I GOT NEWS FOR YOU BUDDY!.....i hate you. ;)
Jokes aside, this guy is nothing compared to what most political/news commentators, including myself, get on the daily. This video was just too funny to me, not to share. :)
Philip DeFranco first
DO5 and his fans can f*ck off. You did the right thing exposing and bringing attention to their abuse. You're a good guy.
Philip DeFranco you the best fuck everyone else DeFranco life
I hate you too :D but i love yo face :p
Philly D told said he hated me
I don't know about you
I feel damn special~
You deserve threats, how dare you try to help children who are being abused, you MONSTER!!
Cory Armstrong 😂
Nice b8
yeah! stop being a good person! :P
Why am I reading the caps parts in Philips voice??? XD
Daddy O' Five has fans?
Reality is stranger than fiction I guess
The Ace Of Spades little kids that think he's funny
The Ace Of Spades could say that about lots of TH-cam channels. like annoying orange or Freddy or pewpew
Onision has a fanbase too. The internet is a strange place.
The Ace Of Spades they want to get spanked by their daddy.
Kaija Schmauss
I used to be a fan of Onision. Mostly for his blunt honesty. Realized that as time went on, he was too insufferable for me to deal with, and his advice tends to be rather poor.
I honestly don't think that dude in the red bandana is going to do shit to you Phil. He's just a 14 year old edge lord. He probably had to watch Mission Impossible to rev himself up just to make that video.
Twisted Melody “I’ve got some news for you... I hate you.” Has me cracking up! Lol!
Or a sniff of bath salts for courage.........
He recorded that video on an IPhone.
We all know that he will kill us all one day
Oh god. Red bandana man hates you. YoU hAVe tO TakE DOwn yOuR ChAnnEL NOw
With the Julius Caesar play, I've said this before; Shakespeare's plays will always be updated to make it relatable to the audience. How many children/adults like Shakespeare or even understand it properly these days? This is not a direct threat or attack on a POTUS and will never be.
As an actress, I honestly feel like storming the stage is too much. I highly doubt they would like it if someone stormed in on their place of work because of a piece they had reported on. If you want to protest, you're more than welcome to. But please leave that to outside the venue and outside the play itself.
All of this but especially the bit about storming the stage.
They clearly don't realize or care how INCREDIBLY rude they were to interrupt it like that! It's like I said in my comment, I don't care how righteous you think you are, you DO NOT interrupt a play for any reason (excepting emergencies, etc). I'm not an actress and even I understand this!
Dahlia Tonx I agree with you about Julius Caesar.
this channel is full of leftists, no wonder I don't like it
Honestly not sure why you're involving politics without making an actual point, but okay.
'no one died, but they did have to blur out a dick' - Philip DeFranco 2017
Should be his presidential slogan.
It's good that you always have armed security at events, because of the wide variety of things you talk about and how willingly you show your opinions it is completely understandable. Stay safe, and keep making some awesome content.
someone needs to tell the guy in that video his forest camouflage doesnt blend him into the trailer park hes standing in
Okay so Julius Cesar is a play about Brutus, not about Cesar. Brutus as the main character loves Cesar and is completely torn by the idea of killing the man who is literally his mentor. He kills Cesar, because he is a threat to the Republic, by the end of the play however it's implied that the republic dies not because of Julius Cesar's attempts to undermine democracy, but by his assassin's inadvertent undermining of democracy. Brutus haunted by the death of Cesar gives in as Antoine and Augustus's armies close in and dies knowing that Rome must live on and in order for it to do so he and the other assassins must die. The play is not a story about how rebellion and violence against leaders leads to a positive outcome, it's about the ends not justifying the means. While I don't think the Trump comparison is even remotely accurate I think if some of these protesters who stormed the stage and some of the news anchors who complained about it on twitter actually read the play instead of just getting a stick suppository because of the optics of a president with knife wounds they might be able to appreciate the message the play was trying to put forth. Of course I haven't actually seen this version of the play, so it could be the only message they were trying to put forth was "Trump is evil, let's all go and kill him", but with a play like Julius Cesar, in which the title character is more or less martyred by the end of the play, I have trouble believing that's all they wanted to communicate. If they were trying to go that route I feel like Macbeth would have been a better choice. Just saying.
You should start beginning every episode with *"Damn- Beautiful- People..."*
Or even better, "Sup ya beautiful child beaters"
Jonah Brown WTF i see you on destiny videos and now here? lmao
as a theatre fan and actress, you NEVER storm the stage. you're interrupting someone's hard work and passion. almost like if you stormed the set of a news channel you don't agree with. It's tasteless, impatient, and childish.
Taylor Candelaria Yes, passion with pretending to kill a president. if that's someone's passion, they should go die themselves.
LynxKITTEHGOD well that's a very violent response. And I'm not advocating for killing a president. I don't thin k violence solves anything. And either way, I don't think that's what the play is really trying to relay. I think it's taking a modern figure that we all know and making the play more to the modern viewers interest. more And that's what theatre is. it's to tell a story that the audience can get into.
LynxKITTEHGOD The only people who have a say in the show pertaining to who the characters are include the artistic director of the venue, and the director of the show. The performers on stage and the technicians who put their time and passion into the show are told what to do, they don't choose who each character is. To interrupt a performance in such a way is disrespectful to every single person who put that show up when they had no say. Could some of the performers/tech be against it, such. As a electrician i have hated many shows i have worked on. The problem is if they fight against it, they are replaced, and that is money you don't get. This is just as disrespectful as the man who plugged his phone into the set before Hand of God. It is ridiculous.
If I got the chance I would burn down a cnn building
Demon Killer that is terrorism
Could we all just please stop the press for a moment and appreciate the fact that the dude filming the interruption in the theatre is shouting "GERBILS! YOU'RE ALL JOSEPHS GERBILS!" instead of "Goebbels", which is the historically correct character he's probably trying to allude to? Bless his tiny socks.
"Bless his tiny sock." Omg, lol! Yes, tiny socks.
Lol...tiny socks. I like you. Can we be friends? XD
that Alex Jones impression was immense hahaha
James Kingston oh hey James
Right?? I looked away when he started it and when I looked back in the middle of it I was like, "what?!" It was so realistic haha
suuuuuuuup
Phil, I am a moderate conservative and I have to thank you. Because of you I learned about the Julius Caesar with the Obama character and I immediately stopped giving a shit about the play. It is fair play, if you do it with Obama it is fair to do it with Trump and the truth is, the moral of the play is something we as a country need to remember. I am annoyed by my fellow conservatives acting like fools. Ben is correct, let the play go, if people are there for the actual story, they will understand the moral, if they are there to see Trump die in effigy, they need mental help. We need to start compromising between the left and right, otherwise we will tear ourselves apart.
Yes!! You put it perfectly.
BelleDreamer7 We need more open minded people like you. Thank you for being awesome :)
BelleDreamer7 love your open mindedness! So many people on both sides are always so quick to get angry over a simple subject that needs no anger but rather a quick minute to think about it
BelleDreamer7 I consider myself an Independent, but lean very much to the right. I never cared about the play, it is free speech, but violence is a total 'nother thing.
"No one died, but they did have to blur out a dick." Sounds like those slo-mo guys know how to party :P
As an actor: ohhhh I hate those people that stormed the stage. Like gtfo. Do your protesting some other time- actors, crew, etc. work REALLY hard to put on a production and it's sooo disrespectful to interrupt a show.
Strangely enough, it was the fans of Do5 that upset me most at the time all of this was going on. I watched quite a few of the "Save Do5" videos, and they were all made by young males (average age seemed to be about 12-13), and several of them admitted to being abused in their OWN lives. I couldn't help but think that seeing other children being abused was somehow "cathartic" for them. It was truly sad - and there was absolutely NO reasoning with them.
Quantum Chaos watching movies about abuse, cancer, suicide etc can help sufferers and their families but no one is actually hurt. its upsetting that they would watch abuse to help them cope with there own instead of trying to stop the cycle
Unfortunately, that's why it's a cycle.
Looking at some faux-badass little kid in camo standing in a dingy, desolate yard who feels afraid to cuss? Yeah, doesn't surprise me that the fans are abused themselves.
sometimes I wonder if certain younger abused victims cannot see it as abuse, and see it as a joke because that was how they were brought up themselves- it's the norm for them, if they call it abuse their brain would have to deal with the shitshow of a fact that they're also being abused, by somebody who is meant to love them and take care of them.
how could you watch those do5 videos tho? there so bad.
As someone doesn't support trump or clinton, but enjoys theater, Julius Caesar is the story of how murder is terrible. I think that as long as an adaptation keeps the message of the original, put in whatever characters you want as long as the story stays the same. I would call the production "murder porn" if it showed Caesar as trump and he did something that wasn't in the original and could only be done by the Donald, then it showed Hillary Clinton stabbing trump. That would be inappropriate. This? No. It is the story of how killing a leader kills the society. But maybe that's just my theater-loving bias.
The_Hoagie not just that, but virtually none of the news stations have covered that there was an Obama version, either by not researching, or more than likely on purpose
Nah its you being reasonable
Snorlaxation Why is it more than likely? I'm usually on the side that the media is pushing their narrative, though.
The_Hoagie hulk hoagie! I just got your avatar lol
Storming the stage goes against free speech. Free speech goes both ways. You have a right to express your thoughts and opinions but this also means that you have no right to shut someone else down (in this case, the play) because you disagree with it. Free speech is about listening to the other side and letting them speak. These protesters did not do that. They interrupted the play, which to an extent is interrupting free speech and free expression.
Skylos Free speech has nothing to do with how citizens talk to each other. While I think those looney Trump supporters are idiots, it has nothing to do with free speech. That was just disorderly conduct.
The only way free speech can be attacked is if the government does it. TH-cam censoring videos, plays being interrupted, etc. have nothing to do with free direct.
This is the kind of stuff I hear from a lot of pro-censorship people.
Newsflash buddy, whenever most people talk about free speech, they do not talk about it from a legal standpoint but from a standpoint on principle. Also, whether it is legally free speech or not, it's still wrong on a moral standpoint and we both know it. All you are doing by saying "lol you are wrong cuz free speech legally means this" is moving the goalpost.
Also, when I now said censorship I meant people silencing other people, and not the strict legal standpoint, since I am assuming that will be your next reply unless I am explicitly explaining that, which most other people would take as a given.
Laura Loomer felt so strongly about this play she wanted to protest, but not strongly enough to pay her own legal fees.
How dare you hate child abuse and point it out!!! It upsets the abusers!!!
Sammie Wren won't somebody please think of the abusers?!??
Sammie Wren *MY DAD WILL BE VERY TRIGGERED BY THIS*
I love that hater saying defranco is going down trying to look all scary and edgy. when hes hiding his own face because his scared he will be exposed to the public. how pathetic
Roy and he wasn't wearing pants
Frank... I did not notice that, I had to watch that again to see and then I laughed my ass off.
Roy well yeah obviously fucktard otherwise he'd go to prison
someones a bit fucking mad. chill out a little?
Roy
and one of the things they are angry about is..
*gasp*
CUSS WORDS!
First of all I'd definitely recommend reading Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeares better plays. The very act of setting the play in modern times rather than the traditional Ancient Roman setting is clearly trying to send the message that the issues of the play are still poignant today. I think people have a right to protest it, but that protest shouldn't block or stop another person's right to free expression. It's a saddening sight to see so many people today trying to silence each other for having differeing views. The whole point of free expression is to ensure dialogue between two vastly different ideologies remains open.
Phil, I work with theatre productions that are open to the public, to see people storming the stage frightens me. Working with different types of actors and people for the past few years I know how much work and dedication goes into theatre productions. Being very close to the theatre life, I am worried for the actors and their safety. They are portraying their art, their character in a way that they were hired, and selected for, in short they are doing their job. If people know they will have an issue with it, then they can simply not see it. Or, they can calmly speak to the actors after the show and state their concerns. Safety should be a priority, for everyone involved. I applaud the group on how they handled the situations and were able to continue with the performance.
"Damn beautiful people" has to be your intro next video Phil please! 😂
Evan Laleman 100% agree 😂😂
only if it's in Alex Jones voice XD
And i wouldve gotten away with it if it wasnt for that meddling defranco
How very _dare_ they oppose obvious and blatant child abuse, right?? Fuck that Defranco guy 😂 Those awful monsters should be ashamed, in prison, have no public following or support, and never be allowed custody of children again. What sick pieces of shit.
6:50 - 7:23 made me oh so happy. I think you should keep that up every time you talk about Alex Jones. The kids and their Pokémon, I knew it!
"You are all gerbils! You are all gerbils!"
Good to know, we Americans still can't pronounce Göbbels and think that Shakespeare plays are Nazi propaganda....? Also, if you get offended by a 400 year old play; I don't think you really should be calling people you oppose snowflakes for being offended about equally stupid things. Just saying.
People aren't offended by the play itself they're offended by the depiction of the assassination of the current president lmao. There's a difference.
@Aditya Chavarkar small subsets, maybe. But #assassinateTrump was trending on Twitter for several days. It’s not a small subset of the left that makes threats. Johnny Depp threatened to assassinate hi. Madonna threatened to bomb the White House. Kathy Griffin posed with a severed Trump head. Threats are quite literally mainstream on the left
@@Jordan-bv7on you named three people and said “they aren’t small subsets”😂
That Alex Jones impression was actually so good
"The same people who made Pokemon, faked the moon landing" LOL
so nasa worked with the japanese to make those human/animal hybrids...makes total sense now
Imagine in Alex Jones Voice: That's where the whole concept of Mewtwo came from, IRL human-animal hybrid clones carried out by lizard people aliens.
yes that bloody pokekeyman go is the devil and Stanley Kubrick is the executive producer of Pokekeyman Go. cause after all he was the one who apparently directed the moon landing.
In regards to the Carrie Fisher story: I've been living with depression for 13 years now and it was only last year when I was open about it. I received help and encouragement from those in my life, and I went and got medical help. It was definitely the best thing for me and I can only try and encourage others to be open too and get the help they need ♥ Stay strong.
There will never be a line, everything in life is a grey area. The only rational solution is to take things in a case by case basis.
Also, hilarious Alex Jones parody.
That "threatening" video didn't feel so threatening hahaha. Hella cringy, though.
'damn beautiful people'... Sounds like a compliment 😂
mrPanchiPan I got news for you... uh... I hate you
That guy is definitely going to end up on NeckbeardRPG
he sounds at most like a total pushover
I pity that guy. Must've been bullied regularly... by his parents.
DO5 fan: makes a video where he threatens DeFranco directly
DO5 fan: úploads it in a private group where DeFranco can't see it
You're right that guy is stupid AF 😂
Tess Courtes The epitome of an "Internet Gangster "
i love how you break things down and open them up for a conversation. I appreciate that you don't "tell" me how to feel or what to think. You lay a story open and show all the pages and let me decide. Thank you!
I watch The Defranco Fam channel also and when you were talking about the treats and how you have security, all I could think about is when the person broke into your home when you were out of town. As a mom those are the things that keep me up at night. How do you deal the all that pressure and stress? Having a family to protect must make it difficult for you to talk about certain topics sometimes...Love your show though. I'm glad you take the time to cover difficult things and that you're not bias. My husband and I watch every night!! And we are HUGE fans of the always adorable Trey!! Also at 32 weeks pregnant with 2 kids under the age of 4, I feel like Lindsey is my mommy soulmate lol
The people who are upset about the Julius Caesar/Donald Trump look alike have absolutely no idea what the play is about. The murder of Caesar is in no way shown as a good thing. The lack of basic critical analysis is infuriating.
HrothgarXII but how is the play played out? did they change anything else besides Trump? Who replaced Augustus and Mark Anthony?
i agree. context matters. id be no more bothered if instead of the Donald trump lookalike, the queen of England or someone else was playing the role of Julius Caesar. It's art. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone has the right to free speech but storming the stage and disrupting the peace and order of a play is clearly no protest or expression of opinion. It's basically "I don't agree with you so I'll do whatever i can to stop this." If you can't value other's opinions then i feel that you don't deserve to express your own. I get why people are angry about this but this is clearly not the way to go about this.
while that might be the point of the play, making the character specifically to look and act like Trump (along with his family) was unnecessary. If they had him look like any other regular politician, there'd be no argument against this kind of modern take. But you can't honestly believe that they chose to make this play in New York and show a man specifically looking like Trump getting murdered without enjoying getting to do so in the name of artistic freedom. should they have been shut down? No, but they knew they were making a statement with killing "Trump".
But the problem is that people will misinterpret it like umm terrorists misinterpret religious texts and might act on that misinterpretation.
HrothgarXII Though I agree with you, the real issue is, not enough people care about context in this specific isolated issue. These people aren’t seeing it as an insightful look on the modern day through the lens of ancient history, they just see “play replaces julius ceaser with the president and kills him on stage thats nazi propaganda you liberal fucks”
Bruh this kid said "I hate you" how am I suppose to take you serious when all you say is "I hate you" 😂😂😂😂 reminds me of the kid who said "I don't Care that you broke your elbow".
It does XD
Isis sending threats to journalists: just so you know...
(Leans in super close) I hate you.
I love how you present your content in a way that either doesn't assume the watcher knows what you're talking about or the history behind it, OR you provide direction to find more information to get caught up with what you're discussing.
Dont interrupt actors on stage. Ever.
They use a president like character to draw similarities to the real world and the play with the message that violence is wrong
I agree, I came to see the play, not to watch you throw a hail mary for a little fame. Theater is allowed to be political, Southpark gets away with it, why can't live performance.
The fact that there was another production with a Barack Obama figure who was stabbed in the same or similar way (I haven't seen the play) makes me think that this isn't anti-Trump but just using what looks like a current President. To me, it was an attempt to be relevant over an anti-Trump message
max howard
I'm not sure how, but I still think that was a choice made to make the play more relevant to today.
max howard I mean, everyone but Brutus DID enjoy stabbing Caesar, so it sounds like the Trump play was more accurate, perhaps.
the problem is did they enjoy stabbing the fake trump or the fake representation of Caesar
ArkhamHero123 The president represents Cesar in the play. The assassination is never a good thing. it is always deeply regretted by the main characters.
it's hardly new to have political figures aped in a production of Caesar, the new thing is that Trump is a pure demagogue who has inspired fanatical support. You have to hold these kinds of lights up to demagoguery, and at the end of the day how many people would see JC if it didn't have a touch of sensationalism to it like this?
LOL that guy threatening Phil can't even show his damn face hahaha what a CHILD.
Fuzion180 I know. Only pussies hide their face when making threats.
Fuzion180 I mean there can millions of people who knows who will dox him and that's not too cool
Fuzion180
It probably is a child. A child that has huge daddy issues, mommy issues, and has dreams of shooting up his school.
Yep, no balls at all. Must have been castrated when he was born.
Like Antifa but not as #edgy
Holy guacamole, idk if you watched back your recordings between the cuts from like 6:55 - 7:30, but after that first little taste of a rough patch you really got Mr. Jones' accent and speech idiosyncrasies down, and really quickly too! Hilarious
Phil, you are one of the most epic TH-camrs that I watch.
Might not mean much coming from a stranger like me, but I appreciate your show--loving the fact your informative when you need to be and commentative when the situation when the situation calls for it.
I have enjoyed your show, as have many others, for a very long and upon realizing you could receive hate (and now apparently death threats), I would like you to know that I always look forward to your show and value your opinion.
Keep doing what you're doing and always be yourself.
- a beautiful bastard
Alex Jones' voice always reminds me of a man constantly turning into a werewolf.
Mighty Wombat hilarious!
I read your comment, then your name, now I can't unsee the last word as 'wombat'
I'm honored that you used my video as a source! I love what you do and I'm a huge fan!
Some Dumb American what video?
Some Dumb American it'd make sense to tell us which one it is
yeah it would make sense to tell us which video
Some Dumb American yeah, which video?
so? what video was it..
Hey phil, I've been watching your channel for almost 8 years and I realized today that i genuinely appreciate the way you represent news stories. I barely comment on videos but i thought you should know. Keep it up !
Thank You,
Rik
As someone who had their family broken apart and their entire life ripped out from under them by a drug addiction, of which went on for even longer because of shame felt by the user and the bliss in ignorance mentality on the other side, it is important for people to be able to talk about these things. Especially because these things can be so complicated. Like, in our family's example, where the person became addicted because of drugs prescribed by a doctor after many surgeries, the stigma around "drug addicts" is so harsh and damning that in many cases people would let their lives spiral out of control before they reach out for help, and in addition the lives of people around them. One of the many sad things about drug addiction is that effects the people around you as well and because addiction is such a taboo subject, much of the problems get swept under the rug and never really get resolved. I feel like the sudden uproar in, "it's no one's god damn business" comments really do come from a place of frustration because fans do not want to see someone like Carrie Fisher, who they admire greatly, as a drug addict. But the point if the matter is, that she DID struggle with addiction, and very likely up until her very last days of life, and it's important to acknowledge that it CAN happen to her, and it can happen to anyone.
I got news for you, DeFranco... I love yo face :).
Here's the thing about plays: If you don't like the message, you can choose not to go. The only thing that storming the stage will do is validate the biases of the very people you are trying to preach against. It won't help your argument, and will probably actively hurt it.
Stark Raven and the fact that they bought tickets to be able to storm on stage just goes towards the production and paying the actors.
Stark Raven you also just thrpw your money away by buying the ticket
The same rules falls under Comedy clubs too. If you're going there, you better expect some offensive humor, and if you get offended and interrupt the show, you're no where in the right.
Stark Raven and they don't say it is donald it's just a look alike
Like Piper says in Fallout 4: "I never thought journalists were a success before someone theatened their life. Me? I'm very successfull"
Goes for De Franco too ;)
Huge props to the imam who handled that situation like a freaking champ!
That Alex Jones impersonation was hilarious!
I just cannot understand how someone could threaten someone's life because that person made their favorite TH-camr stop posting videos. These people are willing to commit murder on behalf of some random person over the internet. That's absurd to me.
Of course criminals would defend other criminals
our shitty younger generation are really impressionable compared to many in the past. these kids will go stalk their youtubers to find where they live.
Cornflack Goes to show there are some really crazy people out there... 😞
Chris many generations have gone after their 'heroes' attackers, you can't categorically blame them. That is unfair, also what age bracket do you propose is at fault?
Chris there's a lot of old heads who used to follow famous people so it's not just the younger generation
Phil, do you use that Alex Jones impression in the bedroom?
I hate those two people for doing what they did! I don't care how right you think you are, YOU DO NOT INTERRUPT A PLAY for ANY reason, ESPECIALLY for the sake of political activism!!! It's INCREDIBLY rude to the cast and crew!! It's like if someone deliberately started a fire at a party they were invited to - you just don't do it.
Phil's impression was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Umm. Witty.
this comment section is full of "I got news for you buddy I hate you" and I love that can this be a new meme or inside joke😂😂😂
New shirt idea!
A96oaye omfg yessss 😂
'I got news for you, BUDDY.....
...... I LOVE YO FACE'
As someone who has done a lot of public theater storming the stage is definitely not ok. Regardless of the context of the play, if you liked it or not, whatever the case may be, there are others enjoying the show and you should have the common curtsy to respect their enjoyment and talk to the writers, directors, actors, etc, after the show.
Got an ad!!! About anti- terrorism... it was quite good. I watched.
I mean, Julius Caesar has only been getting stabbed to death on stage for 418 years. I know that is a sudden shock to some. #TooSoon
Charles Fry Let the man die. Don't drag out his pain ;((
Charles Fry I mean, I'm a Conservative and a Trump supporter, but The Rebel Media TH-cam hosts storming the stage is just annoying because they were not only paid to storm the stage, but they also don't understand that they've been doing the president as the Caesar character since Bill Clinton. The president symbolizes power much like Caesar did. What The Rebel and Laura Loomer did is just make conservatives look stupid and weak. I don't agree with what they're doing at all since it's just a play with a character that symbolizes power that just happens to look like President Trump.
It's the context from what I've heard. The same thing happened with Obama but it wasn't as viscous as Trump. With the Obama look alike I believe it was just a simple stabbing but from what I've heard and seen, the Trump look alike is pretty much being simulated as to being beaten down on top of being stabbed.
It's the excessive violence that's causing the outrage, I have a feeling had he just been stabbed and that's that, it wouldn't be like this, but it's the violence we've been having on the left side mainly due to their own angst towards the results of the election and now this that have put them in the light of the situation.
It all comes down to context, Julius Ceaser was assassinated, stabbed and that's that, he wasn't stabbed and then proceeded to get beat down by all those around him, and the moment they did that, they altered the message of their story for their own gains.
Julius Caesar himself was supposedly killed in a very very violent manor and they play is supposed to depict a part of that. this production of the play decided that they wanted to have the murder mor heinous and less "oh look he got stabbed" i think thats perfectly fine.
its also ok to not think its fine. voice your opinion but they arnt breaking the law so you cant force them to stop.
It is understandable that people who are not familiar with theatre would see a performance like this and think that it this is a new thing that is uniquely targeting someone they like. Maybe after the emotional impact fades it will be an opportunity to learn more.
That Alex Jones impression was AMAZING
TheIcekilla88 It was so accurate! If he wanted to fake Alex Jones, he could make people think it was actually him. That's a lot of power for one man...
that's amazing!
Dats Amazing!
got to say, this one jumped to all sorts of topics, but it may have been the best Philip DeFranco video ever in my opinion. Great job Phil, this comprehensive coverage that allows people to formulate their own opinions and encourages them to seek out other viewpoints and sources is exactly what the people of not only the United States but the world need in this day and age. Major respect.
One of your best videos ever. The Alex Jones impression gave me life 😂
I want to see someone follow up this Julius Cesar production with Romeo & Juliet where the Montague's and Capulet's are extreme conservatives and liberals, and the message is basically how stupid and overblown it is for people to allow political views to divide us on such a deep level.
best premise
Ethameshep I'd watch that.
Ethameshep thank you for saying something intelligent
That's actually genius.
Take a look at this guy, he's on to something
I feel like these videos are getting progressively longer and I like it.
Luke Hougen James doesn't like it lol
Phil I'm so glad you guys upped security at the office and at home after that nutty dude who walked in and the break in. Much love and safety to you and your sweet family bro
HAHAHAHAHAHA the AJ impersonation was awesome! XD
I AM DEAD, PHIL. THAT IMPRESSION IS ON POINT
RhiFoxx I couldn't stop laughing. 😂😂
it was funny but it wasn't on point at all :D
If your protest is going to disturb a show, it better be as good as what I'm watching. If not, shut up and sit down. Trying to enjoy my Shakespeare.
You know what I’m going to be honest, James the odd1sout. Mentioned you and I didn’t know you, but then I saw a video by dazgames about the subject of DO5 so I searched it and saw ur channel and now I’m addicted
...What the fuck, your impersonation of Alex Jones is so spot on and it's freaking me out.
Alex Elizabeth what impersonation? That's just Alex jones wearing phil's skin😮
Anyone who gets upset about the Julius Caesar play obviously doesn't understand what it's about. I always thought the message was that violently removing a leader, no matter how noble or corrupt your intentions, will cause a power vacuum and thus destroy, or at least weaken the nation as other parties vie for power. The outrage around this is born of ignorance, stupidity and a lack of critical thinking.
The hatred stems from their ignorance.
But it's not like modernizing a Shakespeare play is a new thing, so the outage is a little silly ^^;
Isaac Voth
thats like exactly what Cesar was about
I have endless respect for you because you make videos raising awareness to things that need attention but no ads so you get to the point .
You're Alex Jones impersonation was spot on 😂
lmao that threat was the cringiest thing i've ever seen in my life
Mafia Tacos, we all should fear for our lives because of that guy
Mafia Tacos you should be shitting your pants, that kids probably got an arsenal if weaponized autism at his disposal
He gets all the pussy, he is a badass ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
Looking at America from the outside (I live in Australia) I really feel like so many problems would be figured out if everyone just like, calmed down. It feels like everyone just freaks out at every single thing that happens and immediately jumps to the worst extreme. (yes I know problems won't be magically solved by calming down, I'm just saying no one ever got hurt by people taking a second to breathe)
Emrad16
Same in Aus, to some extent. Politics was never really something discussed calmly, but christ, everyone just jumps off the deep end now.
That the US for ya.
Emrad16 I feel the same. I'm Finnish and live in the Netherlands. AND JESUS CHRIST THEY NEED TO CALM DOWN! I've noticed how much of it is he said she said garbage. Many people of the African American community screaming about "the whites", the white ppl complaining about everything... They need to realize they're all American losers who need to come together and fix the wrong.
To be fair, if you aren't from the US, then the only people you see are usually the radicals (left or right) in the media. I'd like to think the average person is a lot more reasonable like Phil.
Emrad16 actually most people are moderate but only extremist get attention. It's like when there's a fight at school and everyone pays attention to that instead of going about their business
Phil, just wanna say that I love your channel and I love what you do here. You provide a means for people to learn to think critically of current events, something we desperately need in this day and age. I'm a proud fan. Don't let the muggles get you down!!
That first video really made me realize why Philip was so freaked out about the guy finding his way into his office.
that guy trying to scare you is cringe worthy.
LMFAO TRUE. He's like 13 go to bed ffs
"No one died, but they did have to blur out a dick"
WELCOME TO THE PHILIP DEFRANCO SHOW!!!!
lol I died when he impersonated Alex Jone. That was on point lmfao
You have armed security?! you are the coolest man I know..
As an actor, storming the stage is unacceptable. It's disrespectful, breaks the actor's focus, disrupts the mood of a theatre, and is just a dick move. Keep protests off the stage, especially in a professional setting such as Shakespeare in the Park.
Peyton Williams as a fellow actor, I can't agree more. What the protesters did was just rude, plain and simple.
Peyton Williams - While I agree with your comment...I have to ask what was the difference between this interruption and the interruption of a play by the cast of Hamilton to deliver a political protest message to then VP elect Pence? Why are the actions of these misguided folks any different or any less misguided than the actors from Hamilton? As an audience member that interruption broke the flow of the play and destroyed the quality of the production and to use your words was "just a dick move." However, most actors came out in support of that protest. Personally, I do not advocate any interruption of any theatrical production (especially if I paid to be there). I agree that both actors and audience members should keep their protests off the stage - I want to hear what the playwright has to say, I want to see the technical presentation, and I want to see the actors demonstrate their craft. We can discuss politics over a pint some other time.
I really don't think Trump supporters care about professionalism or anything close to resembling respect unfortunately.
As far as i'm concerned if you had no problem with the play with the obama character then you have no reason to have a problem with the trump character. Try to justify it however you like. But to me it seems like your just looking for things to be offended by. Just a different color of PC culture.
Durka Dur Defranco already made this point.
Oh my god, that was an awesome Jones-impression!
Hello! I'm a time traveler from 2023! I have traveled back to watch the string of DO5 videos and I can't help but say this.
I know the word "cringe" has lost all fucking meaning over the years, literally being used for everything nowadays to the point of it being cringy, but that fucking video of that dude with the red bandana threatening you, is literal cringe. Not the cringe that's thrown around nowadays, the cringe that makes every one of your muscles tense up and make you feel like wanting to do a double handspring off the Eiffel Tower. Like Jeeeesus Christ it sent fucking goosebumps all over my skin. Not because of fear, its because of the absolute cringe factor. Dude thinks he's a Neo but in reality is just No.
Don't you mean DO3?
xBluegamerx I don't even think he should have the right to call himself a dad, not when he abused the little ones and encouraged the older ones to be abusive bullies
Beckynolife so manchild of 3
let's hope it becomes DO0 like it should be
Anybody who would go as far as to threaten somebody over someone they don't know personally and watch online, needs to chill.
Coolio L. Welcome to earth
As a community theater performer, I don't agree with storming the stage. Protest all you want outside the show, refuse to see it, condemn it on social media, etc, but don't interrupt the show. First of all, unless you've seen that exact performance before, you can endanger yourself and the cast by suddenly getting onstage. You don't know if someone is going to run onto the part of the stage that you are now on or if a prop will be thrown in that direction (to name a few possibilities). It's the reason many shows warn audiences not to be in the aisles because the cast will be walking/running/dancing through them during the show.
Secondly, it is very rude to the cast and crew. Stage theater isn't like movies or TV. You can't pick the best parts of the performance to show. Once you throw off the actors' groove, it's difficult to get it back.
But no surprise that the show continued after only a brief pause. "The show must go on" as the adage goes.
"I've got the documents right here"
lolol you make me want to put my Alex Jones voice-a-like out there. I've been told it's pretty good
I love how all the death threats on YT always come from 12-16 year olds. Hilarious.
The Amazing Mohammed Cartoon and with covered up faces
The Amazing Mohammed Cartoon I apologize for the stupidity of my age group
Teen Otaku
I'm sorry but just... your name... I can't
well if a older person really wanted to hurt/kill someone ,and has a decent iq test score ,they will not fucking announce it so they can get caught
The Amazing Mohammed Cartoon they're always prepubescent dumb fucks trying and failing to look badass
"We're gonna call child services on you, DeFranco" What? Almost all of Phil's Dadhood so far is online for everyone to see, and he seems to be a great loving father.
+Wildpaw, I guess you're right. We can't expect these shells of humans to be able have functioning thought processes.
Flamin' French Fri we should've let Natural Selection handle business :/
Thank you for being so specific on the Carrie Fisher report, before this show I only saw people representing the situation like all of the drugs were in her system in large amounts
Hey man. This was the best episode I've seen yet.
If stabbing an Obama lookalike wasn't going too far, doing the same to a Trump lookalike shouldn't be either. I hadn't even heard about the play when it was "Obama", so the fact that the right is blowing this situation up so much is a little pathetic.
I agree with you 100 percent.
Agreed
Elizabeth Lee i sort of agree but there is more intolerance of ideas these days though and everybody is just looking for an excuse to hurt someone. In that respect I get their view on it.
I took a obama this morning
Elizabeth Lee cause nobody gives a shit about obama
I like being called a beautiful bastard it gives me a higher self-esteem😁😄😃😀
LIT AMVS same it's nice
LIT AMVS same
Me too 😂😅
"they say your not a real journalist till someone threatens your life"- piper in fallout 4 xD
I respect the hell out of you phill! bringing light to whats shitty while being able to be so positive is amazing! you regularly immerse yourself in the shittiest aspects of humanity and you still manage to remain you! nothing but respect for you
OMG PHIL UR ALEX JONES VOICE IS ON POINT
At first I was like its okay but as he went on I was like =O WHAT haha.
Sean Reinagel Exactly. He just needed to exercise his pipes to perfect his emphysema voice. If he did an entire video in the voice, maybe we could close out eyes and think it's actual Alex Jones.
Nicholas Kalkanis it's almost as good as Joe Rogan's impression
Right?! Its pretty good
I like to EAT CHILDREN
