Top 3 Moments: #3 Louisiana's super soft "Bingo" at the beginning, oh my heart, why was that so cute!?? #2 Big "What up, I'm Florida, I'm 175, and I never fckin' learned how to read" energy & I'm here for it!! #1 Even in the structure of this comedic recap of the news you give us, you respected and honored John Lewis's work and legacy and it was beautiful!
THANK YOU FOR DEALING WITH THE HORRID SITUATION IN PORTLAND (NOT LIKE YOU COULD AVOID IT!) AND FOR TALKING ABOUT JOHN LEWIS. THIS IS STILL THE BEST PART OF MY WEEK, ESPECIALLY SINCE I GET MORE WORRIED ABOUT THIS COUNTRY DAY BY DAY.
@@JohnTaylor-tl1gh because they aren't arrested just picked up, isolated and detained, sometimes for half a day or more, their belongings and persons searched, and they're being detained at undisclosed locations - taken there blindfolded or in closed vehicles, so not being told where they are. .... How is this not kidnapping?
@@JohnTaylor-tl1gh being detained with no Miranda, no answers about why you're being detained, no disclosure about where you are and no phone call contact with anyone isn't normal. These people are being detained for extended periods of time, incommunicado, and ignorant of reasons or surroundings and after being searched illegally are then released - all with no due process, miranda or formal charges being filed. For now, they're being released .... For now
@@JohnTaylor-tl1gh no, we have a thing in this country called due process. Also, to be lawfully arrested by a federal agent, you have to have committed a federal crime - which none of these people had. And there were no warrants; I'm really not sure where you're struggling here.
As a Texan I was READY to see TX and OK throw down 😂 but in all seriousness thank you finding ways to talk about the real problems in a way that everyone can understand and enjoy
I love Florida as usual but i went from laughing to teary-eyed in a split of a second. I didnt think anyone knew what John Lewis did and his contributions. Your videos mean so much to me in my sanity in these times but this one touched my heart. Thank you for making the news light.
Knowing that Rep Lewis was beaten severely, along with many of the 600 people on the 1st March, it was extremely gratifying to learn that, about 2-3 weeks later, he was able to finish his march to Montgomery with 8,000 people (the final number in Montgomery the day they arrived was an estimated 25,000). I didn't know or learn about this growing up, other than the fact the march happened. I learned some of it reading his memorials in some of the major newspapers, and then researching him deeper on my own. He was a greater man than I could have imagined, and the world is a bleaker place without his steadying influence. 😕
Rep Lewis is one of the greatest men this country has ever had. We need several statues of him. Did you know one of his ancestors, a former slave, fought to get to vote. As soon as he was able, he went and voted. It took 100 years before someone in his family had that right again. John Lewis was that man. He fought so all could vote.
@@Ben_Brainard That is absolutely crazy to think about. I hope Lewis knows that his legacy is being carried with the protests right now and that he will not be forgotten. He was an absolutely amazing person and I hope he can rest in peace knowing that we are still fighting the good fight. 💜 Thank you for the tribute to him! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
@@Ben_Brainard I got to see him speak at my husband's commencement in 2018. I was so proud that day, and want to honor him in my actions moving forward.
You made me cry there at the end. A great man whose shoes we can all stand in. That's really what made him exceptional is that he lead by example we can all follow.
OMG! I laughed so hard I had to pause then rewind the video when that collection of Southern States hit DC with the passive aggressive assault. It really SO representative of us.
I really appreciate these videos, they keep my updated in a way that doesnt make me rip my hair out and I love all the characters, if after 2020 there is less drama I hope you'll still do skits like this because it really brightens up my day.
@@swethapirathiviraj1796 Breonna Taylor was killed because of police violence like George Floyd was. She was killed in a no-knock raid on her apartment and the police had the wrong place.
Amanda Green they didn’t have the wrong place and she ran into the gunfire between her boyfriend (who shot first btw) and the cops. It is sad that she died but it was not the polices fault
@@charlesstevens9775 so I looked it up because I wanted to be certain. Don't wanna argue if I'm wrong. Apparently the judge had signed a warrant for her place to be searched. However it appears to me that she didnt jump into the gunshots. Also she didn't receive medical attention for more than 20 minutes after she was shot according to the logs that dispatch keeps. No one really knows what happened that night especially not some random chick like me. And mr. Walker should not have fired his gun however they were in fear for their lives and there's a law colloquially referred to as the stand-your- ground law that allows for a person in a situation such as that to protect themselves. I don't think that we need to get rid of the police entirely but something needs to be done to protect people's lives.
@@JewishGay No, Oregon came into picture during a weekly recap but Ben hasn't done an actual "welcome Oregon to the table".... I AM WAITING FOR HOW FLORIDA CALLS US TO THE TABLE! Ben don't fail us too lmao
Great tribute to John Lewis! And, let's not forget Rev. C.T. Vivian as well, who died the same day. Not-so-fun fact: one of the catalysts for the Selma to Montgomery March was the police killing of a protester.
I wasn’t expecting that after binge watching so many of your shorts. Beautiful tribute to John Lewis. I love how Oregon steps up with the political education 🤩🥰 Btw those vans were grabbing people all over the country
I'm not humbled and embarrassed that I didn't know about Lewis' work with a graphic novel about the civil rights movement. Thanks for the education in more of what I already knew about this great man. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep doing this work. I salute you.
This is arguably your best one yet! The humor is always fire, the news is informative and hard hitting, and then with this one, the tribute was factual, touching and a good representation of the treasure we lost this week. Thank you for your clever take and your service to us all during this time! I can't wait to show off my Chaos sticker to tell more people about you! Much love, from New Jersey (ahem....who still needs a better seat at the table)
I’m from PA (now I live in SC) and I’m a Steelers fan so I have mixed emotions when PA comes on Bc Steelers fans don’t like eagle fans😂😂😂 but PA is so accurate. I’m getting ready to go up there
Thank you for touching on our Oregon and telling our situation..... but hey.... Florida better call us right when its time for Oregon to come to the table lol.
As an oregonian, the bit where oregon made sense was a breath of fresh air... now, im gonna go find florida. I hear they have some good bath salts and succulent faces
The way LA says bingo is just... perfection, and the tribute to John Lewis was heart touching. These videos have been the best thing to come out of this pandemic
Great, now instead of laughing like usual, I have tears in my eyes. Rest in Peace John Lewis, you have been a true and faithful servant of this country.
Got another "Southern passive aggressive" for ya from Virginia.... "Love your hair!" Basically, this phrase is used when you're "Southern Charm" isn't showing and you want to politely insult someone. It's just as versatile as "Bless your heart".
As a natural born Texan I may not always find your Texas depiction always accurate (but it is funny) but if there is one thing you got right is that we hate Oklahoma for no good reason other than the fact that we're better than them.
Oklahoma and Texas are the best 😂 the fight scenario was accurate ( I am a UT fan living in the sooner state)😂. Can their please be more of them together 😂
I think you're amazing for using your platform which is usually for comedy to be real for that moment and remember a good man, it's unfortunately we have to just remember them because they aren't many left anymore we must treasure them all
So I live a county over from where the ankle monitor incident happened. A day after it was reported the Hardin County Sheriff’s office released a memo stating that it has done no such thing. I found it hilarious that you brought it up though!
As an Oregonian I think it’s important to mention that 90% of our state by area is republican but the majority population is democratic. We are pretty split and many people in eastern Oregon have wanted to split off for ages because their voices arnt herd, all because of the Portland area.
“Is the south just full of passive aggressive sayings”
Yes
In VA we have "love your hair!" as a passive aggressive insult.... It's one of my favorites...
My favorite is, "Bless your heart".
I hope you have a magical day/night
Bwahahaha yes
I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers
I learn more from these than the actual news
Honestly though
you right
Yep
This is my form of news

Top 3 Moments:
#3 Louisiana's super soft "Bingo" at the beginning, oh my heart, why was that so cute!??
#2 Big "What up, I'm Florida, I'm 175, and I never fckin' learned how to read" energy & I'm here for it!!
#1 Even in the structure of this comedic recap of the news you give us, you respected and honored John Lewis's work and legacy and it was beautiful!
IKR Louis is so adorable.
Oh bingo
I want to add an honorable mention: at 4:12 Florida says "I can't read", but the caption says "I can't ready." :>
For me, it was Oregon given that whole speech of the riots and the government abducting children
FR LOUI IS SO ADORABLE 😭💕
“Why would you stop that?! It’s not even Pay per view”
S.L. Michaels pay per view*
King Flame1118 FL education
I was today years old when I found out it’s “pay per view” and not “paper view”
@@carolinejanney7486 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"No Florida" DC is missing the rolled up newspaper or is it just me
THANK YOU FOR DEALING WITH THE HORRID SITUATION IN PORTLAND (NOT LIKE YOU COULD AVOID IT!) AND FOR TALKING ABOUT JOHN LEWIS. THIS IS STILL THE BEST PART OF MY WEEK, ESPECIALLY SINCE I GET MORE WORRIED ABOUT THIS COUNTRY DAY BY DAY.
How's it kidnapping again if the people being targeted are being picked up by federal agents, in federal vehicles, for fedral warrents?
@@JohnTaylor-tl1gh because they aren't arrested just picked up, isolated and detained, sometimes for half a day or more, their belongings and persons searched, and they're being detained at undisclosed locations - taken there blindfolded or in closed vehicles, so not being told where they are. .... How is this not kidnapping?
@@deekeller9562 other than the blindfold, thats nothing abnormal for getting processed through the judicial system
@@JohnTaylor-tl1gh being detained with no Miranda, no answers about why you're being detained, no disclosure about where you are and no phone call contact with anyone isn't normal.

as an actual citizen of Oklahoma, Texas saying "I've been waitin' for this moment mah whole life." is 100% accurate and a total Mood.
You’d never win! -A Texas native🤣
As a Texan I was READY to see TX and OK throw down 😂 but in all seriousness thank you finding ways to talk about the real problems in a way that everyone can understand and enjoy
I was upset the Texan didn’t say, “OU sucks” 😂
Texas would whooped OKs ass
I thought we were gonna get a preview to the Red River Rivalry at the table.
I think the only reason they haven't thrown down yet is it would be a nightmare to edit. Once Ben finds a body double, we're getting the throwdown.
I love Florida as usual but i went from laughing to teary-eyed in a split of a second. I didnt think anyone knew what John Lewis did and his contributions. Your videos mean so much to me in my sanity in these times but this one touched my heart. Thank you for making the news light.

There will never be enough said about John Lewis, never enough. He is a hero of this country and I rarely use the word hero.
Time for an August Bingo card. Ought to be interesting with all the different “ back to school” squares.
The tribute to John Lewis at the end gave me goosebumps. Thank you for including him 💜
The John Lewis part made me cry 😭
You can see in his eyes that he was about to cry (as GA)
@@AngelRivera-fn6xv So true. It clearly hurt him.
We miss you so much Mr. Lewis. Rest in power 😭.
@@Ben_Brainard That is absolutely crazy to think about. I hope Lewis knows that his legacy is being carried with the protests right now and that he will not be forgotten. He was an absolutely amazing person and I hope he can rest in peace knowing that we are still fighting the good fight. 💜 Thank you for the tribute to him! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

"I will take bath salts again...." LOL BEST LINE EVERY
As an Okie.... I'll keep Texas in my thoughts and prayers.
And thank you for showing love to John Lewis! He'll be missed.
As a Texan.. bless your heart honey.
Bless your heart
Bless your heart
Oh I cackled at the passive aggressive southern sayings 😂
You made me cry there at the end. A great man whose shoes we can all stand in. That's really what made him exceptional is that he lead by example we can all follow.
What he said
RIP, John Lewis. He was a big inspiration for my family. Thank you.
I want that Oregon trail shirt. I love you. When I had Covid I felt the same as the governor of OKLAHOMA just some body aches and a horrible cough.
I think 6dolllartshirts.com have those shirts. If not, there is something there for everyone.
Glad to hear you recovered.
OMG! I laughed so hard I had to pause then rewind the video when that collection of Southern States hit DC with the passive aggressive assault. It really SO representative of us.
How do you possibly start out with me laughing about kangaroos and end with tears in my eyes?!?!
I really appreciate these videos, they keep my updated in a way that doesnt make me rip my hair out and I love all the characters, if after 2020 there is less drama I hope you'll still do skits like this because it really brightens up my day.
I really like when you add the serious note at the end. Well done 👏 May he rest in peace.
A great man and a great leader RIP
We arrested a kangaroo..?
Right?!!
You’re surprised?
Linden Salter tbh...no, not really 🤣
Yep! Last week in Ft Lauderdale. 😅
Jupiter, fl. That think was jumping around for 3 weeks. We also had the gator thrown through Wendy's window. Btw, not poor town, we are all rich
I wish you would put Breonna Taylor in your VIP mentions like you did George Floyd.
I'm guessing that Brenna Taylor wasn't a Patron, and George Floyd was? Maybe that's why
@@swethapirathiviraj1796 Breonna Taylor was killed because of police violence like George Floyd was. She was killed in a no-knock raid on her apartment and the police had the wrong place.
He had george in his VIP as George donated to him
Amanda Green they didn’t have the wrong place and she ran into the gunfire between her boyfriend (who shot first btw) and the cops. It is sad that she died but it was not the polices fault
@@charlesstevens9775 so I looked it up because I wanted to be certain. Don't wanna argue if I'm wrong. Apparently the judge had signed a warrant for her place to be searched.

Me being from Oregon getting nervous at seeing Oregon 😶
Same
@@gidgetclaws6424 I'm like Oregon whatcha about to say? I love his shirt tho 🤣.
Is this the first time we’ve seen Oregon?
@@lolaby2 I think so?
@@JewishGay No, Oregon came into picture during a weekly recap but Ben hasn't done an actual "welcome Oregon to the table".... I AM WAITING FOR HOW FLORIDA CALLS US TO THE TABLE! Ben don't fail us too lmao
Love the content it is absolutely hilarious Edit: Wow thanks for all the likes everyone
I think you are amazingly talented. You can blend serious issues with comedy and not lose the serious nature of the content.
Great tribute to John Lewis! And, let's not forget Rev. C.T. Vivian as well, who died the same day. Not-so-fun fact: one of the catalysts for the Selma to Montgomery March was the police killing of a protester.
That Oregon trail shirt OR is wearing had me dying!
I just gotta say...I love your content.
So happy my Tiktok FYP led me to you.
I wasn’t expecting that after binge watching so many of your shorts. Beautiful tribute to John Lewis. I love how Oregon steps up with the political education 🤩🥰
Btw those vans were grabbing people all over the country
Y'all can we just appreciate Oregon's Oregon Trail t-shirt... I feel suddenly nostalgic and I need one!!
3:51 YES. YES IT IS. (Also, ad honey to the end or beginning of bless your heart and it will be extra passive aggressive
Love the t-shirt on Oregon. Gave me a good chuckle
I'm not humbled and embarrassed that I didn't know about Lewis' work with a graphic novel about the civil rights movement. Thanks for the education in more of what I already knew about this great man. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep doing this work. I salute you.
that ending 🥺💖
“Florida No!!” I swear he’s the toddler of the group. “I can do bath salts again, I’ll do it!”
For such a lighthearted and funny series I actually really appreciated the silly yet respectful detour.
I like how he said "Bingo.." so chilled out
the last bit actually made me tear up.
This is arguably your best one yet! The humor is always fire, the news is informative and hard hitting, and then with this one, the tribute was factual, touching and a good representation of the treasure we lost this week. Thank you for your clever take and your service to us all during this time! I can't wait to show off my Chaos sticker to tell more people about you! Much love, from New Jersey (ahem....who still needs a better seat at the table)
Beautiful tribute to our dear Mr. John Lewis❤️💛
Also I live in Florida and its wild. Some teachers I had in high school are retiring if they have to go back this fall
way to go on the John Lewis tribute. Thank you.
Can we get a whole video of Oklahoma and Texas fighting?
Probably the ONLY serious, yet informative skit. Well done!!
These just keep getting more insane, heaven help up when December comes
As a FloridianI love that you included "Have a Magical Day"!🤣🤣🤣
On a more serious note, thank you for the memorial of Rep John Lewis. 😔
Oregon is on point in this one, and I have a new argument for when my conservative grandpa starts talking politics again.
I so love this, top notch all on its own. Nice work, so incredibly entertaining. I love you dude!
I’m from PA (now I live in SC) and I’m a Steelers fan so I have mixed emotions when PA comes on Bc Steelers fans don’t like eagle fans😂😂😂 but PA is so accurate. I’m getting ready to go up there
Since Florida has Disney, give him lightsaber
Thank you for touching on our Oregon and telling our situation..... but hey.... Florida better call us right when its time for Oregon to come to the table lol.
Okay you got me with that ending. Thank you for paying tribute to John Lewis.
Thank you , Ben. I've learned more about current events than the news has provided. Subbed for life.
As an oregonian, the bit where oregon made sense was a breath of fresh air... now, im gonna go find florida. I hear they have some good bath salts and succulent faces
Ben! You are amazing for coming up with this. I love it and look forward to them and watch them over and over
PA saying "I'm fine" like that is just... yup! LoL
Your more than awesome! I love that you did that at the end for John Lewis!
Oh Florida what a precious precious state you are. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the tribute to Rep. Lewis and for the quote at the end. Appreciate these videos so much!
Please tell me you add in the lawsuit In Florida from the school board against the government, in the next installment.
The way LA says bingo is just... perfection, and the tribute to John Lewis was heart touching. These videos have been the best thing to come out of this pandemic
on Sunday ICE got contacted over 650 times in less than an hour about releasing families together.
"No! Florida! Nice tribute to John Lewis, funny, classy guy you are Ben!
I have been looking forward to this all week. Also, that ending conversation. ❤❤❤
Great, now instead of laughing like usual, I have tears in my eyes. Rest in Peace John Lewis, you have been a true and faithful servant of this country.
Watching these helps me determine what I will search for in news articles. Great tribute to Rep. John Lewis at the end.
Yasss Oregon is finally involved!!
Life is complete whenever a new update comes out! :-)
I love this channel! I learn more here than i do in the actual news
Got another "Southern passive aggressive" for ya from Virginia.... "Love your hair!" Basically, this phrase is used when you're "Southern Charm" isn't showing and you want to politely insult someone. It's just as versatile as "Bless your heart".
Love yer hair. Hope you win.
This is my new favorite. I'm gonna a share this everywhere.
💜💜 thank you for the moment
This is what I look forward to. EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK.
NC is ON POINT! thanks for getting us right
I opened RUclips at the end of my stressful workday just to see if you have a new video up. Thanks!
Great as always Ben!😁👍 I really appreciated the end of the group chat!
Thanks for somehow making me cry at the end
As a natural born Texan I may not always find your Texas depiction always accurate (but it is funny) but if there is one thing you got right is that we hate Oklahoma for no good reason other than the fact that we're better than them.
This episode as a whole is spot on for texas tho.
The fact that we are better than OK is good enough reason for me.
You’re so talented!! I’m impressed by your range.
That was a beautiful tribute. Thank you, Ben!
(BTW, the unmarked vans in the vids I saw were all from FL!)
Love these videos man. Keep it up!
Oklahoma and Texas are the best 😂 the fight scenario was accurate ( I am a UT fan living in the sooner state)😂. Can their please be more of them together 😂
Florida saying ‘I can’t read, okay?’ While the subtitles say ‘I can’t ready, okay?’ Is quite funny
Oooofff, bless your honeysuckle heart DC
The bless your heart just sent me into a rage and I don't know why
I love these videos so much pls never stop making them hahah
omg the darth vader head i just noticed
This weeks was epic. You rock Ben!!!
I think you're amazing for using your platform which is usually for comedy to be real for that moment and remember a good man, it's unfortunately we have to just remember them because they aren't many left anymore we must treasure them all
So I live a county over from where the ankle monitor incident happened. A day after it was reported the Hardin County Sheriff’s office released a memo stating that it has done no such thing. I found it hilarious that you brought it up though!
"you still have some left???! I got to work harder."
notification squad!! love you sm!! 💜💜
I keep watching & think to myself. Many of these issues could be solved with a very good net & good method of deployment.
Beautiful tribute homie. :)
We need more of Florida and Louisiana!!!
On a serious note governor tested positive for covid
Texas: I always knew Oklahoman were weak.
Oklahoma: OKAY BUDDY WANT TO SEE HOW WEAK I REALLY AM!?
I was hoping he’d be more like “Oklahoma and Texas, stop acting like Kansas and Missouri
Also, bless your heart
Just love Florida 😊
As an Oregonian I think it’s important to mention that 90% of our state by area is republican but the majority population is democratic. We are pretty split and many people in eastern Oregon have wanted to split off for ages because their voices arnt herd, all because of the Portland area.
