Welcome to Carpentersville.........a sleepy little town on the edge of americana but has just fallen off that edge...and has found its final resting place..............in the Twilight Zone
They are eating meals brought in, McDonalds, etc, and not changing their clothes. Their families have not complained,..... HA HA HA ha BWAaaaaahhhhhHH !
Take one Bill Sarto. Mr. Sarto is a representative. Representative of what? Something he doesn't very well understand. For you see, for Mr. Sarto and the people of Village of Carpentersville are about to make a motion and maybe one that will get a second, because this is the kind of motion that can only be made... in the Twilight Zone. [commence angular, dramatic musical cue]
Anyone coming to these Carpenterville videos after 15 years, as I am now, and thinking how on Earth is this for real: you have clearly not grown up in a small town, with small, petty people. I did. And it is mindnumbing how uppity these "townies" get over innocuous things with each other. 😅
I honestly was thinking this is a scripted show. I thought it was a low budget "the office" type show. I would stop paying taxes if this is really what they do.
The next time Ed Ritter thinks, “this is so petty and stupid I just shouldn’t even respond to it” - Go with that feeling, Ed! That feeling is your friend!
@@edwardcairejr.3599 Right Edward...! Reminds that the whole Seinfeld gang are still in jail for .......? I forget. Not helping a citizen vs a purse snatcher.... lol
Binder clips can be used to hold Mary Jane cigarettes or easily attached to nipples for special occasions. This is a serious crime, practically a crime spree because each clip is an individual crime. Interpol has been contacted and we will keep you apprised.
That's the incredible thing about this town and it's crazy board meetings, it's all freaking real life and unscripted! Someone needs to license this shit and make a reality tv show out of it or a soap opera.
I'm with Ed on this one. First he was accused of stealing, which he didn't do. Then, when he tried to explain what happened, he got an e-mail basically calling him a liar, too. You can't let that go, especially in politics. Plus, that Sarto guy is kind of slimy.
Sarto's a joke. He basically saw the guy come out of the office with the paper's arranged or knew that he had sorted them in there, and so he invented the claim that the dude stole binder clips....clown.
I came across this "series" and am fascinated. This is exactly like my home town. 5 years ago I owned a few different companies. The older I got, the less time & energy I had to put towards all three companies. I decided to sell one. A potential buyer met with me, and decided to spend the day driving around the town, walking down the street, going into different businesses trying to get familiar with the area. Coincidentally that night was a town council meeting. He decided to stick around and go to it. Two days later, he calls me and says I cannot believe the BS small town pety things that were discussed at this meeting. These are elected govt officials acting like this, and the audience at this meeting were just as bad! Im sorry, I loved your business, I love your numbers, but there is no number good enough for me to want to be a part of a community like that!!
Well I'm glad Ed got a chance to get the binder clip fiasco off his chest. This is a city board of trustees? binder clips? IS THIS REAL LIFE???? HOw did I get here? o.O
The man has every right to protect his character and reputation when it's attacked by a member of this village board. I'm sure, were it you, you'd crawl in a hole and just whimper? smh
@Tubedoll: "IS THIS REAL LIFE?????" IS THIS A FANTASY?!?!? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality! Open your binders Look up to the board and seeeeeeeeeeeeee They just poor boys I need some clips Or my papers will be Easy come Easy go The board is all high Their arguments are low
Brian Donovan I stumbled onto these the other day & I must admit I could not get enough I've had to use self discipline to pull myself away. These are some of the greatest city hall meetings I have ever seen! And now I'm a fan for life.
James Preston Thomas I respect your opinion but I feel like these are exactly the way all of it was meant to be. Checks and balances wasn't necessarily designed to keep things fair; it was designed slow the growth of government. Politicians always say "...gonna get this done!!!" But honestly, all they ever do is screw things up even more! I say let them fight over binder clips & leave freedom alone.
Wth is a binder clip anyway. Those varied sized black clips with the wired handles ..? Thumb and pointer finger squeeze, then slide over the papers....? Those ... Whata joke
Why would you ever move? Who needs TV or Netflix when you can watch this shit in real life. These proceedings should be recognized as a Schedule 1 drug because they're that addicting.
The man knows how to tell a story! And he’s got witnesses. Spellbinding ! We’ve got intrigue, pettiness, lies, theft, character assassination , possible corruption, righteous indignation, it’s all here in Carpentersville.
Lord, help me Jesus....people are micromanaging to this extent? I've watched more than a few of these videos of Carpentersville, and they are wasting tax-payers time.
He might not have stolen those binder clips, but I heard he uses twice as much toilet paper as necessary. A friend of mine was in a stall next to him and he told me that he heard "a hell of a lot of roll" being used.
@@marydestefano9487 I'm a professional writer. I know the difference. I'd like to think he was talking to himself because there's no f'n way he thought anyone else cared. Similar to trying to teach vocabulary on the internet.
Augh! What has happened to my life? I have fallen into a Carpententersville RUclips rabbit hole. I'm binge watching these amazing videos. P.s. They spend more money in tax payers' dollars discussing the binder clips in this meeting than it actually would have cost him to take a couple binder clips from the Village.
How pathetic that this board is arguing over binder clips. They need to just start over with an entire new board and throw these immaturely babies out of town.
@@phillipechols6919Exactly. Even though “binder clips” may be a silly discussion topic, truth and lies definitely is a serious topic, worthy of discussion
You guys are making it seem like no big deal, but the binder clips are missing. They're just gone, and no one is taking responsibility for it. Binder clips do not just disappear.
I've been watching all Carpenterville clips... and I thought, until now, that canadian politics is ridiculous. Sarto has to be the single most egotistical person on this face of the planet...
Someone seriously needs to make a miniseries outta this town’s videos/problems/etc. First: I can NOT stop watching. Second: I can NOT stop laughing hysterically!! 😂😂
What I really enjoy is the vocabulary they choose to use, almost as if they only have a grade 10 education and then dropped out of school. These actors are so good
My god this can't be serious, if this is what the town excepts from the city board they have real problems. Maybe they should debate how many toilet paper squares should be used per person per day
What a screwed up crybaby this Bill Sarto character is. Let's have a birthday contest. For the sake of the citizens of this town I hope this guy has been voted out.
Wait yall this is a SHOW!? I saw the comments about ",loving this series" but I thought that was a running joke because of how ridiculous this stuff is. I have literally been watching these Carpenterville meetings thinking this was a real town. Oh my gawd.👁👅👁 I am soo confused. Is this a real town meeting or is this a show!?
OB-SESSED WITH THIS TOWN AND BOARD!!! THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE 😅😅 some of these people need to kiss and get it over with ! A lot of binder related sexual tension goin on here.
2:46 I presume Grant Crowel adds an icon window saying that Ed Ritter doesn't know the difference between an email and a blog. FYI, I get emails all the time, of BLOGS, so wtf are you talking about?
"Previously on Carpentersville......"
lol
😂😂😂
itiswhatitaint anditaintwhatitis oh boy oh boy
Have they picked it up for a second season yet? I'm hoping so, it's better than "West Wing".
Yes, it will be called diliriumnumnum 2, season 1, Ep 1!
Nine years later and this town just won me over. I’m cancelling Netflix, Prime, and HBO. This is gold.

It truly is!
We'll only get one season of Carpentersville because Bill asked for a second.
And he's still waiting for it.
I no longer wonder why Congress has so many closed door sessions.
boy dis ain't congress
@@Otherhats Might as well be. No work or decent argument takes place there either.

Binder Clips matter🪧🪧🪧
Down with Staples!
What do we want? Binder clips!
When do we want them?
Now🪧🪧🪧
Stumbled across these "Carpentersville Board meetings" ...This could be reality show GOLD!!
No lie
If this were a t.v.series, I'd start watching t.v. again! Heck, maybe I'll move to Carpentersville!
I honestly was thinking this is a scripted show. I thought it was a low budget "the office" type show. I would stop paying taxes if this is really what they do.
Jesus, they better test their water supply for lead! lol
TheSAJ419 i just watched 3 in a row funy as fek...lol KIDS..
Ritter: I’ve been honest for 60 years and I didn’t steal a binder clip
Sarto: I’ve been honest for 60 years and yes you fucking did!
The next time Ed Ritter thinks, “this is so petty and stupid I just shouldn’t even respond to it” - Go with that feeling, Ed! That feeling is your friend!
But he was assassinated!
Conviction on one count of binder theft carries a mandatory life sentence in the Carpentersville Penitentiary.
he was dealing with a corrupt idiot , so I dont blame him.
@@edwardcairejr.3599 Right Edward...! Reminds that the whole Seinfeld gang are still in jail for .......? I forget. Not helping a citizen vs a purse snatcher.... lol
LOL! This is like the Seinfeld episode when the guy takes the box of raisins in the audition and George can’t let it go.
"I did not touch a Village binder clip." Oh my God, I'm dying laughing!
Perhaps he just lusted in his heart to touch the binder clip and some are very religious about this? You just can't make this shit up!!!
one day its binder clips, the next its monica lewinsky
brianliveshere maybe they should check for fingerprints
I did not have sexual relations with those Village binder clips!!!
ha
I can't believe he felt the need to publicly address this.

God saw him take those binder clips
this is what happens when you truly never leave kindergarten.
So Trump could be a trustee there? Yahhhhhhh
This is like a real life version of the office
Zardoz Parks n Rec more like it
I've already sent these videos to my buddy saying "This Bill Sarto guy is the real life Michael Scott"
"Stop stealing binder clips! Stop stealing binder clips! "
"No chants!"
Wait till somebody steals Ed's red stapler....
Identity theft is not a joke, Jim.

These dudes are total assholes
The president of this board is a douchenozzle
Your tax dollars at work folks.
Dude these videos are literally a gem of youtube. Thank you for uploading these
According to the laws of The Village of Carpentersville, even THINKING about taking binder clips is a capital crime that carries the death penalty. :)
Jerald Collins can they get a 2nd?
Jerald Collins next week.....they uncover secrets of HS yearbooks!
Carla a I second the second and call the question of the third.

Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality!
Open your binders
Look up to the board and seeeeeeeeeeeeee
They just poor boys
I need some clips
Or my papers will be
Easy come
Easy go
The board is all high
Their arguments are low
no this is not binder clips this is truth and dishonesty
Carpentersville is stuck in the 70’s. Look at the upholstery, decor and clothing. It’s a step back in to time.
BINDER CLIPS, y'all. We're talking about binder clips here.
Binder. Clips.
Can you believe these videos have been up since 2009!!! I love angry, stupid local government meetings on RUclips.
Brian Donovan I stumbled onto these the other day & I must admit I could not get enough I've had to use self discipline to pull myself away. These are some of the greatest city hall meetings I have ever seen! And now I'm a fan for life.

I could watch this all day.
" bindergate"?! lmfao. I work for a municipality..I gotta show em this!
Found this channel in 2024! LOVE IT!!!
Is this real or is it one of these comedy shows like, "The Office"? I can't figure out if this is actually really.
+Jansen Smith yes I can assure you IT'S ALL VERY REAL. I was the one who had it all recorded when I was a resident of Carpentersville.
Why did you put this mindless shit up?
Why would you ever move? Who needs TV or Netflix when you can watch this shit in real life. These proceedings should be recognized as a Schedule 1 drug because they're that addicting.
Jansen Smith that sarto guy,hes just like that michael character....yeah,this shits hillarious
Ha. Sounds like a town village or city meeting is a free good show to make you shake your head 🙄
I never thought in my life I’d hear such a edge-of-my-seat story centered around binder clips
This is a very entertaining town council, don't change a thing!
i've been watching these for hours. I've laughed on each one hahaha!
Yes!!!
Easy for you to say if you don't live there.
It's too funny to be real, it looks like a TV show seriously
It's a town council, they couldn't change a thing if they tried
The man knows how to tell a story! And he’s got witnesses. Spellbinding ! We’ve got intrigue, pettiness, lies, theft, character assassination , possible corruption, righteous indignation, it’s all here in Carpentersville.
This is a fascinating series of videos that question the very fabric of reality. Thank you.
yes
And America. There seems little fabric in America.
I think I just found the real life inspiration for Parks and Rec
Your tax dollars at work. Being paid to discuss binder clips...

Is there an FBI investigation into the possible pilfering of the village binder clips?
The big question is WHO took the paper clips??????
Someone please call me in N C and tell me
TKS
Binder clips ?. .....really ? should we seek a 72 count federal indictment ?.
Somebody better give this guy his paper clips back !!!!( ever seen office space ? )
They took my stapler the swingline...and there was salt all over the rim and I said no salt. I could shut this place down...
That was a red stapler
Set the building on fire.
"that's it. that's the last straw."
Surprised American media has not blamed Trump for the binder clips. Surely its his fault?
they ought to make a soap opera about this town
maccyknife1 What? You didn’t realize that is what this is?
It belonged on SCTV
They spent 6 minutes talking about binder clips 😭 😭
Ed Ritter was my 6th grade Language arts teacher. I am now 19 years old.

you know, its hard to watch a video with relentless message popups blocking the entire screen.
You should checkout City of San Jose, California council meetings.
Thanks for the tip. I love discovering new sitcoms to watch!
"I DID NOT touch a village binder clip"!
I'm not American. How much does a clip cost?
My god this can't be serious, if this is what the town excepts from the city board they have real problems.

There MUST be some sane people in this village but they never seem to be in this room.
WTF?? Binder Clips? What is this, The Office???
You heard him. Ned Flanders didn't take the binder clips!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Battle of the Binder clips!
The accents. The fashion. What's not to love? When are the action figures being released?
Ed comes of the more honest. Bill? Somewhere between slick and slimy.
Da President needs to forgive all the bullying he received in kindergarten and grow the hell up 😂
"character assassination starts with little lies"
yeah but do we have an forensic evidence that he DIDN'T take the clips?
Its March 17th, 2021... did Sarto ever get that Second?
WHERE is this village? WTH is in their water? Which state? Just flaming madmen Baby Huey people.
40 miles NW of Chicago. The place is real. I used to live there. It is the anus of Illinois.
Sarto really went after somebody for binder clips? 😂
I cannot believe these people are talking about fucking clips!
What a screwed up crybaby this Bill Sarto character is. Let's have a birthday contest. For the sake of the citizens of this town I hope this guy has been voted out.
The good news is that the town has fully recovered from Sarto's reign of terror. The village water department is back up to one whole star on Google.
now I know where 'village idiot' term was born...
I would vote for Pr Sardo just to keep the drama going
1:35 That guy with his hair and tache looks like Ned Flanders from the Simpsons! I mean if he died his hair brown it would be uncanny! 🤣🤣🤣
