I love this video. Mike Meyers' expressions are classic.

But WHERE is Timberlake? I long for news of him.

Remember when this happened?

I think this will be mike meyers' final great performance.

Posted by you're still relevant, mike! on November 7, 2008 at 7:10 PM

To quote Myers' Austin Powers, "YEAHHH, BABY!"

I don't think I've ever watched that all the way through till just now. That is without question one of the most cringe-worthy videos ever made. HOLY SHIT.

Yeah, remember when hip-hop died? It was in 2006 when Nelly released "Grillz": "I got my mouth lookin somethin like a disco ball I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set I might cause a cold front if I take a deep breath My teeth gleaming like I'm chewin on aluminum foil"

say what you like about kanye but this shit is just amazing. when speech and words are this free (and the fucking truth), one can't help but stand up and cheer. kanye is so out of breath because he knows this easily could be "carrer-a-cide" yet instead he throws down one of the most amazing things ever said about any president "GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE". this was to a sitting president people...to me, simply amazing! all i can hear in mike meyers' expression is 'thank god i am canadian'. good riddance george!!!

I never get tired of this. Is there any other moment that's so poignant and and hilarious simultaneously?

Posted by Nixor on November 8, 2008 at 10:18 AM

I hate Mike Myers so very, very much.

Posted by Big Sven on November 8, 2008 at 11:20 AM

Um, is it just me or does Kanye sound very much like Sarah Palin in the VP debate?

Posted by I'm a Turd on November 8, 2008 at 12:20 PM

The best part is that it didn't end Kanye's career. Instead, people realized he was speaking truth to power. Three years prior, when the Dixie Chicks made a much lighter anti-Bush comment, they were villified and had to fight for their careers.

Mike Myer's face makes me giggle every time I watch this.
