Iraf Iroos

[Orenotter]

Iraf was carved out of Iran and Iraq by people who were sick of violence and hate. The revolution was bloodless because nobody knew about it.

[ohjawillkommen]

Look at the state this country is in. 99.7% of Americans can't even point out Iraf on a map, while 110% can't pass basic math classes.

[Orenotter]

@ohjawillkommen

I must confess that I got into some trouble with a middle eastern storyline because I thought Iraf bordered Pianostan.

[flamingarse1]

@ohjawillkommen does that mean im not american ?

[ohjawillkommen]

@flamingarse1 Reports from your bed-side window indicate that you have your facial hair trimmed in the shape of a maple leaf. You're either part of the 0.3% of Americans and live in a border state, or you're Canadian.

[Bratcipheo]

"its ironic, because the white house has created a perfect situation, which is a problem"

[cronon94]

no what about irat, irad, iras, irag, irap, irab, iram, irar, iral, irav...

[yusiftheranger]

@cronon94 u forgot irac, iraz and many more

[ThePistolero909]

@cronon94 what about the beautiful iraa

[JonathanLindroos]

@cronon94 soon their turn will come my friend, soon their turn will come.

[myquill23]

This is a hit on us.. :-)

[Grisam95]

Liberating a country is fun, but the troops are needed elsewhere...

...like Marfur.

[MrBigEnchilada]

lol like marfur

[shadowC10ne]

"Liberating" a country is fun... as long as you're the one doing the "liberating".

[JedClampettJr]

LMAO... what a monkey humping retard !

[InsomniacOfTV]

Marfur. I wonder why there were no troops there... oh wait no oil.

[happymaskdude]

Dude, people in general are misinformed.

[2012singularity2012]

@happymaskdude Including you, right?

[happymaskdude]

@2012singularity2012  Why of course! :D

[happymaskdude]

@2012singularity2012  Why of course! :D Go President Biden! ...owait...

[tubestick00]

liberating a country is fun.... yuuuuussss

Dr. Steve Pieczenik & Alex Jones-FULL INTERVIEW (5-3-11) 

[computerjero]

I raf, I rose ?

[DomDollx]

marfur, haha darfur?? 

[DeadlyGrim]

You raff, you roose.

[Ma010S]

Marfur ? :D I maybe understood wrong = ))

[TheBrokenchalk13]

i know and love the onion but i dont rely get this one can some one explain to me why there using "iraf" itsrad of a real contry of sumthing

but i get evry thing els

[katsumorymoto]

@TheBrokenchalk13 it's done to exaggerate the level of impossibility for the story to have any legitimate connection to our reality. the purpose of the satire is to simply state (through sarcasm and pure imagination): "our presence in iraq was a total step in the wrong direction for that country's social stability".

[TheBrokenchalk13]

@katsumorymoto i know that i just don't understand why the said Iraf instead of Iraq?

[cenkiss2331]

@TheBrokenchalk13

To point how some americans are misinformed about world events.They don't even know the country they invaded.

Watch the other video of onion about america's aid to andorra because they thought it was a poor country.

[TCt83067695]

@cenkiss2331 mumu

[allwittynamestaken]

I'm sorry to be a such a political tight ass but a National Health Care system is considered "good" by the Onion? I hope they threw that in their to piss off Libertarians like me.

[OpTicxMoDz]

@allwittynamestaken What the fuck? TheOnion is a fake channel you dumb bitch... Jesus christ just shut the fuck up..

[MVA15SEAL]

Marfur lol!

[marine5546]

Nooooo.....not Marfur!!!

[Christianvirtue]

"The troops in Iraf are having so much fun, that they don't want to come home"

[MikeBA10]

I thought that Iraf was simply a typo at first 

[Ghettobusters2]

I have thousands of acres of prime real-estate in Iraf for sale.

Be one of the 1st to have a vacation spot in Iraf.

Also I will be making the largest theme park in Iraf. More movie stars will be investing in this,so why not you?

Do not miss out - Invest in real-estate in Iraf now.

[liberaldirtworshippe]

@Ghettobusters2 Oh! finally! I have been dying to build my vacation home in Iraf! I hear the firework shows are fantastical!

[marktsheppard]

this one nails it, the heartfelt political mutual interruptions, each one contributing to the other ones stimulating commentary... not giving the viewer a chance to catch on so the viewer will just accept that he's just not smart enough

[Redbishop613]

Love the last comment: our troops are needed elsewhere, like Marfour...

[algonquin91]

IRAF! too funny

[DynamicScherzo]

"Freedom rings throughout the land due to our recent invasion of the country"

Says it all. I love you, The Onion.

[EddieTheFishReturns]

Hey, she pronounced "Iraq" and "Iran" in an acceptable manner. Good on her!

[MrSafetymeeting]

@EddieTheFishReturns But she completely mispronounced Iraf.

[MonstahhB]

Phew, I was really worried about Iraf, but thank goodness everything is fine.

[111WLee]

BREAKING NEWS: CNBC AND FOXBUSINESS ANCHORS ARRESTED FOR ILLEGALLY ACCESSING PRIVATE EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS.

TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

[LittlePigglette]

Iraff, I ruse? D:

[InsanePickle007]

@LittlePigglette XD

[neonaction]

saddam is the most unlucky person ever. He got invaded and killed by W. but no WMD was found! wtf. Saddam got bullied

[Boostnitup]

@neonaction Tell that to the Kuwaiti's he murdered... and the UN which demanded he comply with the cease fire agreements his Iraqi General signed at the cease fire meeting.

[AngryScissor]

@neonaction lol Saddam Hussein also murdered Kurds. He didn't have WMDs, but he was certainly an evil motherfucker.

[neonaction]

@AngryScissor Bush is also an evil motherfucker. So was Cheney. They both ordered to torture prisoners, they ordered the killing of many civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[AngryScissor]

@neonaction I'm not talking about Bush though. You said Saddam Hussein was "unlucky." Regardless of who finally brought it to him, he got what was coming to him.

[neonaction]

@AngryScissor why shouldn't we talk about bush? You think all evil motherfuckers should deserve to die. Bush and cheney are evil motherfucker.

[AngryScissor]

@neonaction I don't want to talk about them because that's an old, old conversation. All I did was point out how silly it is to paint Saddam as a victim. That's all I wanted to do.

[phiphers]

Fox News has gone too far pulling countries out of their asses!

[MrTz3]

That would be an uber gay country

[Nick4563880]

@slurpiemeister everyone just assumed it was

[slurpymiester]

I'm surprised that no one claimed this is actually Fox News

[7777dmith7777]

IRAF my ass off when I saw this !!

[TheSneppen]

Notice the little white box at 0:47 under Duncans name. XD

[tafxkz]

there is always somebody in the comments who thinks this is real news

[schizoidchimp]

WHY ARENT THE LIEBERAL MEDIA REPORTING THIS

[InsanePickle007]

This video title is FAKE I made a total fool out of myself in the airport insisting for a ticket to "Iraf" I was so embarrassed.

[SicSolution]

@InsanePickle007 yeah what the hell!! if I cant trust the onion who else can I trust??

[heAdXsHotzz]

@InsanePickle007 you really didnt know there was no such country as Iraf...? -_-

[InsanePickle007]

@heAdXsHotzz of course i did..... You really didnt know i was joking? 

[heAdXsHotzz]

@InsanePickle007 well there are people that think the onion is real so you never know

[zatoichi12345]

God bless the Irafi people. A brave and proud group who took their country back.

[splattyfish]

Lmao genius.

[redd0ch]

wow. i didnt even know there was an Iraf. Glad we are on good terms with one country over there.

[nikoincroatia]

@redd0ch Dude, it's a parody

[FeralBlade]

@redd0ch lol

[viper909909]

hahaha this video is a joke but its about as accurate as the stuff you see on fox news XD

[curlymolly70]

An earthquake causes havoc in Etchesketchistan....

That makes me happy :)

[impregnatedcamel]

unfortunately, relations between Balestine and Jisrael appear to be worsening as struggles for dominance over the Paza Strip Club escalate.

[VelaToNorma7]

@impregnatedcamel lol Jisreal

[Calvert1212]

I just wish things went better in the Pay of Bigs, bless their souls;(

[overdressedunderage]

an hour of either fudge ice cream or volleyball? fuck this country, I'm moving to iraf.

[TheMrSpartanking]

@overdressedunderage I second that.

[XDXDXDXDXDXDXD]

I know that US-Israel relations are taking hits because of the arms treaty, but I'm glad relations with Misrael are still doing well.

[schafferkyle94]

Afzanistan is where the real help is needed,

[argozempo]

The U.S. shortsightedly focuses all of its attention on Iraf while extremists loom large in Irat.

[Thegreentide51]

notice how the location of the letter F on a keyboard is almost directly between those of Q and N haha

[therrydicule]

@Thegreentide51 You have to be on a qwerty to know that.

[keir193]

@Thegreentide51 i mean... KIND of... but not really...

[Demarchist]

FREE IRAF!!!

[jonnyjumpsalot]

lol rednecks in the presidency.... sad.

[bapyou]

Look: Just 90 miles away is the horrible country of Rubic's Cuba, which is a very complicated place to figure out. Some people go there and get it right away no problem. Others labor for years unable figure it out, the small island country remaining an enduring mystery. Just don't tell that to the CIA. (Or Hasbro.)

[ElveeKaye]

What about Elbonia? You hardly ever hear about Elbonia. It's like they want to sweep the whole affair under the rug!

[sweitzman5]

@ElveeKaye YES! DILBERT! YES! love the reference.

[baigandine]

It seems they have not made any Onion episodes since 2008?

[HaloPhreak117]

Er... There are all sorts from 2010... 

[HaloPhreak117]

@baigandine youtube.com/show/intheknow There are ones from 4/15/2010 there... youtube.com/show/onionnewsnetw­ork 4/12/2010 there... and youtube.com/show/todaynow 3/18/2010 here

[ashestoyoursoul]

@baigandine they've been making new ones for a long time

[mowgly3000]

They mean Kurdistan?

[therealmetroidmaniac]

It'd be funnier if they said Iraw, because w is next to q on the keyboard

[L00NGB00W]

It's funny because it's true. =)

[TheOverItFellow]

Iraf?! The big troubles are in Chimar, god. You people of the United Spades of Amerika.

[thisnameisabadname]

Just went to iraf and their water parks are amazing!!!!

[SK371]

Lol this was probably what George Bush had in mind in Iraq

[xxVampirePenguinxx]

Let's be reasonable, we didn't liberate Iraf looking for weapons of mass destruction, we were there for their eco-friendly power sources. I mean, with their surplus of wind turbines and solar panels, they nearly corner the entire world market for green power.

It's just another pathetic excuse for the government to lower energy prices AGAIN, just like they did with food after the Irafian farmers sent us all their surplus. It's time to wake up, people.

[marktsheppard]

@xxVampirePenguinxx best conspiracy/alarmist theory comment... I'm also outraged and support our Iraffian brothers, we will stand united... I will denounce my citizenship in protest and marry an Irafian princess

[Reaper006900]

they will call us god's after subway and wal-mart move in to town ... be patient it will come couple more trillion... just wait for it , almost here ,5 more minutes, its coming

[YoSS4ever]

This is soo fake! I know someone who knows someone from Iraf, and of course they don't wan't people to ''liberate'' them. Use your troops in Marfur where they are really needed!

[AJ121official]

Anyone know how to subscribe to one particular show of TheOnion, instead of all of their videos? (In the Know)

[lol101lol101lol10199]

LOL you must be dumb to think this is real. There is no country named Iraf, there is Iraq and then there is Iran but no Iraf. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about!

[breastinspector2]

this would have been a bit funnier if they made the misspelled letter one that was actually adjacent to a "q" or an "n" on a keyboard.

[Neverwishy]

@breastinspector2 f is between q and n on the keyboard

[Baldurpet]

I was always afraid of this; America did such an incredible job rebuilding Iraf that it's actually ten times better than America.

Iraf currently enjoys a 99.7% literacy rate, only 1% unemployment, completely free healthcare and Irafi scientists just won three Nobel prizes; out of which one in the field of "wow Iraf is just so, like, fucking awesome right now".

They proved that God exists, and that he isn't a tight-ass like he is in the Bible but rather a pretty cool lenient dude.

[hsadman2]

@Baldurpet Don't forget, they found the cures to HIV, Cancer, and hideousness.

Long Live Iraf!

[MrPivotPie]

@Baldurpet The scientist also figured out why Twilight it so fucking gay....

[kingricky71]

@Baldurpet i guess i know where to go when s**t goes down

[wrylie188]

@Baldurpet NEXT YEAR IN IRAF!

[Skybert89]

@Baldurpet Best comment ever. You are a genious.

[ozzykingofpigs]

nuke iraf

[oddvidios]

wtf iraf isnt even a real country. america is a bunch of douchbag

[Kurtplox]

@oddvidios this is called a SATIRE you fucking jackass, great job. Arrogantly insulting America while recklessly making ridiculous conclusions, you're soo intelligent. (<<<That was sarcasm, meaning that I don't actually mean it. Hopefully you will comprehend)

[oddvidios]

@Kurtplox fuck you moron

[oddvidios]

@Kurtplox im satiring people who say that stuff

[thegreatbrettano]

@oddvidios you retard its a joke ok it was not made to be real people like you are so fucking dumb

[CSRgamer]

@oddvidios

Your comment just made my day xD

[helenmont312]

What a piece of crap this video is!!!

[hakkai999]

what about morea?

[reinventnv]

Dude the waterpsrks are amazing 10 stories ..no lie!!!

[DrThunder88]

The Bush Administration also had great success in signing a no nukes treaty with West Korea.

[gerfall]

what about Irab?

[oddvidios]

@gerfall fuck you that was stupid

[gerfall]

@oddvidios Little late on the reply aren't you there buddy? that was over a month ago.

[Sonicblade128]

FREE MARFUR

[jbra755]

Iraf sounds like a great place to live!

[caitlinlyons]

lmao @ waterparks

[NobleHam]

The situation in Marfur is really tragic.

[AllSystems]

IRAF! Oh no! Another country I havnt heard of that needs saving. :D I love this channel

[MistahhB]

Oh dear god, The onion did it again. This is just too brilliant.

[FFFUUUCCCKKKEEEDDD]

Long live the proud people of Iraf

[codywtanner]

Im a current resident of irat, and if you decide to come visit, i own a 44 acre hotel, 33 stories, and i also own a small bookshop on bokalokadaka street. please enjoy this video of my neighbor iraf

[aaronchamness]

IRAZ FTW!

[bzzbt]

hahahaha

i dunno what to laugh at, the video or the stupid comments xD

[urinalbushrat]

This stuff is brilliant.

I was starting to wonder about America after the Australian KFC advert thing but this renews my faith in Americas ability to take the piss at themselves. Well done.

[12986553]

what about irab and irac and irad and irae and irag.... and iraz??

[aboodmatar]

Iraz is always forgotten :(

It gives us 88% of metal ores and we forget it :'(

[SecularTechnology]

LOL"Liberating a country is fun. but the troops are needed elswere.

[tgbotg]

isn't IRAF an astronomy tool? Image Reduction and Analysis Facility.. still funny to think there are waterparks in my computer.

[kevlonk]

In other news, diplomatic relations with Morth Borea remain excellent.

[pwbpub]

this is a huge problem...other countries will began, as said here, to want and greatly seek "liberation". I mean no country can resist gay pride marches and aqua-fun, so countries like china and russia could end up being potential nuclear threats beacause they want the "liberating revolution". This media channel should be banned for releasing such enticing(to other countries) info about the iraf' revolution.

[goldprospektor]

are you a retard???

[pwbpub]

@goldprospektor dude..i think you people are retarted for thinkin i was serious...i mean there's some stupid people..but that's thinking lowly of everyone..

[RedNifre]

Pwbpub:

Let me introduce you to the laws of youtube:

1. It is impossible to actually fake a comment that is so stupid, that it could not also be posted sincerely by a moron

2. Copy these laws to 50 other videos or your sanity will die in one hour.

[3ratt]

wow. Comments unbelievable.

[Fancysymbol]

lol

They just took the key in between q and n and put it on the end

5 stars and favorited, very nice

[BrokenBjartur]

omg this is fake haha wake up poeple iraf inst at contry haha omg people wake up

[ZechsMerquise73]

look at a map, noob

[killerslick]

It is a joke! you need to wake up.

[aboodmatar]

@Brokenbjartur

Wtf is wrong with you?

ONION news,you think this is real news??

WE KNOW ITS FAKE!!!

You really thougt we believed this??

Your brain is broken not bjartur.

[BrokenBjartur]

=P...

[wrylie188]

@BrokenBjartur You're kidding, right?

[mapleyort]

So ret me get dis straight...

Afganistan, you win.

Iraf, I ruse?

[crazymittenz]

xD

Well done, I wouldn't have thought of it

[soccerchuck8]

@mapleyort LMAO. i ruse.

[ISOhunt3r]

but the troops are needed elsewhere... like Marfur... hahahaha

[JohnyWindmill]

@ISOhunt3r yeah thanks i didnt get the last word but i knew i could rely on guys like you who quote a sentence from the video, put haha at the end and get alot of thumbs up. cheers!!

each civilisation has the right to evolve on its own. I'm sorry but I am absolutely against the invasion of Iraf...
