"I found out about war and I'm in favour of it"

[@dburton271]

LOLOLOL!!!! That had me Rollin!!!!!

[@alskndlaskndal]

Classic album

[@silas7013]

“Mecha Guthrie” jesus these guys are good

[@Pudgyplumber]

An ambulance falling out of the sky and taking his lips away on a stretcher sounds like something out of a 1965 Dylan song.

[@mikefire98]

"Mecha Guthrie" That got me real fuckin good dude.

[@Jack_Slate]

The label on the guitar vs the label on the assault rifle

[@Dr0dd]

Now I believe a lot of the stuff you tell us, but that man putting his hand on his hips? That's too farfetched

[@thefinalmessage2444]

Hips are a myth

[@tyro244]

No, no. Hips are real, just not on men.

[@thefinalmessage2444]

tyro244 stop you're making me blush to a point where my arse has become a sentient separate entity due to blushment thanks .

[@Schwa_Iska]

That was Shakira’s grandpappy. I know it SOUNDS unbelievable, but those hips don’t lie

[@lucystarlight8887]

I'm a big fan of the "This Machine Kills Woody Guthrie" sticker on the gun

[@vermontythehillbilly2838]

"I AM BOB DYLAN, BUT WHAT IS WAR?" "I FOUND OUT ABOUT WAR AND I'M IN FAVOR OF IT" August 29, 2018

[@kingfuzzy2]

The fake history ones are the best.

[@RealAntek]

aragonjohn7 fake?

[@robbert9611]

Elvis on the toilet. So good.

[@kingfuzzy2]

@@RealAntek yes you got it

[@FREQQLES]

Almost as good as that Bowie concert, live from the vacuum of space.

[@MeMeMcsplosion]

Sound was terrible at that gig, you couldn't make out any of the lyrics.

[@rattyeely]

I don't understand why people at the time we're so shocked, of course he was inevitably going to go electric, what else can you expect from a cyborg?

[@catshumpcats3]

As a guitarist, this video is so accurate. Very cool moment in history.

[@laudanum669]

A late friend of mine was friends with Dylan and we went to a show and hung out with Bob for awhile. I don't think I said five words. Very surreal.

[@pussylord1095]

I can't wait for the episode on 9/11

[@dragonridley]

This isn't fake. It a documentary from an alternate reality.

[@elysiantree1052]

clickhole is buzzfeed from another reality

[@amythetoon6535]

"professor harmony is addicted to smiling" sounds like a will wood and the tapeworms song

[@deathhzrd]

Ok, mecha-Guthrie May have purposely left plugged in toasters in a water park and all but let’s be honest, that guy played a killer E minor chord

[@thekkl]

This machine kills Woody Guthrie

[@marcmatuza4356]

man I wish i was alive for that

[@antsinmyeyes9547]

School makes me put my hands on my hips

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

People applaud the Newport festival for being a huge turning point in musical history but no one remembers that on that same day, a train summoned by Bob Dylan himself killed an estimated 219 people. Truly tragic…

[@cuckmulligan7602]

He wouldn't address the "train incident" until 1979, by which point most people had forgotten it. Those who did remember thought Slow Train Coming was named in poor taste.

[@GSBarlev]

Except the train he summoned was diverted from a course where it would have killed 503. Contrarians such as yourself love to leave off that detail. 😡

[@artemkurteev]

And thats how you get nobel prize

[@jenbamin1184]

These are insane

[@kidyomu89]

The onion, but for all time periods, and very, very, very, very, very, very ,very exaggerated.

[@jokerman8619]

One guy even put his hand on his hips

[@2degucitas]

Oh, MY!!!

[@BomChickyBowWow]

Is this place run by former Onion writers? That’s both a compliment and a serious question.

[@Julesb2183]

I think they are associated with the Onion. The onion shares their articles on Facebook a ton.

[@maneet2939]

this is the onion, they have a few other channels

[@philipshapkin6607]

I was so confused till like half way 😂 😂 😂

[@ewa690]

You had me for a minute

[@Th3Chibi2]

This is a true story. My friends grandpa’s nephews new born was there and told me the story!

[@ukaszditengou648]

2:32 triggered kira's ptsd in the afterlife

[@CaleBoi-zg6uz]

I got an erection reading this

[@bobs2809]

I can't even imagine.

[@RedBoothStudios2015]

I love how this actually sounds like a story a person who was high from the ‘60s would tell 😂

[@billvolk4236]

Mecha-Guthrie's guitar said "This Machine Kills Woody Guthrie," and unlike Woody Guthrie's guitar, it was factually accurate.

[@2degucitas]

Lol

[@2degucitas]

I avoided subbing this channel because....well, dang it's CLICK HOLE. But, I realize now I missed this gem out of snobbery. There I was, with my hands on my hips....

[@EmperorMonkey35]

2:07 everyone else seems to be enjoying it

[@JohnNovakovich]

Imagine showing Dylan this lol

[@jknifgijdfui]

[@alonectorch7877]

[@Squidward_Tikiland]

[@fuz5567]

[@stevepercival4774]

[@troglodyte4207]

I thought the ambulance landed in David Bowey I am incredibly proud of that Jojo reference

[@Muzazabi]

Now this is a jojo reference I can nut to.

[@CaleBoi-zg6uz]

I got an erection

[@matttangles2106]

[@hellothere5579]

What is so big about this moment ?

[@windmillwilly]

It was a defining moment or the twentieth century

[@hellothere5579]

Didn't answer my question 😕

[@stuckinthepastproductions4329]

Hey, I was expecting real history here!

[@herodlavrovich3244]

[@benabbott9617]

MECHAGUTHRIE

[@paperrocks]

Okay this is all true story.

[@saturatedneowax]

lips! lips! lips!

[@jaysilverheals4445]

Those people could have reflected on things they know such as how did they feel as he got even bigger did they regret booing etc? well done video however it was a mix of comedic comments about a historical tour people would like to know what they thought and think. 9 out of 10 comments were simply crazy comments.

[@eawesomest]

If they're reading from a script then wtf is the purpose of this

[@bojanglesfries]

To be funny...? Its satire
