The Wire - Omar is coming

[tommyt1971]

Heh heh, "the cheese stands alone" in French is "I am the law!" Should've been "le fromage est le seul".

[Dementeddizzy79]

Does he shoot him?!

[wtg2989]

@Dementeddizzy79 Don't think so. Only robs him.

[tommyt1971]

@Dementeddizzy79 Probably not, only if the guy pulled a gun on him.

[Atomsking]

Omar is so awesome he can pump a double barrel shotgun. XD

[tommyt1971]

@Atomsking Probably just the sound of him closing the breach.

[Moution23]

If I was in Baltimore then I would drop omar my damn self, baltimore niggas cant shoot for sh**t

[IKoolAidJammers]

@Moution23 come on bro us Baltimore niggas no joke man quit wit dat

[beehands]

@IKoolAidJammers it's a quote from the show

[joefreeman856]

I always whistle that song. But I don't know its name.

[luisenrique260]

@joefreeman856 The Farmer in the Dell or A Hunting We Will Go

[CaliBreeze3]

this scene is hilarious!!

[goldenarms12]

By the way, the Romans had something similar to "Omar is coming". It was "Hannibal ad portas." Hannibal is at the gates. For whenever some impending danger was close they called out "Hannibal ad portas", for when there was a time when a black man (or a man of Arab roots) could have been the first emperor of the Roman Republic/Empire.

[goldenarms12]

@goldenarms12 sry Phoenican, not arab

[arthurude1]

@goldenarms12 lol Hannibal was not black or arabic, he was a cartaginian that was a north african nation formed by phoenician colonists. phoenicians were a pre-arabic people in the Levant region in today's Syria. Also, he would never be the first emperor of the Roman Empire becouse at that time it was a republic elected by the nobles and citizens. Also, Hannibal wanted to destroy Rome bringing glory to Carthage, Rome's main nemesis. (like US and Russia) not rule it.

[goldenarms12]

@arthurude1 I admitted my error that he wasn't Arab in another post. I really do not think that the fact that Rome was a Republic would have any bearing on Hannibal if he wanted to be Emperor or military dictator, or whatever position that would have equated to what we now call Emperor (after all it was a Roman Republic that made Octavian one). And yes someone remembers what Hannibal's father made his son swear to do....sometimes to rule something, you have to destroy it. Carthage after the 2nd

[goldenarms12]

@arthurude1 Punic War although defeated, wasn't under Roman rule until after its seige (Remember "Carthago delenda est"?) where it was burned to the ground.

[arthurude1]

@goldenarms12 that is true but i like to think that if Carthaginians had won, Carthage would be like Rome is today and probably the center for a large mediteranean empire that would have taken rome's place and today we wouldn't be using this alphabet but some weird carthaginian wrighting.

[makpak]

@Angelbaby7041 hahahaha

[Angelbaby7041]

@makpak lol I'm serious XD

[chinnwa]

sound of a pump shotgun being racked at :43 but Omar's carrying a double barrel

[tommyt1971]

@chinnwa He could've been closing the chambers, IE, he had it broken open before we heard the sound.

[Xainfinen]

HAHAHA les sous titres pourris! I used to hiss the farmer bell when i make my breakfast that's make me look badass, 'feel me ?

[OMGitsSEVEN]

omar is the only one who dislikes the vid

[mtsingrenny]

Makes me proud to be named Omar. I just wish I could whistle, though :(

[DantehMan]

I really should watch this show.

[mc1200]

Don't get me wrong I love The Wire, but how do you pump a sawed off? @0:45

[TheArkTheArkTheArk]

@mc1200 Well that's...that's actually a very good question...

[mc1200]

@TheArkTheArkTheArk it must just be the sound editor doesn't know guns, cause when michael kills snoop he pulls the hammer back on a 9mm and it sounds like pulling back the slide

[dpq06]

@mc1200 Well, he could have been loading it, it would make that sound.

[scarrmd]

The cheese stands alone!

[jabron2009]

I WAS GLAD HIS FAT ASS GOT ROBBED

[Ofir84]

@svante1991

He's Omar, thats how

[alexanderrobertking]

OMAR'S COMIN' (to Community this fall)

[T33chuLess0n]

One of the best characters I've seen in any form of media.

[Marci124]

@2hot2get

Really? Watch the episode "Stray rounds".

Dem kids be knowin shit's hitting the fan when Omar comes...

[JimboJ1981]

He even scares the kids!

[Gabiex1012]

Omar , I really love this guy !

[datsyuk134life]

les sous titres sont completements mauvais

the french subtitles are completely faulse

[Gabiex1012]

@datsyuk134life en quoi sont ils faux ?

[djcheff]

CHEESE STANDS ALONE

[duedfromtheblock]

It would have been more epic if he were whistling "Kung fu fighting" by Carl douglas... ;)

[2hot2get]

I don't understand why the kids running. he aint gonna do anything to them

[LeBronForTheWin]

@2hot2get if you know a gunfight might be goin down on the street you're standing in, wouldnt u run?

[2hot2get]

@LeBronForTheWin Yeah but nobody really tries Omar.

[mrmootheirrev]

@svante1991 He Omar!

[StrangelyBrownNo1]

Unnecesary cocking noise does not ruin the awesomeness of Omar.

[atomicbolt]

French subtitles messed up. "Cheese stands alone" is nothing like "It's me who makes the law"

[poopmcscoopface]

@atomicbolt he doesnt say that lol

[ramonalejandrosuare]

I don't know who's idea it was to have Omar whistle that song but it was sheer brilliance to include that little touch. The metaphor of the "cheese standing alone" has come to signify everything Omar is about. At the end of the day, the game on the street is about ultimately standing until alone until no one else is left.

[Cookster5]

0:43 pump action double barrelled shotgun eh?

[Kolejorz2111]

OMAR COMING

[Quidon88]

Thumbs up if @ThatKevinSmith brought you here. Yes S.I.R.!!!!

[veldross1]

Marlowe disliked this

[HelloThar9]

This is the shit that happens when Chalky White time travels...

[jmech001]

just for the record, i believe he is whistling "A hunting we will go," not "The farmer in the Dell"....seems more appropriate

[Phame17]

@jmech001 Yes, he even said it himself in an interview and besides would it really make any sense for him to hum farmer in the dell? lol

[johnnyk427]

@Phame17 Dude he says 'the cheese stands alone' at the end, which is a lyric from farmer in the dell. He is whistling both.

[Phame17]

@johnnyk427 That's true about the lyric but he said it in an interview that he's whistling a hunting we will go, but yeah thanks for that reply since I wondered why he said that lol.

[lilze96]

Bin Laden "OH SHIT OMAR COMMIN!" *one shot to the head*

[flavordave73]

Fucking Omar. Hes one crazy dude.

[stunnazz2202]

GAY AND GOT A GUN AN HE IS A GANGSTER DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY

[LeBronForTheWin]

hahaha fucking walkin down the street with shotgun dangling down his coat

[ferrisnesse18]

wow the first time u see omar>>>n his boyfriend brandon too

[MrMurrayHewitt]

It's Chaulky White.

[tobsmonster2]

0:41 He cocks the gun like a pump xD

[charlestonchewy]

Omar is the opposite of the neighborhood ice cream truck. Ice cream truck comes by, everyone stops what they're doing and run towards the truck. Omar comes by, everyone stops what they're doing and leaves.

[ellecto]

@charlestonchewy

Ice cream truck man, guns in tha trunk man...?

[Cairah2013]

@charlestonchewy Haha,! Good point. That's the irony of it. !

[upinflamezzz]

Did he shoot him?

[Ethiopiabuzz]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[stevenlburke]

What the heck was the point of this?

[Jimmybuddha]

@stevenlburke

the point is when hear Farmer in the Dell, you best run

[bkapbkap]

awesome scene except the the big dude put his hands up too soon as he turned the corner

[ferguscahillane1993]

@bkapbkap he would have instantly seen his partner with his hands up and 2 gun pointing figures walking towards them

[elmo245hvac]

lmao big ass boulder looking nigga slingin' soon as he seen Omar he was jumpin round the corna like a black jellybean ROFL.

[FeelinTangerine]

In the song "the farmer in the dell" there is a lyric that goes: "the cheese stands alone". Its usually at that time when everyones been eliminated & the last one standing is the cheese. Old-school kids game & song

[donell4000]

@emcezed and remlap. Did some homework. We're all right so pick one you like.

[donell4000]

He's actually whistling "A Hunting We Will Go". Same music, different words.

[josuneta]

@donell4000 same dude, different name. That's all.

[remlap]

@donell4000 Actually him saying The Cheese Stands Alone means his is whistling The Farmer in the Dell.

[MrPathfinder808]

the cheese stand alone... class

[Crazycarrot650]

ehm? is it just me, or did i hear the sound of a pump action shotgun around 00:42 when he's really holding a sawn off? don't mean to be picky though :P LOVE the wire :D

[mk741]

Omar's like a superhero,anti-hero,and villain all at the same time.

Such an awesome character.

[TheDomini91]

omar comin yo lol

[thrustmonkey23333]

Anybody else notice that you can hear him clearly pump the shotgun, but its a side x side double which you dont or cnt pump? haha kinda interesting one of very few flaws

[JamesFinch]

The cheese stands alone.

[TheEaglesfanindc]

dumb ass fat fuck sitting there bobbing his head lmao i couldnt stand that faggot

[jackswift10]

what is his gun?

[SouthshoreVice]

Omar cummin' (No homo)

[ryderyderyder]

@SouthshoreVice but he is homo :D

[juve96]

Thumbs Up If you have become obsessed with whistling The Farmer in the Dell because of the show and Omar.

[salanh]

@juve96 Yes, I have.

[somberlight]

@juve96 "He's omar, eager for fun. He wears a smile, everybody run" heh, tweaked twin peaks quote but fits xD

[DMTwannaB]

@juve96 totally!

[Gracie0935]

"Omar's comin'!"

"Oh shit!"

The only sensible reaction because no point trying to run and hide.



[MOCoutinho]

I love when kids start running around "Omar", "it's Omar", lmao. The first time I saw Omar in Season 1 I thought, WTF! This guy is a bastard and he won't live more than a few episodes. Fortunately he did and when hs time came he'd came to be the character I loved the most in the series and I really felt sorry for him. Thanks Omar because every time you showed up you made me laugh a lot yo, it was always funny and, in spite of some ruthless killing you did, you always lived by a code and a rep!

[imbobsaget]

After watching the Wire, the Farmer in the Dell song will never sound the same to me again

[Scarecrowman27]

The one dislike is Avon or Stinger

[amazingdany]

When you hear "Shit it's Omar, he's coming", IT'S TOO LATE.

[lou4brew]

Man I would have loved to see Omar vs. Chris Partlow one on one. Omar is a bad ass but him against a trained tactial killer like Partlow would have been epic. Even money on those two...

[Ratskeller1896]

@lou4brew

haha chris is nothin against omar

even mikey would kick partlows ass

[johnnyk427]

@lou4brew That happens later in the series, apartment shootout and Omar has to jump out the window.

[sunnywwefan]

The kid in the black puts his hands up before he gets around the corner lol

[veeseee128]

Omars a good whistler. I wonder if he could do the andy griffith show theme.hahahaha!

[RamSama]

The guy who dropped his walkman disliked this video hahaha

[veeseee128]

I think the ratings went down when omar was killed. just didnt have that antagonist the show needed to keep it interesting.

[WiseGuy5674]

@veeseee128 ..the only way you can lose ratings on HBO is if people cancel their subscription. They had always wanted to make 5 seasons..thats it.

[thepissflap]

did he just cock a double barrell shotgun? haha

[jimmycrack221]

@thepissflap Haha. I was going to say that. I heard the Pump in the backround and I was like "What the fuck?!" haha

[koolakalle]

@thepissflap

Indeed, what the fuck?

[HandsOfSugar]

omar is the greatest charector of all time

[ikosabre]

hope I could whistle like that

[WiseGuy5674]

Even if Omar didn't have people in the ally waiting..these fools wouldn't have made it too far with those pants hangin' down like that..doesn't seem to practical to have your pants hangin' so you can't run, or jump a fence...Moronic moolies.

[Masterphonic]

The cheese stands alone, bitch.

[scarryterry]

The guy with the headphones has to be the most unperceptive person ever. How do do you just sit there while your friend is slapping at your arm trying to get your attention and not immediately realize somethings happening?

[watchingvids101]

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeit i hope those 2 guys were ok.

[babeboyp]

SHUT UP EVERY ONE IF THAT WAS HIM WIT A GUN UP ON U ALL YALL WOULD OF BEN SCARD LIKE SHIT SO DONT PLAY HARD  OVER THE NET MOTHER FUCKERS

[mrfred159]

Omar's comin'!

[Ruvanaha]

hahaha the french translation is so bad. "The cheese stands alone" becomes "It's ME who makes the law!" wtf?

[Ace00Frehley]

@Ruvanaha the whole show's translation is shitty, but I guess it's pretty hard to translate that kind of urban langage correctly.

[roadkillx1990]

is that savino?

[BIGDADDYF50]

yo

Omar Comin yo

[1380]

if clint eastwood was gay and black

[poopmcscoopface]

him and bodie are my favorite criminals from the show. omar is jus a badasss motherfucker, not like a wannabe hip hop thug hes got his own style

[fran21ish]

this guy walks around like he's in some African war country without any law n order..nothing is more gangster than omar

[catchfree84]

lmao niggas scrambling like a motha fucka

[robib2]

Omar Little = the trench coat gangsta

[jaredowty]

Omar strollin!

[mkratovil]

omar comin, yo

[Lantho650]

0:29 RESPECT!!!!!!!!

[DunceOwnsYou]

SHEEEIIIIIITTTT

[glolib6]

what does he mean by "the cheese stands alone"

[ShutEmDownNow]

@glolib6 One of the verses from "The Farmer in the Dell": The cheese stands alone, the cheese stands alone/Hi-ho-the-derry-o, the cheese stands alone.

[glolib6]

@ShutEmDownNow haha kk cheers

[rrrod411]

Omar= street god

[rrrod411]

here come that foo, he's packin

[Izzaiah024]

I think the writers were trying to show you how it goes down on The Wire... one shot to the head from the last place you expect it. Who else was gonna get Omar? How?

[jonnywev]

what's he whistling?

[emcezed]

@jonnywev

The Farmer in the Dell !

[goceltics339]

@emcezed michael k. williams always said he liked to think of the whistling as "a hunting we will go" like elmer fudd, haha

[doliveij]

@emcezed

Elmer Fudd: "A hunting we will go."

[nice9008]

@emcezed you got that right. I thought he was going to shoot right then and there

[51lv3r5p00n]

@emcezed Nope, that ain't it. A hunting we will go is the right tune.

[Adam2012]

@emcezed

Actually, it's Elmer Fudd's version; "a hunting we will go.."

(Opie and Anthony: Michael K. Williams Phoner part 1 of 2)

[eternalautumn]

@Adam2012 Both are correct. They are the same tune. However, since he says "The cheese stands alone" at the end, 'The Farmer in the Dell' would be the slightly more correct answer, since that is actually the last part of the song.

" The cheese stands alone. The cheese stands alone. Hi-ho, the derry-o. The cheese stands alone."

[redrocketwestie]

@Adam2012 Then why would he say "The Cheese stands alone?" That's just odd.

[Adam2012]

@redrocketwestie Well, everything is explained in the interview.. Just a fun fact I wanted to share.

[redrocketwestie]

@Adam2012 Yeah, I believe you. It's just surprising.

[MShumaker5]

@emcezed also the cheese stands alone

[hotaais]

@emcezed no actually it is: A Hunting We Go

[101iamlegend]

@emcezed Wrong dude. he's whistling "A hunting we will go" by Elmer Fudd.

[happycapmer11]

@jonnywev 'A Hunting We Will Go'

[MrNikoBellEnd]

@jonnywev a hunting we will go

[jmbreiss]

@jonnywev  heard the expression " whistle while you work " lol

snow white and the 7 dwarfs

[piopimp]

@jonnywev The character that he is sticking up is called The Cheese

[piopimp]

@jonnywev The character that he is sticking up is called The Cheese

[conorocall1234]

@jonnywev Its A Hunting We Will Go

[conorocall1234]

@jonnywev Its a Huntin We Will Go

[Phame17]

@jonnywev A hunting we will go.

[Wargoat6]

@jonnywev A Hunting We Will Go, same tune as Farmer in the Dell, but makes more sense with his character. Oh, and he said that during an interview with Opie and Anthony (search for it).

[UTOIKAMANU2011]

@jonnywev A hunting we will go 

[mnyfrsh]

Most threatening nursery rhyme whistle in human history.

[Skates2much]

@mnyfrsh LMAO

[tobiasoswald]

lol he dropped his cd player

[DuxCorvan]

Why do they translate "The cheese stands alone" to French as "I am who makes the law"? It's just a rhyme of the song he's whistling, "The Farmer in the Dell", not some gangsta slang.

[tahthedon]

oh merde!

lol

[FrancisTaylor253]

Omar had everybody shakin like a mother fucker
