  3. Listening to a conversation between Cenk and Ben is like goddamn poetry. They flow like Fred and Ginger. Ben can literally finish Cenk’s thoughts.

    Great old school. Well done boys.

  4. So there are 119 people with the last name Uygur in Sweden.
    There are two men who have it as their first given name.

    Also 69 people with the last name Ugur and 142 men have Ugur as a given name of which 121 use it as their first name.

  5. Ben is a good example of what’s wrong with liberals. He doesn’t want to admit that there are innate differences between men and women (boys and girls). That doesn’t mean that every boy and girl fit the stereotypes, but on average boys like guns and truck and girls like dolls. I’ve known a number of lib parents that were really disappointed when their kids followed gender stereotypes despite the efforts of their parents to not instill societal expectations on them.

    Ben falls for the common mistake of believing something because its what he wants to believe rather than what the evidence shows.

      1. Your post makes it clear you didn’t read what I wrote.

        I am in favor of reason and facts, even when they make people uncomfortable.

  7. Aaaahhh, what old school’s been missing. It would be petulant to demand all episodes were like this but this really was great.

  9. I love Old School Old School!

    Heck, there is a Jaws 4.

    Ben should do like Mommy Dearest and let his daughter pick one of her presents to keep. The rest go to charity.

    Now I want to eat at McDonald’s even less knowing the story about how the original founders didn’t even get 1%.

    If you checked your bags, you know you have a wait anyway so you can take your time getting there. However, I agree that you should walk on the walkways.

    I love restaurants that make exactly one thing, like that cheese steak place.

    “Someone’s getting beaten.”

    “Fruit me? Fruit you!”

    “I’m famously fat.”

  10. Ben’s sass was completely on point, and the two of them together are hilarious. This whole thing cracked me up so much.

    “I think the word you’re looking is hemmed”

    “You’re not that dumb”
    “Agree to disagree”

    “Eh.. it’s an okay movie”
    “Disagree. Agree to disagree. No, I’m not going to disagree, that’s just wrong”

    Burned.

  11. I’m just saying, if Star Wars doesn’t hold up, then there is no way The French Connection holds up either. No way.

    And the key to a crisp collar on an older dress shirt is by using collar stays.

  12. I am a paying member of TYT AND a classic movie fan who loves TCM as well. The 2 interests are not incompatible?. Keep up the good work Ben.

  13. I still enjoy Ben appearing on shows even though his perspectives are absolute shit that only a 60+ year old would find commonality with. Rocky 58 times better than Star Wars as an example? I guess that’s why he’s working for TCM which average audience age is probably 85. Nonetheless, TYT does need some different voices and Ben can be the voice of the over the hill out of touch establishment group in any social circle that thinks they are still ‘with it’. Good work Ben, everyone needs one of those in the group that everyone talks about later in a somewhat joking manner about how ‘old fashioned’ and ‘out of touch’ they are with the current state of the world.

    1. I’m 29 and love Ben’s perspective. I also watch TCM and know plenty of millennials who do too. Having an appreciation of old culture and classic films doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re out of touch with current trends. It actually gives you a much better historical framework so you can see how things became what they are today.

      And I also 100% agree with him on Star Wars though it’s obviously an extreme minority opinion :P

  14. In the Netherlands, most residential areas are deliberately designeds so you can not use them as through roads with a motor vehicle. It is possible for people who are walking or cycling. This increases safety and makes the neighbourhood quieter.

    So Ben & Cenk, how many people did you annoyed because you were in a hurry and were “racing” through their neighbourhood? :D

  15. Love this show! This is hilarious! I can’t believe how helpless brilliant men an be, I thought the ones in my life were the only ones.

  17. I love this Old School, talking blissfully about all the junk food they eat. I worry about Cenk’s health. He is so important to all of us.

  18. Cenk and Ben are my favorite TYTers, so this was fun watching each one vie for the mike. I really didn’t care about the food stuff, but I could have watched an hour and a half of Ben playing “Did you ever see?” with Cenk. I love good classic movies and hadn’t realized Cenk was so deficient in this area. How could he have never seen Jaws?

  19. Cenk:…and people talk shit about ground beef… and that enrages me!

    My dad was a meat salesman, not a f**king chicken salesman…pork, steaks, ribs, sweetbreads, blood sausage, ham, bacon, … now that’s meat!!

  20. If “Fruit Me?”….”FRUIT YOU!!” doesn’t make a TYT ad or hat or ……just something, then what are any of us doing….?

  21. Couple things. Star Wars is an amazing film with some incredible special effects for the era. Also, sorry, but fast food is not healthy. Tastes good, sure, but far from healthy.

  23. Ben said “It’s a moving walkway, not a standway.”… I say something similar to my dog Tiki on walks:
    “Tiki, this is a walk, not a stop and sniff!”

  24. Where I live in NH, all the taco bells are also KFC. Never though twice that I might seem weird to buy chicken dishes.

  25. The key is putting the ketchup for the breakfast sandwich on the hash browns rather than the eggs
    Same way its better to pair carrots with ranch rather than dipping the pizza directly into the ranch

  26. Here in MI, Wendy’s has 4 for $4. A single with cheese, small fries, small drink, and your choice of a crispy chicken sandwich, or 4 nuggets.

  28. NO CENK: Do not see Jaws. You will never feel safe in water again. Even a swimming pool! That well works on your sub conscious.

    1. Absolutely…
      & there has got to be some kind of doubling of whatever points are to be deducted by having also not seen Jaws.
      So thats a deduction for each movie, & then you have to double it for the combination.
      Controversially, I give him a pass on Star Wars… Some one had to say it.

  32. Ben is very wrong about two things in this episode:

    1.) Star Wars is an excellent film and stands on its own as a classic sci-fi space opera of epic portion. It frankly eats JAWS’s lunch.

    2.) Chicken (diced) at Taco Bell is essential.

    That is all.

  35. Are you kidding me, I get my shirts from the company who’s founder literally invented the modern shirt, individually they cost about £40 each but every few months they have an sale and I get 4 shirts for £80, so £20 each, these are high quality pure oxford and twill cotton shirts… and these are ordered online… and I just had an email saying my shirts I ordered yesterday are in my mail room ready for collection.

    Here’s the thing with ordering online… the stuff comes right from the distribution centre, its not sat in a store for a while and had a heap of people try it on and heaps of sticky fingers all over it…. its the future, and you can get the internet on computers now so its all so very easy

  38. The modern day of version of when you find your kid smoking and making them smoke the whole pack, force binge watching Netflix
