SADDAM'S STATUE TOPPLES

[SteveLeonidas]

Christ, who's the second commentator? His voice is hilarious.

[dondawg00]

@SteveLeonidas austin powers

[hnoooy007]

SADDAM 4 EVER

[dentonatordude]

i remember this. i remember the year. the tv was on mute. and so was everybody else in my house.

[Clozano84]

Freedom to just sit and read a book full of LEFT WING PROPAGANDA...do your hair crazy, wear crazy clothes ITS ALL COOL....he's got his hand up as if to say, TAAAXXII! But there's no taxi coming to pick up this BAAASTARD!....refused to share his amazing palace, his cushions and his HOOOCH! LOL! where did they find this dickhead

[todalen2]

0:15 i didnt know stewie became a reporter?

[26wordy]

how many times are they going to mention symbols and symbolism.

[WickedHamBurglar]

@26wordy to show that we gave a shit enough to help

[endeavourthelimits]

The American Flag? I thought it was the civilians who put the statue down not the US army?

What is the value of such an act if it's done by the foreign hands?

[TheAdjundantReflex]

@endeavourthelimits

The tank was American, so therefore it's justified.

[donkeybuttpin123]

ROFL this guy who's talking is awesome.

[humbledcowboy]

I held my laughter in as long as i could. He got me with the taxi comment.

[cuntscab555]

crash of symbols. lol

[lsteer100]

why didn't the iraqi's stop it?

[trakkaton]

@lsteer100

They tried to and got killed in the hundreds of thousands, remeber? REMEMBER?

Depleted Uranium, remeber? Phosphorous, remember? Medication embargoes, remember? Shock and awe, remember? Torture, remember? Raping of juveniles, remember? The fascist US empire did all to cripple the Iraqis while they were defending their homeland.

[lsteer100]

@trakkaton the point of the war in iraq was to remove saddam and his sabbah government from power. they're almost there now, which is why the coalition is scaling down operations there. the people don't deserve to suffer, no matter who's in charge, whether it's saddam or the US.

[trakkaton]

@lsteer100

Spare me with your SHIT. The propaganda said "9/11", then "WMDs", then "Saddam", then "oil". I'm not some shit for brains like you, where amnesia and stupidity meets propaganda overdose. Saddam1 was the best friend of the US, THEY INSTALLED HIM. THEY ARMED HIM TO ATTACK A PEACEFUL NEIGHBOUR. THEY ENCOURAGED HIM TO ATTACK ANOTHER NEIGHBOUR!

Now i's time for Saddam2, even worse, but without the Euro/oil trade, and a slave to IsraHELL. They scale down? They use more PMCs. Plus they lost.

[lsteer100]

@trakkaton whatever...

[WickedHamBurglar]

@trakkaton and it's the jackasses like you that made every bit of the above mentioned possible. thank you for pissing off the wrong motherfuckers.

[trakkaton]

@WickedHamBurglar

Keep your nonsensical, incoherent gibberish for yourself, you crazy whacko!

[Land0fKasia]

can remember watching this with mum when i was 5 or 6 people stamping on the statues head and i laughed my head off :D

[lewisx20x20x20]

not american vehicle its british

[tstew660]

ITS ALL COOOL



[AdamSwainston0]

Horace Slughorn did this voice-over.

[cashwat210]

bitch stewie?

[hnoooy007]

we dont forget you sdam

[djtrixen]

@hnoooy007 The rest of us do. Good riddance. lol

[pockthehairy]

This isn't what I wanted when I searched 'saddam topless'

[369dc]

That was COOL!!!!!

[95predator]

this is the only good thing england has ever done.

3:00 youre jealousnow

[hassanalbanna]

i spit on this flag

[Truth118]

"What do you think about this flag? Are you offended?"

...

"Yes."

[jonathan1994ish1]

A lot of people say it's wrong because kids lost limbs and people died, but how many more died under him and how many more would have if we hadn't stepped in?

[iamkingofthecastle]

fuck Saddam... but fuck th US more... how about the young Iraqi kid that lost his arms and legs because of a stray US warhead... FUCK THE US I WILL LAUGH WHEN NORTH KOREA BOMBS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

[TheAdjundantReflex]

The commentary is fake, obviously. 

[utarakan1]

usa made change ??? i thing that only rumor's ....... usa just taking oil from iraq.....

[outerrealm]

The crashing symbolism is deafening. Isn't that Austin Powers narrating?

[SuperWarking]

Fuck, the British are some awesome folks!

[TheAdjundantReflex]

I am an Iraqi Muslim. Things may not be good right now, we have hope for the future now. Under Saddam, my family and my people never had hope. Thank you for freeing us America this will never be forgotten. in 10 to 20 years, iraq will be a nice place.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THANK YOU MARINES FOR GIVING US OUR COUNTRY BACK!

[GunsOfThePhoenix]

@TheAdjundantReflex Saddam was a terrible man, he did chemical attacks on my nationality years ago and sponsored hatred worldwide. 

[thairtheiabat]

@TheAdjundantReflex

[xDead27Eyex]

@TheAdjundantReflex December Iraq will be run by Iraqis. You will be in control of your country and i wish you the best.

[TheAdjundantReflex]

@xDead27Eyex

Thanks. =)

[EE9EER]

That was cruel... when the soldiers put over the american flag over the head...gave me goosebumps... it made it seem like they were there to invade the country for their own purposes ( NOT THAT THEY WEREN'T..Haliburton ) not for their alleged reason of "freeing the people " if so atleast put over a flag of afghanistan...but why bother that crowd looked so (fake) i wonder who spend more time interviewing the crowd,directing them orders, these soldiers or a presidential candidate on speech night

[Hperman09]

Dude i don't like when a US marine put the US flag over Saddam Husein. You in Iraq so put an old Iraqi flag over it!

[farfletched]

I don't know what's funnier......Adam Buxtons commentary or the fact that some people think it is real.

[philly1537]

lol wtf reporter funniest shit ever how is he reporting the news i would not take anything serious this guy says

[coinman1909aka]

Kermit the frog here.

[Killswitchwaterpolo]

this is the real video not a spoof but the iraqies dont really care about this toppiling. the video we americans see is completely different it is a very close to the people around but not a wide shot to see who really cares

[thewatsonater]

haha stupid yanks thinking the commentary is real. Adam Buxton is hilarious.

[AndreHiltre]

See the tanks blocking the streets? That tells us that the US army were preventing the public from entering the square, therefore that small mob around the statue must be hand picked by the Americans to perform for the camera. It's not rocket science, just use your eyes and brain!

[BanditV8racer]

what ever happen to the soldier who put the mexicos flag first

[OksanaCouture]

fucking ugly american losers gonna put there flag over the head like that who the ufkc do they think they are

[Vittore007]

@OksanaCouture

The video doesn't show this, but we replaced the American flag with a pre-Saddam era Iraqi flag before tearing the statue down.

[OksanaCouture]

english fuck sounds annoyign needs to stfu with his white honki self

[BigBadJoeRed]

totally fake.

[DJMation]

If you zoom in on the crowd jumping on the stature after it fell, you will see that most of the crowd is made up of reporters and marines, very few civilians. It was properganda footage, that worked. :(

[DJMation]

@mtxewrestler Well, I'm sorry if you don't believe me, and have resorted to insults to make yourself feel better. Whatever, just teaching history.

[Xiahoud]

Its ironic how when the statue fell - the country was no longer in control due to looting and gangs, then a civil war, suicide bombings and a corrupt government.

[CapSlapAHoe]

Its an Abrams you stupid whore, not an Engineering vehicle

[Buskie1]

@CapSlapAHoe

'twas a comedian.

[smokndarasta]

I think we can agree that Saddam was a bad dude, but the war took 10 times as many civilian lives as Saddams regime did. We should have never went in there.

[slyness15617]

this is one of the most amusing news reports ive ever heard omg

[toamuka]

Gotta love our BBC War news report feeds... ( the original videos )

anyone got anything like this in your country?

[missmental]

"He's got his hand up as if to say 'taxi!', but there's no taxi coming to pick up this bastard, who for so long, has refused to share his amazing palace, his cushions and his pooch, and his beautiful vases with the people that he claimed to represent!"

LMAO! XD

[AnEnemy100]

oh yeah, the huge crowds... oh no they're not, are they...

[MegaHungrybear]

they overdid it though..... its not that big of a deal. any country would want to tear down a dictators statue. and fyi getting gassed for being a kurd isnt freedom so im pretty sure they do want freedom. but in war emotions get mixed ALOT. i think the scale on which war is judged changed with nam.....

[mrcthms]

adam buxton is a genius! that voice gest me every time

[iran1307]

I'm an iranian and support US troops if they come and help us to get rid of our dictators ,Thanks president bush ,why didn't you finish the job in IRAN?

[drunkgorilla]

The fall of the Saddam Statue is the US Flag raising on iwo jima of our time.

I'm drunk.

[SgtSlime]

AMAZING, simply fantastic

[olegBas]

OMG,commentator is idiot.

[splatch1000]

@olegBas HOW STUPID ARE YOU?

[iluvmyjill]

haha listen to the reporter "people love freedom"haha

[robseven7]

Haha, there's no taxi commin for this bastard! Hahaha!

On a more serious note, that tool who put the American flag over his face completely removed any and all sinserity to the US being there. Such an idiot.

[infamousskater05]

that reporters voice HAS to be fake haha what the fuck!

[bobbygibson1]

you do know this is a sketch by the comedian Adam Buxton yeah?

[infamousskater05]

that was supposed to be funny? Adam Buxton should find another profession.

[spulkagent47]

That reporter... What a clown....

[switchfootdude224]

this reminds me of the collapse of the soviet union

[casesully50]

that reporters a joke lol

[kahah2]

@casesully50

lololololl

his voice is halarious the 2nd one

[computersANDstuff]

They shouldn't have put the American flag up...

I agree with toppling the statue, but shoving US'NESS down everyones necks was too far.

[AssyrianBeast357]

ya i know but an Iraqi weight lifter later takes it down and puts an american flag up

[firedril101]

do the iraqies like the usa now?

[classicalguss]

lol no not really.

[splatch1000]

I find it so hard to believe that these prepostorous Americans think this is real. I'm quite worried for them.

[firedril101]

who ran the country when saddam was hiding like a little girl?

[splatch1000]

@firedril101 no idea. toto from the wizard of oz?

[splatch1000]

@firedril101 they sure ran it well didnt they. still at war now with basically nothing achieved.

[SocratesOwnsGorgias]

By the way, this is comedy, not an actual reporter. Ken Korda is a fictional film director, reporter, actor, and so on.

[SocratesOwnsGorgias]

This is hilarious.

"There's no taxi coming for this BASTARD"

<3 Adam Buxton

[NaughtyMermaid23]

Those have got to be the dumbest reporters in the history of the world. "He's got his hand up as if to say, 'Taxi!'" ? WHAT?!

[kingofkings262]

april 9th is my birthday!

[Fudger1000]

adambuxton you are a cunt suck my big black balls.

[07dumbell]

who's that fucking guy!!! so fucking annoying!!

[NaughtyMermaid23]

He has the worst voice ever?! LOL!

Who let him be a reporter?!

[tubub]

Is that Kermit the frog guy real LOL?

no. fuck no. lol.

[mercurygm757]

REPORTER: "the statue is falling mmmkay , oh and kids don't do drugs mmmmkay"

[SemiSlavable]

"... his beautiful vases.."!

[sufc62]

This is a redubbed spoof version voiced by Ken Korda, who is a character created by Adam Buxton. Look for his behind the scenes on the 1st season of The IT Crowd its fucking hilarious

[amn201]

Its quite obviously a spoof. The voice of the 'reporter', is actually a comedian who does many other re-dubbed clips that you can find along the side in related videos. Anyone who dosnt realise this is a fake must have the IQ of a squashed orange. Poor poor americans

[MegaHungrybear]

@amn201 i was wondering, he didnt seem like a reporter

[edwardl68]

this stupid fucking video with all the retards not showing the fucking statue fall and the dumb ass reporter that cant even speak fuckin english damn tea sucking bastards!!!!!

[mikewbma]

What Kind of reporter is this?

is he making his voice sound like that on purpose?

[SmoochaZ]

Why is the reporter calling him a bastard..

the reporter is gay

[kjkj74]

i remenber whan the statue drops a guy with a communist flag appears

communists are everywhere even in fucking iraq

[aboodmatar]

Lets kill alll communist.

[kjkj74]

at least i know i am supperior than you.

i dont wish death on nobody. i think violence is an horrible act and that its the weapon of the weak.

[aboodmatar]

I tried....JK

[IPlayWithFire135]

Lets kill all Capitalists!!

[baseballman94]

an un-thinking marine put this american flag up there which only pissed off the iraq poeple. However,one marine names Casey Kuhlman previously found a discarded pre-suddam flag which was used from1963-1991 qhich symbolized the country before suddam came into power. When Casey saw his marines put the america flag up one reporter yelled to him that they must take the flag down. so he went to his humvee grabbed the iraq flag he had previously found and kept and they hung it over the american flag.

[latinoheatm8]

the reporter's voice is funny.

[kenjibeast]

Too bad this was staged by the military.

[richardmcginty]

The reporter is a penis

[damienhart]

lol who is this guy reporting? he's funny as fuck:L

[wonderjam2000]

it's. a. joke. by. the. datstardly COUNT BUCKULESE!!!

[O1casey]

"Peeople lovve freedom"

[simmy3000]

ok can everyone stop going on about the reality of this situation, this is SATIRE! it's meant to be funny, and it is, it's fucking hilarious. Good job Adam Buxton, well done, jolly goodd show, it was lovely

[ToshZeKeen]

0:21. His voice sounds excited.

[eatcarpet]

Sounds like even the coverage was staged.

[MDTC78]

Yes this is a lie..please watch what really happened from reporters from that land. This is all staged,these people were paid by the army to do this,bush toppled the towers to get this....so true

[darthgiggitygoo]

This did not really happen! This crowd was rented. The Media have been lying to us! This is all a lie!

[Sierra1905]

This guys gotta remember he's on live TV. You can't say bastard like that!

[jc7622]

Offended? That's what Saddam gets for trying to sell oil in Euros instead of the standard world currency of the Dollar. What? You didn't know that's why we invaded iraq? You thought it was for oil, WMD's, terrorism? No, it was to preserve our dollar as the proefrred world currency for oil trades in the world. It doesn't matter, it will eventually be replaced anyway. The question will be will we go to war with every country that tries to switch from it. Iran is talking about it. Watch out.

[VampyrSpike]

"what do you make of this, the flag on the head. are you offended?" WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK??? THIS IS THE STATUE OF A TYRANT THAT ORGANISED THE BRUTAL TORTURE AND BUTCHERING OF HIS OWN PEOPLE!!!!!! Did anyone ask those people if they were offended? Stupid bitch!

[Whoisafraidofreality]

It was a stage psychological operations by the US military. Search for it yourself

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

That may be true,but the impact still remains..

[Whoisafraidofreality]

Research who put Saddam in power. How international bankers funded his country. Research ther profit made from the death and pain of millions of people

Thanks

[darthgiggitygoo]

so true

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

one of Americas proudest moments:)

[triangleshapedcheese]

Hey lots of other soldiers died ya know.

Its why its called a coalittion. Meaning not just america.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

Being a soldier myself,I would never deny my brothers in arms from over the world their well desrved glory bro:)(ISAF f.ex in A'stan)

I didnt mean it like that..

[matthewm04]

SAS or American? or the good russian side?

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

Obviously the ones on our side(NATO)

[eatcarpet]

Your proudest moment was staged lol.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

Fuckig liberal dicksuck..if u wanna lay down in flower beds,and sing gay songs until world peace arrives,be my guest..I prefer getting my hands dirty in contrast to all the god damn peacenicks like yourself,that dont know what the fuck you are talking about,cause you never ever served ,I dont need your  FUCKING RESPECT !

[Lixxom]

it was fake..

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

were you there?ever been close to Iraq?if not shut the fuck up

[Bestmanme08]

There is a great new bio (Charlton Heston: An Incredible LIfe: Revised Edition) discussing Heston's views on saddam! Bio at amazon!

[jamesthefool]

So, so funny. @2:30

[Ragman205]

theres now taxi coming to pick up this bastard hahaha fucking comedy

[malcolmeuxerxes]

looks like a narcoleptic hailing a cab

[AWmaxxbass]

AMERICA, F**K YEAH!!!!

irony lolololol

[SimonB198207]

AWmaxxbass - YEAH, THEY'RE GONNA SAVE THE MUTHAF****IN' DAY, YEAH!

Trey Parker, Matt Stone - fantastic

[outamoney0]

Yeah the Americans are stupid....

You must not have sound.

[richmocha]

well im going to torture and oppress your family and friends and then we'll see if you have to be paid to take down a statue of me. and of course there is a fucking tank there, the americans took the damn city, otherwise saddams troops would have stopped that from happening. cudos, you are fucking stupid

[rorrt]

i love the way that even with all the trivial twaddle that buxton was talking about...

whats even more stupid was the way that the american troops put the american flag on the statue...

IDIOTS.

i love Adam Buxton though, i am a recent member of Black Squadron.

[osprmot3]

calling a taxi lol

[SkinoReturns]

AY aY AUSSIE YAH!

[elmarko99]

loaded with symbols lmao

[philerskine]

funny shit

[rickrenny]

erm im pretty sure it is a spoof. it is adam buxtons voice, you can tell its him

[Headcrab2027]

Die please.

[lolitadrame]

Fuck you all very much!

[notthatoriginal]

lmao! are you offended?

.......yes

thank you very much indeed.

[mcbill88]

Hahahaha the best thing about this video is that guy's voice - and seriously he adds nothing to the commentary 'yes I agree it will be a crash of symbols'... where did they get him from?!

[adecentusername]

My village was destroyed by the toppling of a statue with a flag on its head when I was a child, and I've never really recovered.

You insensitive clod, Buxton. I just hope you're HAPPY.

[Temible]

the US marines destroyed your village?

[brassknuckletrash]

saddam buxton

[chriscollins7]

haha are you offended? ....... uhh yes. At first I thought this video was a spoof.. bc of the sound of that guys voice. hilarious

[Squinge123456789]

This was one of those moments that I thought the media was just hyping up nothing. Saddam wasn't dead, the war wasn't over, this wasn't THE ONLY statue of Saddam and it was the start of a really bad period. The only thing it symbolised for me was the realisation (I was only 14) that the media talks bollocks sometimes.lol

[HyperMonkey07]

i thought it said saddam's statue TOPLESS... I was highly disappointed :(

[Itubemyass]

Me too!

[WoolyJoe]

'No taxi'scoming for this bastard!'

[landonscool23]

they put the american flag on his head then they put the iraq flag

[dexter2468]

fuckin hilarious - we salute you adam

[maxthemadman]

is this dubbed over to make the sound guy sound retarded?

[adam3295]

I was standing in the crowd.

[yousurfer2]

loaded with cymbals!!

[44caliber6232]

are you offended? ....yes

[colmmernagh]

From 2:07 on, now that is some truthful funny shit !!

[KyleClarkUSA]

You know most of those people were Kurdish not Iraqi
