Adam Carolla Explains the OWS Generation
by MRC TVIf you feel no one has quite captured how you may feel about the ‘Occupiers’, look no further than this. There are seriously no words for how much awesome is packed into this 9 minute rant. That’s really all that can be said about it.
That and I guess we should warn you there’s some foul language contained throughout.
Enjoy as Adam verbally rips them to shreds, explains the problem, then provides us with a solution. (Language Warning…once again for good measure)

One of the best episodes of Corolla's podcast ever was when he had on Andrew Breitbart . If you haven't yet heard it , do so . It's on Corolla's website .
Adam has a great podcast but the language is very adult and I would not recommend it for kids. I listen a lot and he's willing to say it like it is and not worry if he offends the liberals in Hollywood. He's truly a self made man who is bucking the system and going it alone. If you are not offended by adult language and the occasional F bomb, I would highly recommend his podcast!
Just ask one of these OWS morons if they would like give up a grade letter to people who get worse grades than they do.
It can all be summed up by, liberals should not raise kids. They are not qualified.
Standing ovation.
Adam Carolla is a Ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓘⓝⓖ Ⓖⓔⓝⓘⓤⓢ.
It all started when we stopped,……
swatting the little fart and started saying,…….
"time out"
Carolla hits it out of the park. Well said Adam! Bring back The Man Show!
I'm downloading that so I can play it in my truck while next to some filthy leftwing squatter in his jalopy.
Adam! I love you! In a non f a g g o t way. You hit the nail squarely on the head.
I guess the administrator didn't like the term f a g g o t
How come none of you Journal- ah, hahahahahahaha – almost managed to get that typed out without laughing.
How come none of you bloggers commented on Ann Coulter calling John McCain a "Douchebag" yesterday?
http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/2012-elec...
I'm glad someone finally explained it, so that I could understand it.
I am at peace for the evening.
I finally understand OWS, and have a photo to sum them up http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/11/30/polic... .
LOL
AMEN ADAM!
I think I can say with assurance, I am a tad bit smarter after listening to that.
Who knew Adam Carolla had such common sense?
Well, it's kind of off-topic for this thread, but we realize that you trolls have difficulty keeping focus.
That being said, IT'S CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Next subject.
Do I get a participation trophy for listening to this?
Probably because that's not news to anyone here.
We've been saying it for three years, more or less.
Oh man. That's one of the best rants I've heard in a long time. Corolla hits the nail right on the head: the OWS movement can be stripped down to pathetic, shallow, immature ENVY.
Corolla nails it! Just a side note, "Ass-douche" is officially my new favorite word.
why would anyone care?
Very good but my ears are burning a bit. (Adam, just a hint – when being interviewed by a young woman, tone it down a bit w/ the F word.)
It's kind of like confronting a few OWS protesters, except that Adam actually makes sense and doesn't yell as loud. And he doesn't repeat. And he doesn't repeat.
For a little switch from OWS, check out our little Black Friday Tea Party Protest in Colorado. Several posts at the Pundit Pete Press Service http://punditpete.blogspot.com/
and coverage at 9News Denver http://www.9news.com/video/1295724144001/1/Protes...
A healthy alternative to the Occupy movement. The only swearing was from a few who disagreed with us. It was priceless 4col
That was AWESOME.
Off Topic: Stop Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens Without Due Process http://www.votervoice.net/core.aspx?aid=972&i...
More.
Adam was really was brilliant…
I couldn't have said it better….
ENVY.
And envy is a product of a lack of accomplishment. Pure and simple.
There is a basic human need for accomplishment. It establishes self worth. It fosters personal accountability and self reliance.
When you have not accomplished anything for yourself, you are jealous of those who have. You aren't personally accountable, so you don't look in the mirror and try to solve the problem. You externalize the problem and blame others.
And, then…..all you can do to 'accomplish' something is to tear down those who have and try to take what they have earned.
Of course, self rationalization allows you to call it something else. But, it's envy.
Someone with balz enough to tell it: We don't care how bad your mama yelled at you. Don't care that your dad beat you. Don't care you made only 3rd squad on the basket weaving team in grade school. Your punk a$$ better get to work and complaining will get you your last check. Bye bye! Produce something out of thin air like most of the working (and I mean working, like showing up to your job and actually doing it, not take a number and sit down until I finish my bagel and late' tards) people in this country. Pop the titi out your mouth and suck it up, Ass douche. Grow a set, grab them, and get humpin down the road.
The scariest part about that picture is that's actually a liberal woman.
I just love it! He really says what needs to be said. He's pegged them just right …. "it's not MY fault." No amount of personal responsibility for anything.
From Corolla's website, top of the page:
"I think he’s been buried in a landslide of poontang and can’t dig his way out"—Adam on Herman Cain
Now that was funny!
He is one ….your point is?…Oh and Barry is too
Sometimes it takes someone else to take a step back for me to observe the hubris, and hypocrisy of my country. Thank you Adam Carolla.
Well said….OWS…spoiled little gotta have my ipod,nikes $500 jeans and if I don't get it I will throw a fit….
He's hit the nail on the head. I remember reading the results of a survey in or around 2003; college students were asked if they believed they could do a better job than the U.S. President was doing. An overwhelming majority answered 'yes.'
The ego and false sense of confidence these kids have is astonishing!
For the record, Anne Coulter did not call John McCain a douchebag.
She called him a Dick-weed.
For the record, she was right, in either case.
Juan McLame is a looser, and a poor pilot.
"That's not gonna get you out of your chevette, Ass-Douche"
As a former chevette owner, that right there is funny.
That 9 1/2 minutes of awesome was just what I needed to unwind after work.
Agreed…And very clever usage of Ⓣⓔⓧⓣ Ⓢⓨⓜⓑⓞⓛⓢ.
Shamed by life because they don't get any more little participation trophies… and the guy says get your feet off my desk and hit the bricks, I ain't hiring you douche bag… and your plan is to come back and throw a brick through my window, THAT"S YOUR PLAN??!!
Wow. That makes waaay too much sense….. gotta love it.
Adam was the only "man" on the man show. Jimmy boy is nothing but that…A boy!
But heh, who hates watching women jump on trampolines…lolol
Adam just about nails what life in California has become.
People have become drones. We take too much sh#t.
BINGO!!….we got BINGO!!!
Anonymous is gonna be pissed……..hahahahahah
He was wrong about envy being new, though. In the past, that envy transformed into an individual's motivation to do better. Somewhere along the line, that changed, unfortunately.
True, but *today*, those college students would be right. As would any 3rd grader who answered "yes" to the same question.
Hey Mikey…….
…..have you ever thought that maybe we already know that McLame is a slimey, spineless, clueless, self-serving dickweed?
Coulter is correct and we agree. Nothing we didn't already know. Boring.
It's much more fun slamming petulant, adolescent doucherockets, such as yourself, anyway.
WOW !
AMEN BROTHA..
TELL IT LIKE IT IS !!!!
Look, I'm not some big OWS supporter, but the generalizations that people like Adam Corolla make about them are preposterous. Mostly because its the most entitled generation in the history of the universe (the damn baby boomers) trying to bone us. Thanks for riding Social Security into the ground, guys. Thanks for a failed war on drugs, thanks for a failed war in Iraq. Thanks for spending and spending and spending and spending and digging my generation and the generations following mine into debt we can't possibly pay back with the crazy wages we earn. Thanks for, in your demand to fulfill the free market and to buy the cheapest, lowest-quality crap you can find, for sending every possible manufacturing job to China. Thanks for fighting against fuel emissions standards.
That's how I see OWS. Its the young people of America standing up and flipping a giant bird to the baby boomers and the actual self-entitled generations that are now, after decades of excessive (if not downright Caligulan) gorging accusing the youth in America of being lazy, flippant, and over entitled.
HBO should give him his own show! It'd be much better than that "ass-douche" Maher's Show!
McCain is the reason we're stuck with Obamao! If he had listened to Palin and gone after Obamao regarding his religion and Rev. Wrong, Bill Ayers and the Socialist agenda he promotes, we wouldn't be in the mess Obamao has saved or created!
Because he IS a douchebag AND a dickweed, douchebag dickweed.
That was one of the best anti a$$ douche rants ever. Bravo!
Culture of ass-douchery. That pretty much sums it all up.
I got a lot of 'participant' trophies as a kid. It kinda pissed me off when I was little. I mean, really… our team came in dead last and I get an f'ing trophy? What the *bleep*?
Here comes the psy-ops trolls burying the truth with misinformation. Shouldn't you be copying & pasting your gibberish attention to the fleabagger-in-chief ???
Because that's why we're here. To do what you want. Entitled liberal loser.
No, seriously, what is our crime? That we went to college like our elders told us, and come out to no jobs, and politicians telling us we need to pay more RIGHT NOW and that we are lazy and unthankful?
Did my generation leech off of SS for decades without caring about how it will be paid? What about Medicare and Medicaid? Did MY generation pass Medicare Part D? We were CHILDREN when Bush passed tax cuts that are still costing us billions; when he started TWO wars that NO ONE cared about paying at the time.
Yet all of a sudden we are the entitled ones. The baby boomers, the most entitled generation in the history of America, are calling US entitled.
Perfect example of what he was talking about. Ever thought that you're in the situation you're in because of you? Easier to blame the other guy than work harder.
You mean the same gentleman you folks called a senile old geezer and whose war wounds you made fun of?
They commented on it yesterday, before your Mom picked you up from day care.
<a href="http://www.breitbart.tv/coulter-heavily-censored-…” target=”_blank”>http://www.breitbart.tv/coulter-heavily-censored-…
That was glorious, Adam. Thank you for that.
The OWS "movement" (its pretty much dead at this point, really) embraces idiotic Marxist claptrap, marches behind banners that say "smash capitalism," and demands things like forgiveness of all student debt.
So the way you see OWS is irrelevant. We're judging them on what they say for themselves.
Damn it, you beat me to it.
Somehow, I knew that when you started your rant with "I'm not some big OWS supporter", you would immediately turn around and regurgitate standard, stock and trade pro-OWS effluvium. It's odd though that with all your whining about the mean old folks digging your poor wittle generation into a hole, OWS loudly demands free healthcare, free college tuition, free itunes, and every other freebie you can think of. You think maybe it's the handouts that are the problem?
Oh, and we better keep those manufacturing jobs here so illegal aliens can have them.
And fuel emission standards? You mean to tell me that kids are out there pooping on the street in protest of loose fuel emission standards? Give me a break.
It changed when Progressives in this country convinced more and more Americans to abandon their morals because that was "old school" and "oppressive". Once we lost our morals (as a whole, not individually), we have gone downhill and we get the gov't we deserve. Had we kept our morals, we wouldn't be where we are now.
What a brilliant rant. Loved it.
Did your elders really tell you that when you got out of college, you'd immediately be making six figures at Microsoft? My elders always told me that a college degree wasn't a guarantee of anything. A strong work ethic and on-the-job experience is what gets you the benjamins.
Sorry your parents lied to you. My advice would be to quit whining and get a job – a crummy, low-wage job, and build up your resume, just like everyone else did when they got out of school.
Adam, that was frickin' AWESOME! You have nailed it to the wall.
Your "crime" — or to be more accurate, your moral failing — is your embrace of Marxist lunacy and your insistence that others should take care of you and solve your problems for you, e.g. "government should forgive all student debt," for example.
If you really were interested in standing up to the baby boomers, you'd be conservatives.
Adam's rant was good, but the constant swearing unnecessary. I guess I'm just from another generation. I'm not "edgy" enough I guess. But I still criticize OWS in my own ways.
Our OWS reporter, Protester Pete, has been in the thick of things and could probably relate better to the way Adam said it. http://punditpete.blogspot.com/2011/10/new-report...
Here also is his one report before they got evicted from Zuccotti Park. http://punditpete.blogspot.com/2011/11/protester-...
God bless everyone posting here. Let's counter with the Tea Party.
Why don't you like the baby boomers – many of them are at the OWS, leading you children over the cliff and telling you everything you are entitled to – free healthcare, free education, free this and free that.
I get that you went to college because that was what you were taught. But you didn't HAVE to if you stopped just listening to what others were telling you and thought for yourself for 5 seconds. What did you major in? Philosophy? Underwater basket weaving? Something ending with the word "studies"? When someone does that, they should expect the result of not being able to find a decent job.
I thought she actually called him a "dick" – just based on what she said last night on Hannity (who wouldn't allow her to repeat it on his show). You're right, though – in either case…
And "fuel emission standards"? Seriously? You do know that they only way to get lower standards with technology we now have is to make cars lighter and lighter and therefore more dangerous in case of an accident? No, you probably didn't. You probably thought that the big corporations were hiding "unicorn farts" from the market so they could make money on oil, right?
And you know what a lot was spent on ENTITLEMENTS given to you by Statists and continued by many hippie baby boomers who are also Statists. And these same people you are supposedly angry at are demanding more entitlements for everybody – free healthcare, free education, free this and free that. Where do you think the money comes from? THE TAX PAYERS. The one's actually producing and working, that's who.
You claim to be angry at those that brought you entitlements, but they just want to give more and more and YOU will be stuck paying for it.
You should have joined the Tea Party instead.
Who brought us SS and MC and Medicare Part D – Progressives from both parties, that's who. And now you want to stand with those same Progressives in OWS, who want to bring you Obamacare and free education on the backs of TAXPAYERS.
War war war. That's not the only thing that was being spent – ENTITLEMENTS are the biggest problem of them all. And your beloved Obama just gave you Obamacare.
The ultimate reason that you are in this mess is because, in general, you trust the government to do everything else for you. All their "good" ideas to make your life better have added up to the fact that you have allowed them to own you. What good is blaming the baby boomers going to do you? Yours is a pattern typical of lefties, if not them blame Bush, always needing a scapegoat to cover for your own deficiencies. Seriously, grow up and take some personal responsibility.
No crime, but your reasoning assumes that life is fair. It never has been. You make your choices and take your chances. Outcomes are never guaranteed. If your elders told you to go to college, talk to them about bailing you out. The rest of us had no part in your decision.
In the case of some of these people complaining about student loans, why would you take large loans without a plan to pay it off or in many of these cases getting a major with a marketable skill. The first lesson on coming of age should be to read the contract and understand the contract. If you didn't plan properly, it's not my problem. I don't support bailouts of banks, corporations of governments, why should I bail you out?
Why whine about preceding conditions? You can't change them. Asking for more support now puts you into the same category as those who came before. If you want to change things, get serious about it.
It's all about personal responsibility. As one who has worked his tail off to support his family and make a better life, without government loans, assistance or other support, yes, I regard these people as having an entitlement mentality.
What he said was explained in the bible about Attitudes! Our "entitlement generation" has a very poor biblical attitiude. As a result, they will not receive the Blessings as promised in deuteronomy Ch 28, and will experience Huge Losses.
Then, next, after a failure to be compliant…they go into the "Adam and Eve's Blame Game" and start pointing fingers at each and another….
God punsihed them all! In various degrees of Judgement.
lst of all, the parents are to bleme, for not teaching good principles of life functions, morality(s) and counter-acting the Materialistic World Philosophies….with Biblical Moral Teachings.
It is a bibical principle in economics that the "The Weallth of of the Unjustified is laid up for the Justified" Ones. If not now, then later; which the lst lesson happened when the israelites (acftally Hebrews) escaped Egypt with quite a bot of their wealth)
We are required by Bible Laws to work! PERIIOD! If we are underpaid, dont worry about it! We can change vocations and go into new induestries or investments!
What makes you sound so stupid is that you support the very political party that created the mess you speak of. Unfortunately, you were indoctrinated to oppose the solution by the very same democrats who destroyed the economy. The BS you think makes you smart is the same BS the university system has been shoving down everybody’s throats for 25 pulse years. You are just too stupid to realize you are completely brainwashed.
As a retired Union Electrician I have a good pension.
The generation X peoples have been shorted beca=cuase our US Govt has allowed our Corporations to move over-seas,…. therefore, you have less available work choices available.
Now, in the past, I lived comfortably and was able to provide College Education to my kids, if theyd chose to do so.
I could not do that with my electrician's Income so I I invested in Real Estate and then had funds available and a very nice tax shelter.. IS THAT WRONG ? I did not evolve from an ape and did believe the school system is why I was successful!
Spot f***in' on.
I am so glad someone is saying this. His words need to get out there as a reality check for the ows and their sympathizers.
Absolutely correct, however, being he is my senator it's been longer than that.
Right on, Adam!!!!!
He's even a worse senator than a pilot.
And a dick-weed to boot.
And what's up with that daughter of his?
Imagine how I feel being a former owner of an AMC Gremlin…………….
Adam has a pretty funny book: "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks: . . . And Other Complaints from an Angry Middle-Aged White Guy ." In audio form you can listen to him rant for 6 hours and 42 minutes.

Ironic heading for 1st review on Amazon: "5.0 out of 5 stars The best commentary on how 99% of us really think. — November 3, 2010"
Some very, very enraging facts:
Chevron received a $19 million refund from the IRS last year, even though it made $10 billion in profits in 2009.
Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS last year, even though it made $4.4 billion in profits.
Corporate tax revenue in 2010 was 27% lower than 2000, even though corporate profits are up 60% over the last decade.
Hedge fund managers who made a billion dollars last year now pay a lower effective tax rate than many firefighters.
In the US today, corporate profits are at a record high yet employment numbers have still not rebounded.
Nationally, middle class families have seen their income go down by more than $2,600 since 1999.
During the Bush years the wealthiest 400 Americans saw their wealth increase by some $400 billion.
The wealthiest 400 people in America now own more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans.
The percentage of income going to the top 1% has nearly tripled since the 1970s.
Between 1980 and 2005, 80% of all new income created in this country went to the top 1%.
Today, the top one percent earns more income than the bottom 50 percent.
Thanks to Bernie Sanders Twitter feed for those gems
It's like he's reading my mind. It's kinda creepy.
The National Association of Girls (NAG), THAT"S WHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Education expert Jerome Bruner wrote: “Let us not confuse ourselves by failing to recognize that there are two kinds of self confidence. One is a trait of personality, and another that comes from knowledge of a subject. It is of no particular credit to the educator to help build the first without building the second. The objective of education is not the production of self-confident fools.”
Any person can buy stock in public companies.
Profits go to the shareholders.
Shareholders are people just like you and me.
Companies provide jobs for people who have families.
If you tax a corporation, the corperation passes the cost to the consumer.
Creating bureaucracy to control corporations, costs the consumer more money.
The more money you take out of the economy, the less people spend.
If people spend less money, there are fewer jobs.
If you tax people less, tax revenues increase because there is far more consumer activity.
When there is more consumer activity, there are more jobs and tax payers.
Paying union loons $70 an hour to put hubcaps on cars is insane.
The total of public union employee pay and benefits are a net loss per tax revenue received.
Anyone can start a corporation for $50.
100% agree
The entire Occutard movement needs to get a spanking. and I'm talking about Dad red faced nearly breaking his own spine ripping his belt from the loops type of a spanking.
Yep, I've been calling him a douchebag for about 20 years now.
along with a few other choice names, that would probably get me a deleted post.
Negative, obama is NOT a douchebag,
He is more of an enema nozzle.
LOL, Euk! Another one! You're keepin' me on the floor!
thanks, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I knew that John, I just didn't want to say anything in case her parents were around!
Now that's a swell idea, Koro!
Sometimes, Pete, swearing just sharpens the point!
Then your only course is to join the Tea Party and push for a flat tax, Helen.
Failing that, at least close all the loopholes. These are the things the Tea Party are fighting for! Getting rid of corporate welfare and cronyism, as well as, lobbyists.The tax code is the key.
You can't blame companies for adhering to the tax code. It's completely legal. You would take every opportunity to use tax breaks too, were you in their position.
It's interesting that you are a twit buddy with Sanders. That tells us a lot.
Dont know who DT'd you for that one but that bill is so vague it scares the HELL out of me.
Thanks for riding Social Security into the ground, guys Yes and the government for borrowing against it. BTW if SS is infeasible for one generation it will be infeasible for the next.
Thanks for a failed war on drugs Since there can be no successful war on drugs given humans have free will the point is moot. ANY war on ANYTHING is a failure.
Thanks for spending and spending and spending and spending and digging my generation and the generations following mine into debt we can't possibly pay back with the crazy wages we earn. EXACTLY! And you can thank government for doing that. As long as government is empowered to borrow money it will always borrow off the future. BTW which party is now over spending by 1.4 tril a year?
Thanks for, in your demand to fulfill the free market and to buy the cheapest, lowest-quality crap you can find, for sending every possible manufacturing job to China. so you complain above about having a crappy wage now you turn your nose up and cheap goods? Would you like goods to be more expensive? And we did not send every job overseas. Perhaps there are jobs not worthy of a min wage. The best way to equalize the wages is to let the Chinese build up economic power so they can demand higher wages. Remember America was China in the 1900s.
Thanks for fighting against fuel emissions standards. so you complain about losing jobs overseas yet you endorse ball and chain legislation that crimps Americans and holds up back for make believe environmental crisis? Thanks for being a ball and chain and holding us back so we can't generate prosperity.
That's how I see OWS. Its the young people of America standing up and flipping a giant bird to the baby boomers and the actual self-entitled generations that are now, after decades of excessive (if not downright Caligulan) gorging accusing the youth in America of being lazy, flippant, and over entitled. great cause that does not explain OWS and is about as generic as labeling a box of crayons as varying shades of grey.
People like you come on here and say OWS is being generalized but all you do is supply the softest, generalist explanations that have no bearing on any comments or voices of the OWS. If nothing else OWS is an old man rambling about nothing at all. No focus. No message. No rational arguments. You couldn't tell us what OWS was about to save your life since even the OWS does not know what its about.
You have my sympathies sir.
I had a Dodge colt vista for 3 months once, it was the worst 3 months of my life.
"Ass-douchery" (@6:50), term invented by Allison Rosen my new favorite person.
F-n-A Adam, someone needs to say it. Awesome.
And you just explained WHY you are entitled. I notice NOWHERE in your dialog do you say you will abandon medicade or medicare or want out of SS or out of any entitlement program.
Instead all you whine about is "where's my entitlement". That is literally your rant.
Nothing you have said talks about depowering government so it can't write a fat check out of your check book. Instead you just want your goodies.
I am 100% in agreement with a good portion of your complaints but your pursue the same path that got you in trouble to begin with. You want health care and education and college paid for and retirement as entitlements.
If all you wanted was for you being forced to pay for others' entitlements to stop then you know the solution to that: STOP GIVING GOVERNMENT POWER TO ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL. All you're realizing is you're Peter and your greedy, liberal, entitlement junky parents are Paul.
Say hello to reality Junior.
