What IS Happiness?

[MrRuggedboy27]

money in and itself doesnt stand for anything, it is the means to something, but then what can u buy with it, that will make u happy for a sustained period of time? everything in this world is perishable and so are u, in Islam we say to acquire knowledge and implement it is happiness :) peace

[something42244]

GOTTA LOVE THE LADY AT 2:30 OOPS I MEAN 3:20

[InfinityDz]

Some people are happy just by being alive, as if it's supposed to be a blessing or something. I think being alive is not always a gift. I'd be better off just sleeping forever in uncounsciousness, never aware of any existence of any kind.

But I like the green guy too xD

[ewebb16]

Man, that young couple are shallow. Money money money money money money and money is on their minds. The green dude's right, if you're alive and ultimately unhappy, something's wrong with you. Imagine all the people who never got to be alive. You are. Be happy!

[Reboothis]

"Are you happy?"

"I'm alive!"

lol

[JohnnyBoy933]

look at the sign behind the couple lol...

[guitarhero666759]

there is one god, and when he sees that we're simply trying to please him, no matter what your faith, then he will reward you accordingly, because you're doing what he says. Even i can't stand closed minded christians. That guy in the green, has pretty much got it down, happiness comes from within, not the external environment. Money won't make you happy, world famous, big rockstar mcjagger wrote a song called "can't get no satisfaction" lol

[fourlokoJoker]

ignorant religious loony

[1haidershah]

cus of my girlfriend, shes over there, she sells peanuts ^^

[Anaahushak]

0:50 there is one God. respect that

[1000jamesm]

i love the bald guy.

[ranel63]

haha! Love the "the people with Allah are doomed" then "There is only one God!" Well, yeah, and Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believes in the God of Abraham, one God. That wont change even the media screams the opposite! Anyway, be HAPPY everyone!! Salam!

[PocketMonsterKawaii]

being poor! xD

[qpRedPoisonqp]

gay black dude lolol

[qpRedPoisonqp]

that guyt with the green shirt is a pedooooo!!!!!

[gto2292]

That bald guy's pretty cool in the way he represents his happiness =D

[DrCarl]

2:46

Adult Toys & DVD... guess that makes some people happy...

[shootifyoucan]

50 people think they need money to be happy

[Spongefreak89]

Do you have a million dollah? haha i love that!!!

[professornizami]

do you have a million dollars? best part

[brosauce69]

Answer me ONE question. how fucked up is it that wayyy to many dumb people think that money can make you happy????

[HardCoreProgrammer1]

having the money to hire a prostitute every weekend would make me happy

[professornizami]

@HardCoreProgrammer1: Make sure to use condoms lol

[thahab4]

so the key of happiness is..... BEING POOR!!! hahaha i loved that

[theciskokidd]

Wages of sin is death. What a fucking racket. The bible is full of so much bullshit I can't fucking stand it. Yeah so I f I live a PERFECT life and NEVER sin I live forever? Wake the fuck up you religious freaks! You are being brainwashed!!!!

[Pomiferous]

@theciskokidd Guess you go with the John Lennon perspective of happiness being a warm gun.

[lupefiascofan13]

enjoying what you love to do everyday, idk ...

[AKAOJ]

You know what would make me happy. If i had all the money in the world, so i could set it all on fire.That's what i think of your stupid human money.

[MANJUICEIFY]

0:30 fucking religious maniac

[lordrazi111693]

wow. nobody said attitude.....

[MikaMeMe]

'what else makes you happy?' 'children' lololollll.

[lersove]

HEY woman in strip clothes in 0:52 we can believe in any religions!U R NOT QUALIFIED TO TELL US WHO SHOULD WE BELIEVE IN!WE BELIEVE IN OUR OWN SO SHUT UP WOMAN

[simpsonsguy22]

happiness is a cigar called hamlet, the mild cigar.

[skcmz628]

"It's not havin' what you want - it's wanting what you've got..." 

[mrwerevamp]

Happiness is not happeness... it is how you control your emotional state on what happens. Shit happens, but you cant cry over spilled milk (or bp oil spill) instead channel your energy towards helping out with the cause by volunteering or donating. Overcoming the greed is a key element towards true happiness. I believe the power of giving reveals ones happiness because the happiness is satisfied from within so theres nothing else but to share it. Super heroes are loved for their act of care!

[AfroManSammy]

happiness is a feeling... joy is a choice.

[666789443]

The key to happiness is... being poor! Haha that was a great ending. I love your videos!

[EdgarBeja]

Happiness is the natural state of our being independent of external circunstances. The thing is that we´re created by wolves in a society that is constantly telling you that you need to buy this and that in order to be happy. So many years earing this, we got ourselves hipnotized by that idead and is very difficult to get back to our real selves.

[Imseeingstarz1]

Money isnt happiness,I always thought it'd make me happy but when I came across a large sum of it, nothing. I eventually grew weary of things and lost interest. Neither is sex, it's more of a natural instinct and just feels pleasurable. But as soon as it's over i'm back to my same stagnat mood. Drugs were just a temporary solution for the emptiness In my life, I knew it wasnt happiness, they just made me not care.Luv maybe?I believe love is a rare occurence only a few peple r lucky 2 experience.

[SILEXon]

GO THE GREEN SHIRT GUY!

[pga128]

happiness is when you find something better than sex

[doublem2008]

Good luck in everything = true happiness

[peterwangdi]

sometime i think i am happy but sometime i am not.

no one want to suffer but they do no matter how rich you are,

no one want to be old but one day they will,

no one wants to die but they do, with all these problem, do you think you are happy?

the happiness what we get is all temporary and wont last much,

everything is related to an object.

i still didn't get what is happiness?

Right now i just finished my degree and i am on my way to find happiness."wish me luck".

[Christianvvv]

I believe happiness is subjective... majority speaks for the bald man in the green.

[Hamadm6311611]

The lady at 3:22 is FABULOUS!!! I love her so much.

[djinfinity08]

''im happy cusz uhm my girlfriend over there sells peanuts ''

lmfa0o 2:00

[videogoatbird]

Time is happiness because time is money and money can buy love because love is casual sex.

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

"being poor!" that guy was right for me, i now have nothing in the bank and i feel happier somehow, its like a fresh start, knowing you have nothing to lose, well, apart from my life and my freedom :P

[Cameron32391]

I think the guy who seemed to have the best ideal about happiness was the bald guy in the open green shirt even though he said a total of 5 words

[jackuy12345]

i am not happy when ppl with a microphone that come up to u and ask u random questions.....

[patrickisready]

As long as I'm still able buy a quarter pound CHEESE BURGER, SUPER large FRIES, with MILK SHAKE then I'm HAPPY--Even though I need to lose 85 pounds, but the next time.

[Ulsterfree]

I agree, the guy in green is spot on, yet a very cuddly relationship with the resident would be bliss!!!!!!!

[gabumonfanclubx]

@Ulsterfree right on ha ha.

[july071992]

i guess the bald guy in green is an undiscovered genius...

[dstone2004]

Happiness is a warm gun.

[wergrethe]

that's a good question, what is happiness? happiness is happiness.

[SnapeSoul]

Laughing and smiling aren't really "happiness" for me. I LIKE stress, hard work, and effort that make me angry, tired, and depressed. ;P I don't want life to be easy. *sighs* That's just boring. I need deep happiness. By that, I mean I need an ultimate, overarching goal that I'm always aiming for. Temporary happiness is pointless. It's like getting distracted for a bit...*rolls eyes*...distractions are annoying. xP I need time to think.

[bustercapp]

sounds like a workaholic?

[poztpwned]

Happiness is MDMA. mhmmm

[shortsy14]

the guy in the green is a genius!!!! and the woman talking about religion is correct in a way but i believe u can be other religions and be happy, u just need to be a faithful person....but my favorite answers r from the guy in the green shirt chewing gum

[NastyDHL]

this is a great, great video!

i love everybody's different personalities and perspectives. The one dude in the green seemed kind of creepy but his views were on the 'money'. Also, the one chick who talked about loving yourself had alot of good points. Ya can't really love anyone else until you love yourself, because the love has to come from somewhere to be spread, and we tend to block it by being too hard, and unforgiving on ourselves.

[grizzlybear019]

DO YOU HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR? do you have a million dollars? DO YOU HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR? do you have a million dollars? NO why you gonna give it to me?

[rob92410]

i feel sad that people think money sex food friends and shopping makes poeple happy.

"its when you lose everything that makes you happy" fight club(book)

[Jez2008UK]

Yeah, that sort of person, needs to exist in this world because we can't all be the same, but she is just soooooo off the scale of knowing what true deep fulfillment (and happiness) is.

[America2France]

HAHA! The cute kid at the beginning that said, "Toys!"

[homerilias]

A proper amount of all the things together wich makes a person happy: Money, love, friendship, freedom, health.... And less of all the things together that make unhappy: Stress, needs, ...

[swiitzerland]

@homerilias

SOME stress can give you quite a good feeling. As if your life is packed full of things and you'll always have DONE a thing.

[NastyDHL]

money does NOT make anyone happy, but it prevents stress, worry, anxiety, and panic by giving people security...

appreciation makes people happy

[empirequeen]

money rules everything, even emotions... what a sucky world :)))

[lightSleeper11]

Oh, and the chick who's man gives her good lovein in all the right ways.... :)

[lightSleeper11]

I tend to agree with the bald guy with his shirt unbuttoned, the guy in the wheelchair, and the old philosopher at the end..... and If "money" is the key to happiness; the whole world is doomed. Money is the key to greed! and greed is a full time job, leaving no room for happiness.....

[kingzidane]

this interviewer chick seems pretty cool.

[loveweezy3]

"Do you have a million dollars", ahahha epic:)

[Reneg53]

Ugh the dude with the open shirt is so pedo

[cannuckistan]

If you always focus on what you don't have or on what you're not, then you'll be unhappy. Count your blessings instead...it works.

[Andreea2707]

i love this video ,,,,,, it put a big smile on my face :D

[FlyingChair42]

"Bein' poor!" Damn fucking right. Him and that bald white dude got it right.

[FlyingChair42]

Ok, I dunno if he's white >_> but the guy at 1:13.

[NycAttentionWhore]

where is this? brooklyn?

[silentthriller]

Do you have a million dollars? lol. That was grand!

[onlyeightpsi]

"she sells peanuts"

[Puddyduckles]

Perspective and appreciation are the keys to happiness... and with that it doesn't matter what you have, and even what you don't.

[GETTINGTOKNOWSHYRA]

Great video! I posted it in my wordpress blog named Shyra today. The link is on my channel. Thanks for the wisdom!

[rickey2b4]

00:29

that dumb black bitch that there is one god, and people that dont follow that god will die right, she also said that follows of islam will also die, that makes her dumb because both christians and muslims believe in the same one good

[MocroNL]

Lol true ahhahaha.

[appa609]

lol

[qolspony]

Life is the first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to happiness. So the hispanic guy (1:13) had the best answer. Most of the others are just fake. The two black girls who said shopping make them happy just turns my stomach. There is more to life than shopping and this brings up a much bigger issue. Do you think those flood victims in the midwest was thinking about money when that flood hit? NO! They were thinking about survive, which equates life.

[MissBlueEly]

The only thing that money can't buy it is Love..this is my opinion. Some ppl are very naive and they really belive that money can buy happyne's. Life is how you make it.If you want to be happy you can be even with a little.;)

[sjg2]

at 2:39 look at the sing in back ground

adult dvd and toy

lol

[DragonSlayre]

ha! you have to be christian to be happy... That makes me happy just thinking about how dumb that lady is

[rattaplan]

It's all relative. The richer you become the more you want/need to feel happiness. It's an endless road and you'll miss everything if you only look ahead to what is coming. Try to enjoy what you have in the here and now every once in a while. A cliché perhaps, but true.

[121Sarah009]

Omg, the guy on 03:13 has BOOBS!! :O

Dude what the hell? :P

[HaoSci]

So the key of happiness is --- BEING POOR!!

What?

[tilllt]

those americans always have to prove the worst prejudices to be right. great!

[sonnyjandu]

Fuck that stupid lady saying that people of other religions cannot be happy. That's why a lot of Christians piss me off!

[karrrmaaa]

money has nothing to do with happiness. but u gotta have love and some sort of comfort that is not blinding but healing. i am still trying to figure it out for myself but i gotta add i have always been poor (i am 20) but it never mattered until i came to USA...

[ibrokamel]

yeah i agree with thompsonseedless...the guy with the green open shirt looks like he's on crack..he's happy cause he's ALIVE! haha that was funny

[LadyTressa]

It is sad that the lady does not understand that "Allah" is the arab word for God...and is not a different God than...GOD. There is one God and that is God (English), Got (German), Allah (Arabic)...and so on. :-) Education is the key!

[brokenlenspro]

TOYS! lol! good topics.

[impete82]

wow..... that lady at 0:28, wow, i thought people like that were only in the movies (like jesus camp and the root of all evil?)

[uynonymous]

There is no constant happiness. It is depend on what enviroment u r in.

[6070505]

i cant tell u exactly whats happniess. but ican tell u that NO SEX = NO HAPPINESS jaaa

[summer991]

In my life, i believe happiness is always to be a work in progress and to always improve myself spiritually, physically, and mentally.

[strokesfan1107]

hah, the last guy made me laugh really hard

[crazyazzmonkey]

My muscles make me fell happy, all 235 pounds of them.

[ThompsonSeedless]

that children-make-me-happier guy is a tad creepy

[Sam8174]

happiness is jesus ?? what is she on about. different people differnt choices . u cant say happiness is only jesus u wacko.!!

[ralcus]

happiness is a welcome symptom of finding meaning

or

a warm gun

:-)

[BALANCE94015]

HAPPINESS IS NO CHILD SUPPORT!!!

[edguy69]

RON PAUL 2008

[daisy871116]

i like ur videos.They are very critical thinking.well done!!

[roseart25]

it seems like the poorest man is the one who is happiest he does not even care about money while others do. Isn't that an indication of happiness independence of money :-)

[chaseman12]

you just get cuter and cuter. Stop it!

[thatrealness]

Just to let u know MONEY will NOT get you endless happiness. It will improve your living conditions such as a better house, cars, t.v., and other material goods, but everyone around you will be JEALOUS. New money = making new friends. The most messed up ppl. in the world are the rich ones. Happiness is something different......

[MosesHall84]

whore

[Fuzzbuggy]

happiness isnt really a result of money but it makes the journey to happiness alot easier...im not a stoner promise...

[bhdriller]

It makes me shudder to hear people equate money with happiness. Money gives physical comfort but not happiness. Some confuse the stupor of love with happiness. But the happiest moments of my life were as a dirt poor musician, in my solitary room, writing songs.

[Tonyiz]

Happiness is having theresident chick nude in front of me, a fifth of gin, and hendrix playing in the background.

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

I really enjoyed this one!!! Great job!! Love BUCK

[FrogGodbee]

man when is she gunna pop out a titty ?

[flashcat]

I think the bald, shirtless guy sums it up best.

[ahmedkhan1]

lol.. i dont mean to be immature but pause on 3:14 and look in the background......"adult dvds and toys for sale".....lol...cracked me up...

[xpolandzfinestx]

lol yeah i thought i was the only person who noticed that

[Heidiscope]

Are u a reporter??. .lol. .seriously u must be cause your great at it. That guy in the green shirt and the guy in the wheel chair really suprised me, they nailed it. Money doesn't bring happiness and i can say that because i'm broke. .LOL. .BUT i'm happy!! :-)

[pierre766]

I love you resident...finally you come up with good topics..and you deliver great parts. You're adorable...adorable !!!!

[shb00]

god shes hot!!!

[ChrisTheGay]

She needs me to dress her right! Come check out my channel! Chris the Gay (239) 464-6924

[joshharris12345]

I like your videos keep up the good work. Happiness is assisting others in there life. Giving and recieving. Thank you for doing this.

[wtmcgehee]

Happiness is a few steaks on the grill w/ chicken wings. A few beers and good company w/ guitars.

[iLLjusNeedaLilCrisco]

lolz!

[clayp72]

Money can bring happiness if you help others in need with it like childrens' charities but help American charities first. Happiness to me is health, family and freedom.

[pabloypachu]

The best answers: The bald guy and the one in the chair.

[asolis80]

i agree

[Maddog81182]

Happiness is a self thing. If people want to be happy they can be. Money can't buy you happiness as they said, but it can make you more comfortable!! LOL!!

[MaxSachs]

hundreds of thousands of white women, men and children? dude you can't be serious. besides, you say that racial separation is the only humane solution so why are white people always leaving their homes to other territories and 99percent of the time just causing trouble? check the history that they wrote and continue to write. muslims aren't coming to America to kill people, white soldiers are, blacks didn't come to America whites went to Africa and kidnapped them.

[budatress]

if being poor makes you happy, then debt should make estatic!

[mrgreen205]

the bald guy looks like hes about to karate chop you in the head and climb up a tree with you and have his way! listen i could be dirt poor all i need is my baby. plus all money dose is complicate things once you have it you still need more of it you abuse it till your wrose off then you were before

[aadmchau]

i absolutely love that bald guy.

[arbrarbr]

The bald guy is really right on!

[polarmagneto]

Happyness is the intellegent use of passion

[deweys]

LMAO at the creep who said children make him happy!

[oppositronic]

word 'em up, G

[kastanza108]

excellent

[Wiky100]

Fantastic video, thank you.

[iwbluwig]

this video is deep on so many levels, I love it!

[edbrown100]

It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you have. ...and people you love / who love you as you are.

ps: love me some 'the resident'

pps: oh, and ignorance is happiness.

[elisabeth2011]

Do you have a million dollars? Do YOU have a millia dolla? Do YOU have a million dollars? Do You have a millia dolla? Are you gonna give it ta me? Oh, God, soooooo funny.

[erdal0]

haaha i want to say something

first of all take off your clothes and do the cha cha and secondly some blowin from you would make me happy

or some b*nging on your bottom and yes

[xrainbowxcloudsx]

"Do you have a million dolla?....are you gonna give it to me" looool

[asolis80]

ha ha, that would make me happy, but only for like 5 minutes...

[dyehardd]

Money can buy happiness, but it can't buy you love.

Thank's Paul

Great video, that question shows what people are really like.

[accidit]

that was very interesting as a social study... i think money can be very satisfying and pleasing, but not necessarily a route to happiness ;]

[Room84]

Haha that end part being POOR!!! got my a good laugh, why did the guy with the green shirt and no undershirt look so crazy?

[rickb161]

A Naked Resident video would make me happy!

[sonone777]

lol

You don't actually want to know what happiness is, you wanted material for a vid. :)

i like that bald dude chewing the gum...and the old guy... "being happy with what they have now... that's the key"... he's right, even if a little philosophical. :P

[mohoganybrwn]

very nice vid. made me smile :)

[susuemikado]

This is very good.

[irusin]

the key to happyness is BEING POOR! hehe that made me laugh :)

[mybigwhiteballz0]

Ummmmmm. Yeah Christians, Muslims, and Jews all worship to the same God. They just have a different way of worshipping.

[ReinaDelCid]

This was really very interesting; thanks! :-)

[MistaMagic52]

The problem is that people are so selfish and materialistic. If you treat everyone else like crap, well, you reap what you sow and it'll come back to you. It's no wonder so many people aren't happy. First you've got to learn to respect yourself and to respect others. People need to stop thinking that kindness = weakness, or like it's too much to ask to give once in a while or let someone else go first, etc. It all comes back to you in some form or another.

[lynxeyedlykos]

that guy who said children make him happy is probably a pedophile rapist O_o

[lynxeyedlykos]

jk, that guy seems like a good person

[Luggagebag]

I've had the privelage of watching many of your'e videos and I am very impressed. This video in particular showcases how knowledgable, and mroe importantly wise and philosophical everyday people on the street can really be. If Jay Leno showed this instead of Jaywalking, i think we would have alot more respect for our fellow American. Of course a few people were a little off (in my opinion) but the others made up for them.

[elbarto0606]

i feel sorry for those who only can think in money... "shopping, a millon dolars, money". Wath a limited view and pespectives of life is.

[ALxndrSolonik00]

my best friend's happiness is what brought me happiness. then i lost my best friend. now i'm shit out of luck.

[zm0985]

Great video!

[smurfsunite]

I've watched a few of your videos and I now see their greatest appeal. It's the pearls of wisdom in unassuming packages.
