[kryptic127]

Please for the love of all that is awesome make another season of bullshit one of the best shows ever.

[toSTONEiGO]

heres the magic trick he was talking about

/watch?v=1nwW28coR84

[computergeek836]

@shadowkin the same reason why non-erect penises aren't censored on television.

[shadowkin]

Why do they censor everything except the "fuckin" at 30:32? lmao

[hrdlxs]

Teller is just the puppet master. I love the feel he gives towards the audiences. Pen is just an awesome character

[Dominoes282]

Those bleeps.... MAKE EVERYTHING SO MUCH BETTER HURRDURR. Jeez do they even know who the audience is. Anyways thanks Penn and Teller for taking your time to answer some awesome questions. GO REDDIT!

[alex93md]

I enjoy them.

[uwait]

fucking bleeps get on my tits

[wgszpieg]

that's the veryDisco channel

[RakshasaCat]

The best punk of Bullshit was when they put Maddox on the show, and took him seriously when he dissed old people as smelly and disgusting.

[chorridus13]

@RakshasaCat lol yeah, I agree.

[BatmanOneOhOne]

I really liked Penn & Teller's show, BullBLEEP.

[theredscourge]

I agree with most of what these guys say, but as a chiropractic patient who went with a numb hand and greatly reduced strength that was making it difficult to use my mouse, I know it has benefitted me. The key is to have one who knows what theyre doing, and first be sure you ACTUALLY have a spine or nerve issue. If you are going for something else, you're stupid or being conned. You know who else can con you or be shitty at their jobs? Dentists, Mechanics, Doctors, or basically anyone else.

[adam31178]

you guys are ....words cant show how i feel. i wanted to say that .....weird how he stairs at you and its like he's the puppet master to a puppet..... IDK just wanted to point that out.

[ajenglish]

19 chiropractors watched this.

[theLiZaRdFiLmS]

Why the fuck is this censored?

[adam31178]

@theLiZaRdFiLmS 30:33

[MrROTD]

15:08 LOLZ at Teller

[MrROTD]

I'm glad to hear Penn admit they were wrong sometimes, Bullshit is pretty good but wrong in few places. I can't stand people that pretend to be right at all times, no-one is perfect thats why I like Penn. he's a genuine and real person who has the balls to share his beliefs

[YourDailyLaughz]

Lol he ridiculed David Blaine so well.

[magicmike323]

That hose trick would have been awesome.

[MrVinushka]

"Out of the 9 acts that won, 8 were really perplexing - one got by one weasel-words"

That "one" was definitely those "Victorian-style gents" who did an absolutely pitiful trick and only got away with it by semantics and deliberately planting something to cause Penn & Teller to guess wrong at first (they're only given one chance, I think). I fucking hated them, it was a terrible and obvious trick. Penn & Teller unfortunately fell for the misdirection (not the good kind).

[stealthyjun]

why does Pen have only one fingernail painted?

[legerde2]

@stealthyjun in honor of his mom.

[wolfchicgalpal]

@stealthyjun his mother once told him that all magicians should keep their hands looking pretty, so as a joke he painted them all red and then stuck with just the one as a tribute to his mother who recently passed away

[ArthurD3nt]

"Would you say 'ractorus'?"

NO he wouldn't say anything 0_0

[Lius525]

25:00 lol very gay

[TheFrankHedden]

I have 4 chiropractors in my immediate family and I can honestly say they're all very smart and kind people and very good at what they do, which they don't believe is a scam and neither do I but that's beside the point. It's like police officers. 99% of police officers give the 1% a bad name.

[xrecoil1]

@MikeDabaze your wrong its "in the knee" everyone else is wrong with the "to the knee"

[nex]

WTF Reddit? You have no business censoring P&T. This is unbearable. Well, OK, _almost_ unbearable. This is P&T, so of course I'm still going to watch it. I'll just flinch at every beep and curse you assholes.

[StructuralDefect]

4:20 I used to do card tricks, then I took an arrow in the knee.

[lovetownsend]

@StructuralDefect

please shut the fuck up, the arrow joke was never funny....:)

[StructuralDefect]

@lovetownsend

Suck my dick, You'll enjoy it.

[MikeDabaze]

@StructuralDefect and if you're gonna do it, do it right. its "to the knee" not "in the knee"

[StructuralDefect]

@MikeDabaze

lul MikeDabaze face to the knee.

[MikeDabaze]

@StructuralDefect face to the face

[StructuralDefect]

@MikeDabaze

I'm straight bro

[SolitaryDarkness3]

9-43 i just love the fact that Teller just does that one little move and Penn knows exactly what he means with it =D-

[DeathtoRaiden1]

If you have headphones on you can totally hear him whispering.

[MasterOctagon]

damn... i love these guys, they find bullshit in everything

[DJMOJO85]

31:08 You win lose, you some some... >_>

[MrMatthewpanda]

why does penn have a red nail on his left hand, ring finger?

[ArtemusWolfwood]

@MrMatthewpanda They actually delve into that on Penn Jilette's wikipedia page. Makes for some good readin'.

[MsOutspokenOutcast]

I miss Bullshit. That was one of my favorite shows... T_T

[MrBakura91]

Whoa I wondered why they didn't do $cientology!

[GreenGearMood]

TELLER STFU.

Jesus.

We can't take you anywhere.

[ArtofRuin19]

those shirts scream night at the roxberry great vid guys

[MrPantshirt]

Teller holds the record for most time spent in silence on TV.

Like a boss.

[195ashes]

I wish Teller would stop interrupting Penn.

[CaptIntrepid]

Is is really necessary to censor Penn's speech?

[Stradivarius8457]

Censoring stuff on Youtube videos? What is this, basic cable?

[OsxinBraveheart]

I think Penn put his beard on side-ways... It's crooked.

[Zelos2210]

Penn and Teller destroyed the booms whilst practicing the water trick :D

[Turtlepig22]

Dammit Teller! Shut the hell up!

[veipper]

>reddit

Nope.avi

[vajuralla]

Fuck egoraptor these guys are awesome no matter how I got to the video.

[Hahajejeje]

finally something interesting egoraptor

[apanst]

Reddit sucks.

[bestfpsfranchaise]

I'm only here because of Egoraptor.

[TEHL33MONESS]

@bestfpsfranchaise I'm here because of Penn and Teller.

...And Egoraptor.

[Zoloe]

@bestfpsfranchaise Funny how that works isn't it? lol

[averymoss9]

love the honesty and humbleness :D

[heyandy889]

Who the fuck censored this?

[ErniesLament]

"POOPASAURUS REX"

[sdhu]

I like how the whole interview is censored, most prominently at 30:13 when Penn says "we tore creationists a new asshole", but when he says "as good as they could fucking look" at 30:34, it gets left alone lol

[phongbong]

I am boycotting reddit...in a couple hours.

[Zaywex]

Hahaha, censoring made me laugh.

[2edsajdmsa]

Censors missed one at 30:33 :-)

[Deekzlol]

@2edsajdmsa He should have missed them all, what the fuck is this, fucking reddit youtube channel with an AMA and it's censored language? What is the point X_x

[mrnicholas]

Anyone else notice they censored shit but not fuck LOL

[Videogamewalkthrough]

beautiful interview

[fatfacerick]

Teller's right, Mathieu Bich's Spreadwave was easily one of the best tricks on the show. And his little prediction at the end was such a brilliant touch. That dude is a magical genius.

[webmastertool]

what's with the fucking censors. bullshit.

[Rawr98]

instead of "bleeping", maybe flag it? Wouldn't that take care of the problem? It really bugged me, mainly for context.

[rsn00b4life]

@bubbah I didnt really watch the video (it was too long to be honest) but what did get say about second hand smoking ( ps you know global warming is just a scam right?)

[fatfacerick]

@rsn00b4life When they did the second hand smoking episode there were no studies at the time linking it to health problems. Since then there has been more research and it's starting to show more evidence that second hand smoke can have adverse health effects.

@bubbah science isn't propaganda. Science goes where the evidence points, that's the absolute best we can do in terms of finding the truth. Propaganda is only about indoctrination of a belief or viewpoint, regardless of truth.

[rsn00b4life]

@fatfacerick ok thanks

[rsn00b4life]

@rsn00b4life its partialy man-maded, as in a very little bit, or a whole lot. most of that 98% believe it is also the earths natural climate change, humans are also contributing, but not as much as most people think.

[bubbah]

@fatfacerick They misrepresented the science in the second hand smoking episode. That is anti-scientific propaganda.

[fatfacerick]

@bubbah Ok fine, believe what you want. But that's a dangerous way to go about your life, disregarding facts like that.

[AquadianEffect]

@rsn00b4life dude in what way is global warming a scam? 98% of scientists agree that it's not, and there has been loads of research proving it's not.

[Grooth]

@AquadianEffect Yes, global warming is real, there is global warming. Thats what the 98% of scientists are agreeing on. And its hard not to agree that there is global warming, it is warming. Thats a fact. But human impact is not proven nor disproven.

[AquadianEffect]

@Grooth Actually no. that 98% is the percentage that agree it's man made.

[nitrox255]

@Grooth "DON'T BE A DENIER THE science is in!"

[rsn00b4life]

@AquadianEffect ok, well i see what you mean, but global warming is a misconception. the earth is warming, like it naturally does, but we cant tell exactly how much of it is acually real. also, if humans did contribute to the earth warming, it would only be by a lilltle bit, nothing to serious.

[AquadianEffect]

@rsn00b4life Thanks but I'd rather listen to the 98% of scientists who actually have credentials.

[rsn00b4life]

@AquadianEffect ok you must not be understanding. when they say 98% of scientist believe in global warming they mean 98% of scientists believe the earth is warming up. this could be by man or by nature. or both. most scientists believe global warming is mostly the earth but partialy us, but surprisingly not as much as you may think. im not bs'ing u

[AquadianEffect]

@rsn00b4life no they don't. 98% of scientists believe global warming is man made. do 1 minute of research and you would figure that out.

[alexkaspraksucks]

@AquadianEffect Actually, no, I think most scientists that now anything about earth science understand that global warming is not man MADE, but man is certainly making it worse quickly. If you see a graph past what al gore shows on his documentary you'll notice that that spike in temp. is something that happens throughout geologic time. The earth was going to start getting warmer with or without man, we are just making things worse for us.

[alexkaspraksucks]

@AquadianEffect I'm not saying (and i doubt @rsn00b4life is either) that we shouldn't do anything about it or denying that there is global warming, just making sure people understand accurately what's going on. We should definitely try everything in our power to make our influence less pronounced.

[bubbah]

They were wrong scientifically on second hand smoking. They should quit trying to get away with spreading propaganda.

Also, what about global warming?

[kamspioneerclass]

30:33 Is it just me, or did the dude who edited this miss a spot...?

[kamspioneerclass]

@kamspioneerclass Fuck. I just saw that everyone and their dog noticed the censor screw up.

[Fromzon]

I've stopped watchin after the 5th bleep ( 90 seconds into the video). Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit, oh are you all offended now? am i evil now? retards, stop censoring

[LightningStickmanBob]

I like how they bleep the swear words but "fucking" slips through at 30:30 lol

[dingumfCallofDuty]

reddit is like a slow and mainstream version of 4chan, what with 5 minute waits to post and stolen internet memes spam

[teamorangeapple]

I bet you had a great story about waiting for sex and cheese.

[bgsvid]

storm surges number 1-954-2178

[xxCaMRocKxx]

Lol @ the censoring. Shit and asshole gets bleeped out, but Penn says fuck around the 30:30 mark and it doesn't get bleeped.

[carsontl]

@alucardmagic maybe I was, maybe i wasn't :D

[DrBoneskin]

we all love piff! :D

[HiTimbo]

22:05 for Teller's snort laugh at buying cheese while waiting for sex to happen.

That is all.

[darkshadow61]

nice

[myztikgohan]

30:33 too slow reddit

[okyehwhat]

@voiceboxed the reason he doesn't get more idolization is BECAUSE he's too authentic. A) he wouldn't indulge it and B) People idolize those people that are much more animated. True artists or magicians understand true art and magic as true human beings detect authentic humans, the mob understands popularity and eccentricity.

[benjic1636]

poopasaurus rex

[carsontl]

So what was their new show? I couldn't find the name in the 38 minute response.

[AlucardMagic]

@carsontl The new show's name is called Tell A Lie.

[AlucardMagic]

Respond to this video... LOL and did you just tell a lie? They did mention it around 36:40 ....

[Forty8andtwo]

Man that guy is such a loud mouth! The little guy didn't get to say a thing....

[rusbac]

One of the best P&T interviews I've seen. Reminds me of the old Penn radio podcasts.

[2PacsFatherNIGGA]

piers morgan owned this fat pussy

[SeanTheOriginal]

@2PacsFatherNIGGA Piers Morgan? You mean that guy who published a story knowing it was obtained via phone hacking?

[2PacsFatherNIGGA]

@SeanTheOriginal yea that atheist

[elevatormusicent]

Whats going on!!... yeah.. really.. whats up though

[legr8est1234]

New cool expression at 31:07 : "You win lose, you some some."

[ArtificialMantis]

dipshit redditor faggots could have asked about penn's acting in Miami Vice and Hackers but nooooo

[iFaTaLs]

i got a question for anyone, why does penn have on fingernail painted?

[jackola85]

@iFaTaLs It began as a joke with his mother. When he was 18 years old, his mother advised him to keep his hands looking nice, since he then was working as a magician and his audience would be looking at his hands. Jillette colored the single nail red and showed it to his mother. He has continued to paint that single nail to the present. -Wikipedia

[SpookyFan]

@iFaTaLs In memory of his mother, if I remember correctly.

[poopsix]

Who censored this? Their people? Definitely not reddit.

[Zombie1990]

Atheism? Not my sacred cow! NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!

Jk, I'd actually like to see this episode.

[iWatchinTubes]

So I start the video...see Teller there being jolly and mute as usual...then I notice the time, 38 minutes.

Is he just going to sit there for 38 minutes and smile!? Teller, you're like Charlie fuckin' Chaplin

[cobrien706]

Beeps! Beeps! Was ist wif da BEEPS!?

[shaurz]

What's the point of all the beeping, this is the internet.

[digitalconsciousness]

God I love these two guys. Their intelligence just radiates off them and everything they have to say is great. I wish we could hear more of Teller because I know he has thoughts too. Penn & Teller: don't ever let anything get you down or anything come inbetween you two.

[hauschxbAUWJHYB1]

Penn doesn't want part in real dangerous acts... okay. Then why did he try learning sword swallowing for 3 years unsuccessfully?

[Binerexis]

@hauschxbAUWJHYB1 I think the reason behind that could be the keyword 'unsuccessfully'.

[Chantzehao]

@hauschxbAUWJHYB1 Not too dangerous if done right.

[hauschxbAUWJHYB1]

@Chantzehao Are you a sword swallower? I am

[metallicakixtotalass]

The idea of Teller "prowling for sex" is hilarious to me.

[davada123]

@metallicakixtotalass It actually frightens me...

[artemeeb]

hope you fail with this show!

[freeartnow]

"you win lose, you sum sum"

[Atheyst]

Lmao. Let's boycott them! Buy 50 tickets!

[Atheyst]

I love Penn, he's cool as fuck.

[Tysteriskians]

Is it just me or is Penn's beard lopsided?

[Atheyst]

@Tysteriskians Ah fuck you. Now I have 32 minutes of staring at a lopsided beard..

[dubydingo]

@Atheyst Fuck YOU! Now I have 34 minutes of staring at a lopsided beard!

[clixx13]

@Tysteriskians I noticed that too.

[SilenceOfTheLozenge]

@Tysteriskians intentional misdirect beard ftw.

[Sojobu]

@Tysteriskians Aaaaah! What has been seen cannot be unseen!

[t3n0r2009]

@Tysteriskians i think its his chin thats lopsided

[AdamDiddy]

Love you guys !

[halodude92mm]

I'm so glad my grandpa is like Penn. almost identical personalities.

[i64fanatic]

Thanks for this, awesome responses

[10mintwo]

I thought it was really interesting that at 21:00 they both essentially tacitly admit to hiring prostitutes early on in their career, unashamedly. Their BS show from season four on the topic was fascinating: /watch?v=JZRxI4BLqE4

[kolloe]

How the hell did this get 1,300 likes with 300 views?

[svtrcr]

@kolloe Views update once per day (IIRC) so this has more than likely received thousands of views.

[drummerforpeace]

@kolloe you don't go on the internet very much, do you?

[Robocheeseball701]

@kolloe As always, the likes update faster than the viewcount on YouTube. Everyone asks at some point. It's like vote fuzzing on Reddit (go look it up if you don't know).

[mike41990]

@kolloe view counter must not require completion of the video. people assume they will like the rest? i watched the entire thing, enjoyed it, but wont "like" it just in-case one of those 1,000 people who voted premature ACTUALLY wouldn't have liked the whole thing

[griffin431]

What's with the fucking censoring?

[svtrcr]

@griffin431 Discovery Channel

[spyd4r]

why is it censored?

[BladeDebord]

You gotta love how passionate they are about their tricks

[prplehrt120]

this video sucks cocks in hell. stop censoring! you look so hypocritical!

[ACherimoya]

Huge respect for both of these guys. Awesome AMA!

[comface]

Should be called Penn & Teller: Science or Fiction.

....also, you should credit Steven Novella for the concept idea!

[DangerDan2]

900 people liked this without seeing it

[ACherimoya]

@DangerDan2 I liked your comment without reading it, too.

[TheFinalTidus]

i want to watch your show...but south park is on at the same time! :(

[enche01]

this is great

[orionjoda]

So awesome, thanks guys! Can't wait for your new show.
