Gen Alphas, before the rise of ai voices, people used to do impressions of the Presidents voices and make music videos out of them, primarily during elections. And most of them weren’t technically videos, they were what we call, Flash Animations, basically an entire animation running in Adobe flash player. Political satire was very different back then, no gaming videos, or anything involving Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and only a bit of stuff involving Obama. Instead, we had these kinds of videos.
@@iyoutubeperson4336 Yeah I don't give him a lot of props. Even if Rumsfeld and Cheney were pulling the strings a lot of the time, he still could've gone against them.
I still have a hard time sympathizing with him, especially since the insurgency mentioned in the video was basically his fault for invading Iraq in the first place.
The US isn't being "drawn into" anything. It is deliberately involving itself in everything and in every country. It's called being an Empire. Quit asslicking.
A lot of it is due to us being strong militarily and economically. Though the end of ww2 is what really put us in this position since we were the only power, aside from the ussr, that came out better than we started. Then we got paranoid about communism taking over the world so we set out trying to curb it. Whether we were right or wrong to do this is up for debate, but now we're trying to clean up the mess the cold war left with terrorism, N. Korea, Iran, etc. Imo if we were to step down as "world police" it'd be much worse. The balance of power would dramatically shift towards China and Russia and they arent exactly known for having the best of intentions, the US isn't either, but I'd say we're still slightly better
I've spent the last 17 years trying to figure out what this darned tune is called, and I don't want anyone else to be bothered as much or for as long as I was. It's "Turkey in the Straw." The song's been around since the 1820s, with various lyrics.
No year is objectively "good" or "bad." It depends a lot on each individual's life experiences. Besides, all these havoc we worry about from year-to-year seems to be forgotten a few years later

“Kim Jong is throwing fits.” “There’s an infidada brewing in the Gaza Strip.” “The deficits are rising.” “My approval rating’s in a dive!” “The housing market is bout to pop!” “With record profits at the pump!” “‘Cuz every problem in the world, lands right here on my desk!” “It’s hard to rule the free world, but I’m doing the best I can.” What year was this made, exactly? Edit: The second quote certainly aged well.
You know, you may hate or love George W Bush, but we can agree on one thing. He tried his best. He gave it all he had. He may have ended his last term badly, yet he tried. I admire his as a person and a president for that.
This comment is so cheesy, it clogged my arteries. But yes, he did try his best to ruin the world and succeeded. And for that, I hate him as a person and a president.
Yeah... not the shenanigans around Iraq though. The administration manipulated information, downplayed certain sources and exaggerated others to get the public on side for an ultimately unjustified invasion which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Pretty hard to forgive the administration for that one, and ultimately, the buck stops at the president's desk.
In its day, this was a parody criticism of Bush adm. After 5 years, it looks like a true heart tribute to a man that had to face such a troubled time. "Cause every problem in the world lands right here on my desk...It's hard to rule the free world but I'm doing the best I can..." Some of us miss you, Mr. President. Because change...we can't.
I have to say 2005 was my most favorite year of the decade.Sure tragedies like Hurricane Katrina occured and Terry Schiavo died,but it was better than the rest.Just graduate high school,entered college.I just loved 2005! Hard to believe that half a decade has already passed since that incredible year. 2005 I LOVE YOU ALWAYS.Great video btw!
@@air2091 It was my great-grandmother, but people all over the world were sadden with John Paul II passing away. There was a huge international reaction to his death. A few months back, I came across Peter Jennings' final broadcast (the night before John Paul II died) and he noted that 50% of the world never knew another pope in order to give people an idea of how long John Paul II was the pope. I was among that 50%.

Watching this now and the sentiment that some things change and others stay the same never fails.
Gen Alphas, before the rise of ai voices, people used to do impressions of the Presidents voices and make music videos out of them, primarily during elections. And most of them weren’t technically videos, they were what we call, Flash Animations, basically an entire animation running in Adobe flash player. Political satire was very different back then, no gaming videos, or anything involving Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and only a bit of stuff involving Obama. Instead, we had these kinds of videos.
To think the 90s were still recent when this was made is wild
the rise of AI voices was like last year lol
@@rtcp2020 it was like 17 years ago when this video was made so.. eh not really, kind of recent i guess
This really reminds you of how much shit Bush had to deal with, puts into perspective how hard his job was.
True, he dug his own grave on some of it. But a lot wasn't him.
@@halleck3 yeah, it was kind of dumb to blame katrina on him. The rest though was his fault
@@iyoutubeperson4336 Yeah I don't give him a lot of props. Even if Rumsfeld and Cheney were pulling the strings a lot of the time, he still could've gone against them.
I still have a hard time sympathizing with him, especially since the insurgency mentioned in the video was basically his fault for invading Iraq in the first place.
@@iyoutubeperson4336 I mean, he completely failed to help millions of people after Katrina. That's why they blame him
Glad to see our problems haven’t really changed
Nah, it's gotten a lot worse. At least people were less cringe back when I was in school.
I cant stop thinking about this video for some reason
Why can't we just be a country that minds it's own business.
Ask Obama
iHeartU2ube
Please. It's been like that for decades.
Bloody good point
The US isn't being "drawn into" anything.
It is deliberately involving itself in everything and in every country. It's called being an Empire.
Quit asslicking.
A lot of it is due to us being strong militarily and economically. Though the end of ww2 is what really put us in this position since we were the only power, aside from the ussr, that came out better than we started. Then we got paranoid about communism taking over the world so we set out trying to curb it. Whether we were right or wrong to do this is up for debate, but now we're trying to clean up the mess the cold war left with terrorism, N. Korea, Iran, etc. Imo if we were to step down as "world police" it'd be much worse. The balance of power would dramatically shift towards China and Russia and they arent exactly known for having the best of intentions, the US isn't either, but I'd say we're still slightly better
This is almost 20 years old
Imagine these people in 05 time travelling to 2025, which is literally next year
And they'd probably run back to 2005 in a heartbeat. However, we'll see how fast they're running back this time next yr.
I've spent the last 17 years trying to figure out what this darned tune is called, and I don't want anyone else to be bothered as much or for as long as I was.
It's "Turkey in the Straw." The song's been around since the 1820s, with various lyrics.
Thank you
Yes; classic, with *Auld Lang Syne” at the end
Thank you
Its amazing that I was only 3 years old when all this was happening. Yet it all seems so surreal like something that happened in the distant past
It's so god damn catchy my god I can't stop.
I know. It’s the best year in review one they made
They've been hoping for a better year for 10 years now, but it's gotten worse. No wonder they haven't made a 2015 one yet...
You poor poor child
They never made one and after 2014 they stopped making them until 2020 if you want to see 2020 just go on their TH-cam page and look at recent videos
No year is objectively "good" or "bad." It depends a lot on each individual's life experiences. Besides, all these havoc we worry about from year-to-year seems to be forgotten a few years later
@@scholaroftheworldalternatehist you aren't exactly wrong. I don't even remember what happened then that made me make this comment.
Let’s hope the year 221 turns out better than 220
This is the best year review you guys have made
I'm Hoping 2021 will bring more *Brighter days!*
We're all hoping 2021 brings brighter days. This year has sucked. It seems like everyone is going through something regardless if it has any connections with the coronavirus or the protests.
I lost my uncle the day after Easter and lost my longtime next door neighbor the day after my birthday.
@@finchborat Wow I'm so sorry for your loss and Yes I swear Next year better be better then this year was to this new decade. there's always hope and the Corona-virus will be over soon! When they have a vaccine cure!
@@MilesRobinson2001 A vaccine is now out and it looks like coronavirus cases are falling again. I hope that some of what you were aiming for has been achieved.
@@MrJames1471 that's good I took the vaccine too. Just to keep the cases falling and not going up again
It didn't
Its been 15 years folks!
A decade and a half has passed, where does the time go?
Reliving my childhood through JibJab clips is de way.
“Kim Jong is throwing fits.”
“There’s an infidada brewing in the Gaza Strip.”
“The deficits are rising.”
“My approval rating’s in a dive!”
“The housing market is bout to pop!”
“With record profits at the pump!”
“‘Cuz every problem in the world, lands right here on my desk!”
“It’s hard to rule the free world, but I’m doing the best I can.”
What year was this made, exactly?
Edit: The second quote certainly aged well.
Only difference is Biden's best is nowhere close to good enough.
My guess would be sometime when Bush Jr.
was president.
do you need the exact year?
@@finchborat Bush was absolutely worse in every way.
@@_blank-_ I'll take Bush over Biden. Biden has screwed up faster than Bush.
@@Mr.Robert1How did this fly over your head?
You know, you may hate or love George W Bush, but we can agree on one thing. He tried his best. He gave it all he had. He may have ended his last term badly, yet he tried. I admire his as a person and a president for that.
Sammy N ah yes because you don’t agree with a person they automatically become a war criminal .
This comment is so cheesy, it clogged my arteries.
But yes, he did try his best to ruin the world and succeeded. And for that, I hate him as a person and a president.
@@harshbansal7982 Bush is a war criminal. He admitted himself (albeit in a gaffe) when talking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Yeah... not the shenanigans around Iraq though. The administration manipulated information, downplayed certain sources and exaggerated others to get the public on side for an ultimately unjustified invasion which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Pretty hard to forgive the administration for that one, and ultimately, the buck stops at the president's desk.
This popped into my head tn for no reason
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 from Rhode Island
“There’s an intifada in the Gaza Strip”
Aged well
Dawg there's been wars in Gaza for decades, why do you think it started in 2023? That's insane.
In its day, this was a parody criticism of Bush adm. After 5 years, it looks like a true heart tribute to a man that had to face such a troubled time.
"Cause every problem in the world lands right here on my desk...It's hard to rule the free world but I'm doing the best I can..."
Some of us miss you, Mr. President.
Because change...we can't.
God, 10 years ago...
@@dinosaurlord1754 Now this comment is 2 years ago
Can't believe this was 10 years ago, wow lol.

I have to say 2005 was my most favorite year of the decade.Sure tragedies like Hurricane Katrina occured and Terry Schiavo died,but it was better than the rest.Just graduate high school,entered college.I just loved 2005! Hard to believe that half a decade has already passed since that incredible year. 2005 I LOVE YOU ALWAYS.Great video btw!
My favorite jibjab.
RIP Flash Videos 1996-2020.
Better than youtube rewind
In comparison to 2020, 2005 sounds like a pretty good year.
And you're correct. Aside from Katrina and John Paul II, Peter Jennings, and my great grandmother passing away, 2005 was a good year.
finchborat the difference is, (rip your grandma tho) those didn’t impact the world
@@air2091 It was my great-grandmother, but people all over the world were sadden with John Paul II passing away. There was a huge international reaction to his death.
A few months back, I came across Peter Jennings' final broadcast (the night before John Paul II died) and he noted that 50% of the world never knew another pope in order to give people an idea of how long John Paul II was the pope. I was among that 50%.
finchborat ye but i would still rule a pandemic, murder hornets, Iran USA, and 4 billion animals dying worse
@@air2091 I agree on that completely. I definitely agree 2020 is way worse than 2005. Sorry I didn't pick up on what you were saying sooner.
all the problem in 2005, seem still are problem for 2015.
And 2019. Even worse with a certain idiot
@@shortstuff780 wtf are you talking about??
@@vjekop932 He is talking about Trump I guess :D
AK V this time more about China than Iran though
@@shortstuff780 welcome to 2020
It's been 8 years and this video STILL makes me laugh!
16 years and it still makes me laugh
Rewatched this once this morning and laughed the then I hit repeat and stopped laughing when I realized that this is basically the very beginning of why we are where we are now.
A part of all recessions is not 100% congress or the president, but generally the Federal Reserve, as in 2008.
This is definitely the best one.
