  1. Next you need to do the worst American accents by Americans...

  2. supercoolguy43 "It's undoubtedly the most well known betrayal in history." correction...It's undoubtedly the most well known betrayal story in history. (and even that's arguable if you include the tales etc. from all of the world's various cultures...) "They didn't say that he was the messiah or that he had mystical magic powers..." It doesn't matter what claims they chose to leave out if, like the Judas betrayal legend, the only source behind it is the bible...a notoriously poor source of reliable historical accounts... Also, You probably shouldn't get as cocky as you seem to be when stating that the existence of the biblical Jesus is a fact...There's very little independent contemporary evidence to support such a claim to begin with and none to support any of the various sayings and deeds attributed to him...At best, the existence of someone named Jesus who was executed and was considered by a small cult at the time to be a "messiah" is all that can really be supported by contemporary non-biblical sources...That is far from "proof" of the biblical Jesus... "No wonder nobody likes Atheists" It's better to be disliked than blatantly dishonest...edit: Though technically, your statement doesn't apply to me as I consider myself an agnostic since I don't rule out the existence of some form of "god" just those who have have had certain traits, deeds, etc. attributed to them by their followers which don't match reality...which currently happens to include all of man's various gods throughout our recorded history...but a smart ass statement just begs for an equally smart ass reply...though unlike your statement, the reply is actually true...

  3. Milo Terrabuca It is interesting...Many of those who attacked the Dixie Chicks for expressing their dislike of President Bush (the lesser) now cheer and clap like trained seals (the aquatic mammals not the soldiers) anytime someone disses President Obama...I guess it can be chalked up to country fans historically leaning towards the conservative side while remaining just as susceptible to hypocrisy as the rest of us...

  4. +Brad Smalls Bah...They're good comic relief...Pretty much everybody knows they're just as full of shit as all the other outlets...they just have a different smell...Besides...why break the hearts of sad little Putin worshipers now when it will be so much more entertaining to watch them crumble when he finally takes the money he's embezzled and runs leaving Russia in even more of a mess than his inept leadership and corruption have already got them in?

  5. Actually, I don't watch TV...FOX NEWS being one of the reasons why I quit...I simply look at what Putin has been doing since he gained power and the only possible conclusions I can come up with are that he's either a complete fucking idiot (possible but not likely since he was high ranking KGB at one time) or he's in league with Russian organized crime and kiddie porn producers...(the latter being my biggest issue with him...He'll go out of his way to go after homosexuals but apparently considers opportunities to flaunt his moobs for the cameras to be more important than cracking down on kiddie porn...thus allowing his country to take the international lead in that...industry...) Corruption combined with a general lack of shits given just makes more sense...

  6. AleksandarSkywalker Roosevelt was the one who authorized the various projects involved with the making of the bombs but died (April 12, 1945) before their completion. As a result, Truman ended up being the one to authorize their use (Their drop dates being August 6th and 9th, of the same year.)

  7. waffleweave I've seen fatal attraction and I would still pick Cher in Moonstruck..."Crazy" is much easier to pull off than "normal."

  8. Whatever diploma mill you got your degree in trolling from owes you a refund...

  9. +League Of Swedish Gaming Interesting...Van Halen's signature shitty tin can guitar tone disturbs me...

  10. It's a shame that the rope-a-dope is what likely led to his Parkinson's...Excellent short term strategy..not so much for the long term...

  11. This sums it up...The EU is like the USA...only instead of states with their own governments working together under shared laws for mutual benefit...you have countries doing so with the heads of state of said countries representing them on the European Council who in turn decide the appointments of positions etc. in the EU (meaning the UK was always democratically represented)...51.9% of Great Britain were too prideful to accept being just one voice among many and not always getting their way and decided to leave...That is anti-democratic and childish...and they'll pay dearly for it...and the world will cease to care about them...

  12. Definitely...That could easily have replaced the Joy Division song on the list...

  13. Como's "Round and Round" is a bit of a stretch to include on a list of rock songs...

  14. Kaya Sawyer I'm curious. Which of his two comments are you referring to? The first one was obviously facetious and had nothing to do with his knowledge of any subject, and his second comment concerning Truman was absolutely correct...

  15. I wouldn't worry too much. Capitalism has a way of fixing itself...if allowed to. If the politicians get too involved, they'll find a way to screw it up royally. As is, other pharmaceutical companies will take advantage of the situation by putting out something similar for a lot cheaper and drive Mylan under if they refuse to lower the price.

  16. Gene Krupa? Buddy Rich? Why no love for the drummers?
    2
  17. Well...That's a little harsh...He nailed it in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure...and I'm pretty sure he wasn't going for an American accent in Dracula...though if he was...he totally missed it...

  18. i only fear phobophobia lol Keep telling yourself that kid...It'll never be true, but maybe it'll keep your mind off the shit hole your country will become if it leaves the EU.

  19. I might could support the jailing of vegans...and I'll admit...the hypocrisy is indeed strong in that particular Mormon...but the penile betrayal is simply too much...I hope the Japanese pole vaulter has beaten it appropriately for it's crimes...though I couldn't care less about the skank diver...I hope it was worth it for her...though I doubt it was...

  20. I'm sorry but Ben Stein lost any claim to even an honorable mention when he made that dishonest hatchet job of a movie "Expelled." His inability to realize that people would see right through that bs (and that abandoning intellectual integrity in favor of political / religious pandering would essentially destroy his reputation and end his career) does not speak well of his current mental capabilities...he may have once been intelligent but he apparently chose the path of ignorance somewhere along the way...Michael Bishop (the original "Beefcake the Mighty" and now the lead singer "Blothar" of the band GWAR) would be far more deserving of such mention with his doctorate in music and teaching position at the University of Virginia...

  22. +Jacari Wilson What's weird is that of all the Floyd songs, that would have been at or near the bottom of my list of those that would even remotely work as a disco tune...and it actually...kinda worked...I don't like it, but had I never heard the original, I might have thought it was half way decent...as far as disco goes...

  23. I think BattlBlock Theater deserved an honorable mention...
    1
  24. Final Fantasy IX definitely suffered due to deadlines (but since 14 was included here, I guess that would explain it's absence...) Also, the original Dark Souls could have been on the list...Deadlines are the reason it seems to sputter out a bit towards the end...They ran out of time and had to just throw some of the later areas (as well as some of the boss fights) together to get it out on time...
    1
  25. The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" deserved an honorable mention as one of the earliest rock concept albums (and a great album in general) and it's being one of the major influences behind The Beatles Sgt Peeper...

  26. I don't know about Jigsaw...There have been a few of his traps that were simply unsurvivable or had their survivability tied to luck regardless of what the victim did...Considering the premise is that he is a genius at designing situations tailored for each victim to survive if they make what he considers the right decision, I'd have to say that his intelligence is somewhat questionable...
    1
  27. I'm surprised that permanent character death in games where resurrection spells and items exist didn't make the list...
    1
  28. Kung Pow should have at least been 3rd or at worst 4th...Personally I would have Kung Fu Hustle in 1st, Kung Pow and Kung Fu Panda tied for 2nd followed by Drunken Master and the blacksploitation films with the rest of Chan's stuff filling up the remaining spots at the bottom as they're fun to watch due to the action but aren't really memorable in any way...

  29. For anyone who was an adult or close to it during that generation, PS1 all the way...N64 games were targeted more towards children and their controllers felt like cheap toys compared to those of the PS1...Beyond the SNES era mario games got old after awhile...the Zelda games remained good but not worth buying a console for them alone...and N64's saving grace Goldeneye was fun if you were drunk or stoned but a bit overrated otherwise...and the crappy controllers made it far less enjoyable than it could have been...and besides...PS1 had the best game of that era...Vagrant Story...

  30. +Thomas Thaxton Gene Krupa as well. He was one of the main reasons drummers emerged from the shadows and into the spotlight. His skill combined with his showmanship paved the way for Buddy and others who followed.

  31. MrPypap Bah...You'll need to kill a few kittens while you're at it...Coke fueled orgies haven't really been that scandalous since the late 70s...unless you're running for President or some other thankless public office that is...

  32. No, which makes modern feminists that much worse as they devote far more time and effort to first world (and usually nonexistent) problems while only giving occasional lip service to the plight of those who are actually being oppressed...

  33. I have no problem with hunting "trophy" game if it also happens to be either a true prey animal or at least edible and the person hunting them does in fact take the meat with them after the kill and either eats it themselves or donates it to a local hunger drive etc. Hunting predators solely for sport and just throwing their carcass to the side after taking the head and pelt is just sick. There are situations where hunting such animals is necessary (overpopulation of a certain predator or the introduction of a non native species that throws off the local ecosystem or when a predator population directly threatens people or livestock for example) but to do so just for kicks...there are far more appropriate and socially acceptable ways for someone with tiny dick syndrome to self medicate...(though I only think it should actually be illegal if the species is endangered or hunters are luring them away from national parks or other protected areas or similar situations. For the rest, public and social disdain will eventually make it more trouble than it's worth for most "pure" trophy hunters...)

  34. It's only ~$70 million away from it's budget currently in US gross alone (going by IMDB)...Throw in the eventual international gross (which accounted for more than half the gross of the original) and it will more than make it's money back...It tends to help if one does a little research before one comments on such things...
    1
  35. +Kenneth Wong I agree...though I don't really understand why Apple opted for such a hard "no" when they could have at least looked into potential compromises which might be able to satisfy both sides...They could, for example, offer to do it "in house" and pass the data retrieved but not the method of retrieval on to the FBI (similar has been done in the past to protect proprietary information etc. in such situations) When it comes to compromises, there's never a guarantee but considering that the data on the phone is legitimate evidence, it would be nice if one or both of the sides put a bit more effort into exploring alternatives before settling for a pissing match...

  36. I did some seasonal work doing prep in the kitchen of a 5 star resort after college and all but one of the chefs there were at least as bad as Ramsay when it came to attitude (the head chef may have been a bit worse...) Is douchebaggery part of the curriculum at culinary institutes?
    1
  37. No...He's no hero...By his own admission (in an early interview), he took a job concerning national security  under false pretenses simply for the opportunity to snoop through classified material with little to no interest in the actual duties of that job...People's view of him would have been very different had say...his lackluster performance of his duties been a contributing factor in a terrorist attack not being prevented or had he simply been caught snooping through classified records for his own amusement / gain...He's a criminal who got lucky and stumbled upon something bigger than his own crime...nothing more...and for me personally, his decision to release information concerning our espionage efforts abroad was borderline (if not already past the line) treason...Every country in the world spies on everybody else (especially their "friends") to whatever extent their economic / political position will allow...Keeping such activities and the information they gather secret is in the best interest of a country's populace...

  38. Dude may have been wrong about dictatorships winning wars but there are currently no true democratic governments in existence (at best all we have now are republics which are different)...so...technically he wasn't wrong about them not surviving past the 1950's...

  39. 8:08 Approximately two hours to be precise. Something's not quite right with that sentence... edit: and how was Star Wars Battlefront not at least an honorable mention?...A strong argument could be made for it being number 1...Granted it's an MMO (so I guess it technically has unlimited gameplay in that regard...at least until they shut the servers down in the future), but it's single player is a complete joke...to the point that it would have been better had they simply not bothered to include it...
    1
  40. I'm not sure what to think about that DiCaprio scene...had I been the one he smeared blood on, I would probably have applauded his ability to improv so well through an injury like that...and then immediately knocked the shit out him for smearing blood on me...

  41. The Kasparov incident was clearly someone taking that ancient spam e-mail entitled "Smack people with your huge [phallus]" a bit too seriously...leading, ironically, to their huge [phallus] getting smacked by people instead...
    1
  42. "Come Together" is probably one of McCartney's least impressive baselines among anything from Rubber Soul on...(don't get me wrong, it's great and perfect for the song...but it was a bit bland compared to much of his other work...) Personally I would have gone with his work on "Rain" or (if being well known is part of the criteria) perhaps even "Paperback Writer" as they had the perfect blend of creativity and skill, completely locked down the groove, and were the driving force of both songs without being the focal point instrumentally of either...
    1
  43. The fire hose jump from Diehard is...doable (probably the most believable thing on the list)...at worst it should have been at 9 or 10...

  44. "What do you get when you cross a bungie cord with an owl?"
    1
  45. Russell Brown If someone doesn't convince him to quit talking when it comes to his farce of a presidential campaign you'll probably get to find out...A lot of his current income comes from licensing out the use of his name and recently he's been doing a pretty good job of making said use a liability rather than a benefit...
    1
  46. ***** His head might not explode but I'm starting to think he might be dying and that a presidential campaign was just something on his bucket list...A lot of his money comes from licensing his name and his campaign has done a good bit of damage to that name costing him a lot of business and sponsors...That just doesn't seem like something he'd do were he planning to have to face the fallout from it at some point...
    1
  47. Mark Hamill as the Joker in either of the Batman Arkham games...
    1
  48. Not surprising at all concerning Led Zeppelin...A sizable chunk of their recorded material consisted of either covers or outright uncredited theft (usually, but not always, of old blues tunes...) Not to knock them, they were a great band...just with questionable musical integrity...
    1
  49. "A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile..." from the beginning of Don McLean's "American Pie" deserves at least an honorable mention.
    1
  50. I remember watching that Beavis and Butthead episode when it aired...I never knew it got banned...That's actually pretty lame...
    1
  51. Well...to be fair (sort of) Bill Frist was (is?) a doctor as well as a politician...Not that that makes much of a difference but he is someone with medical knowledge and experience on their board...
    1
  52. I guess they're not very well known, but Old School Freight Train's acoustic cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" is excellent...
    1
  53. Not entirely accurate concerning Pete Rose...He was a player/manager for awhile and there's evidence that he was gambling on baseball while still actually playing...and really, it was his lying about it despite the evidence that sealed his fate...the gambling alone may have eventually been forgiven...
    1
  54. +SOD IT w We're far from perfect but if you compare us to other countries with equal or greater population, we'd be pretty low on a most corrupt list and pretty high up on any standard of living / safety list...Democracies / Republics become more difficult to manage efficiently the larger they get and all things considered we do quite well for our size...
    1
  55. Groundhogs can be pretty aggressive...My parent's property is somewhat of an unofficial animal preserve with raccoons, feral (but fixed) cats, a groundhog and a bunch of other random critters and the only thing that's ever come after me and refused to back off is the groundhog...The raccoons will let you pet them or just move away if they're in a bad mood and the cats are...well...feral so they simply run away but the groundhog will come after you...randomly...and even occasionally go after someone pushing a lawnmower...

  56. My understanding was that the Bena Tshadi team were using metal cleats while the other team wasn't thus they took the brunt of the electricity and died.

  57. Flatliners and/or Altered States might have deserved at least an honorable mention...
    1
  58. Not even an honorable mention for Bullet Tooth Tony's Desert Eagle .50 (Snatch) ?

  59. I love your channel but you really need to lay off the science...or hire some actual advisors to proofread your scripts...You do a disservice when you try to spin scientific data for entertainment purposes...
    1
  60. Not that many have ever heard it but Screeching Weasel's "Life Sucks (and so do you)" would make a perfectly inappropriate send off...

  61. There's nothing wrong with cat shit coffee...other than the cat shit part that is...
    1
  62. How could anyone not know that "Relax" was about sex? "Relax, don't do it, when you want to come..."
    1
  63. Kingdoms of Amalur at least deserved an honorable mention...R.A. Salvatore and Todd McFarlane as designers, good reviews, and a MMORPG based in the same world in the works (for which Salvatore had reportedly already worked up lore going back 10,000+ years...) and what happens?...death by poor money management...(with a touch of political bs thrown in for good measure...)
    1
  64. Song of the South is not banned in the US...Disney has simply decided not to release it (in it's entirety) on video here...While it doesn't do a great job of portraying post civil war race relations in the south (which it wasn't intended to do,) it did an excellent job of telling the folk tales it was based on (there's a reason it won the awards it did)...It's not hard to find a copy of it (It's been released for video pretty much everywhere but the US) and had they actually watched it rather than just reading the wiki, they would have realized that the other Disney examples they mentioned (minus perhaps the Siamese cats) are actually worse (the obviously racist portrayal of the Dumbo crows for instance was completely unnecessary to the story serving no purpose other than to offend...)
    1
  65. ***** Well, personally I can forgive such things (if a person is honestly remorseful and ceases such behavior once called out on it) if that's all she did...The plans for a "Plantation style" party complete with intentionally all black servants dressed for the role pretty much put her over the edge in my book...
    1
  66. History has shown us that people will throw money at some pretty ridiculous things as long as said things are well marketed...The sequels in question were indeed horrible movies...their saturation bombing method of marketing however, assured them great profit nonetheless...
    1
  67. It's an understandable oversight...For the sake of mental health, it's generally best to pretend that any Shyamalan films beyond his first two simply don't exist...Personally though, I'm surprised the Pacific Rim didn't make the list...It is definitely one of the worst films ever made...though I guess, thanks to it's ridiculous marketing blitz, it didn't technically bomb...
    1
  68. If it weren't for my having won $5 from a bet with my mom when Geraldo found nothing in Capone's vault, I would have completely have forgotten about that...
    1
  69. To put it into better perspective, there's enough already above ground to fill 3 Olympic swimming pools / enough for everyone on the planet to have ~5 solid gold rings...and China alone pulls out a decent (but intentionally limited) amount daily...Much like diamonds, there's an intentional effort made to spread false estimates of availability and to limit how much actually gets released to the market at any given time in order to price fix...It also helps to remember that, other than some uses in electronics and medical equipment etc.(for which there are viable cheaper / easier to produce alternatives) it's essentially one of the world's most expensive paperweights...and, for the most part, not really intrinsically worth the effort required to pull it out of the ground and process it...The only reason anyone still bothers is due to it's artificially inflated market value...Once investors finally realize it's really not worth it (and that the people going around advising everyone to buy it are the same people who are making themselves richer by selling it), those prices will collapse (along with the economies of any countries whose economies and/or currency are heavily reliant upon it...Russia for instance will be screwed...even more so than they already are...)

  70. Maker series' would be nice... and a heck of a lot easier than rom hacking the older games...

  71. That rifle Crowe was wielding while cuffed  sure looked a bit odd...If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that was a double barrel shotgun...
    1
  72. The accuracy was mostly confined to the represention of the time period and certain personal relationships. The political aspects were...somewhat biased and should be taken with a grain of salt.
    1
  73. You're going to be hard pressed to find enough people willing to include an IRA supporter on a list like this (especially in modern times)...Regardless of whether or not that person was actually involved in any terrorist act or if they died from hunger striking over prisoner's rights...
    1
  74. Mussilini at 7...really? He was a complete joke...I really don't see how someone who's only real claim to fame was being Hitler's "fluffer" deserves a higher rank than Mao...Even Franco beats him since his iron grip kept him from being strung up as a pinata by his own people...
