hahahaha holy shit @17:09 "what do you mean shot"
Can Kony be the main protagonist in Farcry 6???
13:37 they stole that sound from starfox adventures: dinosaur planet (on the Nintendo gamecube)
I am listening to these like podcasts and I can say that the dance sequence is the weirdest thing I’ve ever witnessed- without witnessing it
Fun Fact: Luis Moreno Ocampo was the assistant prosecutor in the trial against the Argentinian Military Junta for extensive human rights violations and US-backed state terrorism during the military dictatorship that went from 1976 to 1983.
mom/dad, who is this kony on your tattoo? oh, just a warlord from uganda
Honestly I love this musical 10/10 corny but hilarious
So they donated 3/10ths of their revenue towards the cause. 3/10ths of 23 million dollars is 6,900,000 dollars. That's an enormous amount of money alone, not including other things they've done. Good job on them, despite the shit ratio.
The main guy in blue reminds me of the main character of Wet Hot American Summer. lol
Your not evil, you are jut batshit insane!
There was an episode of My Name Is Earl where essentially, due to the main character's innate obligation to fulfill the tasks on his list and the related urge to balance out the wastefulness and pollution of the people around him, he gets overwhelmed with the idea of where the environment is headed and how impossible it is to address by himself. While My Name Is Earl is a glammed up TV show, that's exactly what I thought of after hearing of Jason's breakdown.
It’s funny how gay his “friends” are too.
The UN really is a corrupt POS organization.. they are a JOKE
Nice shoutout to Fredrik Knudsen (Down The Rabbit Hole) quite the underrated creator.
OMG I JUST REALISED THIS IS WHAT JACKIN IT IN SAN DIEGO IS ABOUT, I always wondered wtf that south park skit was about.
Jackin it Jackin it JackinitJack Smackin it smackin smackety smack
13:26 you jerk.
The Night commute wouldn't have made sense tho You're sleeping outside with all the things you need to feel comfortable The kids are huddled and squished together yea? No sleeping bags no snacks no lights. It's just a big sleep-in.
far cry 3 irl
Definitely Micheal Jackson inspired
Fucking cringe video, tried to skip it with the time stamp and seemed to end up in the worst part
I love how they thought they could end a war by having a solidarity sleepover on the streets, like it would magically make everything stop. Also you could probably use that music video as the definition of white saviors
Imagen if Kony saw the music video
7:23 the kids shirt is in Hebrew saying שחה. for those of you that wants to know what the fuck that is it means he swam
(referring to a satellite) "the upkeep is astronomical"... Well said
5:56 there idea for the musical came from Michael Jackson’s Captain EO from Disneyland
an upside down pyramid tattoo is essentially a wifi tattoo
You know, there were a lot of things I was expecting when he started to show that music video. Fucking lasers was not one of those things.
The musical was actually very enjoyable and finding out who helped direct it blew my mind
So this is what south park was making fun of
Thriller aint got nothing on that music video.
1:31 - What's the name of the fish chilling in the small cave?
His heart was in the right place. You can’t help but feel bad for the guy. In the end they did what they wanted and got the entire world talking about Joseph Kony. It’s a shame that people tore Jason apart like they did; any average activist would become overwhelmed with that much constant criticism and pressure. At the end of the day he was just trying to make a positive impact on the LRA insurgency. It was sort of fucked up that the Ugandan gov. was trying to pretend that Kony wasn’t in Uganda or involved with Uganda (“come to Uganda! It’s an amazing tourist location and there’s absolutely no mutilated children here!”).. Although Kony may have been hiding out in surrounding nations, they are rebelling against the Uganda government. The LRA literally wears the Ugandan flag for fucks sake.
so where can I get that high quality PNG? I wants that shirt!
As horrible as that video was..... I bet they had fun making it
THE BEST Q&A
Man that singing is destroying my will to eat drink and procreate i think its an scp.
I really do not see what him being homosexual or not carries any gravity in this at all.
JESUS CHRIST HIS EAR IS TINY 1:19
So, I think Clooney's whole reasoning behind having a spy satellite is that he wants people to actually care about the fact that there are indicted war criminals just wandering around, free.
the thing about the "he was jacking it" allegation is that _his_ answer to the question was "nobody who was there at the time said i was," which is absolutely _not_ the same as "no." not that it matters
that musical is so fucking cringe haha
i watched the music video in its entirety - but the only thing i could focus on was internet historian humming and quietly singing along to himself in the background. an absolute legend
I remember having to do a year of R.E with 3 or 4 from the younger year when I was in sixth form. They got so excited about taking down Kony. They were going to change the world, and I was the asshole sat there laughing. I think about it so often.
Great video. You're a thorough and smart dude, internet historian. Extra bonus that you are funny as hell.
The fact that they can get people to do this dance for them is more impressive than anything else
The evanescent baritone hepatosplenomegaly embarrass because phone resultspreviously itch off a instinctive europe. tart, abusive sneeze
That musical is something else. Something made by aliens. It's so out of this world, I've no idea how someone didn't think it was a bad idea.
I didn't look at the time skip I regret it
That music video is the most American thing i've ever seen in my life.
Bruh I’ve just realized that the dance vid is basically a rip off of captain EO
That video is SO much worse than I imagined. It's on par with "Friday" by Rebecca Black. If you don't know what that is, you are blessed, do not look it up. You've been warned.
That end a war video feels like some Farenheit 451 ignorance shit
These midrolls are insane.
Obi- wan approved
end kony today, wakanda tomorrow
Oh oh Kony Has Type II diabetes how did he get his hands on sugar
11:07 Getting a little handsy there buddy, remember you're in a high school. Lmao
They should play that dance video at every single biden video
*IN* *BAD* *TIMES*
We demand the PNG
26:01 Oh hi it’s me don cheadle
7:25 I believe the shirt translates to “swam”... interesting
dude that effin video is unexpectedly fantastic. and this is coming from a guy that constantly fantasizes about armageddon.
Re: Satellites - "The upkeep is astronomical." ~Internet Historian
“We are here to end the world” 14:19
Right because if I had money and time to travel I would def go spend it in Uganda...
Seven minutes of pure, unfiltered cringe. An absolute treasure!
1:20 why are his ears so small?
After seeing the dance video i bleached my eyes
ppl on ted talks = scammer pos
31:12 i remember the vandalism lmao i live in lewisville
I thought the change the world song was from an episode of South Park I missed.
17:10 "What do you mean, 'shot'?" Lol, he's definitely from California
beer and weed the only way to wach that dancing thing
ah
"What do you mean by shot?" "They use the gun to shoot them." Woah, I never would have known.
That video seems like something directly out of South Park. It's so creepy yet funny.
Whats with moreno wearing the Australian army infantry beret lol
Irrelevant but, I swear I could listen to you speak for all eternity..
I want to pet that lionfish! will come back to see more fish. thx.
Note;Omar Al-Bashir,the courrupt leader of Sudan (the north one) has been overthrown as of 2018-2019.And the folks over Sudan are rebuilding there country after this warlord was illegitimately been ruling he country for over 30 long years which caused the country to collapse,hope fully they can get back on their feet and develop a sustainable living.After all this man caused countless deaths,the extreme poverty,the incredible price rise in everyday food items in the country and many more atrocities. Let’s just pray for the folks over there to let there children grow after all 30 is long af
LOL maybe Jon M. Chu should stick with those hilarious music video because most of the movies he directed suck.
About that that children get their hands CHOPPED OFF is F*** TRUE....I use to drive mail from Luxembourg to England in 2014 too 2016 ...it was when there was a very troubling times at the French-English Border (Eurotunnel ) and we had to wait for a day to get across ...but my point is their was 100s of children there.... some would come up and Beg for money or just some to EAT ....and THIS IS what got to me there was a few KIDS may be 9 to 11 years who were begging THEY HAD NO HANDS !!!! ...I was so sad as the TRUCKERS who had to wait as well were so CRUEL to them ...And not to say The POLICE !!
@rushlimbaugh @timtebow @ryanseacrest @taylorswift13 I would not expect to see those four accounts tweeted at together.
"I'ld be getting the fuck out". You make it sound so easy...
During the musical the one dude said they should go out and sleep in the streets like the kids do to raise awareness. Is there any worse idea than that?
Have you found the high quality pdf yet, IH?
Thank you for this very thorough Q&A and for giving Jason real understanding. I understand he made mistakes- a lot of things, as you said led up to this. However, thank you for recognizing the pressure, scope and mental health issues that Jason faced, as well as some of the reasons for some of the odd videos invisible Children put out. There is always more to the story. I'm not saying it excuses the mistakes, but instead, it helps us begin to understand the complexity of these issues.
My god that was the sound of the Dark Mistress from Dungeon Keeper at 13:36 *shudder*
A year later and I finally finished the whole music video. 2020 seemed like the time for it.
God I hate the media
i never seen that music video but i do remember something very similar clip reanacted in BGworld Rewind 2016 , does it have any co relation ?
or was it 2015 i dont remember
i dont understand, you repeatedly show the fourth estate video with a very visible publish date of 2011, while constantly mentioning it was from 2013/after kony 2012 and thats where the money went that uh , doesnt make any sense from what youre showing? wasnt the fourth estate the previous effort?
When he starts talking about the wanting to get that pink shirt made... I literally die laughing. I wish he had it for us to buy from him 😂
Isn't that the song from Captain EO?!
George Clooney and his satellite were actually instrumental in finding evidence of the genocide in Darfur believe it or not
Ngl I like his voice. EDIT: Talking about the singer.
Am i crazy or is that in the music video the same set as in community?
Are we gonna talk about 17:02? What do you mean shot? They used a gun to shoot them
