  • Not only is this not funny it is a rip off from an old cartoon sketch. At least there was some decent booty.

  • i respected sarah for not being a slut in the vids

    she didnt have to do this!!

  • any1 else got a boner right now?

  • HEY!!! I get it! Like Shaft, right?

  • Though I really enjoy this, sortof sucks finding out it's a ripoff.

    Search google for "Theme from Taft", first link.

    This was done in a cartoon show in 1998.

  • @englanddg That's the point...

  • I rather watch the history channel more then this video

  • I love that "shut your mouth" part! gets me every time

  • isnt that basicaly Silvio bilasconi

  • Funny, but a handfull of historical innacuracies. Teddy Roosevelt was the trust buster, and Woodrow Wilson was the 16th Amendment passer.

  • @IchBinDerReich taft didn't really do anything lol

  • @IchBinDerReich Taft actually took out more trusts than Roosevelt.

  • i actually love the music and signing!

  • Way to rip off the tick cartoon...

  • Ah 0:43

    :)

  • I can dig it :D

  • I was going to watch the whole video but instead just watched 0:38 to 0:49... many, many times.

  • Comment removed

  • its the peanut guy!!!

  • He was too fair and balanced, too concerned with what was the judicious decision as President. His Justice Department pursued over 80 anti-trust suits - Roosevelt, whose Justice Department pursued a mere fraction of that, however, was far more political and savvy in selling his rep to the voters as a man of the people instead of the Eastern elitist he was

  • Tbh, he wasn't a very good president.

    Compared to roosevelt before him, he was extremely passive and alienated the progressive followers Teddy had created.

    He didn't bust trusts either, like the song said. That was more of Wilson after him.

    Just sayin'....

  • @watcherthatboxer Actually, he took down more trusts in four years than Roosevelt did in eight.

  • @ShrougerNite I wouldn't be surprised if he took down more trusts than roosevelt. Roosevelt was a little hesitant with big companies. I said Wilson took down more trusts

  • @watcherthatboxer I was remarking that in many respects, he was more proactive than Roosevelt.

  • if your going to burn 2 dollars burn one

  • for those of you who don't know, this is a spoof of the theme song fot "shaft", a 70's movie

  • Singer looks like Napolean dynamite.

  • The income tax and Arizona? He sounds even worse than Bush!

  • "this cat Taft is one fat motherf..."

    "Shut your mouth!"

    Brilliant! xD

  • i can dig it

  • Dat ass.

  • you can't dig this?

  • nice asses

  • He even has a secret pony brigade and everything.......

  • Wasn't Taft a joke from that old Tick Show in the 90's? He was a shaft lookalike and everything.

    Really uncool Collegehumor.

  • @yellowcougar18 president taft, was a president of the united states... this is a parady of every single thing he has done...

  • @ShinoJereamachi Oh, right...

    I kinda look like a massive idiot now...:(

  • i live in Europe and we have skyscrapers here..... not in masses but still.

  • i live in Europe and we have skyscrapers here..... now in masses but still.

  • i live in Europe and we have skyscrapers here.....

  • Hotness :)

  • sarah look really nice in this

  • @killaute She is not in this video.

  • Not nearly fat enough.

  • my best friends last name is taft!

  • Were learning about Taft in ss and all of this is tru

  • Nice ripoff of The Tick.

  • The middle of Taft's presidency was 100 years ago.

  • Now I know who to blame for Arizona!

  • To all the idiots posting about Histeria doing it.

    Has it ever occurred to you that this was probably written by a guy who did watch it? Not to mention, Taft, Shaft. Seriously, not hard to make the connection.

    Besides, Histeria didn't have backup dancers.

  • this went nowhere...

  • plagiarism?

  • 0:35

    Who was hoping they'd do a little MAGIC there? like...making something disappear...?

  • clearly a copy of histeria (animaniacs)

    

  • Taft was like 300 pounds... they had to make a special bath for him. It was called the swimming pool.  I don't think he was sexy.

  • @hobbitandwife Just one man's opinion.

  • Actually, the first income tax was started by Lincoln.

  • @Haakai true, but Taft's was the first to last more than 3.5 years

  • Guys theres a Cartoon called Historia... Who did this exact same thing

  • @Ghostdog15 yeah but this is easier to wank to

  • @Ghostdog15 it's called Histeria! DUMBASS

  • I actually just used this video for a history paper...

  • i learned more about taft in this video than in my whole elementary school years.

  • Wow very impressive College Humor steals an idea already done by a cartoon named Histeria. Great job

  • But Beefsteak is delicious!

  • Now? What's my name?

  • Who is this guy?

  • didn't they do this on Histeria?

  • SHAFT!...I mean TAFT!

  • Not fat enough!

  • rofl! love how he burns the money after he makes income tax...be funnier if it werent true  T.T

  • Remember when The Tick wrestled with Taft?

  • Ah Taft.

  • President Taft.

  • Comment removed

  • hey! don't diss Arizona!

    i may have to hunt you down...

  • Histeria! Did it.

  • But I doubt they could get away with this version.

  • oooo i like the the legs ;) haha

    TAFT!

  • You just don't get it.

    Who's the 27th prez who's got the ladies doin' everything he sez?

    TAFT!

  • great job bitching about someone who died many many years before you were born

  • And yet still impacts us all today, and not in a good way.

  • nice legs girls

  • Wow They Opened The History Books For This One... I Forgot There Even Was A President Taft... Nice...

  • I think we all would have learned more if they had things like this in the schools when we were kids...might have made us care about most of it then

  • Taft was a real president.

    He was supposedly a freind of roosevelt and his "successor" but I think that decision was made when he was drunk.

  • William Taft

    Google him he's ''phatter'' than the dude in the video..

  • Looks like the monolpy guy or a rich mario

  • @dodgedurangoman no actually he looks like taft

  • I understand you, Taft!

  • lol and that 4 person tub taft got stuck in it

  • That doesn't look anything like Taft. Taft looked like an eggplant with a mustache.

  • elephant larry's stuff is so random

  • Good, but you can't help but wonder if they were 'inspired' by the Histeria sketch of the same theme (also Shaft theme talking about President Taft).

  • Seconded Wartler's comment.

  • I don't wanna know anyone who bathes with four other people!:P

  • 3 other people

  • You make a good point.

  • Hahahah , alright thats a good one!

  • ever been to a swimming pool?

  • No what is it?

    Course i have but there is chlorine in there to disinfect things

    Ur not bathing in filth!

  • chlorine does not kill all the germs, verruca still manage, and aids, pools get closed due to aids.

  • :O I'll never swim again!

  • actually the bath was solely for him. it had to be that big because he was so overweight he got stuck in regular sized ones :D

  • The guy singing at the piano kinda looks like the main guy from SNL.

  • He reminds me of the lead singer of Coldplay

  • Holy shit, was the girl dancing in the middle Sarah?

  • Haha, they should do these for every president

  • William Howard Taft was the only president to ever get his big toe stuck in the drain of the White House bathtub.

  • hell, histeria did it a lot better

  • didnt an old cartoon already do this?

  • yup. histeria.

  • Taftttttttt!

  • :O dude burned lik 100,000 dollers u know how many live u could save with that sht

  • You idiot, it wasn't real money.

    God, people are so dumb.

  • kiss my ass i was jk

  • They didn't even mention the story BEHIND the awesome bathtub. Well, once you get stuck in your bathtub, there's no going back, lol. You will NEVER be taken seriously again, Taft.

  • James K. Polk > William Howard Taft

  • James Kool Polk ftw

  • taft! lol

  • Reminds me of when hysteria did this. I actually liked their version better.

    Youtube Theme to taft if you want to take a gander.

  • They forgot to mention that his special tub also needed a crane to get his ass in.

  • haha, yeah.

    Fattest President the US has ever had. He actually got stuck in a bathtub at one point.

  • hence the huge f-ing bathtub

  • they should do this kind of thing for every president, cause i actually learned from this

  • Find me another president, whos name rhymes with Shaft.

  • Didn't Histeria do something like this a while ago? Although not as funny?

  • god ilove this.

  • Why the bloody hell is every arguing about taxes? You HAVE to pay them or the Government can just arrest you for tax evasion......Its just that simple and it IS A LAW

  • if ur a rogue u can use evasion maybe this will clear things up

  • Taft!

  • I, for one, did not know that President Taft had three girls in tux jackets at his beck and call. Perhaps this shows how little I know about the country I live and love in.

    Yeah, I said love in. Taft.

  • lol

  • There is NO law stating that you have to pay your taxes... But i would recommend paying your taxes.. because the government will frame you for something else. its happened.

  • You're just a cheapskate. Do you like Police? Do you like fire fighters? Do you like paved roads? do you like libraries?

  • LoL.. your naive boy.

  • Yeah... you tell him gn1t3! You don't need no cops to protect you, you so hard with your high and mighty comments, you can take out anyone what messes with you! If they aren't perfect, anyone who supports them must be completely fucking retarded... especially considering you know all!

  • My naive boy? What? Besides, the law that says we have to pay taxes is the IRS Tax Code, which the constitution allows for. I assume you watched a video like Zeitgeist and believed every word of it.

  • uhhh if you didnt "Have" to pay them, they wouldnt automaticly come out of your pay check, that would be stealing, and for the business owners, if they didnt "Have" to pay them, then the IRS couldnt get them for a little thing called Tax evation...now shut up and pay your taxes so our kids can have a school to learn in...

  • ACTUALLY, there is no amendment and/or statute that has anything to do with income tax.

    Income tax is unconstitutional. Don't pay it. Spread the word.

  • What about the sixteenth?

  • ... its not unconstitutional tax is the price you pay for having a government.

  • the issue is INCOME tax. The problem is that by taxing multiple exchanges of money it punishes certain types of industry and limits free exchange of capital. Add on to that the issue of logistics (the IRS). The IRS became a huge organization that not only drains further government funds but clogs courts, bogs down employers and creates uncertainty with small jobs. You never know for sure what money the IRS categorizes as what.

    Also, multiple taxes just obscure how much they really take.

  • wow... didn't mean to rant so much. I pay taxes! theres a funny episode of rosanne where she deals with tax time.

  • Hey, come on, somebody had to pay for war.

  • loved the stache and the hot ladies

  • didnt they do something like this in histeria on kidswb

  • Yay Taft made Arizona a state! Go Taft! Also income tax isn't that bad... Bush sorta defeated the purpose though...

  • Monicles are awesome!

  • whats the actual song they are  parodying

  • shaft

  • The shaft theme song, circa 1971.

  • shaft

  • The mustache made the whole video a 10 instead of a 9.999.

  • i dont get it

  • its funny if you know history

  • nobody understands taft but his vice president.

    "I understand you, taft"

  • hahah genius

  • That wasn't really funny.. but the hot chicks made it all better.

  • is that duke nukems skinny little brother on the Piano?
