Expert Wasted Entire Life Studying Anteaters

[kendrat199]

anteaters can stand on their hind legs and tails! WHAT!

[kballer05]

"LMAO!!! Eater of ants" The way he said that and the silence that followed was hilarious.

[Bzdoniek]

Hey, I need help guys. I need to do subtitle job for this video and I don't have any freakin idea what the woman is saying at the beginning :(

[circleofpit]

@Bzdoniek she sais: "you tuned in at the right time, because -guess what?- it's time for "today now's" critter corner and we're gonna (going to) talk all about anteaters!"

[TheDominocut]

...on today now this morning

[maggetman69]

Catcher of ants :|

[livialioness07]

What is this a satire of?

[ironmantis25]

If you know enough about something you will start to hate it.

[TheYouwontgetit]

this guy hates the anteaters alsmost as much as i do...

[AnObviousFailure]

I just love that awkward silence at the end.

[SexyFish660]

better than a proctologist...

[CaptainSpellingError]

@SexyFish660 Hey, if they aren't going to stick tiny cameras up our asses, who will?

[yogabbagabba1210]

Hey I love anteaters =(

[SuperCeol]

I do love ant eaters though. they are cute.

[Blackfriday420]

@SuperCeol No, they're not cute. They're not little, they're not cute.

[0LoveableYou0]

Dang, I wanted to see the anteater.

[soinicx2]

i know how this guy feels i have spent 15 years with the same family

[Andybaby]

Best onion skit EVER! Still funny 2 years and (at least) 20 viewings later!

[wertygumbo1]

ahhhhhhh lol!

[Elsovietkid]

I love anteaters

[Sebring720minutes]

This is the best Onion skit ever! "...and they're all going to die soon."

[sasha5566]

eater of ants, haha

[yusiftheranger]

"That's what I told your producers because I didn't want them to bring one here."

haha smart!

[GibbyLOLSTFUPLEASE]

lol

[darklink223456]

execellent trollers

[Ci3lO]

LOL this is awesome

[xBaileyJaxx]

damn, anteaters r cute

[Horticultural1]

The best part was how hard the interviewer character struggles to pretend to be interested in anteater research.

[Pokemon5thgeneration]

@Horticultural1 its fake lol



[Horticultural1]

@Pokemon5thgeneration lol I know that's why I called him the interviewer CHARACTER.

[ezazpatel]

I feel scared of how REAL they can make it sound!!

[kksixx]

haha no there not cute haha this guy is so stupid

[2012singularity2012]

@kksixx *they're

[shack196]

thats the best fml of the world

[ShietEverywhere]

"catcher of ants......" LMFAO

[ArcTerVic]

"Well you know there on the endangered species list, and um they are all going to die soon..." XD

[dockclerk1]

I hope these freaks are happy. I watched their allegedly funny video and suffered a series of thirteen anal seizures as a result. What kind of sickos are willing to go for a bit of sophomoric humor if it means I spend hours writhing about on the kitchen tile as a result? Well, if you feel the same, I hope you will give yourself a high colonic and ponder the meaning of life without Rush.

[ohthatweirdgirl]

Did you know? Anteaters can stand on their hind legs and tails!

[Revolution2pointO]

is it just me or do anteaters resemble mythical creatures?

[d3221ck]

Franklin Kurns was found dead in the dressing room of Today dead. He had hung himself moments after his appearance using a 2 foot long tounge of the ant eater, which the shows producers suprised him with even after his refusal of cooperation to be near it on air.

RIP Franklin Kurns, you will live on through your excellent research that unfortunately could not bring you nearly as much happiness as its readers.. .

[mattster250]

56 people are zoologists.

[zwartepiet412]

the interviewer's reactions are priceless... i wish i could watch matt lauer or katie couric at that level of discomfort

[Icy6222]

"Oh God......no no they're not cute no" hahahahaah

[jabsco23]

@Icy6222 "their tounge alone is 2 feet long"

[scrambledpenis]

56 anteaters pressed the dislike button!

[BlackTMstudio]

This Should be on Tv. It would be Funny to watch people believing This.

[orme96]

@BlackTMstudio it is! on the ifc! i stumbled across it the other day and it was awesome! these are all clips from the show.

[knuckles91444]

@BlackTMstudio this has been on tv for years and years

[BlackTMstudio]

This should be on TV! :D Would be Funny to watch other people to believe This. XD

[uploaderq]

FUCK YOU!!11!!

I´m an anteater

[zzzxtreme]

hahahhaha anteaters

[WhatsTHATm1ste3r67]

well, theyre on the endangered animals list and theyre all going to die soon. LMAO

[2012singularity2012]

@WhatsTHATm1ste3r67 so funny!!!!

[KDN888]

HAHAHAHAHA are these guys paid???? the quality of the acting and the production is TOP CLASS!

[connorolson17]

@KDN888 the onion is a real show haha

[spheremulticorp]

i love the little awkward pause at the end

[KingOfStaples]

Was it cable?

[luderudecrude]

@KingOfStaples this is a skit. it's not real news. The Onion produces funny news stories for the web, all fake.

[2012singularity2012]

@luderudecrude Joke's on you man . . .

[luderudecrude]

@luderudecrude jokes on me? you'll have to explain that

[KeenoDerToten]

You guys do know its acting :L

[KingOfStaples]

lol what news station was this on?

[br0nc096]

@KingOfStaples hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha

[Synphus]

@KingOfStaples Are you serious? holy crap, hey king I have some magical jelly beans that will give you money, 3 wish a bigger penis and a taco, would you like to have one?

[ani451]

love the the enthusiastic, "did you know?" at the bottom of the screen

[StoicSelf]

Sad and pathetic, that's what makes it so damn hillarious.

[lockrock13]

No, they're not cute. Their tongue alone is two feet long

[keen14you]

I fully encourage Dr. Kearn to not give up, but press on in his fascinating research! Maybe he just hasn't come across the right anteaters yet. With more patience and commitment, he might discover a lively, charismatic group like those adorable critters from "Meerkat Manor."

[TheXiaonFreak]

@keen14you

This is fake.

[jmkavar]

@TheXiaonFreak Your really oblivious....aren't you

[viralvideos333]

Kobe ankle sprain type:

Kobe Slo-mo ankle sprain turtledomination

[SirAwesumness]

They're on the endangered species list and they're all going to die soon. LOL

[TilleyFedora]

Considering that even the Monty Python folks have been known to break down laughing on stage, I wonder how many takes these videos need...

[m1c000l]

no there not cute

[rockuy784]

1:12 gotta love that.

[gamefreak0931]

I subscribed because I love funny stuff that's not intended to be.

[TilleyFedora]

@gamefreak0931

The Onion is meant to be funny. If you're looking for funny stuff that's not intended to be, I think you're looking for Fox news.

[TheClubbman]

But... who will eat the ants if the anteaters become extinct?

THE ANTS WILL RUN RAMPANT!

[implode44]

the physical manifestation of boredom, came into being

[VforVendetta200]

"they're on the endangered species list and they're all going to die soon"

[MsSunhappy]

the awkward silence is just hilarious!

[mattheadproductions]

ME: hey mike, do you think I will get arrested?

MIKE: For what?

ME: For raping theonion subscribe button

YOU GUYS ROCK!

[deaurcy]

53 people are sick of anteaters.

1933 people can relate to what Kearns's experience.

[Hegemonia20]

I wrote this one sort of

[Towelietowel]

Great acting.

[MauriciusPainkiller]

I love The Onion, but "tamandula" (or whatever) doesn't mean anything in "venezuelan" (or spanish)...

[MasicAena]

@MauriciusPainkiller It's actually Tamandua, and that translation is probably from Latin.

[Feaisian]

For once, I see sympathy within the eyes of the host.

[goodguysdoll]

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN!!! I think we all have felt this way about our own careers and lives. LMFAO!!

[DailyHondaRidr]

@goodguysdoll I definatly feel this way about college shiiiit SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

[198CharlesMartel198]

Wow i would feel so fucked being him...

or being an anteater... :D

[landovers]

It's pronounced TAMANDU-WAHH. Not a very good specialist if he can't even say the name og the damn thing :P

[ffmx2]

I don't think I've seen an anteater in anything besides a biology book before this...hmm...

[LongJohnsonn]

Fuck you I'm an anteater!

[J4ROM4]

Replace Anteaters with Women.

[vicanflo]

on man, I've just watched like ten Onion's videos in a row and started feeling bad for how hard I've been laughing...

[n9athan]

LOL thats awesome

[IAmTheWalrusGuy]

even though I know it's a joke, I feel bad for the guy.

[grantmatt11]

My new hobby is just to continue telling people that theonion isn't real and it's a joke you idiots

[45Blaide]

@grantmatt11 I'll join you in that hobby!

[190471ao2]

are any of the videos real

[donuthead551]

@190471ao2 they're all real! the onion is one of the most trusted news sources!

[lordkomodo123]

Haha they made him depressed

[Commandodudes]

poor guy :(

[Justification75]

that guy needs about five therapists

[grantmatt11]

@Justification75 the guy is an actor

[a1W6av1e8]

haha, they get the best actors.

[elk832]

I never realized this, but anteaters look fucking weird.

[retilgo]

I lol'd at "catcher of ants"

[buff2gruff]

this host reminds me so much of ron burgundy.

[doctamic]

i cant w8 to buy his book, wierd creatures how do u survive on ants.....

[georgethetraceur]

@doctamic *termites :P

[fireangel32]

It was like the physical manifestation of 15 years of boredom...came into being.

wow, that's harsh lol.

[grantmatt11]

@fireangel32 he's an actor

[Justification75]

@grantmatt11 yeah i know

[fireangel32]

@grantmatt11 no shit sherlock

[TheCrawler333]

I wasted my entire life studying the truthfulness of the onion.

[Ehrengrund]

Ist gestellt.

It's a fake, but still funny. (Check the OPAC of your university library, there's no book from this guy).

[NoisemakerArrow]

@Ehrengrund That's cause you go to a crappy university that can't afford thick books.

[Ehrengrund]

@NoisemakerArrow Check the Oxford OPAC.

[MarilynMonster88]

@MasterKittez and @gustavth1 Boys, boys... Enough with the bickering.

[TheWhiteFluffyBunny]

@MasterKittez You're funny. :)

[BIGJ8808]

i actually couldnt drink my coke cuz i couldnt stop laughing

[Feaisian]

At the end, the host's eyes are filled with sympathy

[Zombl337]

4 Real....hes a nerd lolz

[MasterKittez]

I'm an anteater and I'm sooooo offended. xD

[gustavth1]

@MasterKittez you are a retard, and not soooooo funny

[MasterKittez]

@gustavth1 Hey, troll, looks like you didn't have your breakfast of hate and swearwords.

[gustavth1]

@MasterKittez hey retard. I'm just trying to contribute so that we don't end up with stupid idiots all over youtube. I'm sure all of you "OMFG I HATE TROLL" people are against me. But read your comment now. Show it to some frieds. really? How funny was it? And if it wasn't, then don't post it

[MasterKittez]

@gustavth1 Why? Half the people on here are retards, if you can't make friends in real life, don't try here either.

[gustavth1]

@MasterKittez I'm sorry. Do you know everything about me? I'm actually helping you to that people don't think "Geez, what a jerk!" When they see your comment

[MrHopkinsproductions]

this real?

[MultiChrisjb]

@MrHopkinsproductions I don't know how many times I have to say this but... Of course it's real - all of the Onion shows are real and very serious.

[soundersfan90]

@MrHopkinsproductions Yes it is.

[CrankItEveryDay]

I'm going to buy that book!

[hunterW1134]

[TheNanakDev]

2:06 Jennifer Aniston

[douglasrmarion]

To not love the Onion is like not loving happiness.

[Enthos2]

This is fucking hilarious.

[dillonator42]

Catcher of ants.

[TexasNova]

Haha I love the Onion! Too bad they are not syndicated. Btw Jims expression at the end just made me bust out

Keep up the Good work Onion

5 Stars to ya

[amandajoyceisabella]

Anteaters are such weird looking animals.

[d1v4dPwnz]

LOL WTF, anteaters... come to the dark side.

[BarackOGanja]

"we're honored to have you join us on today now this morning" lol 0:26

[theworddoner]

ok... someone is clearly going through mid-life crisis. Hurry up and throw him termites so anteaters can eat off him!

[smoovegriz]

50 people though this was real

[jackthayer]

to those who think this is real and not a joke or those of u think this isn't funny at all plz go back to watching cars explode as u mindlessly clap ur hands and say man goes boom boom

[ALEXUNDERVIV777]

I love showing these news to people who don't know about Onion News and a lot of times people totally buy it and sit there and argue about disagreements lol

[swillswill]

If they don't eat ants, then why are they called anteaters?

[DrFumbles2010]

"It means catcher of ants"........silence.......

[slushypuppies]

I actually thought this was real until I saw the uploader's name..

[daffyman32]

Is this Real?????

[Snaggbash2000]

@daffyman32 you know what? figure it out for ya self. Im done with, umm... anteatres...

[daffyman32]

@Snaggbash2000 i know its fake its called scarcasm

[Snaggbash2000]

[GeneralMtrd]

"Do you have any.. uh... favorite anteater facts that you'd like to toss around?

"You know, they're on the endangered species list and their all going to die soon."

That's just too funny XD

[cuddleTrouble08]

This is Hillarious!! lol, poor guy O_o lol

[benzbubblecat]

1:41 I lolled

[AndroidPolitician]

Anteaters are the weirdest goddamn things.

[quelorepario]

Ericsyutubeaccount and mikesoccer11 you guys are nerdier than the anteater researcher... and this is coming from a huge nerd like myself.

Come on why don't you guys get yourselves a break?

Eric to back to your labs and Mike to back to your dirty jobs, this civilization works because of the idealistic erics and the realistic mikes coexists in a miraculous symbiosis. If we learned to behave cooperatively instead of competitively we would all live in a better world.

[katievhoneychurch]

@quelorepario

If we learned to behave cooperatively instead of competitively we would all live in a better world.

wow that is a profound thing you said.

[hollyurq]

awwkkwarrrdddd

[JudasChurchfire]

This is insanely depressing.

[mikesoccer11]

YesterdayNow!

Experts who did not study medicine, law, engineering, and/or business wasted their entire lives on bullshit

[ericsyutubeaccount]

@mikesoccer11 sounds like youre world wont have any oil or food or any other necessities and all ecosystems will just die

[mikesoccer11]

@ericsyutubeaccount

What world do you live in. Agricultural engineer, Petroleum engineer, all of those types of jobs, have engineering bases. Maybe your thinking forestry or something in that bullshit, but even if we didn't have oil, I would guess nuclear is the next big thing.Thank god for NUCLEAR engineering. Food is both the way you grow it and how you sell it for maximum profit, both engineering and business is used. Now get back to your marine study's.

[ericsyutubeaccount]

@mikesoccer11 just saying i would hate to live in that world, i dont think it would last 2 days, im not even going to go into all of it because i know someone like you could never understand

[mikesoccer11]

@ericsyutubeaccount

oh I see, so a world without marine biologist's and anthropology major's wouldn't last 2 days? If it weren't for humans ruining ecosystems in the first place, there would be no use for people like you. If we were just a little smarter, then you and your necessary jobs would be utterly, 110% pointless. There is no argument, so don't try to fool yourself thinking that you are important with your mediocre job and bullshit studies.

[ericsyutubeaccount]

well just to scratch the surface, in your world everyone would be retarded because there would be no teachers, and there will always be a need for scientists, even in an eutopian society, not just because the fact that humans will always be ruining the earth, but for the fact that its just pure human nature to want to expand their knowledge of things, look, i can tell youre probably still in school, so il give you the benefit of the doubt and il leave it at that so you can learn for yourself

[mikesoccer11]

@ericsyutubeaccount

Alright you caught me on the teacher part; I was pretty sure I added teachers and nurses into my original statement, but I guess I forgot to, my bad. But I still go by my original statement. I would really like to continue with this argument, but then I would have to say some mean stuff, but you are both right and wrong. Still, nothing would happened if all students who major in liberal arts, humanities, animal sciences, you name it, just disappeared, I can guarantee that.

[ericsyutubeaccount]

@mikesoccer11 so that would mean... there would be chaos and anarchy from lack of law enforcement, no regulation on how we use our resources, mass extinctions from lack of research wich would directly lead to the extinction of man, no food, no buildings from lack of maintanence work and construction, the list goes on and on and on, in fact you put business man on your list? in a eutopian society that would be the first thing we wouldnt need, there will always be a need for science

[mikesoccer11]

@ericsyutubeaccount you have very good points, but as I said before, most of those jobs have an engineering basis. It was my stupidity to not include law enforcement which is well needed everyday. Let me tune my original statement, which I developed more so through my last post. Liberal arts, humanities , and everything in between, like philosophy, dance, latin, communications, art history, poetry, reading/english/social studies, marine biology, astrology, arts, you name it, is bullshit.

[mikesoccer11]

@ericsyutubeaccount Those are college degree's, or life commitments you will spend a quarter of a million dollars on to earn none of it back. On the other hand, we have trades, which contribute to or society. The quote from the show Dirty Jobs helps sum it up, "without these uncivilized jobs, none have us would have civilized lives" or something to that nature. So let me make myself clear, LIBERAL ARTS, AND EVERYTHING RELATED, IS BULLSHIT. End if discussion.
