Brennan never tries to have an actual conversation about holding a turd. He only ever engages in a meta-conversation about everyone else presuming it's wrong for him to hold a turd. They presume so because it is obviously true, so Brennan can only argue that it's wrong to close the discussion of the issue. He never actually argues that holding the turd is right. If he tried to actually engage with "is there any good reason for me to hold this turd?" he would immediately lose the debate. Whenever you're dealing with people like this, always ask: are they having the conversation, or the meta-conversation?
lmfao so so true, very well put. it's a weird problem with discourse online especially that only seems to be growing all the time: the meta nature of how people talk about topics or issues; everything is a reaction to something else and there is no basis or grounding of the discussion in any core ideas, much less material reality. it's truly enough to drive one insane
So wrong, he has the right to hold that turd. That's why there's no law against it. He only crossed a line when he smeared it on someone's face. Whenever you use a weak argument like, because it's obviously true, you depart from rational discourse and enter into the realm of kindergarten logic. All rights should be maintained until there is a good enough reason to restrict them. If everything was illegal until good reason was given to make it legal, the world would be a very strange place. (Ok it is already a strange place but it would be much stranger)

They try to seem intelligent and calm (which works a disturbing amount of the time) but they are actually being offensive and wrong. Yes, opinions are technically subjective BUT there are some very obviously exceptions.
Depends how you look at it. If you were an advanced ai you would think like this and over years and years of machine learning you would reach the truth by thinking like this. It’s because we are in a social system and we are animals. You wouldn’t want this guy in your office but you wouldn’t want the planet to be governed by the other 5 people because sometimes doing things like killing and “holding turds” (using the method of reduction ad absurdum aka finding truth by eliminating all possible alternatives). So technically he is correct, what if an entire office were turd holders and thought turds smelled good? Morality and truth are not mutually exclusive. Yea I’m that guy and yea you don’t want me at your party but you’d want me there if everybody was convincing you that holding a turd is beneficial to the group. Just think about that deeply.

This is by far the best sketch ever. This is such a confusing time right now and i really feel like this sketch shows perfectly how messed up the time that we live now really is. 10/10 best sketch of 2018. Thank you college humor
If you haven't noticed, we've progressed past such small-minded prejudice. I, an intellectual, am proudly holding a turd in my mouth. Why? Because it's my freedom.
And they got commended for it. Now, suggesting we flush them down the toilet like we should is regarded as a ridiculous idea. After all, they're just turds with different opinions, shouldn't we be tolerant? Not like they're hurting anyone? ...yet?
As I recall, in my grandfather's day there was a huge fight over turd-holding and it ended with all the turds getting flushed. Even the one that someone said they were just asked to hold by someone else. I would have thought there was some kind of consensus that we simply do not hold turds, but it seems we have begun to forget. I really don't want to see a Turd World War.
The "I don't like your metaphors!" at the end really got me rolling for some reason. I really miss College Humor, that whole crew really put out a lot of good content regularly and didn't show any sign of slowing down when the rug was suddenly pulled out from under them.

In reality ben Shapiro has people who outright try and censor him because they deem his opinions racist homophobic, transphobic, etc. even when it isnt. He says he doesnt believe or like soemthing and supports it with facts and leftists come and throw insults
But the thing is, there ARE great people on the “wrong” side. They just don’t all agree with you or your world views. This absolutist ‘us vs. them’ approach to everything is just serving to divide people even more. So the real question is this: how do we clearly define the proper balance between absolutism and over-willingness to compromise?

Raphael is the perfect representation of a centrist “Doesn’t it make us JUST as bad as him?” NO NO IT DOESN’T TF IS WRONG WITH YOU COMPROMISING ON THINGS THAT SHOULDNT BE COMPROMISED
It does make you just as bad. Just explain to him it's unsanitary and makes you uncomfortable. If he persists, contact HR immediately. THAT'S a centrist, you freak.
I don’t think that particular moment in the video was meant to criticize centrists. The man tried to draw a comparison between holding a fresh turd in your hand and yelling at someone. There was no compromising. And besides, centrism doesn’t involve compromising everything. Only things that should be compromised, or otherwise looked at from a more objective and/or nuanced perspective. The type of centrist you have described would be the centrist equivalent of a member of the alt-right or a far left “libtard” for lack of a better name (I think there is a difference between liberals and so-called libtards, as some liberals are willing to talk about their political beliefs), perpetually thinking that just because something is the middle-ground between two positions means that it MUST be the correct position. Being a centrist myself, I know that thinking in such a way can result in some ridiculous ideas. Like how yelling at someone is equivalent to holding shit in your hand.
That "it makes us just as bad as him" bullshit always pisses me off in movies and tv shows. I don't know what you're talking about with the whole centrist thing, but I just know that that saying get's me rather peeved when a villain whose killed tons of people is spared because the heroes would be "just as bad as him". NO THEY WOULDN'T BE DAMMIT!!!
It’s a ripped sketch idea. Whitest Kids U Know did something very similar back in the mid 2000s. (Guy holding turd in a meeting, everyone is grossed out)
the simple common denomimator "poop in a meeting" is not something that can be "ripped off", and the basis of the jokes of both sketches is completely different; seems a bit wild to call that "stolen and just a bit expanded on"

The point is if you don't have rational thinking skills then you take what you know for granted. If you can't think for yourself, then you can't even argue against why holding a turd in your hand is wrong and resort to violence.
I like to equate someone having a really terrible take on a social issue as the physical embodiment of someone eating a turd sandwich right in front of you while having no idea they are currently snacking down on turds. In my mind's eye, I've now seen Elon Musk eat like 40 of them.
@@bakedbeanteen8791 It could be about anything. The turd is just a placeholder for anything that a person wants to argue over that is inherently stupid to those around them, but their main argument is that it's their right to do "this" and that no one around them should be offended over it. Which is why he turned their words around as if trying to insult them and pushing it (literally) in their face so that they couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to.
@@shadypalmtree2989 right but it's clearly Brennan that's in the wrong here, which is the whole point of the video, and if you missed that then you severely missed the point.

These replies are hilarious because it was literally the point of the sketch. "Both sides have bad takes" when one is literally holding a piece of shit. Also, Brennan said "so much for the tolerant left", not sure how people missed this but whilst it can go for anyone with a bad take or opinion it was targeted at the right.

Or they throw out strawmen or allusions and references.
Muller Potgieter Oh so he can HOLD a turd but the second he puts a little it’s bit of feces into someone’s mouth it’s all “send him to the asylum”? What happened to open mindedness? Diversity of opinion? So much for the tolerant left.
This sketch was always relevant and yet ahead of its time lmao
*YOUR WORD SORCERY ENDS NOW*
What if that is a code for the site?
The instant I saw this the video said that
Katie: **Gets uncomfortable because Brennan is holding a Turd**
Also Katie: **Takes a shit while everyone is "flirting" with her**
Why the quotes around "flirting"? Those boys were definitely all flirting with her.
This is by far the best sketch ever. This is such a confusing time right now and i really feel like this sketch shows perfectly how messed up the time that we live now really is. 10/10 best sketch of 2018. Thank you college humor
You sweet summer child
Well about that...

They were always far left. You just grew up.
@@macinsplince I think this one was actually making fun of the left and how they talk about tolerating everything.
Bandit Raccoon the last time I held a turd I was called a “weirdo” and an “idiot” all I want to do is hold a turd IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
I was expecting Katy to hold the turd
No, she leaves them in her pants.

@@licitchaos I'm glad people got the reference
I know right?
Shes the only one that doesnt hold it.
"So much for the tolerant left!" THAT KILLED ME!!

@@stephenking5852 Part of the metaphor. People hold poop, lure some people into think it's reasonable, and then they get shit in their mouths
@@crucified_to_the_world Right... 😂😂😂
Did anyone notice Raph also punched him with his left hand?
"I don't like your metaphors" is a genius last line
In my day ,we just flushed turds down the toilet. No debate needed.
If you haven't noticed, we've progressed past such small-minded prejudice.
I, an intellectual, am proudly holding a turd in my mouth. Why? Because it's my freedom.
And they got commended for it. Now, suggesting we flush them down the toilet like we should is regarded as a ridiculous idea. After all, they're just turds with different opinions, shouldn't we be tolerant? Not like they're hurting anyone? ...yet?
I read that in Scruffy's voice
As I recall, in my grandfather's day there was a huge fight over turd-holding and it ended with all the turds getting flushed. Even the one that someone said they were just asked to hold by someone else. I would have thought there was some kind of consensus that we simply do not hold turds, but it seems we have begun to forget.
I really don't want to see a Turd World War.

That’s still not a phrase, Venom
Still not... 😞
This really makes me want to burn my bridges when I get to them
Why is that so funny for everyone? What Venom says is menacing and terrifying for the guy being held. Venom is going to turn him into a literal piece of shit and that terrifies the guy
Those Sony writers, what'll they think of next...
He also should've said something along the lines "Everyone is so sensitive and soft these days you can't even hold a turd in public"
This skit really teases people who try oppose the left.
Un-Ironic Productions I see that it does :D "Everyone being too sensitive these days" is one of the arguments/complaints alt-right often uses when some problems (especially harassment and cultural appropriation and etc.) are addressed
@@danakanafina3615 ok I agree with the right on the cultural appropriation thing tho. People using other cultures is great. And tbh the right is justified nowadays, people say reasonable things and are called things like racist and sexist.
Un-Ironic Productions I see your point. Personally I disagree with "... the right is justified nowadays" and I imagine our definitions of "reasonable" might be different, but I feel like I'm not informed enough yet on cultural appropriation in particular (I just used it as one of the examples) to converse too much on this, I'm not even American to begin with, and we aren't really facing this problem in my country. Have a nice day, I guess!

“It’s fine to yell at me for holding a turd but I somehow can’t hold a turd without getting yelled at?”
Literally the same thing
Explolsive Cake it’s phrased differently, therefore it’s different.
Hey, I’ve seen dumber logic and sentences in arguments on the Internet.
It’s word magic fool
It poisons your mind
It makes you unnecessarily mad for no reason
“So much for the tolerant left” 😂 that’s a thinly veiled metaphor at best
Mom said it's my turn to hold the turd!
This video should be called "Brennan DESTROYS coworkers with facts and logic and a turd."
I know what your trying to reference and it doesn't work.
Not only does it work, I'm like 95% sure those types of videos are where they got the whole premise of the sketch.
@@dreaminginnoother yeah but Ben Shapiro doesnt hold shitty opinions das the thing. The sketch is basically saying that he says dumb stuff and then calls you anti free speech whenever you oppose it. In reality ben Shapiro has people who outright try and censor him because they deem his opinions racist homophobic, transphobic, etc. even when it isnt. He says he doesnt believe or like soemthing and supports it with facts and leftists come and throw insults
...now you, sir, are holding the turd...
This whole interaction is everything!
As a great turd once said, "very fine people on both sides."
haha nice
Dont forget the other pithy sayings of a great turd "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it."
But the thing is, there ARE great people on the “wrong” side. They just don’t all agree with you or your world views. This absolutist ‘us vs. them’ approach to everything is just serving to divide people even more. So the real question is this: how do we clearly define the proper balance between absolutism and over-willingness to compromise?
Alex Harwell
Yeah no. When that side chants “Jews will not replace us!” I’m skeptical of their moral fibre.
@@TheAwesome45 Or when the other side chants "death to whitey" or "Fry em like bacon" im kinda skeptical of their moral fiber. See, I can play this game all day, you cant pretend the bad eggs represent the whole of the other side while ignoring the same bad eggs on your side.
This sketch has aged quite well, considering the state we are in these days

@@luminatron you seem awfully aware👀
Raphael is the perfect representation of a centrist
“Doesn’t it make us JUST as bad as him?”
NO
NO IT DOESN’T
TF IS WRONG WITH YOU COMPROMISING ON THINGS THAT SHOULDNT BE COMPROMISED
This is the first attack I've seen on a centrist... huh.
It does make you just as bad. Just explain to him it's unsanitary and makes you uncomfortable. If he persists, contact HR immediately.
THAT'S a centrist, you freak.
I don’t think that particular moment in the video was meant to criticize centrists. The man tried to draw a comparison between holding a fresh turd in your hand and yelling at someone. There was no compromising.
And besides, centrism doesn’t involve compromising everything. Only things that should be compromised, or otherwise looked at from a more objective and/or nuanced perspective. The type of centrist you have described would be the centrist equivalent of a member of the alt-right or a far left “libtard” for lack of a better name (I think there is a difference between liberals and so-called libtards, as some liberals are willing to talk about their political beliefs), perpetually thinking that just because something is the middle-ground between two positions means that it MUST be the correct position. Being a centrist myself, I know that thinking in such a way can result in some ridiculous ideas. Like how yelling at someone is equivalent to holding shit in your hand.
That "it makes us just as bad as him" bullshit always pisses me off in movies and tv shows. I don't know what you're talking about with the whole centrist thing, but I just know that that saying get's me rather peeved when a villain whose killed tons of people is spared because the heroes would be "just as bad as him". NO THEY WOULDN'T BE DAMMIT!!!
@@wolfleaderpack5123 Two wrongs doesn't make a right. JK I agree with you😂
I love how this is just a hugely immature way to display the tolerance paradox. Brilliant!
This is honestly some of collegehumour's best work
It’s a ripped sketch idea. Whitest Kids U Know did something very similar back in the mid 2000s. (Guy holding turd in a meeting, everyone is grossed out)
@@duffin3503 Yeah the idea is definitely stolen. They do expand on it a bit though, both sketches are good on their own.
the simple common denomimator "poop in a meeting" is not something that can be "ripped off", and the basis of the jokes of both sketches is completely different; seems a bit wild to call that "stolen and just a bit expanded on"
Mike's laptop still damaged from "when kink chooses you" skit.....
Love the little details....
I thought it was from the best burger ever
It was at this moment people realised, brenan had surpassed trap in arguments
Brennan's ability to portray psychopaths is Oscar worthy
03:10 'rational, reasonable, calm' is giving me war flashbacks
1:24 the squishing sound is just the most god awful thing ever
"It's my right not to wear a mask", sounds just as stupid as "It's my right to hold this turd"
Indeed. Those arguments are quite similar, both figuratively and literally.
Dan Anderson assuming that the argument had any logic base which it does not, it would only be figuratively, its not literally if it not physically the same thing, just shown you government puppets don’t have any brain power to think for yourselves
@@joshuabarrett2305 I said that the arguments are literally similar, not literally the same argument. That's a big difference that you didn't pick up on. If you are going to go around calling people puppets and criticizing their intelligence, first learn to comprehend English statements in their full context, and not simply the semantics of the words within them. You'll find that if you do that, intelligent people will take you much more seriously.
It's my right to infect other people or myself with a dangerous virus! Other people's bodies and mine, my choice.

“I wanna challenge you guys to voice your feelings about when I smear poop on you”. This is without a doubt the best college humor sketch ever made.
You can tell Brennan is really proud of this sketch because of the little smile you see on his face between 2:59 to 3:00

This actually has a big message
Cole TM why hold one turd when you can hold two
It was about gun control Gun=Turd
Lol you’re an idiot. It’s the complete opposite of what they were saying. They were saying you don’t have the right to do something absolutely stupid and argue it’s your right. You just completely missed the point. You’re the problem not the victim.
I think almost all CH videos do
The point is if you don't have rational thinking skills then you take what you know for granted. If you can't think for yourself, then you can't even argue against why holding a turd in your hand is wrong and resort to violence.
3:06 I love how Grant just freaks out.
"Oh yeah just keep telling me not to hold this turd! You know what, now I'm gonna hold TWO turds, just because it makes you so angry!"
I like to equate someone having a really terrible take on a social issue as the physical embodiment of someone eating a turd sandwich right in front of you while having no idea they are currently snacking down on turds. In my mind's eye, I've now seen Elon Musk eat like 40 of them.
When the turd was smeared on Trap, it was the most accurate reaction ever
Except for the part where he didn't go to a sink and wash his hands or face.
They didn't tell him it was fake
Wow this sketch was perfect. I love Brennan's character going from just a stuck up idiot to full blown insane.
Is this really just an analogy to neo fascism in the modern political discourse?
I love it
@@bakedbeanteen8791 It could be about anything. The turd is just a placeholder for anything that a person wants to argue over that is inherently stupid to those around them, but their main argument is that it's their right to do "this" and that no one around them should be offended over it. Which is why he turned their words around as if trying to insult them and pushing it (literally) in their face so that they couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to.
@l r but I have been noticing it a lot more on the right, can you elaborate please?
@@shadypalmtree2989 right but it's clearly Brennan that's in the wrong here, which is the whole point of the video, and if you missed that then you severely missed the point. The point was that there ideas and actions that are not worth considering in the modern discourse, and that Brennan's style of argumentation in this video is quite literally poisonous
@@ace97101 Obviously he was wrong. Please reread my comment, because I dont think you understood it
@Khaine's Lair Trying to get people deplatformed, trying to take people's funding away, violently assaulting people you don't agree with. All tactics of the left today in an effort to quell dissenting opinions they call "facist", this is facist by definition.

@@strawberrypencl It’s very obviously targeted at the Alt Right
@@tommagennis Nah it's targeted at people who hold 'shitty' and stupid opinions and beliefs, there is a line when he mentions 'the left', but really it can be anyone from either side. If you think Brennan is being alt-right in this sketch, you have a real skewed view on politics my guy
These replies are hilarious because it was literally the point of the sketch. "Both sides have bad takes" when one is literally holding a piece of shit.
Also, Brennan said "so much for the tolerant left", not sure how people missed this but whilst it can go for anyone with a bad take or opinion it was targeted at the right.
You can always tell when Brennan has written the sketch
This is beyond perfect, but the last line should have been "Now I'm holding two turds... *and it's your fault for criticising me!*"
Never have I ever thought a sketch about holding a turd could be so politically charged (and correct)
When Brennan smears it on Trapp and everyone's screaming, Rehka's straight up laughing over there 🤣🤣and then goes back to outrage once she speaks again. I love that they kept that in 🤣🤣

Pretty sure the intended moral of the story is that leftists should use violence to fight fascism.
The turd is homosexuality
The title made me think he was holding it in, not literally holding it... I'm upset
In death, he became a martyr, inspiring millions of turd holders to rise up to their oppressors thus beginning the revolution.
“first they came for the people holding turds and i said nothing for i was not holding a turd” HELP

I had to share this with my coworkers today because they kept saying, "But the LOOTING!" Maybe, JUST MAYBE, the humor will help them cut through the miasma of Faux News.
