[duumas]

I think I've just been buffaloed...

[wguidful]

This is the first I ever pay attention to an English lesson !

[SmokeWeedEveryDay629]

I just had an English lesson outside of school and pay attention. Whoa

[MsEmandms]

The only thing is that you'd need to capitalize buffalo when you're talking about the city.

Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

[Ellie21408]

That was a pretty cool video. Technically speaking, the term for the first "Buffalo" is noun adjunct, which means a noun that modifies another noun. It works like an adjective, like you said. /nitpick over

[Ebob101]

This video buffaloed me.

[MrEdpon]

Buffalo.....

[ggjoe723]

Whew I'm totally buffaloed. I'm totally gonna say that in school tomorrow

[Leafeonsenergydrink]

I totally wrote my fiction story on this.

I'm not even kidding.

[Riddler0115]

Does the word buffalo look weird to anyone else after seeing it this many times?

[TheMeganCoffeyEffect]

Who else here is from Reddit?

[BenGeocth]

@jlp0719 This is just a random guess... But do u go to k12 and are in Mrs. Day's HOMEROOM? That's just a guess right off the top of my head...

[jlp0719]

My school sent me here, AWESOME 

[Leafeonsenergydrink]

I think you just buffalo'd my stupid, stupid buffalo from Buffalo.

[JAYMEN1234509]

My buffalo hit my buffalo next to my buffalo now I'm buffaloed

[mtnbikr4life]

You pronounced this video with such a funny connotation! It could have easily not been funny, but you did great man! hahaha

[birdsofafeather1990]

So the plural of buffalo is buffalo?

[cuisinarthatrack]

If you wanted to destroy all of the gametes of a late 60's rock band, you could say:

"Cream Cream cream." But I can't think of how to extend it beyond 3 words.

[jcasey528]

I'm buffaloed...

[budabass]

Thanks!

[PasswordsFailMe]

I love this video, as I too am obsessed with grammar and recently answered about five Yahoo! Answers questions about this topic, but here's the thing -

For a person who knows a lot about grammar, you'd think you would have

- capitalized the "i" at 0:55

- known that "alright" is not a word at 2:31

Otherwise, though, this was great! xD

You know, Wikipedia has an article on this. "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

[stickfigureparades]

@PasswordsFailMe Yeah...to be honest, I was a bit hasty in making this, and I missed a number of simple mistakes (the lowercase 'i', not capitalizing 'American', misusing 'alright'). I was trying to meet a deadline, so quality suffered a bit. Though technically none of those errors are errors in grammar; they're orthographical errors, which are different. Just sayin'. :P

Oh well, maybe I'll remake it and fix the errors someday...I'm glad you liked it in spite of my issues! :)

[PasswordsFailMe]

@stickfigureparades Deadline? Was this for a class? If so, I bet you got an A. Don't lie; we all know it's true. ;)

Ah! I stand corrected - which does not happen very often. Kudos to you. :D

[robealister]

@PasswordsFailMe -- Actually, alright is a word.

[PasswordsFailMe]

@robealister Wrong. It's a very common mistake, but it's entirely wrong. People think "all right" is used similarly to "already," etc., but it is not. "All right" is two words. "Alright" is not a word. I've known this forever. And I know it's true - my grammar textbook and an online dictionary both agree with me, as well as my English teachers.

[SkiDesignS]

Thia video buffaloed me.

[ShadowedHearts]

..............lmfao. xD

[xiamratedpgx]

Perfectly explained.

Double rainbow for you.

[radrayrush]

I loved this! You did a fantastic job of explaining buffalo... in my previous attempts I stared at the word for so long that it lost its meaning altogether. Thanks for clearing it up!

[forbiddengirl1994]

Ahhh mr. Franco you were rite about the word buffalo. I will see you at school after the break and question u next time you sub for one of my teachers Hahaa :p

P.s. this is Bianca and another thing it's weird for teachers to make vids on YouTube but this was actually pretty good so make more they are interesting! Haha

[kittenluv17]

Bahahahaha ! Mr . Franco is hilarious omg ! This is sooo funny I didnt really get it when you explained it in English class but now I do !! Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo !(:

[UltimateJyglypuff]

Do YOU have what it takes to crack this code!?!?!

[1randomvidsguy]

Its funny how this guy is the sub at my school, haha no joke:)

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

Bufftastic video :) really truly Buffalicious

[orangegold1]

Buffalo sauce is one proper noun.... You are wrong.

[stickfigureparades]

@orangegold1

The term "White House" can also be one proper noun, and yet, somehow, "white" is still an adjective describing the color of the "house", isn't it? It's all about perception and being open to interpretation. Thanks for your feedback, though! :)

[SwaggerLikeSutton]

@orangegold1 noo he's my sciencee teacher he's writee !

[danielw1245]

@orangegold1 it would be a common noun!

[robealister]

@orangegold1 -- buffalo sauce...

[owlcake]

Kitchen Buffalo for the win!!!!

[eatgluedrnkpaint]

i just buffalo'ed my panties.

[supermansflu]

[14MZG]

:D

[Danooshyk]

[Freecell82]

It raises the question, it doesn't beg the question.

[theDragonaut]

BASTARD

[La3li]

I was buffaloed before, but now you made everything clear ;-) thank you

[kiba40]

[anotherguyinthehood]

Now only if buffalo was a swear word.

[Jiardichou]

Vraie explication

[diosteen]

nice explanation, thanks,

but your are not very funny dude, next time, omit the jokes.

[BillyG800]

@diosteen his france metric system was funny

[KristinGJ1]

I have used this with my English classes. They love it.

[stickfigureparades]

@KristinGJ1 Thanks! I'm glad you're using it in the classroom!

[cvcs1]

@stickfigureparades I'd do the same if i could think of a way to use it... haha

[jenhegna1]

Great use of visual literacy and new presentation design principals. 

[makinbacon254]

Buffawhat?

[joicecris]

I lol'd.

[therapsids]

Buffalo buffalo, Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Try that one on for size.

[DiabolicalChemical]

This is awesome

[hilariousnickname]

I love this language.

[adraim69]

Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo is the longest one you can get. Noam Chomsky doesn't know what he's talking about.

To make it more clear, Buffalo (animal) = Dogs, Buffalo (city) = Tokyo, and Buffalo (action) = bite.

The sentence goes like this:

Tokyo dogs Tokyo dogs bite bite Tokyo dogs. or....

Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo

[U23Z26I9]

Here's my attempt at 15.

[Those] buffalo(es) from Buffalo [that are intimidated by] buffalo(es) from Buffalo intimidate buffalo(es) from Buffalo [you] buffalo from Buffalo [that other] buffalo from Buffalo intimidate [type of] buffalo from Buffalo.

[DraneXproductions]

@U23Z26I9 thanks wikipedia.

[U23Z26I9]

I contend that you could use 13 "buffalo" and still have a grammatically correct sentence. "Intimidate(d)" is substituted for the verb "buffalo".

[Those] buffalo(es) from Buffalo [that are intimidated by] buffalo(es) from Buffalo intimidate buffalo(es) from Buffalo [you] buffalo from Buffalo [that other] buffalo from Buffalo intimidate.

That's 13 for sure.

[xboxPHOENIX]

i once made a essay of 120 buffalo words and I told the teacher it's correct. I got an F.

[VeraLMuse]

@xboxPHOENIX poor you...

[unaturalx]

Great stuff! I just heard of a band with the same name ....now it all makes sense...

[waaa9waaa9waaa9]

[maijuxx]

omg, ima totally buffaloed :D

[pedro1492]

oh, buffalo.. thanks for clearing that up^^

(i'm confused)

[goodqueenbess]

Being that this video is about words and language, I thought I would point this out. You are actually misusing the phrase "begs the question." You mean something more along the lines of "raises the question." "Begs the question" is the name of a logical fallacy (assuming conclusion in premises... like "That argument begs the question."), and using it to introduce a question is incorrect. Pet peeve of mine :)

[stickfigureparades]

You are correct. It amuses me because I'm actually aware that "begging the question" and "raising a question" are two different things; I didn't even realize I misused it until I posted the video. Score one for colloquial usage, I guess... (-:

[Matinee909]

@goodqueenbess a pet peve of mine is the way some people think the 'rules' of the English language are there to be obeyed.

Since you knew how to 'correct' the discourse of the video you must have understood what the guy was trying to say, and so his use of the English language is perfectly fine.

But the phrase 'begs the question' doesn't even have an agreed upon standard meaning or 'proper use'. It's a metaphor and 'beg' is synonymous with 'raise' when you actually look at that metaphor.

[ILikeToHideStuff]

AMAZIING :DD

[DarkxAngel18]

rofl WTF ahahahaha

[SillyxJinyuu]

xD LOL
