after scanning through many of these comments, the criticising of the validity of andy's opinions from youtube viewers raises a very important question, one which i feel compelled to ask, and that is... is there no one else laughing??? does no one else view this as humour? i assume the uploader, doctormitch, knows whats up because he posted this in the 'comedy' section. as for everyone else.. come on guys..
andy rooney has been reporting the news since the Coolidge administration so CBS lets him on once a week for 3 minutes to talk about whatever the hell is on his mind.
Hey 60 Minutes.......how about spending a segment on finding out what is GREAT about the USA instead of bashing it every Sunday night.
There are people in Cuba who have been swimming in shark-infested waters, for the last 30 years, risking getting eaten by sharks, just to get to the USA. Are people from the USA, swimming in these same waters to get to CUBA ( to embrace it's glorious Socialistic /Communist government ?)
For an educated man, he should know what platinum is or at least look it up in one of those 100+ books he has behind him before making a report on national television. It is also stupid that he said he didn`t know how much money a billionaire has!
You gotta watch Andy for the humor of it...dont take him too seriously. What he says is a bit simplistic and I really dont think he truly believes all he says..its just his 'hussle' as they say.
@mdmb5 I believe I've even read before where Andy admits he's playing more of a curmudgeon than he really is or ever could be. The Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes is more or less a caricature, one that he makes a sweet living off of.
A simple man for simple people. The people that watch this are old people who are too inarticulate and cowed by their corporate masters to form a thought.
By similar logic, one could conclude that people who make broad-reaching judgments as to the intelligence or mental abilities of someone based on the news articles they find interesting (like you just did) are purposely obtuse and most likely wrong.
As for simplicity, you might check into Occam's Razor.
So his point is: Newspaper are jammed full of crap. That is why today newspaper sales are going down. People don't want to read about things that don't matter to them, that's why newspaper will be dead soon.
Have you tuned in to CNN lately? How about FOX NEWS? It can be argued that they're often full of crap too. And yet I don't see cable dying anytime soon. Besides papers, books, cash and checks will probably never disappear, because of the need for a secondary hard copy of information in case machines malfunction or some other crap happens. Either way, it's a more reliable way to store info,because the only way to infringe it is physical damage or counterfeit. Most machines are higher maintanence.
andy, why don't you do a report on what platinum is. you're really good at asking questions. how about some answers once in while? he's always like why this, and why is that. i don't like this, i don't like that. how about some news, buddy?
why r people making fun of andy rooney? quit making fun of andy rooney!! he will be 91 in 4 months and you just wish you had the wit that he does at 90 even at your age!!!! quit making fun of andy rooney!!!!
He hasn't learned many terms like "platinum" or "how much much money a billionaire has", but he's quite entertaining to watch. Especially, to people who know more than him (with a 7th grade education). To Andy Rooney, if you try to watch yourself on You Tube, we love to hear you talk about current events (both admirers and sceptics) (if you're still alive). 5 stars!
I love how people can think that Andy is always completely serious and that news stations are purely fact, if they only used cold hard facts, then ratings and vieweres would go down.
and "doctormitch", you need to have a bit more respect for other people and Mr. Rooney, he doesn't do that to make you get a kick out of it, he does it to show how things were, are, and could be.
Oh by the way Andy, it helps if you also read all the smaller words underneath the headline. that way you can learn things like "what sub-prime is" on the off chance that it becomes important.
HAHAHAHAHA! You're funny. "I don't really know what platinum is. What do they do with platinum anyways?", "I don't really know how much money a billionaire has" "Speaking of headlines that mean nothing to me..."
Are you KIDDING ME Koroush51, I would have to be too braindead to write this reply for Andy to be smarter than I.
I'm not judging him by his not knowing definitions. He works for a NEWS CHANNEL! Don't you think he should do some IN DEPTH reporting and look up something once in a while, rather than saying something along the lines of "Tacos. I don't know WHERE they come from. Only God could know the answer to this!"
theres a difference between reporting the news and expressing your opinion. does music television (mtv) showcase only music? is every program on the history channel actually a history program? youre stance has no substance. stop typing.
"Stop typing"??? I'm not censoring you, why do you want me to censor myself?
So you're sayng that 60 minutes is NOT a news program? They only keep Andy on because he has been on for something like 30 years and old farts would SPAZZ if he were fired.
BTW, a majority of the comments here agree with me. If you don't like the comments, don't read them. If you don't like the videos I post, don't watch them.
I post these videos because Andy's funny (mostly due to his age). If you do not enjoy it as much as the rest of us, DON'T WATCH. Now YOU "shut up".
HAHAHAHAHA "What do they do with platinum anyway?" LOL oh and "I don't know how much a billionaire has" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A FUCKIN STUPID OLD FUCK. WHY WON'T HE DIE?
I think he is just running out of contents - so just making it up as he goes. Sometimes it comes good, like the one on food, but mainly its just plain ignorance
Doctormitch, it's obvious your a person with no sense of humor or personality, can't you grasp the wording of Andy Rooneys rant? Are you that out of touch with reality that you are blind to whats going on?
Do you really even know whats going on in our country or for that matter do you even live in this country?
Your response is the sign of ignorance, youtube allows even idiots like you to upload videos. goodday mate
One again Good Ole' Andy tells it like it is, he's right, that is why most of America uses thier newspapers to line the birdcages with or like I do to start my woodstove up, I have yet to see any newspaper with anything worth reading in it, Andy Rooney we need you in office to bring things back!!
I'm not your God unless you want me to be? I don't like Butters Stotch, or did you mean butterscotch? Ole' any rooney must have knocked you some how, good, cause he only knocks morons:)
