I thought I had found new respect for Fallon since he didnt join the "Orange Man Bad" parade at first. But it seems that he jumped on the bandwagon. Shame on Fallon. Shame on all of the Late nigh hosts. Shame on the ppl of America too for having so much hatred that prevents us coming together as a country and doing the best we can. Roseanne had the right idea. Kimmel on the other hand, who doesnt know shit about politics simply retorts with a generic "orange man bad durrr" statement.

@Flight Train11 they are both Jimmys, but the Fallon variety is fairly tame. Unless you're particularly partisan it shouldn't bother you

@Biggy Iron Bruh it gets old to the point where it’s not even funny look at jimmy kimmel

@Flight Train11 that's pretty sensitive honestly. He makes maybe one Trump joke and two political jokes each episode

Yeah I used to be fine with Fallon now I can’t even watch him

@Hail Ghidorah almost everyone who is on the American right of politics shits on him

@Biggy Iron Exactly. Obama, no matter what anyone says, was always just a likable, charismatic, respectable person. So, there is a reason why no one really shits on him.

@Andrew Carnborn And Twitter does it a lot better, in my opinion. <br>Some of them are actually really witty.

@Andrew Carnborn And Twitter does it a lot better, in my opinion.
Some of them are actually really witty.

@The King I have a feeling you're bothered more when It's Trump being insulted but ok.

The entertainment industry has recognized that negativity brings in the most viewers. They've also recognized that telling people what they want to hear is more popular than an honest conversation. That especially goes for Fox and many conservatives on YouTube

@Biggy Iron I did not noticed you said Fox, I thought we are talking about late night host, this is my lost.

Ps. I know you were not talking about me, but I don't get trigger by Fox shitting on Obama or every other mainstream media shitting on Trump because I already know what I am getting into by watching them.

And I'm not really "triggered" by entertainment like sports, night shows etc shitting on Trump, it just gets very tiresome how often and one-sided it is, I just want to watch freaking sports and comedy, but they have already achieved their goal by now, so hopefully entertainment will go back to being entertainment from now on.

@The King Don't let me ruin Mitt Romney for ya but he said in one of the 2012 debates that he agrees with most of Obama's leadership, but he had a problem with how he implemented changes and his middle eastern dealings. So unless Romney was secretly a big scary commie, Obama really wasn't what he was called

@The King And here's a compilation of Fox lying and being the usual insulting.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly8wfEBAz60&t=29s

@The King why are commenting on this thread 2 weeks later? Not everyone gets notified of new comments

@The King Do you want " means. They are called quotation marks and they let the reader know that the word(s) was/were spoken

@Biggy Iron so... Where is the Obama insults you talked about? When are you going to back up what you say?

I've never heard anyone unironically say "orange man bad".

The fact there is so much to criticize Trump for doesn't mean all criticisms are invalid

There should only be unity behind sound presidencies. Trump's is the opposite

@The King Jimmy Fallon doesn't insult Trump. Unless you're referring to what Trump is insulted by

@Biggy Iron <br>So where are the Obama insults?

@Biggy Iron
So where are the Obama insults?

@Definitive Dubs A couple Trump jokes every episode isn't the bandwagon. Let's get real, the leader of the country is going to be addressed a lot

This video was made over two years ago. Fallon has since joined the anti-Trump bandwagon.

@Elway Dogg they aren't ruining anyone's life. They are just making unfunny jokes about the president and you're having a hissy fit for some reason. Look away if you're a triggered snowflake

I thought this was about bullying not about the parties. That just shows just how partisan you are being. I wonder if you'd flip out after seeing Fox "bully" Obama. Do you think calling Obama a "Muslim terrorist" or "Dempanzee" is something to be proud of?

@Elway Dogg your emotional rant did not provide a single reason why that is "bullying". I'm assuming you know nothing about public figures but they are people who put themselves in front of millions of people, and in this case control their lives. Trump is getting criticized. If he were a kid on the playground then he would be bullied.

@Elway Dogg are you serious? "Bullying" come on now the most powerful man in the world can't be bullied. Fallon makes <b>jokes</b> about an orange man who is a walking joke. People do not have to look far to find joke material in his presidency.

He also starts trends. Like for example the "stay at home edition" this year

Fallon always reminded me of early seth McFarlane. They both might have corny or just sometimes not as funny jokes as their competition but you can tell they put their heart into their work and it has a charm to it which you can respect them for and even get a good chuckle out of

Too bad he does Trump bashing jokes now lmao

Too bad he does Trump bashing jokes now lmao

And to think they all came down sharking on Fallon when he had Trump on the show and he avoided  mocking him during a conversation!

i think as a comedian you also have to have a fake laugh to an extent to improve charisma

It’s a better strategy for the long term as well. He wants you to watch for his comedy which won’t fall the to wayside as a trend.

Fallon also “used” to do a bunch of coke through his snl years. I’m sure that doesn’t hurt.

@Andrew Carnborn trump has a case of "J.K-itius," he throws up onto social media so much that everyone can make fun of him.

Edit: had to has

Truly
Yes Trump is stupid, but I don't wanna see a show entirely dedicated to "Orange Man bad"
Hell, Twitter does that anyways


The problem is that micro aggressions and representation in media are actual problems in society but not being nuanced about it and not addressing how some people may say there are bigger problems, and that there are, and also talking about those, but saying: “we can talk and care about many things” like many leftist and philosophical youtubers do, that is actually forward movement with our thought and ideas in society, but when you have no nuance yeah I do think it comes off as ridiculous and divisive to a lot of people and it kind of is when you’re not addressing how the patriarchy and white supremacy uphold capitalism because you don’t wanna upset your corporate sponsors.


I'm convinced that  if you're a boring, semi middle aged white guy named Jimmy, they give you a talk show, regardless of qualifications


Vid ages like wine, emp. How bout a revisit?


Bandwagoning, bashing people who disagree with you, and oversimplification is what the radical left does.
We already know what the radical right does (though media always bashes them, at this point people use "far right" and "spawn of satan" interchangeably).
I am slightly more left leaning, but a lack of discussion is so hurtful for politics. People don't think anymore, it's just always "my idea is good, therefore yours is bad. Every little disagreement with my idea means that you are evil." You have the far left advocating for "equality', while the far right advocates for "freedom."
I'm not saying "let's all just get along," I'm just saying "let's not let ourselves get trapped in echo chambers and confirmation bias."

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion and am happy to receive criticism. All for the better. Please directly engage with what I said, though. If you want to bash me, show me why I am wrong, please. I want to be shown. I want to hear what you people think. I'm just very sad that everybody seems to have already decided on a fixed side. There is a SPECTRUM. Just because I lean left a bit, doesn't mean I think every policy the liberals implement is good. In fact, I agree with conservatives more than liberals sometimes. Everybody seems to be stuck in a "my side is the best" mania that has made all sane people scared to say anything in fear of getting cancelled.

Anyways, I think extremism is irrational, but that doesn't mean we should discount the people's opinions. There is a fundamental idea that may be valid, and is the reason they support something. Discussion is what is needed, civilized discussion. Could we please have debates instead of yelling matches? Debates where you actually consider the other side and try to prove them wrong instead of repeatedly and forcefully restating your own ideas?

Now I'll sit back and wait for replies, if anyone ever sees this.


That Rosanne Barr clip was insane. Its basically:

"Here is the hard cold truth that everyone can agree for us to cooperate in these conflicting times. Take it."

"No, fuck you, lol"

wow

“No tuck you lol, also orange man in Oval Office bad!!!!! Comedy”

@Cole Bouchard ty for the context, that cut really didn't sit well with me lol

You guys know that emplemon put a cut between her saying “get out and vote, change it if you don’t like it” and kimmel saying “you’re expressing your opinions as crazy as they may be”, right? Meaning that he deliberately edited away the context of Kimmels comment to make him look bad. Emplemon Manipulated quite a few people based on how many comments there are about the Roseanne clip.

In the actual interview kimmels response to her saying “get out and vote, change it if you don’t like it” was “that’s very good. I mean you can’t argue with that”

So the last thing emplemon shows in this video is that he’s willing to be a lying manipulative hack and shines a spotlight on a lot of suckers in his viewing audience.

@zmg5105 Meaning he is perfect for Hollywood

True he is literally not a functioning member of society with the way he handled that

@Cdog Thehedgehog Jimmy Kimmel is the joke

It was actually shocking. Like, idk how anyone in America could disagree with what she said. It's the whole point of our democracy. If you don't like this result, there is always the next time, so meanwhile we should all try to make it work together the best we can.<br>Where is the joke???

"Go out and vote so we can put decent people in power for once"

"LOL get a load of this absolute maniac"


The only late night hosts I like are John Oliver when he does deep dive into neutral topics like internet in USA etc.
Regarding gun violence - there are 0 gun deaths before 1364.
Banning them will solve most of the issue.
Things worth doing are worth doing poorly.


8:20 "bitter and delusional liberals complained"

🤔 Yeah, yeah. True. We did complain an awful lot about it. But we didn't arm ourselves and literally attempt to overthrow democracy itself on January 6th.

Both sides are not the same, here. 😐

This video aged terribly. But I can agree with the sentiment of tribalism and hatred growing between two political parties that tears a nation apart.

I say that the two party system should be dismantled but there is no way a group of people will disperse power like that. We live in a country separated by two bureaucracies.


7:55 oh ye I used to enjoy the Colbert Report but when he started talking straight on the Late Show I yeeted out of there. Satire is great in small doses and I had an unhealthy fanaticism for the Colbert Report.


Well, I wasn't sure how to feel about EmpLemon, but now I'm subscribing after seeing this gem.


Amazing how a person who made silly youtube poops for laughs is now one of the most reasonable and intelligent voices on this platform. Unfortunately the average youtube user doesn't care for 30 minutes of well-edited content

>I guess memes are intelligent discussion.

I guess memes are the key to evolving into intelligent discussion.


I really really really hope Jimmy Kimmel sees this and it hurts his feelings.


OH DEAR GOD. I'm 20 mins in and didn't realize until now Jimmy Fallon and this guy are different people. I've only ever seen ads for Kimmel and thought it was Fallon. Never even watched Kimmel.


That Suburban crashing into a highway guard rail looks very familiar. I think I remember reading that article when I was younger in the early 2010s


7:05 that trump fever dream is pretty funny


Oh my god... This video is absolutely amazing. It sums up everything I hate about how our society behaves. I've had trouble myself exactly identifying what I loath so much about society, and this is just perfect. I truly respect you as a Content Creator AND as a human being. This is just so well crafted.


I never thought I would agree with something rosanne says


2:51 i didn’t even recognize he had just made a joke until the audience laughed. What is funny about the “joke” he just said some words


thought this went into overdrive in 2021 but damn the clues were all there in 2018.


It's funny because we have the exact same thing in France with a French Entertainer named Cyril Hanouna


I have to say I respect Jimmy Fallon more after he refused to immediately jump onto the Trump bashing train.

I already respected him by putting my boys BROCKHAMPTON on tv, how I have an actual reason to like him.

Dustofsaturn I really don't find jimmy fallon funny at all.

But after that i gained a TON of respect for him.

And his Jim Morrison impression is FUCKING SPOT-ON! Singing reading Rainbow's theme as jim morrison deserves a fucking grammy.


Why are left-wing comics so obsessed with politics ? Trevor Noah, Kimmel, Oliver, SNL, even Chapelle when it comes to racism and anti-trump stuff.


This guy is literally bringing Hollywood on a limo ride to deaths house


Not going to lie, EmpLemon is lowkey better at redpilling people than most conservative commentators.

@Outlaw Donut ye same here, market socialism as a transition stage lol.

@Outlaw Donut ye same here, market socialism as a transition stage lol.

@Luke Kiefer Anarchism is the end goal. Market socialism is what I'm fighting for.

Edit: I'm currently fighting for change that can be reasonably executed within the confines of the American system. Once that is implemented, that's when real, revolutionary change happens. I am an anarchist, but I would much rather have a peaceful revolution than a violent one.

@Outlaw Donut Lol, an anarchist who wants the government to do everything. Anarchy is the extreme of libertarianism. Obviously you don’t even know what anarchism is.

I just wanna add my hat into this. I am also a leftist, and many people in this country seem to have a misconception what the left really is. When people hear the word "leftist", what come into there mind is actully the mainstream media's portrayal of the left, "liberals". Liberals arent leftists. There different. Social justice warriors, anti-white, annoying dumb fucks who cant talk, the mainstream media, your average Democrat, these people are all liberals and not leftists. The media has planted a fake misconception of what the left really is. From personal experience, I used to be reactionary in thought, and I believed that all leftists are annyoing dumb sjws who call everything racist. However, once I talked to real leftists, and watch real leftist shows (not liberal). My mind finally opened up. Most leftists I have talked to are chill people, and are willing to have conversations, (they dont just call you racist and sexist) As this comment thread showed, we have been portrayed poorly. It really makes me sad to see that these liberal late night talk show hosts are causing people to turn away from the left. Real leftists are more focused on policy, Medicare for all, UBI, workplace democracy, freeing non violent drug offenders, legalizing weed etc. These are the real main leftist goals. A good show I recommend is secular talk, which will give you a dose on how a real leftist thinks and acts. Real leftists hate Democrats and the main stream media, they are elitists who dont pander to any progressive policy, all they do is whine about how trump is racist. The furthur left you go, the less people say: Trump bad.

I actually just rewatched this and holy shit I just realized his views are so open on this video. I mean I dont care about it and it doesnt matter because I'm still gonna watch him. But wow he really went all out here. Still though as a leftist I was a bit annoyed with some of the talk.

As good as Ben or Crowder, but not better

Yes but he isn't a republican. So far all I heard was extreme moderate. And I think that's what America needs the most right now. That's what the world needs. Unification and return to the center. All we have is extremes now. Can't get anything done if your constantly at war with the opposing party.

@Nathan Grant Yeah, I get that. Sorry. I was kinda angry and saw these guys and just got carried away in internet rant mode.

@Nathan Grant Yeah, I get that. Sorry. I was kinda angry and saw these guys and just got carried away in internet rant mode.

Outlaw Donut, easy kid. When I was in my early 20s I was very much a radical liberal Democrat and in favor of a similar anarchism as to what you described. All that educating of yourself you’ve been doing, I’ve been doing for 20 plus years, I’ve always been very much an outsider who studies from a distance and there’s nothing historically you could go over or viewpoints you could come up with I haven’t entertained or read about. I’m still very much liberal, my statement had to do with being a fervent democrat/republican. Some might say I’m center left, but truth is truth, and I go with that, not political parties who’s interests are always their own power. The political system of the US is what it is, it’s not going to change other than the natural forces that are bigger than any of us. Almost every major narrative that’s a big national story is usually inaccurate to the truth of the event. Humans are deeply flawed and that extends from your personal network, to the general population, to the leadership. I’d love to see all the corporate fat cats and leaders of this country ripped out of power but the second you replaced them with any sort of leadership they’d immediately start to muck it up. That doesn’t mean we aren’t slowly heading toward a better world, mass communication has seen to that, but in the entire history of the world leadership has abused its position to one degree or another. Eventually there may be an infrastructure in place that allows us to finally live without human leadership. In the meantime, my only message no matter if you’re liberal or conservative is let the truth be your guide and don’t get caught up in parties. Btw Qanon is a cult.

@uwirl  Geez man, that's some bad praxis. I mean, not sure about your theory, but geez, that was some really bad praxis. You can't just call someone a moronic, idiotic incel and expect to win them over. Be kinder to them, even if you personally don't want to. Show them that our side is more rational. That's how we'll get change accomplished and finally see the real progressive ideals that the working class needs.

To be clear, I am not against you. I just want to spread class consciousness, and creating divisions within the general, centrist, and apolitical public isn't doing us any favors.

We gotta think strategy. We gotta be smart about this. Don't alienate, explain and show why our ideas will create better outcomes for the betterment of humanity. If they're not convinced, then at least we tried. But even if they're not directly, someone indirectly will catch on to it.

Be kind. Be better. Do better.

@Outlaw Donut Centrist, specially in the US, equals conservative. Aka, the only place he would be socially accepted in Europe would be a neonazi group.

@Nathan Grant Ah yes, because believing in equality is the same as being in a literal cult. I could say that QAnon conservatives are essentially a giant conspiracist cult but that still doesn't prove your point. Educate yourself. Don't make bad takes that you'll cringe at in the future.

If you’re young and you have decided to identify as a Republican or a Democrat you might as well be announcing that you’ve joined a cult.

@Gabe Davis Nah, he's pretty centrist but he isn't afraid to be critical of Hollywood elites like Kimmel. Even I'm critical of him. I don't even know how he still has a platform considering how he performed blackface on national TV.

@BananaPhoPhilly Aw thanks man. If you're not trolling, I really appreciate it.

Personally I'd love to be a content creator, but I have several reasons why I am not one and why I probably won't be for a while, if not ever. I think it mostly stems from insecurity about my age. I feel as if most people will brush off my views as very misinformed or ignorant solely due to my age. I'm relatively young and I feel as if it would be a bad rep for Breadtube, since some people would see it as YouTube "brainwashing" younger people to perpetuate their "dangerous liberal" ideas, whatever that means. Secondly, it's a very risky move to spend time on YouTube at my current age. I'm investing most of my time into passion projects and school, most notably focusing on agricultural courses and careers, as well as computer engineering and Astronomy. I'd love to work in agriculture-based work fields and would probably love to start my own worker-owned cooperative one day. YouTube is just currently too volatile a platform to make a living off of, and I feel that I would not be able to handle the stress if I even had the slimmest chance of being a successful content creator. And I think the last point is that I don't think that I would have anything new to bring to the table. Many notable BreadTubers like Contrapoints, Three Arrows, Vaush, Xanderhal, Philosophy Tube, Polidice, NonCompete, and much much more essentially do what I do, but I think much better in a more concise way. I just feel that if I were to be successful, I wouldn't have anything interesting to add to Breadtube, and would rather leave the spotlight for someone else who probably does have better things to say, in a sense.

@Outlaw Donut Why don't you make videos on these topics instead of huge walls of texts in youtube comments? You'd probably get a lot of viewers

o_Õ Shy Guy do you believe in 3rd terms abortions

@Aiden It's no more an infringement than any other law against incitement or threats. If you think that 'hate speech' simply means 'hateful speech' then you don't know what hate speech laws are. All they do is ensure that people can't circumvent laws against inciting or threatening violence by being slightly less than completely overt about it.

@Nathan Levesque hate speech laws is an infringement on freedom of speech. Who is regulating what is hateful? Theoretically it's not a bad idea ,but when put into action it can prove deadly. Plus stopping people from saying certain words doesn't end racism, bigotry , xenophobia. It just doesn't

Joe Biden isn't a leftist lol

I’m a leftist too and the only anti trump guy I can watch is Bill Maher. He rips into both sides equally and he represents the kind of leftist I am. Don’t want to be lumped into those SJW, 1 million genders group.

@Aiden Yeah, I agree. Most progressives I know denounce those who hate on white people, because hating a huge majority of the population isn't progressive; it's regressive. Yeah, in the United States, those of lighter skin tend to have a higher quality of life than most minorities (note I say most, not all), but that doesn't mean race is the problem. Rather, it is the issue of historical oppression that whites today have nothing to do with. It's a shame that your significant other has had to experience that part of politics, because I know firsthand that it is very toxic and not good for public discourse. I hope all is well, and I'm glad that you're making an effort to educate yourself, no matter where you land in the political spectrum.

I would also just like to add that I know that not everyone is anti-white, but they are the loudest voice at times. So I guess it's become very difficult to not be afraid. My boyfriend is apolitical, he hasn't been exposed to any of this until recent and he always asks me what's wrong with being white. There were people on Twitter getting mad at some people for making their characters black in animal crossing. It's really stupid. But it really changed how people view the movement. So I guess it's been very hard to find reason in the progressive movement recently.

@Outlaw Donut thanks for taking the time to answer, and although we may disagree, I'm glad there are still rational people on the opposing side. I personally am very afraid of these people, espicially those consumed by race. I'm not white, but my boyfriend is (yes I'm gay). I believe the way many progressives push for the whole anti-white thing is damaging their movement more than it helps and it scares alot of white people. I'm also not really in favor of the LGBT movement as it currently stands, they've become more of glorified fetish orgy, I just don't feel represented by them. I say I'm from the opposing side because the events that have taken place over the past 3 years has pushed me and many others further away from the recent spike in progressive ideals. I agree that both sides will always have hyper radicals. And I'm sure antifa have people who have good intentions, but I guess calling anyone a fascist is kinda counter productive. I was called on not to long ago for agreeing with stances people deem "fascist".

I'm in many so called "right wing" groups, and conservative groups, but I've never felt like an outcast and they treat me well, so I guess it really changed my opinion since the media really likes to target alot of these groups. In the end, I believe both sides have something to bring to the table, that's why I always push for balance in politics. So I always come in open minded. Thanks for taking the time to answer, I always ask people with different opinions and the same opinions as I do on why they believe the way they do. Thanks again.

Come with me conservatives, I shall finish your training.

Come with me conservatives, I shall finish your training.

@t e o h  Thanks for the reply! I'd like to get started on this one because this will be hefty.

Firstly, I'd like to touch on white privilege.

There are a lot of misconceptions about white privilege. I am not in favor of violence against those of white skin, or any skin for that matter. That is simply a hate crime. What me and a lot of leftists are promoting is the idea that institutional barriers exist that are not visible to most observers, but most people of color experience, knowingly or not. There is no law that states that people of color are inferior and should be treated as such. Rather, there are very minute advantages that whites have over colored people, and compounded, this begins to build up, which systemically makes life for those of color, in general, to be much more difficult. Over policing in black neighborhoods tend to lead to more crime being found, drugs being planted to meet arrest quotas, and more. This leads to a loss of fathers especially in black communities. This can lead to youth issues, such as a single-parent household that can barely make ends meet, which actively hurts a child and their future mental and financial stability, making them stay poor. This poverty is in near direct correlation with the rise of violence, which is born out of the poverty which is perpetuated in these neighborhoods. The violence leads to more crime, which leads to more over policing, and the cycle starts over. This vicious cycle is what has held back minority communities for so long. It is sometimes prevalent in white neighborhoods, I will not deny that, but they are much more common in minority neighborhoods and cities. Not to mention the prison-industrial complex, and the treatment of inmates in this country, whose prisons focus on punishment and not rehabilitation. This leads to a higher rate of recidivism, which then further perpetuates the prison-industrial complex, which is incentivized to imprison as many people as possible. This is an issue that almost exclusively destroys communities of non-white citizens. It is, however, a problem that does affect all of us.

Secondly, hate speech laws

This is a very scary line for me. On one hand, I am very much in favor of free speech. I believe it is one of our most powerful abilities as human beings; to speak and trade ideas freely with no intervention, which leads to innovation and progress. However, I also recognize that in order for free speech to exist, we must suppress speech that actively harms free speech. It's sort of a paradox. True free speech is self-destructive, while some speech must be regulated in order for free speech to exist. Without regulation, one can manipulate free speech and use it for harmful agendas. They can use free speech to destroy free speech. It's a very complicated subject that I personally believe am not educated enough to take a solid take on, but if we're discussing free speech laws that ban overt harassment or hatred, I'm for it anyday now. I personally believe hateful speech is all a matter of context. For example, I genuinely don't think a white person saying the n-word is racist. If it is used to demean someone or is used in negative light, then obviously there will be issues, but it is completely about context here that matters. Calling your buddy the n-word, and them being completely fine with it, is not racist.

Thirdly, and finally, the Anti-Fascist Action movement

Being an anarchist, these people are in my political quadrant. At first, I did not approve of them. In fact, I denounced them altogether. And, even though I have not radicalized myself, so to speak, even further than when I used to believe this, I actually believe that they are not harmful.

Let me explain, because I know this might sound irrational to most people who have seen a couple dozen videos of antifa 'members' attacking people with fists or bats, which gives off a very bad impression.

I know there's a very famous quote saying that the anti-fascists are the real fascists, or the fake Winston Churchill quote of "The fascists of the future will call themselves antifascists." However, there's a very good Philosophy Tube video on Antifa philosophy that I recommend you check out, because it perfectly describes my opinion of Antifa.

But if you want a more stats-based view on Antifa, out of the 50 politically-extremist murders in the United States that occurred in 2018, the overwhelming majority were perpetrated by radical white supremacists, tolling in at 78%. Including other right wing motivated murders, that number jumps to a whopping 98%. The other two percent is from Domestic Islamist Extremism.

Which essentially means 0% were from leftist organizations.

And if you don't want to look at a single year and take a leap of faith with that and assume all is good with the left, a report by the ADL shows that the crushing majority of domestic terrorism in the United States between 2008-2017 were committed by right wing terrorist groups, with a very small minority composed of left wing and Islamist groups.

There are obviously outliers. Antifa, as it is not a solid organization or group, but rather a rag-tag group of anarchist individuals, can have some bad apples here and there. But painting the entire ideology as such is, I believe, intellectually dishonest and harmful to the public discourse.

I hope this answers all your questions! I appreciate the open-mindedness discussion that you are perpetuating here. I don't get that too often from those on the opposite side of the political spectrum, so it's a very appreciated breath of fresh air :D

@Outlaw Donut thank you for your input, interesting  analysation. How about the ideas that many so called radical leftists hold, such as the theory of white privilege, hate speech laws, and many more mainstream ideas that have been pushed in recent years. Are you in favor of any of those? What opinions do you hold of groups such as Antifa and the like.

@Aiden Hey there fellow stranger! I'd be glad to respond to your question.

Firstly, I would like to preface this with the history of the state of the left. In the broader span of leftism, I think it's currently in its strongest state than it has been in the past century. Around the beginning of the 20th Century, unions led by socialists were pushed and therefore granted a lot of labor rights for workers. Eventually, corporations began to push back as well, which included banning strikes and unions, and hiring police to kill protesters that wanted higher wages. Eventually we outlawed that, thankfully, but comparing the state of socialist ideals and acceptance to a century ago, people are far more open to them. Post Soviet Russia, the United States was very unwilling and shut off to leftist ideas as the Red Scare had propagandized many to be afraid of communism, which led to to the broad public opinion that leftism as a whole is equivalent to Stalin's rule of the USSR, which is completely untrue obviously. I personally am an anarchist, which essentially means I am for abolishing all unjust hierarchy, which means I am a firm believer in trade unions, worker's rights, and social and economic rights. I am a firm leftist in most areas, including some controversial topics, such as abortion rights, guaranteed medical coverage for every U.S. citizen, against partisan lobbying and gerrymandering, and in general wanting a more progressive and accepting society. However, I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. Obviously I want more firearm regulation, but I believe completely outlawing them is not the solution. I do not identify as a social justice warrior or a feminist, as that term has been hijacked by Liberals and has been poisoned by people who think they know what they're talking about, when in reality, these types of people actually tend to land in the center of the political spectrum, and are not leftists, Marxists, or anything aligning with such ideology.

So in general, leftism as an ideology among our society I believe is in a resurgence, while leftism as in policy and congressional action, as well as socially, has taken a huge hit, especially when the Trump administration took over the reigns of the oval office. In turn, this creates a stronger movement of solidarity and support as people are beginning to realize why these leftist ideas are being generally suppressed in our current federal government. People in general have become more anti-corporation and more pro-worker. Donald Trump has highlighted just how huge bigoted, hateful groups in the United States have become, I believe shown most in the Charlottesville/Unite the Right rally. In general, things have become much more polarized over the past couple of decades. And while I'm not saying that the right is all that is bad and the left is all that is good, most social conveniences and rights have been granted through the endless fighting of social and leftist movements such as the Civil Rights Movement, led by famous socialist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I recommend watching a video by Shaun, titled "The Fate of the Frog Men," in which he details how Trump manipulated a lot of white supremacists to get to where he is, and how he has abandoned them. It's a good explanation of the POTUS's rise to power, and what we can learn from it.

The left has only gotten stronger, but in return the right has also gotten stronger. Which one will come out on top is only a matter of time, as political affairs will only become more and more controversial, and people will begin to realize what is going on around them, and they will be mad. Trust me, they will be mad. Whether they go the path of radical leftism, where people believe that capitalism, the erosion of worker rights, and corporations are the main cause of a lot of societal problems, or they go the route of the radical right where the issue is LGBT people, minorities, or immigrants ruining western culture, is only up to those advocating for them, and how sound their arguments are, however rational or irrational they may be.

One thing is for sure though; big things will come in the next few years, and it will not be pretty.

@Outlaw Donut Hi i would like to know your opinion on the current state of the left. What do you agree and not agree with.

Thanks,
-From a curious person on the opposite side of the spectrum

Yeah, I agree. I'm a leftist myself, but I can confidently say that Emp is so much more cohesive, intelligent, and intellectually honest than Steven Crowder can ever be.


This video summed every opinion I have had for the longest time.


Jimmy Kimmel smiling looks like the Pot of Greed.


"unrelated footage of lemmings" is going to be my yearbook quote


I'd probably be considered a liberal and do consider myself mostly a liberal in the vein of a traditional progressive mindset; and I agree with more or less all the points set forth in this video.  This does genuinely represent some of the biggest problems with the United States.  I think a big part of it is in relation to those "liberals" and SJWs who have dropped their traditionally relatively noble ideas in favor of embracing authoritarian and borderline communist, and even racist ideals.  I hate that I have to associate with these people who want to control what I can and can't say through 'political correctness' , or whether people can hold differing opinions.  While the term 'regressive left' has been over used into Oblivion, I think it's relatively accurate term that shows that these people are going backwards while firmly believing they're going forward.  The abundance of masked antifa members behaving like those they were originally meant to counter, the talking heads and celebrities who smugly lie through their teeth,  the politicians who play the game and hold no belief beyond money and self preservation just like the way the right (be they Republican Democrat or something else)  always had.  Those who do have ideals have ravenous radical ideologies that resemble stalinism or something from a psychotic African warlord.

Damnable Dandy At this point, I believe overt SJWs are right wing agents making leftist and progressivism look bad for the sake of getting more people to lean right.

Matthew Lee I unironically want you to end it all.

Damnable Dandy  some liberals are communist others are in denial   except you you seem like the only normal one

Give this man a medal. I couldn't have said anything better if I tried.

really pladmir vutin, anywhere you look you can find extremists. conservatives have neo nazis, liberals have communists. christians have the westboro baptist church, muslims have isis. theres even extremist fucking buddhists.

my point here is that the simple fact that there are extremists on all ends and not just on the left and right shouldnt deter you from choosing a side. it's all about what you think and how you perceive the overall image of a side to be.

Its so bizarre that a hardcore meme channel has more constructive conversations than anywhere else...

I feel the same Damnable. Hammer, meet nail head.

Damn son, too many redpills in one comment. I too am sad to see these people turn to a racist, authoritarian version of "progressivism" (at this point, they aren't even progressives in the technical sense). Despite largely agreeing with liberal policies like Medicaid expansion, anti-foreign intervention, legalized weed, pro-union, freedom of speech/religion/expression, and state secularism, I have stopped identifying myself with the "liberal" label. I don't even identify with the Democratic Party anymore, most of the politicians are corrupt opportunists. When I vote, I'll vote as an Independent.

These 'SJW' types are a dangerous bunch. They are racist, authoritarian and completely indoctrinated. They are a sizeable minority, and they would disappear if the media would STOP PANDERING TO THEM. Left and Right, the media panders to their views. Everywhere you look, you see articles about "muh cultural appropriation", "muh racist cops", "muh white privilege", "muh Islam", etc.

To be fair, the media also fuels the alt-right with this same kind of rhetoric (especially when they talk about how great it will be when Whites are a minority in 30 years). Thanks to the MSM, you've got people on the left believing that we need to eliminate "cultural appropriation" and "white privilege", and censor "hate speech". We also got people on the right who think we need to create a White-only ethnostate in order to prevent minorities from destroying the lives of the White majority.

If we do not stop fueling the SJW's and the alt-right, there will most certainly be a civil war. Though that may not be a bad thing, people like you and me are in the majority, most will not submit to the alt-right or the SJW's. Maybe it is time for the tree of liberty to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots once again.

What a great read. <br>If only I'd have something to add here.

What a great read.
If only I'd have something to add here.

Glad to know I'm not alone, sometimes it feels like everyone's gone mad, in one direction or another.

Not Politically Correct or lyin Ted. In a bed, filling this thread, for pointless cred

Damnable Dandy /\ I'm in the same position

+Damnable Dandy I'm absolutely in the same boat and I think YouTuber Contrapoints summarizes this pretty well in her video "Pop Feminism," (at least in relation to, obviously, feminism and feminist circles) — most of what goes on under the heading of feminism is utter nonsense because it's such a large and diverse school of thought at this point.

Damnable Dandy
You are a hero among liberals. Come. We shall cleanse this political party with BLOODSHE- I MEAN SOAP! WE WILL USE SOAP TO CLEANSE THEM!

All jokes aside, you truly do have my respect.


genuine apology for those of us acting like some hivemind


Jimmy Kimmel is one of those people, on whichs Grave I would spit


I am a long-time NRA member and a proud supporter of the Second Amendment. Even though you do not like guns and you did not like the NRA I am glad that you can still see through the bullshit correlation of banning guns and ending gun violence. Thank you for being someone on the other side who fact checks the actual gun violence in America. Keep making awesome videos dude

>Life long NRA member >Supporting the 2nd amendment >pick one (>if you chose the latter join GOA because the NRA are spineless.)

Hopefully he responds to you, it'd be interesting to hear his thoughts laid out nicely.

As someone who is very much on the fence about the issue, a teacher with two kids in public school (so <i>very</i> concerned about school shootings), and generally pro-gun, would you mind elaborating on your viewpoint for me? I’d like to be informed about statistics and such, but I’m also quite interested to hear the empirical side of things as well — how people are able to rationalize what they believe. I understand if you don’t want to waste your time writing out some long-winded spiel about how you delivered a gun baby in an elevator and it changed your life and perspective or whatever, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask.

Watching this in 2021 makes me miss 2018


This is literally what i think!! I agree 💯


I damn near cheered multiple times at this video just because you’re a rational human. I dont know whether thats a good thing or bad thing but either way I subscribed.

I'm trying to write something funny for the comments but I actually fucking can't, Jimmy has taken away my ability to make jokes

@TheNopeTrain watch the language boy!!! dont make me get my WHIP!!!

Ive heard funnier jokes from a vegetable

Mikhail Mcmorrow more like winter storm quinoa

You sir are suffering "no jokes disorder"

TeShiky Wow! What an xD of the day!! Haha!

That profile pick shows how hard you're trying

Can I just mention that your bait on the latest video was pretty great? I just got it.

I thought you were going to stop making long YTPs but hey ho.

“Liberals are smart” that’s another funny joke,

Mikhail Mcmorrow 3k likes. You did well homie

Stix N' Stones With a name like TheNopeTrain, I assume that they are joking.

My reality is imploding from this comment.

Ha ha. Hey, did you guys hear the one about Donald Trump? They say his toupee is still silly OR DO I MEAN HIS COMBOVER GEAGEAGEAFEafeafgea hehehehhee.....fea.f.eafa

Too bad we don't have a conservative show that makes fun of liberals. Oh wait we do since the creators of South Park came out as Republicans and the best part about it is that South Park is actually funny lol

Just comment his name, that’s the best joke you can make of him

Mikhail Mcmorrow IDK man that comment was p funny.

Mikhail Mcmorrow inhale some <b>french toast</b> you'll be fuckin fine

Mikhail Mcmorrow inhale some *french toast* you'll be fuckin fine

Just talk trash about Trump, ppl will like the S out of it

Mikhail Mcmorrow It's because he stole all of your jokes.

Alex The Ordinare I'm sure tons of people will haha

TheNopeTrain Can't tell if you're serious or not.  Poe's law at work I guess.


that blend of Annie Lennox and Disturbed was pretty hype. 13:07


Crazy how this themes of this video are just becoming more and more relevant as time passes.


Adam was the real funny one out of the Duo. We clearly see that now.


I really like the Roseanne interview cause it really shows what's wrong with Kimmel. I mean I'm liberal myself but I hate how bad people like him make actual sane, rational liberals look. Although to be fair I feel like no matter where you are on the political spectrum that there's going to be some insane individuals that make people think badly of you

Gamerdude854 Exactly I’m a Democrat in an extremely democratic neighborhood, and there are some crazy democrats! The term “extreme” isn’t just used for Right wing

23:08 There's a quote of Biden praising Obama for being able to drop his "urban" accent and speak more "civilized" before he first ran for president.


Jimmy Kimmel is the most NPC of them all.

He's the one NPC with only 1 dialogue yet appears everywhere

Mike Hawk So he’s that mother bum rusher that keeps on sending assassins and Thalmor after me in Skyrim

@MrDman21 they're two sides of the same coin...both race baiters and massive collectivists

@Luke Douglass Imagine your sense of humor being an "NPC" (Not an actual word but OK), like what even is this NPC thing?

imagine repeating the a other form of sheeple

You literally just said that to get likes

He’s like Navi or Omachao, an NPC we see everywhere in our journey that relentlessly annoy us but we are powerless to avoid

and jimmy fallon is the least npc of them all. I think the guy with glasses is the most npc to be honest.

I'd say it's a tossup between him and Trevor Noah.

(Antifa members pop up)<br>“Allow us to introduce ourselves!”

(Antifa members pop up)
“Allow us to introduce ourselves!”

@DronkusDonkus He is modded model programmed by a 12yearold

Bleep blop
Kimmel: trump bad
Audience: clap
Kimmel: Trump stoopid
Audience: laugh

i nominate fallon as a close second worst.

Paul Aagam listen buddy... you not having enough of a sense of humor isn’t our problem. Maybe if a bunch of people find it funny... it’s a good joke? Just idk, consider that.

Can we get 1000 subscribers with no videos?

@Paul Aagam Theres really nothing to "get" its a single word describing specific traits that otherwise take a paragraph sum up. The humor is a side effect-for one reason or another, often the unexpected, yet revealing accuracy of it which many people will describe seeing in certain groups. Given the strange and unlikely specificity of the meme, that humor can be powerful. EDIT: its not meant to be an insult either-just an efficient descriptor of something-an evolution of language.

I'm sure youve seen people going all out for causes or things they dont know anything about (like in college)....sometimes its hard to understand, much less describe what youre seeing with people like that-then along comes this little word thats almost magical in its ability to relate the formerly unrelatable, and from the weirdest of places nonetheless.

Also its not

I have a feeling like he's the puppeteer... with more up in the ranks.

Agreed. It's not even liberals that are the problem, it's the far-left. They make neo-nazis look sane and rational.

OltskuMP and that description is utterly meaningless

@Paul Aagam He acts like an npc. It's not a serious "insult" in that way. It's sad tho.

OltskuMP no I get it, it’s just a really bad meme that I have no idea how it got any traction because it is so stupid. It’s not even stupid in a funny way, I would just advise anyone to refrain from using it because it would just make the person using it look dumb. Just trying to minimize embarrassment on the internet that’s all.

@Paul Aagam You just don't get it do you

Honestly NPC is dumbest insult I’ve ever heard.

@El Descarriado I'd think he's more like the janitor or smth who always asks other npc to bring him his mop

@John Doe So is he like a guildmaster? The one you replace when you beat the questline?

@Surtur He's a NPC^2, he gives other NPCs quests.

He is simply a high level npc. With a lot of Orange Man bad attributes.

@DronkusDonkus if the dlc had a main story he'll be in an optional mission.

He's like the NPC you can only encounter if you get the dlc


He is a person Who got his start in TV on<br>“The Man Show”. He has to tow the line otherwise he gets cancelled.

He is a person Who got his start in TV on
“The Man Show”. He has to tow the line otherwise he gets cancelled.

Its hard to argue he's "towing the line" anymore. He's part of the group of talking heads that make the line now, and they've moved that line far from the actions of Kimmels past. The only reason he isn't being held duely accountable is because no one talks about it, since he's in a position to control the flow of information.


You said a few fucked up things though, least of which was saying that “Baby Driver” was the best movie of the year


The thing about the concrete bird 😳 if that isn’t the wackiest shit I ever done saw


Just so you know, I'm not a big fan on talk shows, but there are some good ones out there that I've actually watched on YT (usually clips involving YouTubers that I've watched for a long time, or voice actors I'm a fan of, like Patton Oswalt and Patrick Warburton).

Jimmy Kimmel, however, is not one of the good talk shows.

Like you, Emp, I was bored and decided to watch one clip of the show on YouTube, just so I could see why it seemed to pop up in my homepage so much.

And now I want to punch that jerk in the face so hard that he'll talk with a lisp for the rest of his life.


11:33 say what you want about trunk bashing but the only person who did it well was John Oliver

This is the 6th or so video of yours I've watched, and I gotta say, I like you. Subbed. And not just for the Niel music, although that was a plus.


I love that there are new comments getting thousands of likes 3 years after this video first came out.


Lol holy shit this nigga even tho he dislikes trump said most of the shit that conservatives has been saying for a while, fr dude thats so much for being more truthful and honest than a vast majority of joirnalists


Oh no the prank invasion intro over Jimmy has me dead hahahaha


Wow Emp, you made a 31 minute video complaining about Jimmy Kimmel?

it was good, i like it

smells like the only nirvana song you know

@A guy who cares about small channels  trashes the like button.


23:04 You lost me at "race relations aren't a serious problem in America"

@Meaty Stalactite police brutality???? redlining???? ever heard of it?

Well, how are race relations still a problem then? I know that is a loaded question with how broad this supposed problem would be, but I simply disagree. Sure there is the occasional Karen where some girl flips out and starts yelling the n-word at some bystander, but other than that, how?

24:50 I also disagree with this view of antiracism

But the points that followed are actually very valid


He used to be funny with this routine that he did, can't remember it but it was entertaining(might have got him confused with Jimmy Fallon, whoops LOL). Then he got political, constantly bashed Trump to the point where it wasn't even funny, being more aligned with Democrat propaganda. Used to watch Cobert too and I'm a Republican, thought it was hilarious mind you. There is a point between making fun of someone or something and just being completely nasty and pushing pure propaganda, they both hit that point with Trump and they became something else. And there's them being condescending too, like in your video in which kimmel basically says "We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard in respect to women so the dirty plebs can go on and harass and rape them everywhere they go" That is projecting if i've ever seen it. The fake moral superiority or piousness they try to project like pompous a holes too. I'm sick of it, everyone's sick of it. People just want to be made to laugh, not lectured.


24:01 this entire rant, yet you dont like last week tonight? This exactly the place for this


This is a great video.<br>The racial stuff is a little half-baked and could use a tune up, though.  I hope that you don't really think the civil rights act "fixed racism" and that "not talking about it" is a viable option.  Like I said though, great video.

This is a great video.

We've been 'talking about it' for nearly 70 years now and according to the same group of people who still want to 'talk about it' even kids who have grown up recently still are infested with racism.

So either their solution didn't work and we need to do something different because they can't fix this by 'talking about it', or it isn't a problem anymore and they don't know what they are talking about so we should let the matter rest.

And if you knew about how people's perception of themselves and how they fit into the world alters how they think and behave, you'd know that constantly saying that nonwhite people are a separate special group is counterproductive to the goal of eliminating white racism.


Jimmy Kimmel tried doing comedy in his house during quarantine. He sounds even worse without people laughing.

The reason why they have a laugh track is to pressure you into laughing through human group behavior.

@Brian Farrell It'll blow off after a few weeks

Fucking SNL did “le drumf bad” and “durr coronabirus” sketches in their houses.

To be honest nobody sounds funny rn.
Most of the people in the crowd didnt laugh because something is funny but because they felt kinda responsible to laugh wuth everyone else.
I watched john oliver yesterday like jesus it sounds so weird when he isnt accompanied by the laughter from the crowd.


Man, I haven't heard Black Moth Super Rainbow in like two years, I kinda forgot about them. Thanks for rekindling that interest.


14k people really came here to defend jimbo kimbel


I really don’t think it’s fair to put Kimmel on the same level as John Oliver as John is way WAYYY more entertaining and even during his trump era of content he openly admitted that he hated talking about him and wished he didn’t have to but trump genuinely royally goofed so many things in such a short time that John would be doing his viewers an active disservice by not talking about them like Family separation at the border and funny enough how badly he fucked up the meeting with Kim Jong-un


"I respect your views, however crazy they may be."
but
all she did was explain how basic democracy works and how the average american doesnt take advantage of the system
if you dont like what someone does
replace them
simple logic

Thought Addict stop. Not how that works. Stop being lazy

@Sptflcrw Yeah.....Sure........It ain't. It just ain't important at all, because I don't influence what they are voting. They are the ones dictating what the actual votes are. The popular vote is more of a suggestion(even though it's not supposed to be), while the electoral vote is more of the actual votes coming in during politics. They aren't forced to vote for the candidate the people vote for therefore they can vote for someone else. They are the ones dictating who's president not us. Sure they are supposed to vote what the people voted for, but they don't and get away with it. Since electors(or representatives) don't bother representating what the people are voting for they can vote for someone else. The electoral college is where the people indirectly vote for president and the  electors are the one who directly vote for the president, but if the electors can vote for someone else the people didn't want doesn't that basically make the "regular people's" indirect vote useless since the electors are the ones giving actual influence? It does. Therefore votes from people who aren't electors don't matter.

Here's the qoute and link.
"There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. ... It is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate."
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/electors&ved=2ahUKEwiL9vXeoProAhUUrJ4KHdrUAr4QFjADegQICRAK&usg=AOvVaw3VlNLnoMi_b1eMkZNoY0Yv

Sooo that means it's pointless and a waste of time. I am not giving real contribution in any way shape or form by voting, because I ain't the ones giving the actual votes. Sure it's rare they vote for what the people don't want, but if you read carefully again
"It is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate." So they'll most likely vote for whatever candidate that's part of their party. Not vote for who I want.

If a liberal wanted to vote for a Democrat candidate, but if most electors are Republican the electors aren't gonna vote for what the people want. If a conservative wanted to vote for a Republican candidate, but if most electors are Democrat the electors aren't gonna vote for what the people want.

So no person who ain't a elector can have actual influence in presidential elections unless you convince electors to vote for a candidate you want.

Thought Addict I’m not going to bother arguing with you. Just know that while it’s true the electoral college is stupid. Voting is absolutely important, and your vote does matter

@Sptflcrw "According to the text of Article II, however, each state government was free to have its own plan for selecting its electors, and the Constitution does not explicitly require states to popularly elect their electors. Several methods for selecting electors are described"
 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College

If you were wondering which link the qoute is from and thought I was lying about where the qoute came from. You might argue Wikipedia isn't a great source, however their is debate over that issue. Sure you as an average citizen might be able to change the article and make lies, but the experts can reedit the wiki page to put back the truth.

Part of the pros of Wikipedia is that it has the advantages to being more up to date than scholarly books, because anyone can bring information and they can put what they know as truth in it. Plus the use of books take longer to give out info compared to writing on Wikipedia. After all even scholars miss important details as well as spread out dated info that used to be considered "true", but isn't anymore. The cons is that lies can spread from the fact that it can easily be changed at any given moment, however scholars can also edit it as well so lies in article we'll be edited to bring the truth. That isn't always a guarantee though.

 You can also verify if what they say is truth by finding links to valid websites in Wikipedia. If they don't bring links in the Wikipedia page it's probably a liar or they do have links and was trying to be honest, but didn't bring enough links for a person to know for certain about weather it's true or false.

@Sptflcrw What do you mean? I am not trying to spread misinformation or bring out lies. Be specific on what information is wrong and I'll fix it, because I put plenty of links. Including my own take on the issue.

Pretty much saying "It seems voting is pointless. It seems politicians of USA won't have our best interests at all any time soon." With the rest of the links giving specifics as to why.

If your not specific or at least show how the people are wrong with evidence and present a argument. Your not giving anything to the table.

Thought Addict like, in general. Stop spreading misinformation


Politics and moral grandstanding... So I take you have never watched Steven Colbert? He's politics and moral grandstanding on steroids..


I disagree with so many of the things you say... but I love watching Kimmel getting dunked on lol

@Daniel he's probably talking about some of his political takes.

@Daniel Anything and everything, welcome to the world.


Damn this was the realest video I've ever seen.


The amount of times I said "preach" during this video is insane


"take things into your own hands and vote, do what you believe is right"<br>jimmy: "haha what crazy and wacky opinions"

"take things into your own hands and vote, do what you believe is right"
jimmy: "haha what crazy and wacky opinions"

yea honestly just vote, and if you want then you can try to convince people to your side in a respectable and normal way

It's ugly to see. The woman did say something a little biased with the "we have to make government by ourselves", without asking for politicians' accountability. Fair, lots would disagree on that point.

But when she went on to the more reasonable stuff Kimmel just kept latching onto an image of "crazy af lady, haha 🤪"


jon stewart was too popular, and unfortunately he was deft enough to seperate his incredible intellect from his public persona. now, everyone with a platform thinks they can use politics as a framework for their monologues, while not recognizing how seriously jon stewart treated the subject even as he mocked it. they don't have the same background, fervour, or reverence for politics that jon stewart had. as a result, rather than being a compass pointing towards absurdity so as to steer us towards sanity, they treat pointing to absurdity as the end in its own right.


You're confusing Jimmy Kimmel with Jimmy Fallon


Those 13 thousand people would die for jimmy kimmel lol


bro before this video i didn't know lemming wasa real thing i thought it was always a sega game...


As moronic as they tried to make Rosanne look, she actually made the most intelligent argument about politics I have ever heard.

Oops. Never mind. She's not developing as a human being at all.

Never mind. She hasn't developed as a person at all.

Caravaggio Thing is Fallon is authentic, Colbert is funny despite his  excessive Trump bashing, Oliver doesn’t always focus on Trump. Myers is creative and experimental. Kimmel isn’t the funniest, most savage, experimental or authentic. He is always below all those other guys. This video only made things clearer for me (I didnt know the extent of his lack of vision or about blackface or pants fondling.)

I can handle Fallon, Colbert and Oliver, but Kimmel's like that annoying mushroom guy from the Mario games. You just wanna smack him every time he shows up.

I seriously agreed with everything she said. Then Jimmy comes in saying "lol ur wrong BUT WHAT ABOUT TRUMP, AM I RIGHT XDXDXDXD."  I don't think any response has ever annoyed me like that before.

It made me REALLY fucking angry when he just dismissed her question with "HHA HHA HHA TRUMP XDDD" and proceeded to call her crazy after her little speech.

But she said something with meaning so just call everything she says crazy and her words now mean nothing


Get Emperor Lemon a late night talk show


It's amazing how this 3 year old video still applies to 2022. Even if Trump isn't President anymore.


agree or disagree with the state of america or this video, but i dont get it how some people can be sooooo fucking stuborn and irrational... why not actually disguss it in a normal way to make life better for everyone instead of trying to activly become the victim or talking for a group of people while not even belonging to them


25:48-25:52
The real reason why Chris Rock got slapped.


The woman she interviewed at 26 min had interesting things to say, but he just made fun of her and disagreed the same way a child would make fun of about something they don't understand.

"Well since you just asked me a pointed and borderline invasive question on live television how bout I ask you the same thing?"
"UUUUHHHH TRUMP BAD"
[Audience goes crazy]

"Well since you just asked me a pointed and borderline invasive question on live television how bout I ask you the same thing?"
*"UUUUHHHH TRUMP BAD"*
[Audience goes crazy]

I never felt that enraged by a "celebrity" in my live

@Dr. Spoderman Got my Jimmy's mixed up lol good looks.

@Perks that's Kimmel not Fallon, understandable tho haha.

@Dildo Braggins Yeah that's Sully, and Roseanne has been famous in Hollywood for decades, she's been dealing with some personal problems recently but apparently her trump support must be blamed on that too. It's frustrating to listen to Kimmel treat her like a troubled child..

Atlas Cloud Was that the guy who voiced Sully and Pacha with her?

@charlie a. that was Roseanne. she used to be hugely famous and well known but has been media-suppressed for years


Man emp lemon not sjw enough for me dude. Idk why I watched the whole thing.


Sadly during Covid, Jimmy Fallon decided to hop on the bandwagon and Trump bash. Not saying it is wrong, just saying it has been done to death and he isn't even the president anymore and these late night hosts still do it.


I had the same thought like how is jimmy kimmel so popular when I know no one that actually watches his content


Jimmy Kimmel did some crazy shit in Windy City heat. I feel if Perry wasn’t a genuinely awful person ppl would have canceled him for that.


The thing that annoys me the most about a lot of liberal comedians of his generation, is that they were happy to be non-pc back when the social winds were with them, but now that public opinion has shifted they shifted right along with it; no spine at all. It's fine for someone's opinions  to shift over time, but it is obvious that they always just pander to the times and never cared about producing honest content. People can see through this and that is why they are losing to online indie creators with a fraction of the budget.

Grow up. There just comedians. Leave it at that. If you dont like it dont watch it. Its so dumb how people make things like comedy into politics like just let people be. Most the time they say these thing because they know people will react and want to see what it is. Dont make no political issues into politics. And if you say comedy has a impact on political views dont be so soft its a JOKE.

@Dracocrusher It's also an effect of new culture, anime is more popular than ever because it's also a brand new exciting culture. People won't see Hollywood anymore because other than the stuff before, it's also pretty much become the standard, people won't realize how different American culture is because it's become the standard, it's normalized in entertainment and people are bored, they want fantasy, which Anime gives, everything is sugar coated and made as if everything about Japan is beautiful and wonderful (until you see the reality of it, 99% conviction rate, people sleeping in the office, high suicide rate, passive aggresive culture, too focused on perfection that it's wasteful)

SJWs ruins all, CRT discriminates asians & whites

@Dracocrusher Also the httyd, toy story and kung-fu panda series are bangers.

@Dracocrusher It's also because of how out of touch Hollywood is, they pander too much on mainstream media, while they ARE mainstream media, it's a positive feedback loop, and eventually they will fail, as long as foreign consumers stop thinking Hollywood is cool. There's so many independent artists in the west today that have talent, but it just needs time for them to be recognized and eventually be mainstream. For example, I think an anime was produced for a comic/manga made by a French author, an anime is being produced for Scott Pilgrim, Smiling friends, etc. and there's also stuff like Arcane, Into the spider verse, The northman, etc.

@Dracocrusher It's not capitalism, it's communism in the elites. Government bailouts, monopolies, etc. And pretty much it happens when you have something too big that those people expects people would just consume it because brand recognition, in this case because it's Hollywood. Look at Nintendo, a Japanese company, pokemon sword and shield was a giant dissapointment, everything was just bad, storyline, hardness of gameplay, animation, graphics, idea lore, etc. And it's happening in anime/manga too, there are of course good ones, but there's lots of anime and manga that just BS their way in with the usual stuff, like flashy sword fights and nice art, but the story is crap, prime example is demon slayer, it's generic, and not the good kind of generic, it's executed terribly, everyone is 1d, cute fanservice, "emotional" scenes with no build up, everybody has a dead parent and in the end everything is tied up badly, but people like it because oh cool line work, oh cool art and animation. It's not, it's bad.

@Dracocrusher And that hasn't changed to in America, only in mainstream media and liberal states, when I went to America, made some black friends, I could say lots of racist jokes, and they would be fine, they insulted my normal Asian height or my country, that's fine, I'm not offended, because it's just a play on stereotypes (and sometimes stereotypes are based on truth).

@Dracocrusher No, humor hasn't changed, free speech has changed, people are now more sensitive. You used to be able to joke about 9/11, gay people, etc. And no, not all of those things are inherently racist, homophobic or an attack on minorities. I can say gay people can't drive because they can't think straight, is that homophobic? No, it's a play on words. In Indonesia, we can insult someone's mother and people would realize it's a joke, unless I go on a rant, I could do that and be their friend later, I could say something about darker skinned people, and my darker skinned friend would laugh too and insult my lighter skin, but at the end of the day we'd slap ass and mabar. Of course Indonesia is more strict on the law side, but socially, there's pretty much almost no rules on what we can't and cannot say, unless you're in Jakarta.

@NitroNinja24 can’t argue with that. Most the world is a sellout at this point.

@Feister Woke comedians were edgy starting out, and sanitized over time to become brand safe and have wide appeal. They're corporate husks of human beings who scold the same people they used to be, now that they can afford to be shallow and unfunny.

Basically they sold out to become the establishment, but sold their soul to do so.

Bro I’m in post nut clarity. I didn’t understand shit. Please give tldr.

@Mki Sask the Glump Sod Cause it is, forehead.

They follow the money. That’s all it is and that’s all it will ever be because that’s America

@Dracocrusher Horseshit. You can joke about whoever and whatever you want, that's what comedy is for. South Park, Dave Chapelle and Bill Burr. And yes I know, they cover both sides.

@Baron Von Jo really? I thought most Trump supporters would think it’s communist and anti-american or some such nonsense

@Mki Sask the Glump Sod Dang he was for universal healthcare? Damn. Nearly all Republicans I talk to want free healthcare and he didnt give it to us.

@Zorn's Lemon On the point of individualism, I genuinely think you're not wrong in a sense, but I don't think it's because of progressives or PC culture or something. I genuinely think, as much of a leftist cliche as this is, you can probably attribute a good bit of that to capitalism?

Like for example, back in the day industries weren't as big. A lot of classic NES titles were just made by like less than 10 people in a room, you'd have films mainly written by like 3-4 people, focus testing wasn't as big, etc. Like you can realistically watch the original Star Wars and attribute the successes of that film to a very specific handful of people who argued against Lucas for changes. And then everything just got way bigger, right? Like how many people worked on the latest Avengers film or on something like Wanda Vision?

And I think that's a bit of a double edged sword because on one hand it means you get way more resources in these industries, something like Monster Hunter World is clearly better made than something like Pong and it'd be impossible for a small indie studio to make a game like that work as well as it does. But it also strips away a lot of authorial intent and personality from a lot of media.

You look at something like The Evil Dead and it's made for basically nothing, there's extras in the shots, tons of things went wrong, etc. and while it's not normal for really good stuff to come from those conditions, it worked super well and those flaws became part of the appeal of the film, like you get a lot more insight into the minds of the people behind it. But then you look at any modern studio film and it's all so generic feeling. Good stuff still comes out, but everyone's having their scripts re-touched by 50 other writers, every studio's using the same type of engines for their CG and those engines are good at the same types of things, and they all have to hit the same set of plot beats with nothing that rocks the boat too hard because nobody wants to waste millions of dollars. Which also means nobody wants to take risks either, everything has to be a sequel because there's too much money involved to risk a flop.

It's all really cold and impersonal and just kind-of bland. I mean, when's the last time you walked out of a big film that got a lot of promotion and really had something to think about and chew on, you know? There's not really anything made to challenge people anymore. I mean, not in big western media at least. Then you check out a new anime and 12 episodes in people are using quantum science to bullshit about the nature of society and humanity and it's like "Oh, fuck, this is just going off somewhere wild! I need to know where the writer's going with this crap!"

@Dracocrusher It’s a fair point, I should be careful that my criticisms aren’t based on nostalgia and allow for people and the media they create to update as new thinking on social issues emerges, I feel you on that.

Part of my criticism goes, I think, a level deeper than gay jokes; what I appreciated about that era was the individualism and honesty that came with the “right to offend”, I saw the media figures that espoused it as fighting for something worthy even if I didn’t agree with what they said. Seeing many of them go back on that position in favour of virtue signaling and public shaming for unsavoury opinions makes me feel a bit duped, it’s the realization that most of the media is simply reflecting the culture and not making any statement itself.

It occurs to me that I’m not the first person to realize this, I remember older people at the time joking about how we were being sold individualism off of box store shelves, seems as though they may have had a point.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

I mean, yeah, humor has changed, you basically have to change with the times. People used to joke about gay people all the time back in the day, and that type of stuff doesn't really work anymore now that people are more aware that homosexuals are just normal people too. We've left all the racist and misogynistic stuff behind, too, because it's really awkward to try to make fun of, say, black people, when black issues are actually super relevant and important right now.

You don't have to miss those jokes anymore, you can just let them die and see people make new material. It's fine, lol. You don't need to hide behind calling it non-pc humor, you can just say you miss the gay jokes and I won't judge you for that. They used to be really funny in 2005, but things have changed a lot since then.

Man Show Jimmy Kimmel was probably the best and how he was probably able to fandangle some sort of viewership when he made the jump to talk show host. I agree with everything you said tho, and its a damn shame he sold out thoroughly. Not to say theres anything wrong with selling out (You, do you!) but you'd think with his background he would've been that one to be a thorn in the industry side but instead, he drank the Flavor-aid.

Much like how Chapelle thinks he can stay dark for more than a decade then come back with his holier than thou attitude. Shit stinks and I can only stomach him in small doses now (Grew up with/Love the Chapelle Show)


20:00 to be fair the UK doesnt allow guns unless you have a licence for specific use. Which is why there is far less gun crime. Knife crime on the other hand is different.

Despite no guns, UK has a similar murder rate to many US spots. If you look at the data on murder rates, you'll understand its not gun-loving Republicans that are causing the sky high murder rates. Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, LA, Oakland, Chicago, etc. Take those cities out of the stats and America is actually one the safest countries per capita.


Holy shit, I just realized you used Liquid Tension Experiment music at the beginning of the episode lol


Politics is the biggest echo chamber of all time.


Mate, your volume levels are disabled Olympics level. Stop it
