2011: The Year Beyond Words

[Cryout5200]

0:25, the guy being hurt and asked ''what's your name''. Where and when is that? Occupy movement?

[slashmaster14]

song?

[comrade9191]

3:07 whos tha guy?

[RyanLikesAmp]

@comrade9191 Anders Behring Breivik

[CONFLlCT]

a wedding? Big deal.

[xxAngelxx112]

who is the little girl playing the instrument?

[RyanLikesAmp]

@xxAngelxx112 Milly Dowler

[starindamaking25]

I survived through 2011. I wonder if i'll live through this year

[Seemorerocks97]

This video does not begin to reflect on the duplicitous nature of Obama, whose rhetoric is beautiful while he signs into law an Act allowing for indefinite detention of Americans.

I would have included the London riots - rather than the royal wedding.

[egobrainss1]

@Seemorerocks97 so true! exactly what i was thinking afterwards!

other than that, good video. this year has been a rocky ride!

[Seemorerocks97]

My thoughts exactly - why the bloody royal wedding - what is significant about that?!!

[AlexRocks77]

Why in the hell is there the damn royal wedding in this video...

[wknclover]

and people ask me why I'm angry all the time...

[abdigadar16]

Dont forget the starving people in Somalia :(

[ikkeu7]

What's the song?

[RyanLikesAmp]

@ikkeu7 The Height of Summer by The Knife

[MrMrDubs]

2011- the year liberal jackasses and hippies made fools of themselves in the streets

[FlasKamel]

I miss Kadhafi :( He was cool.

[m00hzor]

Welcome the image of the real world.

Freedom, what a word.

[jpdt007]

Middleton: The ultimate whore

[serbocroat]

just reminds me of how much i hate the world

[YXZ729]

Why is the royal wedding included in this video? I find it insulting that anyone believes it bares any relevance other than the the audacity of the cost.

[sarahjanekennedy1991]

the kings of leon bassist jared tweeted this link

[jacquesgambl36]

This video is a favorite on Madagascar

[crackerguy42]

This things are all crazy to think about but at the same time, its kind of inspirational how despite most of these horrible events, the world keeps on turning and moving forward.

[soupjam]

What about the people revolutions in Tunisia, Bahrain and Yemen.

[mmmfahh]

what was that @ 2:48 someone support a link please (:.

[beo546]

This video is way better than the google one.

[ernieconner718]

This video went viral on Andorra

[SpenceIsAChef]

Kim Jong il died after the video was made. And it doesn't make much sense to add him. Sure he was a big name leader, but it's still yet to be seen what will happen in North Korea in the wake of his death.

[aftermathsample305]

what about Kim Jong il? this video sucks if they didnt talk about that... you wanted to make a video about 2011 stuff? should have made it on January 1st lol

[MetalCookieMusic]

Lots of change going on in this year

[TASSOS502]

you forgot the Joplin tornadoes but that's OK I just hope nobody else did

[zenya123]

Well if things do get FUCKED UP in 2012 it's world war 3, aka, nuclear war. Look it up.

[ARFEvans]

Kim Jong Il needs to be added to this...

[randumbnass]

Ashamed to be human. We are doing a wonderful job of coexisting.

[irishmark]

It's sad to see the reaction of Americans just after Obama's announcement of Bin Laden's death. To see people celebrating the death of another human being is shameful. Bin Laden may have been a terrible man but no-ones death should be celebrated, Same goes for Gaddafi's death. Nobody's death should be celebrated however being freed from an oppressive regime is a great reason to celebrate.

[BlueSquareMusic]

In the last few days: Christopher Hitchens & Kim Jung-Il.

R.I.P. Hitch, you will be missed.

[lukejonesme]

You've done a brilliant job of creating the retrospective. I think the song choice was brilliant.

[tanman1110]

Kim Jong il is now added to the list

[mcktbfl]

What the hell was the royal wedding doing in the middle of all this? Wow - some super rich people spent too much money on an over-the-top wedding while people in their country and around the world are starving. Nice. That's not a big event - that's a stupid event.

[SpenceIsAChef]

@mcktbfl It's a big event in the sense that a ton of people around the world celebrated it, while an even large number spoke out agianst the ridiculous spending involved.

[Stigsnake5]

@mcktbfl They make most of the money off the land they own. The profits are turned over to the government VOLUNTARILY.

[StoryMile]

Really? of all the songs in the world, you think this one suits the mood? Terrible choice.

[theprofserb]

@StoryMile i actualy quite like the song selection. its a good back drop. it adds a errie effect to a verry errie year.

[drfizzle420]

1:48-2:01 who fucking cares

[tanman1110]

Pretty Sure Hitler was the worst or Stalin.

[tanman1110]

2011 had alot of ups and downs.

[SpenceIsAChef]

All these powerful things happened this year. And then there's the Royal Wedding...

[supercell42]

just another day in paradise

[kasperlasper]

what's the man at 2:39 called?

[Jacobwr1]

@kasperlasper Steve Coogan.

[shadowcharizard10]

damn

the only reason i didnt know half of this stuff is because i dont watch the news

[Bozguyon]

So we're pretty much all fucked.

[sejanikphx]

wow, this year now seems kind of depressing

[KRAZYKENNY479]

Notice how the bad things out-weighed the good things in this video.

[Jinx9lives]

Wow.

[Cheezefish]

The worst tyrant the world has ever seen? I think the jews beg to differ ...

[Azrectesh]

No mention of wikileaks?

[UberLeet69]

Dude, wow...

[supermegasonic]

so basically only 10% percent of this year was good, the rest is just a disaster.

[candyapplegirl1516]

@supermegasonic Basically.

[niklas1395]

RIP Jack Layton

[Malkintosh]

I didn't realize how much 2011 sucked until now.

[Cougarlolol]

this has been a fucked up year... prepare for zombie apocalypse

[benlorenc]

2011: the year the NWO stepped it up

[KidBajan]

And out of everything in this video, the only enlightening thing was the Royal Wedding....which I didn't really care about.

[nity52]

Too awesome for HD?

[snoopy7033]

shit year

[RiverRockFilms]

Why is the thumb now blue when you press the like button?

[rakketakke]

maybe you have to say that this is the year 2011 for the western people. No news from the far east was included. Think about that

[sambmx382]

missed a vital part...........the phenomenon known as rebecca black

[Callum1294]

Jesus, Focus on the bad side of this year why don't you.... I dislike this video!

[Diareahpants]

@Callum1294 hey! fuck you!

[Callum1294]

@Diareahpants oooh killer comment

[Imatrollyay]

@Callum1294 A video focusing on the good of this year would fit best on 5secondfilms.

[someprsn14]

that was 2011, I'm truly scared what 2012 will bring us next

[xoxkangelsxox]

What lays hidden for us in 2012...

[mikegkeating]

What a year! Good video, but it is missing a couple of key events I think should be included if you're summing up the year. They include the Sudanese referendum, most of the Arab Spring, a major famine in Somalia, the space shuttle program coming to an end, Thailand floods, Chilean Volcano, the London riots, U.S. having their credit rating downgraded to AA+, the fact that there are now over 7 billion of us, and my birthday!

[SimplyTheUsual]

Gaddafi was a good man. He turned Libya from a shit hole to one of the best countries ever.

[littlemisDana]

@SimplyTheUsual Well that's like saying Hitler is a good guy too. They both did good things, but very very terrible bad things. The bad outways the good.

[SimplyTheUsual]

@littlemisDana I think you should google how Gaddafi changed Libya and the reason the whole civil war/riots started.

[drewitt8]

wow this year was shittier then i thought

[ReviewsByErik]

2012 is gonna be a LOT worse. Hope you're prepared.

[OoohAPurpleTurtle]

wow, i completely forgot about the norway attacks :O

[kvithamra]

Good video, I would have wished that you had included the horrible catastrophy on the horn of Africa with the droubt. That was/is still horrible

[archangelmichael1978]

In this video, change we can believe in. :/

[farahmariokartwii]

this year sucked 2012 has go get better !

[disasterlover]

That is just 5% of what happenned in 2011

[phizzypop122]

Fuck 2012's up next

[cheesenip369]

this make me look at how lucky and thankful i should be

[KidsleyKreations]

DAMMIT I WAS GONNA DO THIS!

[minimatt37]

When I saw Steve I got chills… :(

[Bleepblue]

This year has been pretty fucked up. 2012 is gonna have a tough time beating it, unless that whole end of the world thing happens, but that's cheating.

[btsksc0976]

@Bleepblue With the whole end of the world thing, it possibly may happen but not such a way as the world ending but mankind ending. Think about it there are a lot of people who actually believe that the world will end, so people won't give a fuck and start shootings, or commit suicides because they don't want to see the world end.

[casanovaarmy]

@Bleepblue Take it from someone who is currently deployed, this is nothing. things are about to grow exponentially. most important thing you can do is research why things are the way they are and make your own choice in life and fight for what you believe in, just make sure you reevaluate your views every week or so and never stop questioning why and how to fix it.

[AssassinParkour]

@Bleepblue I think that 2011 was, as some call it, "the beginning of the end".

2012 is not gonna be blood-rain, or a rapture, or a zombie apocalypse, or anything like that. It's gonna be the collapse of civilization, "the world as we know it". IF not, then it's gonna be something like Homefront.

[danesesse]

Funny central asia is not mentioned...just saying you can ponder why.

[monsterpda]

yeah, 2011 was a clusterfuck =/

[thesofakillers]

can someone give me the link to the vid at 2:48 ? plz

[Danjiruto]

4 mins is waaaaaay too short to sum up what a cluster fuck this year has been

[thewalkingjesusfish]

No Lulzsec?

[MynamesRAnonymous]

History repeats itself. 

[PointBlanc54]

So much death and despair

[TheGreatSteve]

I like this because it seems balanced as opposed to being overly left wing.

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

:)

[alativalmis]

The end of the world is beginning!

[Keyjolfson]

It is always the darkest before dawn. Humanity might be young but i believe in a better tomorrow for me and my children, I will not stand here and judge anyone but strive to be a better person so that others may take up my example

[AREyouDUMB111]

@Keyjolfson isnt that from the dark knight??

[Keyjolfson]

@AREyouDUMB111 yeah but re-worded a bit, still rings very true to how i feel

[wolfvckingvision]

strange choice of music

[thenofxer]

Still barbaric. Maybe religion has something to do with it?

[ackbarkazar]

man... this year was brutal...

[mikeyp1230]

Great job Barry !

[BuddyxEric]

the human species is leading to self destruction

[samuentaga]

of course, no mention of the floods in thailand, which were almost as devastating as the tsunami in Japan. The occupy movement completely overshadowed it, which to me is kind of sad.

[Monoija]

fuck this world is really broken. We need to fix this shit.

[ZedAxelC]

wow this year was shitty but idk

[fluffsnuff]

Sad to see aggies make this cut

[LukeKoman]

i fucken hate this world

[RykoShay1]

some real thought provoking shit hapnd this year. no way all this could b downplayed

[BlazingAngelzzz]

hmmm

[oHolllie]

2011 year or "The Riot"

[NcoldBlood123]

"The worst tyrant the world has ever seen?" They need to be more educated. But in their minds I guess he would've been the worst, idk.

[underoath55000]

all this violence makes me sad :/

[huberhg]

"governments don't rule the world... goldman sachs rules the world"

[leylander]

RIP AMY!

[mccracken65]

the stupid fuckin hipster music just ruins this wonderful video

[TriptalkGuy]

you should have included man united going out of the UCL. That was a disaster too :(

[hammer13ful]

Oh hey look at all the free loading pieces of shit that are getting whats coming to them in this liberally biased video!

[TriptalkGuy]

the awkward moment when someone walks in and you pause the video and slide down to the comments.

[DisguisedBandit]

Man...2011 sucked balls...

[Crazelord91]

fuck... i ddnt realize hw bad ths yr was till i saw this

[YTuAintGrizzBaby]

It's fucked up how amy whinehouse is featured in this but the earthquake in christchurch wasnt.

[Nick4700]

This is why we can't have nice things...

[theseamusexperience]

lol

[DarkNemesis25]

terrible music and terrible music choice..

[LoverCod]

i will not get gadoffi's dead face out of my head

[wemosam]

@LoverCod Neither can I, I remember hearing of his death, felt liberated. And he hadnt affected my life at all

[MonsieurGrandVizier]

@LoverCod omg...that was messed up

[cinloykko]

@LoverCod omg! i wasnt expecting to see his head either. too graphic for me!!! @.@

[C9R9D]

2011: Year of Revolution



[PoptartDevourer]

So basically, in the scope of human existence, nothing has changed. Good to know.

[GuiltySpark4312]

Well I really hope 2012 doesn't end with a big bang!... I know i already knocked on wood

[9876710]

I put up my middle fingers to the wedding. there's nothing special that effects the world.

[MrAriel927]

2011 was the worst year I have ever seen

[jokersshs]

lol you put in the royal wedding and not the death of osama

[13dannyboy13]

@jokersshs it was at the very beginning retard

[DaDerpMan]

what happened at 1:44 ?

[ENez0]

@DaDerpMan

An Occupy Wall Street protester that got shot in the head with a rubber bullet. A Veteran, too, if I remember correctly.

[odabi13]

I hope next year isnt worse :(

[WhiteShaq93]

lol. "worst tyrant the world has ever seen?" I think someone needs to read up on their world war 2 history

[TitoSilvey]

@WhiteShaq93 You didn't live it. I agree Hitler was worse, but the people that lived through Gaddafi's reign will say it's the worst because they experienced it.

This was an incredible year. The Arab nations rose in revolt, the question is what will happen in America next year. Occupy continues on, the NDAA has been signed. It seems revolution is coming to America. Let's hope it wakes up before the police state is begun.

[irokatcod4]

i feel like ive been living under a rock.

[Seanjohn9851]

what a crazy year it was...

[prsguitar6910]

wow this seems like a freaking movie, i cannot believe stuff like this is happening or happened.

[Brianistheman03]

That was just the last 9 months

[aloneira91]

And the world begins to wake up :D

[virtualowner891]

GAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDAFFFFFIIIIIIE­EDDDDDDDDDDD

[DaveO15]

With all the shit that went on in the world this year, I really wouldn't rule out the supposed apocalypse next year... It's such a cinematic lead-up to the end...
