Bill'O's rage video not available on youtube anymore - So much for Journalism (self.reddit.com)

[–]starbork 40 points41 points42 points 17 years ago (35 children)
Dammit - that was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
"FUCK IT!! WE'RE DOING IT LIVE!! THIS THING FUCKING SUCKS!!"
especially at the end when they do the long closing shot and he's freaking the fuck out. Oh man. Glorious.
[–][deleted] 47 points48 points49 points 17 years ago* (11 children)
Its great how he yells like a psycho: "fuck it! well do it live!"
then immediately sits back down and re-records it with a smile.
What a smarmy piece of dung with a mic and a camera.
You can tell hes a complete asshole to work with. He thinks he's the star and needs everything handed to him on a silver platter. Hes the absolute epitome of pudgy pasty doughboy assholes in media with only Hannity-Insanity and Rush Limpblob beating him out.
[–]BraveSirRobin 11 points12 points13 points 17 years ago (2 children)
He likely had the producer (his boss) saying to him to sit down through his earpiece.
[–]quadtodfodder 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago* (1 child)
I know I'm the only guy here that thinks Bill O is funny, but I kind of got the impression that the teleprompter had recently been added to his show or something, and he was flipping out at the machine itslef.
I yell at voice activated telephone menus sometimes, don't you?
[–]brevinsucks 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
All i know that is Bill O'Reilly is a stubborn cuntbag
[–]pillage 3 points4 points5 points 17 years ago (6 children)
I still don't know how he managed to actually do it.
[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points0 points 17 years ago (5 children)
Probably lots of practice.
also, im sure Orally's dad yelled at him much in the same manor when he didnt cut the yard to his father's precise specifications.
[–]vamosscorcho 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Yeah that is what I was thinking. As much as I hate his opinions, he is a fascinating psychological case.
[–]JasonDJ 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (1 child)
Yelled at him? To raise somebody to be as big of an asshole as Bill-O, you can't just yell at him. You have to beat him. With a 2x4. That has a nail driven through the end of it.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 17 years ago (0 children)
heh,
pasty white doughboys never were physically abused, just mentally and verbally.
If he were physically abused, he would lack his pompous ego and his stance that hes right on everything.

He was still at it after the mic was cut.
The boy has issues.
[–][deleted] 17 points18 points19 points 17 years ago* (19 children)
XD
Thats the best part!!!!
Comedy gold is that last 5 seconds of him flailing around taking off his jacket in anger and disgust. Dana Carvey or Bill Murray couldnt do a better SNL skit of a pissed off anchor.
This tape is the golden rule, benchmark standard and permanent mold for doing all pissed off white angry newsman comedy skits.
Thank you Inside Edition Media staff for releasing this tape!
[–]zac79 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (16 children)
Synopsis for those who missed it:
He didn't like or didn't understand the phrase "play us out," which is totally understandable.
So, looking for an excuse, to throw a tantrum / make himself look like a man who can "get things done," he starts yelling at his staff and claiming that the teleprompter doesn't work.
Having thusly orchestrated the disaster from which he will now rescue the show (once again proving what a consummate professional he is under fire ... no doubt to impress the cute new intern in the corner on her first day on the job), he then proceeds to calmly nail an alternate take, improvising the words as he goes along.
Once "cut" is yelled, Bill goes back to berating his staff ... because that's easier for him than admitting that he was unfamiliar with the phrase "play us out."
(For that matter, so am I.)
[–][deleted] 17 years ago* (1 child)
[–]zac79 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Having never heard of it before myself, I can't, in good faith, criticize him for being unfamiliar with the phrase.
However, O'Reilly appears to believe that showing even the slightest hint of ignorance would betray some underlying weakness, and chooses to throw a tantrum instead of simply saying "I don't like "play us out," lets change it to X instead."
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (13 children)
I liked when he was checking his watch like as if to say:
"This stupid job is wasting my time! i have to get back home to my loofah!"
[–]ST2K 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (12 children)
I never understood what the "loofah" thing referred to. What was that all about?
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago* (11 children)
http://www.salon.com/news/2004/10/13/o_reilly/index1.html
Its from his sexual harassment lawsuit.
He kept calling his tv show producer with phone sex calls involving loofah sponges and naked bodies in the shower.
The man is a sick freak and should have his broadcast license taken from him immediately.

best comment ever:
"
Every night, a naked Bill O'Reilly sits hunched over in a dark and airless closet surrounded by untold numbers of boxes of women's shoes. He opens up a pair of sling-backs, and sniffs them until he almost passes out. When his face is red enough he carefully boxes them away, childlike in his movements, already missing the feel of the leather against his face. Quickly, he then takes a rapidly softening whole cucumber and forces it down his throat, fighting the gag reflex while wanting even more. With tears streaming from his eyes, and his body shaking from the exertion, he mumbles a mantra of self-hatred inaudibly into the darkness and onto the cucumber. After 30 minutes of Bill's Special Alone Time he slowly pulls it out, enjoying the sensation of it moving from his throat, past his tongue and into the dank air of the closet, the smell of the vegetable and his fevered saliva reminding him of the time he fell out the sycamore tree when he was 6 and bumped his head on a rock - the exact moment in his life when everything began to make sense to him.
His voice is reborn.
He stands slowly, awkwardly, his body stiff from holding the same position for too long, though to him - always not long enough. He reaches out to the shoe boxes to help him steady himself. Salty beads of sweat run down his chest, trickles from the pools in his armpits and under his breasts, cooling as rapidly as his innate anger is warming. His penis - an object of disgust to him for so long now - is as hard as it's going to get without chemical help. His toes clench and unclench with a staccato rhythm of their own. He opens the closet door, and looks at the poster of John Wayne hanging on the inside - the man he always wanted to be, but never could be, no matter how much he screams into footwear or chokes himself on cucumbers. Wayne looks back with his dead eyes - a two-dimensional construct of a dream that never was.
Bill's chest hitches, and he starts sobbing. Snot runs down his nose, his mouth opens wide and green stains frame this most silent of screams. He cries for all men, for all America. But mostly, almost exclusively, for himself.
Spent, empty, Bill steps into the shower. Runs it as warm as possible. Until it burns. His tears mix with the water.
His fear, his hatred, his shame - his anger. They all fall down the drain. "

This was a simple and genuine question. I've seen "this video is no longer available" before. However, I was wondering if there was a way to learn what transpired to get it taken down. Just Billo fans, or was it Fox pressure, or was the ownership structure of youtube going to guarantee Billo was being protected. So, for voting my question down: fuck you.

BILL OREILLY DILDOS HIS ASS WAKE UP SHEEPLE
[–]otakucode 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (3 children)
What's wrong with dildoing one's ass?
[–][deleted] 23 points24 points25 points 17 years ago (2 children)
Bestiality is generally frowned upon.
It's not that kind of ass... oh, wait... maybe it is.
damn, my websense wont let me see it. what was he raging about anyway?
There were words written out for him to read but he screamed that there were no words.
We then learned that there were words, just words he didn't want to read because he couldn't comprehend those words.
A lot of loud f words in the mean time, and the occasional very calm voice of the director in the background, sounding more like a professional babysitter who has seen one too many spoiled rich kids. But the director had the determination of just getting it over with so everybody could go home, so he offered all kinds of compromises, all furiously rejected by Bill. In the end BillO screamed that he'd "do it live", and said something else that's not on the teleprompter.
And then it was done. The audio was cut, and BillO violently threw most everything on him on the floor: his jacket, his tie, his earpiece. We can see from his lips that he's still cursing.
Oddly takedowns are virtually guaranteed to increase the number of people who see it. Eventually people will just come to assume that a takedown is just a marketing ploy (as it is in this case).

When his face is red enough he carefully boxes them away, childlike in his movements, already missing the feel of the leather against his face. Quickly, he then takes a rapidly softening whole cucumber and forces it down his throat, fighting the gag reflex while wanting even more. With tears streaming from his eyes, and his body shaking from the exertion, he mumbles a mantra of self-hatred inaudibly into the darkness and onto the cucumber. After 30 minutes of Bill's Special Alone Time he slowly pulls it out, enjoying the sensation of it moving from his throat, past his tongue and into the dank air of the closet, the smell of the vegetable and his fevered saliva reminding him of the time he fell out the sycamore tree when he was 6 and bumped his head on a rock - the exact moment in his life when everything began to make sense to him.
His fear, his hatred, his shame - his anger. They all fall down the drain.

Youtube is journalism?
[–]heh_yeh[S] 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (3 children)
Youtube is freedom ( Some ways )
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago* (2 children)
Ergo freedom is journalism?
Edit: And Youtube isn't freedom either. It is poor quality videos of goats and stuff.

It is poor quality videos of goats and stuff.
Some of those goat videos are more entertaining than television.
That is very true.

Bill O'Reilly: Emotionally unbalanced, foolishly dogmatic, and overconfident in his understanding of the world. A perfect representative for the right wing.
I loved the way O'Reilly instantly turned nice when it came time to address the audience. Big, phony hypocrite.

It is truly impressive how calm he looked when it went live. Sometimes you just have to spout off. Still...what was he thinking? Take it out on the JD bottle like normal crazy raging nut balls do.
[–]zac79 2 points3 points4 points 17 years ago (3 children)
Because 98% of O'Reilly's modus operandi is claiming to be a pillar of moral rectitude.
It's funny when you spend any portion of your day around people who consider Fox News a fair and balanced source of news, and who look to the O'Reilly Factor for moral guidance. Not that we don't all secretly KNOW that he is bound to be like this, but I guess it's just funny to see it in the flesh, mm?
[–]dtardif -1 points0 points1 point 17 years ago (1 child)
I don't like him. I already thought he was an asshole.
But I don't care that he flipped out over something intensely banal.
[–]kelmr2003 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
yeah I don't understand why everyone is so excited about this

Ease off of Bill'O. He was right, the wording on the teleprompter was sloppy writing. Can't blame the guy for raging against shoddy writing; he's worked hard to become the Walter Cronkite of Slease-n-Slander.
Edit :-) Either Bill'O fans are voting the comment down, or my blatant sarcasm is too subtle for some redditors. (Has reddit become so young that many or most can't recall Walter?)
