[whoa-dere]

the first phase of the asian takeover of the world is now complete

 

[TotallyTrevor]

virus video

 

[Anathema]

it apparently prevented the apocalypse today.

phew.

 

[TACO-DOG.exe]

one billion views and i still don't know what the fuck is going on.

 

[Avifarer]

i'm ok with this actually. 1 billion is a fucking lots of views. does that mean 1 billion different computer have viewed that vid?

 

[accualyisdolan]

Are u sure you're ok with it?

 

[theabortionator]

Wow, that's a fuckload of views

 

[ATLskier]

wow, what a waste of time. that song blows.

 

[loomis]

Same here

 

[Wompuscat]

Uhhhh did anybody see that nostradamus prediction about the 9 0's and the dancing horse? Find it kind of funny that it did actually happen on the 21st hahaha.

 

[theabortionator]

I didn't see it till it had over a billion views /claim

 

[rareison]

Smh

 

[eheath]

No. No way haha its how many times the video has been started. I'd love to see a geographic breakdown, feel like korea probably has 500mil aha

 

[arnie_grape]

Howcome youtube views reset so much? I've had a video uploaded since 2007 and it's never gotten past 500 views. every time I check (rarely) it is between 200 and 500 views. youtube is horse shit. same with all the other guitar covers I have on youtube.

 

[ejm]

still haven't seen it, has enough views, doesn't need 1 more.

 

[AndyGreen]

imgaine how hard the dude that got first is claiming.

 

[eheath]

you're missing out

 

[steezywannabeezy]

I guess I should watch the original now.

 

[eheath]

mind = blown

 

[ejm]

for real? or is the vid another rebacca black bs? ive heard the song on the radio so it cant be that bad?

 

[eheath]

....

all you have to do is click a link and it just plays on your screen for you. are you that lazy? are you that indecisive? stop being so worthless.

 

[Jeebus.]

this.

 

[250r]

it sounds like some horribly produced early 90s rave song

 

[ejm]

...clearly i am that lazy if i went through the effort of typing a post instead of simply clicking a link.

I am VERY indecisive - if indecisive means having youtube blocked on your computer at work.

And worthless? oh ouch man, ya i take great offence to that, coming from the guy who's only society he contributes to is fucking ns.

 

[eheath]

Lol you definitely put some effort into this post and I applaud you on that. Just watch the video, when you can. Its just ridiculous, it isn't stupid like rebecca blck.

 

[ejm]

solid 45sec went into that baby, aha i will watch it when i get a chance

 

[ILLinoisance]

um, really? i think it's worse...

 

[Aiden-P]

i hate everything you stand for... thats right, all 350lbs of it.

 

[dan1080]

shut up

 

[HWW]

do the producers of vids on youtube get paid for clicks if they reach a certain amount of views? if so, how much is 1000000000 clicks in money?

 

[Laurent.]

They typically pay 1/3 cents to 1 cent per view.

So: 1,000,000,000 views x .0033 = $3,300,000 at least.

 

[JahLiam]

That doesn't make sense that this is the first video in 10 years with a billion views and it just got released a couple months ago, how has something else not been viewed more before this video?

 

[CheddarJack]

Holy balls... I gotta get on my YouTube game

 

[akarlsen]

 

[Mr.Sloth]

Below is a diagram of how much I care:

Yeah, about that much

 

[cwillygood]

i dont get it, it isnt even funny

 

[Pow.yuHdig*]

because this is world wide popular the guys not even speaking english and we watch it. most things only get watched by one country, the average person in korea isnt watching justin bieber on youtube but they are all watching gagnam style

 

[Jeebus.]

Honestly i finally just watched it, and i wish i hadn't. I wasn't even entertained.

 

[Parks.]

Makes me sick

 

[Miomo]

I like the part with the homosexual asian cowboy.

 

[manutdsaol]

Same, I actually watched the preview video he put out.

 

[slugworth]

I never see this and I hope I never do. People in my school play it all the time. I can't stand it for some reason

 

[Shireshredder]

Korean girls are fit

 

[Petey.]

That's shameful. Such a garbage video.

 

[Bonzalo]

why uk why

 

[panojibber.]

Psy is not comparable to rebecca black or beiber in any way.

There's a club district or something in a major korean city, called "Gangnam", and the entire purpose of the video and song is to make fun of the decadence and extravagance that is the accepted style in the district. Its a jab at pop culture, not a shitty pop song. But it kind of is a shitty pop song.

 

[clive_bixby]

hahahaha no waii 1 billion views. that guy is a boss, his outfits are boss, and the music video is hilarious.

 

[Spinoza]

its not a good song, and its barely funny.

this is depressing

 

[shibby]

i know right? even worse are people in north america (or really anywhere not korea) who go to psy concerts. its shit music on lmfao's level but that you cant even understand.

 

[eheath]

So much negativity in this thread, how can you not laugh watching that video? Its also shot/edited very well
