I find it weird that comedy shows are doing better at journalism than news shows
I agree but so very sad
Only because they add humour. Makes it more watchable.
In the time of King's the court Jester was on of the only people who could be open and "strait forward' with the truth because it wasn't seen as confrontational when they did it.
Sort of like how people add "lol" to the end of serious statements, or literally lol when making them in person, in order to ease the negative feeling they might cause.
Comedy serves this same function, whereas the news is expected to be 100% serious, comedians have some leeway because of our expectations from them.
Here's some source info:
alumnus.caltech.edu/~ckank/FultonsLair/013/nock/jester.html
Because if 2016 has shown us ANYTHING, is that the Truth is a whole lot funnier.
It's because they're not competing on the 24 hours news cycle so they can afford to do little things like research and fact checking.
felt very embarrassed for those actors.
It is called cringe.
It's called fallacy BINGO!
I was rofling mao
They got paid.
Ruby Doobie
Hope they were paid enough in place of their dignity.
this cut off right as it was getting informative
Matthew James Davis It's because it's a clip from a special premiering on the 25th.
Matthew James Davis LOL
you can see the ep for free.... Link in description.
Because it's 1994 and I have a cable subscription.
WeBuiltAnArk No you can't! It won't let me!
0:46 "Good night! It's morning!" Me when I stay up even later than usual.
There's a pretty obvious answer as to why politics have become so divisive. Politicians from both sides, democrats and republicans, as well as the wealthy lobbyists and business friends of those politicians have done everything they can to keep us average Americans fighting over every issue they possibly can. As long as they keep us all fighting and arguing with each other, they can do whatever the hell they want. Ditto.
Ryan Amberger I really disagree with this line of reasoning. For one thing it is overly conspiratorial, and falls in on its self easily (if business interests were behind it why is it that historically the wealthy tend to back one of the two parties over the other, Republican). Also, you get rid of individuals' agency: you're acting as if the common man isn't flawed. Maybe instead of some big conspiracy to suppress us, it's just us, citizens, who are flawed and create the kind of polarization we see today.
Ryan Amberger The video points out that the Civil Rights Movement caused conservative people to collect in opposition to who ever supported it, which became the Liberals and Democrats. That's not conspiracy that just people acting on their prejudice
I agree that there's no overarching conspiracy to keep the masses occupied. However, I do think the political and economic elite has allowed social issues to consume the popular discourse while economic debates are kept out of sight and out of mind, or painted as comically one-sided when really there is a serious conflict between two legitimate and popular ideologies. I don't think this was a collective effort; it was the result of many powerful people acting in their own (incidentally common) interests.
Artful Dodger And the politicians acting in corporate interests. It's why the economy is so dreadful for the middle class and lower.
Exactly right, which is stupid because we outnumber them. There are more people than there are politicians and lobbyists yet we let them screw us over and over again.
Wow, well done on cutting that short.
Wheres the rest of it??
Qualified Idiots On TV.
My only regret is not being at this show live! I'm cackling over here😂😂😂
OMG SO QUIRKY
those actors were so funny LOL
I just wish Adam Ruins Everything was on Hulu, that way I can catch up.
since I only have Internet and not cable.
You can find the full episodes illegally posted on RUclips pretty easily.
Alex Jones yeah. illegally
just type in "adam ruins everything watch online" lol
Well it's on Netflix now.
NetteBlogs you can download the Trutv app. Too late lol 😂
Somewhere I've read something along the lines that representatives used to be forced to live close by when the we're at work, only going back to their respective states on weekends, and that the loss of this forced time together meant that they felt less need to be agreeable with one another.
I don't even want to know what's in the comments section
Shawn Weddle
you are.
Me, either.
Quite intelligent and civilized discussion, compared to the usual norm.
Smart people weirdly, it is like Adam ruins everything is making us smarter people.
Adam for president
According to the constitution he can't be president, he's too young
agreed
Too young for now, but that's only a matter of time...
What is this from? I see the channel put up 3 videos but none of it feels complete. I'd love to see it all.
Why are all these videos cut off? Where's the rest?
We need the rest of the video
any idea if whatever if the rest of this is available on streaming.
something recently made this video pop back up in my mind and wanted to seek this out. 🤔
So you're saying the South ruins everything?
GA GMR yes, the south literally ruins American progress since the 1600s
GA GMR No assholes ruin everything. Politicians who rather pander than actually be affective out of fear they won't be re-elected.
Jacob Evans do you know who stopped Universal Healthcare legislation in the 1900s and 1960s?
southern politicans.
the 1900s AND 1960s huh, thank you for being stupid and being against things like Universal Healthcare.
The South will Rise again!
Where can I watch the whole thing?
Where's the full version???
What are these clips from? I would have loved to watch the entire show.
And I don't mean the Adam Ruins Everything TV show I mean whatever show this is specifically. :P
id like to watch the whole thing were can I?
I hate this. It's like a series of funny Ted Talks where you never get the punch line. You're killing me, TruTV...
Why won't you show full episodes on RUclips?
I live in the UK is there anyway to see the full thing through legal channels?
+Cthu-Lou This a promo for a special that is spouse to air on the television network TruTV. I do not think this special has aired yet. I think it is suppose to air on October 25th. And I believe it is called Adam Ruins Everything election special. It looks like you can buy and download the episodes from Amazone.com (which is a legal legit online store), of course I am looking at the U.S.A version of the site. They might also include the election special as well. If so probably not until the episode airs on television first. I hope this was helpful.
he's very good at getting u to think the way he wants you to think..
How you can get the entire video
I'm a pro abortion choice, anti death penalty, atheist republican who wants strong borders, freedom of speech, small government and depenalization of marijuana.
woah you're rad.
No you have to be a bible thumping, Muslim hating, pro lifer or a socialist, white guilt filled, baby killer.
Why republican though? The issues you've listed are half and half of which party pushes them more. Assuming both parties actually push for all their respective stances equally and that they both have the same view of atheists, being a republican could have been chosen by a coin toss.
You're been listing to Sargon, haven't you?
Don't listen to him, he called the EU tyrannical but that ended up giving us an unelected PM.
I'm pretty much a Geolibertarian. So I'd be up for abolishing most of the government, but then heavily taxing pollution and natural resources and paying every citizen an equal share of the proceeds in cash.
As polarization increases, both parties are able to get farther away from the middle to the point where both can say pretty outrageous stuff.
You think Joe Biden can reverse gears for both sides? I hope so
Okay what can we have a source for this
Another cause of the partisan polarization: back when there were conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans, the political elite (like party bosses) had a lot more power over primaries. They funded primary and general election campaigns and often selected the candidates. These guys had a vested interest in having a broad appeal so that they can win elections, so ideologically diverse candidates and candidates who are team players and were good at compromising and working together tended to be sponsored by party bosses and tended to win primary and general elections. Then, after Watergate, this political elite was shackled. Direct primary elections, which had been gaining momentum since the Progressive Era, became almost universally the norm.
Money raised by party bosses ended up being heavily restricted, so private money, like money from PACs, replaced it. So, the power of selecting party nominees fell away from party bosses with a vested interest in a broad appeal and cooperation across ideological lines to big businesses rich enough to fund PACs and the most activated people (which tend to be more ideologically extreme than the general population), who tend to donate more of their purse to political causes and are more likely to vote in primary elections than the general population. Hence, we have what we have today.
haha they got Keegan from Key and Peele nice
+Dumprolls technically so is Keegan
***** That was my point.
One of the main points that politics suffer from is that people love to slap completely arbitrary labels all over the place as if it means something.
Almost no one can have a discussion anymore without throwing a label around.
And guess what?
The second you label someone, in your mind, you now think of them an enemy and disregard everything they say or worse, attack them.
Can somebody recommend a video about partisan bias like this? i need it for a friend, if it has spanish subtitles, the better
And ever since, the government has been going downhill...
Damn you politics
Lol
Is the whole thing available anywhere?
Not until the 25th when it airs of TV.
read the description
I really like his standup
Wait, wow, hmm... now I need to know why!
the problem is that because of bipartesian politics, every issue has to be divided based on who found it first
did I just missed an episode?
Imagine those actors explaining this job to their parents...
Where is this from?
i have a major adam crush :D
Now Lyndon Johnson will be El BJ in my head.
We should bing them back!
What the - That's where it ends?
It's not the full thing, just a clip.
This is so funny lmao
Poor Lyin' Ted just can't catch a break.
So much unsaid...
was....was that a shoe0nhead reference??????!!!
El BJ... is he talking about Lyndon B. Johnson?
L.B.J.= Lyndon Banes Johnson
Adam For President
What show is that?
Wolfsgeist It's Called Adam ruins everything
The south voted mostly democratic until the 1990s. I agree that in the past people were able to make compromises in politics and were able to leave emotions out of it, but it wasn't because the civil Rights act was passed. It was because politicians learned that polarizing the public by exaggerating the amount of bigotry towards individuals because of their color or or sexual orientation or whatnot, made people more active in politics and so more likely to show up and vote.
Partisan polarization is actually a visage, in general when the democrats and republicans want to get their collective big donors laws passed it's always bipartisan. But if it has to do with social issues they quickly play the divide game because it's great distraction from that war funding or spying bill they just passed.
Adam rocks
i have a huge crush on Adam
Yeah, Ive never been able to say LBJ since the first time I saw this. el BJ is now stuck in my head.
The south turned more republican because it became more developed. Hard southern democrats who identified with the democratic party still stuck with it after LBJ. The Dixiecrats never switched parties, and the South became more republican as it also became more industrialized and modern
For me the obvious answer is to elect more 3rd parties. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a democrat, but I don’t like being forced to pick the lesser of two evils. And I’d like to vote for someone who represents me with feeling guilty.
Wow... I felt embarrassed just LOOKING at them
"The welfare of any segment of humanity is inextricably bound up with the welfare of the whole. Humanity’s collective life suffers when any one group thinks of its own well-being in isolation from that of its neighbours or pursues economic gain without regard for how the natural environment, which provides
sustenance for all, is affected… The world is in desperate need of a shared ethic, a sure framework for addressing the crises that gather like storm clouds." ~Baha'i Faith, The Universal House of Justice
He was right, I can't stop myself from calling him El BJ now.
We're not going to talk about carpetbaggers and Reconstruction? It's kind of important for this idea.
where is the full speach?
October 25th, TruTV
Merlon anyway I can find it online?
Elliot W. None that I know of. Especially since it hasn't even premiered yet.
Search RUclips for one of the distorted pirate uploads after it airs on the 25th.
I swear the cut off it getting worse and worse
1:06 Where is Vietnam War?
As a non-American centrist I can say as an impartial observer that there is merit too this.
Shoe0nHead called.
anyone still alive after the performance?
What is this from out of curiosity?
Adam Ruins Everything which airs on TrueTV. This is an excerpt from the upcoming special on the 25th.
I'm surprised Adam didn't mention the great depression.
Charle Magne didn't the depression end 50s?
Zero Articulation ur special arent you
He right I can no longe say LBJ correctly. I now say El BJ...
Help...
Luckily I live in democratic county so that the program for executive branch is compromise between three or more political parties.
That has a chance of failing miserably, though. In Turkey, a three party coalition government coincided with a pretty bad economic crisis, which got a huge chunk of the voters scared enough of coalitions to vote for parties they're not 100% sure of just to keep the government from being a coalition in a time of peace.
Which country?
1960s not 1960's.
And meanwhile, I still have no idea what a conservative or liberal is, other than that they are opposed
I imagine that soon after the cutoff he mentioned that as the parties drifted further to their respective sides, Republicans have moved more to the right than Democrats have to the left.
Republicans got a bunch of ignorant racists on their side thanks to the southern strategy and never really stopped playing that card to garner support.
Which episode is this from?
The live tour I presume.
October 25th
Don't be dissin on mah boi Ted.
Adam Conover 2020
0:18 we still have both of those, they are called democrats.
Imagine that... the Civil Rights Act was the birth of modern Republicans.
So on-brand.
There are sxactly 500 comments. *thinks to self* should I unbalance this beautiful even number? Oh, too late.
the funniest thing is that the democratic party would be one of the most conservative parties here in germany 😂😂
Pretty sad that racism itself has broke American politics.
excellent video, excellent point, but.. "I'm conservative, i hate civil rights"??? yikes???
grossly stereotypical. that sort of thing increases the divide between us.
given the context of the civil rights act, of course it makes sense, but the civil rights act hadn't been brought up yet, and she didn't say "act".
Is it me or does he not explain why the Civil Rights Act "gave the South to the Republicans"?
I don't see why people can't just respect other peoples political view point.
I wish he was my teacher
Dreadful
He says we won the 'Cold War' under the more bi-partisan system, but the Cold War ended nearly 40 yrs after the Civil Rights Act was passed and the polarization he outlined ensued...
I will never understand how in America you have a liberal party, and a conservative party. I mean, how is that you only vote two right winged parties at the same time? Isn't usually one on the left, and other on the right?
Ok so this got me confused... What's the difference between liberal and conservative and republican and democrat then? ELI5 for a non US person
Conservative is traditional, especially in regards to religion, and liberal is more modern. Republicans are more conservative and democrats are more liberal.
Apparently the Actress who played Harley Quinn in suicide squad hated her outfit also calling a female an Actress can get you shouted at I don't see it as a gender distinction I think it makes sense Actor Male Actress Female I don't know it seems to help avoid confusion and anger at wrongly guessing whos who a lot
Lol, my parents, expect my mom is the liberal republican and my dad who is a democrat is a bit more conservative.
This video seems bent on polarizing it further rather than educate by cutting this video where you do.
the video is too short to the point that its really useless. most of the clips are really short and doesn't have enough material.
meow, I'm a dog
M E O W I M A D O G
1:05 You have won 3 wars? WTF?
the joined 2 and kind of got bored with a staring contest (though the technically won the cold war considering Soviet Union fell and kinda have to stop showing off for a few decades)
Sorry I have bad English. I don't fully understand. You can write easier?
The U.S. was late joining both world wars. We joined on the winning sides on both occasions. After World War 2, the U.S. and the Soviet Union (also called the U.S.S.R.) began stockpiling weapons and supplies like fuel and food in what is known as the Cold War. There was no really serious fighting between the USSR and the US, so it was called the Cold War due to it being similar to the two countries just kinda staring at each other angrily. The USSR collapsed and became many different countries, the biggest one being Russia. The US didn't collapse, so we more or less won, making that World War 1 and 2 that we won, and the Cold War being war number 3 that we won
But you see the negative effects of too many parties here in the U.K. The right wing is inherently advantaged because there are fewer right wing parties to choose from, whereas the left vote gets split.
what??? and thats why Hillary is SO progressive??? nice idea in theory but BOTH corporate parties elected their furthest "right" candidate in decades this year
Hillary ain't progressive.
if you think about it ... Obama Care is the same healthcare system Nixon wanted so Obama isn't really left either.
Trump aint far right
Some Guy lmao ok...
Some Guy trump is literally the farthest right. He has purposed the most right wing economic policy to date for a candidate.
