ANDY WARHOL not rolling a joint

[@AversaS2]

So simplistic, but somehow draws you in, and keeps you there. Andy Warhol is the shit. I live in Pittsburgh, and make it a point to go to the museum AT LEAST 1 time a year. My favorite picture is with him a Sugar Ray Leonard. Sugar Ray just has his glove up, as if he was "hitting" Andy, and Andy has this expression on his face...just like he was bored with the entire thing. It's great.

[@TheFerruccio]

I think the audio plays a big part in the whole feel of this video. Is it just me or is all the sound focused on the crumples and bonks of the food packaging? It's hypnotizing. Plus, it sure makes a burger look appetizing.

[@monauraldaredevil]

Doesnt matter what anyone says, this is Art. :) Im an artist myself and short film, no matter how it looks to the common eye, is an artform in itself. Andy Warhol, youre awesome

[@tumbleweedtricks]

why is this so addictive? why can i not stop watching it? it's actually kind of relaxing to listen to and watch.

[@NoelArtMedia]

The truth is Andy really was a hard working artist. Just look at the number of paintings he produced. He put a lot of thought into his work, too. Making it look like it took no effort was really just an act.

[@zacharybordas]

I love this video so much! It truely shows you how amazing Warhol was in that he was a normal man who did awesome things and could turn plain things into awesome and intresting products!

[@yorkandpomona]

i have always wanted to do stuff like this....and now seeing him do it makes me happy

[@Karlfalcon]

Warhol was the biggest troll ever. He got god knows how many people to sit and watch him eat a hamburger for four minutes. The man was epic.

[@gardnjw]

This HAS to be ART...Who else but Warhol could stir so many people just by eating a damn hamburger?

[@ckyfan969696]

That is one of the coolest videos i have ever watched. and i have no idea why.

[@circean]

It's pointless to try and convince anyone something is or isn't "art". It's up to each of us to define that. I personally appreciate his work.

[@Hippie1abc]

now i see... you like this video not because its supposed to be art, you like it because you are a fan of him... thats something else

[@MadMidnightDriver]

the first man to understand the POPULAR concept of the "Reality TV". He was, is, and will be a genius.

[@whoisbbg]

He made a youtube video in 1981.

[@roamlikekane]

I'm tittilated by the sound of the bag and the "bounce" of the box on the table as he pops it open and gently lifts the burger from out of it. Then, w/ the crunching of the bag as he crumples it at the end, book-ends the short nicely. The audio is a retro-look into how things were manufactured then, ie: the chemical compound of paper and cardboard some 20 years ago was alot heftier and less bio-degradable than todays fast-food containers. Fascinating.

[@sheshosha]

Oh my goodness, he was sp cool I love the faces he makes

[@ohsoprettyeyed]

i love this. people are just so interesting.

[@LambdaDrS]

he lived in his own world; great artist

[@bichomaldito]

When you study it carefully, you find out is not as ridiculous as it seems. And that's why I love it.

[@mcenn]

I really like his style. Just this week I sat in a Burger King eating lunch next to a lot of marginally employed (at best) people and people on jury duty. I was shovelling down a giant $6.95 combo meal thinking 1. that it was way too much food for one sitting, 2. that Heinz ketchup is a godsend, and 3. that I could steal a giant handful of napkins to defray $1 off my general expenses. So, since I'm probably too lazy to write up or film my thoughts beyond this post,I'm glad Warhol made this film!

[@mad7o7]

The man is a genius. he was able to fool so many peoplewith his trickery. I bow to him for that lulz

[@oliverdevarenne]

What a guy! He was great!

[@AdaDariz]

muy chido corto! jaja sin duda todo un genio! au!

[@TangoBravoPapa-82]

This is andy. It was originally a part of Jørgen Leth's 66 Scenes from America, from 1981.

[@sewasam]

i agree i loveeee that sound and the ketchup thing too! i wish bags today crinkled that good!

[@grapehyacinth]

I love this man.

[@magegirl8]

Funny you said you don't want to eat alone cause of this. This video made me really want to eat alone, and enjoy the natural following of my personal pattern, and enjoy it as a ritual, an event.

[@galandember]

The thing that awesome in this, that Andy Warhol became famous with it and became a known artist even after his death.

[@fmbighair]

so many little nuances that i love about this...the sound of the crinkling paper is one..he also places the ketchup on the paper and dips the burger in it rather than spreading it on the burger? i wonder what that background noise is? I really do love the sound of that crinkling paper...

[@sandroxido]

fantastic

[@Modest139]

Just goes to show that if you put 100% into whatever it is your doing, well, thats art!

[@SlickCat570x68j2z]

i like the end ... he's digesting. and it leaves you to question "what the hell just happend." and then he tells you : "My name is Andy Warhol and I just finished eating a hamburger."

[@LupinWolfy]

For some reason I felt compelled to watch this entire video and somehow I did watch this entire video. Now I have a craving for a hamburger and I don't even really like hamburgers.

[@thesnickers3997]

THIS VIDEO IS GENIUS

[@panodafish]

Excelent, vraiment génial ! ^^

[@Qwistopher]

I totally love it!

[@emopoppins]

he called me yesterday and told me he did the silent part to make everyone wonder what he was thinking. he was really just thinking about eating that yummy ass hamburger. LOLOLOL.

[@Zorrothar]

I have to admit it, at first I thought what most people think when they watch this - 'great, he's eating a burger, so what, I can do that, and BETTER!' - but I've watched it about 5 times now. Strangely entertaining and interesting.

[@ckhid]

Lolhilarious piece. Art is whatever we make it

[@colectivoafromedusa]

i definitely agree with myview28 when he says "it doesn´t come out" its like looking at a 7 year old kid a true performance. genius!

[@JessTheSkank]

Think I'll have one for dinner. Thanks for the idea, Mr. Warhol. :D

[@rollinstrummin]

Look at the ketchup in a glass bottle, a problem we don't have anymore:)

[@XDevotedxProtectorX]

Andy is perfection

[@jonahledesma]

I watched this video because it's of someone eating a hamburger, silently. It's really good for ASMR.

[@PlebeianGoth]

OMFG, that was awesome! He ate a friggin burger!!!!!!!!

[@hajihill]

I wouldn't say it ruins it. In fact, the wonder of it is, to me, that it works as art on many levels. It could be argued to be unaesthetic, but presented as art, making it an artistic commentary on art. This leads you to reflect on the role of the presentation in art, and whether marketing itself is art. This forms one of Warhol's central themes. It works as art because it's an abstraction of an ordinary event, returning it to a simple artistic norm. And, so on.

[@thEyesores]

this videp makes me hungry and also makes me laugh, i couldnt just stop watching the man eat a burger... why?

[@YewLogs026]

It shows that something that we all do and pretty much see everyday such as eating and watching others eat, can be so foreign and awkward if it is portrayed in the right light, such as this.

[@danju2]

It's hard to explain how many thought just went through my mind right now.

[@TheBigJew]

art is in the eye of the beholder...

[@TimPiper]

perfection

[@Deloreansyk]

The ultimate foreshadowing of what would become "reality television."

[@emphaticapathy]

Why did I watch it all the way through? It shouldn't have been that fascinating. Does celebrity have that much power?

[@lakaumbucha]

this is the best bk commercial I've ever seen.

[@johnthehappyjohn]

Just a quick update, I started eating burgers like he does two days ago, and i've never looked back Thanks Andy. :)

[@whooperpooper86]

my sister got me a banana poster of his art. i love it. its soooo cooooooooooool

[@Orangeflava]

at 2:02 when he takes off 1 bun then folds the burger to dip-OMG that is EPIC!!

[@WhiteNacho]

Now this is art!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

andy warhol was an enigma. very interesting man.

[@gnativerson]

thanks a lot

[@magegirl8]

I hate a lot of problems with AW - but i really enjoyed this video, I enjoyed the concept, i enjoyed just watching it... It really made me about a lot of things. Humanity is so fascinating, there is so much behind every little thing that we do.

[@rickjustice]

Awesome!

[@Tom3744]

@Chubbysoccer art is based on interpertations right? My interpertation is it doesn't matter if you a average joe or a eccentric artist or how you eat the burger, a burger by the king still taste alright.

[@zeppelin707]

Brilliant

[@YanTales]

loved it.. very psychedelic

[@matyeubrazil]

je m'étonne toujours de ce regard d'enfant, malgré ce statut de star, didõle, de patron de l art Pop, cet homme n'en reste pas moins un enfant, avec une merveilleuse intuition (The velvet s'est lui ... loor reed aussi...) bref, l'image d'un genie un peu paumé qui quoi qu'il fasse il sait surprendre. Un andré breton américain ...

[@theatreisforloverz]

Yes, Heinz Ketchup! Love it.

[@matschbirne111]

great idea!!!!

[@101Volts]

Zorrothar: WOW, That is something to think about! Seriously! I mean it!

[@jnbuben]

We miss you, man.

[@Pseudonym10]

I love it.

[@Josephers]

xD! That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing =D

[@Airhockeylirare]

haha cool vid. Love Andy

[@Sxyg0]

aw this makes me hungry, :[ i love andy.

[@Oceena]

I don't know if I was laughing at him or laughing at myself for watching him!

[@greeeeecia]

mierda eso fue increible. THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

[@JasmineEvelyn]

I love him.

[@JordanCrowderFilms]

Although you may not appreciate it, he's pointing out a very obvious question and commentary on "art." What it is art? Who decided? Your very statement assumes that there's a box or set of rules to define what art really is.

[@AntheanCeilliers]

My hero.

[@natuman]

heheh, the end made me chuckle. just because he's an artist, doesn't mean that everything he does is supposed to blow your mind. he must've had a lot of spare time in that factory of his, my bet is he got bored and thought making a movie would be a good way to pass the time.

[@MockEmpire]

lol we should beam this video into space

[@mawoh]

Boy-oh-boy! Now that's what I call some damn fine not-joint-rolling!

[@DashBorinstein]

Pretty fantastic

[@eeb101]

Super, that is just excellent to know. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I want a double cheese burger [sandwich] now...

[@Jstyl3s]

@jeffhinkle100 that's just a thought from you as an individual, most allegorical meanings behind no one will ever know unless the artist himself tells you. Art is too difficult and too complicated to find the hidden meaning behind it. I choose not to try and search for the meaning that much unless I truly enjoy the piece of art and want to know so much more. I just marvel and the brilliant idea that artist came up with and how intriguing it is.

[@ROCK5LIN]

He's great ya know.

[@dlg5024]

Most of you are completely misinterpreting Warhol's approach to art and movies... His point wasn't to make everyday objects seem interesting, in fact it was the complete opposite. His point was to take mass produced images and shove them back into the consumers face basically to ask "to what extent is art? What should be appreciated and what should be overlooked as just ordinary?" That's why he called his workshop "the Factory"

[@lokithor83]

i don't know what it is but i keep coming back to see this video.. maybe it's because i'm hungry..

[@thedirty_bird]

He's so art

[@sibrent1]

you obviously read the title that clearly says "not rolling a joint". therefor it doesn't have anything to do with rolling a joint...

[@ViraFilmsRomania]

YOU ARE WRONG. THIS IS ART!

[@sirk7475]

Boo Hoo JLZ. thanks for sharing

[@pristinerecords]

Oh my god this just made me realize that I'm so hungry!! And I really want a burger

[@GregBollMN]

It's definitely Andy. A segment from this short film was also used in a documentary of the legendary artist.

[@Paperdoll666]

he did say we would promote his name in any possible way i don't see the effort in his art, in fact, he said it was effortless, he took mass selling products and put his name on them warhol himself viewed art as pure business, a lot of his ideas came from others, and some of his paintings were done by others too it was all about selling his 'art', which he didn't even consider art

[@aptpupil77]

@zebracactusshark I don't think Mcdonalds thinks this is stupid, specially the marketing department, think beyond the box. Btw. do you have any thoughts of eating a burger anytime soon, wondering why!

[@angeloreccagni]

un profeta del suo tempo...

[@Respectthewilderness]

woow..that's art

[@UnRelentingAlly]

OMG that blew my mind

[@NotoriousBMG]

wow i just sat through that whole thing, idk how lmao
