MAKE 'EM LAUGH: Teh Internets | Dangers of the Web | PBS

[reasonformirrors]

Painfully unfunny.

[radicallyspalding]

@KomatiPoort - First of all, this is pretty goddamned hip for PBS. Secondly, it's PBS on YouTube- what, do you want your money back?

[mrsdulaney236]

?????

[EdgarMartinez]

Jean Ralphio what what

[Deluxe312]

PBS?

[Flappdude]

Oh, God... This is what happens when PBS who air documentaries and "civilized" television if you will, attempt urban, internet-humor. Fail.

[JamesiNeko]

I hope these people got paid a lot to humiliate themselves.

[NeoShadowX2000]

Lame.

[jpoolerdom]

the internet is NOT a series of tubes. the internet is a truck, and trucks can be very dangerous. a truck tried to "sext" me once, and i had to find an adult.

[GrimTheToad]

@jpoolerdom BUT WHO WAS PHONE?

[emperortomatoe]

You people aren't funny. but that shocked old woman is. to recap: your effort=fail old womans reality=winning

[shaneThomas2011]

@emperortomatoe that old woman was watching 2 girls 1 cup im pretty sure all old people would react the same way if they saw that

[Mistertbones]

Chelsea, stick to The World's Dumbest.

[Jacqueline7oX]

Hey! That's my grandmother! :D

[AmorDeLupus]

This is funny. You guys take this seriously?! This is called sarcastic humor.

If you don't get the humor, at least laugh at 0:34, lol.

[AmorDeLupus]

OMG This is so funny.

Oh... Wait...

If mom sees this she'll cut my internet off!!

NOT FUNNY THUMBS DOWN

i love sarcastic humor

[swami00]

chelseaaaaaaaaaaa

[1ninat0]

My record time on the internet is 6 hrs! ^_^

On a school night! hahaha

STFU!

[mrgamingdork]

ok i seriously want my 2 minutes back.

[Darthbelal]

Christ, they're making it sound like people are venturing into the Matrix when the log onto the 'net. Is Agent Smith waiting to kill someone if they're on Facebook too long or what?

These comedians tried to come off as funny and serious at the same time and failed spectacularly at both.

[elektrinate]

ive only been on Facebook for huuh 15 hours today, no biggie

i took a walk, I cleaned my kitchen I worked on a few industrial gothic songs here and there, danger of the internet comes around when your not afraid to type things like "IM GONNA STAB ALL MY HIGHSCHOOL HATERS IN THE FACE WITH A KNIFE" or "THAT GIRL IN LATEX JUST **&^%$ TO ANOUTHER GIRLS

=*&$# AND SQUIRTED *&@$!!"

[ericarocks2]

laugh with dellapeppo 'gas'

[TheHolyfuckinshit]

lol at the old lady watching 2 girls 1 cup

[XtremeHedgehog]

IMO These guys are giving a brief description of 4-chan and /b/.

Hey thumb me down if ya want but that's just how I see this video.

[zmandragon]

hey rules 1 and 2

[jdude907]

The irony being, I only just found this after several hours on the internet.

...And counting.

[moviedude22]

I was positive I'd get a laugh or two by watching this clip...I apparently don't know myself as well as I thought I did

[HolyGlucose]

i like the grandma's reaction to th two girls one cup thing........i don't blame her........

[brianmcc50]

That video was for PBS Make Em' Laugh special?

Did PBS look at this? Is this funny?

Am I using too many question marks?

[isthisit15]

someone play the Twilight zone music.

[ptrlapp]

Listen, this is as funny as PBS gets.

[wamphyriscurse]

You people are too frickin' harsh...this was hilarious. Look at it in a different light, and it's also.....informative

[8411184]

wtf

[eyaladrienn]

I'm with you on that...

[Ironzealot7531]

I give this a P for Phail

[grimtok]

splice this up, so it's just Chelsea, then reupload, and it would almost be watchable

[noticepair]

Chelsea looks like a human-female incarnation of Kermit the Frog.

[crikarika]

the only bit i laughed at was the old lady cos its her reaction to 2 girls one cup and its funny as helll haha

Hello:D

[KomatiPoort]

I found it ironic and amusing that though the series is entitled 'Make 'Em Laugh', I didn't laugh once.

[faithcraft]

mmmmmm... this suxs

[sidkun]

.-.

this wasn't funny.

whatever it's supposed to be, if it didn't even make me smile, it's not funny.

[poundz42]

Yeah, I didn't even crack a smile either. It supposed to be funny, but the humor was lost in the truthfulness of it.

[weedmanurfcharsi]

nice video...

[RedLetterMedia]

Don't get the humor, but I love Chelsey Peratti. Usually she's funny, but this is weird... she has a series where she interviews her exs which is quality.

[brace548]

PBS can never be funny >.>

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I can't wait for Dateline to start cracking down on some of these damn comedians.

[VAULT189]

PBS = FAIL

[FarrenfollowsBen]

wow this was not funny at all

[footstepshigh]

teh internets iz 4 PORN!! not sattirez!!

[Jeff85002]

It was funny, but only because I never noticed it was satire >_>

[Chick6517]

It&TBPSQUOs nice to see these kinds of videos on here. There&TBPSQUOs a lot of silly nonsense things all around youtube, but I&TBPSQUOm glad to watch things that actually have substance. haha!!

[Paratrooper177]

HAHAHA!! this was great! good job everyone!

[droidsondrugs]

this is not funny. i get that it is satire. it is still not funny.

[neil1337]

HOGGLE

[schmohly]

Hey, MORONS....it's a satire!!!!! What's wrong with this generation? Don't you know mild satire when you see it anymore, yeah, it's tripe, but I give them credit for the time, effort and format of the whole thing, it even fooled some of you boneheads....HA!

[stealthis]

was this supposed to be funny?

[vaughnscheunemann]

IDK but it was dumb...

[normalpsychology]

I agree with the two people below me.

[freaky666maggot]

I´ve wasted 2 minutes of my life watching this...

[RaiderOfChaos]

Yeah you could be wasting that 2 minutes on another video, on youtube no one has a life once you click that X on your web browser you get your life back so please don't complain about wasting your life when you have none on the internets

[MassDebatur]

and then you went ahead and commented wasting more time... don't get mad because you FAIL.

[Ben3156]

0:36 DON'T EVEN GO THERE.

[Ben3156]

0:36 OH MY GOD DON'T EVEN GO THERE!

[JackassBoy1337]

lol 0:37 that old woman is watching 2girls1cup. I can tell from the music

[ariannabanane]

Hm, the funny stopped after the 2 girls one cup music. :p Lame tbh.

[ilovedarladoo17]

Boring video. Come check out my Johnny Depp videos and you won't be bored.

[leeeerr]

cool shoes? those are crap shoes.

[SeaShel333]

I think there is a great deal of truth in this video. Nevermind the children, save the adults!! It has been my experience that people with busy, productive lives have no time for the internet, especially the propoganda and nonsense. For the most part, it is lonely people out there, passing the time. Sure, lots of "healthy" adults surf but their surfing is limited in time and in choice of sites. The title was only to get your attention and it worked, didn't it? Please do monitor your child!

[ScissorHand26]

I think it was supposed to be sarcastic actually.

[steele66]

Jenny Slat is hot, I love her commentary on those VH1 countdown shows.

[daveinoc]

That was comedy?

[xerichx07]

Masked as propaganda from PBS.

Not funny, 1/5

[sjon1234sjon]

american lowlevel comedy?

[daveinoc]

That was comedy?

[thepain93]

Wow this video is seriously misplaced.. COMEDY?

not even a smile =S 1/5

[wowdayandnight]

The sadest comidiean movie i've ever seen in my life...

[Focoist911]

very brilliant combat. And without guns. Well done.

[KosmoAntoninus]

Boring...

[wahsad75]

this video is awesome

[roller325]

This is just shit. They were going for comedy and FAILED!!

[langleyblom]

what a croc of shit

[abinoal]

"for depression" Then the make em laugh sign comes up.... wow....

[goliatmo]

As irony its not very funny, and as propaganda its creepy.

Fortunately, this lies in the twilight between these two,

and therefor becomes completely random!

I like random.

[honeymonster]

i think it a kind of realty...

[CreatorOfBoredom]

This video is a epic phail.

[tightbastard]

You are `Who` for depression?

[infynite706]

This is what happens when PBS....makes comedy.....*silence*

[BennyHintz]

This is from PBS? WTF? LOL! OK. YES.

[pedrodinizsousa]

Hi everybody, think of what Gaza children feel as they wake up every morning. Bye.

[DixieTango]

The only thing funny about this is all the comments from people who completely failed to get the joke.

[archivesbc]

DixieTango, I guess the problem is that PBS has been classified as "All Ages" since its inception. Its main purpose is to educate children and the youth.

The reason so many people get annoyed by something that SHOULD be funny (let's face it - they haven't taken the micky out of social networks or online chatting) is that PBS still has its authority in many people's (definitely Americans') eyes.

[LueLime]

lol! if anything is biased, this video is also biased. i'm on the internet since i was 14. i got addicted to games and the internet became my life.

enough of that said.

i still have my senses and proper awareness of the world. i got a descent job and i am influenced by the ppl around me and ofcourse i know not to trust the internet. i am also smart enough to know what's false and what's not. dont blame the internet. blame ur self on misjudging ppl that makes them down.

[ShutMeUpxProductions]

You do know this video is a ... joke, right? Because it is. You should be smart enough to know that Mr. Senses and Proper Awareness.

[pokerslut530]

ummmm wtf

2 star "comedy"

(not just 1 star only cuz the brunette was sort of cute.. SORT OF)

[TALLMATE73]

watch out kiddies the internet is here people need to chill the hell out everybody have a party citywide and if you dont come then move the hell away i mean really you see people all the time you know but dont know i know this guy but ive never met him but i know hiiiimmmmmmmm ya know what im saying

[1yK3Y4]

was that supposed to be funny? i'm not really sure b/c it's pbs. either way it wasn't funny

[tayloreh]

this all rings a little too true for me... seriously....

I want to stop! I keep pretending its easy to... but its not, really. Does anyone have any tips?

[DEO541]

O.O you got me

[BDrummen]

this was lame.

[ThisIsNotVincent]

some of these ppl I saw on college humor.

[Decaptor2]

Actually, most of the stuff they say in this video is true.

[Miracululz]

Epic fail

[Georgia4God]

Not very funny, but I guess it's a good message.

[alansmith717]

lol, come on guys; this is what you call dry humor.

[JustCallMeSoupLad]

so dry it's making me choke

[x0nickx0jonasx0hotti]

.....????

[Zatarus]

Weird, that was actually really scarry and dark humorish than actually funny...

[Lilmama03ongSm]

wtf, xD.. I've gone too far and I can't go back. O.O

[Lishy1]

I really don't know whether to take this video seriously or not. Some things are just plain silly XD

[KNOWSHON2424]

wtf

[arshsingh1984]

haha 2g1c

[tekkie2121]

not very funny..

[roadkill5555556]

wtf

[luv2bcrazy563]

haha

wtf?

[BMWBuyer15]

Chelesea's Hot

[weiirdgiirl]

Omg that was funnyy!!

Lolol!

[cyndisstuffonline]

Apparently just saying you're a comedian doesn't make you funny...meh.

[IceCool1991]

I it an interesting video.

I can't say that is a lie or something. It is a little exagerating the fact that you could talk with a terrorist on myspace or other websites.

[Denbalbino]

WTF happened on 0:10  ????

[BeautyIsTheCrime]

but the reality is the most of us are tucked in bed full of sadness

hahahah

[hiroguam]

or that and boredom

[Tashimaru987]

wtf

[Godgotron]

I hope they talk about The Dan & Scott Show. Milton Berle "pionner of TV" called them pioneers of comedy on the net.

I bet they wont even tho TIMES magazine did this story in 2000.

It was the biggest, funniest and most succesfull show on the Net for years. Founders of Broadcast Yourself in 1995 with pre-podcasting, 1996 the 1st Worldwide Interactive comedy talk show in streaming format years ahead of Xm & Sirius.

My channel is for this show.

You can download Archives and check Wikipedia.

[LemonadeSplash]

I would love to chat with a slut or someone with cool shoes... i'm just tucked into bed all day crying... =(

[madwan2]

suxxed

[nieckq]

yep

[ROBwithaB]

I have my reservations about your experiment. It is possible to over-analyze the phenomenon of humour.

Whilst it is possible to look at funny people and try to understand what it is that they are doing right, it is very difficult to extrapolate from that and understand why some people are NOT funny and what they might be able to do to BECOME funny.

Some people are just naturally funny. But usually it takes many years of practice. And a fucked-up childhood.

Let's not take humour too seriously.

[ROBwithaB]

What, exactly, was the point of this?

Seriously, am I just stupid and this was biting irony that went right over my head?

Was this supposed to be funny?

Sorry guys, maybe you need better material to work with.

In which case, good luck.

Or, I need a head transplant. In which case, wish me luck.

P.S. How much does it cost if you want YT to "promote" our video?

[DiiUiiB]

looooser...

the intro was boring and the hole video is pointless!!

[MidgardViking]

This clip just took a dive from the BUllshit tree...

[esbentind]

The intro promised more than what this video was, as it was not really funny. And i have to say, i highly disagree with the message. Internet has its bad parts, but so has life. Everyone can be a potential rapist/kidnapper/slut.

Internet helps people connect, and in the world of globalization, why would you force your kid not to see that there are countries beyond their own? There are a lot of grown ups out there, that don't know this yet.

[redmirrorproductions]

hmm there was a reference to 2 girls 1 cup what about disturbing things like that

[wanglaoliu6]

cao

[lifefortruth]

Thanks for making this vedio. this can be a good eye opener for parents out there.

[zamuraargh]

gimme sluts !!!

[chrismichael]

... wha? this isn't the PBS i remember

[luc59457]

The only word I liked in this whole video was "us". Think about it

[luc59457]

How about I give you a fake laugh. Just like your comedy LOLOLOL

[luc59457]

LMAO. Comment pending approval. Shows that they have to moderate the messages which hurt there money. And leave the BS which grabs others, which benifits them. Actually teach people big things. Lousy comedians. I bet they will not have even posted my comment before this one. Moderation = controllers.

[luc59457]

Great, this video just added to the BS that everyone should already know. Sounds like The comedians on here think we are all dead cells! I think they are the dead cells LMAO! Watch Peter Russell, he is a real comedian, not fakes. This was hardly funny at all, perhaps educational to the people who need it. I just had to critisize this +). It's needed! Nobody has!

[superbthegreat10]

lawl

[EconAtheist]

Heyyy... I think the guy @ the 0:25 mark did the first YearlyKos.

[adorianvlad]

Typical: "Don't look at them, look at us"

I would say, the biggest dangers are those media moguls that are trying to control the world through WMD type lies.

If you don't like youtube, you can f-off

[jayseanNO9]

i lqtm

[maluku77]

It could be a slut.... LMAO!!!

[digitalimpulse]

lol @ the old lady watching.. well you know what it is haha.

[tektive]

The sad thing is it's true lol! XD

[dymphnasis]

Funny!

[8H2324]

hahahaha its sooo true
