler, but c'mon, not many people are. its just a cover, i enjoyed it

  • Obama’s approval ratings are so low now, Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States 

  • U SUCK!

  • You americans are so afraid of socialism, it's no wonder you are going down one by one. You are not a community anymore. It seems americanism is all about taking care of me, myself and I. I really hope for you, that you someday will benefit from the healthcare that we have had for centuries. And Cuba for that matter also. But you are so selfish and think that capitalism can solve even the matters that everyone shares. Uhh - this is gonna make you suffer and your children too.

  • this sucks

  • The song's writer, Mark Knopfler, has long maintained that he was writing from the perspective of a "bonehead" whom he observed in a hardware store watching MTV, reacting with disgust to the fledgling network's flamboyant rock stars.

  • is this for or against free healthcare, cos i honestly can't be bothered finding out myself.

  • It would be hilarious, if it weren't all true.

  • well done!

  • wheres the bass?

  • AMAZING.

  • I've heard people from the UK say their system works pretty well. Canada too.

  • @ZillaRocks Yep

  • Great Video.!!!!

    What animation programs were used ?

  • It's sad that the US dollar is being print for nothing.

  • EXCELLENT !

  • wtf?

  • this was a lot funnier than I thought it would be. Nice work!

  • good one!

  • Graphics on this are 1000x better than 1985's graphics

    and Weird al's 1989 graphics

  • The song "Money for Nothing" is one of my favorites, and it disappoints me that it's being used for a political statement. Regardless, I can't hate this just because of my beliefs, and it is superbly animated, so a thumbs up for you.

  • @MrMorganfarts WHHHHAAAAA! Whiny liberals. 

  • @theunbubba sorry! I just dont like it when people play my favorite song badly

  • I don't understand what this is

  • @MrMorganfarts Yeah,this from "MrMorganfarts". Must be a REAL authority. Sit down, boy. It's a spoof, dork.

  • @ConanTheRepublican haha ya i own a lot, like, my copy of black ops and stuff! i have macho authority

  • Comment removed

  • I love it!!!\

    

  • What the!

    

  • Do I get a free Huckleberry look-alike blue dog if I sign up for this?

  • What does reality Tv and Facebook have to do with American Politics?

  • Good shading bro ;)

  • this video should have way more views (spread the word)

  • Holy sh**! I freaking love it. My favorite guitar riff and my very thoughts in a song. Damn it's priceless.

  • I'm dumber for having watched this corporstist puppet babble. Keep taking your talking points from the koch bros, teashits. I'm sure the Republicans have your back against all those dirty socialist Democrats. Oh wait, they're all the same people and not even close to socialists.

  • regardless of whether or not the point in the song is good, the guitarist is shit, just awful

  • Don't forget the part were it's rammed down our throats!

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent. We are SO ON to the Lefty-poos. Read Jonah Goldberg's _Liberal Fascism_ to get their history of population control and admiration of Soviet Russia.

  • @greengringo2003

    If you think Fascism is a Leftist movement, you're completely ignorant of both history and political science.

    I mean not just a little in the dark, but Six Flags Over Fucking Stoopid.

    By the time you wake up and realize how you've been played, it'll be too late. And there's NOBODY but you to blame. :-)

  • @bperci Nazi stood for nationalist-socialist, it was from the left that most of the followers came, but was also govt control overkill, and functionally no differnt from Leninist-Stalinist USSR. Even down to finding ways to efficiently rid oneself of undesirable elements, which is probably in the wings at this point. Although, we are on a path closer to Argentina than Germany or the USSR at this point.

  • @larryc90 As I said above: Six Flags Over Fucking Stoopid. No matter what the Nazis marketed themselves as they were a far-right political movement. They co-opted the symbolism, the jargon the slogans of the populists of the time, much as the TeaTards have done today. Both of these extreme-right groups are controlled and bankrolled by Big Business and their lackeys in government. Both have the same goal: Fascism. The Nazis slaughtered the German left, including the Communists. You're wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • @bperci Fascism is what anti-capitalist types want, the government subsumes the corporate sector, forcing it into a central planning structure, much like the "green" economy Obama is forcing now. Enough of this, though, as the fact that you resort to vulgarities and intimidation to sway the argument, rather than a clear understanding of the facts, bares me. Good life to you.

  • @larryc90 SFOFS Part 2, I see.

    Once again Lar, you don't have the slightest idea of what your babbling about. Shut off Rush Limpballs or Hannitard or whatever source is spoon-feeding you this nonsense and pick up a fucking book once in a while, mmm--kay?

    Fascism is the union of government with corporate wealth and power coupled with a strong form of nationalism. See Mussolini's Italy or Franco's Spain. The very word itself derives from the Latin "fascis" meaning "bundle".

  • @bperci books are where I get the info, such as Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. True the Nazis killed the Comms when they went for the USSR after taking power, but early the SD and communists found common cause in overthrowing the free market system of Weimar and exerting central control over all trade and production. and Facis is a Latin word meaning bundle, true, and represented the collected markers of the provinces of Imperial Rome, gathered under a central overarching single entity.

  • @greengringo2003 Ya... because us liberals TOTALLY loved the USSR! /sarcasm

    Even the socialists hated it because it misrepresented the socialist movement so badly. And if you think the libs are the ones in power, you're mistaken. It's all the Corporatists. Republican, Democrat, they are both run by the same people. They just provide the illusion that you have a choice.

  • Rightism is toxic.

  • amazing

  • Wow...a well-made rendition, but too bad it's coupled with far-right wingnut bullshit.

    Never doubt the capacity for the rubes to vote against their own interests when the Right's slack-jawed puppeteers (like that ignorant douche Boortz) are pulling their strings.

    They've handed this country over to the wealthy elite and proudly defend doing it like the obedient little serfs they are.

    Pathetic tools. They're gonna richly deserve every bit of what they're going to get.

  • @bperci Sieg Heil, Obooboo. Stick your tongue deeper up his ass.

  • @greengringo2003

    No thanks, I'll leave that sort of "activity" to you Righties. I'm sure Rushie-poo, Ted Haggard or Larry "Widestance" Craig can show you how correctly. The Right is awash to the gunwales in self-loathing closet-cases like Limbaugh & Co.

  • che insulto per i dire straits

  • @MrGabba95 Che esta muerto.

  • @greengringo2003 in italiano !

  • Americans are afraid of Socialism, but they give Corporatism an easy pass.

    Totally fucked up.

  • @SirCliveCalculator agreed.

  • @SirCliveCalculator Crony capitalism is the same thing. Witness Goldman Sachs and Government (Obooboo) Motors.

  • @greengringo2003 yes, its socialism for the rich. Why do idiots vote for the GOP? people should fucking think about for a minute!

  • i like it and it looks like you hit the nail on the head as far as gov. go's good job and people saying this talking bull shit is stuped all you have to do is watch the tv good jod on video

  • мотив..., но плагиат, хотя бы умеют делать-хоть что то....-цэнзор...молчи уж жить по жизни что ли.

  • cagaste un clasico

  • Ma questo he un insulto a money for nothing togliete sto video

  • Cool video =)

  • @dave97202 you forgot CNN (Communist News Network)

  • You crazy Americans... You realize that there a lot of socialized things already in your country right? Such as the post office, and Libraries. Another thing I don't get is that when ever you hear the word socialist, you always jump to the word communist. You really should all stop using outdated terminology. The cold war is over. It ended like 20 years ago.

    I laugh at all Americans, left and right. You just don't get it. work together for a solution, or kill yourselves. Easy way out.

  • FANY HAHAAHA KAKAKAAKKAA

  • @dave97202

    Over here we call it the Crying Bitching & Complaining network :)

  • sorry, Irvantium was supposed to be signed in as aimeelovescats, and replying to EvilTediz597. sorry for the mix up.

  • ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL US!!! THEY ARE THE TERRORISTS WHO HATE AMERICA!!! YOU are the one who has no IDEA what he's taking about. PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACTS!!! They ARE COMMUNISTS by the way.

  • @Aimeelovescats I am sorry to have offended you, but I intended my message to be non-political, I apologize if you saw it otherwise. What I was trying to do was end this silly bickering and start getting to work helping make this planet a better place to live. Commenting on YouTube videos won't change anything, going out and giving a beggar a job or a homeless person a place to sleep does

  • @Zorf96 sorry if i offended you, I was just a little upset be some of the comments (not yours so much)

  • I should have read the Constitution I should have learned some History Look at that Congress...they just stick it to America Man, we get taxed some more? And she's up there, what's that screeching noises? Shred the Constition like a crazed banshee.... Aw this ain't workin' but that's the way they do it.... Get your money for nothin' spread your wealth from me.... We've gotta watch American Idol... Wait for Amazon deliveries... We've gotta check our Facebook status.. We've gotta watch reality TV
  • Love it! Doesn't Obama sound so Rude and Arrogant (I couldn't think of the right word) when he says " I'v been a little amused with all the rallies going on. You'd think they'd be THANKING me!" 2:20

  • Silly Republican, Healthcare IS spreading the wealth to you.

    You prefer your politicians pocket your money?

  • @EvilTediz597 The Liberal politicians already do!!

  • @Aimeelovescats

    Taking a look at what you've just been posting in the comments, I've deduced that you really have no idea what you are talking about.

    1. There's nothing wrong with Muslims.

    2. Socialism is probably the best deal you're going to get if you're afraid politicians are pocketing your tax dollars.

    3. Communists? In The States? You're a real joker. Capitalism IS run like a business. Modern 'Communists' are not Communist at all. True Communism has never been practised.

  • Obama looks so cool.

  • this is disturbing

  • @alcosher

    This is reality......

  • Oh how far 3D animations has come along in 25 years! 

  • A Video well said

  • Very good parody

  • the canadian brodcast standards council said Q104 which is a canadian radio station is not aloud to play this song because the say its unfit because it uses the word faggot in it three times.

  • In b4 repeal of Obamacare cost more than Obamacare.

  • I wonder how long it takes to make one of these videos or how much money it costs to make them? Wouldn't it be better if that time and money was used to help those who don't have a bed to sleep in? These political battles are pointless because the goal is the same for all parties, helping people.

  • @Zorf96 No, not really.Obama and a lot of social left-wing nuts only care about money for THEM, and destroying America. most people think obama is a Moslem, who hates the American way. They're right. These Liberals are communists, and we all know how communist ideas haven't worked, like spreading the wealth, and government run things like business. Oh, and it probably didn't cost that much, but why aren't you asking Obama to spend the trillion dollars on things like that instead of wasting it!!!

  • I have no idea whether this is supposed to make fun of Obama, republicans (in the original it was the narrator that was being ridiculed after all) or both.

  • What's wrong with being socialist? Or a national healthcare system? In the UK we have the Nhs & we spend half as much as the usa of GDP on healthcare and yet we live on average two years longer. To coin your american pharse - 'go figure'. Don't believe the right. Healthcare free at the point of delivery based upon medical need not ability to pay. Why are Americas so against that? 65million Britons LOVE the Nhs & any government that tried to take away our national health service would face a rev

  • @andyrogers1986 problem is, a lot of them think that anything remotely left-leaning is full-blown Marxist-Leninism (these same people also think that all communism = Marxist-Leninism :/). We love it here in Canada as well. Some people just aren't ready for change ...

  • @RockBassist2112 Some change we don't need! And yes, some people overreact, but these people really ARE Communist!

    p.s you're right, the are different.

  • @Aimeelovescats and there you go, someone who is overreacting; learn your political ideologies, your Democrats are far from being Communists, they're only slightly left-leaning (that does not make them full-blown Communists. Nor does it make them Communists at all!).

  • @RockBassist2112 They are american communists, and they are REALLY left-wing. Not slightly. I didn't react at all for the first year, because I was seeing if the were only in a phase.

  • @Aimeelovescats if you guys are Communists, then we're Anarchists ... and that's definitely not the case! How about keeping an open mind to the slight bit of social help your government is giving you. Tell me, what is it that you don't like about the whole social reform?

  • @RockBassist2112 by "you guys," I meant "your government," sorry.

  • @RockBassist2112 *sigh* I'm not even going to explain again. It's ticking me off too much. I'll regret it. Oh, and If I offended you, sorry. I argue too much.

  • @Aimeelovescats You didn't explain anything in the first place -.-. And no, you didn't offend me, I just find that a lot of you don't get the whole idea of the communist ideology and that you guys think that anything in that spectrum, from extreme left to centre-left, is communist. And don't worry about the arguing thing, I like it, as long as both parties are open-minded, we can both learn quite a bit about the other's point of view.

  • @RockBassist2112 I did explain a little, just maybe not clearly. What I have observed Is that, they are socialist, which is like what the communists were. You know, big government, government run things like health care.OK, they may not be the most Left-wing nuts there can be. But, based on how they pretty much don't agree with anything conservatives say, I view them as left-wing nuts. Maybe I am getting the communist thing wrong, but based on my observations, that is my conclusion.

  • @andyrogers1986 Your right! your healthcare is good! but Obama care would be WAY different. It wouldn't work like yours. it wouldn't work at all!

  • ROFLMAO. This video is priceless. It oughta be on the top retarded videos list right along with the Crazy Sprinkler Lady and pretty much anything on Faux News.

    Cute animation though ;)

  • @aliencubby Sprinkler lady always cracks me up!!  "What are they putting into the water??"

  • ORIGINAL music VIDEO

    /watch?v=lca5H8RG2ok

  • Typical republican propaganda. Waste a ton of money to develop the animation only to say nothing but crap.

  • @MrBootsCat Ha! It's NOT crap! Oboma is doing things that will cost more than we have!!! We're already in like a trillion dollars of debt!!

  • @dave97202 Thank goodness for Discovery 

  • is there any links to the real music video for money for nothing

  • @Oilers97MessierOrr

    watch?v=lca5H8RG2ok

  • @ThatOneGuyUKnow12 in the orignal video was soem wo0rds banned cause they said fagget?

  • @dave97202

    FOX (Fascist Oligarchical Xenophobic)

  • This is some antisocial american group song voting for one-way distibution of wealth from poor to rich and giving nothing back, or what?

  • This is funny considering how the original song mocked social conservatives.

  • @Sanny987

    WRONG, the original Money for Nothing talked about how 2 blue collar guys were discussing how rockstars and singers make millions while workers make a lot less lot even though their jobs are more important.

    Learn your facts before you go around talking bullshit.

  • @DamonDoggXxX the song was started being writing in AGD shop, when M. Knockoffler heard a shop assisten comments about MTV, and stars on MTV. He wrote down some of his words and used them in the song ;]

  • Comment removed

  • @DamonDoggXxX Guess it all comes down to what type of gpv't you prefer.

  • @DamonDoggXxX No. That is also wrong. In an interview, Mark Knopfler said he was in an electrical appliance store and he heard this guy who was giving his opinion of the people who were on MTV. He was actually PRAISING them for how they got their money so much easier than he did and that he wishes he had learned how to play the guitar or the drums instead.

  • 1 Complaint F%@K off!

  • Excellent piece of propaganda, aimed at those with limited education to keep paying their taxes for nothing but holidays for politicians. Now when someone comes in and wants to give them something, they protest.

    Hopefully America will wake up one day, and realise that what some guys wrote hundred's of years ago isn't wholly relevant. Not to mention the graffiti that are the amendment's. (if it was so special, why change it).

    PS, retards shouldn't be allowed guns. AKA Republicans

  • @asdfbig1 Isn't it great that the constitution has provisions in it that allows changes in it? By the way, it would seem to me like your alternative would be to be owned by the state and ruled by a elite class. Also, what is "wholly relevant" about failed ideas that are ALSO hundreds of years old. Socialism is simply feudalism warmed-over. If being a serf is your idea of living, then move to North Korea. Your disdain for our rule of law would suggest that you don't like it here, so move.

  • @asdfbig1 Imagine, this clown imagines that a set of laws that protect and defends individual freedoms and liberties are irrelevant to what would be an ideal way of life, and prefers the alternative--being subjects to heads of state and rulers. Who's the "retard" here?

  • @asdfbig1 also people who like hitler......

  • Right Wing Nutcases. Grow up and get a life.

  • @brettgerard100 LOL left wing nutcases. Grow up and get a life, you fringe left wing loon.

  • @brettgerard100 hahaha we do, its full of our own hard earned millions, you should get up here with us sometime =)

  • God, this Tea Party shit is everywhere. I google Money for Nothing and the last thing I expect is to find some conservative vitriol. But, lo and behold, I do!

  • Except it is full of overly-simplistic misinformation messages, and pretends to represent the very economic class that is being screwed by the same misinformation. If it was accurate, it would have been very clever.

  • So great :D

  • Hilarious parody.  I LOVE it!

  • Cool song :l

  • I've noticed that the opinion concerning a person's opinion of the redistribution of wealth depends on their location relative to the direction of the money's flow. I'm all for the redistribution of wealth when it's being redistributed into my pocketbook, not so much when it's going from mine to yours. Let's be glad that it makes for hilarious comedy regardless of your relative position. Who doesn't love to laugh? Do the right thing? Humbug. Nobody believes in that anymore, nobody at all.

  • Mmm, I didn't get much from my public edumacation. Shucks, the only reason I have a high school diploma is because they had 'social promotion' back in 1978. I kid you not, I fulfilled the credits required to gradjitate by hitchhiking to California from Virginia and writing a report about the experience. The schools administrators OK'd a train trip, but I preferred to spend my train fare on cannabis so I hitchhiked instead. When I got back I said oh well, I guess I've flunked out.

    (con't)

  • (con't)

    They said "oh no, hitchiking is much more interesting." I did everything in the world I could possibly imagine to avoid that diploma and they refused to let me refuse it.

    As ridiculous as the story above sounds it's is all true. I had a serious case of ODD when I was a teen. Don't be fooled if for some absurd reason you think I've somehow gotten hold of some kind of intelligence. It's an act. Indeed I am an idiot in drag.  BTW I loved the video. Hugh Morris approves! Party on dude!

  • this video is hilarious

  • how could you dont you relize that evrey other contry has public health care and you ritch people will be ritch even with taxis and you dont have the rite to speek for the working class

  • @lovelaj0149 the first amendment gives me the right to speak and I am the working class. If you want public healthcare please feel free to move to a country that has it. Sorry lovelaj but you may not take my rights. btw, i never got a job from a poor man. I wish there were more rich people giving jobs.

  • @supidg

    im not trying to take away your rites because it allowd me to say what i did to but im just saying that public health care works for every uropean contry + canida and many south american contrys. i whold move but i love this contry and i think that most of what we have is pritty good.

  • @supidg

    im just sayan that ritch people like on fox news dont have the rite to say what we cant aford because even my dad is having a lot of troble with his mony. Im not sayin im poor but im sertanly lower middle class which is what fox news is tryan to reach out to.

  • @lovelaj0149 How old are you? You can't even spell or use spell check, for goodness sake. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're just an example of how public education is failing America.

  • @alexblack94 just look it up on vevo. well, that's the live version. there is one original on youtube though. type in original and music video. it worked for me anyway...

  • This has a good point politics can suck it but dang dont ruin one of the best songs ever made
