- Elon Musk trapped me and my puppets in a submarine for this video which is LEGALLY DISTINCT from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Videos dissing PragerU is the leftist CZcams equivalent of junk food, and I'd like to super size my order!
Let's troll Steven Crowder videos with links to this video.
Leftist junk food is what I’ll get obese with.
Wait are you saying pragerU is leftist?
Mr Lucks
No, he said that it felt good when he watches leftist CZcamsrs dissing PragerU. Like eating junk food, leftist junk food. And he wants *moar*
The only junk food I'll ever binge on
I wouldn’t mind this being a series.
Same!
I’d like to see them riff Amazon’s and Walmart’s anti-union videos, if this does become one
These ones here

czcams.com/video/ONKkoiszVSs/video.html
I wouldn't mind a second episode to ANY of his series...
I turned the volume down and let the PargerU ad play, just so they can pay you!!😉👍👍
legend
SAME!
Can anyone please explain me this? I don’t get it, I’m stupid.
Kritische they got an ad for prager u and they let it play out because when you let ads play out rather than skipping them the CZcams channel gets more money
That's praxis in my book
Elon Musk being a shark really works with his South African blood money inheritance.
The money he didn’t inherit?
“Who owns these automobiles?”
“The employees in the plant. Of course, they also own the plant itself, and elect their own managers.”
“THAT CANNOT BE!”
For that is communism, and communism is the opposite of what they do
PragerU is like the DJ Khaled of right-wing youtube. He typically doesn't do anything in the video, has someone else perform, and attaches his name to everything.
so... he's like capitalist corporations.

Mental gymnastics used to prove that only the poor can be greedy, wow
HOW HAVE YOU NOT MADE MORE OF THESE? ITS GODDAMN BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL!
Comrade Senpai noticed me! I'm all seriousness, thanks for everything you do. We certainly need more headhunters and I hope to help fill that role. I would love to do a Mr Rogers Bill Nye style show, especially given your excellent video on Mr Rogers and we could certainly use someone to help in that end. Certainly not saying I could (or anyone for that matter), too what Mr Rogers accomplished, but to come even remotely close... I feel as though we need that more then ever.
"Denny, the climate change denying killer whale"
Lmaooo
@aaron bacchus and also melting of ice caps makes the killer whales free to roam the oceans
so by this dudes logic, if you arent greedy if you save your money and are cheap, then ebinezeer scrooge is apparently a really nice guy and totally not greedy! Who knew?
it was my understanding that scrooge was a perfect illustration of marx's contention that capitalism is bad for capitalists too, since scrooge is clearly pathologically ascetic to the point of self-harm, for the sake of profit
@Socialist_Spy_Kid Are you an anarcho-syndicalist?
Mr. Top Hat I prefer anarcho communist
@@aeneasstrozier8944 But isn't the black cat a syndicalist symbol? Or am I mistaken? (I am an anarcho-syndicalist)
Mr. Top Hat it is, but historically, our ideologies have been so intertwined that it Barry makes a difference. Tbh i also just think it looks cool
I completely agree. PragerU is just a group of entitled racists spreading their twisted ideologies in the name of knowledge.
They once made a video exalting colonialism and how we Indians should thank the British for everything they have given us.
Loved your dry and witty humour BTW😂😂
I mean, india would not be unified if it wasn't for the British
@@nxthingbutv0id958 okay 💀
"You're a terrible person,Frank." "Thank you! :)" Is probably my favorite pro-capitalist argument, and the best one I've ever heard
But Emerican *“eLoN mUsK iS a SoCiAlIst”*
*Well, when words don't mean things its easy to call yourself a socialist, or call saving money the opposite of greed, it's easy! Now you try!*
Musk supports Freedom Dividend. He is a socialist, according to the right.

@@edwardzero9275 They're illiterate as they haven't read the classical definition of fascism.
Amol Khobaragade Ya’know, even those who know what Fascism is still say it’s Leftist just so they say “Look guys! The evil fascists are at it again!”
Mister Roger's Neighborhood has really grown up with it's audience. Went from teaching good qualities and life lessons to political science.
I was expecting elon musk's video selector to just be the youtube algorithm
I legit thought the same thing. Glad I'm not alone
Why does watching PragerU almost never fail to give me a nauseating headache....!?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...................
Because trying to sort through the bad logic, factual inaccuracies and bigotry is physically painfull
Romulas Ex oh shit ooooo
They're like the right's intellectual masturbation
Said it before and I'll say it again: the puppets are glorious. Keep on doing what you do, Emerican. You rock!
HAHHH leftist puppet show mocking Elon Musk? SUBBED IMMEDIATELY :)
PargerU, the only University that makes you dumber
@William Stewart It's all in the name, PropagandaU aka PseudoscienceU
@William Stewart How about the fact that they purposely lied about universal healthcare costing more than our current system?
@William Stewart Two huge extensive studies were done by economists, one of them funded by the Koch brothers found that Medicare For All would save America 2-5 Trillion Dollars over a decade. Funny how they failed to mention that 🤷♂️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/11/universal-healthcare-could-save-america-trillions-whats-holding-us-back
Emerican's pained gaze after "Arctic Ice melt is a natural cycle" made me choke on my coffee
I really love the use of puppets, top quality!
Do some research and you will see that the Arctic melt actually is a cycle. The ice has been growing faster than it has in the last 14 years.

Ugh! That George guy sounds like a robot with a dying soul inside. His miserable voice brings agony to the next level.

Dude, the production value of your videos has really been taking off lately, congrats and as always thanks for the amazing content
humorous critic of thrash right-wing propaganda and 90s nostalgia! this is gold! thank you!
Hey I'm new to this channel so don't ask whether I've watched his vids before but what's wrong with 90s nostalgia? As for right wing stuff I'm not going to assume u mean it's bad but what's wrong with 90 nolstalga?
hahaha, sorry, my bad. nothing wrong with 90s nostalgia. criticism of thrash right wing and (on top of that) some sweet 90s nostalgia (not criticised but the cherry on top that makes it extra sweet). the heat of the moment, I guess ;)
>trash-wing
have some standards
I love how self aware frank's so self aware
Diagetic horse puppet hella connected with me.
I remember an argument I once had with a coworker about health and beauty products. His argument was that all the different brands and varieties wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t a “need” for them. But that neglects to consider there’s a whole discipline devoted to creating “need” for new products. They call it marketing.
“Working class puppet.” Implying the existence of a bourgeoisie puppet
6:08 "It's like the 80's are taking a dump in my ear."
That line made me spit out my coffee. Thanks. XD
This is the greatest MST3K parody ever and I love how organically it developed from your previous puppet lore.
God, the man's voice. The puppets and Emerican need to wake me up every 3 minutes or so.
I agree. His voice is hard to listen to. He sounds like a constipated Ben Stein.
Voice In the Wilderness Sounds like he just woke up with that much vocal fry
I'd watch several seasons of that ... PragerU is hilarious but also kind of depressing to watch on your own
I only watch ytps of PragerU
Commentary is really good and this is a really tight parody! I do wish there had been some kind of door sequence, though. That was always one of my favorite parts of MST3K
10/10. Best response to pragerU I've seen yet. I love that you refuse to take their content seriously and debunk the high density of their BS without making it tedious.
Easy to "debunk" someones ideas when you dont have to actually listen to what they have to say. I noticed that this Theater 3000 knock-off never actually played an entire sentence from the gent in the Prager U video. Isnt creative video editing great? It keeps you from having to have an honest conversation. You can just set up straw men and knock them down.
@@bluewater454 PragerU is nothing but a big pile of shit that's played off as facts and truth. I doubt anyone with a shred of sense takes them seriously.
Austin Bundrick
A "pile of shit"...
What a devastating argument. Another fact-filled defender of truth from the left. About what I have come to expect.
The incredulity of this and many other pragerU vids is self-evident whether from a glace or in-depth analysis.
Prageru is also notorious for litigating against people who use large portions of their videos without written permission. So no, of course we don't see a point-by-point response. Besides to counter the fire-hosing that's typical of pragerU would be antithetical to the video format.
It's unreasonable to expect a full-blown video essay.
Technically Geckley
Ah, so you aren't into long, boring presentations with real analysis, is that it? A real analysis would tax the attention span of the average socialist who needs puppets and snarky jokes to keep their attention. Actually, Prager U's videos are usually short and to the point (apparently not short enough for a leftist). You wouldnt need a "full blown video essay" to simply allow a complete sentence to be presented with evidence, and then take a few minutes to present your own evidence as a counter. But, that would require an honest debate, and this was hardly about having an honest debate.
This was a drive-by shooting, where truth was the first casualty. Just about the right speed for leftist attention spans. Hope this response wasnt too long and boring for you. I will try to add puppets and jokes in the future.
I WOULD WATCH THIS SERIES FOREVER
“Conservative BuzzFeed”
PragerU has so many problems that you couldn't list them all. But possibly the most egregious failure of their content is their inability to add some goddamn leading to their text. Look at 4:24 and tell me that's comfortable to read. The letters are inside of each other!
Maybe their graphics person is secretly woke and is trying to push viewers away lmao
Sorry but did u just use the word "woke" unirronicly
@ThisIsMyRealName using woke unirronicaly is just a meme
@ThisIsMyRealName oh yeah I know I'm not "woke"
I got a prager u ad before watching this....lol
Even Frank hates Prager U 😂😂😂
Emerican this puppet show is everything ❤️
Most people on the Right also hate prager U, they basically just spout bs
gonna need a gif of Glue saying “this is a jumbled mess of a thesis”
phenomenal video, keep up the good work!
"MAD at LIBs" hahahaha 😂😂 awww, I love you, Glue😍
You have found your calling. This is the type of content that you are destined for. Keep it up, Emerican!
The idea that responding to needs is the opposite of greed is stupid for a couple of reasons. For one, when you’re a capitalist, you’re not making the product itself that is fulfilling a need; you’re creating a commodity. Drug companies aren’t responding to needs by making medicine. They’re not even making medicine, they’re making commodities. They have found that they can profit in a certain market, and it just so happens that the market they operate in is medicine. If Merk found they weren’t profitable in the drug market, they’d move on to some other commodity. There’s not a market for things that aren’t profitable. Responding to needs (in as much as capitalists do that at all) is really just another way of saying “finding a commodity that’s profitable.” So how is seeking out profit the opposite of greed?
+SunnyFish
Great point. I've heard the argument that the car industry in the Soviet Union was joke compared to the sophisticated machines that were produced by capitalist car companies. But I'd say that no one really needs a tricked out sports car. People think they need it because of social conditioning, which is fueled by depictions of such cars in popular media as being cool. If we produced cars based on what people actually needed and not on profit, we'd have cars that run off of completely clean energy as the norm and not the exception.

@SunnyFish *UNCRUSTABLES*
He's talking about small businesses that have to save, budget, and often make less than their employees.
With a 90% failure rate of small businesses. It's safe to say you have to fulfil your target consumer/customers needs before your own.
Well, sir, I believe that it is very silly to participate in a market that isn't profitable. If a market isn't profitable, how is someone supposed to sustain it? Where do they get the goods to make sure it can keep not making a profit? Is it really efficient for us to keep around markets that no one wants to buy from or isn't helpful to society?
Fantastic work EJ, you're setting the leftube bar high

I loved this one! The whole "Political Science Theatre" vehicle is great.
I LOVE your puppet shows dude, please keep it up! This is the funniest thing I've seen in ages :D
Yes! more! I need this. Just lost my job without anyone telling me and this helps.
Very sorry to hear that, comrade. Solidarity!!
This is just fantastic. Oh snap I just hit the opening theme. This got even more hilarious
Seriously, the prager u video uses so many font types that I'm fairly certain one of their writers is a serial killer.
Amazing lol. I didnt even think about this until you said it
You really nailed the tone of the MST3K (while remaining legally distinct, obviously).
This pro-capitalist propaganda video was actually pretty lame. Haha!
I liked how it went against the fundamental principal of capitalism:
"Who owns this [means of production]?"
"The workers"
Hmm...
Thank you you beautiful man.
If Trotsky and Makhno are back too, can you tell him not to invade Ukraine this time? Thanks Lenin!
You need to keep making these. That was hilarious. I am forwarding it to a lot of friends.
This is by far my favourite series you have done! Hilarious and witty, keep them coming.
I came here from Contrapoints and I regret nothing
Why was this so funny
"Wait a minute, am I diegetically a puppet or a horse??"
"Actually can we just kinda move on? I don't think this bit is connecting with our audience at all"
that's where you're wrong
but you know that
the production quality has gotten so good! the effort you pour into these videos is palpable. keep up the good work comrade, youre changing hearts
Jesus. It feels like the Prager U video is sucking away more and more of my IQ points the longer it goes on
I love you THIS MUCH for making this video!
I love the reference to the obscure MST3K lore that the oxygen is turned off in the rest of the ship to make sure Mike and Joel actually go to the theatre.
"How many opposites does greed have??" Lmao
conclusion: I'm a diegetic puppet

"Autmatic Teller Machine Machines" I always hear this in my head when people say ATM machine.
So I AM an entrepreneur and I run my own business, and that PragerU video made me want to bang me head repeatedly against a wall. I started my own business because no matter how much of my life I devoted to the companies I was working for, they literally didn't pay me enough to maintain a safe standard of living (couldn't afford health insurance, had to live in dangerous areas where I was mugged, etc.). Anyways, one of the things I quickly learned as a business owner is that you don't give any shit away. Your ability to pay your bills and keep the lights on revolves around getting people to buy as much as they can for as high as you can make them pay. It's also interesting to be in a business where I am selling entertainment goods I myself could never afford. It helps ease the guilt if I'm selling some rich kid a collectible obviously no one needs to survive so I can pay rent on my apartment another month. I'm ready to jump ship to a different economic system as soon as one presents itself, but for the time being it's scraping by on capitalism, baby!
Prager U initiates my gag reflex. Love this. 😂 I guess it’s not a mugging if I spent a few months planning to rob you. 😂😳. Funny and deep.
This was hilarious! And really informative. Please make more of them.
I'm so glad I got an ad-blocker so I don't have to constantly get bombarded by them any more XD
Hi I'm new here! Really enjoyed your content! Please keep the puppets! Please keep spreading your logic and reason!
When you get a prageru ad on this
This is the best part of my day and it only just started. Can't wait for more.
I never knew how funny a shark in a shirt could be.
I think I'm gonna love this series.
You remind me of Mr.Rogers, after watching your video about him, how he inspires you shines through. ✌️
Anarcho-communist Mr. Rogers
How did it take me so long to watch this? Love the MST spoof and great riffing! Let's double this video's views!
I love your use of the MST3K style for this vid. Keep up the good work.
Great video, would like to see more of political science theater.
I love everything about this
OMG... This is GLORIOUS!!! So glad I ran into this channel!!
You have mentioned a lot of people don't like your puppet videos but let me just say I personally LOVE them. They are funny and entertaining and we need more of that. Educational and funny is the best way to learn.
Damn, this is some sick production value.
Mad at Libs...

That was pretty good. You should do a whole series of these.

Got a prager u ad on this vid...
Love that you named your horse "Glue"! Having worked around horses a good deal I totally get it and laugh everytime he shows up! Next friend getting a new, real horse...I'm campaigning heavily for them to choose *_that_* for the name!
"artic ice melt is a natural cycle, well it is" got me
Elon Musk tried to force me to watch a Louder with Chowder, I mean Crowder, ad before this video... he eats all the trashes!
Ug. Got a Prager U. Ad before this video starring Spen Bashiro.
It feels like a Saturday morning cartoon. Also I love how the puppet know absolutely everything no matter what
I love the Sopranos and even I had some trouble remembering little Carmine, thanx for the montage
Can't live without atms
Those things that are so capitalist they managed to find a way to sell you your own money
Oooo!
Next do the Prager U video, "Was the Civil War About Slavery?" !!!
I can't wait...
I'm going to barge in without context about the never watching the video or claim you made.
Yes, slavery was a key focus into the Civil war. Although, they all focused on the political machines that kept most powerful men to stay into government due to the slave having a 3/5's vote for elections(senate). This was one huge concern from the North, and they didn't want to let these issue grow which they came up with the Missouri Compromise keeping the states "balanced".
There was issues building up later due to my mother country, Mexico, losing almost half of their lands by the US during the Mexican American War. The lands were disputed by both North and Southern states(between the Missouri Compromise) so they decided to make a new compromises. One of the major disputes between the new compromises was the Nebraska and Kansas States which basically had people migrating from the North coming to Kansas to basically rig the vote to the Republican to keep from a slave state. This caused bloody Kansas. One of the worse atrocities during the Antebellum era.
I am taking too long, but the civil war was basically about power over voting and getting rid of the political machines in the South. The Emancipation proclamation was what made it more about slavery, by freeing the slaves. Which soon caused issues in the South with Carpet baggers causing issues towards the Southern people during Reconstruction era and the violence towards their "n***er loving" enemies with the establishment of the KKK. And further issues from history which caused the great migration. I'm done because I need to rest from my stupid AP US History class.
I love the concept of this hope you make more, Keep up the good work
looking forward for the next episode.
