What would you ask Al Qaeda?

[LOADING1357]

Where is Osama Bin-Laden???I can haz 52 million dollars?

[sabog11]

this is just my opinion but his face reminds me of buzz lightyear from toy story. haha

[howcomeyousucksomuch]

wow what a Jon Stewart wannabe

heres a question for Al Qaeda:

How much did the US actually pay you?

[allahistrutth]

pure bollocks this is more rubbish from a wannabe celebrity ..no originality just a cunt

[jcrules54733]

pzottolo, you are so hilarious! lol lol hee hee, ha ha, yuck yuck. Love being able to get a laugh for the day. Thanks.

[LightedPaladin]

I like . I think it's funny! (english is not my first language by the way)

[Pazzur]

we are gonna show you where our number one guy is?

forget about it!

[ClarenceOlsen1]

RON Paul

[ZITZON]

How would you describe your friendship with G W Bush?

[baboomsam]

Are your writers on strike too?

[knony]

I think they've been on strike since March 30th, 2006.

[pzottolo]

LOL truer words were ne'er written :)

[djdamage514]

alright.. way to ruin a classic gangstarr song! lol :P

[spencer2800]

Truly unfunny. Bless

[mrkiii]

Ah Petah, Petah, Pet-ah... satire? Surely you've learned by now that satire draws you nuthin' by ire from both the hatahs and the globalists...

Far more importantly... can you simply NOT control all this egging on? I mean, really... "bananas", "sticking out" "HARDcore emo"... I mean, you really can't expect us to ignore subtetext?

But I digress... I'll go with ya, "YEA! Three Uzis for a nucalour Iran!"

It's scary!It's sexy! I', confused!

[vegetalordvegeta]

lol i got on and your views were 1337 uber leet!

[Amy31415]

I'd ask Al Qaeda where the fuck Osama bin Laden is, cuz I want to send him a present for Christmas.

[DonFamoso]

How much did the Bush administration pay you? Or how many guns did they supply you? Also how many weapons did they give to Saddam? How about that you killers. And all those soldiers who continue fighting for Imperialism are slaves and they KNOW IT!

[BorrowedWisdom]

I wonder why you don't have much more subs.

You deserve more viewers :)

Keep up the good work!

[katiesopinion]

Hi Peter :)

[dreamingofhersmile]

hmm good question, where is the love?

[astrophe1987]

I'd ask them where's the love guys? seriously.

[ReliableInsider]

I would ask Al Qaeda, do you have any tips on toppling out-of-control dictators who torture people in secret prisons, ignore writs of habeas corpus, who are attempting to privatize the handling of internal security, and who attempt to centralize all power in their own hands.

And who lift the names of things straight from English translations of Germany in the 1930s

[The Reichssicherheitshauptamt, Department of Homeland Security].

[Liz10000]

yeah bush is so contradicting. nothing new... :-(

[jetwerks]

it's ok Peter. We know it's all part of your strategery. :) jim

[BGenerous]

Ohh, the irony! LOL

[aproxxy]

someone called Bush a "walking paradox" & he thought he was being likened to a pair of shoes

[Destro7000]

Why do people have to pronounce it 'Nukular' when the spelling 'Nuclear' is so much easier and also, correct?

[pzottolo]

i know, it's what happens after watching too much bush footage :(

[Amy31415]

Carter did the same thing. Drives me nuts.

[BaDm0theR]

Peter: I think you would be a great addition on The Daily show or Colbert Report.

I'll have my people get with their people, and then reach out to your people.

;-)

[bostongirl97]

great video as always Peter :)

I gotta ask tho, why hasn't Jon Stewart picked up on the Peter Zottolo awesomeness and given you a chance on the Daily Show???

[KaiToTheN]

okay, i hate youtube's comment system -.-

that was a reply to animalmedicines' comment

[pzottolo]

oh duh.... :)

[pzottolo]

oops.  duh. sorry :)

[Sh4zor]

It's okay, we knew what you meant.

[jonokiller]

lol ask "where is bin laden."

[plumpspork]

i would soooo ask that too!

[bw123]

Why aren't you on the Daily Show?

[visiblemode]

I can see it now...Goodfellas, with an Al Qaeda twist. Great intro btw and sarcasm perfected.

[Sh4zor]

I think I liked the stuttering earth rotation better.

PS: France has done so well with "nukuler" power that they are a net exporter (seller) of energy.

[animalmedicines]

Well done Captain Obvious.

[Sh4zor]

Was this an attempt at an insult, at humor, or are you trying to impress your imaginary girlfriend?

[animalmedicines]

It was for your "exporter (seller)" comment.

[Sh4zor]

It's clear the issue is that you have no experience writing for people with diverse backgrounds. Otherwise you might understand such clarifications and wouldn't have to clarify your own statements, after the fact.

Hang in there animalmeds... communication isn't a strength for everyone.

[animalmedicines]

I think everybody reading these comments knows what an exporter is.

[Sh4zor]

animalmeds,

There's a word coming to mind... Hmmm... Ah yes, the word is ethnocentric. Perhaps you're not familiar with the concept of considerate communication.

[animalmedicines]

If English is your first language, you should know what exporters are. It's not a complicated word.

[Sh4zor]

animalmeds,

Thanks for deciding what people "should know" and for proving my point about being ethnocentric.

[KlaxonCow]

"If English is your first language..."

Well, there's your entire mistake, buddy.

This is the Internet. English is NOT the first language of everyone who uses the Internet.

And, to be frank, even for those to whom English is a first language, the degree of general illiteracy on the 'Net strongly suggests that you DO need to clarify terms such as "exporter".

[jcrules54733]

Hey, I have a grrrrrate id-er. Go to the orginal country from which you learned your original language and enjoy the net. I mean, that's your right. Isn't it? I mean it's my right to watch videos in my English speaking country that speaks Engish. Ain't that amazing?

[dearestsarah]

i understood what he was referring to...

[KaiToTheN]

it's not okay to steal jokes

[JXintheZ]

Haha!

Nice News!

[righthandgenius]

I would ask what hes REALLY hiding inside that beard.....

awesome vid. awesome-vi-d...?

5*

[BigStupidFingers]

France is like 70% nuclear powered as a whole.

[hectorste1]

hahahahhaha.. i hate bush!!!!

[TankCarl]

Hello,Peter.

Of course Al Qaeda won't answer the obviuos question:

Where are you.and will you hold still for a sec?

As for Iran's nuclear program,the United States should adopt a destroy on attack footing.

Any nation which attacks us with nuclear weapons,will be totally destroyed by the US.Every living person in that nation's borders.

Oops,voices in my head,gotta go...

[BigStupidFingers]

I got news... the second a nuke is fired off, every nation that has one will also fire it. If this happens... we're F'ed.

[ogier1]

Al-Qaeda doesn´t accept YouTube-vid-questions...? WHOA, wtf.... O_O

[proffmongo]

My thought was to purchase the Uranium from Iran and then we could have more Nucler power plants. Then we could be trapped into buyimg and relying on Iran for energy just like we are trapped into buying oil from Saudia Arabia!!! Woo Hoo!!!

[KlaxonCow]

Well, I think unintentionally, you've just hit on the problem with this "nuclear power is our saviour" line.

Nuclear power uses Uranium as fuel. Uranium is a rare resource (thankfully - as it's highly radioactive) that only naturally occurs in places like Russia, the Congo, Australia, etc.

Nuclear fission is, just like fossil fuels, a one-way process and the fuel is finite.

The estimated amount left - at current rates of usage - is about 90 years.

[KlaxonCow]

It's a nice "delaying tactic". But a permanent solution it is not, because it's finite.

So it'll run out. And when it runs out, what are we going to do then?

I mean, we got ourselves into this current mess because we exercised NO FORESIGHT whatsoever. Shall we stop repeating our mistakes again and again?

They say the definition of insanity is when someone keeps trying to do the same thing again and again, hoping to somehow get a different outcome.

[tmacc]

lolol nice

[spikerkid]

you fixed the opening! :)

[tastysurprise]

Personally I liked it better when it was jittery. Looked cooler and had a comedic "budget-looking" aspect to it.

[Zhaboka]

blame me, lol. COLBERT'S COMING BACK! PRAISE ALLAH!

[JimmerSD]

NEW-CLEAR!!!!

[pzottolo]

i know...that's what happens when you listen to bush too much, it rubs off :)

[JimmerSD]

Sorry, that's what I scream at the TV every time I hear Bush mangle the language. Force of habit.

[qtonic]

I thought Jon Stewart was off the air?

[superdave1001]

Best NOTD ever. Keep up the great work.

[tastysurprise]

Fantastic humorous insight! Loved this one!

Don't worry about the nitpickers who don't realize it's entertainment and not a thesis on Iranian clean energy.

[pzottolo]

i'm too unintelligent to properly analyze the intricacies of politics, but i can smell irony fairly well :)

[erma12879]

I think I would ask hkwo they  maintain their stunning facial hair in such a harsh, sandy milieu.

[EvilMongrelMonkey]

Moral equivocation just does not work... no matter how you people try and spin it. Iran has the second largest natural gas reserves in the world... if they wanted clean energy like they're saying they want, they could reform the natural gas with solar and hydro-electric power and use the hydrogen for fuel cells.... they want Nuclear weapons. Trying to compare that scumbag nation to the US not only betrays your ignorance, but it shows you are not a supporter of real freedom.

[pzottolo]

you're missing the point. while i can't say with any certainty that iran wants/doesn't want nuclear weapons, i find it incredibly amusing and ironic that the dude that wants to warn the world about a madman getting too much power, is currently such in the eyes of most of the world. now THAT'S funny.

[Blargaldalien]

But,our mad man will be out in Jan 2009

[ogier1]

But the pandora-box he opened will remain :-/

[KlaxonCow]

Natural gas is mostly composed of methane. Which is a far worse greenhouse gas than carbon.

The amount of hydrogen sulphide - from which you could most easily extract hydrogen for fuel cells - is minuscule.

So, once they've extracted the hydrogen, what exactly do you propose they do with the rest of it, containing all that greenhouse methane?

[KlaxonCow]

And if it's such a fantastically good idea then why don't we do this with the natural gas we have?

Because we don't, you know. Not a sausage of what we have is "reformed" like you've suggested.

Why aren't we reforming our entire fossil fuel infrastructure to do this ourselves, if it's such a damned good idea?

[KlaxonCow]

Surely what's good for the goose is good for the gander, yes?

They should do it because it's such a really good idea, but we shouldn't because it isn't?

So is it a good idea or isn't it?

It can't be both.

[KlaxonCow]

p.s. You call Iran a "scumbag" nation.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong on that, but could you please supply me the evidential basis on which this judgement has been made?

I might be persuaded to agree with you, if you could give me the specific details of what Iran has actually done to earn the title "scumbag nation".

[KlaxonCow]

Iraq started the Iran-Iraq war (backed by America supplying weapons to Saddam), so that was a defensive action on Iran's part.

And, as far as I know, that is the only war they have ever been involved with since the Islamic revolution.

Is this incorrect?

[KlaxonCow]

What else do you know about, that is bringing you to this "scumbag" assessment?

Besides that they are Muslims. Because that's not a crime, of course, and many other nations are Muslim.

I mean, you've determined this yourself, right, according to the evidence and are not just blindly regurgitating black propaganda without any actual basis for believing it, yeah?

So surely it's a perfectly reasonable question.

[LtShock]

ahaha this was great to watch. I missed the "news of the day"

[goldenpizza]

nice work Peter.

[orcman2]

lol.

[JasonMelancon]

Nice to have a sheet of paper thrown my way again! Great episode, man.

[thomasbobs16]

haha, thank god for that

you're hilarious but that old intro was annoying with its jumpyness...but it turns smoothly now! WOO!..I'll stop

more wickid news

[Jayder845]

That was really annoying me too. :P

[Bpslave]

your so the man well half man half jon stewart?

[pzottolo]

i am not 1/64 that man. actually i was shooting for rhea perlman, but thank you :)

[Blargaldalien]

Well,Danny Devito would be about a third?
