  • This has me howling every single time.

  • all i need to say is

    nice work skism

  • @SKVViDD skism sent me here

  • The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves, oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality, they sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waist bands below their balls, they babble into hand held twit machines about that cool email of the woman being bummed by a wolf, their cool friend made it, He's an idiot too, welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots.

  • Simply ugly clothing does not make a person a hipster...

  • that guy is nice looking, handsome. i agree about the idiots. The invention of the cell phone certainly didn't help..and wtf is texting all about? leave a f'n message with your voice, better yet,,run over it with your car.

  • It's nothing much to do with the clothes, these people wouid be OK if they had some kind of definite ethical agenda or worldview, not just trendsurfing. I'm a 60 year old who remembers the hippies they [we] looked liked idiots too, but we weren't particularly vain or self-obsessed and we wanted things to change. Watch out at St Pauls, it's coming back, hooray for that.

  • @hughbarnard1 You did a great job fucking the Western world up. Look at the 0-in chief "panther" in office now, and the hordes of illegal invaders from 3rd world < IQ 80 shitholes flooding out country and cretin-izing our gene pool. Excellent work. I am a 39 year-old on Wall Street and I regularly have police come to my building and order hippie scum who play drums and guitars at night to stop. Only to hear them scream at the cops about how they are "New York city teachers" & have rights. DIE.

  • @megamillionfreak such a sweetie, he really needs a hug doesn't he?

  • @megamillionfreak You sir, are a twazzock and will get old one day. I hope you still have your millions to ensure you do not end up in a care home being mistreated, disrespected and forced to listen to Val Doonican and watching crappy TV as you wonder what happened. I hope you never get ill with something awful or lose that wonderful Wall Street job and have to deal with the reality that is the the real world for millions. Please enjoy your privilages to the max before the world changes.

  • Close-up: Zoobombing in Portland, Oregon look this up thought i was watching barley

  • Ashcroft called it.

  • So these idiots, and I agree they are idiots, should stick to sporting mohawks and making collage flyers?

  • 0:04-0:07 is that muff?

  • @joope666 That is indeed a healthy bush of cultivated, English muff.

  • When idiots look at idiots laughting at themself understandning that society has become idiots but not really themselfs, its a bit wierd. Its like monkeys looking on other monkeys at the zoo going "damm monkeys!".

  • Does anyone know where i could get the soundtrack to this show? It's sooo good! Brilliant show too. One of my faves.

  • Hail the Rise of the Idiots!!!

  • Most things Chris Morris has been involved in have been alarmingly prophetic.

  • @annedrodgyness This is because Morris is actually a time-traveller.

  • The first time I saw this, it literally scared me. Mainly because this is now more fact than fiction.

  • Look at me! I'm an attention whore!

  • Thing is.... Morris makes us just like 'these idiots' by getting us to be fans of Nathan Barley.

  • Did chris morries predict the future, or direct it?

  • YES!! MY TIME HAS FINALLY COME!!!!

  • I used to think Morris wrote this bit too, but I think this sounds more like his co-writer Charlie Brooker. Morris isn't as inclined to a direct rant like this. A rant I completely agree with, by the way.

  • @bertiedump Oh, shut up. Stick to listening to Radiohead.

  • 26 people are idiots

  • THis guy needs his own tv show

  • @rhodes1986 er, it is from 'nathan barley', a tv show from a few years back...

  • my friend said he hates this " crowd" yet, he is a hipster??

    DJ type, wears jeans below his arse, criticises anything that gets too poplar. Listens to shite bleepy music.

    have hipsters started hating hipsters in order to become more underground but in the process ended up becoming more hipsterish and thus try to distance themselves from the now allmost mainstream hipsters by hating on what is esentially them?

    Modern culture confuses me.

  • @redman8903 Hipsters will never admit to being hipsters. You'll often hear them say "Look at that fucking hipster" when they see a hipster.

  • @redman8903 How about people should stop bloody stereotyping, especially your friends?

  • @redman8903 'Hipsterness' is bound to go one way - back to appearing 'normal', because the label/appearance of hipsterness is uncool and therefore something the hipster wants to avoid. Plus, immersing oneself in conformist/'normal' chique is so out there, so uncool within this 'cool' demographic, that it is rebellious to do such a thing, and therefore cool.

    So, in summary, to appear uncool is cool, for a hipster.

    My head hurts.

  • @roryphelan

    But then, if being labelled a hipster is deemed uncool,

    wouldn't a hipster want to be a hipster?

    My head hurts.

  • @redman8903 Too Hip to Hipster.

    

  • @redman8903 nope. Your friend is doing it because he likes it. The people who piss him of are the ones who try way too hard to be cool and edgy and hipster.

    There is a difference between "indie" and "independent". Trust me.

  • Give it 10 years, the 2005 school of Idiots will all be in the Cabinet- or at least 'advising' them on the equivalent of £200k pa out of the public purse.

  • Read this blog "Ich werde ein Berliner" ..written in English, picks up where Nathan Barley ended, hella funny cause it's so true it hurts.

  • Look up the song 'Being a Dickhead's cool'. it is nathan barley in song form.

  • Hipsters are just the recent equivalent of beatniks, whom were another group that simply took on the superficial characteristics of real creative and revolutionary people.

    Social groups aren't the problem though, unwarranted self-importance is the real issue, whether you're a hipster or not.

  • @M1s7erH Certainly not the equivalent of beatniks.... what a misinformed statement

  • it's more than just hipsters. look at kids who idolize the jersey shore cast. women who religiously watch the real housewives. it's a commentary on technology and "progression" as a whole, and how society is actually becoming dumber than smarter.

  • The whole point of this show is that while Ashcroft rails against these "idiots'' and hates everything they stand for, he is the biggest idiot of them all. With his pretentious, snobby and holier than thou attitude, he is no better than the people he spends the entire series bemoaning and he realizes it at the end of the show.

  • @dreamesque88 Nah, he's better, but still an idiot.

  • Countless generations have felt the same, labelling there own and the next a group of idiots. Time hasn't changed anything, nor has each generation that's largely filled with idiots.

  • @MrAnonUK

    The only difference is that with the internet and the easy access of drugs, the idiots can go further down a spiral of "edginess", bravado, entitlement, sexuality, and material without any fear of change coming from the always intellectual minority.

    You're either a cynic or an idiot nowadays.

  • this is exactly how i feel when driving around los angeles...

  • Unfortunately, now enjoying the comedy of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt is considered hipsterish behaviour according to the 'other idiots' who enjoy co-opting the word to describe anyone who doesn't like Oasis, U2 or Coldplay or still uses a film camera and has an otherwise inoffensive collection of vinyl.

  • I find Brits so much more refreshingly honest than Americans. People here actually respect these hipster fucktards and take them seriously.

  • i love this man

  • This show was so ahead of its time

  • You all should see what they've done to New Orleans. It seems they're "found" every charming city in the country to use as a backdrop for their antics.

  • He should have at least included some of those people who walk around in Dungeons and Dragons costumes and the comic book nerds. They're idiots too. Teatards, also.

  • Indeed ClickClackClickClack, after watching Barley in 2005 I thought it was gonna put an end to all this nonsense once and for all, but it seems that 5 years down the line the 'idiot' problem is now 50 times worse!!

  • Remember this is early 2005. Before Youtube, before widespread smartphones, before MySpace and Facebook really taking off.

    Whatever Dan Ashcroft is railing against, has EXPLODED.

  • @ClickClackClickClack I know... I didn't actually get Nathan Barley when it came out. I didn't understand what it was meant to represent. It's prophetic.

  • @ClickClackClickClack Yeah, sadly...the show is also loved by the eejits...because it's ironic an' that...yeah?

  • There must be somewhere in London that won't stand for it? But then I thought Hackney would be safe.....

    Deptford? Tower Hamlets?

  • hand held twit machines

  • @russelledwards001 Twitter?

  • Die hipsters, DIE!!!!

  • its howard moon!

  • i think the idiot class describes a lot more than hipsters. idiots come in all shapes and sizes

  • Comment removed

  • Watch this video to see the hipsters(idiots) we have here in the states...

    /watch?v=I9lmvX00TLY

    Fucking balls.

  • @Ievolovel Saw that video yesterday, made me rage a lot. There is no fucking hope for us any more.

  • Every film from England looks so modern to me, even when I watch ' About a Boy' that was from 2003 or so it still looks so sleek. Love British everything. :)

  • "Action on Smoking and Health" tells us that a 30-year-old smoker can expect to live about 35 more years, whereas a 30-year-old nonsmoker can expect to live 53 more years.

  • @Hadesofthe07 thanks dad. 

  • @Hadesofthe07

    Is life after 65 worth living? Just playing devil's advocate...

  • @oFISHnCHIPSo Some people seem to think it is. So why not allow yourself to choose once you reach that age rather than to have your choice already made by your previous actions.

  • the idiots are winning and have now moved from hoxton to dalston. moving further into clapton, too.

    they really annoy me with their rolled up at the bottom skinny trousers, ill fitting shirts, turdy beards, crappy haircuts, posh accents. dear oh dear. don't they realise how stupid they look!?!

  • DROP skism

  • Dan Ashcroft was the biggest idiot of them all.

  • Lot of people taking this quite serioiusly. I thought it was a comedy?

  • @GuntherVonVon it should be taken seriously. people need to wake up & smell the gravy.

  • When I was watching Glastonbury on the box, and the camera panned over the crowd. I could hear Dan Ashcroft saying this in my head.

  • Yeah they're muppets and everything and it's frustrating to watch these clowns but at least they're f*cking funny to watch! Very good entertainment...

  • I'm currently studying a graphic design, and I tell you I am sick of people like this, this is the kind of people i have had to put up with for 3 years, I'm sick of the bullshit, everything original now is a load of old bollocks and it seems everyone just laps it up. Anyone know what I mean? Lets have a chat

  • "Oblivious to the paradox of their uniformed individuality"

    Now that is a great line !

  • @proteoid I was just thinking that. Ironically, I could imagine it being on a t-shirt which would then be worn by the idiots and hipsters.

  • Unfortunately, the only thing immortal about the human race is stupidity.

    H.L. Mencken's line about "nobody ever lost any money underestimating the taste of the American public" is spot on, but it's not like the U.S. is the only place where you can see that level of idiocy exhibited.

    The main difference is that the media, video cameras and the like are much more present than they used to be than when I was growing up (I was born in the late 1950's), so you just see more horseshit now.

  • skism

  • welcome to 2010. i guess satire is dead.

  • really........I thought he was just describing Americans.

  • Comment removed

  • @Pyrus83

    I can't think of any way to reply. I like this video, but that comment is always there o ruin it.

    So, instead of wasting any more time having your stupidity ruin my enjoyment, have a hearty glass of Fuck You, a roasted Fuck Off, Dick, with a side of Go Fuck Yourself. Enjoy, it's on me.

  • And I forgot to mention, yes, I think the idiots are idiots!

    Just because I join them doesn't make me one. Have you ever heard of a wolf in sheep's clothing?

    It's all in fun. Imitation is a great form of mockery.

    Lighten up! It is the Age of the Idiots, after all.

    Wow, I'm such a hypocrite today. :]

  • When Channel 4 announced that it would be cancelling Big Brother after this year I thought for a brief happy moment that the idiots might be on the wane. But I suspect that the media will find other ways to recruit talentless twats and inflict their dreary twaddle on us. And Radio 1 keeps renewing Chris Moyles contract. Keep it foolish, BBC.

  • To be perfectly honest, at this moment in time, I think I'd rather be an idiot, be a part of some kind of change, no matter how dumb, rather than the countless people of every generation, day, or year that stand by, smiling at each other, making comments about their inferiority.

    But this sure was funny.

  • riiiiight being an idiot is being part of a change? So following masses who don't think for themselves and rather rely on youtube,TV and MSM is being a part of true change? Good luck with that, idiot

  • @canadiensfan66

    From one of the points of view I was coming from, there really is no "change". There are always "idiots", and the people who are better than the "idiots".

    Nobody wants to be an idiot, apparently, so I just decided to outright join them.

    And -- I meant there are people like you laughing at other people. I decided to be one of the other people. Like I said "no matter how dumb".

    No law says I have to go the boring, tired route of smirking and feeling superior.

  • this is the greatest show ever created!

  • it was great wasnt it :)

  • Sadly, the 'idiots' featured on Nathan Barley no longer come across as satirical exaggerations. They really are everywhere.

    Am I coming across as senile? Uh oh.

  • @DarioBattisti

    Never a truer word said - idiocy is now in abundance and the sad fact of it is that if you preach you get taken down to their level - better to keep schtuum and laugh at the muppets.

  • @DarioBattisti Senile ? More like, realisic .... Or is that the new senile ?

  • Peace and Fucking yeah? Laterz.

  • lol look at the sign behind that guy

    "Abort Tom" and its YOU

  • @condorX2 it actually says "Aborted Tom"

  • Sing on Preacherman.

  • HOWARD MOON!!!!!

  • cool!

    Just search for "above rise of the idiots" on youtube. 3rd hit is another tribute song!

  • Ha Ha sweet. this is sampled on Skism - rise of the idiots. Dubstep track.

  • So true!

  • WORLD OF HIPSTERS

  • it happening now.

  • It happened.. past tense.

    Just remember: it's never to late to stop being an idiot. Visit your nearest 9/11 video for more information and help.

  • the guy on the little bike at 0:28 cracks me up every single time!

  • i live in brighton & i see guys ridin bikes close to that daily, lol.. oh dear.

  • I was in Hoxton today to go to Film London...and everyone looked just like that!

  • Hoxton, Shoreditch, Dalston. It's hilarious, isn't it?

  • nathan barley is a mind boggling piece of comedy!! brilliant writing! ... totally fucking mexico man...

  • Some twats deserve it.

  • Holy shit, he's describing what what Americans call Hipsters, in 2005 before the term was really mainstream.

  • what what

  • @ClickClackClickClack Which is the only time I liked the term. It's too mainstream now. ;)

  • @ClickClackClickClack What's the mainstream status of the term got to do with anything in the video? Hipsters have been around since the 90's.

  • @ClickClackClickClack @ClickClackClickClack What's the mainstream status of the term got to do with anything in the video? It's not mentioned. Hipsters have been around since the 90's.

  • This generation has been referred to as the dumbest generation. I tend to agree. As a manager, I have these idiots working for me experiencing difficulty with the simplest aspects of job they are doing. Simple things like getting there on time 2 days in a row or sending 50 emails a day to their friends talking about what boy they want to fellate this weekend. The world's in trouble.

  • They may be idiots, but dare I ask, are you not also an idiot for hiring them?...

  • epiphany: Don't always have a choice. I try my best to keep the under 30 crowd to a minimum.

  • the sad thing is... its all true.... all the people i know in my year level are complete wankers that have no clue about anything and would be doing the community and huge service if they took a gun to their own heads

  • Ashcroft is just as much a loser as the idiots in the end. We're all idiots

  • brilliant

  • sooo good. i lov this show

  • rofl

  • 0:20 lol

  • So basically we are fucked ? Whether we deride them or not we are fucked ?

    Im going to walk around in a bag of my own shat.

  • that sweatshirt on 0:32 is dope

  • Great video. Love the comments on this, read em all haha.

  • you ever drink baileys from a shoe?

  • smooth, creamy.

  • Only once.

  • i'm old greg

  • No, idiot

  • You should be thanking idiots, it's there sociological and intellectual sacrifices that paved the way for your bloated arrogance.

    The god fearing slaves and the pacified will forever be the backbone to our entertainment and exploitation.

    Rise of the idiots indeed.

  • Comment removed

  • howard moon?

  • you mean dan ashcroft.

  • Idiots...They win more Darwin awards.

  • smoking is for idiots, how about that

  • you're an idiot.

  • you don't really get nuance...do you?

  • whats idiotic is thinking that you have so much control over you life that u will live long enough to die from a smoking related illness.

  • eh? whats the life expectancy where you are? 81 where i am...

  • I never spoke about dying from it

  • my opinion?

    the concepts from the time machine are happening.......as in we are witnessing the split between the intelligent and the not-so

    YESSS

  • Yeah - my local library got rid of a load of books because they were "old" .....now there's an hour wait to use the computers....information highway indeed

  • @wailin1967 Got the same problem our way. Some fucknut in the in an office decided a nine foot high pile of cast iron reef-knots on a corner constituted "art", inducing a welcoming "vibe" (he really said that. that word. that one. vibe. cock.) to the town. Meanwhile, 2 thirds of the library is given over to an empty space. Well fucking futile indeed.

  • I'M OLD GREGG!!!

  • I won't marry you.

  • Idiots have been on the rise for tens of thousands of years.  They will continue to be on the rise for tens of thousands more. Simply ignore them.

  • Here's the bottom line. Hipsters are full of shit. Yes. but they get laid. The choice? Conform and get SOME or rebel and be a lonely krank. I know..I'm the lonely krank.

  • Same here.

    Ignorance is bliss...

    :(

  • They get laid by some pretty dumb looking chicks. I regret every time I've given a hipster girl a second look, hoping she'd be easy because she dresses horribly. I have a feeling, most hipster girls are as bad at sex as they are at getting dressed.

  • The champions of ignorance shall inherit the earth.

  • Idiocracy!!!! Welcome to costco I love you.

  • Wow, drama queen.

  • I'll take a pop-culture where idiots pretend to be "counterculture" non-conformists over a pop-culture of rampant consumerism anyday. Yes, it may be hypocritical to go around acting like you're just rebelling against society when you are only doing it to "fit in" with the hip crowd, but I'd much rather hand out with the bearded guy wearing ironic t-shirts and second hand "chuck taylor's" than the douch-bag

  • Comment removed

  • But aren't they both douche bags?

  • yes

    except the asshole counerculturalist thinks he's doing it for a greater reason... a greater air of self entitlement.....

  • I agree, this generation = rise of idiots.

  • So says the dude who looks like every other tool at a bar drinking overpriced coffee from a coffee shop.  Yeah, he's not an "idiot."
