Spawtlight: The Horrible Truth About Boston

[@powerfusev2]

The mark ruffalo face movement / squinting was on point haha

[@saltyninja]

I'm a MA native and have lived in Boston and this is funny as shit.

[@elizabethlarson4267]

+saltyninja Hey, please elabortate - I know jokes lose their mojo if you have to explain them, but I didn't think it was too funny. Maybe I'm not enough of an insider.

[@JamesRPatrick]

Why not Spahtlight?

[@xxgracefallenxx]

+James Patrick because no one involved with this video actually knows anything about Boston. It was still funny though.

[@CharlesBosse]

+Keith Lyons I dunno, that whole CRV bit is pretty on point.

[@TheSymay]

+Keith Lyons SO TRUE!!! allston representin'

[@MickeyRickshaw]

+James Patrick because the "ah" is what tourists think we speak like

[@JamesRPatrick]

+MickeyRickshaw Just sayin' they're inconsistent. First it's spawtlight and then it's cah.

[@asdfghjkl9260]

Hahahaha That Mark Ruffalo impersonation is uncanny

[@g1rhines]

The best thing about Boston is it's not Philadelphia.

[@TrenchMan93]

g1rhines or anywhere elS

[@shamusk1986]

He pawcked his cah down by the wooter

[@BrentBlueAllen]

Hey! Josh Ruben!

[@saltyninja]

That Mark Ruffalo impression is fantastic.

[@lflee]

1:13 Josh is legit.

[@jonnynice8366]

What's the only funny person from CollegeHumor doing here?

[@aquariusliu24]

he is the only funny person in above average niw i guess

[@asdfghjkl9260]

+JonnyNice Josh Ruben!

[@jacksaunders3953]

God, I haven't seen Josh Ruben in ages!

[@HemogoblinGames]

7 years later... please tell me you've seen the episodes of Gamechanger with him in them (and the spin-off, Make Some Noise)?

[@LeftoversSketchComedy]

Good to see some "Business Work" faces in this. Truly great web series.

[@spandaxedit5976]

what is the music on 1.15?

[@ishmaelbrown6526]

YES! This is so true. Been saying most of this stuff for years. Especially about how racist that city is.

[@CoryMck]

This is the investigative journalism that we need today.

[@FroggyTWrite]

wicked good roast buddy

[@jinxedchef]

And they didn't even mention the shitty road system and traffic.

[@Stephen6131]

I played this in protest of the New England Patroits beating the New York Jets!

[@Ratbas]

Yup. Boston has a goofy accent and a donut chain. Pretty sure that's been covered.

[@isbestlizard]

oh my gosh I remember riding the T.. govahnment centah!

[@LesHaskell]

I usta live in Bedfid. I don't get it.

[@matthewhurton3889]

Did they just say the city with Harvard and MIT is "nothing but safety schools"?

[@pat12344]

Seth Myers already did the Boston movie trailer and it was actually funny

[@Pizza____God]

Boston, and Newark New Jersey. Just places that sucks the joy from life

[@geo-socialscience950]

I moved to Boston for grad school and found it to be very charming. That's who it's for, people who go there for school. I overstayed by over twenty years and after finally moving away for good, my view of it now is exactly what is expressed in the video.

[@ktc67hb]

born and bred in Boston. love it.

[@matthewference402]

OK safety schools? cough cough Harvard MIT and don't give me that camebridge bullshit most of the actual buildings that they use are in Boston and i personally didn't really find the roast funny. None of that shit was true the T its a legit T and the only people that talk like that are from quincy

[@davidgrover9406]

+mathew ference shots fired

[@JBanchiere]

+mathew ference, Boston gets a lot of shit because there many intellectuals who transplant for the great schools and find the local Bostonians a little strange. Which I would agree with. I have never lived in Boston, and I love the city. It's a great walking city, clean, safe, good schools, and the buildings are beautiful. The image, I think, comes from college students moving into rentals in the midst of some pretty hilarious local people. But my daily interactions in Boston are nothing like as portrayed in popular culture.

[@JasonPramas]

+mathew ference welllll ... Harvard Medical School, Harvard Dental School, Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard Business School are all in Boston, but they are not undergrad schools; so they don't count for the purposes of the joke ... and while there are some MIT frats in Boston, and doubtless some other MIT-related stuff there, the school has been solely in Cambridge since 1916 ...

[@helghastslayah1367]

Bah. People from Quincy can’t commute to save their life.

[@nycLPplayer]

nailed it

[@ZeacorZeppelin]

well this escalated quickly

[@taigueogede6711]

Ayyyye, dis is wicked sheisty

[@mikecampbell3952]

This feels like a video version of that Onion article except, y'know, not as good.

[@DavidDiez]

Only needed to see this video to convince me to subscribe :)

[@juangutierrez7760]

I'll take product placement for $500 Alex.

[@blismwithmyblizblop]

Josh Ruben!

[@NotchNetwork]

The Average must be really low if u think ur above

[@osonhouston]

Making fun of the T? As a kid me and my brothers would go from Dorchester to Down Town to the Teddy bear arcade pretty damn cheap.

[@LittlestWinslow]

This video should have MILLIONS of views. Because BOSTON.

[@Sneezes_LoL]

New York just Jealous they have 3 times the teams and 1/3rd the Championships.

[@j0nm1ck3ns5]

& ur response is why everyone else in the country despises Boston. If professional sports is all you have to defend your city with, it probably sucks harder than girl did last nite. Scratch that, I wouldn't touch a chick from Boston. They're grossly obese & annoying af, like you. Foh!!!

[@Sneezes_LoL]

5 rings son

[@znickz]

Do one on Portland! Haha

[@moeinreallife3316]

Yassss! Do that please!

[@CharlesBosse]

+MoeInRealLife ! Yeeeesss, spoof a spoof, that will be hilarious!

[@deanofranksammy]

Great STUFFFF! I gotta go pahk my cah now...

[@hopetha7512]

Why do people acting like they are from boston in movies say words with a new york accent thats not how a boston accent sounds at all get ur shit straight

[@j0nm1ck3ns5]

Cuz NO ONE CARES ABOUT TRASH FROM BOSTON!!! Everyone jus laughs @ how trashy & ignorant u r!

[@elizabethlarson4267]

Eh, I wasn't offended, but why didn't I think it was funny? Maybe I'm just not hip enough.

[@godbluffvdgg]

The puke take was funny...Boston is a great city!....Respect from philly! But, Knowing Boston like I do, this was hilarious...

[@vp200]

The T stuff and the nasty Dunkin Donuts coffee is spot on! As a Black woman I just don't see or experience the racism everyone associates with Boston, I do live in the suburbs though. Boston's still trying to live down that school integration stuff that happened in the seventies.

[@Lacombe57]

Sadly this "comic" routine parody of a movie stands upon the shoulders of an important event to launch it's joke. What's next humor about the homeless?

[@docsavage8640]

Hope so. It'd be better than throwing more phony costly "solutions" that don't address the actual problem but only make the politicians and nonprofits feel good spending other people's money.

[@MakingTimeInBoston]

Hilarious, but the accent failure was truly cringeworthy, and not a patch on the recent Seth Myers Boston movie trailer spoof.

[@Alex-km7so]

This would be really funny if I lived there

[@paradoxacres1063]

Hilarious.

[@mattyvolcano]

Seth Meyers did it bettah, kehd.

[@FrostedHoneyCupCakes]

Smh I'm black from Boston we do exist here. And boring to those who aren't from here. Stop coming here only for school lol maybe that's the problem. Lol and only olddddddddd Bostonians have the accent. Lol funny video all in all.

[@ThomasLeo]

The accents in this video are wicket bad, it's pretty hard to watch. It was clearly made by people who grew up in the suburbs and whose only exposure to Boston accents was via movies staring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Dunkins coffee does seriously taste like battery acid though haha.

[@JasonPramas]

hilarious, but the accents are completely wrong ...

[@kmatlaker]

that was gawd awful, what a waste of production time.

[@FawziBreidi]

why is everyone still using CRT screens?

[@CharlesBosse]

+Fawzi Breidi Maybe you missed that this was a spoof of a movie that was set in 2001, before flat screens were ubiquitous.

[@FawziBreidi]

thanks for the info! i wasn't paying attention i guess.

[@Pandor25]

Hey josh Ruben. :D Been a while since i last saw him at college humor. :) But i admit i unbookmarked them like 1 month or 2 ago, their website was making my comp lag. I think it's because it's loaded the page like a thousand time when i was watching video. :/

[@oohlalarecordings]

this MAY or MAY NOT be the funniest thing we've seen all year. Who else is with us? Sorry Boston...New York is better!

[@suzieqtruth6377]

hilarious. mark ruffalo

[@holliella]

Make a video about how torontos kinda fun

[@synocate5602]

do the seagull

[@helghastslayah1367]

Jesus, my muddah's in Boston

[@Petie52683]

Go to the comment section of Boston.com on Facebook and all of this will be proven

[@davidgrover9406]

Helen Keller would have made a better video.

[@saltyninja]

+David Grover Well she was a genius, so maybe you're right.

[@jamessullivan7511]

You realize you're making fun of a movie that talks about uncovering sexual assaults done by priests? There are many other movies that involve the Boston area that you could've chosen to make fun of. Rape is a serious matter that isn't treated seriously. This honestly makes it worse.

[@112233jjooee]

josh

[@M22-u4x]

Weird, angry video that's not even funny.

[@Parolonutt]

I like the band

[@docsavage8640]

Hilarious

Spawt-on

[@ke6ziu]

I was there in May of last year; with the exception of the libtards running the state into the ground, Boston wasn't that bad... I worked for a company based in Tewksbury, and got into Bawston... the traffic was horrible, but Rick's wasn't bad! Plus, I had a good tour guide!

[@rebeccax592]

lol - a Bostonian

[@StephenPike]

BOOOOOOOOOOO

[@StephenPike]

+Stephen Pike Don't get the "joke" I guess, but I unsubscribed. This wasn't funny or clever.

[@timokeefe8476]

HILARIOUS
