Giant Rats Infest Brooklyn!

[JayDaAsshole]

looks more like a rabbit

[kelaltieri]

Giant rats in Brooklyn? This is news? There have been giant rats in NYC since the beginning of the 1900's and earlier. Hellooo..

[Zeroes123]

Wait are they Turkish?

[kelaltieri]

@Zeroes123 Cenk Uygur is.

[Shadow7201]

we either need bigger rat trapps or braver cats

[TheDardanianKnight]

that not a "Gambian pouch or whatever" -its a brown (NYC) Rat.

I use to work in the meat packing district in

Down town manhattan... they were that big there too.

talk to anyone that's every worked for con-Ed, in down town newyork...

or whatch the episode of "Monsterquest", where they interviewed a guy who worked for con-Ed

[seppLange]

if i see a rat like that in my house i would set it on the neighbours fat kid

[GTYmassive]

if i see a rat like that in my house i would run.

[dindraug1]

It nor the period after someone my iPad screwed up the way I wrote it...

[dindraug1]

He stabbed it to death with a pitch fork? For someone. Living in New York what a red neck lolz

[qualqui]

well, these rats are way better to contend with than the present average two-legged rat existent in most governments of the world,....lol!!

[AlwaysBubblin]

Here's what I got for you bro, A FUCKING PITCHFORK. LOL

[MrCyrusRaps]

i saw one of these in the hood, word to my moms and shit..brooklyn all day

[singates19]

Giant Rats are supposed to be a mythical, urban legendary, and (former) cryptozoological creature. I've seen countless documentaries of experts ridiculing the witnesses. I was skeptical myself, even when people in my life told me about their existence, but they're REAL!!!

[TheWikitiki]

Ratticat fainted

(Pokemon theme song)

[ingosnow25]

Raccoons are not scary. I have a raccoon that comes to my porch to be fed every night. They are pretty much like ferrel cats.

[Zuluhn]

Rasta Producer

[shlurrpedy]

fair enough it's a bug rat..but did yi have to put the fork through it?? that's just cruel!

[shettry]

Obywatele obywatelki! Przyzywam was! :P

[Berus7777]

impaled on a pitchfork. Excellent. Someone finally understands what to do with a giant rat.

[1jasonfelan]

Actually, Gambian pouched rats are docile. That's why people have them as pets. Racoons don't make good pets because they retain their wildness.

[paulcadaver]

master splinter

[WalelaComics]

@paulcadaver

Master Splinter got his shit SPLINTED!

LOL.

[paulcadaver]

@WalelaComics Shredder got him.rip

[WalelaComics]

@paulcadaver That's funny.

[MrBumpers420]

ya they suck cock

[R0guef0rce]

@MrBumpers420 @MrBumpers420 I wish I hadn't clicked your name to see your channel, your favorites are some seriously disturbing shit. Sick fucking freak.

[Buttholeshiners]

FUCK THE YOUNG TURKS

[XxMrMinecraftGuyxX]

Lol I need to breed those for my snakes XD

[ZerqTM]

we need mudcraps and more wolfs and people jumping everyware they go now...

[xteric1]

giant rats would be easier to kill than millions of little ones

[KalidescopeKreations]

omgomgomg!! its so cute! awwwww

[pyrofella]

What was with the subtitles?>>>LOL

[SjaakTrekhaak033]

Why are American news reporters so fucked up? and why are they all wanna be so funny?

Jusdt teel the news and what you going to do about Giant rats, dont makes jokes about it. Tell the news and do you job fuckhead americans

[R0guef0rce]

@SjaakTrekhaak033 God you are a dumbass. Please don't have kids.

[SjaakTrekhaak033]

@R0guef0rce

Hahah ignorant American fuckhead. Please die slow and fast would you?

[GreenSaphir3]

If it ever does travel south and come to my hometown, I'll probably mistake it as a ferret (thanks to my bad eyesight) and take it home as a pet.

[disdudebbakapb]

holy shit i always thought da pitchfork was huge claws

[PungiFungi]

I think rats are cute. Last night in fact, I saw 5 of them scurrying around this trash can at a street corner, there was a couple standing right next to them, totally oblivious.

[Ilovecaptainjack224]

My GOD! I see five NORMAL sized rats, I'd get the f*** outta there. And I'd never fi'get about it.

[Speedracer7065]

A "Rat" with a "Pouch", is not a "Rat"; is an American Marsupial named "Opossum".

[justryandshutmeup]

When they get that big, they should get a license.

[Ollie9402]

Can anyone tell me what "Hello, good night" is?

[Ollie9402]

That rat looks cute. I want one.

[BillKiernan]

i would piss my pants if i saw those rats coming at me

[chocomintpaste]

@BillKiernan lol

[300tunes]

He said as if brooklyn didn't have enough rabbits.

[msgerto]

doesn't really look like a rat; need a better photo.

[deeppurple28]

The title mislead me, I thought this was going to be about Politic, Nevermind!

[victorwasright]

speaking as a new yorker, i'd rather have 50,000 giant rats here than 5 million small ones.

[sompret]

@victorwasright

Wait! What about the quest givers that ask you to kill X amount of giant rats?!

[AbonZel3]

What if the giant rat had sex with smaller rats? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way TYT reported it, the guy brought just one giant rat as a pet, and it escaped. It would seem to me that the giant rat was forced to breed with something else.

[TheJapeng]

Watch out for the Rats of Unusual Size!~

[OreoVII]

Last thing I wanted to say about how inhumane Cenks approval of murdering small animals appears. When Cenk was pretend holding up the dead rat imitating the black guy with a pitchfork, it instantly reminded me of Lynndie England, the women in those pictures from Abu Ghraib. "Don't like that other living organism? Torture it. Kill it. Be proud. Take a picture. Get Cenks approval."

[OreoVII]

It's sort of funny how black and white TYT is becoming. Myself I own rats, and they are nothing to be afraid of. A 'giant' rat is just a bigger, more docile rat. The bigger breeds of rats are actually even more calm and intelligent. TYT almost makes it seem like it's okay to kill animals. Hey, it's not a dog or a cat, so why not? Rats run when they see people. What about a wild dog, Cenk? Or a pack of street cats? Is it okay to kill them with pitchforks if they have diseases?

[LUVJONZ99]

I can't wait to show this to my other half (a very grown man) who freaks out when he sees a pray mantis.

[fakeadam19]

That was the greatest pronunciation of "Fuckin' pitchfork" I have ever heard.

[StevenBee2]

I'm on Ana's side here, for the most part. I've dealt with rats and I've dealt with raccoons. Rats are an annoyance that you can send flying with a good kick if they get too bold. A pissed off raccoon will fuck your shit up!

[Sibbot]

Brooklyn needs tigers!!! They will solve the giant rat infestation problems. No wait Mountain Lions, they are more likely to adjust to the local environment.

[jerman2003]

Rise of the Planet of the RATS!!!

[classasa]

BOO BAAAMMMM ,lololol

[dukenthaylor]

ICRAZIEST SHIT I EVER SAW IN NY: fixed camera shot showing an empty block corner...all of a sudden, enter bruh-man, stage left, into the corner scene. he quickly arrived at the block corner, turned wide-right, and was SPRINTING SCARED AS SHIT down the street (not for his life toward the camera (just LIKE Martin Lawrence in BAD BOYS!)...he was followed by this GREYHOUND-sized pack ot ANGRY rat muthas chasin' his ass along the curb! Shit looked like a horror movie, yo! But it was REAL!

[Udinbak]

Time to release ligers onto the streets of brooklin in order to bring the giant rat infestation under control.

[lilly8287]

we have rats like that here in ohio on the river been here for a very long timw

[weejockpoopongmcplop]

I hope they aren't planning to impale them all with pitchforks, it doesn't seem like a very humane way of dealing with the problem.

[TVZombie3000]

@weejockpoopongmcplop i agree. I am not in love with rats, but at the same time, I just hate murder of living creatures, no matter what they are, snakes, rats, or what have you

[LC1MNP1]

Black Death are spread by fleas. Those thin gloves isn't going to do anything at all.

[lukepleaseshutup]

1:36 Dramatic Cenk

[toaker]

A Fuken Pitchfork!

[MastermindX]

It will be epic when they have to fight the albino alligators over the dominion of the NYC sewers.

[DelinquentBilly]

That dude with the pitch fork is badass

[dharmaatdawn]

thank you Cenk, racoons are very cute. if u dont try to go after it they will stay away from you. Rats especially in this size. it looks like its a bigger then a cat

[FuturePants]

@dharmaatdawn Lies.

Raccoons are very territorial and juvinile raccoons get VERY mean. Most raccoons in urban environments have lost much of their fear of humans, and for good reason.

How do I know more than you? Well my dad had one as a pet for one, I grew up around rodents and small mammals as pets and I hate lies even just misinformation.

Rats are relatively harmless, in small numbers they are really just pests, Giant rats are not even so, they are HUGE targets for hawks, snakes etc.

[FuturePants]

@FuturePants What is going to happen, is that all the natural predators are going to target the giant rats because hey, why chase after a tiny fast snack when you can get a big fat bloated slow moving buffet?

The smaller rat's being left alone from predators while the giant rats get picked off is way more of a problem, because smaller rats multiply faster and are more likely to spread disease and ruin food.

Rats are pests just as much as raccoons, and people who feed raccoons make it worse.

[dharmaatdawn]

@FuturePants i live around raccons now. I feed them on the regular basis and not one tried to attack me. they go for food but will run if i make a noise if i feel they too close to me or their something i dont like about the situation. they very fun and cute to watch. i live in the woodsy area so i got to know many racoons. they get mean with each other sometimes. maube im being biased bc i like racoons and not rats. rats are rodens they not animals.

[FuturePants]

@dharmaatdawn "rats are not animals"

I don't need to respond to that... -_-

[dharmaatdawn]

@FuturePants i didnt say it corretly. i mean rats technically animals. I mean they are animals. but to me, they are just pests. I have sometimes food thats left over and i feed raccoons. We have to cooexist with them wether u wanna it or not. Id rather give them the food rather then sdispose of it. I have never seen such a giant rats so i assumed that they mutated to this form. thats why i freaked out. I have never seen a rat thats bigger then a cat. do u mind that it made me worried.

[ocabcabin7]

Love it when Ana wears TYT shirts

[TeHNyboR]

Anybody else think the rat had wings for a hot second before they realized it was impaled on a rake? Scary shit o.0

[MastermindX]

@TeHNyboR I thought it was a half-rat half-spider.

[mrxd17]

Ewwwwwww.

[joaonor]

Have problems with giant rats?

You need a giant cat!

(google serval)

BROOKLIN IS GONNA BE AWSOME!!!

[xmagicxx01]

I got one that lives in ma wall, hes about that size.

[lovecraftis]

Based on the title I was sure they were talking about the Right. Turns out they were only talking about Palin,Paul & Bachmann.

[bobbytiger]

From the title of the video, I was sure it had to do with the left-winged Unions.

How disappointing.

[fall4fellatio]

i wonder what glenn beck has to say abt this

[kandeesfan316]

That's so disgusting.. I would be really scared to see one of those..

[ExamineTheHorizon]

1:17 Cenk: "...A FUCKING PITCHFORK!!"

[PhillyKid07]

they r friendly tamed rats, dont compare it to your ghetto rats in america

[Turbine68]

@PhillyKid07 That's hilarious ghetto rats do they also squeak in Ebonics?

[masterkayaki]

"then you get half-giant sized rats." nice one cenk

[MaicoMoon]

That's a big bitch.

[dizzitoast]

Bam!!! A Fucken Pitch Fork! hahahahahah

[JUDALATION]

A Giant Rat Grows in Brooklyn.... I f you are a hot chick from Brooklyn who gets this joke, Im Me...

[crazzynez]

im confused, how did the giant rat that got loose reproduce? did it somehow do it with a little one?? did it have a partner that escaped with it?? did it do it with a small dog/possum/racoon/squirrel/any animal about the same size?? or was it already pregnant when it escaped???

[MastermindX]

@crazzynez It got wet and ate after midnight.

[Comsofficer]

*grabs longsword* ok time to play some D&D.

[Kingdom007Hearts]

here comes the new SyFy movie of the week. "Mega-Rats of Brooklyn" lol

[qu7aker]

Breaking News! "Brooklyn is infested with GIANT RATS!"

uhhh..ok...what else is new?

(Coming from someone who lives in Brooklyn)

[lilpoindexter]

Brooklyn and new york in general were already full of rats

[FuturePants]

Rats are just small rodents.

Raccoons are scavengers that dig through garbage and pick up diseases from said garbage and they do not fear humans.

Rats are scared of us, I had a raccoon waltzes up to my cat's food and start eating while I was 3 feet away.

He was just like "yeah I am a raccoon, nice place ya got here bro"

Yeah rats are unsanitary in the wild but as a pet they are just as "unusual crazy strange" etc as a fucking guinea pig.

At least rat's were not bred specifically for food.

[FormerlyKnownAsNopez]

@FuturePants

Thank you, brother, for the courageous defense of rats. :)

Not saying you are wrong, but ... :)

[FuturePants]

@FormerlyKnownAsNopez I just hate when people spread lies.

Like rats are gross, or ferret's stink when neutured and de-scented, which is bullshit.

Or alcohol kills brain cells, or that rabbits don't eat meat, (they specifically seek out and eat root's and veggies with grubs in them for the protein they need and can't get from greens)

Or that evolution is wrong, Hitler was an atheist etc.

Though some misinformation is less important I just get OCD about it.

[skategeezer99]

Apparently this rat has taken over the Florida Key. And also they can smell tuberculosis and detect land mines.

[skategeezer99]

Apparently this rat has taken over the Florida Keys then moved to New York.

[skategeezer99]

I have seen bigger rats in Singapore.

[psychokillercrab]

Shut up Ana Racoons are good animals Rats aren't!

[psychokillercrab]

They have these rats in southern Ohio. They are super creepy

[canucksfan94]

Life finds a way!

[zaggers77]

A Raccon would fuck up a rat.

[bballadante]

Ana to Cenk:

"You're getting me a little excited."

Win.

[vpsaline]

This is why I own 4 shotguns...in case of zombie rats!

[trscott1975]

I don't appreciate them killing Master Splinter...What are the teenage mutant ninja turtles to do!!

[highflyer4]

raccoons are dangerous and aggressive as hell wtf are you smoking Cenk? They are also known to carry rabies which is potentially deadly if you get bitten.,

[SniperRankings]

i live in the suburbs on NYC i never had rats, but i mean FUCKK

[rifter0x0000]

"Evolution kick?" What has Jayar been smoking? How is an invasive species a refutation of evolution? I thought he had a degree or something.

[evilyakko]

The picture is misleading, hes holding it out on the fork in front of him so it appears larger.

it looks to be more the size of a male domestic fancy rat.

lastly, its white.. there are no white wild rats, and that is NOT a Gambian pouched rat.

[RAMKING61]

Ana has NOT been asked to host 'Wild, Wild World of Animals'.

[ThrashAD720]

They Killed MASTER SPLINTER!

[yuukisama2001]

This is the reason WHY you DON'T import exotic pets. We already got are giant rats here, we don't need the docile giant rat from Africa here. Those giant rats are used in villages to sniff out landmines that have been left over from war torn areas.

[jellyfishnoname]

They Killed MASTER SPLINTER!

[bahamn15]

@jellyfishnoname YEAH AND NOW TMNT ARE PISSED AND WANT REVENGE!

[rottweiller1]

@jellyfishnoname

Leonardo: DAMN YOU BROOKLYNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!­!

[kathrynsue1986]

I dont like raccoons either

[DgraymanKicksAss]

@GJNCA your a moron, rats are infested with diseases and need to fuck off. It's idiots like you who contribute to these kind of infestations with your hippy attitude.

[gelfling567]

Cute! Can we domesticate them? You kidding there are plenty of giant rats in Brooklyn! If they have pouches they could me marsupial hybrids. Don't kill them!

[gelfling567]

Cute! Can we domesticate them?

[magustx]

this is so tragic... celebrating the murdering of such a majestic and proud animal...

[paladinvince]

ill indeed except your quest to slay your rat infestation to two shillings and a barrel of mead

[Ojin0]

The fuck? Was that a pokemon?

"Eight of them came out at the same time, and bum rushed a childrens' playground"

Haha

[masticina]

R.O.U.S.

Ah yes pouched rats.. smart animals like any rat is smart. Pretty hard to beat once they are out!

[437thx1138]

You guys are getting funny lately. I love it.

[nataniellek]

thas some gud eatin.

[aaronpolitical]

Aww, we don't know he killed it with the pitchfork like that. He's just PICKING IT UP with the pitchfork. Calm down.

[dixielatino]

Invasion of the giant rats,6 coming to ur Hood in Bklyn.

[RayWilliamJohnstud]

we got possums here, they look just like giant rats

[priscamolotsi]

This is really horrid...I would have just fainted in fright! Rats have been known to gnaw on babies toes and ears. Nasty, disease-carrying rodents!

[Tokoroegao]

Seriously if 1 Gambian rat came out - how would it reproduce?

[soundslave]

I laughed when they said 'pouch'. That word cracked me up, I don't know why.

[FuckYouLetMeLogIn]

Aw rats!

[havenomouth]

These rats have been pouched to near extinction and need to be protected!!! They need to round them up and take them back to the Fire Swamp so they can procreate in their natural environment. No joke.

[averagecitykid]

@OrbitFigher hahaha nice!!

[TheWingflyer]

Approach a raccoon and see how friendly it is.

I dare you.

LOL!!! They're mean.

[RDBeatnik]

"Giant Rats Infest Brooklyn"

I thought they were talking about hipsters.

[Nayr747]

You know what else is "infested with diseases"? HUMANS. You are much more likely to catch a disease from a person than from any rat, pigeon, etc. People (Anna, Cenk, others) are just too stupid to think for themselves sometimes.

[noliesundead]

@Nayr747 yes, because it was humans that spread the black plague, not the rats

[Nayr747]

@noliesundead Rats probably did spread the black plague, but it was only because they carried fleas that had the plague bacteria. Nonetheless, you are still much more likely to catch a disease from a human than from a rat.

[sfiatoa55]

Medium sized rats!! Lol. It must be fun working there.

[OrbitFighter]

i always knew dick cheney was an animorph..... we finally got him

[hardyk1]

dat look lyke gyant mouse!!!!!!! ARRRRGGGGGGGG! how big is da mouse? look lyk gyiant hungarian mouse!!!!!!!!!!! EWWWWWWW gross. Is a vary big mouse frum Skopje!!!

[MyTheDarkKnight]

possums bro, outside my garden

[ahersheykisses]

OMG They're adorable!!!

[rania3830]

::goes to cancel trip to Brooklyn.::

[BurnRoddy]

OMG this is a M A J O R opportunity!

Imagine in the future people won't have to drive cars. Forget flying cars-

-What?...Oil war? Lol that's ancient history we ride on rats that unlike horses eat whatever it is that you feed them with. Right buddy...? Hi-yo Lester!!

[MavenCree]

Somebody find Mr Burns. Ask him a few questions...

[FoxNewsFanatic4Life]

There goes Uygur again with his BULLSHIT EVOLUTION FAIRY TALE. These giant rats are a MESSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST HERSELF that New York needs to STOP DISOBEYING THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR and Repent before the Rapture comes in October.

You have been served and ice-cold glass of REALITY JUICE!

YEAH!

[FarUnlitUnknown]

*ahem* According to Wikipedia:

1. These things can get up to 3 feet long

2. They were banned as pets in the US from 2003 to 2008 because they were spreading disease.

I'm glad I don't live in Brooklyn.

[PeterjohnsonLAWL]

Someone needs to make a vid. where a bunch of rats run out of no where (in Brooklyn), and then like 4 black dudes pull out there guns and just start shooting the shit out of them.

[tishaschwanger]

Lol racoons are mean as hell and carry all kinds of disease and parasites-notably infamous for carrying rabies (at least in my state). Obviously not one of them ever happened upon a racoon in the wild, especially a mother protecting her young. RUN-you've been warned.

[tmagdahl]

I am missing the story of the first female native rat getting raped by this monster! Ouch!

[southrules]

Forget the size of the rat, look at that giant pitchfork!
