  • Lewis Black for president! Anyone? No? Word, I'll just keep watching his comedy then.

  • @NoBrainNiagra

    LMFAO,you are indeed the Moron Of The Year.

    "Liberalism caused the global meltdown. LMFAO--- check back with us after you have completed your GED

  • My hero lol

  • a big fuckin' thing SPA!

  • It's a good idea at base. Of course, the real problem is WHAT and WHERE...

  • Just to put things in perspective, a Big Fucking Thing on Wall St., Manhattan killed the economy.

  • A location didn't cause the global economic melt down,an ideology did called liberalism.

  • I saw this performance on tv & this bit was the beginning of a quote that I have repeated to many friends. He goes on to finally suggest that perhaps we should build a wall. Build a wall across the Canadian border: Because THAT'S where all the cold air comes from! As a Minnesota resident, I'm firmly in agreement with him! LOL (Note: The funny part is the separation from the cold, not from the Canadian people - Just so you know...)

  • yup someone has to flip the burgers

  • "An incredible number of people can't handle alcohol without killing people in car accidents and injuring others in bar fights and household disputes as it is"

    so bann alcohol....it kills more people each year than pot ever could...lets take away alcohol and replace it with pot

  • @Dreamerx47 Hey! Leave us alcoholics alone. I'm against drinking and driving, my aunt was killed by a drunk asshole. The problem is with personal responsibility. I don't like weed but I'm not against anyone using it. Can't all us substance abusers get along!

  • @D33Lux

    Sure... it's all warm and fuzzy till the crackheads show up to the party!

  • i think they tried that in the thirties and it worked.

  • lol, yep. Its called the Hoover dam!

  • if by that 'thing' you mean WWII then yeah.

  • The war helped weapons manufacturers make huge profits, yes. But the public works programs had the economy already well on the way to recovery.

    Europe has not had a major war since WWII and it's economy is based on the building and maintainabce of public works.

  • @MisterEvil1

    And their transportation and public works infrastructures are a lot better overall in urban areas than they are in the US too. Their mass transportation alone blows the US away.

  • that sounds like the typical response from someone who has not done their research on the subject, and by research i do NOT mean actually smoking weed lol. alcohol and tobacco are in fact very much worse than marijuana, yet they are legal. if you are looking to denounce immorality, you should probably confront those first.

    and dont even get me started on crime and addictions. i probably dont have enough space in this box for those lol.

  • I want to build a big fuckin thing!

  • Build a big fucking thing. I DONT CARE WHAT IT IS. As long as its big and its a fuckin thing!!

  • or we could go to college and get good jobs lol

  • heheh. im going to college to get a good job.

  • everyone can't have "good" jobs

  • true that well i mean like some people that are smart and cable of getting a good job are just lazy and dont wanna do it

  • what i was trying to say is that not everyone is going to be a doctor and engineer, someone has to be a cab driver and cashier.

  • true true well all im saying is you shouldnt go down without trying

  • Answer from the government, "thats too fucking easy to do that". Too good for the environment as well.

  • I got a better idea legalize weed

  • no.

  • yes

  • yes

  • no.

  • best comedian

  • that whole thing is a thats was she said

  • Oh wow, good one. How fucking old are you, 12?

  • chillax grandpa. its just a joke. why take ur bitchy atitude out on ppl on youtube. its pretty sad.

  • Oh oh, I think I've heard of that Big Fucking Thing, it's in CA, right?

    But seriously, I don't think the U.S. can hold anymore Big Fucking Things, lest it sink.

  • IM GONNA BUILD A BIG FUCKIN THING

  • Oh my gentle Jesus I can't stop laughing when I see this.

  • Where did they build the BFT?

  • china dude, They bulld BFTs in china..

  • the Bird Nest olympic stadium=BFT

  • Fucking thing!

  • As long as it's big, and it's a FUCKIN THING!

  • I wanna see the the big fuckin thing!

  • ... a big fuckin thing SPAAAA!

  • BEST!

  • I've seen the 'thing'. xD

  • We need that thing. NOW!

  • lol AS LONG AS IT`S BIG AND IT`S A FUCKIN THING! Sentence full of win! =D

  • Amen :)

  • @linklord0 Push 3 to hear it over again.

  • lol...this might actually work.

  • Broken Window Fallacy. No it won't. :P

  • the broken window fallacy states that it will work

  • Do you even know what the broken window fallacy is? Sure, it'll generate spending, but it'll end up destroying total available capital by diverting resources into a more inefficient use.

    It's just more of the same bullshit that caused our current crisis.

  • The whole point is that, in a recession, people can't *use* their available capital because there's a demand shortfall. Sure, government spending in a period of strong growth might crowd out private investment. But you may have noticed there's not a lot of private investment going on right now.

    (And the bullshit that caused this crisis wasn't government spending. And even if it *were* the national debt that's to blame, you'd have Reagan, Bush, and Bush to thank for that.)

  • Jesus H. Christ shut the hell up. It's stand up comedy.

  • Worked just fine in the 1930s, until the budget hawks won out in '37 and employment plummeted again.

  • This, ladies and gentleman, is the mainstream Keynesian horse shit that ruined the global economy. Don't tolerate it.

    Taxing money from the population and using (wasting) it to build a big fucking thing will only impoverish the nation. It is consumption, not investment. Look up the broken window fallacy.

    FTR, i was responding to jyrinx, not Lewis Black. LB is hilarious, but remember what you're watching: entertainment!

  • how about a BIG FUCKING HOSPITAL or say a BIG FUCKING THING YOU NEED.

    *clue*

  • How bout a big fucking health care plan for America...Not that I care,I'm nice and cozy up here in Canada.

  • don't get too comfortable, Luv... Harper is working HARD to ensure we get AmeriKKKa-lite healthcare...

    or to sell off every single thing we have to Americans.

    There was a reason Harper's Health Minister was in Denver for the DNC: to SELL US OUT to the privatized healthcare operators & US 'healthcare' insurance providers.

    They dump MASSIVE funding into Canada to ensure it happens!

  • Thanks for the reply to my comment, I find that really interesting. Now I feel somewhat uneasy about being here. Damnit, why do politics have to ruin everything....

  • check out:

    "Council of Canadians"

    trust me.

    'Plan México' & 'Plan Columbia' will give you chills

    Check out Mark Thomas' 'On Coca-Cola' review of how US corporations use the 'School of the Americas'/WHINSEC graduates to torture, Balkanize, kidnap & destroy any human rights or labour organizers.

    Mark's got *lots* available for free online: fantastic documentaries, BBC 4 "Dispatches" shows, standup routines

    ... & a new book called "Belching Out The Devil" which expands on Coca-Cola research

  • 7ych0,

    Thats the kicker, not everyone knows these things. America has proven to be one of the most unintelligent countries on Earth. What Lewis says may not sound "smart" to you because he uses curse words all the time but all in all he knows wtf is goin on.

  • What has Lewis Black done. Isn't still doing stand up and his root of all Evil. God knows there still alot of things to compare for his show. Also what does he think of the new president. I haven't heard him come out and speak about anythign lately.

  • The things he says are not really that smart. Everyone should be able to know these things.

  • See, Lewis Black is smart. This is exactly what needs to happen right now. We need to create jobs to bail us out. Giving everyone $1000 does not do anything!

  • XDDD OMG I remember reading this bit in 'Nothing's Sacred'

  • right on the money

  • HAHAHHAHA

  • No wonder the Egyptians were so successful! People still travel from all over the world to see their "big fuckin' things"

  • LMAO! bRILLIANT idea, I just wish I had a "big fucking thing" in my pants :(

  • THE BIG FUCKING THING

  • i gotta see the big fuckin' thing.

  • I don't care what it is, as long as it's big and it's a f***in' thing! gotta love it

  • So true

  • He's an absolute Genius!

    Lewis Black For President in 2012!!!!!

  • im voting for Stephen Colbert

  • ok stephen we all know its really you

  • whos stephen? Im just a random comedian/news show host

  • ROFL Big Fuckin Thing SPAAAAAA!

  • We could use a big fuckin' thing right about now in this current economy.. This country has a severe lack of fuckin' things, especially those that can be called 'big'... SO WHADDRE YOU PEOPLE WAITING FOR!? BUILD A BIG FUCKIN' THING RIGHT NOW!!

  • Disneyland-big fucking thing

    Statue of Liberty-big fucking thing

  • stat of liberty is in the water

  • so its an interesting big fucking thing.

  • so its a big fuckin FLOATING thing

  • lol at the comment

  • hahaha this is the funniest thing i've seen all night!

  • Lewis Black is one of my all-time favorites, but don't disrespect Bill Hicks. He was one of the greatest COMEDIANS ever, not just his political stuff which was way way ahead of it's time. They both rock there's no need to bash Bill Hicks, or give the Bill Hicks comments a thumbs down, you just make yourself look stupid.

  • someday I'll build that big fuckin thing!! lmfao

    lewis black kicks ass!

  • Lewis Black is great, but if you want to see the best political comedian of all time, you might wanna check out Lenny Bruce or Bill Hicks

  • Bill Hicks is better, Louis is heavily influenced by him.

  • I just can't believe Hicks has been dead so fucking long. So many people (especially on YouTube) love to throw around the word 'genius' at anything mildly stimulating. Hicks, however, is a true deserver.

  • Yeah, it's really unfortunate that he's still relatively unknown.

  • Woo!! 100th review!!!

  • "And that stimulates the fucking economy *too*."

  • "as long as its big, and is a fuckin thing!"

  • great. absolutely great!!

  • THE BIG FUCKING THING!

  • LMAO!

  • I want a "Big Fuckin' Thing Lunchbox". I think that would be cool....

  • Lewis Black for President

  • But, then he would have to lampoon himself!

  • He's referring to the old public works projects in a funny way. Tax money went back to the average joe who worked on them, then he spent that money on stuff other people produced, etc. On top of that we got roads and parks out of it.

  • A long time ago, our former President Roosevelt spent a huge sum of money to build the "Big fukin thing". Everyone helped work on the "big fuking thing". It took generations to build the "big fukin thing". People from all over the world came to see the "big fuking thing" Decades later the big fuckin thing Roosevelt set out to create still stands...

    America

  • wasnt that the Panama Canal?

    thahts a big fucking thing, but no one wants to go way out itno to middle of fucking no where to see that big fucking thing

  • oh em geez i luv this guy!

    BIG FUCKING THING!

  • lol that was hilarious

  • A BIG FUCKING THING!

  • A big fucking thing SPA!!!!!!

  • lol i cant stop laughing help me pleze i think i might die.

  • This is so fucking funny. Lewis Black is now a new hero of mine.

  • They built a "big fuckin thing" in North Korea called the Ryugyong Hotel and it crippled the economy. . .

  • that was too fuckin big :)

  • " if we are in the middle east for oil why the fuck is gas price so high" Easy. Get more oil+raise gas prices= GET A SHITLOAD OF MONEY. It's always been about greed man. Bush has ties to the oil companies. The head of the oil companies are greedy bastards. Iraq is siting on huge amounts of oil. See the connection?

  • "also facts show that bush was not even related at any point with the company that wants to build a pipeline through afghanistan for oil." And facts also show that Bush used Afghanistahn to persuade a scared country to go into Iraq. Even when the intelligence agencies found no connection between Saddamn and Al-Qaeda, we went there to "fight terrorism".

  • dude it's just a joke!

  • When i saw this on TV it was my favorite part.

    Does anyone know where to find the fill clip?

  • Our economy is a FAR more pressing issue than some people who don`t have the training OR the power to be a real threat to us.

    "those fucking bastards" weren`t the cause of 911. But WHOA!! I KNOW THAT YOU`LL NEEEEEVER believe THAT! Thats ANTI AMERICAN !!!

    NO! IT ISN`T! IT`S REALITY!!

    Bush is... A BUSH!! WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR

    O

    I

    L

  • Build a big fuckin thing like they did in Canada - build single payer national health care!

  • Bring the troops home, use deficit spending to fund work programs to build larger public transportation systems... i.e. bullet train, light rails... etc. Change the infrastructure of our cities.

  • what about dont bring the troops home finish those fucking bastards then worry about our economy.

  • I hate it when ppl do this on youtube, They tease you with good content and it only lasts thirty seconds

  • this is funny, what are you talking about, i know its short bud it does have meaning

  • hey it shows you how long they are. rolls eyes

  • Reminds me of Keynes saying that the government could put money in a jar, bury it, and have people unbury it to stimulate the economy.

  • Really?

    ...shit... that's big.

  • I hope they build a big fuckin' thing in my country, too, because the economy could sure use that kind of boost.

  • id say nobody sees how important canada is sum 41 kenny vs spenny niagra falls etc.

  • I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic. Anyway, I think most Canadians prefer that the world doesn't see how important we are (not that we're all *that* important); it helps to keep us modest & humble and we make fewer enemies. However, there are some great things about Canada & most Canadians think it's important. (Where else would they live?) Except maybe the French, those filthy, poutine-eating, maple-syrup-hoarding, uppity frogs don't seem to care much for their own country nowadays.

  • i wasnt being sarcastic. i am going to either amsterdamn or more likely toronto. and for the record i think you snd jst a little suspicious!

  • You think I sound suspicious?! What, like, suspiciously like a Canadian? Is that what you mean? Of course I sound suspiciously like a Canadian; I am one.

    I just kind of thought you were sarcastic when you said Sum 41 and Kenny vs. Spenny because there are waaay better Canadian bands and TV shows. But, I guess you could do worse: Celine Dion & The John Dore Show come to mind.

    Anyway, go to Amsterdam if possible, not Toronto; too much smoke, traffic, craziness, and surly people in Toronto.

  • hey dickhead i think sum 41 is the best thing to come out of canada since national health insurance!

  • Well, to each his own. One man's trash is another man's treasure. But, for my money, MGB is a far, far superior Canadian band. Quite possibly the best Canadian band ever, I think.

    Dickhead.

  • Toronto rules, also you two can't argue over which band is better, that is a matter of preference

  • Moar like Nigra falls AMIRITE??

  • not in your spelling

  • government suits should listen to lewis black on the country's problems instead of worrying if they are going to make 50 million or 100 million dollars, or if they are going to get caught accepting bribes. thats right I said it! What now

  • I don't care what it is! As long as it's big, and it's a fuckin' thing!

  • I gotta see this big fuckin' thing!

  • I love this guy! its the same things we're fustrated about, hes just adressing them and having use listen by making us laugh while hes making these points, he actully helped me write my paper with this joke,lol but of course i had to leave the word "fucking" so its just "big thing", not as funny without the fuck between,lol

  • Where do we put this big fucking thing?

  • NYC hah

  • Biloxi

  • A big fucking thing SPA! LMAO!

  • A big fucking thing SPA! LMAO!

  • Can we build more than one big fucking thing? Thats what I wanna know.

  • always

  • Lol. Of course. Just look at the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty (even though France actually made that). But Ms. Liberty is a big fuckin thing so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

  • LMFAO I could watch this forever

  • the Big Fuckin Thing Resturant! Hahahahaha

  • Lewis Black, a seemingly cranky comedian. My god he is funny, I will not lie.

  • So he is a Keynesian then.

  • where can i see this big fukin thing?

  • Hmm? 0_0 I've got to see the big fucking thing.

  • Sweet 8 out of 10.

  • i watch the first 11 seconds over and over again

  • "I don't care what it is! As long as it's big, and it's a fuckin' thing!" Ah yes, we salute you, Lewis!

  • "I want to close down the Federal Reserve"--- Ron Paul

  • economics class, lewis black

  • i'll go!

  • when its the whole how to simulate the economy instead of 29 seconds its funnier

  • i think leading up to this is where he said the government sent out a $300 check to ppl to stimulate the economy. "$300 dollars didnt stimulate the economy. All it did was remind us how FUCKED we are! The only way it MIGHT... have stimulated the economy was if we all got together at the banks and went... NOW! It may not stimulate the economy but it wouldve been fun."

  • Then you'll need a big fucking box to put it in!

  • I don't care what it is, as long as it's BIG and it's a FUCKING THING!

  • I GOT SEE THE BIG FUCKING THING!

    LMAO!

  • thats what she said

    haha

  • LMAO!

  • man i tell you, I GOT TO SEE THE BIG FUCKING THING!!!!
