FIGHTING THE ELEPHANT - Ray William Johnson Video

  • 0:01 - 0:02
    [ Screaming ]
  • 0:02 - 0:05
    >> RAY: So this first video is actually someone's vacation footage.
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    And I guess this group of friends saw some elephants in the jungle
  • 0:08 - 0:12
    and they decided to get a little too close.
  • 0:17 - 0:21
    Solid right hook, Manny Pachyderm.
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    Now, I like this video because illustrates exactly
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    how dumb human beings can be.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    If you see a elephant out in the middle of nowhere
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    don't go and f*ck with it!
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    I mean, you remember that old children's book right?
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    "Don't Fuck With a 2-ton Animal While It's Eating"
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    by Shel Silverstein.
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    Now, this video got over 300,000 views in one week
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    and let me just say, the friend's reaction is priceless.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    No, he didn't hit me.
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    I just decided to run my face into his trunk
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    and then throw myself as hard as I could
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    ...on the ground.
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    I mean isn't the elephant a symbol
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    for the Republican Party?
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    I haven't seen the Republican Party
  • 1:03 - 1:04
    slap anything down this hard
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    since gay marriage.
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    So our second video looks like
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    it's from a college where a group of friends
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    are actually testing out some party trick.
  • 1:12 - 1:15
    So they're all gathering around this guy
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    because for some reason
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    he passes out every time he gets tickled.
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    [ Frenetic Laughing ]
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    >> He passes out when he gets tickled.
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    >>> He's not passed out yet.
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    [ Girl Laughs Hysterically ]
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    >> RAY: Now that's what I call "blacking out!"
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    You know, my mom tickled a black guy once...
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    and now I'm not sure who my real father is.
  • 1:42 - 1:45
    Now this video got 400,000 views in just a week.
  • 1:45 - 1:46
    And don't worry.
  • 1:46 - 1:47
    Like, he eventually wakes up
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    but he seems fine.
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    You know, when I first saw this video
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    I was like -- Dah! He passes out when he's tickled.
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    And then I watched it again
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    and I'm like -- Jesus Christ, dude
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    you need a f*ckin' CAT scan.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    And how come out of his super diverse group friends
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    it's gotta be the two white people
  • 2:04 - 2:05
    holding him down?
  • 2:08 - 2:09
    Why the white man always gotta
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    hold the black man down?
  • 2:11 - 2:12
    I mean, I haven't been tickle-raped like that
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    since I went to Sesame Street prison.
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    -- That tickles! --
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    I mean if "Tickle Me Homo" over here ever gets mugged
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    he's sh*t out of luck.
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    Everyone's going to know how to beat this guy in a fight.
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    [ Screaming and Laughing ]
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    That has gotta be the most adorable
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    weakness I've ever seen.
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    Tee-hee-hee-hee. Ugh.
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    So as many of you guys know
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    the Wall Street Journal recently
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    came out with an article about me.
  • 2:34 - 2:37
    And you know, I appreciate the support.
  • 2:37 - 2:38
    I really do.
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    But they got like, a couple of things wrong.
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    Now, I normally don't address these things
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    but today you know, I thought we'd have a little fun
  • 2:44 - 2:45
    and set the record straight.
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    So first off, they're suggesting
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    that I make around $1 million a year
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    and frankly, this is just not accurate.
  • 2:52 - 2:53
    And then they call me
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    "a lone comic with a YouTube channel."
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    Did they mean "lonely comic?"
  • 2:57 - 2:58
    I work with dozens of people
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    across all four of my channels.
  • 3:01 - 3:02
    I mean c'mon.
  • 3:02 - 3:04
    Like, this is like very public knowledge.
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    There are credits at the end of every single video.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    I like working with these guys.
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    They help me make more content
  • 3:12 - 3:13
    for you.
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    And then they say,
  • 3:14 - 3:18
    "some media outlets have described him as 23 years old."
  • 3:18 - 3:21
    Hey! It's not my fault I exfoliate and sh*t
  • 3:21 - 3:23
    and look all fly... and stuff!
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    So Forbes -- one media outlet
  • 3:25 - 3:29
    wrote that I was 23 years old for about an hour
  • 3:29 - 3:30
    until I corrected them on it
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    and then they struck a line through it
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    indicating that it was wrong.
  • 3:34 - 3:35
    And they also say that
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    I often give my audience the finger.
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    All right, maybe just a couple of times.
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    But come on guys, both times?
  • 3:42 - 3:43
    You deserved it.
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    Also, I apparently sometimes dress up as a penguin.
  • 3:46 - 3:49
    You know, out of over 300 YouTube videos I've made
  • 3:49 - 3:51
    I've worn a penguin costume...
  • 3:51 - 3:52
    once...
  • 3:52 - 3:53
    ...for Halloween.
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    And maybe this is nitpicking
  • 3:55 - 3:59
    but they say I spike my hair 2 inches high.
  • 3:59 - 4:00
    Slow news day, I guess.
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    We measured and my hair is
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    two and a quarter inches.
  • 4:04 - 4:07
    Don't take that quarter inch away from me!
  • 4:07 - 4:07
    I need it!
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    And where did this reporter, old Emily Glazer...
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    Where did she get all this information?
  • 4:12 - 4:13
    Oh, yeah...
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    "two people familiar with the situation."
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    And who are these two mysterious people
  • 4:19 - 4:20
    familiar with the situation?
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    Oh, and they also made a video
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    and then they put it up on their
  • 4:23 - 4:25
    Wall Street Journal digital network.
  • 4:27 - 4:29
    I've been making video for five years.
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    I'm not new at this.
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    And you guys know I'm not a f*cking sensation.
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    And then they have the gall
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    to suggest that I'm "foul-mouthed."
  • 4:43 - 4:46
    I mean what in the sht @ss fcking cck bstard b*lls
  • 4:46 - 4:48
    are they talking about?
  • 4:48 - 4:50
    Okay, maybe they're actually right about that one.
  • 4:50 - 4:51
    And then they misquote the name
  • 4:51 - 4:53
    of my iPhone app.
  • 4:57 - 4:58
    A quick search will reveal
  • 4:58 - 5:00
    that it is "Pimp Hand Strong."
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    "Pimp My Hand" sounds like Xzibit
  • 5:02 - 5:04
    got hold of the Hamburger Helper glove
  • 5:04 - 5:05
    and bedazzled that sh*t!
  • 5:05 - 5:07
    So, I love that one of the first things
  • 5:07 - 5:10
    they say is that this is a "family-friendly show."
  • 5:13 - 5:15
    Then they review one of my videos.
  • 5:15 - 5:16
    But as they're talking about the video
  • 5:16 - 5:18
    you can clearly see here, the caption
  • 5:18 - 5:21
    "I bet you'd like a bag of penises."
  • 5:21 - 5:22
    Yes!
  • 5:22 - 5:23
    Ladies and gentlemen,
  • 5:23 - 5:26
    we successfully got "bag of penises"
  • 5:26 - 5:28
    on the Wall Street Journal.
  • 5:28 - 5:29
    But I really love
  • 5:29 - 5:32
    what the other reporter says at the end of the video.
  • 5:36 - 5:36
    So yeah, I guess we have
  • 5:36 - 5:40
    different interpretations of what constitutes "good digging."
  • 5:40 - 5:41
    But hey... lucky for us
  • 5:41 - 5:43
    more people watch Equals Three
  • 5:43 - 5:45
    than subscribe to the Wall Street Journal.
  • 5:45 - 5:47
    So let me be 100 percent clear about this.
  • 5:47 - 5:49
    I actually have nothing against the Wall Street Journal
  • 5:49 - 5:51
    nothing against the author Emily Glazer
  • 5:51 - 5:52
    it's nothing personal.
  • 5:52 - 5:55
    I just want you guys to have the facts
  • 5:55 - 5:58
    and not these inaccuracies.
  • 5:58 - 5:59
    I mean that's all.
  • 5:59 - 6:01
    That's why I'm doing this whole thing...
  • 6:01 - 6:02
    'Cause I love you guys!
  • 6:02 - 6:04
    But you know what else reports like Stephen Glass?
  • 6:04 - 6:05
    The comment question of the day
  • 6:05 - 6:07
    which comes from username BAM!
  • 6:07 - 6:08
    And they said
  • 6:08 - 6:08
    >> Clone!
  • 6:08 - 6:11
    >>> What, what, what?
  • 6:11 - 6:14
    >> Can you do the comment question for me?
  • 6:14 - 6:15
    >>> Fine.
  • 6:15 - 6:17
    Hi Ray, his comment question of the day is
  • 6:17 - 6:19
    "who would you clone and why?"
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    >> RAY: Who would you clone and why?
  • 6:21 - 6:22
    You can leave your creative responses
  • 6:22 - 6:23
    in the comments section
  • 6:23 - 6:25
    BELOOWW
  • 6:25 - 6:27
    ...or on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+!
  • 6:28 - 6:29
    Thanks guys for sitting through
  • 6:29 - 6:32
    the most serious episode of Equals Three ever.
  • 6:32 - 6:33
    I'm Ray William Johnson
  • 6:33 - 6:35
    and I approve this message.
  • 6:35 - 6:38
    So tell me guys...
  • 6:38 - 6:40
    What would Ray William Johnson do?
  • 6:40 - 6:42
    I bet you'd like a bag of penises.
  • 6:42 - 6:45
    BAG OF PENISES!
  • 6:45 - 6:48
    I mean if Wu-Tang Clan is in fact
  • 6:48 - 6:50
    not something to f*ck with.
  • 6:50 - 6:52
    Hi, I'm Ray William Johnson.
  • 6:52 - 6:53
    We're cool, Right?
  • 6:53 - 6:54
    We're homies.
  • 6:54 - 6:56
    No, I know we really don't -- these things!
  • 6:56 - 6:57
    But...
  • 6:57 - 6:58
    [ Laughter ]
  • 6:58 - 6:59
    That was funny!
  • 6:59 - 7:00
    You're good.
  • 7:00 - 7:01
    No, that's solid.
  • 7:01 - 7:02
    Good digging.
  • 7:02 - 7:05
    Why the f*ck am I talking like William Shatner?
  • 7:05 - 7:09
    I mean, what in sht @ss fcking cnt bstard b*lls are they talking about?
  • 7:09 - 7:11
    Okay, maybe they're actually right about that one.
  • 7:11 - 7:13
    What's that?
  • 7:13 - 7:14
    Yeah, it's getting weird.
  • 7:14 - 7:16
    Like this video!
  • 7:16 - 7:17
    Oh, that's good!
