Bill O’Reilly seems like the kind of guy who’d watch that video of a corgi wearing a life jacket jumping into water, and say, “That woman should stop parading her mammaries around like that, or else the terrorists have already won.” So it should come as no surprise that not only doesn’t he get “Gangnam Style,” but he brings in the oxymoron known as the “Fox News psychiatrist doctor” to explain it to him. According to the Huffington Post…
O’Reilly argued that the dance was just a rendition of the “pony” move. “800 million views of this?” he asked. “What’s going on??”
Ablow offered his mind-blowing assessment: “I think what this fellow is tapping into…is the fact that people don’t want any meaning right now.” He continued, “It is just is sort of like a drug and that seems to be what most people seem to want right now. Not reality, not feeling, not meaning.”
“So it means nothing, but it’s got a nice upbeat to it but you can do the pony and ride around,” O’Reilly suggested.
“The meaning is that it means nothing,” Ablow responded. (Via)
Looks like somebody’s been reading Tim Allen’s website! Also, three seconds of research would show that “Gangnam Style” is actually much more complex than your average run-of-the-mill pop song, and that to say it’s “without intelligible words, to some extent” is hilarious at best, horribly racist at worst. But, hey, that takes time away from watching “Obama Tells America to Serve Satan” videos. Now THOSE make some sense.

I have to admit I’m kinda with Bill O on this one.
Wait, aren’t you one of the ones that likes Boy Meets World? But not the obvious brilliance of the Gangnam Style video? You are everything that’s wrong with the world.
You must have me confused for some person named Josh Kurp or Danger Guerrero. And my beef with Gangnam Style is with the song more than it is the video — I’m sick of hearing it in every stadium I go to and then having to watch middle aged fat asses do the horsey dance in the aisles in a desperate attempt to get on the Dance Cam.
Fair. The only really good thing about the song is that it reminds me of the video.
YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH ABOUT BOY MEETS WORLD, MANCINI!
Vince probably turns his nose up at all 90′s nostalgia.
Woah woah woah. I’m more of a Smart Guy fan.
Goddamn, Bill. Even my mom gets why “Gangnam Style” is funny.
Anyone who doesn’t understand the self-evident appeal of a chubby Korean guy riding an invisible horse all over town screaming at chicks’ asses in slow motion is a fucking idiot and I will dismiss everything they say.
Vince Manici…actually, alot of people are stupid..Psy made a parody on the rich and obnoxious people in Gangnam..old guys who thinks they look good and can get any chicks they want because they have cash…that’s the character he’s playing..i guess it takes triple digit IQ to understand it
I know that hillbilly logic..if I can’t understand it, then it’s meaningless…i get it..
The more people talk about what a subversive satirical genius Psy is, the more I really hope Vince is right. Because that kind of talk just kills what fun there is left to be had with it and I can’t get my jollies laughing at the people who want it to go away, then I’m gonna have to start making the parodies myself.
Psy has denied any that the song/video has any message or is parodying anything, and claims it’s just fun.
*denied that, with no any
I wouldn’t put too much weight into his denial of that, his previous album was banned in Korea for being too subversive and they made him serve twice in the army to punish him. > read up here [en.wikipedia.org] his battle with censorship is a long one.
Hammurabi doesn’t understand Twitter.
Anyway, I like Gangnam Style because the video is silly as hell (mostly for that elevator shot).
Watch to the end of the video. O’Reilly basically says, “There is nothing wrong with enjoying videos like this. Do I get it? No. But I’m not the target audience. It’s cool to watch this and have fun, and if you wear dark sunglasses to an interview and parade around your potential boss’ office like a pony, then you are a dumb”.
Don’t get me wrong, I think B.O. is a ginormous douchenozzle most of the time, but in this case, I agree with him. The song is essentially house music. I think house music sucks, but if that’s your thing, hey, knock yourself out.
If you wanna bash someone, though, bash Preachy McQuackerton, the “doctor” that he interviews, who says Gangnam Style is a drug, and anyone who likes it is akin to a heroin junkie sucking dick for their next fix.
Finally, an accurate review of this video. Gangnam Style makes me hate Ellen just a little but more.
Yeah, he’s right.
He had me and then lost me when he asked if the guy was from Pyongyang.
Someone needs to shoot Ablow in the head.
His name was Ablowhard, but they had to shorten it for TV.
Jesus Christ, Bill O and everyone else over-analyzing this shit. Sometimes people just want to dance like fools. It feels fantastic, you should try it. There is no shame or harm in that.
Ha. Clearly someone isn’t an East Coast Irish Catholic who was routinely beat by nuns in the 1950s and forbidden to listen to The Supremes in high school.
Billy O’reilly is playing the typical redneck..i don’t understand the language, therefore it’s meaningless… and it’s just some asian fat guy dancing like a fool..there’s no point to it..LOL, the guy is mocking the wealthy posers in Gangnam and their obnoxious/foolish behaviour, for god’s sakes….Billy O’reilly is the character in Gangnam style
Elvis invented sexuality.
I understand the popularity of Gangnam Style more than the popularity of The O’Reilly Factor.
