I remember that reality show where Segal was a cop. They'd show him driving and switch to a "criminal cam", where he'd psychically detect criminals and the camera would zoom in on a black person.
It isn't Bullshit, sorry. Though some of the stuff in his movies is clear BS, but Aikido isn't BS itself. I literally do it myself and beat 3 people in a fight with it, also Seagal did accidentally break Sean Connery's wrist with it. You also learn to fight with jo (a staff/stick) in Aikido. None of this is bullshit, only to people who have never done it. I literally broke a person's forearm bone with Aikido, but I am not proud of it (I only use it for self defence). Seagal does put a lot of barely useful things in his movies though, it isn't a proper representation for the most part. Just as Kung Fu movies are mostly off in fantasy land with moves that either are unrealistic for show, or barely ever work. This is because a movie is meant to excite people, regular moves that work reliable are not as flashy. Aikido is about joint manipulation, and if you do break someone's wrist or arm.......it's game over for them. Jiu Jitsu is also very good as well, judo combined with Jiu Jitsu is actually really good (that's how it was originally in Japan).
Completely false. Aikido is one of the most effective martial arts there is. After I earned my 3rd degree in Taekwondo and 1st degree in Traditional Karate I tried my hand at Aikido. And without mats those floors hurt, the hits are effective, and the joint locks when applied correctly would break the bones of any experienced fighter.

My favorite post-prime seagal moment was during (i think) the pilot episode of his cop show: He is involved in a hot pursuit of a suspect that probably 10 other squad cars are also in on. He arrives after multiple officers already have the suspect pinned down, and he runs up to the action saying, "tase him! tase him!". I couldn't believe it.
Vic this is beautiful. I feel like this is actually a very loving video. In the same vein as Tim and Eric, there is a celebration of our absurdities, character flaws, egos, bogus personas. Your observation and then showcasing of human absurdity is like a refreshing antidote to the hum-drum of everyday life that smothers us with these perpetual self-delusions. With your work we can zoom in on a persona and feel the comedic tragedy that unfolds in all our lives.
TheBlarggle wasn't there allegations of him being involved in human trafficking of sex workers? Honest question here, I thought I remember hearing about one of those 90's "tough" guys being involved in something like this and could of sworn it was Steven. Edit: changed their to there.
Actually it's because he is a mix of things, he is part Jewish from Russia and also part Mongolian as well. It's why he looks so racially ambiguous, he is the type of guy who could fit in south America anywhere or even claim to be native American in the USA or even claim to be from Kazakhstan or something. He could even tell people he is simply half Asian and that is also believable, he is very racially ambiguous. Probably the only thing he couldn't claim he is, is if he said he was half black or something.
Lord of the belts: The return of the KING I thought he was an Irish Jew lol. Jewish father + irish mother. The rest he made up cause he’s a pathological liar. Also, the black hair dye helps.
Apparently he thinks heavily dying his facial hair to match his heavily dyed top-of-head hair is a good idea. Of course, it's pretty clear that making good choices has never been his strong suit.
I rarely laugh out loud, period. Unfortunately, my humor trigger almost never goes off with most ‘comedy’ I see. Maybe once in a while a few seconds worth of something funny will actually produce an involuntary chuckle. In a rare moment, I laughed out loud throughout the entirety of this video. Bravissimo, Vic Berger! Absolutely hilarious.
Afaik segal lives in Moscow. That said he doesn't insta qualify for a Putin party for that reason alone or Vlad would not have time to dictate and all of that shiz
Of course Putin loves him, don't forget that he ran over a puppy by unnecessarily driving a tank through a house for a reality TV show. www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2011/08/31/actor-steven-seagal-sued-for-driving-tank-into-arizona-home-killing-puppy/#2b8d135a7489
When your hair looks like a low budget knock off of the Metroid helmet, you’d better know some karate. I love his karate opponents. Run... run... run... attack... flip fall! Run... run... attack... flip fall! I think the karate slippers come free with his outfits.😅🤣😂
My friends and I just watched one of his movies yesterday Contract To Kill (2016) and it did not disappoint on the laughs. Some of the actors were even visibly holding back laughter when acting opposite of Steven Seagal. Also love the song at 2:16
@@TourettesOrc Yeah the story John leguizamo told about him knocking John into a wall comes to mind immediately. Seagal did it due to John laughing at what he said at a rehearsal. "I am in command, what I say is law"
I still don't understand why people keep putting him movies. Guy's not only asshole, but you have to put so much more work in getting body and voice over doubles, why not just skip the middle man and hire someone else?
the faces in the audience when all the people were choreograttacking him ... price less. you clearly can read the "is this like for real and serious ?" :D loved it :D
Watching a big bear in with a slick pony tail tossing guys around meeting dictators and eating carrots was highly needed. Thank you Vic this was needed to pick up my day.
I know people say this phrase a lot, misusing it more than "I love you", but I actually think this might be the most underrated channel on youtube. They should dispatch a Vic to every country. You know, humanitarian help. Keep it up!
@@nunliski Hey, idiot! 1. Not in underdeveloped countries! 2. Maybe he meant that there should be someone to create satiric takedowns of ridiculous pop culture figures in other countries!
@Dom Trussardi Look up Way of the Shadow Wolves. "... which gave him the power over SOME people and MANY snakes." - Actual quote from the book, in description of the main character's super powers. And then look up the Chapo Trap House reading series of that book.
@Vic Berger · *Everytime* I get super sad with a case of the "powerless·epathy·s", I KNOW I can watch ANYTHING you've lovingly crafted & my sadness is alleviated for approx. 18·28hrs. TY sooooooooooooooo much · you're a *way better version* of a 3·day·inpatient psych eval.
This just became one of my favourite videos of all time, well done, a part 2 NEEEEEEDS to happen, there's so much more footage, plus you've got all of Lawman to dip into
Seagal brought the principle of uke-nage to the US screen and if he'd disappeared after his first movie he'd still be some kind of legend. The principle works this way: anyone, even a toddler, can be made to look like a devastating fighter if their opponent knows how to take a spectacular fall. Good timing on that opponent's part, as well as good cinematography and editing, makes the protagonist look serious. I think it's just straight laziness that turned fight scenes into the hot garbage they are now, especially in superhero movies. Seagal just had to keep milking it though, while trying to expand his brand, his legend. Which is a formula for becoming a joke. When i noticed him being dragged along on a skateboard to look like he was moving smoothly i knew he'd crossed into that bizarre Chuck Norris land. Great clip Vic, you clearly show the love in what you do, love of the absurd and even the subject.
Don't know if you'll read this, but keep fucking doing you. You're an amazing musician and do wonderful things with video editing. You are a true meme lord, Vic Berger. Hope everything you want in life comes to you if it has not already.
Not sure why this isn't the biggest channel.??? I've been showing my family (all ages) your gems... just telling them the title's...1st is confusion, 2nd is laughter. 3rd is laughshaking making no sound just minimal weasing air noises. 4th is tears while hitting me. 5th is either telling me to "stop, stop" or "hold on-pause it........okay go ahead, had to catch my breath."
