Autoworkers Compete To Keep Jobs, Livelihoods On New Reality Show

[gypsytsar84]

OMG!

no shit sherlock!

[TheYouwontgetit]

how about making them work outside in the cold without food or water...

[SuperFifthwheel]

"No, outdated equipment is pretty normal in a factory, but now that theres cameras everywhere our bosses make us follow the OSHA rules" -lol, that is not satire, that's actually what happens.

[ShaithMaster]

hahaha they've got that cliched reality show music spot on

[akf2000]

Dark factory challenge was the best episode in the series

[mars112597]

What is this?

[TheMadTitan1776]

The look on the guys face at 2:48 is priceless lol Non-union labor!

They will probably get more work done with them rather than union employees.

[CODHVideos]

Its a satire of REAL news, not imaginary news.

[Wa3ypx]

Ths where Kasich gets all of his and Shannon Jones' ideas!!

[MegaRockingGIRL]

Thankyou Its funny but .. STILL ..Its fake dont worry

[LafreniereJ]

is this sick shit real? a Game show about people losing their Jobs? Please tell me it is fake...

[gingersteve]

@LafreniereJ Are you serious?

[thecapone45]

@LafreniereJ its real bro...

-_-

[LafreniereJ]

@thecapone45 Honestly.. I dont think It is.. It can't be.

[iContaminate]

@LafreniereJ It's not real.

[PoolOfPeas]

"Spike TV just announced a recession-era game show from the producers of Jersey Shore. Titled Repo Games, the show follows two real-life repo men who give debtors one last chance to keep their cars by playing in a quiz show."

Just saying.

[iColorado303]

@PoolOfPeas cool story bro

[ChineseAtheist]

Even if it is risky, found a union

[shin1300]

best trolls ever!!

[coerce1]

Google 'Repo Games' and watch this video again.

[thecapone45]

@coerce1 what is it?

[zeledakixx]

Wow... that was... right on the spot.... my dad got fired yesterday

[jgtheman84]

@zeledakixx hahahahah

[Fibonacci1334]

except jose. he's a little fucked

[Fibonacci1334]

while it seems bad to get fired, i think just appearing on this show will further their career in the automotive industry. i think its a win-win

[jarekmessi94]

whats the name of that russian lady?

[poopinface123]

what!?! how are they allowing this on tv??

[Ghettobusters2]

Fox is stealing this idea right now.

They are ALWAYS looking to replace any great sci-fi show (Expensive special effects & actors get a raise 2nd or 3rd season) with some damned low cost reality show they can just dangle a final prize to get people to sell their soul for.

If they call it REALITY - Idiots will watch.

[interestingperson121]

LOL this is sooo good. So representative of today's manual labor force... hahahahahahaha.

[IBMeddling]

Moral of the story - Is there really that much of a difference? The auto workers... or the workers on "Project Runway" TV show!

[Del249]

haha this was absolutely brilliant, making fun out of misery of people, you cant get any more funny then that

ah yes you can, theres one thing that is even more funny, its dying people!! hahaha

[MrSafetymeeting]

@Del249 You got that right, dying people are hilarious.

[ALPHADESIGNTAMPICO]

In the "STILL AHEAD THIS HOUR" section they used a tip that was already used in an episode before! By the way great reality show! Way better than those in real television.

[boognishishere]

What makes The Onion truly funny is the little drops of truth squeezed inbetween the jokes.

[kmcody]

What's sad is that this could actually be a show, WOW.

[bmarian121]

this is wrong on so many levels , but funny as the same time (still wrong)

[MrLazyEyes]

That show is AWESOME! I can't wait to see who wins!

[Captainflowers09]

Anything that gets Ford off the market and off the road

[masterlook5]

what the fuck~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Maxpow33r]

Seems like a better show than My BFF2

[marcolammers]

Whahaha! Brilliant concept. Go Union!

[marcolammers]

@marcolammers Onion I mean haha

[CrimsonToast]

America would watch this.

[barnsoldat91]

Non-union labor!!!

[uselessfaith]

In Russia, sexy girl builds you!

[simba8899]

Russian girls are sexy

[FMLdoodez]

hey! the woman telling the teams what to do shes the russian girl in americas next top model! natasha or sumfin.

[DemonixSD]

God Damn - I wanna watch that Ford show! - if only...

[AdogCOLOMBIANO]

hilarious!

[Tvor1128]

My favorite onion

[aegisofrime]

You know, I would actually watch this show if they are really going to make it in real life. It's better than most of the crap on TV now!

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Rofl. Toyota fails.

[Ryuinfinity]

So horrible. So hilarious.

[zxcvbnmjhgfdsa1]

I challenge any big 3 employee so secretly bring camera and sound equipment to the plant and allow everyone on youtube to watch. Is it true its so automated autoworkers spend half the time standing around

[NoisemakerArrow]

Yes, except now they spend half the time standing around in line at the welfare office.

[FreedomCanada2010]

i would watch TV again if this was a show lol

[melissaj2004]

Okay, this would be a really cool show in real life. I would totally watch it!

[5185988519]

This is TERRIBLE! but funny

[TheGuitarist365]

This is hilarious!

And the city they made up, Fredricksburg IN, is an actually place I've been through it a dozen times but no auto manufacturers

[Priestofbabalon]

The video is awesome.

Just a shame that she's been resorted to doing things like this. I mean she was Tony Soprano's girlfriend.

[CaIamlty]

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

[MPArmstrong84]

This would be funnier if it were further from the truth. lol. Work union, live better!

[bretp99]

I love Flatline! It's like a real life version of 24. Los Heroes is fun too. I watched the first season of AW, and found myself glued to the set. I especially enjoyed the brawl caused by the scabs (ahem, "non-union workers") they sent in.

[mattfirebird]

If you love this then you'll totally love the new hit Fox network show Flatline. It's about uninsured patients who are diagnosed with a life threatening illness and have 24 hours to find reasonable health care coverage. Mexico's mega-television network Univision has a sister program called Los Heroes where illegal immigrants who are ill have a 24 hour period to recieve medical care. It's very educational and eye opening.

[deltanator]

........  'without electricity'

classic XD

[FrankenSteinFB]

ya, that had me *laughing out loud* lol

[baraka1992]

Why isnt this an actual show yet?

[e105b5]

@Baruka

I was just about to ask just that!

[bywordorbysword]

they should have done this instead of the bail out.

[Dali0Lama]

So this is how Ford avoided Bankruptcy lol

[bankjobBoB]

This is so unfare. no power.

[soultakerr2000]

But it does make for good reality tv :D

[farmingisforme]

the onion is done so well.

[ivymullaley]

What's so disturbing is that people actually think this is a real show. It a satire of imaginary news. It's a joke!

[ArcticSheep]

it's just so close to real news, it's hard to tell the difference :P

[orangeninja1]

@ivymullaley and someone says this for every video. it would be more amusing to just leave them.

[LolcanoStudios]

@ivymullaley

Well its still more real than FOX news ;)

[InformationPollution]

What's even more disturbing is that the basic facts depicted in the video ARE reality. All the Onion does is tweak the truth a little to make us realize that the truth is fucking dumb and depressing.

[Neosaigo]

@ivymullaley However the point of a satire is to make a point. Onions have made many many good points about the reality in the U.S.

[qasddddd1]

@ivymullaley It's sad because it's believable... They've got a show on tv where you can watch people play a game show to decide whether or not their car gets repossessed. How sad is it that that's what's considered entertainment, watching peoples lives fall apart. You know this Ford show would be an instant hit.

[husnain404]

I would seriously watch this

[24hraxis]

I am really offended... Let me watch this again.

[zoeyjusko]

The Onion is a "news satire" organization that parodizes news programs. It's not real. Watch it again.

[24hraxis]

I am aware of this... I was being sarcastic. It still amazes me how many people actually believe this stuff is real.

[wshelto6]

@24hraxis Probably because they do such a great job of making it look real

[themooyee]

daniel grossman. LOL

[andyrooney11]

"Now the bosses make us follow OSHA rules" LMFAO. If anyone has worked in a factory they know what that means.

[alexcheetah79]

see who can build America's best car......lol

[whalefish83]

I dont why it seems more funny with a Russian supermodel presenting it, but it does.

[logannoo]

i find this really sad but also really funny

[chonitodancer]

Evil humor; can't stop watching...

[MrUrbanExplorer]

hahaha i know. "the workers not only get to keep their jobs but also their pension and health benefits" XD

[dw053408]

that one was kinda sad

[realfunnybunny]

the onion should b on adult swim.... i said it first gimme my chipS!

[jefffreedumb]

It's non union labour....not 9 union labourers...this reminds me of my days working at Lear.

[TehCybernerd]

i always thought the problem was that they couldn't sell the damn cars... why would they be..? ehhhhhhhhhhhhh, nevermind.

[nishantsingh22]

I wish this never gets real

[klabkebash]

Tony Soprano's Russian girl.. the one with both legs..

[greycloud24]

this is painfully funny, it is wrong on so many levels.

[09jake12]

lmfao

[suicidaljoyride]

Aww..the guy in the studio looks so sad...

yeah i know its onion..im just saying..

i'd probably watch it though...

[Xoda000]

the sad thing is Endemol (people who created Big Brother) are trying to get a new reality show passed that involves people fighting to keep their jobs.

Their reasoning? Roughly "We believe [since we are in a recession] people will find it amusing watching others losing their jobs."

[BIILYBOB999]

lol the only difference is that they now make us follow the OSHA rules... lol

[traditionalwiseguy77]

Oh Look! Irina from The Sopranos! (Tony's Goomah)

[jonnyrb1981]

bastard i thought i was the first to notice. Thats some tight sopranos skills you got g

[luvdemladies]

"how to get more done while sleeping" except your body needs its rest so i dont think that would be nice

[AinurX]

Hahaha, build 1000 Focuses without electricity. Hilarious!

[yevgander]

if the reality show was real, it would be fucking INTENSE, i could feel it...with that much at stake...people would be getting murdered

[Gunriffun9mm]

And the moral of this story is that OSHA is killing the auto industry.

[boxorak]

That's what the US economy is doing.

[ProNorden]

'Reality TV' ? Very.

Great trenchant satire as usual by The Onion. The humor of recognition regarding Economic Treason.

America and all Northern Nations must restore our manufacturing base by restoring the National Tariff/Import Tax against predatory trade.

'Each Nation should be it's own best market first.'

[PhoenixFlame55]

Damn I would totally watch that show. "The Pink slip zone for downsizing". Haha.

[SirManNGedition]

maybe we slept through the first one?

[PandiiMan]

they re-used the "How to get more while you sleep" !!! they had it on another episode! uncool~

[pstalbot]

It's because there's even more you can do than ever before.

[MidgardEagle]

Every time someone laughs at people for taking the War of the Worlds radio play seriously back when mock news broadcasts were new... I shake my head thinking of all the people who, today, think the Onion is real.

[boxorak]

@MidgardEagle:

People are hypocrites. Besides, War of the worlds wasn't satire disguised as a news story. Onion is more realistic. Yes, it is. :P

[zatoichi12345]

haha,you have to love the effort that goes into each video.

[ericson4life3]

Haha.

[dimebag5462]

LMFAO !! fuck all you loosers getting all sobby about it being over the top

[taxisgay12]

i only made it 48 seconds to get pissed off.the factories churn out shit as fast as thay can and make the dealers the R&D.

then they change the warranty rules to resemble that of the medical insurance rules.basically screw the workers and the customers to maximize profit.you have to be a complete crook in either just to make a living.fuck this shit.

[microKORG17]

i live 20 minutes from fredericksburg, IN and there ain't shit there. the town's population is less than 100

[3martijns]

Onion always pushes the envelope to see how dark they can make their humor - sometimes they are over the top.

[3martijns]

Auto industry problems could have been seen coming over last 35-40 years.

[3martijns]

Government will keep on dumping our tax money into GM. Welcome to Utopia!

[mistert581]

That's not funny at all. I didn't even crack a smile. I live in Michigan and this is not humor to make fun of Americans being laid off. That makes me sick that people would actually laugh at that because stuff like that happens. But yeah keep driving your piece of shit foreign cars around. Ford's actually doing great right now so go fuck yourself the onion.

[ERaver2020]

oh shut the hell up everyone is feeling the recession except for the rich, so go cry a river somewhere else. You would laugh your ass off about this if it were another country.

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

dude its just a joke...we understand that people actually get laid off. The Onion just over exaggerates things to make their show funny, they made an episode where a bunch of pregnant monkeys got stabbed to death in this 1.2 million dollar scientific study to know whether or not stabbing decreases the life expectancy of the monkeys. all their episodes are dark humor.

[HardCor3KiLLa4USA]

3:11 it says at the bottom "finale will reunite laid-off workers that haven't killed themselves" lol

[oceanlinda3]

lmao

[ADisasterpiece]

"Your task today is to build 1,000 Ford Focuses in 24 hours... Without, electricity."

Damn. That is tough. Especially considering that without electricity, it would be impressive if they made 5. Man I love the Onion. In fact, the only thing I love more than the Onion is the people that think it is real!

[rushinrussian11]

haha, oh my, that is horrible

[PastYourDeadTime]

I wonder if Ford likes the attention it is getting

[princesZsisi]

"oh now, we dont wanna give anything away!" =P

[PastYourDeadTime]

The actress playing the hostess is Oksana Lada. I saw from Sopranos. I love her Ukrainian accent.

[SylvanaForrester]

Yeah, she's pretty hot. She was also in an episode of 30 Rock.

[yellowcougar18]

Wow...the host of auto workers is stunning. Really cute.

Have to say I loved how they made fun of Project Runway, since the host sounds so like Heidi Klum.

Hilarious work by the Onion.

Strangely, this is a show I would watch if it was real.

[eggiex1]

I'd love to see something like this in real life, but with all those sub-prime home mortgage loan officers as the people whose jobs are at stake...

[Antimatter77]

LMFAO!!!

[jvarela965]

Irina from the Sopranos !

[deskngtutorials]

lol no electricity

[bajan13k]

....without electricity!

LMAO!

[kfinnguy]

The funny part of the videos is the hosts are so arrogant.

[Stepith]

I know. they are very arrogant.

Yet I enjoy their talking nonetheless

[Tressco]

"How to get more down while you sleep"

[DeeznutsFYC]

They took our jobs!

[1JuanJeanJohn1]

They terk err jerrrbs!

[hehheeMAPLE]

durkah durrrrr!!

[ARandomCanadian]

Union labourers lol

[ThatHarperKid]

wow, i wonder how big their budget is? they do a lot of over-the-top stuff

[StinkyCheeser]

they have in video advertising, like this one, 88580 people have seen a video about ford,

[sikkre2006]

"With non-union labour" he he he heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, what an awesome line, sort of hits the nail on the head for the real reasons why the US auto industry is stuffed.

[imtwocats]

Man i'd watch that show. THIS is real reality.

[stupkid]

i'd watch it too haha

[asmetuyasiempre]

a rather keep my pinto it was made on 3 days

[nazsh11]

"now the boss's make us follow the OSHA rules" thats great  =)

[onomiyaki]

Lol 1000 cars in 24 hours without electricity.

[hearNyou]

We will all be in the 'pink slip circle' soon.......

[WoWnerdCasper19]

"the factory that can produce more in less time with less people wins" .... thats how the great depression started... over production... god these guys are genius's

[1f0und1]

you do know The Onion news stories are FAKE right???!?!!!

its a joke man chillax

[WoWnerdCasper19]

lol yea i know, im just appreciating that they touched on why we went into the great depression, its satire =P i know, what did i say that made you think i didnt know that?

[1f0und1]

lol i dunno maybe i just misread or something lol I thought you were saying that by doing this is was going to send us into another great depression LOL either way its a great news story

[christopherjgoh]

You're the FAKE!

[SockEater555]

the end was rofl

[RubirosaVillalona]

problem is who is going to buy them IMAO!

[vonfeldt7]

Haha good stuff. "The only really change is that there's cameras everywhere...so now the bosses make us follow the OSHA rules"

Love it
