What's funnier than a conservative with a stick up their ass and complaining about this video is observing them try to not admit that they know he's an idiot.
I think Basil Marceaux meant switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) when he said he wanted to grow grass in vacant lots and "sell it for gas." Still a stupid idea, but I wanted to point out that it wasn't completely without merit.
Revisiting attacks on Bush and Palin. Why that's both classy and not completely unoriginal!
Seriously, you couldn't even have given the illusion of bi-partisanship by mentioning Obama saying America has 57 states, or any number of the wackjob things Biden has said? Somehow I doubt you'll make videos about Chris Young, the Democrat running for mayor of Providence, or mention the multiple times Fred Phelps ran for governor of Kansas as a Democrat.
@TheRealAkaRai I'm nonpartisan. I've used the 57 states clip twice, and I've mocked Biden, as well as other Dems. It's true that I do more vids about conservatives, but I don't lean liberal. There's just no liberal equivalent of an anti-gay man caught with a male prostitute, and, sadly, when I do right-leaning vids, conservatives often don't realize I'm joking and hate it, while liberals do realize I'm joking and hate it.
Send me a funny clip of Chris Young, and I'll make a video about it!!
@FAILocracy Fair enough. I'll certainly admit Basil Marceaux dot com is a goldmine, and Chris Young's clips are more awkward and uncomfortable than hilarious, generally, but so far the clips of him I've seen include him reading from notes during an interview with a local station and then pulling out a tape recorder and spending the rest of the interview singing a song he wrote, proposing to his girlfriend during a mayoral debate, and carrying a statue of the virgin mary into another debate.
thats the best part about political satire. liberals can take a joke and laugh at themselves, conservatives can't STAND it when directed at them! makes me laugh.
@DarkKnightBob1o1 haha, sadly, no. That's the real Palin :P But I believe Fey spoofed it by repeating it word-for-word with "actual quote" over the screen?
@FAILocracy lol I remember watching it and thinking no WAY is that palin even she's not that dumb and then realised it was a fake. Now I learn it IS real!
Three hundred million-jillion blue fish are having a pleasent discussion with a nice cup-a-tea in George Bush's living room about The Insurrection of Subjugated Knowledges. Also, you're more likely to die in two plane crashes than to die in a plane crash, believe it or not.
@gmillergt3 Yeah, it was just a joke; I know people inTennessee who aren't rednecks. I actually come from a small muck farming town in Michigan. Now THERE's a place to find rednecks!
@dpcamp Check out my most recent video. My new camera is 1280x720 at 30fps, although I had to export from Sony Vegas at 25fps because the files were getting too big; I'm still tinkering with it.
He doesn't look like the guy who got things togeather like Obama but that tells me he's not like all the other bastards who use ridiculous words to avoid actually answering a question.
@kaa3164 yeah the reason why obama sold himself so well is he is a good speaker and knows how to use his words to manipulate the less intelligent. It is hard to distinguish between who you can trust and who you can't and the way obama portrayaed himself got him elected.
@P4TRi0T5 I like Marceaux, so I reviewed this video after your comment, and I don't see anything truly-disparaging. There's satire, but nothing inherently negative.
The only real shots I took were at Bush and Palin, who seem fair targets. I share many beliefs with Marceaux, but, sadly, the conspiracy theories behind his approach don't stand to scrutiny.
Satire like this helped raise his profile so he gained a measurable vote for the first time in his political career. Is that pathetic?
@FAILocracy ok, so i apologize for not thinking about what your really trying to do. i personally feel like this video is just for making fun, considering he doesn't speak proper english and really at times doesn't seem to know what he is talking about. but everyone is entitled to there own opionins.
lmao i live in TN and im in Polical action club and they told me to look this guy up lol we have some fucked up people here!! stay away colorado's nicer.. they dont have basil marceuax.com he is a retarted..
"Many of the 19 cases involved misdemeanor traffic infractions. Marceaux, 57, was found not guilty by reason of insanity on July 25, 2005, in seven cases involving mostly traffic offenses ranging from driving an unregistered vehicle to failing to have insurance, according to court records."
lol INSANITY!
Seriously though Americans, all jokes aside, who the FUCK votes for someone like this for a political seat? I think he's hilarious and great, but he fucking will run your state to the ground.
They should set up some kind of an government position that does absolutely nothing, so that we can elect people like Basil Marceaux dot com and let them brighten our days with the silly things they say.
@chinesemusicDJ I believe we already have that; it's called "vice president!" :P Although there's that whole "first in the line of succession" thing...
@JimmysNordon Oh, sxephil. I searched his page, and I can't find anything about Basil Marceaux, so you must not be accusing me of ripping off his comments. You must be accusing me of ripping off his "rapid cutting" style? But that would be pretty stupid because that style is all over the Internet, and it has been around since at least the 1980s. (It's also called "MTV Style.") So what am I ripping off from him?
His disorganized speaking and a tendency to wander from one topic to another or multiple points together makes me think he's schizophrenic. The guy acts a lot like Wesley Willis.
This is an example of an old political technique called 'controlled opposition'. Many unaware, suggestible morons in Amerika (who happen to perceive themselves as being very bright) will associate some real issues and solutions with "That retarded Basil guy who was on Comedy Central", such as preserving the Second Amendment, routing out corruption, putting judges in their place in regard to common-law, and more productive use of public property. Welcome to an Idiocratic Democracy, the Neu-USA.
@metemi Many reasons. First, because the Internet is an active, rather than passive medium, such as tv. Online viewers have short attention-spans. Eliminating the natural pauses from speech adds visual interest to lengthen the viewer's attention-span while shortening the video.
Also, because most of us don't get paid for it, we don't have time to re-shoot entire takes if we make a mistake. Rapid cuts allow us to re-shoot single lines without disrupting the flow.
@FAILocracy Well that was a good answer! It has now become a sort of style I suppose which has started to cross over into television. At least I think it has.
@theresidentone haha, it seems ironic how the emphasis on the (non-existent,) second "t" in that word was probably done in an attempt to appear more articulate/educated.
@FAILocracy Let's work out a deal. I'll punch you, then take a commission on the generous offer from @zeepman. Thanks Zeep! We can then pool our money to get Basil and Sarah on the ballot in 2012. If there are any leftover's we could get Snooky on in Jersey and Richard Simmons in California. All are better that the previous or current office holders.
he's american, his health insurance will only pay for three teeth, but hey he doesn't have to eat that much because he can mash it up with his bong water that he has left over from selling and smoking the front lawn
Consider this early campaign quote from California's governor when asked what is best in life: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women” ... it's working for Conan in Cali, so, why not BasilMarceauxdotcom? If B wins in T I expect the gubmint to annex the state if only to distance themselves from the awful truth of failocracy - if that happens, I'm loadin' up the truck and moving to Tennessee. Any word from Dolly Parton on this? Call her!
@FAILocracy Anybody who questions your excellence or criticizes you is a troll? Well anyway, since you provoked me, your face is on par with but the reddest baboon's arse in all th'land of Africae.
@RedDaVincy No, you're the first person I've called a troll on youtube. Seriously. You can verify this. And I did it because, in simply dismissing me as a Marceaux "n00b," without any substantial argument, you appear to be "someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community... with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response...," or, by definition, a troll.
@RedDaVincy And you hold yourself in too high regard for a painfully-unfunny retard without half the brain cells of Basil Marceaux, but it's really too bad your little brain was too tired from whacking off to treasure troll porn to read my rebuttal because, not only was it refutable, but the only reason I feed trolls is that they push my comment count up.
But you know you're a troll. All the comments on your profile are from people pissed off at you. :P
Hey dumbass! Basil is not from Tennessee. Tennesseans are much more intelligent than that. Basil is a transplant from Pennsylvania. Look at what they have as governor there. Rendell is a hack. Look at the senators there. I rest my case.
@JeffDowdy hahaha, I never expected to get so much flack for that line about Tennessee! I honestly didn't know Marceaux was from Pennsylvania, but I do know that he has a degree from Edmondson Junior College, which is in Tennessee.
@JeffDowdy I have to confess that I'm not good with accents. I'm from Michigan, but I'm currently living in Phoenix, and it seems like half of the people down here (and in Texas) sound exactly like me. Obviously, I am missing some nuance.
Although it also seems like half of Phoenix's population is made up of people who fled Michigan, so that could explain some of it. :P
I hadn't heard of Edmonson Jr. College either, but the fact that it lacks a Wikipedia page doesn't bode well for it. :S
Your an idiot, Sarah Palin has nothing to do with this guy, besides how many newspapers do you read? I noticed you don't have any clips of Al Gore talking about how he invented the internet? If democracy is "Failing" its because of people like you.
I don't read any print newspapers, but I do read Reason Magazine, Reuters, Huffington Post, National Review, Forbes, and the NY Times, to name a few...
You won't find Al Gore's Internet-invention gaffe on FAILocracy because it happened a full decade before I started the site. But you will find more-timely political FAILs from Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other Democrats. I even have a parody of "An Inconvenient Truth," mocking Al Gore. No one gets a pass.
Holy Fuck... Do you *really* think that Al Gore was seriously taking credit for inventing the internet? "I *invented* (insert cliche here)" is an old stand-by. Remember George on Seinfeld saying, "I *invented* 'It's not you, it's me'."?
@ReverendAnimal01 Yeah, I only had so many characters, for my reply, but there is a very good Snopes article and exactly what Al Gore did say and the fact that it didn't actually constitute a claim to have invented the Internet.
Hey this guy rocks. He's better than Wario and smarter than Dan Quayle! I think he should run for President! Just think, after 4 years the US would finally be able to drop its pretences and become an out and out theocracy, where evolution isn't taught in schools, filled with gun toting nuts, run by fundies and mega-corporations... oops too late, we're already there. But then what do you expect after Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes?
@FAILocracy More like in the middle of it and we all know that 'it' rhymes with the end product of the digestive system. On a serious note you say he's just from TN, well so am I. I was born in Memphis and I know what it is to grow up in the oppressive poverty and ignorance that pervades the South. That's why, even though I detest and mock his foolishness, I understand and sympathise with him. He has 3 teeth because he couldn't afford dental care, he's ignorant because he's uneducated.
@colourmegone Yeah, I never meant for the Tennessee comment to offend anyone, as it apparently has. (I'm from the second-poorest county in Michigan, and jokes about the "hicks" from my hometown don't bother me, but I could have been more sensitive.) I was fortunate to have had dental care as a child, but I also feel for Marceaux. I didn't mean the 3 teeth line as a joke, just to explain the way he talks because other people have suggested he has down syndrome.
@FAILocracy I'm not offended, honest. I think the South is an 'it' hole and I would never go back there. Just pointing out, hate the foolishness, not the fool, chances are he can't help it. My good deed for the day, ain't I wonderful? (Don't applaud, just send money!)
@AwesomPossumReviews In case you haven't seen it yet, or if anyone else wants it, you'll find it if you search "My Interview with Basil Marceaux - Part 1 of 4" in Youtube.
Yeah I had a problem about the Tennessee thing as well -.- I'm from Cali but my mom and most of my family was born in Tennessee...so I did take slight offense. Otehrwise, the video was hilarious lol.
@VeggieTrunks Eh, I'm writing this from Tennessee right now. I think you just have to take it all with a grain of salt :) I mean, come on...no wonder people think Tennesseans (and Southerners in general) are...what's the word...unique? You just have to put yourself above the "masses."
Oh come on, don't act like you can't tell a Southern story when you hear one though! I live in a glass house as I mentioned above so don't get me wrong, and I was slightly offended by whatever the hell I was replying to lol but there are VALID reasons that people say certain things about the South. It is not that those stereotypes are true of ALL southerners, but that when those stereotypes are involved, the people are damn near always Southern.
Is it sad that the channel he was on is my local news channel..? And that I live in the same state? He disgraces Tennessee..

I know my grandpa only had three teeth, and he was always going on about selling grass and the tyranny of traffic stops.
Because he had three teeth. That's what you do when you have three teeth.

Consider this early campaign quote from California's governor when asked what is best in life: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women” ... it's working for Conan in Cali, so, why not BasilMarceauxdotcom? If B wins in T I expect the gubmint to annex the state if only to distance themselves from the awful truth of failocracy - if that happens, I'm loadin' up the truck and moving to Tennessee. Any word from Dolly Parton on this? Call her!

RedDaVincy 1 year ago
@RedDaVincy No, you're the first person I've called a troll on youtube. Seriously. You can verify this. And I did it because, in simply dismissing me as a Marceaux "n00b," without any substantial argument, you appear to be "someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community... with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response...," or, by definition, a troll.

@RedDaVincy And you hold yourself in too high regard for a painfully-unfunny retard without half the brain cells of Basil Marceaux, but it's really too bad your little brain was too tired from whacking off to treasure troll porn to read my rebuttal because, not only was it refutable, but the only reason I feed trolls is that they push my comment count up.
But you know you're a troll. All the comments on your profile are from people pissed off at you. :P

Hey dumbass! Basil is not from Tennessee. Tennesseans are much more intelligent than that. Basil is a transplant from Pennsylvania. Look at what they have as governor there. Rendell is a hack. Look at the senators there. I rest my case.
JeffDowdy 1 year ago
@JeffDowdy hahaha, I never expected to get so much flack for that line about Tennessee! I honestly didn't know Marceaux was from Pennsylvania, but I do know that he has a degree from Edmondson Junior College, which is in Tennessee.
FAILocracy 1 year ago
@FAILocracy Listen to his accent. He is a yankee. I have never heard of Edmondson Jr. College. I am sure he is worthy of a 2-year degree. LOL
JeffDowdy 1 year ago
@JeffDowdy I have to confess that I'm not good with accents. I'm from Michigan, but I'm currently living in Phoenix, and it seems like half of the people down here (and in Texas) sound exactly like me. Obviously, I am missing some nuance.
Although it also seems like half of Phoenix's population is made up of people who fled Michigan, so that could explain some of it. :P
I hadn't heard of Edmonson Jr. College either, but the fact that it lacks a Wikipedia page doesn't bode well for it. :S

Your an idiot, Sarah Palin has nothing to do with this guy, besides how many newspapers do you read? I noticed you don't have any clips of Al Gore talking about how he invented the internet? If democracy is "Failing" its because of people like you.

@swizzle420 My an idiot?
I don't read any print newspapers, but I do read Reason Magazine, Reuters, Huffington Post, National Review, Forbes, and the NY Times, to name a few...
You won't find Al Gore's Internet-invention gaffe on FAILocracy because it happened a full decade before I started the site. But you will find more-timely political FAILs from Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other Democrats. I even have a parody of "An Inconvenient Truth," mocking Al Gore. No one gets a pass.

@swizzle420
Holy Fuck... Do you *really* think that Al Gore was seriously taking credit for inventing the internet? "I *invented* (insert cliche here)" is an old stand-by. Remember George on Seinfeld saying, "I *invented* 'It's not you, it's me'."?
ReverendAnimal01 1 year ago
@ReverendAnimal01 Yeah, I only had so many characters, for my reply, but there is a very good Snopes article and exactly what Al Gore did say and the fact that it didn't actually constitute a claim to have invented the Internet.

Hey this guy rocks. He's better than Wario and smarter than Dan Quayle! I think he should run for President! Just think, after 4 years the US would finally be able to drop its pretences and become an out and out theocracy, where evolution isn't taught in schools, filled with gun toting nuts, run by fundies and mega-corporations... oops too late, we're already there. But then what do you expect after Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes?

@FAILocracy More like in the middle of it and we all know that 'it' rhymes with the end product of the digestive system. On a serious note you say he's just from TN, well so am I. I was born in Memphis and I know what it is to grow up in the oppressive poverty and ignorance that pervades the South. That's why, even though I detest and mock his foolishness, I understand and sympathise with him. He has 3 teeth because he couldn't afford dental care, he's ignorant because he's uneducated.
colourmegone 1 year ago
@colourmegone Yeah, I never meant for the Tennessee comment to offend anyone, as it apparently has. (I'm from the second-poorest county in Michigan, and jokes about the "hicks" from my hometown don't bother me, but I could have been more sensitive.) I was fortunate to have had dental care as a child, but I also feel for Marceaux. I didn't mean the 3 teeth line as a joke, just to explain the way he talks because other people have suggested he has down syndrome.
FAILocracy 1 year ago
@FAILocracy I'm not offended, honest. I think the South is an 'it' hole and I would never go back there. Just pointing out, hate the foolishness, not the fool, chances are he can't help it. My good deed for the day, ain't I wonderful? (Don't applaud, just send money!)

@VeggieTrunks Eh, I'm writing this from Tennessee right now. I think you just have to take it all with a grain of salt :) I mean, come on...no wonder people think Tennesseans (and Southerners in general) are...what's the word...unique? You just have to put yourself above the "masses."

Oh come on, don't act like you can't tell a Southern story when you hear one though! I live in a glass house as I mentioned above so don't get me wrong, and I was slightly offended by whatever the hell I was replying to lol but there are VALID reasons that people say certain things about the South. It is not that those stereotypes are true of ALL southerners, but that when those stereotypes are involved, the people are damn near always Southern.
