CM Punk's Grammar Slam - Literally vs. Figuratively

[@wagdawgwag872]

Literally has completely replaced seriously.

[@mynameisjeff3383]

Yeah literally

[@callumnicholson9267]

+My Name Is Jeff CM Punk is now literally about to kill you

[@truthhurts4034]

By morons

[@themacocko6311]

Literally?

[@scottburton9741]

John Cena gets into Intensive care after the fire is put out. "Where am I" "ICU" "No you don't"

[@strahinjagov]

I've figuratively watched this video 1000 times lol

[@dakotaray1243]

I did it. Literally.

[@jessesmith6018]

I AM NOT LITERALLY A PIECE OF SHIT XD

[@ageniewitdabeanie9637]

Since I was 10 CM Punk has been my favorite WWE Superstar ever and he still is. He has great sense of humor.

[@TownieGirl1974]

This is literally fantastic.

[@broon8CFC]

You're right.

[@TownieGirl1974]

It's better to be right than wrong! You're very nice to say I am right! I wish I was there in person to shake your hand and say "Thank You". How'd I do CM Punk? Do I need a Grammar Slam?

[@InfernAlien]

+Karen Catizone And it's also figuratively fantastic. It's fantastic in any forms.

[@mateusparcianello5545]

Literally on fire. Man that was funny "Someone gotta put it out" LOL

[@alexudrescu9472]

+Mateus Parcianello CM Punk is going to find you and he's gonna literally smash that bottle into your head.

[@mateusparcianello5545]

+Alex Udrescu Then, I will be literally bleeding.

[@alexudrescu9472]

Mateus Parcianello Then you will literally go to the hospital.

[@mateusparcianello5545]

+Alex Udrescu And I will be figuratively fucked.

[@alexudrescu9472]

Mateus Parcianello I guess you will be literally fucked if a busty blonde treats you.

[@YTMrJūggs]

They should have made more episodes of this series. I've learned more watching this then I have at School.

[@D22Games]

I learned something today. Literally.

[@cenagirl202x]

"As you see me stand here before you I am a human being, Literally." xD

[@musa7514]

Standing*

[@alelugo4237]

Hey u should do a video that aj Lee and dean Ambrose MV with cm punk and Paige Knight

[@HiSaimanSays]

CM Punk is figuratively the best in the world.

[@republicofsandles]

A professional wrestler is teaching grammar. The nerd age has begun.

[@BeezSays]

This is my premier annoyance in life. Great call!

[@sgufanboy]

"Literally... Is just that! I don't even know how to explain it, the fuckin' definitition is literally!" I fell off my chair laughing XD

[@KineticGTR]

lol. Reminds me of Henry Rollins

[@RyuBlack93]

Oh hell yeah... I so agree with that! lmao

[@tander101]

Rollins... Did you see what Seth Rollins did last Monday Night RAW?

[@mahdi_r7]

@@tander101Yeah he literally got jumped by Bronson Reed

[@CyricZ]

His transformation into Wolverine is almost complete.

[@Shweet224]

Oh man, time to binge-watch these videos!

[@TheDarkLordOfBass]

He's doing really well, Punk. Not "doing really good."

[@CooperHughes1]

I wish he'd do another, where he goes over, to, too, and two.

[@CarloVeraSoliz]

Affect and effect could be mentioned too

[@dannylamb456]

Carlo Vera Soliz We figuratively need this for the survival of the English language. Not literally because, well, we're still using English and it's still being used.

[@kryceksangel]

Season 2 started on Monday

[@pokemonpacific-rimmech-x4a876]

Cm punk tell John Cena that he sucks

[@odin-gamingandwrestling7141]

He just did a week ago. After 5 damn years.

[@kryceksangel]

Where do we line up to spit on Cena?

[@srepahzatulzzz9610]

When he is literally on fire in the ring

[@moret25]

+Sean Avery Or when he's trying to look like he's from the Hood.

[@ethanbiondi8669]

moret25 OR when he ruins the WWE and all wrestlers there.

[@FFcecil1991]

😂 yes!

[@GG2137GG]

Some people use "literally" figuratively, to describe figurative things. Just like not everyone uses "figuratively" literally, but to describe obvious things. Words aren't meant to be used literally all the time, and the same goes for "literally". Otherwise, about half of the phrases would make no sense.

[@Shaqstheman000]

It's a joke

[@GG2137GG]

Shaqstheman000 I actually might have had a point there

[@GG2137GG]

Peter Robert Wilson I must've missclicked "view replies", pardon

[@Icanbarelyfinishpersonagames]

I come back to this series often, i first watched it when i was about 12 or 13 and this video particularly, i remember watching vividly. it taught me how to properly use literally, so thank you Mr punk.

[@ZarlanTheGreen]

I think pro wrestling is crap, yet here I am watching a pro wrestler and loving the guy. It's a weird old world.

[@Saltyoven]

I don't like wrestling, But I like CM Punk.

[@89jomama]

I like UFC better but I like CM Punk lmao If that makes sense at all.

[@jonathanayala375]

+Evan Hollis, well, now CM Punk just signed to join the UFC, so, you get to like both CM Punk and UFC a little more.

[@216oddball]

Every time I hear "literally" being abused, I put this video on and it makes my day.

[@MysteriousJG]

Punk, please save us. New print dictionaries and online dictionaries have taken to including a second definition of literally, which is basically...figuratively. I think Google's dictionary says literally can be "used for emphasis" and Mirriam-Webster now includes "virtually" as a synonym of literally. The fact that this is happening is basically society giving up on people ever speaking correctly. So again Punk, please save us. (Oh, and we wouldn't mind having AJ back on TV to entertain us either, if you're still feeling generous after rescuing the language).

[@IAmGunzNoob]

Well... the English language tends to evolve, as time progress, just look at olde English. Things will be much different in the future... LITERALLY! xD

[@WTFisTingispingis]

Make this man his own TV show IMMEDIATELY.

[@Zeeeemonolith]

I'm just watching these to see that guy get hit with things.

[@xavierscott222]

This series needs to be on tv

[@sml7495]

Wow...who wants Punk as his English teacher?

[@javelincheshire6358]

Please do more of these videos. They are brilliant!

[@imranbecks]

This is literally hilarious!

[@FarBeyondTheStrat]

Plot Twist: He literally tracked down every bottle in southern California and recycled it.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I am definitely guilty of this mistake. Mainly because it's easier to say literally than figuratively. Is there another word for figuratively?????

[@adzarsenal39]

virtually

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Dumb Pagan Oh, nice.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Caitlin Tierney Well, what Punk meant is when someone is on fire, it doesn't mean literally because if I put fire on your body, it would burn. Frankly, I am not a Punk fan anymore but I agree with him.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Caitlin Tierney Well, that's what the comment was said. That's why Punk corrected him and say Cena can't be literally on fire because he would be burned to a crisp.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Caitlin Tierney Wow, u sure have a lot to say.

[@JustusScottJr]

I'm figuratively peeing my pants laughing.

[@DrJReefer]

I'd pay good money to see Cena literally on fire.

[@hunterxhunterman]

OMG! I subscribed immediately after I finished watching this guy's rant...LITERALLY! It doesn't matter who he is. With his education, physique and the way he carries himself this man is just what people who don't care about grammar need in order to wake them the hell up and say how do to the world.

[@yaoibakemonodesu]

I figuratively lmao

[@TheMetalAllfather]

This is LITERALLY the funniest of the Grammar Slam videos I've seen yet.

[@Alex1995gr]

1:00 I Figuratively died hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

[@atsushiikeda6730]

This is figuratively my favorite video ever. Their needs to be more of these. These are better then any of the other videos threw and threw.

[@wilrivera2668]

... please do AFFECT and EFFECT :o)

[@leetherilus6097]

No, CM Punk. It's not just you. Thank you for this

[@memeklp7139]

Thanks that you gave me an A in english :D (im german ;D)

[@BBTomahawk12]

congratulations!

[@memeklp7139]

BBTomahawk12 THX =3

[@tom-cy9dp]

im chilean and i know better inglish now

[@memeklp7139]

Tommy Crisóstomo Inglish? XD

[@Juniper_Rose]

CM Punk is literally the best grammar teacher. And I know the difference. I watched the video.

[@legopicklesnake]

I know right? The best grammar teachers always use improper grammar when teaching!!

[@Juniper_Rose]

Mike Peterson The next video should be the difference between grammar and syntax.

[@WraithTDK]

I suspect most people who make this "mistake" know the difference and just don't really care.

[@SkilesHasFun]

I think you may be giving them more credit than they deserve. :P

[@ZarlanTheGreen]

That would make it worse. They'd have to be even more stupid ...and dickish.

[@WraithTDK]

ZarlanTheGreen No, it would not make them more stupid, just apathetic.

[@ZarlanTheGreen]

***** It's not apathy, when you *deliberately choose* to say something in a wrong way. It's not a choice between the easy way, or the more difficult way, like people who are too lazy to spell check and things like that. If you know the difference, any time you use it incorrectly, you *choose* to say it in a wrong way, when you could have just as easily (I'd argue _more_ easily) said it correctly.

[@WraithTDK]

ZarlanTheGreen And why would one deliberately choose to say something the wrong way? Because it effectively illustrates their point. Like it or not, most people know what they mean when they say that. Therefore, the only reason for them *not* to say that is because it's grammatically correct. So they have a reason to say it, and a reason *not* to say it.However, said reason has no effect if the person saying it doesn't care about said reason. And what do we call it when someone doesn't care? That's right. *Apathy.*

[@piercebottomtext4827]

I know I'm late but...this is LITERALLY the greatest series on KZbin xD

[@AlexRoyale]

This is hilarious. He's brilliant. Can we get more of these? Can he just get his own KZbin series? "This week, on Grammar Slam, with me, C.M. Punk...."

[@coldste]

I love punk when he done stuff like this

[@FatalistBY]

This is the best show I've ever seen on KZbin. Literally.

[@Peppa505]

9 years later and I still come to watch these videos

[@BarryAllenBG]

me too he is the best in the world

[@SamOnMaui]

We literally needed someone like you at my old newspaper to deal with all the cranks and "letters to the editor" crazies/eccentrics :P

[@TheKaisama]

These videos are amazing. Thank you, Matt and Pat.

[@LeeFitz316]

I literally shit my pants over these videos. These are the funniest things you have ever done.

[@MattHoIt]

1:25 "Doing good" is doing a good deed. You should have said "Doing well" to describe John Cena's hot streak. Grammar Slammed

[@Thisisjamesg]

No, punk was right

[@Eric-bk6zu]

My god I love these. CM Punk beats people over grammar to make the world a better place.

[@omgwtfusernamelol]

you've driven me figuratively crazy, you may have driven me literally crazy, but i can't explain the difference to you, because you don't understand the difference between figuratively and literally.

[@CKing97]

This is literally one of the funniest things I've seen all year.

[@SecretGerms]

i went to a church service with my mom recently, just to make her happy, and the pastor said, "paul literally turned the ephesians world upside down". it took every ounce of strength i could muster, to not raise my hand, so that i could correct him.

[@THEMaverickLucky7]

So I literally used "literally" the wrong way the entire time? MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE

[@mjay2495]

I literally miss CM PUNK👻💕

[@DethklokMinion]

This is LITERALLY one of the funniest shows on youtube.

[@ns12891]

Cm punk is literally the best person to be doing this series! LITERALLY!!!

[@DangerousGirlMusic]

OMG THANK YOU!!! One of my friends just got in the habit of using 'literally' wrong. Which is one of my biggest pet peeves. Along with when people use the word 'legit'. Which is something I have come to accept that same friend will never stop doing.

[@Scruffygames88]

We literally need more CM Punk Grammar Slam

[@EdgeVStriker]

Yes I would like to see more. Here's a concept contribution from someone I heard recently: In regards to seeing 'souls' saved during an outreach, the word 'soles' was used instead.

[@LadyCowbell]

I think this is the best of the Grammar Slams

[@amysrevenge]

This one is the best of the series for sure.

[@WTFisTingispingis]

This man is a goddamn national treasure.

[@joablucky4876]

I never get tired of watching this

[@CONVERSE1991]

Wow, this is amazing. I was literally listening to CM Punk's Nerdist podcast earlier today where he and Chris Hardwick were talking about doing this show.

[@mattomsay]

Crying at how mad he's getting, so good.

[@ericharrison8639]

He made a grammar error, "he's not just doing really good"

[@TheArt0fSilence]

I wish my LA teacher was CM Punk. It would make class so much more bearable.

[@Anthonymorison1]

This is Literally the best video on the internet.

[@Lil_Snug]

You should watch his "then, than" episode, and then tell me how your use "then" relates to time. Don't check my typo with arbitrary adverbs at the beginning of your sentence.

[@Aiiml3ssTM]

This is the greatest thing i've found on youtube

[@nnydepp]

Can't wait and don't want to wait for a potential slam?

[@SeventhCircleSaint]

They LITERALLY have to make more of these videos with Punk.

[@Metalyger]

This needs to be required viewing for everyone who intends to type anything on the internet.

[@naomiwilson79]

The is LITERALLY one of the funniest thing I have have seen. I love Cm Punk!

[@theshawnarm]

Two Best Friends talking about Nerdist? I am in fan heaven.

[@cstrife999]

Ha ha didn't even know this existed. Love the way Punk delivers on this.

[@dirkusunleashed3587]

I figuratively laughed my ass off. I literally laughed so hard that I had trouble breathing for a moment, there.

[@esraaelmeehy8396]

i figuratively see CM PUNK every day ,i mean , literally in my dreams

[@lunargamer5261]

I literally lol'd at this. That doesn't happen very often. Thank you so much!

[@ZxRScout]

CM Punk you are literally one of my favorite people, YOU RECEIVE THE RANKING OF NUMBER 5!

[@NestanSvensk]

It's not just you, CM. It's not just you.

[@tonystewartrocks14]

Please do more of these, Punk.

[@evodmasters]

This is a public service. Thank you Punk.

[@brycedorand5020]

Doing really WELL.

[@TheBretDark]

I literally littered litter that literally said literally litter literal litter on it.

[@muhammadusamahshahid6805]

Cena's on fire? SPIT ON HIM!

[@DeadmanInc336]

It's almost like Punk is reaching into my brain and pulling out my thoughts. Figuratively.

[@Rebecca262626]

More of these Videos Please!! I literally need more of these videos!!!

[@upthebikez]

I see LITERALLY dozens of comments every day on internet forums where people do this and I have to restrain myself from correcting their poor grammar.

[@Londonguy1987_]

"if he's literally on fire - the man is gonna perish" - i lol'd.

[@AndrewRolls]

this is literally the best episode

[@topster888]

CM Punk correcting people's grammar is literally the greatest thing ever. Yes, I mean "literally". As in this is better than absolutely everything that's ever happened.

[@johnjakobs1536]

this is literally the best show ever

[@Trolades]

This is literally his best video
