Rhetoric for kids~

[gbeck]

@TheRunescapeAddicted Again... check out the Patton Oswalt quote. He is referring to specific people who happen to be Armenian, anyway. You can jab your finger anywhere on a list of countries and find people who are backstabbers.

This video makes Rhetoric really easy to understand. Having to watch this for my English class at Auburn University Montgomery.

Is that System of a Down at the end?!

[gbeck]

@ItalianIce1228 haha, you watched 13 minutes of my insanity and that's the one thing on your mind? Well, yes. He is saying "goodbye" so i thought it'd be a good ending. In the words of Patton Oswalt: "Armenian Geniuses!"

College professors seem to like this video, I just had to watch it for my English class~

[gbeck]

@Anticanus What can I say? Sorry? I know it's silly. Hope you enjoyed it.

I made it for my University Rhetoric class back in the day and I loved the subject! Nothing better than knowing how and when people are trying to manipulate you. Very empowering.

lol good job

[kkaes1]

Well I liked it. My 5 yr old Grandson wanted to know what Rhetoric meant and I felt that my examples weren't that good. You might not have meant it for a 5 yr old but he liked this and has added a new word to his vocabulary. Thanks, it was cute. KK

all i see is spoken plagiarism with puppets..... and im an idiot.

[gbeck]

@AntiVenomFangX

Well, "spoken plagiarism" and self deprecation are both impressive uses of rhetoric, but I'm afraid you're wrong. I created every word of this through lots of ad lib, and by synthesizing the concepts I learned in my college rhetoric classover 4 years ago. the mountains, candy, bowling alley examples, all mine. The kids show format was loosely moedeled after Blue's Clues, or rather, my perception of it, since I've never seen a full episode.

I just made child and will be showing it/him/her this in the future! thankyou!

[Bassnoob21]

What is the music? Is that Mellotron I hear?

[gbeck]

I thought i put it on the credits...it's a song from the Playstation 2 game Katamaridamashii (塊魂)

[DagAreHalland]

Cool video ;)

The seatbelts - The real folk blues

"Naruto song" aswell. Cool project.

Do you know of any good sites I can find easy information on retoric? I'm doing a realy important (the main project) in english atm, where I am to write about Rhetoric

[Quickgate]

You want to hear the master of rhetoric? Just search for "PAT CONDELL".

[jugglefan4]

with a certain attitude this is super stupid and is made by a mentally retarded squirrel. with a different attitude you can learn a lot.

[fuzzyillumin]

I was assigned to watch this video as part of my European history class, I think I learnt alot.

[gbeck]

Wow! That's awesome. I made this very haphazordly (sp?) in my apartment by myself. You shouldn't take it too seriously, but the main message I wanted to convey is that rhetoric requires intent. Without intent, things are just things. Tell your teacher they're awesome!

[gbeck]

wow. I just checked back on this to find your comment. I hope this has helped you relieve some stress and become a happier person. Oh, and you're wrong. I'm very considerate!

[Garnetsigma]

You know, I actually use this to teach rhetoric to my students :)

[karolily]

You are SO FUNNY and good!!! You should be on a show, this is brilliant

[lilbrid2]

...are we reduced to this or am I missing something because I can read?

[acklord]

too much pseudo-psycho-pedagogical stuff, Sesame Street was far better

[macobyte]

And... Cocaine.

[togemon]

My comp theory professor sent us the link to this... funny stuff! I liked Quackers.

[cloak724]

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed watching your video. I was assigned to watch it and comment on it for my english class at ECU. At first I thought this was going to be boring and a waste of time, but I have been proven wrong. Your video was entertaining, and dare I say, I think I learned a thing or two about rhetoric as well.
