Well now I respect Jimmy Fallon a lot more for not shoving his political views in the show. Wow I never thought I would say that

He's so unfunny and annoying, but he's such a genuinely good guy!

Exactly, Kimmel is just so hypocritical. I really didn't like how he used his son for political reasons. Yes, I do feel bad he is suffering, but that's not the way to go about it.

Kavya Sundar Even better. At least he’s honest about where he stands on politics.

PolarizeMe he said he's not interested in politics and he genuinely doesn't know anything about it

Same. I mean I fell in and out w/liking Fallon but now I can honestly say I like the fact that he’s politically neutral or silent about it on his show.


It was never about helping the Poor the sick.  It was about giving them crumbs so they could stay in their ghetto, welfare, sanctuary cities, and away from suburban and upper middle class neighborhood.  Try being a  minority moving in to those gated communities, and see how the restrictions get much more difficult.  Those are your democrats paying your ebt so you stay away.

STRIFE_45 The gated community part, sure. But they're trying to make sure that every single neighborhood has a certain amount of "diversity". They want the Ghetto to spread into the middle class neighborhoods.


I don't care about the politics, i just think late night shows in general suck. They're not funny.

@C Only person who cares about me is my grandmother and she's close to death. I know no one cares. The trouble is, I care. I care about the whole planet. I care about future generations. I have love for humanity that humanity doesn't deserve or show me back. Sure, I'll curse at people and call them idiots, but I still have love for them in some form. There are very few people I actually hate.

By the way, every story has been told and there are no original thoughts. At least I don't blindly listen to the mass media. I come up with my own fucking ideas. There isn't a single person that I fully agree with or base my views off of.

@TFrills You're the one quoting things from people who don't know or care about you. Do you also like repeating common phrases to prove your points? come on. Have an original thought.

@Vox3l-Gl1tch There is proof. Look for it if you want. I have better things to do than explain it all myself.

@Vox3l-Gl1tch Isn't it obvious? For an excuse to go to war. The middle east is a pivotal location for modern resource extraction. It's becoming more of an international trade zone as China looks to build the silk road project. Saudi Arabia and Israel are also key partners that expect support from the United States, but the obstacle is the democratic system, which they manipulated.

@Vox3l-Gl1tch BTW you'd be surprised how many business owners actually agree with me. And if they don't, I know when to shut my mouth and just play the game. That's how I thrive as a professional without compromising my beliefs. I just slowly feel things out. One business owner thoroughly agreed with me and even showed me evidence that 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government.

@Vox3l-Gl1tch I'll be honest with you though, I voted for the first time last year for the California governor. My grandmother really wanted me to. It was Gavin Newsom vs John Cox.
Newsom didn't write anything on the voting book, but Cox had an incredibly moving and inspiring short essay that blew me away. Being stoned at the time, I vibed with it so thoroughly that I wept. I felt like the illuminati had read my mind. "How could this be?", I thought.
They had to be using big data collection systems that have been collecting over the years to try and pick candidates that are more aligned to the target demographic they are trying to reach and manipulate. I'm actually a digital marketer, and the similarity between marketing and politics is disturbingly similar.

Either way, i voted. And I voted for State and local propositions for the first time too. I will NOT vote for president though.

@Vox3l-Gl1tch I try not to talk about politics in my everyday life because very few people understand. Here's an example for you. All the presidents have been puppets, handpicked by the puppetmasters - owners and top management of multinational corporations and other members of the 1%.

Secret societies with ancient roots have persisted to this day and have planned and orchestrated every event in our nations history as well as events around the globe. They consolidate power and wealth and are the source of our income inequality, especially here in California. They control politics with their wealth and influence.

Voting is a joke. They control the whole voting pool. No party is trustworthy. The masters won't let anyone into their political administration who isn't a verified, handpicked member of their group. I doubt they would even be allowed to run for office if their views were too extreme.

These are my theories on the US political system and the reason why I don't vote.

@Vox3l-Gl1tch WRONG. Very few people are capable of understanding my higher level of perception. I see life from a holistic view. If you could truly see things without bias, you would agree with me.

@Sans Spiritus yeah I read it when I was 13. Great book. Sometimes a think a dictatorship is exactly what we need. Ignorant brainwashed "voters" can't be trusted for shit. Even if the democracy is genuine, the process is far too slow and the problems we face require swift action. I believe there is a time and a place for various governmental structures. A transition can be made back to democracy once our immediate problems are addressed and the system is fixed. Might take several decades before that though.

TFrills, have you read animal farm? If we take the country back by force, what's stopping it from becoming a totalitarian dictatorship?

@Monophone You're right. That's why I don't vote. it;s fucking pointless. We need to rise up and take the country back by force.

JF Productions those don’t really count they’re more of a parody of a late night talk shows

<b>I T ‘ S     C U R R E N T    Y E A R</b>

relix7373 what about the Eric Andre show and space ghost?

To be fair, I think what relix7373 meant is that politics should be discussed (seriously) by qualified people, not comedians or talkshow hosts.

@Chris Li I mean, I would say it's a fair point. Politics is always to some degree involved in our daily lives, and affects pretty much everybody. The thing though is that I just wish that things weren't this divided. I wish that we as a society are more able to act like rational adults than just blame everybody else for our problems and divide families divide relationships divide people all for the sake of their ideologies. I'm sick of any division, I'm fucking sick and tired of every ounce of this bullshit and either way if I vote I would feel that I would be outnumbered by a million fucking dumbasses on both opposite sides of the spectrum and that I would be caught between cyborg lizard cthulu monster in human flesh Hillary or sort of brash and isolationist Trump that really ain't what I want either. It's like "Do you wanna die by every nail and limb on your body slowly removed until you slowly bleed out or would you like every bone being trampled on my elephants?" either way it's fucking painful. Idk if I rambled, I mean I'm pretty sure I did, it's just point being that it's getting mentally exhausting and I don't know who to trust anymore. It feels like every one of them could be lying on either side.

you dont care for politics? i mean ok don't cry when your roads are broken or when you don't have the police to call for help.


Crazy how 2017-2018 is when I became a republican... this aged like a fine wine


The kobe bryant thing was a bit of a stretch and you know that. It's clear that something did go down in 2003 in that hotel room and that the media brushed it off. But kobe is the only person accused of rape to give out a formal public apology the way he did, and it's clear that his statements which are against what any lawyer or advisor would suggest are well intentioned and honest.Of course it all comes down to whether you personally take it as truth or not, but you can't just throw that in there as a point against Kimmel. I hate all late night television shows, and I like this video and most your vids but dont sneak kobe in there like that. RIP


You don't hate mondays, you hate capitalism.

That's discrimination against mondays, how dare you

Do you think the president is racist, Garfield?

OMG garfield is that you!? Quick, go on my channel, I have the undeniable proof you have been looking for that epstein is still alive!!!

wow so many replies. this sure is garftastic

Hey what’s that cats name from Garfield?

@Garfield how much you willing to pay up for lasagna?

Hell yeah it’s America’s favorite fat lasagna loving cat. How’s odie?

@Garfield Garfield for like GoRefEiLd hehe gotem

Do you think the president is racist Garfield?

you should watch STORROR. Might change your mind. (they upload every monday)

I miss you, Garfield. Why did you leave me?

Garfield orange cat Boyo I have some moldy lasagna.

@OLD colonslash Thanks! Do you got some lasagna on you? Ha ha ha.

A fresh breath of non-political air. Thanks garfield!


I want this to get so popular that jimbo has to draw attention to it on his next show


You make some great points, but I just have two complaints. The first is that you don't have to be rich and powerful to get away with sexual assault, in fact I think most people do get away with it, depending on how mild. In addition, race relations aren't not a problem just because Obama was elected president. There are still a lot of issues as to how people judge others based on their race.


You should see Kimmel’s Instagram, literally every other post is about Trump

@Twiffy Games what politics does to a man

@Richard V. lmao dude keeps quoting liberals.

@Richard V. fucking lmaoooooo the more you struggle the more funny this gets.

@Richard V. Bragged? Rubbing it in your face and bragging are similar but they aren't the same thing lmao. Then again. You are a trump supporter. Things like this get passed you, Quite often too i'm sure. Lul

@Richard V. Fact are insulting? LMAOMAMOAMOAOMAOMDFSAMODOMF

I mean it's pretty obvious you're new here looooool

@Richard V. Lmao, I'm so emotional. That I'm here defending my idol to death because a stranger made fun of him on the internet.. LMAOOOOOOOO that's you btw.

@PoisonBannana trump never bought up obama as nearly as much as Jimmy Kimmel. That's not even comparable.

@PoisonBannana Twitter is wack anyway. Jack dorsey lost millions of dollars after he banned Donald trump. So I wouldn't be laughing

@PoisonBannana yes. They're all in it together

@The Artisan just like trump had on Obama?

You should see trumps twitter account, Oh wait you can't lmaoooooo

"Please come back. I have even less material without you!"

Trump’s got free real estate in Jimmy’s mind

Idk why he's got such a hard on for Trump lol. Maybe he's got a crush on him

The guy isn't even president anymore wtf


Why watch talk shows when you have a functioning brain?


banning guns will surely work, just like banning alcohol and drugs worked perfectly fine

@Declan Stoeckel
1. Maybe I'm crazy but I'd rather a shootout than an execution.

2. And I'm sure Phil would appreciate the same critters in a small town not killing his chickens/ducks/geese/calves/any other small animal susceptible to coyotes or the sort. Probably also be glad to not have their trash shredded and their feed wasted by raccoons, opossum, and other varmints.

3. I can also agree here, hunting isn't as much of a necessity these days but ruling it out as some ancient technique that's useless is just ignorant. There are so many more lessons that people can be taught by hunting. It's a timeless practice and one that shouldn't be discouraged, as long as it's legally performed. Definitely some middle ground to be reached here.

4. Guess you never heard of how the US started? British soldiers, British king overstretching his rule on British citizens, overly taxing British colonists, firing upon British civilians... yeah it's what sparked our country to be what it is so writing this off as well is just ignoring history.

5. I'd say the people with self esteem problems with guns aren't the ones to fear. It's the ones who do anything illegal with them, the ones who don't follow laws. And efficiency depends on the gun, I mean what's more deadly - a baseball bat or a .25ACP pistol? Shoot me with the .25 any day, I'd rather a wasp sting than a clobbering lol
Okay, immature mode over, sorry :P

Banning guns in the US isnt going to do jack-shit. <br>It doesnt matter if it stops SOME shootings, the problem isnt the guns. The problem runs much deeper than the weapons.

@Grugg Remember how its super easy to get a gun in the states bordering Illinois? Yea its not that hard to get guns into Chicago because the of laws OUTSIDE of Chicago. And most people aren't making the argument to ban guns. IT SHOULD BE HARDER TO OBTAIN ONE. Theyre to readily available. Theres more guns than people in this country. You want a gun? Fine, it should be licensed just like an automobile. Theres many common sense gun laws that can be put into place.

@Blackman JPEG You mean the police in Europe who won't investigate grooming gangs or punish violent crime perpetuated by a certain demographic because they're afraid of being called "racist".

@Jesse Brol Addiction isn't real at all.

Here's the problem with the whole "We just restrict who can get guns" argument it's impossible to tell what someone's going to do with a gun or anything else for that matter, the whole thing with the current gun control laws in the US if I remember correctly, is preventing the mentally ill and those with criminal records to get weaponry as easily or in a lot of cases at all.

Banning drugs, guns and alcohol does work in a small country. But not America, really no.

It’s a bit different, people don’t need to use guns everyday. Many countries with strict gun laws have no issues from those laws, except less deaths and massacres. Or is that what you meant?

@Noah Jacks yeah theres been like 100 stabbings in england this year and in australia there are still mass shootings by fbi or cdc (i dont remember which one) definition and as a son of a not too law abiding citizen of australia i have seen him and his friends with illegal guns but this was a while ago.

Definitive Dubs Its not just a privilege, it’s a constitutional right. And yes, guns are bought to protect. I’ve had to use a gun to defend my girlfriend myself. It’s a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. And the question is not “ask yourself which is more important, people’s lives or your fetish”, it is more toward “do you want to defend your right to bear your arms or let the government who we just so graciously trust (sarcasm) overrun us.” We could just ban all people affiliated with Islam too. Offended? Well why would you be? It would save many lives at the expense of Muslims living here. I’m not saying we should, I’m making a valid point. And I would love to see whoever you refer to as “we” taking away others guns like it’s soo easy “overnight”. It would be the the biggest outbreak of civil war this country has ever seen. Why don’t we ban cars? Cars kill people more than anything ever right now. “Ohhh maybe we should make people get a license” yep, we have laws and regulations now and the fatality rate is still higher than guns. You think that if you do the same, it’s gonna help a lot? Again I don’t agree with banning cars either but it is a valid point. And why do you trust the government so much? Law enforcement? Seriously? And the whole purpose of the right is to defend ourselves from the tyranny of the military or law enforcement.

Ah yes, US citizens guns would surely work on military-grade equipment! Also, people act like the US Government going tyrannical would happen in a vacuum. They seem to completely ignore the fact that the UN exists.

People who want to completely ban anything know the least about that thing.  Period.  They just sell themselves that it’s bad and they never bother to do research.

@My Dog’s Name is Lucy Is it? Criminals will always get their hands on what is banned to the public: guns, drugs, alcohol, etc.

I don't know if you support banning guns, but lets say you do: that means you would try to disarm law abiding citizens, maybe you will get some criminals but the majority of the later will just slip through the cracks. So, you are just endangering the common public and cutting away their rights just to push your virtue signaling.

Well I’ve hardly hear of mass shootings in Europe where guns are banned.
There’s a difference between banning guns and banning alcohol and drugs- there is clear short term positives to using those substances!
With banning guns it may relocate crime to another location eg knife crime, however this will be far less catastrophic than gun crime.

@Matias Araya the media is terrible here, the news is very political biased and they exploit mass tragedies to support their political agendas. Talk Shows also have the same problem. The problem in America is that the media is political biased, (both rep and dems) which leads to a them vs us mentality, which in turn leads to extremism. AKA, nobody compromises in this country and its hurting this country for the worst. This would normally not be a problem because the mainstream media is dying, but for some reason silicon valley companies like Facebook, Google, twitter, etc. bend the knee to the media.

@jsweeney7359 I feel like the gun problem in USA is a consequence of collective paranoia. You Americans are paranoid about too many things. It's not really the people's fault though, more like the media and your government, and religion a bit.

@Matias Araya we can't buy tanks to defend ourselves, that's why we desperately want our guns. It's really the only thing we have to defend ourselves with

@jsweeney7359 Damn man, wasn't your Independence on 1776?, I think it's time to get over it, I don't think you could fight your government unless you were able to buy a tank.

@Matias Araya it's due to how our nation was founded. We had to rebel against Britain to gain independence because the british government was tyrannical. Americans feel that if we don't have weapons to defend ourselves with, we won't be able to fight back against our government in the event that it becomes corrupt and tyrannical.

Can some americans tell me why do you think your country has so much gun violence and why do you like guns so much?, I've always been fascinated by how much you love your guns, never seen it anywhere else (in the developed countries at least).

Just look at the cities with the strictest gun laws; San Fran, LA, Chicago and NY. Perfect utopian cities.

Just ignore the fact that they have the highest gun violence rates in the Nation. Their gun control laws are working PERFECTLY.....

@[Elephant Ghost] there are more guns than people in the US. It wont turn into another war on drugs scenario. Who is going to confiscate them? The police? In the eyes of many the police wouldve just become enemy agents working against the bill of rights and the constitution. How do you think those people will react? 100 million gun owners in the US. If just 1% of them decide to fight back, well now they have an army equal to the 765k state and local and 115k federal police with arrest powers. Whose morale will break first in that situation? Cops arent robots, theyre living human beings with families who didnt sign up for that. Eventually theyll just quit or outright refuse to do it. Then what? Will anti gun supporters be the ones to force them to give them up? Like physically force them?

You use the military on US soil and then it becomes a civil war. Thats illegal and youre using the military against the american people en mass to violate the 2nd amendment,  which was put in place to allow the people to fight back. The number of gun owners fighting back would be well over 1% at that point. Not to mention that most military would eventually betray the ones telling them to do that, since many of those who understand the importance of guns were in the military.

All that tech would be useless. You cant enforce a police state with drones or tanks, youd need soldiers on street corners to do it. We ran into this gigantic issue in Iraq and afganistan.

Lets not even get into the logistical and geographical nightmare that would be. The US is very big and very spread out.

A lot of gun grabbers fail to understand the absolute number of guns in the US and the mentality of many gun owners. They fail to understand that enforcement of those laws requires people and theres a limit to what those people will put up with. There is no more well armed group of people in the history of mankind than the US citizenry. It isnt even close. Even the most well armed military on earth, the US military with about 3 million guns is still outnumbered 100 to 1 in terms of total weapons. They might have better weapons but they have much fewer numbers and theyd be stuck in a situation where they dont know who is civilian and who isnt.

Molon labe "come and take them" is the mentality many hold

"You and what army" is the truth of the matter. Are YOU going to go up into the woods and root them out?

I dont want that to happen. Banning guns would kill way more people than it could ever save.

It's presented as an option when it never was an option to begin with.

@Other Gopher That would be because they border with states with very lax gun control laws and so we have gun trafficking across state lines. If you actually look at the data, 2/3rds of guns recovered from those states were actually acquired in other states. Maybe do a little research before you start throwing bullshit arguments into the open.

@Other Gopher You said "banning guns does nothing". Australia proves that wrong. Who the fuck cares if they're an island nation? The point is less people are dying. Their homicide rate has decreased tenfold since the ban. Don't sit there and pretend that gun crime would not go down with a gun ban, because it factually would.

@Other Gopher Australia banned guns. Name one mass shooting they'd had.

@Other Gopher Australia banned guns. Name one mass shooting they'd had.

@Definitive Dubs "But banning guns and taking guns away from civilians who don't have a hunting license, and aren't/weren't military or law enforcement? We could do that overnight."

Doing that in America would be a very, VERY bad idea. There are many thousands of Americans who expect, not fear, expect the government to turn tyrannical at any moment. How do you think they'll react when armed police turn up at their doors demanding they turn over their guns?

So I’m sure not many people are just going to give them up. That leaves felony contraband within the hands of millions of Americans... then people will start copping felonies for having illegal firearms. Prison ain’t cheap

Police would have to dedicate more resources to this errand. It could turn into another war on drugs scenario

I don't understand why gun fetishists have this idea that unless a solution 100% abolishes all gun crime forever across the nation, it's not a worthwhile solution. As if such a solution could ever exist. Like, yes, obviously people would still find a way to get guns if guns were banned, but the vast majority of mass shootings are committed by legal gun owners, who did not go crazy and buy guns to kill people but rather decided to use them since they had immediate access. It's unlikely that they would be willing to risk buying guns off the black market if that immediate access did not exist.

To say that a banning of gun sales to ordinary civilians would not reduce the number of mass shootings per year in the country would be absurd and patently untrue. Factually, yes: there WOULD be a reduction. And that's all people are asking for. It's just not the solution that you want, because it takes away YOUR privilege. Ask yourself which is more important: helping to prevent the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of innocent people every year including children, or being able to own such a tool of destruction yourself, for the sake of "the safety of your family"? (Hint: You don't actually care about that. You just want a gun because you like guns, guns are cool, and you get off on the idea of being John McClaine.)

Don't get me wrong, gun violence IS a complex issue born out of all the things EmpLemon mentioned, but solving all of those things would take a complete societal restructure. It would take probably 50 years to solve things like gang violence and poverty, and that's being extremely generous. But banning guns and taking guns away from civilians who don't have a hunting license, and aren't/weren't military or law enforcement? We could do that overnight.

at some point, laws are ineffective. gun control is no different (unless you want this country to collapse quickly, like me, then please, go on). go be an authoritarian somewhere else

@puppy dog thats a bad thing when it comes to anti gunners, they'll just keep saying the exact same thing louder and louder until people start to agree. When you call them out on neglecting details or flat out lyingthey will just cite "them crazy hill billies think we're tryin to take their guns away" or "did you know there were 355 mass shootings in 2016" (which is based of a source from reddit that news outlets picked up for some reason and the parameters where 3 or more people being injured)

@Ollie Does Art yea think most of his audience was like on the “right-wing, liberal destroyed, Ben Shapiro wannabe” when this video was uploaded. It was 2017 after all and most of those edgy teenagers seem to ether have change or left after a lack of political videos

Yeah I completely missed that when I watched this two years ago. There's a couple other "haha Jewish people = bad = funny" jokes in here. imo puts him on the same level as Kimmel. At least Jimmy's shitty orange man bad stuff wasn't rooted in the attempted extermination of "inferior" people.


Regarding 30:18 , while I see where you're coming from in a lot of things, don't confuse the importance of how fiction can influence the real world. Writers and directors, animators and audio designers have to take into account culture of the times with their movies. While Jimmy Kimmel is basically Hollywood's biggest rectum of commentary, remember that that Hollywood often hires many more much more culturally tuned and SMART people to the stories that hit the big screen. Jimmy Kimmel is just one of many dickheads in the bunch, don't screw up his commentary with real commentary in fictional movies.


To me it makes sense to rip on the president for threatening nuclear war, but I agree that people should've come up with something better to do than constantly talk about Donald Trump.
    I think that he's an incompetent oaf when it comes to being a world leader, but like him or not, try to do something other than echo the words of people who agree with you back at them and be an arse to those who don't.
    This is a good video.

Biden now threatening with a war with Syria...<br>Lmao

Biden now threatening with a war with Syria...
Lmao


I just found this video, and wow, shit's changed.
My dad actually works for JKL, and I've met the guy. He's like any Hollywood personality out there. Seems really detached and doesn't care when you talk to him. Never really bothered me, it's Hollywood. He wasn't funny, though. He just made some shitty joke about something I can't remember.

It's weird, because he and my dad both share this anti-Trump hatred. There's no real logic behind it, either. It feels like this sorta situation where it's just "trendy" to hate Trump. That's modern television. Colbert has ran into this same issue where his jokes are just based on Trump. What happened to comedy? Why is everything so goddamn political?

I've had this on my mind for a while and I felt like bringing it up here.
Incidentally, my dad also wouldn't stop parroting everything Kimmel said. He'd record every episode on DVR and I guess he just listens to him (also to see his own work on it which I guess I can't blame him on).

I don't speak to my father for personal reasons, but if I ever do end up talking to him again, I'll probably show him this video, lol.

Jale The Village Troublemaker Nope. We ended up having an argument about Trump last time we did talk, though.<br>I quoted this video a fair bit, just didn't really have time to show him it, lol.

Spencer Whiteway Wait? Does your have blonde hair? Because I meet  a girl with your last name last week at the mall.

Its only trendy to hate trump cause there are tons reasons to do so, new ones coming every day. Colbert also has consistently made fun of every president and his writting isnt as bad as Kimmel.

Jale The Village Troublemaker yeeeeeeeeeeees i want to know too, but i don't think he will

Spencer Whiteway I 100% agree with this. There actually are really funny jokes and shots to be made at during this current presidency but all anybody says is “Trump is an orange” or “Trump is stupid” when there is potential for SO much more than that.

Armen Reddy The only unbiased liberal on the planet.

Because to people like Kimmel and Colbert, it's what the people want. It's the "in thing". You know how YouTubers kinda keep doing the same shit over and over and get loads of views because of that? That's the same effect we're seeing here. Trump gets made fun of because he's a brash President who isn't afraid to speak his mind.

I have to say, this entire video hits the nail on the head with everything here. I agree 100% with it. Like EmpLemon, I'm not even a fan of Trump, but people aren't willing to give the dude a chance when he actually does something within reason and logical. Because it's Trump, they wanna make fun of him because he seems to be some sort of poster boy for "hate speech", whatever the fuck that entails.

I've lived around shit like that for years, I know exactly where that was going with it. Like my dad and Kimmel, who would praise Obama and talk about how amazing of a president he was, wouldn't ever get as angry or as condescending about Obama, but for Trump, that's out the window. Why be tolerant if he's a bigot?

On that note, too, it's especially weird how Hollywood seems to chastise you if you have even a remotely conservative opinion/praise for someone like Trump.

It's an industry of flip-floppers who will do whatever they can to bring in financial restitution.
Huh, sounds a little bit like current YouTube now that I think about it.

That Roseanne Barr segement is also kinda different relevant now, considering.


Is this video going to get a 1,000,000 views too? It deserves it.

Youtube's algorithm doesn't recognize real shit. Only normie nonsense.


I agree with the video so far, wish you’d mention that Kobe was found innocent of his trial though. Kinda seemed like you were implying that he was a rapist. I get your overall point tho


I never liked him tbh he's kinda mean for no reason.


So who asked for your opinion might be an informative video but alas I am wrong again<br>Well count yourself lucky I didn’t make it more than a minute into your video before I commented and turned it off good job

So who asked for your opinion might be an informative video but alas I am wrong again

So the first minute was just Emp saying Jimmy Kimmel is terrible. Well unless you watched further, we found the world's only die hard Jimmy Kimmel fan.


Emplemon what do you think of trevor Noah?


If you can’t stand Jimmy Kimmel then don’t watch Jimmy Fallon... 10x worse


Jimmy: By May? He's not still gonna be President by May!

Well it's May now Mr. Kimmel and guess what... Trump is still the commander in chief. So just keep complaining all you want in your attempts to change this country, because sadly it's not happening anytime soon.

I don't like Trump either but yeah Bender's right. All you and these other late night hosts ever do now is complain.


Remember that guy who did ytp’s?

This is him now, feel old yet?

Yea he was like what 12 years old? Thats how old he was when he did his first ytp ever

Did this dude actually make YouTube poop?? Lmao actually does make me feel old


God, finally someone who sees Kimmel's show for what it really is: rhetorical, attention-seeking and manipulative


I think you would be surprised at the ammount of sexual assaults that go unpunished. I have heard from several female friends that it is almost a common occurrance. I happens on buses, malls, partys, bars, resturaunts etc. It doesn't have to be a rape or attempted rape to classify as a sexual assault. If a guy intentionally touches a woman in an innapropriate place without their consent then that is sexual assault and unfortunately it is very hard to identify the culprit on a crowded dancefloor for example.

@iBenjamin1000 yeah exactly. It's more common than most people think, unfortunately...

I've been scrolling through the comments for a while because there were a few things that he brushed over that just didn't sit well with me, and I wanted to see if anyone else had picked up on them. I have absolutely read enough anecdotal accounts to have reason to believe that sexual assault is a bigger problem than just powerful men in entertainment and other fields.


His show is awful. He’s not funny. He has zero chemistry with his guests. He comes off totally fake. I feel this awkward cringe feeling watching him interact with guests. Conan, Fallon, Letterman, Colbert, Stewart, Maher, etc. all have real personalities, and interact with the guests in a way that feels like a genuine sit down over a beer or a glass of wine. Everything Kimmel does feels forced, and imitated, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. It’s like he’s only put there bc he’s the only guy willing to push whatever message or agenda they use him to push. He just comes off as this gutless robot with no mind of his own.


im not sure how if you say "orang man bad" you automatically have a phd in political science

@Justyn HaLl <br>Funniness is subjective

n-no one is saying that... where is anyone saying that?


I'am so proud of this man explaining whats wrong with "Entertainment".

"Celebrity culture in America is toxic-"

Laughs in K-pop stans and other countries' celebrity worship

Stanning kpop is still an example of toxic celebrity culture. Just because a celebrity isn't in America doesn't mean its not contributing.

Honestly, celebrities are worshipped like gods across the world by different groups of people, big or small.

I hear that there are celebrity temples in india. But I'm not sure if it's real

@Stepladder yet they feel harmless, they don't actually do illegal things and spread misinformation,<br>thier weirdness is detained only to themselves and people laugh at them yet, somehow, these people are very well be the safest and tame among others

not even 10 minutes in and you absolutely destroyed him already. please expose more shit that goes on in our society oh great ytp meme master


Ive hated jimmy Kimmel for years im glad I stumbled upon this.


I am a republican and i. like how well said  this video was and how he tackled a big problem with the US media  and left wing "cancel culture"


I’m glad that someone politically unbiased is talking about him


Damn I feel like you should have taken your own advice and kept your political views out of the video lol.


I massively respect what Roseanne Barr said in the 26:00 clip.
It’s so moderate and nice. Only ideological zealots would want anyone to fail the nation. I wish more liberals would come back to her level


A lot of good points... A lot of terrible opinions... Half decent vid


The only talk show I can tolerate is Conan O’Brien. And it’s actually pretty good


Jimmy Kimmel is the talk show equivalent of ytp.

I'm glad there's someone out there who sees through the B.S. Keep us fighting with each other so we're too distracted to point the finger where it belongs. There's a two party system for a reason, and it's merely a means to an end.


You know those kids from the Halloween Candy videos who say Jimmy Kimmel is dumb? Yeah, they’ve got a point


Maybe the real Orange Man was the friends we made along the way...


Over here in the UK, we are blessed we do not have the saturation of guns, and it is difficult to attain a gun, though criminals do succeed

One problem we do have in the UK, is a massive issue with knife crime.

If all the guns in the US were taken away, I am fairly confident what would happen is human aggression would shift from gun crime to melee weapons, knives, machetes, etc.

Exactly it’s seems like people forget knives are used as weapons too.


me before this video: Well I haven’t watched that much jimmy kimmel but he seems like a decent man and I don’t see anything wrong with him or his show

me after this video: i want jimmy kimel in the fucking gullotine

In a way, this video is just as bad as Jimmy is. We are being told or convinced to dislike this person... letting this 1 video decide your opinion of him makes us just as bad as the ppl watching him. <br>I, for one, appreciate the info in the vid. And will keep it in mind in the future when I see the stand up bits from these TV entertainers

This is legit the first time I've heard someone claim media bias and thought, "Yeah, I can see that."

I’m happy for the breakthrough but how could you not have seen it long ago?  That’s scary.


although i don't like Jimmy Falon much i 100% agree with his decision not to focus on political humor


I liked Jimmy Kimmel when I was 12 and then I grew up


it is absolutely bonkers to think of all these americans going crazy over someone they have never met and no next to nothing about. it is a self centered attitude. me me me it is all about me me me . they just want to go tell all their friends that they were wityhin 80 feet of some famous person , as if that is something to be impressed about


Imagine walking around with the name "Jimmy Kimmel"


I love how at 18:02 jordon peele an actual comedian looks so awkward after Jimmy told his “joke”

It’s almost like jimmy Kimmel isn’t funny


I remember really loving Jimmy Kimmel growing up. But I think that was more because he was a better complimentary personality to others like Adam Carolla. Kimmel was great at being the sensible everyman in those bits, and seemed to be more along for the ride than commanding the show. But over the last two decades, he hasn't had anyone to play off of. As a solo act, Kimmel just isn't that funny. I figured his late night show would end just a couple years in, but, I'm about as surprised as everyone else who grew up watching him. It seemed pretty obvious just how much of a downturn Jimmy's quality took when he made the show mostly about himself, those of us already familiar with his potential and brand of comedy were eagerly awaiting his inevitable boot from a format that didn't fit him at all.

But it never happened.

So now in his effort to clamor for credibility among a new demographic of people, he's taken to grasping for sanctimoniously condescending bleeding-heart pandering. The very uncouth humor that made him a household name was now easy fodder to paint Jimmy a smarmy hypocrite, effectively killing his standing among those who created his television legacy. By refusing to die a hero, he became an embarrassment.


Rosanne was, is, and will always be boss af. Nobodies perfect and everybody makes mistakes, but she's a fucking bad ass and she's been spittin truth for decades.


This guy watched 15 minutes of Jimmy Kimmel and makes a 30 min vid on how he represents whats wrong with America lol...for real though Jimmy is unfunny as it gets


You can tell at 27:15 that the liberal audience was either not listening or they were sleeping because there wasn't any standing ovation like when they give it to Kimmel when he released carbon dioxide


I never thought I would respect Jimmy Fallon.


Fallon: fake
Kimmel: asshole
Canon: a beautiful saint who blesses late night television 🙏🏻😔❤


Kimmel is the combination of Fallon and maher. And does neither well.


I can understand why Emp kind of regrets this video. It's mean spirited and edgy.

But I'm still entertained by it.


I was just saying the exact same thing about every single late night show these days.  They’re all Jimmy Kimmel.


Jimmy Kimmel truely should be called Mr. Hollywood because that place is a special kind of hell


'If you dont like the president then make the effort to go vote for someone else'

'Your ideas are crazy'

What


His show is like one of them parody radio shows in GTA5...


In 2021 the "political" part didnt age well


This video was so good. I appreciate the effort.


28:07 bruh did this guy really just ask Elmo if he thinks Trump is racist?

What the hell. I doubt he should be asking a FICTIONAL character on what they see as a political issue.

It’s fine if they asked an actor. But they cannot ask a character which cannot think for itself


Oof that race relations bit 23:02 did not age well


My respect for Jimmy Falon (hope I spelled his last name right) has gone up a bit after this.


"I'm not like those other talk show hosts because I don't talk about politics"


I feel like this separation of "liberal" issues vs "real" issues, as you put it, is kind of a false dichotomy and is a bit class reductionist. No, more diverse representation in movies won't lower the sea levels, but nobody is saying it will. It's more of a "why not?" issue, since it doesn't cost too much,  and at least IMO, racism even at the most subconscious level is directly tied to the class division issues. Corporations love using racism to keep the masses divided and to give them a "slave" population they can exploit in the prison industrial complex. While stopping microaggressions won't stop this from happening, it's just one more cultural shift that we all  conscientiously take part in with little cost to our lives.

“Corporations love using racism to keep the masses divided.” I think you answered your own question to “why not?” When you make it a selling point, you’re creating more division. Support good movies, not pandering.

@The Frubblewarrior I'm saying that it's one mean the elite uses to keep us divided instead of uniting against our common enemy which should be one of our primary objectives.

So you're saying racism is a symptom of a bigger problem? So we're just fixing a symptom and not the problem itself?


you know I always thought Jimmy Kimmel was Jimmy Fallon till now


That whole “whats in my pants” bit had me cringing wtf


This video aged like the finest fucking Italian wine mankind has ever seen, godspeed Mr. Lemon Emperor


Omg. I thought this was made like a week ago with how accurate it was. I'm absolutely serious.


23:24 didn’t age the greatest
Maybe we shouldn’t substitute school with the internet

Their is a problem on how it was implemented.

Instead of creating a system all they did was readjust the current one, mate.


I agree with most of these talking points. but race relations still are a problem in America. Maybe even moreso now than ever

23:06


I have watched Jimmy Kimmel, just not a full episode.


Why do i feel so mad?

I'm not even American


Fakest laugh
Fakest smile
Fakest comedy

Award: Kimmel


I was with my dad watching this and they ripped off the fart song from bobs burgers


for the last time, disagreeing about something doesn't mean agreeing with the opposite

also 17:44 finally someone else who appreciates the movie

So but this is conservatism, if I slightly disagree with something I must go to the complete other side and defend them to death just to not say that I was wrong


the day that EmpLemon had conservative ideas and perspectives

@sussedEEXZ lol I know I was making a joke xd


ik this video is old, and I do agree w a lotta points u make. I just gotta point out the hypocrisy of saying "trump bashing bad" bc it's lazy and not funny and then go "hahah liberals bad" treating that like solid comedy. I don't fuck w either party, and as a leftist I, too, love licking on liberals, but don't feel like u have to appeal to people by shitting on others, especially in a mostly logical video.


You're probably too young to remember his Man Show days or Win Ben Stein's Money. He was funny then. Once 2012 hit the SJW's started gradually holding comedy hostage. Now comedy's dead including Jimmy Kimmel.


This is the best video about the corrupt culture what i ever seen


Kinda funny how John oliver covered some of the topics that Emp said jimmy should cover.


the mega man 7 music hit me completely off guard good god lmao


Someone needs to get Dick Cavett back in Business


Thanks for explaining why late night got so unwatchable.


Jimmy is so anti problematic that his personality is dull and fake, it's like he's a talking robot who's programmed to be basic.<br>This statement applies to both T.V. Jimmy's

Anti racism / transphobia / whatever is achieved through hard work and vigilance, not by painfully unfunny privileged talking cable TV heads. Well, at least John Oliver remembers to be funny.


I’ve never heard emplemon sound this frustrated and fed up


Some parts of this video have aged very well.

Other parts have aged like milk

I agree. I think race relations are still quite an issue and, while I think some examples are still preachy, virtue-signally drek, my opinion on representation in media has softened a little bit, so I disagree with this video in some areas NOW. Back when it was made, however, I think it was completely relevant. Also, all the “real” issues Emp mentioned are totally still problems and he’s right on the money about how labels are worsening the problem.

Also, congrats on having a civil comment chain. This is what it should look like.

@Samus in a hat ay no worries man. I agree with you.

@Blaze404 No, I think that's fine.

I was thinking more about how while both sides of the political aisle still suck and have definitely gotten worse in regards to corruption and partisanship, it's the Trump stuff that hasn't aged quite well in my eyes. Sure, I agree with the sentiment that one should support their president no matter what party they belong to, but when said president has done so much to erode my trust in him, I think it's reasonable to speak out against him.

As an example, there's the January 6th riot. Now, while I don't think Trump's main goal was to incite it, he was definitely neglectful in the sense that he knew he had a rabid fan base and should have worded his speech more carefully to prevent it from happening. And the fact that he didn't say what they did was wrong showed me he was either happy or apathetic that his followers attempted to prevent a basic democratic process from happening.

It should be said though that I fucking despise Jimmy Kimmel and his Trump-bashing is annoying as hell. Plus, I agree with the fact that late night hosts were very leech-like with how they jumped on the hate Trump bandwagon. But the message I got from this video was that any criticism levied at Trump is bad, which I don't agree with.

(this turned into a rant, I apologize)

@Blaze404 No, I think that's fine.

I was thinking more about how while both sides of the political aisle still suck and have definitely gotten worse in regards to corruption and partisanship, it's the Trump stuff that hasn't aged quite well in my eyes. Sure, I agree with the sentiment that one should support their president no matter what party they belong to, but when said president has done so much to erode my trust in him, I think it's reasonable to speak out against him.

As an example, there's the January 6th riot. Now, while I don't think Trump's main goal was to incite it, he was definitely neglectful in the sense that he knew he had a rabid fan base and should have worded his speech more carefully to prevent it from happening. And the fact that he didn't say what they did was wrong showed me he was either happy or apathetic that his followers attempted to prevent a basic democratic process from happening.

It should be said though that I fucking despise Jimmy Kimmel and his Trump-bashing is annoying as hell. Plus, I agree with the fact that late night hosts were very leech-like with how they jumped on the hate Trump bandwagon. But the message I got from this video was that *any* criticism levied at Trump is bad, which I don't agree with.

My friend: Let's watch Jimmy Kimmel
What plays in my head: 3:47


I unironically got hyped when the MM7 music played


not gonna lie, I only clicked on this video because I confused him with jimmy fallon


What the hell?! I had no idea Kimmel once made such a sexual show, how are feminists not calling him out for this?!


7:15 Ill probably have nightmares from this


This video has aged so well with BLM and the new election of joe Biden

@kittykittybangbang because violence and suppression, to summarize


This is my 3rd time watching this. Excellent video


You sound like a young dude I don’t know if you would remember Howard stern but Howard stern holds a ton of weight in Hollywood and beyond him and a few others endorsements over the years drove jimmy Kimmel to the top where he turned on his entire audience and now he does what you say horrible propaganda bullshit artistry


Ah yes we have a black president so magically no racial problems anymore

His points seem pretty immature in all honesty.


“Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it”. Prohibition made so many more people drink. If you ban guns, it’ll do the same. It’s easier to get stuff when it’s not tracked

nobody wants to ban guns... this is the gun control straw man that conservatives have beat for decades


lol I dont like the guy either, but boy practically every woman I know has been abused and harassed (yep also my mother and sisters)...but none of the guys I know is an abuser (?) mmm...fear exist you know.


Definitely interesting. I think declaring that race is no longer an issue in America is, um...bold. I think you're headed in a good direction trying to focus on meaningful policy rather than the most surface-level social justice. However, I think you're a bit too intent on the internet's liberals than how left leaning people actually are.

It's also a bit upsetting that you downplayed the amount of racists in our nation while hyping up what appeared to be aNtIfA and saying that there's FAR TOO MANY of them.

Again, I see what you're getting at, but there are some less than ideal conflations going on in the fine print of the video.

And one more thing, claiming that you aren't promoting an ideology does not exclude you from politically-based criticism. The majority of the content of the video is political and potentially incendiary in nature, so it's not fair to just say, "But don't @ me," and expect that to invalidate any oncoming critique.

Just a few thoughts to consider, and I do wonder what your thoughts are on the video now two years later. All the best.

This is an underrated comment. I completely agree. These are all valid criticisms of the video, in fact you missed a few more.

He’s not saying it’s no longer an issue. He’s saying that it’s not as big of an issue it once was

Aside from critical race theory and other lefty lunacy america has no problem with race.

Remember when in CHAZ antifa shot a guys car for trying to leave, which was forbidden, then they called him a fascist, then they rolled down the window and saw a black teen with 2 holes in his head. The father had to go to FOX news of all places, because the other news stations wouldn't accept him because it dosen't roll with the narrative.


I don’t fully know your political opinion but I would say only liberals that are 30+ actually started watching late night shows because of politics. I get that these people are what you probably think of as all liberals they really arent


even tho im a "liberal" and i don't believe in cancel culture

but we gotta cancle the fuck outa jimmy kimmel and the people in his audience that guy would admit to shittin in the shower (nothing wrong with that just an example) and the audience would laugh like it some good knock knock joke from the 4th grade

Yah the “cancel culture” people really ruin our representation. Jimmy kimmel just isn’t funny imo


“Trump breathes oxygen! Therefore, we shouldn’t!”


I agree with kimmel on ONE thing, America IS a hell hole.


Oh brotherrr, since this video the usa has derailed to even worse.


Moral of the stories don't make tv hosts boring


I love this video but man Emp did John Oliver so fuckin dirty here

He’s WAAAYYYYY better than he’s given credit for.


I only know one good tv host. John Oliver


30:25 This is how furries are born, then.


jimmy fallon isnt really that funny either, but atleast i can fuckin respect him.


I only watch cable because SOME FUCKING HOW i plug in my super nintendo thru coaxial and it picks up cable signals

That'd be due to the coaxial cable acting as an "Over the Air" antenna of sorts, you could unironically use a length of metal wiring or coat hanger and receive some form of signal reception if it's in the right sweet spot areas for local TV stations.

Effectively the more favorable thing is that you happen to be within one of these "goldilocks" zones that still exist in 2021, as many over the air signals now require at least a preamplifier to continue to receive a signal that just ten years ago they would have but no longer can due to the broadcasting and rebroadcasting services/stations slowly going away year by year.

Over the Air still has a good number of unique broadcasts that won't ever really see the light of day on the internet even in this day and age which is crazy to think about.


I see your point when you talk about liberals swarming to channels bashing Trump because I was one of those types of viewers. I realized that just taking in negative information or getting stimulation from people who bash Trump is not healthy viewing. I personally don't like Trump but I'm not going push that personal belief onto others because it won't change anything. I see people supporting Trump but I'm not gonna bash anyone for supporting him because it's not my business to do so.


The real irony here is that listening to Emp try to approach American politics is also incredibly cringe.

ikr, jesus it's like he's a 13 year old right winger who only has the bare minimum understanding of social politics.


They also apprently forrgot that anyone can assault so when it gets brought up they point at men and say you have to stop because your the problem even tho anyone can assault someone


I'm going to be honest, I fully agree with the majority of this video except the bit on sexual assault. As a women I can say that women do get sexually assaulted in society quite regularly and often the individuals who commit the sexual assault go unpunished. You need to talk to your female friends and ask how many have been groped on nights out, every women I know has been at some point. Its not just rape that is considered sexual assault.


LTE as the opening background music = immediate like


No dude everything he says is for the ratings


I really want to know if those lemmings survived??? does anyone know?


I am so disconnected from politics that i don't even know what a liberal is

A liberal is a center-right leaning person, but somehow conservatives (right and far right) use this word like it means "socialist"


The only talk show hosts I can tolerate are colbert and oliver


I literally thought this was released some hours ago.


The only talk show I genuinely like is Conan.

@Spencer Harding yea same but I suggest if seem curious about letterman watch his interview on Netflix there really good

@Lillick Smillick Too young to remember it.


While I agree with much of this video, especially in describing Jimmy Kimmel's lack of originality and humor, there is also plenty about it that doesn't sit well with me.

It's just my opinion, and I don't expect many to agree with me, but what this video feels like is  a way to use Jimmy's shortcomings to poke and prod at a political philosophy that you don't agree with. This just about stopped being about Kimmel mid-way through the video.

Political agenda is the ugliest, most cringeworthy topic to discuss anywhere. Because for those of us who just want to see this country prosper, it's impossible to align fully with one side or another. It's more "pick the lesser of the evils" than "this person wants to help us become better".

That said, political discussion is something American citizens won't ever be able to shake, that will continue to be divisive among the citizens, and that will never be met in the middle.

The fact that Kimmel harps on politics so much is cringy, but so was hearing a rant about our country's increasingly divisive viewpoints and the finger pointing at one side or the other being the problem, in a video meant to point out one man's flaws.

Not one of my favorite videos from you, respectfully. But again, this is just my opinion.

You make a good point. I am not American myself, but I would think that Jimmy Kimmel and other late night show hosts have a bit more impact on politics than the average individual does. To me it felt like Emp was describing much of Hollywood's liberal elites rather than just Kimmel himself.

Again, I am not American, so I might have less of an authority on this than you or Emp. I am just explaining what it felt like to me when I first watched this.


11:53 but he wont, and he didnt, because he is a child.


Hey, LTE as background music! Well done!


well the kobe comment didnt age well (love u emp just rewatching)

watching again and most definitely didn't age well


the connection between him and howard stern says a lot. SICK PEOPLE


4:43 Sound sample from: Kasabian - Club Foot


He's not even memable at all. At least other idiots on TV make for good meme culture but honestly this guy is too cookie-cutter to make a good meme out of.


23:03 "that one didn't age quite so well"

@Ryan Freeman is you're saying the last 7 years of police brutality against black people is completely fake

It aged fine. They aren't a real issue. Its made up shit PUSHED by media corporations because videos of riots makes them more ad money.


some aged like wine, some aged like milk


Yeah he’s terrible but so was this. How many times can you say jimmy kimmel.


Dam looking at this video make me wanna switch to Republican

I think the most respectable is what I call "public centrism". It's basically: don't provoke political discussion and be as objective as you can, but if there is a political discussion, go all out with your beliefs. It makes you practically resistant to any pigeonholing.

@Klepto Kars no. Plus, religion doesn’t matter in this, everyone can believe what they want and that’s okay.

@HenryBoi Animations well duh but looking at the democratic side its alot worse plus im supporting white supremacists high taxes athiesm and im not like that

Well, you gotta remember there are bad people in each side.


Pretty much everyone in this comment section seems morally evil.

@sussedEEXZ  As another leftist, there's a lot of,, unsavory right wing views here. Though there are leftists too.

From what i’ve seen, they’re leftists who hate jimmy kimmel. I for one fall into the crowd. This man is a joke


Keep ur integrity man this is the best thing since sliced bread


Emp ends the video asking, "Do you wanna know why liberals keep losing in America?" Liberals lost <i>one election</i> because of the outdated Electoral College. Why does Emp continue to say liberals keep losing?!? Liberals lost the popular vote only once in the last 32 years, so I don't think they need lectures from Emp on how to stop losing!

Doesn't make their views any more correct


i haven't watched the video i just wanna say nice LTE music


Roseanne get laughed straight to her face was disgusting.


YouTube be like how dare you say the f word on our website also YouTube big man go haha


centrism is better than either of the sides


Ok this video makes some points but I can't focus because some of the background music has the subnautica drowning noise in it


Trump has been gone for 2 months and they still won't shut up about him

My friend American Television is like Hooker or Gigolo, which means they are rating prostitutes.


"Let them be racist, it's just an opinion" is probably the most white privilege thing I have ever heard. Yes you bring up good points of other major issues affecting society but racial inequality still massively affects society, especially in america. Go watch the latest Vox "Glad you asked" series if you disagree. You just play down so many major issues just because large progress has already been made in them. Guess what there's still so much more to do with equality.

And you don't wish to group all conservatives as racist ignorant etc, which I agree with you, but then just groups liberals as all being ignorant. There is a lot of good from this video but with some extreme lack of knowledge in some key areas that makes you lose credibility with your arguments

@GreenMarine yeah. And those alt right people literally built the systems we live under currently. For example, did you know the likelihood of getting a loan from the bank is based mostly on your zip code? White nationalists built a system called red lining that keeps many poor/ethnic people poor (look it up; it's hard to summarize accurately).
Did you know that police are more likely to shoot black people than white?
Did you know a majority of poor people in America are people of color?
Did you know the likelihood of being highered drops ~20% if you have a stereotypically black name?
Are you really, seriously, trying to claim that someone point out that white people don't face these issues/face them less is the same as persecuting a religious minority who were fucking genocided?

Im sure you think it’s nice attacking an ethic group. Just replace white with jewish.

And I like how to don’t elaborate on this “racial inequality” you just say it and hope it’s true. By the way, the Alt - Right loves you saying white privilege because to them being white is a privilege.


I used this for a school project, thanks emp

used it again my first year of high school for my first major paper xD


Personally I never found jimmy kimmel to be funny


I love your arguments and I think they're very well laid out, well until you said that racial tension is a non-issue because Obama was black LMAO. I mean you bring together so many ideas about the problems facing Americans and how it could better be addressed. It's just so ironic that you would expand on this so greatly right after pulling the "uh we shouldn't talk about race because we had a black president duh." is so reductive and, well, sad.

Yeah, although he’s said that he regrets this vid, and things were different 2 years ago. But racism has definitely gone down over the years

Yeah the first half of the video I thought was really well done, but then it fell apart in the second half.


This is brilliant and exactly why I despise kimmel, colbert and the news media collectively.

Cut them out and the culture begins to restore itself.


People won’t like the truth in this video


Why does politics have to be divided with red and blue? Why can't republicans and democrats get along and work together? Does this division come from one of the sides or from both? I believe all these questions should be answered before this country can truly be whole.

Simple politics is meant to divide people that's why George Washington didn't want political parties to form

@Libor Kundrát USA actually used to have that

@E This is why the USA needs an electoral system which would allow more parties to get in: No single party would get the majority, and <b>some</b> compromises and agreements would have to be made.

why are you disgusted by a tortoise crossing a busy street at rush hour?


I'm extremely bothered that there aren't any popular celebrities who share your ideas and values. If there was just ONE person in power who shared your values, and who didn't get pushed down by others in the process, it could potentially reverse all the craziness that is going on right now. The only thing I could see going wrong is that someone like you lets all these issues frustrate you to such an extent that you don't seem like a reliable source, but you really are more than reliable. Might as well sub to ya :3

JNK117 Well said, man. Us reasonable people gotta stick together to hopefully enlighten others on the dangers of hate and detachment. I hope we can all do that, as a community :D

But those are some serious problems you mentioned. Big corporations have a sort of semi-monopoly that only happened because of brilliant ideas that eventually devolved into money making machines. YouTube is such an example, and it's pretty unfortunate that they decided to mainly appeal to advertisers, and not the content creators. But that's besides the point.

This is just my opinion, but I really don't think that you should feel anxiety over the state of the world. All the chaos and societal issues should inspire you to change what's wrong! I try to do so online by attempting to be super positive about things that people talk about, and encouraging peace in those interactions. Don't get me wrong though. There are certainly times where I'm completely unable to do anything about an issue that frustrates me, but just getting the message across to try to make people more aware certainly makes at least someone think.

Also, just a side note, but your description of people's perceptions of each other definitely apply so much for me in high school. It seems to be an especially big problem with teenagers, but I still try my best to make friends xD

ChordsBoy It's going to take the younger generation coming together in spite of their disagreements to get through this and make change. People thing other people are the enemy, but in reality this country was fought for and formed by the people, for the people. All we really have is each other when our politicians, who we are deciding to elect, fail. Of course, the corporations are a big problem, too, and that requires people to support locally rather than buying what's cheapest. All of it is such a massive issue, and it gives me anxiety nearly every day, but, again, if we can stop pretending there are barriers between people and just work every day, together, have meaningful discussions and reasonable debates, it is possible. A lot of people just aren't even trying to thing for themselves unfortunately, and that is another contributing factor to the situation. But hey, at least you and I could talk openly and transparently despite being so detached from one another on the internet. And that has to count for something.

JNK117 Yeah, it's a really frustratingly realistic perspective on the issue... :/

I hope that people make more attempts to solve hard truths about society in the future, but based on your logic, it probably won't.

ChordsBoy I guarantee you there are an enormous number of people who think like this man. Problem is, you can't actually say what you think in this society, otherwise you'll lose everything. Especially if you're in Hollywood.

Okay, I thought of a solution. The very idea of celebrities should be a meme, and any effort at making certain people look better than everyone else should be turned into an absolute joke by the masses. That should totally work xD

TrueLegendaryStatus Well, I guess it's even more terrifying then, if there are other celebrities who are aware of the severe problems with Hollywood, and that they can't do anything about it...

I hope one day people start to realize how absolutely shallow it is of them to idolize people who are more popular than them. Then again, I'm still in high school, so there's a huge chance that people have realized that already as adults lol
But anyway, yeah, Hollywood is seriously too screwed up and gossipy to leave as is. But anyone who knows and cares about these problems are just completely ignored unless it's someone from within the industry, and even then there's still an extremely low chance of being heard. I don't know, this seems like quite the impossible problem to solve :/
I actually don't even know that many celebrities, though, since I mainly steer clear of movies and TV because it never really appealed to me, so I'm mainly just going off of this video to base my opinions on xD

Unfortunately if there are (I have to believe someone is smart enough to see through the facade), they are afraid to come out and say it. They'll be ostracized and cannibalized (not literally) by their peers. The industry they are in is one of the ugliest and most disgusting industries in America while also being self-serving and self-fellating. Look how long they kept rape and abuse victims from coming out. Anything that would shake the system is seemingly beaten back as much as possible, unless they can spin it into something that benefits them (to be fair most Corporations do that). I am sure there are people who really did care about the abuse victims, and credit to them for standing up for the victims, but when I see a movie coming about Weinstein just a few months after the revelations I stop and question what are the motives. Unfortunately it feels like its another pat on the back, look how progressive movie we are (same with The Post). Blah.

ChordsBoy bill burr, but he's not a talk show host, has a podcast though...

The issue is really just Hollywood I feel

shesmine19 Well, I really meant they should share all his values, not just the "not hating Trump" one. But yeah, I guess not hating the president is a start xD

What I mainly meant though was that celebrities shouldn't be people who only appear to be good. They should all be genuinely good people, and all they should focus on is improving themselves and consequently their image, not the other way around. Of course, with that ideology, the chances of getting famous to begin with is pretty slim, which is why I commented what I did.

EmpLemon was mainly showing the huge contradictory and hypocritical aspects of Jimmy Kimmel and other celebrities, and how much he believed it all to be wrong and shameful. That's the main thing I'd like other celebrites to know. If just one influential person could realize this and not act with hypocrisy and trend-joining, maybe people would be more inspired to treat each other better :D

They haven't jumped on the trump hate train so they share Emperorlemons ideals and values is my point.

ChordsBoy believe it or not but Kanye West and the Kardashians like Donald trump apparently


4 minutes in and this is exactly how I feel about David Letterman.


i like your channel but "GUHRR!!! FREEAKING ANGRY BUG LIBERALS!!"


Watch as this video gets demonitized for “hate speech”


EmpLemon, i love you.
I am European, and bashing americans is like the most common thing around here.
It is said that people have voted for a racist, narcisistic and stupid president, because they are all racist, narcissistic and stupid themselves.
It's such an arrogant mindset to have, i now realize that much more.

We all can see a clear trend in the whole world:
The separation of society.
In a good discussion, it should not make a difference who brings the argument, instead all the points should be brought on the table and out of those points, a conclusion should be made.
But in the world we live in right now, it doesn't matter which point is brought to the table, just WHO the person is that said it.
This totally paralyzes any kind of healthy discussion, because the other side can always say "oh thats obvious that YOU would say that, since you are *insert political position here*. Guys like you also want *insert most horrific political statement you can think of someone of your political side has said before here*.
The result is that you are standing still. Nobody is talking about the real issues anymore, so the problems keep beng unsolved. And as the problems keep being unsolved, the dissatisfaction of the people increases, and opens the way for radicalization.

I want to encourage everyone who is reading this to have more political discussions again. And with that, i dont mean spouting strawman arguments in each other's faces.
Please sit together with your family and friends, and ask them how they view the world, and let them speak to the end, even though you might not be their opinion.
I have the strong belief that communication prevents separation.
Also ask yourself if you have blocked people out of your life because they have certian opinions about certain topics you don't agree with.

What i wanna say is that it is so easy to lose yourself in the bubble of agreement that you completely lose the understanding for everyone who does not share your thoughts.
Try to keep that in mind.

@Derpeon ok, imma respond to this with my more right leaning American perspective.

Public health care: I think we will eventually have a system for this, but right now, I am concerned with how we would pay for it. In addition to payment, wait times in a lot of countries result in some deaths because of a lack of treatment. Also we are concerned that our standard of healthcare will go down, as I believe if you have the money, you should be able to pay for better healthcare and quicker times. That being said, a baseline free healthcare for everyone would be fine with me as long as it was done smartly, which I don’t trust our government to do. It also could deincentivize people to remain healthy. In addition, healthy people would pay more to get healthcare for unhealthy people, like if someone is super fat and cannot move or work, healthy people would be paying for that persons healthcare, costing them more than it would otherwise. I don’t really have a problem with it if it’s done in a smart manner, but I have little trust in our government.

Guns: I see absolutely no reason not to have guns. Violent crime actually increases when you take out an armed populace, as they cannot protect themselves. Also some of the areas in the US with the strictest gun regulations also have the most gun related deaths. I don’t even own a gun; but I’d rather have an armed populace than an unarmed one. If you remove guns totally, gun violence goes down, but knife violence and other stuff would increase to fill it or even have more.

Two party system: if we didn’t have a two party system, the multi parties would likely still split among the same lines (conservative and liberal), although a more specialized group would have more control. However, the two party system I agree is bad. I don’t know what to do to change it though as they have a stranglehold on politics.

I’d also like to point out many of our politicians are corrupt and they don’t care about us, like McConnell, Pelosi, and Kamala Harris.

What are your thoughts on Universal Basic Income and the lack of free speech in many European countries?

This is just my opinion, but to me it seems like Europeans bash us while not understanding the full complexities of our situation while having many of their own problems in their respective countries. We are looked at as ignorant racists, but not all of us are. We are probably no more ignorant than any European populace and maybe more racist in terms of laws and systematic oppression, but I do not believe the people themselves are more racist.

I would love to hear your responses to this and offer insight about how your public health system works, as I think it could work.

@Jack Farns I think it boils down to some core points most of us just do not get (please correct me if im wrong with anything, im not american obviously):
- Public Health Care: Not even the rightest of our right winged parties argue that it is a bad idea to have a public health care system, and it has proven as a good concept to battle inequality in many countries. Americans seem to have a strong dislike of this kind of system.
- Guns: All kinds of guns are banned here. If you want to legally have one, you have to go through a long and expensive licensing process. Getting one illegally is possible but pretty hard. I am sure this gun problem is complex, but by looking at gun violence statistics i can see that countries with less public gun possession have less gun violence, surprise.
- Two Party System: To have only two major parties sure leads to some problems, in my mind. Society is much more complex than just "left" and "right" and if you only have the choice between two sides, they can basically do whatever the want to, just because they are NOT the other side, and there will be a bunch of people sticking with them for only that reason.

@clerp Lets be honest here, they all do that to some degree. Donald Trump and the conservatives have not done their best to solve that separation problem either and i have the feeling like it got much worse in the last 4 years. Come to think of it... many politicians seem to have unlearned the skill to discuss and make compromises in general, and just switched to blaming the other side and call it a day.<br>It is not only an american problem either, i can observe this in austria as well, and it annoys the hell out of me.

I don’t get why everyone hates America. America bashing is very popular these days, especially in Europe it seems.

@Ty AZ  i'm pretty sure its because he's a 90 year old socialist, but w/e

@clerp it’s actually just democrat biased not left biased.

Left biased? You mean how Bernie gets shit on in Congress for having the audacity to push any politician slightly out of their comfort zone?

they just say that to right wingers until the conservatives actually listen and give way to whatever demands they have - it's so shallow and spineless of a tactic of the left to do this, but the problem is that unfortunately it actually works sometimes, and when it works enough, our current state of blindingly left-biased u.s.a. media and this 2020 election is what happens as a result.
