Armando Iannucci - Bush vs. Kerry debate

[Tzelemel]

You've got to admit, it's a pretty good edit.

[Bla31n]

Alien vs. Predator: which ever one wins, we all lose.

[RockAndRollWillie]

editing this wouldnt have been possible if he didnt stop, stutter and errr all the time lol

[michellelouis85]

i voted for kerry what the fuck happend?

[xukeith33]

stupid video.

Obama is sooo bad. He is rolling around the country in staged for tv events to bash Wall Street which gave him millions of CSH to win. He has no clue how to govern. Bush was no angel but at least he was principaled and spoke from the heart and didn't support the killing of 4000 people everyday.

[criticalbil1]

Good editing :) I particularly like how happy he looks after he's said "September the 11th" as if this is some profound truth that can't be argued with. Hopefully viewers here will realise this is satire, but like good satire, it exaggerates in order to make its point: Bush was the confused puppet of powerful interests who understood (correctly) that in order to hold on to power and achieve their agenda, they needed to keep a large number of voters confused too.

[slw2222]

Bush may beat around himself but you shouldn't ...

... Bush< ter ra isim.

[muhib4364]

Is this for real????

[NaMgKCa]

no. but its very funny.

[chernobilrasputin]

american people want bush for a president !!! so what kind of american

people live in america who want a bush as a president? yakki

[zaczattack]

hey dumb fuck that wasn't real, it was edited. Not that hard to do it either.

[nden85]

americans are so fucking supid, i've just read all your retarded comments, how the hell do you not twig that this has been editted. the subtlties of political satire from the uk go straight over your heads (and this isn't even subtle).

[krevno]

@nden85 Steady on. You can't judge America by its internet commentators.

[ctk86]

@nden85 Generalizations make you look stupid.

[gonotredame40]

@nden85 you dumbass, kids in england are making these edited videos. if anything it shows that faggots in the uk have nothing better to do than to play xbox and use computers. and by the way stop complaining you sound like that old bitch with the crown on her head..

[nden85]

@gonotredame40 it was edited and created for a program on UK tv by one of our most respected comedians called Armando Iannucci. I clearly know it is edited and that was my entire original point, I was observing how ridiculous it was that so many people had failed to pick up it is an edit.

[gonotredame40]

@nden85 Most americans dont get uk tv networks. yes its clearly an edited but bush was such a jackass that i wouldnt think twice if he actually would have been speechless during this debate.

[shoegalsho2]

@gonotredame40 Oh dear... you really are showing yourself up here.

[ligyro]

wow this is so painful to watch does he even answer the questiom the vid cut off?

[artvandelay0]

Good editing! LOL.

[chelxeaty]

okay - i understand this is edit - but did he have anyone in his administration that was able to make his speeches, or help him on the topics in debates - like cmon thats horrible

thats crazy to be a politician and not be ready or prepared for debates!!!!

[Gaos03]

Watching this makes me sick. This man is the worst president EVER!!!! The day he got re elected was one of the worst days in my life. I can not believe that there still are people out there who support this guy.

[djedd23]

lol Americans please! I'll just paste the comment below here. "You're kind of missing the point. The clip was from a political satire show in the UK, it was deliberately edited for amusement. Take a look at other clips done by Armando Iannucci and you'll see it's something he's done a lot."

[allboutk]

what about the day he got re-elected

[barbarajmay]

what about the day we figured out he rigged the election?

[ccampbell949]

this is painful to watch

[LegendaryJarl]

Theres our president,according to him the U.S is the land of the free and home of the whopper.

[GuRiRu]

You know, I watched that debate and I have it on video and it did not happen this way. I don't have to love Bush to hate what you have done here. With all the bad moments to point at, why do you feel the need to make something up. This part of the debate was actualy a slam dunk for Bush and is what probably won him the election.

[TomNUFC]

You're kind of missing the point. The clip was from a political satire show in the UK, it was deliberately edited for amusement. Take a look at other clips done by Armando Iannucci and you'll see it's something he's done a lot.

[keflar5]

Nice

[tylerWR81]

this is soo fake.. if any of you know how to edit, you would agree.

[Cazuela87]

there's your elected president.... leaders of the free world my ass

[kevin5562146]

and yet hillary clinton and critics talk about barack obama not having sufficient experience if not any. this goes to show that she is a cold liar. the obama campaign should use that clip in commercial to demonstrate to what degree. after that deflate of a debate the guy actually went on to serve "ANOTHER" term a the president. wow! i think you all get my point. FYI i have the live recordings of that and it was horrible, just a shame.

[playboy8560]

why would you edit that, thats not right you dont need to do that

[indierock49]

i think the point of this clip was the appalling 30 seconds of idiotic stuttering

[jarzhinio]

It is amazing if you look at how many people have put a comment along the lines of 'the editing is obvious'. America this is we in Britain call a satire!

It's not a clever observation to point out that it is edited together, any more than it is a clever observation to point out that the celebrity voices in southpark aren't their real voices and are mostly performed by the writers.

[shnochta]

you're all fuckwits.

armando is a genius.

and a fuckwit.

[UreAwePish]

this clip is funny but not as funny as the comments posted by people(americans) questioning it!i know george bush is retarded but its so obviously a pisstake!Armando Iannucci is a very talented british comedic writer u fuckwits

[Freebird11011988]

Dude, relax. I think his work is very impressive, too. Don't go around calling people "fuckwits". You just made that word up, did'nt you?

[AlexisCapri]

fuckwit is a common insult used in the UK

[Freebird11011988]

i think when he says "let me finish" at the end gives it away. Granted Bush is an idiot, but why would he say that if he hadn't even started?

[Freebird11011988]

the video looks legit, until the end with the frequent cutaways...

[sickmint79]

is this spliced?

[blatspanner]

voting blair in 3 fucking times doesn't really make the british look too smart.

[AlexisCapri]

I didn't particularly like Blair but let's be honest, he was at least intelligent.

[kirbymaster5]

is this real?

[RockRoxi]

absolutely great

[LyrcaVirgin]

I thought kerry was very polite in this depite (even if its edited)

[LeBleu10]

hahahahahahahahaha.

[scj16]

obviously this is edited. its real, but its edited. But yeah, he is evil.

[cousyrules]

come on the us voted bush, so that says something about some americans out there, dare i say most

[presty7]

popular vote doesn't decide the election, dumbass

[cousyrules]

how then

[m19566]

no it doesnt but hey if the popular votes didnt decide the electoral college's votes, how did G W Bush win the election my friend...

[Freebird11011988]

the amount of electoral votes is based on state population. So it is possible to not have the most popular votes but still win because the electoral votes are the only thing counted. In 2000 Gore actually won the popular vote, but bush won florida, hence he got all the florida electoral votes and that put him on top. Do i agree with the system? No.

[leeh41171]

BRILLIANT. made me laugh

[someperson99]

bush is a dickhead

[ixhawkeyeix]

o stfu kerry has no sense going on about bin laden jesus christ kerry that had nothing to do with iraq. GET A CLUE U STUPID DEMOCRATS! kerry kerry kerry FUCK U!

[shaggydaplaya]

bush is as dumb as the country itself! americans are uneducated.

[XZZZX333]

Obviously the man is a puppet and can't speak unless someone writes him a speach. He's just an outlet or a speaker. Really unfortunate that a man like that is the President (Moron)

[ninher]

Americans are not uneducated. Just because our President can't tell his right from left, doesn't mean we're all dumb.

[YankeeFanatic22]

GOD KNOWS what he was busy doing under that podium!!! Both hands NOT visible....lol! NAUGHTY PRESIDENT!

[Chubachus]

fak

[dunnzer5]

ha he was probably taking a crap in his pants at the time

[YankeeFanatic22]

Nope, too constipated. His colonoscopy doctor discovered quite a few WMD up his ass! LOL!!!

[YankeeFanatic22]

**Response to "dunnzer5"'s comment**

[XianSlader]

like the good book says...believe a lie and be damned! Democrats said Saddam was a menace, one said he'd attacked innocent 10 times inc Kurd Massacre,kids,women,old men...

[eba23]

sooooooooo funny... good job... really describes the president...

[1L0V3C1IT]

i remember watching this, no edits, after the debate the BBC pointed out to their audience the pack on Bush's back(49scs)

the guy is so thick he can't even think for himself, just as well he draught dodged, he'd have gotten a whole platoon killed with that enormity of stupidity

[1L0V3C1IT]

watch for the receiver in the back of bush's jacket,you cant miss it,48seconds

[Emondotcalm]

I heard they requested NO cameras behind the Pres. Too bad! When you watch the big hesitations in his speech.... the puppet is receiving his instructions on what to say. Question is, who's the puppeteer? Karl? Dick?

[paddedpencil]

poor thing

[Finger2212]

I love George Bush so bad lol

[dasevergnini]

pointless video.

[TheAdventMaster]

Just a bunch of edits, but very funny :P

[Memento94]

How did Bush win this election?

[michaeljfo]

he didn't ever here of vote caging? read a book!

[HuckabeeForPresident]

I watched all three debates between Bush and Kerry, and it doesn't take a genius to realize that this video is fake. How idiotic of the Bush haters to actually believe this. Are you all really that stupid, those of you who believe this is a real video? LOL!!

[illwill0807]

Hella funny............

[kayned]

rofl fucking awesome logged in just to vote 5 on this shit haha

[bopomofo]

I hope this was just edits.

[SarahMacgregor]

armando iannucci tends to do a lot of the stuff so i am guessing it was edits.

[Xone7]

LMAO!!!

[gavino1983]

its obviously edited

[sirinferno]

apart from the "Let me finish" when nobody was speaking bit...that kinda confirmed the idea of him having an earpiece

[shoemaker1]

Yeah wait to edit it like all the other Bush speeches.

[callester]

yepp thets the most powerful man in the world. wow i guess we are about as near the end of the world as we have ever been

[topraman517]

It was 9/11! Everything is because of 9/11! lol

By the way, this is an edited video. Please do your research before you post comments, or you're no smarter than the Bush himself.

[deadeyeDD]

"September 11th" nods head*

classic

[earthacademy]

this is obviously real, you can tell by the fact he wears the same brain in each clip.

[scrubmacdub]

lol, good one

[cHeEzegRiS]

lmao... and the same tie.. hello?

[vividesigner]

lmao x infinity and beyond

[coolrob2157]

How can a man like that serve a 2nd term in office!? That's bull shit! Kerry should of won.

[fatty911]

Ye lucky canadians...

[Edddie9]

It used to said that a week is along time in politics, apparently so is 50 seconds!!!

[D4ni31]

so glad im canadian

[kobeshow08]

OWNED!

[mo8blazer]

Bush is a moron and those trying to stand up for him speak very clearly about themselves.

Edited or not, i'm not suprised at all.

[angelina5678]

you lot have got some serious learning to do about British SATIRE. The point that it was edited is the FUNNY part????

[pefan434445]

Incredible video. It is obviously edited from several parts of the debate, but sometimes "W" does talk that way.

[kelsey123XF]

EXACTLY! the fact that people are watching this, not understanding that it is a satire and taking it all in as what happened it ridiculous, obviously they've all proven themselves to be incredibly foolish, the world is being run by idiots, most of which are in here.

[paulieglott]

Don't attack me and send me messages that I am an idiot. I understood this was for humor, and I think it's freakin' hilarious. But for people like knice87 who couldn't tell the difference, I gave them a way to verify for themselves whether it was real or not.

[kelsey123XF]

You idiots!!! Its called satire thats what its about, using real events and satirising them, you dim wits! obviously he's not a total retard as he's just been given a senior post at oxford university!

[spleen001]

He got that post at Oxford because Daddy paid for it... show us some tangible evidence that the guy has a brain cell... his babbling in this clip is pretty close to his actual performance and he still uses 9/11 as his trump card.

[Craiging619]

haha classic

[callie26]

This man is President....why? Why? why?

[spy233]

actually dat is him but edited, anyway if it was unedited he wud seem much much more dumber

[shadowlesswalls]

bush did mess up horribly in teh debate so it's not too far from the truth but i think he didn't do this bad lol..

[filiz99]

I'm not a bush man but this was obviously edited.Just watch his heads possition after every cut and you'll see they're all in different possition that they were before (I mean left, right, up and down)

[gurtmassif]

haha! The fact that people are even considering its real says everything! v.funny

[moribundman]

Yep. But it's funny coz it's true. Albeit not.

[paulieglott]

This video is obviously edited for humor. All you have to do is watch the lights on the podium to recognize this. If I remember correctly, green=30 seconds left, yellow=15, red=5, blinking red=time up.

[Buried3030]

all these gay videos are fake....they're retarded

[kelsey123XF]

you idiot! its satire! its intended to be a joke, he has a show. Obviously your the retard, that didn't understand the concept of this. And how can a video be 'gay'? You idiot!

[Hewpie]

Well, Brokeback Mountain's 'gay', so is Pricilla, Queen of the Desert, well 'tranny'...

[Mushman34]

Pricilla is a fantastic piece of cinema. Whoever discounts it for featuring homosexuals is homophobic to an unhealthy degree.

[Hewpie]

If you follow the thread, we were having a discussion about whether or not this video is 'gay' (in quotes). I was merely pointing out that some films have a homosexual or transexual theme, thus explaining to kelsey123F how a video can be 'gay' (in quotes). By the usage of such slang does not imply that I am discounting it with a homophobic bias.

[wilsonnortheast]

@Mushman34 I thought it was about Transvestites, not homosexuals. Good god, you mean for all this time Ive been enjoying the dulcet tones of Terrence Stamp all the while hes playing a gaaaaayyy.

[kikdcat]

Yes it's absolutely fake. Armando lannuci is on a comedy news show on the BBC called "Have I Got News For You." It's just like the Daily Show. Fake news mixed with real stuff for the sake of humor.

[Cairbre]

"Is it fake?"

You're not much of an Armando fan I take it?

[erobinson]

rofl this is obviously fake. i watched the actual debate.

[liamrussell]

the fake one probs makes more sense

[knice87]

ok ppl is this video a fake or is it real?????? shit ....call me stupid or computer illiterate but i need to kno cuz it looks real.

[RamenOps]

of course it's real... fucking hilarious

[toolseye]

of course its a fake....fuckin hilarious

[EMraNx]

what a eh, um..... ah? well......... er, em ............ COCK!

[JohnaldChaffinch]

he is dumb as fuck but do you people realise that this is fake? if not you're just as dumb. i love chris morris and Armando Iannucci stuff, nice one for uploading this

[unrealboot1]

george bush may be a conspiracy...but i heard that he was really smart 10 years ago but now he is not smart cos hes got cognitive inefficiencies as he got older

[exceptionist2]

no it's all too real. I agree with the 51% rule. Americans are docile and party bandwagoneers. I am an a American by the way...fighting his stupid war.

[martouk]

it's a fake

[GeorgePedrosa]

Jesus H Christ how could you guys have voted in this guy... I'm brazilian by the way...

[GreatLoner]

Because 51% of the U.S. are morons.

[jonathanwentcrazytoo]

I still think that Chris Morris (worked with armando on stuff like daytoday) is better at the whole mash-up thing,, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=Yic-bQuKXrE&search=bushwacked

[Lupinflower]

Can you believe that is the world's most powerful man?

[fivepointsix]

no. and he's not. he does what Condoleeza Rice tells him to do.

[earthacademy]

I had some of that with my curry last night, it didn't talk to me though.

[Minichibi]

FuNnY as HELL

[rich1980]

great :O)

[tomsega]

I absolutely love this clip!

[stearmer]

hahahaha that was great..lol
