  • im drunk now and aa is full of dope addicts selling drugs...bill w. made a pass at my mother he was the real whore

  • I will say that some of what people in this video are talking about can be very true. If people just use AA meetings as a place to hide from alcohol then they are often pretty unhappy and not pleasant to be around. AA meetings aren`t the program, the 12 steps are the program and when you really do them you don`t end up as pissy boring loser.

  • @al962258 they are a bunch of drunk losers and all these other bitches complaining about getting molested by their father!1 guess what? it's called DARWIN you crybabies

  • David knows how to get a party started!!

  • I just went back to AA and I find this hilarious! I am enjoying the meetings, and the sad thing is I have known people that do act like they are talking about. Calling people drunk at 2AM-LOL. Colt 45-UUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH....nasty stuff:)

  • lol

  • Colt 45 @2:32 lol

  • This is so funny cause AA really does make people lame as fuck. All they ever want to do is go to those friggin meetings every night. They're like a cult. Hanging out with those people for an hour every day would make me want to drink.

  • reminds me of when i stopped drinking xD my fiancee was like, ok, dont go back to going through a 26er and a 6 pack a night, but seriously, just drink with me!!! your so pissy when you cant drink!

  • they need to make a two thumbs up button for this video omfg this is funny.

  • I love it when trolls run the mouth or fingers in this case about shit they do not know anything about. And yes i am belabouring the obvious, cuz thats what it's there for. If i belaboured the subtle i'd leave people slack jawed and drooling.

  • This is funny shit! And yes i'm an a.a. member. Message to other members. Don't take yourself to seriously! It's a fucking parody! A joke. Ha Ha

  • Fuck you shootlady357, study why people have to go to AA then come back. This video is terrible and destructive.

  • AA is full of boot nazi loser scum. i hope they all go get drunk. bill w. made millions from his lousy book and these drunk should go kill themselves and save us all money... shithead loser scum drunks. I LOVE THIS VID!

  • @shootlady357 What AA meeting did YOU attend???;-)

  • As an AA member i deem this video funny as shit. I think everyone needs to lighten up and realize that this is the onion. AA works and will be ruining 2AM drunk dials forever.

  • @al962258 I just went back to the meetings and I was laughing my ass off at this. Sad thing is when we see people in meetings who are not happy sober.

  • Will Clifford Banes ever be on here?

  • lol this is really funny! and im in it. love it, thanks a lot!

  • Stop Drinkin' and Start Trippin'

  • That's really funny Scienceguy,that's one thing that I have never been called.Ignorance is bliss .I'll have to remember that the next time I'm using hand tools ,so that I don't stpidly cut off any appendidge's.(you do know what that is right?)

  • @randala551 Your comment displays the greatest of social ironies.

    Newsflash: ITS THE ONION

  • @Keinlicht ,you can peel it back as many times as you like and it still remains the most successful fellowship in the world.I am living proof of that.

  • ,I guess she would rather have her father ringing the doorbell at 3 AM because he's drunk and can't find his keys,or better yet ,getting a call from the police saying that your dad is in jail because he just killed a person with his car .OOOPS,no more dad! The other one's wife is probobly an alchoholic and was resentful of her husband for being sober.Nobody in AA ever told me that I can't go to a bar or party with friends or family,all they said was don't drink and you won't get drunk!

  • @randala551 You're fucking stupid so.

  • @randala551 oh my youre a complete idiot. is there really people that watch this and think its true lmao

  • Lol

  • Lol,,, it's a parody people!! Very funny!

  • going to aa makes me want to get shit faced...lol

  • i go to aa every week and it feels like going to church, sucks!

  • Are you allowed to join AA if you're not Christian?

  • @whyme943 AA tries to recruit members from all races and creeds. It is, most definitely, a cult.

    So, you can attend AA or be forced to even if you're not Christian.

  • @TheRojo387 A.A. doe's not recruit anyone. There is some good news and some bad news some would say about A.A. The good news is there is help for people that have a desire to stop drinking as in a problem that centers in the mind as it did in mine...The bad news is we are it.Thru going to the fellowship I fought and could find fault in everyone most everything about A.A (except me of course I was like Bullwinkle thought I knew it all) and Amazingly a speaker that I could relate to.

  • @Garyssober1 He made me smile in his story about How it was for him (He joined the marine corps cause he wanted to kill people because they are ignorant) what happened he addmitted he had no power to change himself and his life was not being managed well and needed help that he had a problem that centered between his ears. Hein A.A. found that there is a solution in chapter 4 of the Big Book of Alcoholic's Anonomous the How and Why of it in chapter5 and what keeps it working in 7gw

  • @whyme943 The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking...

  • Dudes, I'm in AA & I think this is hilarious. It's a joke!! Sheesh!

  • Hahah! Awesome. This must hurt a lot of the people who manifest their ego through A.A or N.A.

  • This video and the people who made it are stupid - haven't you got anything better to do??

  • I just watched this video and it is so twisted from the truth of what A.A. is about I look forward to the day that those who put on this video come crawling into A.A. looking for the help it takes to overcome true alcoholism. May you all be blessed by God with it for your mocking a society that helps others overcome the insanity and pardon me if I laugh while you are mumbling and shitting your pants in a drunken stuper if God so grant it. We will laugh together then.gw/Faithful/True tc lmao

  • @Garyssober1 You're the person this video was talking about. You're a boring sanctimonious husk.

  • @Ladiestreat Your funny lmao you don't know me and your a freaking idiot to say what you did to someone you don't know! Therefore I need not say more..........

  • @Garyssober1 : Dude it's a joke!

  • @Garyssober1 Hey moron tis a joke and anyone who had truly suffered the swings of alcohol abuse themselves or by a family member would never wish it on anyone,. STFU and get a life.

  • @Garyssober1 Keep on riding that self-loathing train buddy.

  • If you critisize A.A. before throughly investigating it please give attention to the last sentence in Spiritual Experience from the bb, “There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.” ...May God bless you and keep you - until then.

  • @Garyssober1 God is worthless and does not help, self control is something we all have but it's a matter of will power, can you believe in yourself enough to overcome the weakness you have. Faith should be put in yourself and if needed your family/friends that help you.

    Addiction is really a mental game, because if you don't think you can overcome it you never will. Addiction has to be stopped by you only or else you can revert right back into whatever because you still want it.

  • @TheSolitaryTraveller Actually, if you simply change your Karma(which is what causes choice and action) then your perceived "self will" will automatically change as there is no such thing as self will, just the manifestation of the law of cause and effect. I still believe that even though I am not a Buddhist anymore.

  • please read the one below this first! We find the solution for our problem in chapter 4 of Alcoholic's Anonomous bb. We find the How and Why of it in the 5th chapter.The How of it is the 12 step's with help practicing certain principle's that go along with these steps. The why of it is we had to quit playing God it didn't work.He is the director we are the actors here to play our part. He is the father we are the children. What keeps it working is working with others chapter 7.

  • I drank and drugged was fun at first then it became insane (obssive + compulsive). My problem centered in my mind the I could not be overcome by self control as with help from others in A.A. I found that there is a solution. The solution does not come from people as the only ultimate authority in A.A. is a loving God as He MAY express Himself in our group conscience.

  • @Garyssober1 God's not real tbh.

    The only reason you were able to overcome alcoholism was by lying to yourself.

    That's what happens when you take stupid things like alcohol anyway.

    Shoulda just lit up a few spliffs and you'd never have ended up in this mess.

  • inn re cover e 4 over 37 years.this is freak inn great

  • So true !

  • Party Time!!!!!! Perfect.

  • @ANZUS777 Sign the slips bro, don't be a dickhole.

  • Comment removed

  • @ANZUS777 i felt the need to tell you because im showing you that AA is a cult/scam and that nobody needs it if they just practice self control, jesus i know u go to AA using words like resentment and shit. and u dont sign slips for people ordered there by court god u sound like a total fucking asshole. just proves my point people who are in AA are self righteous and full of themselves

  • @ANZUS777 also AA teaches u that ur powerless over drugs and alcohol, thats so bullshit oh poor me i cant help but get drunk waaaah waaahhh waaaah. use some fucking self control

  • @ANZUS777 been force fed AA since i was 16 and I'm 21 now i drink maybe 2 beers MAYBE twice a week simply through self control i don't go to AA cause its fucking repulsive. AA works for people only when it is the last thing they try, otherwise these people would would wise up and give up drugs anyways like i have. its always in the last place you look isn't it

  • For Christ sake people! It's a parody, a fucking joke! LIGHTEN UP AND CHILL!

  • @ANZUS777 ya u right. my point is AA makes things worse or doesn't help at all

  • "I had no idea my sobriety was hurting my family" That has got to be the funniest fucked up thing I have ever heard.

  • i like how that one Penn Jillette lookin lady busts out the Colt 45 tall boy!

  • As a counsler for AA, I can tell you that the video is hardly an absurd pretentious caricature of the average AA client.

  • is this video for real. no... I really can't tell. Sobriety saves lives... is this a joke?

  • @marylangdon shut the fuck up obnoxious bitch. AA doesnt do shit. look up AA succes rate

  • @marylangdon My father spent more time with me drunk than he did sober. When he sobered up, he decided that other "mistakes" needed to change, such as being married to my mother. He left us with a simple note and hasn't made contact since. The note is too personal to reveal...

  • As a great believer in the 12 step program I thought this was funny as fuck.

    I spoke to my sponsor and he too thought it was funny as fuck.

    I asked my higher power and he couldn't stop laughing.

  • @owenmcghee1 Freemason much?

  • I used to go to AA... but it really cut into my drinking time....

  • This video sucks.

  • im not in aa but know about it. open forum to freely speak as long as you admit or believe in their way. law vs. grace. destiny vs. free will. people get ready. i am an edomite. the answer is in the truth. s (a) t (an) or A.A. predestination is inevitably paradigm ;)

  • I thought for a second they meant "aa" as in rough, cindery lava.

  • Comment removed

  • what if your onionnewsholic or something

  • I'm in AA and this is funny as shit to me!!!

  • @Ultimaxification lol, i regularly go to aa and this was funny as fuck, if you can't laugh at yourself, you will be miserable

  • @zhxiate LOL. I "know somebody" who's been sober for years and said that this video is hilarious. You just need to read between the lines to see the humor in it.

  • This was great!!

  • Comment removed

  • hilarious. haha. clever.

  • Jesus Howard Christ on rubber fucking crutches. I'm reading these posts and everyone's panties are in a fucking twist. If you can't laugh about satire and youreself, you need to get a life. I've been sober 5 years and I thought this was funny as hell. AA is my way! Lighten up! No need to be a hater.

  • Bwahhhhhahahaha!

    

  • i like how the message on the monitor is really gonna happen

  • This made me pour a glass of whine, Merry Christmas!

  • Ahhhh.... Just realised its an onion spoof.... Nice!

  • Is this video for real?

  • I'm not studying until i find a video with clifford banes

  • "I can't get through a week without AA..."

  • Why can't other news agencies be like this?

  • HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

    

  • My social life is fine and I've been sober for 20 yrs. It's nice to remember what I did the night before. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.you ignorant bastards.

  • @shamanjon It's satire. They're making fun of people who think AA is for losers who don't like fun. It's not to be taken seriously.

  • @DoctorBlissphd Thx for the tips!! Had 4 interventions in the past 7 months and plan to scoot past at least two more... keep the party going!

  • If you're a "fun" person and are afraid that the people in your life are about to spring an intervention on you please google Modern Drunkard Magazine. You'll find tips on how to survive an intervention while keeping the party going.

  • Ahhh .. now I see .. now I get it .. this is just merely one, big, orchestrated, sick joke by these morons ...

  • @colindominy LOL, I hope you realize how dumb you sound! People like you are why the Onion exists!

  • An utter piece of rubbish .. you people have no idea whatsoever .. that's not what it's like at all in AA. You poor fucks ...

  • @colindominy This is a satirical news channel you moron.

  • The meaning of life is drugs

  • stupid fucking fucks!dont know shit! you should think about about how unmangable thier lives are. some of us cant drink or use anymore cuz it fucks our lives up, i am a proud aa,and n.a member,i am not borning. i got evrything goin for me now! so please stop talkin shit!

  • @juggabong ..how are you coping with your disease..oops!!..your choice??/..have you ever tried cancer?

  • @euroman32589

    Sheesh man, what an insufferably douchebag you must be.

  • @juggabong looool

  • @bootlessbutt22 but it IS fake, LOL.

  • I wish real news was like this.

  • i aint as think as you drunk i am.

  • The only requirement for AA is the desire to stop drinking.

    Take what you want and leave the rest.

  • @Alkee61 yeah, like all of it.

  • awesome lol

  • WOULD THESE PPL ALSO OFFER A RECOVERING DRUG ADDICT COCAINE???

  • IS THIS A JOKE?

  • @IIIIlllllll Yes, this channel is all jokes.

  • @IIIIlllllll Yes.

  • You knnow, big fat nasty woman like this on this know show should turn and look at whats making her so fucking ffat,,,then join a an overeaters anonymouse group, and she might lose one of her extra jaws.

  • This people don't understand AA is not for everyone. It is for us who can not find fun anymore by drinking. If anybody enjoys it, without hurting anyone YOU DONT NEED HELP .If you think you need help doesnt mean it has to be at AA..

  • @pedrosmusic1 AA i s not for anyone except those that want to find god

  • @MyCatsareMyGods thats a load of shit a a does know there s a god but they also say anything can be your higher power even a fkn bus what ever works 4 you or what ever u choose as your higher power learn befor you talk idiot i been to 3 meetings cuase of a dui but i do no they dont push anything on you or religion moron

  • @LukeTheDrifter07 keep making my point. Thanks

  • im retarded

  • WTF i just got to 1:40 WTF this is so fake

  • @daniilsp7 Derp.

  • WTF 

  • Oh dear. I think some people on here are getting a bit hot and bothered for no reason. This sketch is primarily poking fun at the kinds of vapid panel discussions that are seen on TV all the time which take serious, complex issues and reduce them to a series of worthless, reactionary soundbites.

  • @mmmutie wow u a only one with a brain.

  • Rehab is for quitters.

  • @quaffed156156

    They're NOT for real. It's called a satire (Form of humor, sarcastically made or said argument which is very obviously false, and showing the clear ridiculousness to the viewer.)

  • i thouht it stood for american atheists, were so depressed

  • I'M DRUNK AS FUCK.

  • @NickyAmerica hell yeah! Me too!

  • destroying every relationship around u, hurting Ur loved 1s repeatedly, losing any possesions, losing urself and any passion u once had, being so depressed u wanna die..thats what drugs and alcohol did for me atleast, aa has taught me how to be drug free and how to be a decent human being, and how to deal with life as it comes along, its changed alot of ppls lives and i think this vid is fuckin offensive!

  • @quaffed156156 The sucess rates for AA are as low as those for people giving up alcohol on their own. That club has every right to be mocked.

  • wtf?? is this for real?? alcoholism IS a DISEASE witch has little to do with drugs or alchohol in wich they were the solution to our lives. aa provides a solution for me on how to live life without the coping mechanism of getting high. and for the record, ppl that can get drunk every once in awhile w no consequences should not go to aa. its for ppl like me who find themselves caught in deep addiction, living in the daily cycle of waking up, scoring, getting high, repeat...

  • lol hes freaking out 1:49-1:52

  • no one will tell when to drink, fuck or beat a girl...!!!

  • ridiculous.! not even humurous.

  • LMFAO!!!!!

  • It's a parody people, I've saved tens of lives by taking addict criminals off the street. They are now productive members of society, it's not a cult yeah it might affect the family , but at least he's home for dinner and not stealing cash out of the joint account and can hol;d down a job which is more than most of you pothead dicks

  • AA deal in absolutes. Their message is depressing. I'd rather kill myself than think of a life completely free of marijuana and alcohol. Been off marijuana for four weeks now today I truly got sick of hangovers I'm quitting alcohol today. In another month I'll quit smoking. I don't want anything to do with AA or NA...

  • just looking at the AA members comments below is proof of how lifeless and humorless they have become. they can't even appreciate a joke anymore. and that sanctimoniousness.... UGH!

  • @colorconnection Just so you know...we're not ALL lifeless, humorless, and sanctimonious....I'm a very grateful member of Alcoholics Anonymous with 7 1/2 years of sobriety and I thought this was hilarious! :) I actually just emailed it to one of my sponsees but now after reading all these comments I'm a little nervous that she might be offended! I LOVE satire and I thought this was awesome!

  • aaaaaaaaaa

  • Clifford Banes is awesome

  • i went to aa and got laid 4 times...thank u higher power...my wildest derams came true.

  • @euroman32589 Thats something to be proud of, bet you got a pocket full of date-rape pills. Stole any candy from children lately. To feed your sickness off others is LOW. Did it enter your mind that some of these women are really lost and close to suicide. They have been prayed upond by small men like you for years. Remember Karma sucks!
