TYT Hour - August 31st, 2010

[Brianjacob5050]

I want to say something so bad.

[XevanTemplar]

Common, Lego is still fun at age 80 no joking :)

[mrx0066600]

Harry Wilson sucks.

[tommysixgunner]

Young Liberal Duesh bags

[mengwise36]

@donroche

A book is just the opinion of a group of people. What has that got to do with fact?

[Blacksoljah]

With a blank face ..."I'm freaking AWESOME"

[KarateKidX]

a Cartel is a trade guild

[jamesuslovesu]

FUCK YOU TYT YOU GOT FACEBOOK FACEBOOK STUCK IN MY HEAD! GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!!!

btw i m jk

[yuukisama2001]

You know these officials need to resign. Folks should call in and tell them if they are gong to act asinine and immature instead of focusing on issues REAL issues instead of this BULLSHIT they need to resign. Because they are adding to the already provocateur BS that's already being spun and got folks acting like jackasses.

[BillOralRushRimjob]

TYT rap?

Oh god...

[evilblades]

@BillOralRushRimjob i wounder if i will get free publicity on the tyt if i make a sucky song and dedicate it to them :P

kissing ass gets you anywhere.

[BillOralRushRimjob]

@evilblades I just think it's cheesy. lol

[hamrite]

The cotton picking president of the United states! The guy who said it should be banned from the air, and concerning prostitution in switzerland, which is where I live, they (the government) are fair with prostitutes who have social coverage and unions to remain protected. 

[hamrite]

The cotton picking president of the United states! The guy who said it should be banned from the air,

[tsk209]

@mengwise36 u dont expect to get facts from news, or newspapers? doesnt sound like you read books much because those fall into different categories such as fiction. haha only dumb republicans dont like facts,they love being lied to. the way he acted is called emotion, and he's not a computer or machine thats why his audience and army listen to him because we can relate,. all people in america should be mad about taking our SSI.! Average american aka middle class americans should be mad.

[mengwise36]

@donroche

Could it be you don't like the fact? I sure was entertained and I don't even see Cenk as an entertainer.

[mengwise36]

@donroche

"Regardless of the facts"? Fact is the only thing that worth debating.

[TheRamenAvenger]

Ben's hilarious!

[mengwise36]

@donroche

His point, if you cared to listen, was social security was running a 2.5 Trillion surplus.

[nanomagnetic]

It's kind of cool hearing Anna/Cenk/Ben's vocabularies blending and overlapping. Anyone else catching that?

[TheRamenAvenger]

@nanomagnetic No man but I will light up a bowl and check it out again :)

[devourerofbabies]

9:50 hey Ben, what's your favourite part? Ooooh, you're not in it either.

[stereoarchitect]

im moving to Switzerland haha kidding. dirty. well... Switzerland chicks are hot and they have the best economy and their supposedly the "happiest country in the world" (tyt covered that poll awhile back) so maybe.

[16ReasonsWhy]

Ben was in rare form today--had me in stitches! I was in tears listening to the mushroom story. Keep up the great mix of entertainment, candor, and criticism that you seem to nail every time.

[stereoarchitect]

wtf is ben thinking he sounds racist. and not even funny racist

[stereoarchitect]

yes! young turks brought the ratings, fox has knock offs "the young guns" they wont get far. lifes good.

[MissNophi2U]

cenk needs to get to nyc more often. celebs are all over. out and about all the time. the difference is we don't give a sh!t here. just another person who might get in our way. unless they are embarrassing themselves for our entertainment, or giving away free stuff.

[likecrunchyness]

WES CLARK JR!

[stereoarchitect]

fuck f5 didnt work. they caught on. i hate youtubegoogle now. sellouts

[Wiiowner]

f5 didnt work...

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

ben is such an asshole i had to stop watching. i'm pretty sure he is racist, why is he always saying stupid shit?

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

ben is kind of a jerk i wish they had cenk uyger

[linkforever92]

i kinda would rather jr and ana

[pizzapie12345]

cenk looks awfully orange

[halcyon0830]

BEN IS THE MOST HATED USELESS SHALLOW NARCISSISTIC "HIP" "WITTY" FAKESTER TO EVER APPEAR ON TYT.

TYT IS LOSING VIEWERS BECAUSE OF HIM.

[CentristRevolution]

3:00 Cenk asking CNN for a job.... which would be great. Imagine, CNN doing journalism.

[halcyon0830]

I love when TYTTIES make something creative for TYT.

[halcyon0830]

WHEN

CAN

WE

PLEASE

GET

WESLEY

CLARK

JR

TO CO-HOST TYT WITH ANA KASPARIAN WHENEVER CENK IS AWAY ON MSNBC.

[lazyorc]

ben is frustrating to watch and his jokes are bad, I just watch Ana she so beautiful ;)

[007HubbaBubba]

I wanna see more of Ana! She is a Star in my book.

Let me Make it!

[BOORL]

YES

He. Is. Friggin. Awesome

[tristan9812]

Stfu crappy rap song.

[DimitriGoryenko]

love ben, he hits and misses and thats the only way you can get the hits. But sometimes he says some stupid stuff, got to take the good with the bad.

[youngbuck189]

Ana's face at 12:47

[SgtSprayin]

No different then saying fucking. Not a big deal.

[SnoeLaCone]

Cenk Uyger the recruiter

[Lipka001]

i want to see more pictures of prometheus! :)

[birddognick]

For fuck sake could someone please get that macfag out of the camera?

[NY1love]

@birddognick you were in one of the camera?

[crackerz99]

@birddognick ben is great dude, i dunno why u dont like him.

[sarapiork]

"cotton-pickin" is not derogatory at all.

[bukon90]

ben shut the fuck up.

[TooMuchToo0ften]

she's rockin the cleavage again! who hoo!

[PsychoSocialChange]

Ben rocks? Really? Fuck no! Ben sucks. This show is absolutely worthless without Cenk and you know it.

[sp3dddy]

@PsychoSocialChange

cenk makes the show what it is but its still good without him

[MagicofAramis]

Why not give Ana the host chair when Cenk is unavailable?

[david13gaspar]

They don't get that if you wear camouflage and theres someone hunting close to your picking area you might get shoot without anyone to know or even see you and you die. dont wear camos while picking shr00ms

[imlaughing2death]

Wow, Ben was actually tolerable in this episode. Plus a James Cagney reference? Good job.

[MsDimplecheeks]

Ben is a total ass... Leave sarcasm to the British we do it better and don't over kill it to the point where is gets annoying.

[ucdort]

where is the only turk in the show please?

[tatertotter808]

Why should Obama defend himself? is it really a big deal that 18% of Americans think Obama is Muslim? We have bigger problems in this country than whether our president is Muslim or not. -____-

[kazooga1234]

lofl to the lastish story my mom loved playing with children and wanted to have children just to play games with them thats y i was born was to entertain my mom it was when we got older she got annoyed and didnt want to be a mother anymore really

[mattm465]

ben is pretty sweet it will say

[joe133322]

whats wrong w/ you people?!?! Ben is so funny!!

[MsDimplecheeks]

@joe133322 err no hes not... Hes annoyingly sarcastic.

[MissNophi2U]

@joe133322 not everyone finds obnoxious amusing. i'm annoyed.

[devourerofbabies]

@joe133322 Stuttering and mumbling is funny?

[Gargantua606]

Yeah he's hilarious when mimicking Turkish language. I liked it even more than his blackface and yellowface routines. It comes to the level of when he was saying "Ching Chong" to imitate Chinese. That's pure comedy.

[WindyCityFly3r]

Am I the only one who gives Ben credit for being a dork on purpose? He's funny. In a smart trying to act dumb way

[evilblades]

@WindyCityFly3r

he is a attentionwhore with no manners. he does one social blunder after the other. like his all too numerus "racially insensitive" remarks that he tries to pass as jokes (like todays "black cottonpickers"). his jokes are usually uncomfortable at best and tend to put whoever he is co-hosting with off (note the strained laught at his jokes)

he is a horrible host. look for a vid with him and anna where he does not constantly cut her off to feed his need for attention.

am i wrong?

[WindyCityFly3r]

@evilblades I'm not gonna disagree. But I think you might be taking things too far. But I see what you mean.

[evilblades]

@WindyCityFly3r i have been watching tyt pretty much daily since they joined youtube years ago. and by now his voice grinds on my brain so bad i skip videos where he is the host.

i cant get over how he said calling blacks cottonpickers was ok. (cenk and anna's embarracement and the minutes they spent trying to minimize ben's blunder was awesome). he out-racisted the racist they were critizising. he even go on to make fun of mexicans afterwards.

i honestly dont know why he is still on th tyt.

[tatertotter808]

@evilblades Nope. Perfectly right. He's annoying. -____-

[evilblades]

@tatertotter808 hear hear! :P

[Gargantua606]

Oh pleeeeeeeeeease, not Ben again. He's an horrible host. Eskow and Seder yesterday were much much better, keep them.

[GigaBoost]

Why are people talking shit about Ben? I love him! He's hilarious all the time.

[mefilmmaking]

@GigaBoost Yes Ben's 'Turner Classics' show is hilarious.

[bemaniac2]

Ben = hilarious

[GigaBoost]

Why are people talking shit about Ben? I love him!

[mefilmmaking]

@GigaBoost You & you alone.

[eathenicus]

The rap song sounded so professional.

[mefilmmaking]

@eathenicus Ana's commentary... FAIL.

[ScampyKid]

Ben... stop trying to be funny. It makes me sad for you.

[mefilmmaking]

@ScampyKid He can't help it but be the awkwardly moopy jew.

He gives us a bad name.

[VenomySnicket]

The Young Turks should get an hour on MSNBC, if Cenk is gonna be on there constantly anyway.

[ThePhatIndian]

I think Ben is both intelligent and clever and he makes a great host. In fact, I think that Ben and Cenk make the best combo (for the politics hour).

Go Team Ben!

[mefilmmaking]

@ThePhatIndian You and gigaBoost alone. Ben is a bias prick w/ a failing tcm show.

[ThePhatIndian]

@mefilmmaking Biased against or for what? This isn't a news show, no one on the show is objective, it's a talk show. I don't care about whether he does or does not have failing shows, I'm a TYT fan.

[mefilmmaking]

@ThePhatIndian Well as a "TYT fan" you should know that they first (attempt to; sometimes its so stupid it's hard) objectively report a news story and then later share their comments w/o bias... hence "Am i merciful".lol

[ThePhatIndian]

@mefilmmaking You didn't answer my question (nor did you make much sense). What is Ben biased against or for? You called him biased, what exactly is the bias?

[mefilmmaking]

@ThePhatIndian OK, when he reports a story w/ his own opinion on the matter pecker-ed in, he doesn't give the audience nor his co-host the full story. He focuses more on his opinion and taste rather the truth or what's rational. He thinks all his are points rationalistic, thus forth Gospel. His dry-humor comedy is absurd/ "cornball-ish", focusing on the ironies of race, religion...mainly race. He's undeniably (at least a little bit) envious of Cenk's public progression and it's pitiful.

[ThePhatIndian]

@mefilmmaking Can you give us evidence of this happening? You can't make such outrageous claims and have no proof.

Also, you still haven't explained what Ben Mankiewicz is biased against or for. What is his bias? You keep saying he is biased, but so far no specifics. All that stuff you just explained makes him a bad host (if it were true, and in your opinion), but why is he biased and on what issue?

Also, please tell us why you think he is envious and provide some examples (video links, etc.)

[mefilmmaking]

@ThePhatIndian How hard is it for you to get it. He DISPLAYS his bias through his reporting... and i don't have to send you links to explain, the majority of the Ben comments will tell you enough. Your methods of persuasiveness is simply fan-boy dillusion... oblivious too blah blah blah ad hominem ad hominem.... over and out. Pointless dialogue.... Just as long as your part of the TYT.

[mefilmmaking]

@mefilmmaking *TYT Army.

[ThePhatIndian]

@mefilmmaking You make an assertion, and I ask for evidence. That's how it works. Do you even know what an ad hominem attack is? How the hell did I use any? Asking for evidence is an ad hominem attack? Haha

I'm simply asking you to tell me what he is biased against or for. Is he biased about EVERYTHING? What does that even mean? Having an opinion is not being biased, the show does not require the hosts to be 100% objective (they aren't journalists, they are talk show hosts).

[mefilmmaking]

@ThePhatIndian You have a problem w/ comprehension & knowing when there's no battle. I WAS joking about me going on writing ad hominem after ad hominem... hint hint delusional fan-boy oblivious to Ben's bias behavior towards people he likes and agrees w/ blah blah blah... I guess you get it or you don't. Light humor. Either way this a pointless discussion... and wildly unnecessary. Your a TYT fan, I'm a TYT fan. Let's call the whole thing off.

[TheUnitedStatists]

watch out for the young douches

[ThisPageStaysREAL]

Ok..this is the worst TYT hour ever.. its just half ass clips ive watched already. swen together...Ben is horrible after like..5 mins. He's all disinterested in anything unless its his own opinion. he just tries to rush ana through anything he's not interested in.

Co-Host FAIL. this hour was a letdown for me..Ben needs to lay off the blow..

[tatertotter808]

@ThisPageStaysREAL I meant to vote up D; I agree

[aerobique]

ben rocks

[mefilmmaking]

@aerobique ben rocks all happiness out the hour. what a waste... overrated.

[1389srbin]

Ben isn't that bad. I just don't like when Ana or Cenk aren't there and it's just Ben and some other guy.

[Dominick629]

Yes, get rid of Ben, and Anna, and Cenk. The only honest and normal people on this show are JR and the hispanic guy.

[mefilmmaking]

@Dominick629 kinda agree.....just keep Cenk.lol seriously

[mengwise36]

@donroche

Just how did his comment on social security show his ignorance?

[YuanMizzle]

Rapper was definitely better than anything I can do... but sounded like he was trying to mimic Jay Z.

[Shinius]

I can understand why people dislike Ben, but I think he's a good mix in TYT. Then again, I like dry sarcastic humor.

[arga400]

man so many ben haters he is my second favorite turk second only to cenk

[iamtheVitor]

Cenks celebrity story is probably the most boring/uninteresting 5 minutes in TYT history.

[carousel1130]

@donroche Cenk's gained his reputation for being "the fairest guy in the world''. He does give credit when credit is due, but there just isn't any to be found on the right. I've seen him both arguments countless times, but reason and facts will give anyone a ''liberal bias''.

[SchinTeth]

That mushroom story is hilarious

and BTW: Good job Ben, you´re funny

[Obstbaum1337]

the warlord discussion was kinda boring -.-

[leeroynaggins]

On the intern issue, more of the same. People who have money can make it. Of course.

[xtericx]

ben is an asshole. but can be funny

[tatertotter808]

@xtericx way to pick a side.

[asdfxcxv]

Kate Perry is obviously hot but holy shit her songs are nails on a chalkboard. It's not like she's a bad singer, but the songs are just incredibly grating.

[ChangoSun]

No more Ben plz. He can be on the show but he just cant speak. Maybe word bubbles?

[Oblicion93]

@ChangoSun thats what im saying

[mefilmmaking]

@ChangoSun That would work.

[Oblicion93]

Ben is so painful/hilariously awful to watch.

[Foto1976]

good job ben

[mefilmmaking]

@Foto1976 yes good job @ making this the worst TYT hour... ever? It was bad.

[BeastAP23]

"actually Alec is the Bald-one Hahaha good stuff" (face palm)

[chewey59428]

rap was nice.

[InSaNoDaCloWn]

if you haven't seen cenk on msnbc you should watch. he fucking threw down today

[godawefulll]

@InSaNoDaCloWn Cenk is The KRAKEN, people should know he kicks ass by now;)

[Roninlord25a]

drive up bj, life is good. I will take a big mac, large fry and a asian girl in a school girl out fit lol

[imlaughing2death]

Wow, a story about Italians and mushrooms and not one mention of Super Mario?

[GrrlyDervish]

I wondered several times what Anna was going to say, Maybe its just a perception but it seems like Ben shut her down more than once when she had stuff to say about the story...Ben, hush. We LIKE it when Anna talks.

[tatertotter808]

@GrrlyDervish Definitely. We like it more when she talks than when he does.

[asdfxcxv]

what the fuck, tyt rap #2 beats the shit outta the 1st one

[JMKats89]

Great show guys.. entertaining and informative..cheers!

[Fangtorn]

Ben rules. Suck it.

[mefilmmaking]

@Fangtorn Suck whaaa..... LAME responses always get ignored.



[Fangtorn]

@mefilmmaking Well obviously my comment wasnt lame as it wasnt ignored...

[Foto1976]

@duhman024 hell no ben is awesome

[rodkill100200]

@duhman024 agreed!

[mefilmmaking]

@duhman024 Absolutely.

[revelwoodie]

@duhman024 What's wrong with Ben? I like Ben.

[GorgonLuvs8008135]

They should have mentioned that Rick Sanchez is a murder.

[FixedNewsChannel]

@GorgonLuvs8008135 - Is a murder? LOL Get your fucking grammar sorted out.

[GorgonLuvs8008135]

@FixedNewsChannel ok, murderer. Rick Sanchez is a murderer. They should have mentioned that. He killed some one and got way with it.

[rodkill100200]

@kikkimikki agreed!

[mefilmmaking]

@kikkimikki Ben saying it for years....

[Pleblian]

CNN could care less, the american audience accounts for 10% of their market shares

[SimonSez83]

ben is the most boring host ive ever seen

his tone is boring his voice is boring, his way to tell stories is boring

cant believe he reviews entertainement for CNN

[Bauks420]

Ahh shit Jesus Got left out the rap

[Maziyar]

jon stewart should NEVER be on the news.

thats not his job and it shouldn't be.

and did you know.... cenk was finally on the daily show. i think it was august 17th and it was a segment on net neutrality.

you guys gotta interview jon stewart.

[whoyouare13]

There is no YK but there IS KY,and I'm not talkin about the state. HAHA

[jamieconon]

great show today. probably the funniest i have ever seen ben

[MetalGearGas]

@jamieconon I've always found him funny, there's something about snide jews that makes me laugh.

[Maziyar]

@jamieconon

lol. snoop is in the house. TYT just DOES it!

[mefilmmaking]

@jamieconon i guess you don't really watch the show much.

[jamieconon]

@mefilmmaking only every day! i like ben anyway but he was bringing it extra hard today

[GrimUpNorthLad]

Its OK 2 make jokes about fictional characters

[Domzdream]

Geez. Regarding that drive in prostitution. Man, that's just creepy. It's a weird reality we're currently living in.

[SinisterSkip]

Here in the Netherlands, for my study on City Planning, we are FORCED to get a total of 3 internships to succesfully finish our study. It's normal in a significant part of all academic/university studies because it makes you more aware of what you're getting yourself into when you finish your study + gives a big plus/ is often a neccesity for a good CV (curriculum vitae). We get paid 250-550 euro's a month from the company that we work for as intern, EVEN in this bad economy,

So -> WTF america

[gregaaron89]

I'm starting to really like ben. he and anna make a great team

on his own on the other hand...

[eliasfrown]

Might sound a bit n00bish, but just wondering, is this video a full video comprising all of the other individual videos they release? (excluding Cenk's MSNBC appearances) It would make my life a whole lot easier.

[liliua2003]

turkish guy*

[liliua2003]

LMFAO! @ the turkish facebook song!!!! where is that balding song with the bitches in banana skirts?? on the boat!

[Domzdream]

I gotta say, Ben is starting to grow on me. It's no Cenk, but he's actually pretty good....when he's not waffling too much or flogging the joke to death.

Thumbs up from me.

[lowfatfishsticks]

@Domzdream He just seems better because Cenk is kind of their.

[Domzdream]

@lowfatfishsticks

haha. Maybe, yes. It looks like Cenk is the main artery of the TYT. The other members always seem at their best when feeding from his energy.

[EsCurve]

that guy reminds me of Jeff Goldblum

[Kubillus]

That was an AWESOME pun by Ben... Genius!

[Domzdream]

Woow, dude. That snipe at jesus was a bit in bad taste. Thus why Anna went 'ouch'. I'd love to be a fly on the wall and hear jesus come down hard on that Ben guy. Thats was a bit uncalled for in my opinion.

But it's all good. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger I suppose.

[MrXanderTV]

42:13 LMFAO!!!!

[megagagnon1]

Where's the birth certificate?

[CognosSquare]

Wolf Blitzer on CNN would never have an argument like that with anyone.

[mefilmmaking]

@CognosSquare your right: Reasons for CNN's failing ratings. Cenk might have gone overboard but..... it's better than tamed and subjective.

[CognosSquare]

@mefilmmaking and CNN has no content. Cenk goes on for double or triple the time CNN spends on anything.

Healthcare debate is like: We have dude 1 and dude 2 making the obvious superficial points. 1:30 minutes later "thank you guys". Leaving everyone frustrated or indifferent about the mess.

Fox really hammers their stuff in. Coordinated messages from Oreilly, Beck, Hannity. Hour after hour. "The manhattan mosque"
