  • thats fuckin sweet

  • WHY are they bashing him??? a holes

  • wait did he really just say spend money instead of waiting and getting a free porche?!!?!?

  • wtf they are ragging on each other....lol

  • fuck commercials

  • why have these people made so many videos..this is so stupid...and these people are so white washed and immoral..I see why they get bombed all the time....fail? what a waste of a life.

  • About the guy who traded up from a paper clip to a house. It probably won't be done again, because at the time it was a very novel news story. Some guys were willing to make ridiculous trades (a keg for a snowmobile? really?) because they knew that they were also trading for 15 minutes of fame, not material goods. That's the thing a lot of people don't get.

  • HEY!!! this video was posted on my 17th birthday!!

  • whoever got the cell phone is a dumb-@ss.....

  • these guys are not funny :(

  • Its an old Porsche Boxter, or as we call it "The Poor Mans Nine-Eleven", the Boxter was basically for people that could not afford the Nine-Eleven or did not want the hassle of the Nine-Eleven to use as an everyday commute car. Don't get my wrong, it's still a cool car, but I am just saying.

  • @GunsOfThePhoenix troll

    

  • IS The LADY STUPID??!!!

  • this aint nothing there is a guy in mass. that traded up and owns a ferrari testarosa a lamborghini countach a lotus esprit twin turbo a prevost motor home a house, a 52 fountain, and tow trucks, I dont know his name but this guy is very smart and came from the streets, so this aint nothing compared to the guy I am talking about. but only people who know him know about this, he dont advertise because he dont like attention and I dont blame him. I saw one of his ferraris and it says :wana trade

  • The guyy who got the used iphone disliked this video 14 times.....

  • Ana ---- woot!

  • I used to do this with my friends when we were growing up. It's called "bigger and better" except we started with pencils and erasers instead and went around the neighborhood =]

  • at end of the day he stardted with a cellphone and got a car(porsche at that) give him props

  • the guy is a fucking idiot hatin on the ortiz becuse he is trying to make a point that in 2 years he couldve worked and bought the porsche, good point but you said "WORK" ortiz did not work at all all he did was just be on the computer and trade, no effort at all and no working a shitty high school job like most of us did...

  • The wost thing i have ever done in "THE CONTEXT OF COFFEE BEAN" : I gave a FULL FAT, EXTRA CREAM, EXTRA Chocolate Syrup, ICE MOCHA to a customer in stead of a "SOY - NON - FAT, de-caf LATTE/ No Sugar". That anorexic woman was so angry she almost collapsed, and then the customer who actually ordered the drink came by and said "thanks for holding the order, had to go wee..."

  • How is a Porsche $9000?

  • @BeastBoarder25

    its not . its worth less because its salvage

  • @BeastBoarder25 boxters are cheap... especially the ones made before 2000

  • @BeastBoarder25 porches arent expensive, they are the cheapest sports/luxury car out there.

  • @crackerz99 i think in the usa they are expensive because of tariffs like most european cars are there

  • i bet his friend is being a bitch and saying "i gave you that phone, that porsche should be mine."

  • I got a collectors item... a 1988 Toyota Deluxe Station Wagon

  • FAke and Gay!

  • Maybe I'll trade my used condoms for house & lot. ;)

  • That Porsche is not that good I saw a used one for $6500

  • FUCK YOU YOUNG TURKS YOUR HUYS ARE FUCKIN RETARTED I JUST DONT LIKE YOU 

  • @arley1025 THATS WHY YOU LOOKED THIS UP

  • @Willettes1 ONE. I DIDNT KNOW THESE FUCKS WERE THE ONES TO DO THIS SHIT 2.I WANTED TO SEE THE VIDEO 3. I DIDNT LOOK UP YOUNG FAG TURKS I LOOKED UP KID TRADES CELLPHONE 4.GO SHOVE A STICK UP YOUR ASS MAKE SURE ITS MORE THAT 14IN. SINCE 12 IS WHAT YOUR ALREADY USE TO....FUCKIN COCK SUCKER

  • @arley1025 lol wtf, grow up

  • lol Cenk makes the best voices. ASSHOLE!

  • fake n gay

  • what about the guy who went from the paper clip to the house?

  • i wish i can doooo that

  • the young turks=weak internet party line Hacks. especially the main guy, what a rubber. :P she squeezed a little lactate in a latte, s'all she did

  • sorry ana i dont c how its a fail to turn AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANY truck in for a porche

  • fuck the bronco... ill take a porshe anyday

  • Actually, I read an article about this guy, he got the Porsche Boxter S. Don't get me wrong Boxter is not the most expensive car Porsche produces but no way a 1975 Ford Bronco is worth more than a Porsche Boxter S. At least not in my country... Man, America is weird :P

  • a 1975 ford bronco is not worth 15 thousand dollars ,,morons

  • FFS, is the presenter serious in asking whether or not you can say "oriental rug"? (Go to the 2.28 mark)

  • I would've taken more pride in the fact that I had to work for my Porsche, rather than trading for it... that's just me though. I guess the teens today would rather spend their time doing things the easy way.

  • @afrosamurai22 work smarter not harder,

  • @positivesecret

    Yeah, that holds a little bit of truth... except, this guy didn't work. He sat on his ass in front of a computer for about 4-6 hours a day surfing the web. That's not work, that's a hobby.

  • @afrosamurai22 yea all the hours he put in he could have bought a house.

  • @positivesecret

    I don't know about a house... OK, look at it this way, if he had spent 6 hours a day working a job at 7.15 an hour (which I believe is the going rate for minimum wage now) 5 days out of the week for 2 years straight... that's around 20,000 dollars... not counting taxes. Now factor in that when you work, you can get more than just 6 hours a day. OK, now also factor in overtime and time and half... I'm just saying it would've paid off more in the end if he had gotten a job.

  • @afrosamurai22 He probably enjoyed the experience, and that's what counts. While getting a job might be better, working on your own is much less stressful and more pleasant because you set the pace (not your boss or a crowd of customers). In addition, if he is interested in a future career in business, he can intrigue employers by placing it on a resume and discussing the experience during the interview process.

  • @Taser15

    *Shrugs* I guess. I just don't view it as work. While he made this a success, it was nothing but a hobby. OK, but here comes the catch... now that he's got this "fantastic" car, how is he going to provide the maintenance, insurance, and gas that is needed for it? From what I've heard, this car needs some work... expensive work. Without a way to fund that work, he's probably going to have to sell or trade it away. Which makes these last two years pointless, imo.

  • its a fuckin porsche!!!!! he still better than u two dbags!

  • It's better than hearing about a Hispanic that stole a car instead of trading for it. Good job.

  • When were porsches 9000 dollars that is some nice deal they got.

  • was the job a blow?

  • FUCK FUCK MUST GET MEMBERSHIP.

  • I remember a guy in Alberta started with a paper clip and eventually ended up with a house. :)

    I have a sock with a hole in it ... I lost the other one. Who wants to trade me for a shoe?

    :P

    

  • @Joxman2k i remember a guy who started with a house and ended up with a paper clip

  • @redryan20000

    HAHAHA :)

    ...no seriously, I still have the sock. I don't care what kind of shoe, just a shoe.

    :)

    :P

  • Wow 2 years, thats still impressive but like Cenk said, im sure itll cost a LOT of money to maintain it.

  • @Chris12163 I read a post about it and the guy who was the trader is planning to trade the Porsche.

  • @Chris12163

    He could always let people take pictures of them standing beside it for a quart of oil :)

    :P

  • Cenk is missing what is interesting about this story.  It says something amazing about capitalism. What does it MEAN that the old phone is "worth" as much as the Porsche?

  • @greg5566 the old phone plus the value of his time

  • @raguv2000 I thought about that but that's not the answer. The people he traded with did not get any value from his time. There is an inefficiency in the system, that's true, but it's not relevant. In other words you could imagine a "perfect" CL where trades could be made instantly, and he could trade his way up immediately.

    (In fact, that's not dissimilar from the CDSs that destroyed the economy. That's precisely what the banks did--traded up until the system collapsed.)

  • This story is just getting so fricking old. He didn't trade a cell for a porsche, after many swaps he eventually got a hold of a worthless car that costs more to maintain each year than what he paid for it. Get a job dude.

  • This kid did great. He actually has a hobby (swapping) that makes money. Most hobbies are a bottomless pit.

  • dont stop with the porsch,get your mansion!! damn smart kid

  • i dont think you can say fail to anyone that did something that you cant do, quit hatin

  • How can that porsche be so freaking cheap???

  • the anouncer guys a fag

  • HA if u know how to fix cars ur self there isnt much cost except parts

  • @Opeeumm

    * $9,000

  • grand am's r plastic .. ive crashed into 1 and twisted it into a n "L" shape .. while i didnt even break a headlight xD

  • anyone know what Ana said in the postgame?

  • I like it when Cenk gets her laughing.

    Isn't there a story about a person who started trading with a paperclip and ended up with a house?

  • @DrakeMagnum yea

  • @EnvisionWoW now thats 12+ hours of working a day and most of my week. i'd rather spend 6 hours on craigslist than serve food and get yelled at for most of my day. but hey, thats just me.

  • skyhawk ftw

    

  • great journey but it doesn't compare to the guy that went from paperclip to mansion

  • this nikka win. 

  • 15k? 2005 WRX STi

  • so what did she do?

  • Depends on how much he sells the car for.

  • Two years? When with a good job you could 've made 40k.....

  • @300tunes he was 15, you can't get a job that makes 20 k a year at that age, at least not one that i know of

  • they are jealous

  • No Ana screw the blue book a porshe is better than a bronco........

  • This is like the guy who goes from a paper clip to a house, took him just a year.

  • @FoziaAbdi

    He should have got a $15k 2004 S2000 conv with low miles.

  • 1997-2000 Boxsters had eng failures, bad seals, poor ass parts.

    Freakin manifold is PLASTIC !!!

    Gear box is Plastic with a shoe string hooked to rear diff box, not a solid shaft.

    Cheap crap is light, but not impressive.

    Plastic manifold can be found on Ebay for $10 in few years !

    Dood has to have a lift to touch his mid engine.

    If its a 1999-2001 996 it has similar weak ass 3.4L which also is FAIL !!!!

    Folks, that why these years cars cheap, failing, price salvage eng $5k starting + labor

  • A guy in Canada turned a paper clip into a house. I'm not impressed.

  • @boshalladay It wasn't a house, but rather a two-story barn. Furthermore, he had a publicized blog to help him in his endeavors, whereas this guy just did it discreetly with no publicity.

  • @boshalladay lol what?

  • @boshalladay

    whoa hwat??? impressing :O

  • @boshalladay

    Dammit! I really need to read a couple of comments before I post :)

    :P

  • @boshalladay yeah, it took him some time to get that far as well. but thats really impressive. I remember that story.

    Still, its not easy to turn a phone into a porche, but a paperclip into a house is even tougher

  • @boshalladay A RED paper clip.

  • @boshalladay Damn canadians...

  • @boshalladay yeah but wasnt the house like 1000 dollars?

  • @boshalladay

    it was a red paper clip

  • Comment removed

  • @boshalladay Oh yeah, I read about that, he traded a paper clip for a bottle cap and a bottle cap for something else then traded something else for something else till he finally got himself a house :D I wish I can do that.

  • Yeah he could have made more money doing something else if he was so business minded :\

  • i have a dented purple suzuki xl7

  • how would like your coffee? BITTER!!!!!!

  • Haha cool xD

  • damnit i wanna know!!!!

  • i literally can't stop laughing like an idiot at this episode

    and yes porsche equals pussy magnet so that kid wins

    heading over to craigslist right now but can't say that i won't get side

    tracked by porn lol

  • heres my big question, where in the world is a porshe only 9000 dollars? i mean even used a ford mustang goes for about 5 grand up here in canada, and thats only a mustang

    i would love to find out what place sells used porshes for 9 grand

  • @ivenstorm

    it's probably used. I live in canada and i've seen used porches go for less because nobody wants to buy a car so expensive to maintain, thus they get sold for cheaper

  • Cenk I had a buick skyhawk too! I thought I was the only one that's ever owned one..

  • Could've sold the Bronco and just bought a better Porsche or kept money for repairs?

  • Awwww man, I REALLY REALLY wanna know what Ana did!!! D:

  • Fuck a piece of shit GM macho-mobile truck. Porsche: German engineering, leather seats, NOT assembled by retarded fucking overpaid union hillbillies.

  • dude a 75 Bronco is a collector's truck, thats awesome shoulda kept that

  • ppl talking about drinking ana's spit are going to be holding onto their v-cards for a while

  • Ana can spit in my cup any day ;)

  • "Im not saying anything, but just saying"

    I've been saying that for 2 weeks since he said it a little while ago

  • i would happily drink Ana's spit

  • $9000 porsche? Wuuttt?

  • @michaeljacksonator i could buy one of those.. 9k porsche.. where?

  • lol thats what i said,shit i bought a Cadillac  for 11,000,how the hell was that porsche only 9,000.i would have stayed with that bronco lol.

  • 50,000 people have been trying this since the rubber band guy, this is the only one I've heard of really succeeding.

  • i wouldnt be surprised if already traded the Porsche lol

  • @melojordans23 lol for a red paperclip (from the red paperclip project), lol this is such a rip off of that

  • whats the worst thing Anna has ever done? I want to know!

  • what the fuck is wrong with Anna in this episode? Im starting to think she should be in the TYT kitchen...

  • what are u talking about!!! this is massive win!!!!! phone => porsche

  • "with this attitude are you surprised?" I love this show. Number one news source right here babe!

  • Bronco's are no bueno par caca! The guy is a business man, hustler, and probably selling Crack to the Hollywood stars, his mother, and all his ex girlfriends.

  • I would have kept the Bronco.

  • i worked on a catering truck and every rude customer ended up with cockroaches in their tacos (extra crunchy)!!! =D

  • I wish they had of explained this story a little better. Why did the kid have to spend 4-5 hours a day? Doing what? I dont get how he did this.

  • @365daysgone

    probably looking for offers

  • @365daysgone I know guys who do this (although never this successfully as far as I know.) Basically they sift through ads hour after hour and sometimes you get lucky and you find a trade that's worth more than the stuff they want. You have to be insanely patient and keep looking through ads until your eyes bleed. If all goes well you can do a good trade every couple of weeks.

    Personally I think they're nuts ^^

  • I traded a salvaged 92 civic with no ac or heater for a 93 si del sol!!! =D

  • Reminds me of the red paperclip to house story...

  • FUCK YOU TYT!!!

    I watch you guys EVERY FUCKIN DAY. for the last year an a half EVERYDAY. I HATE when you guys say "Post game show" FUCK!!!

    Am I not a loyal subscriber... I don't have ten fuckin dollars for if I did I would buy some weed. BUT I DON'T. So stop rubbing the post game show in my face you fucks...

  • @upplsuckimcool16

    AHAHAHA!

  • @upplsuckimcool16 Why of all times do you snap now? Are you that desperate to discover what the most terrible thing Ana did is?

  • @upplsuckimcool16 first off, calm down, second of all, i agree its kind of annoying since they dont give support for mac users, like wtf? arent half of them mac users themselves?

    anyway eventually someone here is going to tell us what she said on the post game show, so its only a matter of time

  • Zing! @ 3:05

  • Zing! @ 3:09

  • cenk, a skylark is a fucking PIMP car!!!

  • @wpolo1087 - which probably explains why you've only been successful in pimping your kid sister.

  • Man she hiding them with a full neck black shirt :(

  • @NoDropLS perv..

  • I traded a Rolo for two Rolos on Craigslist once. The other guy thought it was a great deal.

  • He traded the iphone directly for the porsche, they're only a little more expensive

  • I don't care who you are that's fucking Awesome!!!

  • I would totally do it. I don't even have a cell phone. Thats how much I use it.(I am being kind of pressured into getting one, because I'm going to go to Band Camp and it'll be useful in case of something plus Marching Band and a lot of other shit I'm doing this year(Band nerds ftw) and it'd be useful for calling)

  • @ZKoftherebellion Band camp = everyone gets laid.

  • @ZKoftherebellion Hey man, marching band in highschool is nothing compared to college. You think your being pressured now, just w8 till college then.

  • Well heres what hes going to care about, " Oh my, the insurance is killing me!"

  • @EMPIREofPUPPETS Your'e joking, thats not what happened,

    id really like someone to tell me what she did, i have a mac so even if i did become a member i couldnt watch it thanks to stupid fucking software plugins or some shit (eat a dick steve jobs) so id really like to know

  • ..... maybe he should have spent that time putting his fat ass on a diet and exercising a little

  • @puddum Good insult. Your just jealous you don't have a Porsche douche.

  • @JesusRuelas92 that's a pretty pathetic way of getting one

  • hello dumbass the guy got one for free over a used iPhone that his friend gave him so i think thats cool

  • Did he say 46 hours a day?

  • @Bossentuppen he said 4 to 6 hours a day.

  • How about YoungTurksdotcom/givemeahandjo­bAnaKasparian ?

  • That hardly looks like a $9000 Porsche. Triple that unless it doesn't run.

  • @Asymmatrix the kelley blue book value of that car in excellent condition is $8,600...

  • I bet you'll get a few members just to hear what she did haha

  • @StillAware yeah i sort of want to know, but i dont have a credit card
