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.
"...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.
It feels slightly crazy to see that a video was uploaded 13 friggin years ago. Makes me feel old that I remember UA-cam... You know.... Not existing. And it doesn't feel that long ago.
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.
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!
@@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.
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.

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.
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
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
It was relevant then and it’s certainly relevant now. I miss Hank Moody.
his books are Slayer album titles
JAKE COOK don’t know whether it was one of the writers who’s a huge fan or David Duchovny 😂
wow i just realized that
That’s what I thought
And Richard Bates books; Blood Mountain and Crack The Sky are Mastodon album titles
His book titles are clearly knock offs of bukowski titles
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.
Please add Mad Men to your fantastic list
those are my exact fav shows that you listed
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
Those are all my faves.
It would be higher on my list if the show ended with season 3, the quality went down a lot after that.
Hence my self loathing
"Hence my self loathing . . ." Fukkkkking hilarious!!!
that line is the best about people
14yo clip... and more epic, more relevant today than it was 14 years ago!
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.
that's what you call good acting.
He's method
Duchovny is the real deal
hes not acting here.
This is why Hank is one of my heroes
Californication is Entourage with a novelist. Pretty cool show.
Such a great wordsmith
Hank... my hero!
Dude, Henry Rollins is everywhere.
I really like him as Spider in Johnny Mnemonic.
@@Freakazoid12345 I really like him as Spider Man in the multiverse.
@@mkultra2456 what?
@@Freakazoid12345 You heard me. I mean you read that right.
@@mkultra2456 😄
I think about this scene a lot
16 years ago, wow! I was 17 years old, when I find Hank, how fast time gone
Lol just realized that's Henry Rollins
That made me laugh out loud.

This is something I completely agree with, show or reality. If I were there, I would kiss David in sheer appreciation.

Love you hank!
It's funny because this is exactly what Mulder would say lol
That's because every role David does is basically just him playing himself.
@@NRobertAlexander Even his first role as a cross dresser?
@@mkultra2456 Especially that one.

what a legend
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.
south of heaven and seasons in the abyss both are too
JAKE COOK slayer songs ?
The radio host was in Sons of Anarchy
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.
this show was soo good. so sadly it got bad early from season 4 and on..
Season 4 was the death rattle. It should've ended there.
Season 4 was the best season?
the entire series was a cool ride
@@Whocareswins17 Elaborate.
Ya! Henry Rollins xx Hank Moody lol thanks again Cherria 😂🎉❤😂🎉
"The Digital Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the English language." -Hank Kaczynski
This shows amazing top five for me and David duchovny is the goat
I just realized this is my first time see this show in English lol
@MickeyMo1961 The one and only!!! He has also played some roles in other series, like Sons of Anarchy.
Spot on.
Such was the effect Hank had on the reporter that the legends say he became a neo nazi and had his life ended at the hands of a notorious biker gang
😂 only legends will get this comment
Right on!!!
OMG sooooo very true. Especially now 14 years later with it all just SO much worse. So very sad but so very true. 🤣🤣
from 1:15 to 1:32, I don't think he was acting. He was being honest and straightforward.
5 years have passed and I agree
6 years have passed and I disagree. its just amazing acting, making it seem real, but it probably isn't
Even more time has passed and I agree even more
a significant amount of time has now elapsed and i concur
So much time has passed that I do not know what we 're talking about
Really good!
Funny that Guns N’ Roses ‘Chinese democracy came out few months later
What's Guns N' Roses? :-P
Brilliant!
Plot (un) twist - that was real alcohol!
hence, my self-loathing
awesome to the max...
@MrBod0m it's cool that you watched this brilliant scene and still wrote "lol". i hope you were being ironic.

To think of what Hank would say about TikTok.
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!
