  • Comment removed

  • @JRex63 Sadly, recently I have met some community collage dropouts who have taken on the rallying cry that the Current elected American President is not an intellectual. I'm no Ivy league graduate (though I did sit on in classes at Brown for 3 months) I'm smart, but was a lazy teen. The people who do not say they disagree with The President but call him stupid? Well although they may have mastered the use of the AM portion of the radio dial they seem to have not progressed beyond that.

  • am i drunk or is this for real fun?just let jim carrey do all the work dude

  • John is famouse ?

  • His humor is too self deprecating but it breaks the ice I guess.

  • latin brides so sexy **busizz4me.info**

  • John should never be on TV

  • John Im truly impressed

    Happy New Year and God Bless

  • John what are you thinking my friend ??

    still worth seeing

    Happy Holidays John

  • NnnnnEEEEEEERRRRRRDDDDDDDSSSSS­SSSSssssssssssssZzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • John Rocks !

  • Lol. Imagine Bush being the president in that situation.Hodgman would be in guantanamo

  • @Fireonmyhand

    What? Clearly you didn't see what Colbert did to bush. What John did was a back rub compared to that.

  • John very impressive and well said

  • Seems kind of odd how this video of John Hodgman is coming up in a related video next to

    John Lennon

    John Denver

    John Mayer

    and the movie Dear John ?

    Why does this sort of thing happen on youtube ?

    I could see if he was talking about guitar hero

  • John you know I love your video

    Thank you

    John

  • John this video ROCKS !!! Thanks for sharing it with me man

    really enjoyed the video john

  • John's dinner interview .. 

    Very famouse

    Love the new videos

  • John Hodgman is hyper-overrated.  So pretentious, which of course he veils with faux-self deprecation.

  • thank i like it

  • DUNNNNNNNNNNNEEE!!! Oh gods, would we not tremble and bow to our knees if Obama was the Kwisatz Haderach. My heart fills with great joy to hear so many Dune references strung so closely together, such a glorious forgotten gem.

  • kwisatz haderach :D :D

  • Sb4Sb

  • LOL! This guy has been trying to warn people about the disaster that is coming, how the official version of History of the last 100 years is complete bullshit, how the political class (including Barack Oprompter) are nothing but puppets of a higher power and 99,99999% of you just dont get it...its hilarious, Hodgman is a hero and simply hilarious.

    Get ready for the Hobo Holocaust cause its coming...New World Order just like it says in the dollar bill...

  • @GodHatesPortugal yes its all fake bullshit, how can people think this is cool, to dress up in suits and talk shit for an hour while America is still in a crisis? Fcuking faggits the real world is man vs nature.

  • I for one, am proud, PROUD, that our president is not a jock, but is a nerd, albeit one who doesn't know every esoteric detail. May the lack of intellectualism of 2001 to 2009 never again return to the White House.

  • I'm a nerd/geek and I am a badass. WOO!

  • "Mr. Hodgeman roasted the president"? That wasn't a roasting at all.

  • 1) Shai-hulud

    2) Thumper

    3) Water of life

    XDD

  • Nerds created the Internet, 4chan,YouTube, Windows, iPhone... Nerds are our teachers, our mentors, our bosses, our... okay, The Yanks' president.

    All in all. One should be proud to be called 'nerd'.

    ...

    Okay, now that's all said, I can safely say that I'm a nerd. Yay, no shame!

  • @aquapendulum You realize 4chan pretty much cancels out the rest of that list, right?

  • @excallq Erm... no, the nerd that created 4chan was moot, and that's one nerd.

  • #VIDEOPOSTERID#, now there definitely is a good website that anyone can goto for you to enjoy full television episodes, sport matches and movies. It's over at stream episodes (.) net and I started using it each day to watch all of the television shows I miss.

    John Hodgman at Radio & TV Correspondents' Dinner

  • Someone please tell the camera guy he doesn't have to follow every tiny movement of the speaker.  It's making me sick.

  • So much better than Leno. Also, fuck Leno.

  • The icing on the cake is the Princess Irulan quotes!

  • Sooo... Is he, as I, being a Troper and all that, am compusorily forced to ask with some letters in caps, One Of Us? Or is he a Half Huma- I mean, Nerd Hybrid? What is he? Is perhaps that question's answer what they're referring to when they say that These Are Things Man Was Not Meant To Know? Would we all Go Mad From The Revelation, or would we Ascend To A Higher Plane Of Existence? The mathematicians of the world are all united in their opinion, and their resounding answer is: Yes.

  • @privatepyle82 NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  • @privatepyle82 not your personal army.

  • I can't believe that I remember this but

    1. Shai-hulud

    2. Thumper

    3. Water of life.

  • @Unclesamslair They were softball questions.

  • @Unclesamslair I was thinking the same thing! You and me - we're smarting than the president for sure.

  • triumph of the geeks

  • epic.

  • I love hodgeman but i found this speech/bit/what ever to be rather dry. I mean there were some great parts but he didnt seem as on as he usually acts. 4/5

  • @sociopathix I agree entirely, but he must be careful around the president.

  • @sociopathix I actually think he was nervous. His pacing was faster than his normal too. I'd be nervous too, in that situation. But he was great nevertheless.

  • I love the way he delivers one msg to Barack.. good one!

  • hihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  • Wow.

    I love how Hodgeman's smart enough that he can make some veiled criticisms in there and get away with it without anyone knowing it!

  • @KRSONMar Like what?

  • LLAP=teh win.

  • Shai-Hulud

    Thumper

    Water of LIfe

  • I heard Kwisatz Haderach and I gigglesnorted.

    And yeah, they WERE easy questions! Haha.

  • You must be a jock! :-)

  • I LOVE this guy! The Dune reference could not be more true. Only a few of us nerds out there actually have read Dune and would know what the Kwisatz Haderach is!

  • omg obama is a nerd! awesome!

  • obama drips charisma <3

  • PC! HAHAH LOVE THAT GUY

  • JH is the SHIT.

  • John Hodgman is my owl faced weak-chinned geek hero!

  • Oh course, the answer is: Shai Hulud, a thumper, and the Water of Life - Duh!

  • and an amazing band

  • "There are talks in some states of even decriminalizing evolution." - LOL

  • This speech is brilliant. It's so funny and well written.

  • "The president is known to dabble in sports. And not just bowling, but the hard stuff. What they call... basketsballs." hahahahaha John Hodgman's hilarious.

  • LOL 9:28 the Prez is awesome sometimes.

  • Fuck... I'd never heard of this. Hilarious.

    a. shai-hulud

    b. thumper

    c. water of life

  • Nerdlings, unite!

    Great speech.

  • Yes, LeadAngelWarrior, it's true if you are both paranoid and batshit insane. Otherwise, not so much.

  • Quality speech.

  • That was a amazing speech he gave. he is so funny. Him and stephen colbert are probably the best people to ever entertain at this thing.

  • did that man just use the word "spockish?"

  • spockish clam and gangly frame ha ha ha ha.

  • "Have you and your family chosen a church in which to worship Krom yet?"

    Epic line.

  • good speech. i luv the definition of jocks and athletes. kinda like chickenhawks and soldiers. macho macho man. i got the line about "cheerleader". he he. jocks and "strict constructionists" is good, ala sonia sotomayor. now, let's replace scalia with the complete opposite. that would be so awesome. LOL, the constitutional framers "believed god was a distant and uncaring dungeon monster".

    "there is talk in some states, of even decriminalising evolution." ouch!!!!

  • @tomitstube

    Dungeon Master, Refered to as the DM, essentially the referee/guy who plays all of the antagonists in a dungeon and dragons game. There's more to the joke than that but there's a character limit. Just look up the importance of having a good involved DM.

  • @SomeNofA - Well, he was also referring to the fact that a bunch of the founders were Deists -- they believed that G*d set the world in motion, and then declined to intervene to help anyone out after that. Similarly, it's a DM's job to create the world and administer the rules impartially, rather than providing information (prophecy) or help (miracles) to the Player Characters.

  • what fucking panty wetting tampon wearing bitchboy delusional world do you live in girl?

  • Not True. The army revoked the deployment orders and the judge dismissed the case. No victory for either side.

  • hi Lead, what's up ? Long time eh ?

  • I'm pretty sure that from 10:58 to 11:12 consists of Hodgman having a bit of a nerdgasm.

  • I love how smart and well-spoken John is. This was fantastic.

  • Hodgman's humor was perfect for the evening. I found him to be entertaining and charming.

  • The answers are: Shai-Hulud, a Thumper, and The Water of Life.

    Yes, I am a nerd.

  • Great speech. The organizers chose wisely when selecting Hodgman. His brand of humor is a breath of fresh air in our vulgar times.

  • "make the american people laugh and they will except even hitler or stalin..."

    Hey, we were laughing at Bush for 8 years!!! Now it's time for the high brow comedy.

  • republican much?

  • "They should have roasted his ass over a open fire attached to a BBQ spit with a tomato stuffed up his ass. This act would have been very beneficial to the America he is intent on destroying."

    "Republican..you bet. Card carrying and proud of it. "

    Please display that card at all times and tell your firends to do so as well!

    I want to make sure I know who the retarded hateful idiots are.

    Thank you!

  • fuck BETA

  • They're called Shai-Hulud!

  • @brainfreeze: I was so disappointed when I had to Google that and part 3! (I remembered the Thumper, though.) Looks like I'm due for a re-read....

  • Babbagalush!

  • John Hodgman epic talk

  • Yes...it is an exciting time to be a nerd

  • Great video. John Hodgman is masterful in his delivery.

  • Just fantastic.
