For every year that goes by, this gets more accurate. Crazy. Californication ranks among my top all-time shows right beside The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Dexter. It's consistently underrated.
I love all these shows and god knows ive seen every episode of Californication 50x. But its not even remotely close to the caliber of shows that these others are
And in the coming years, it will be even more relevant than it is now. People will get dumber and dumber and dumb idiots will be employed in jobs that they shouldn't be doing. Society will be ruled by dumb people.
It feels slightly crazy to see that a video was uploaded 13 friggin years ago. Makes me feel old that I remember RU-vid... You know.... Not existing. And it doesn't feel that long ago.
"...about that scene in "Beloved", where she squats and pees? How many takes did she do? Was she method?" So ridiculously funny. I love this show...thank God it's getting renewed for the summer!
My heart skipped a beat when I read "it's getting renewed for the summer"... then I saw that this comment was posted 14 years ago. Now I'm dead inside.
That was insightful and pretty damn funny. And yes, wow, those were all slayer album titles. I wonder if Tom araya is gonna try and sue them the way Anthony kleidis did over the name Californication.
This speech was written at a time when smartphones didnt exist and everyone didnt have social media. If Hank Moody thought people were dumb back then, wonder what he would think of today.
@@trevjaywill387 LOL sorry, can't give you a break. Bill Maher's monologues don't hold a candle to this guy's monologues. So no, this definitely _doesn't_ sound like a Bill Maher monologue. At all.
@@mkultra2456 haha they actually do resemble them. Being cynical and condescending about where society is and then acknowledging some sort of participation in said system is totally something that Maher would do. Just because you're a fanboy of the show and think the writing is so amazing doesn't mean there aren't similarities. Probably the biggest tip for me in why they're similar is because I find both of them corny, but still entertaining. If you can't acknowledge that there would be any similarities then I think you're just being close minded, especially the way that you respond with the italics haha. My hunch is that you like Hank Moody so much because you probably think you are (or at least want to be) like him. So me comparing him to Bill Maher probably is hurting your identity complex because it doesn't fit your narrative. Just my $.02 haha.
@@trevjaywill387 lol you're reaching, pal. I'm not a fan boy. "Identity complex?" LMAO what the hell are you talking about. Anyways, this monologue is way better than most of Bill Maher's monologues combined.
See? This video encapsulates what the show, Californication is all about. Not just sex, sex, sex which is nice I like sex but so much more. Anyway, thanks for the upload!
Hank Moody: "Just the fact that people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. You know, I mean we have all this amazing technology and yet computers have turned into basically four figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but all it's really given us is Howard Dean's aborted candidacy and 24 hour a day access to kiddie porn. People... they don't write anymore, they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King's English.” Interviewer: "Yet, you're a part of the problem. I mean you outhere blogging with the best of them." Hank Moody: "Hands, myself loading." Cheers:)

I came here to read the comments to see if anyone caught the S L A Y E R references of this video. Apparently not so much or at least no one commented about it. lol
Dude, I've been a fan since the show dropped, OF COURSE I caught the Slayer reference! There's also tons of other ones as well. RIchard Bate's novel was called Crack The Sky (Mastodon), episodes like "In Utero" , "Zoso", "The Land Of Rape and Honey", etc.
@disintegratingeden Funny how you still think I'm pretty smart, since you quoted me. Yes, the only mistake I had is typing "I" with "i", and I think my message got across quite clearly,with no "pseudocommunicating" (as Hank says). Not capitalizing in a certain situation is not considered a grammar error, but most likely a spelling one, in which case yes, I sometimes don't type the "I" because I'm not used to it. You might or might not believe me, but I don't live in an English-speaking country.
@MachineintheSky It's cool that you watched this brilliant scene, commented on someone's improper grammar, and still refused to use proper grammar. I hope you were being ironic.
Now that I'm an adult, Hank is kinda insufferable... I mean he gets a pass because he's a womanizar fantasy protagonist, but if this was real life it would be impossible to get past his smugness
I really hate this generation we living in with the people who spamming lol lmfao lmao like braindead zombies on every post and video. ( God isn’t here💔)
If you hate it ( me too) try to be old school like Hank for example. You can't change how the masses behave, but you can control your behaviour at least
