Here we go. HERE WE GO. Gingers, it is time for you to stand up for yourself, claims this one other ginger. And also people that are not gingers but really “support” gingers, whatever that means, you should make a video to show YouTube why (why what, exactly, again?). This is a together thing! I hope someone heeds CopperCab’s call. It could be just the thing he needs to get his message out there, whatever his message is. In any case, he’s got to do something if he wants to stop his numbers slipping. Got 2 keep those numbers up! The revolution will not have such low numbers.
I am surprised that he went straight for the unbearable Martin Luther King Jr. analogy without even making a patronizing stop at the Rosa Parks analogy. Something about refusing to get off the front page of YouTube or something? I know that CopperCab’s comparisons of his videos to the Civil Rights movement are inappropriate because I don’t even really know what his videos are about. A parody song on South Park? When people compare their struggle to the Civil Rights movement it is really useful to understand what their struggle is, and also that struggle should probably involve an entire class/race/sexual orientation of people who are being discriminated against (hair color not included), rather than one dude who got a FlipCam and a South Park DVD box set for Christmas. I’m not trying to be Professor Tone-Deaf Civil Rights Analogy over here, I’m just saying: yikes is in session. (Thanks for the tip, werttrew.)

I did not think he was going to get even that much right of the MLK “I have a dream” quotation. Genuinely impressed.
Yeah he kinda struggled. “Wait, it’s gotta be YOUR dream.”
You know it’s serious when he busts out the blazer. Looking sharp CooperCab!
All this fame and attention is changing him. Sell out.
As much as I think it’s a bit ridiculous comparing this to the civil rights movement I do think that plenty of redheaded people get given shit and don’t really see why it’s so acceptable, my mother’s got red hair and once when she was with my brother she heard people behind her saying they’d kill themselves if they were ginger. I’m all for laughing at this guy because clearly his problems go beyond his hair but there is a serious point there.
Jeez that’s awful! I don’t get why its acceptable either.
It’s true… I grew up wanting to go to an all-girls high school because the boys never liked me because of my red hair. Red wavy hair no less, that couldn’t be feathered for those all-important roller skating parties. On the occasions that I was even invited to those. Because I was often left off the list. Because of my red hair.
IN related news, Atlanta, GA is experiencing a recent fury of electrical storms and tornadoes believed to be related to grave spinning, re: Martin Luther King Jr.
“Don’t quote me on that, but yeah — Dr. Martin Luther King… I think.”
This will probably be the only thing in my life to make me want to put on a red wig and make a YouTube video.
I guess you aren’t familiar with the Dave Mustaine Look-A-Like Video contest that just launched over at Megadeth.com. The contest is in conjunction with the band’s 20th anniversary tour for their legendary album Rust in Peace.
Oh how I wish for him to harness his retarded ginger powers, or is that what he’s doing in these videos?
*nodding my head furiously in unison with coppercab*
Snazzy threads, looks like someone just got back from/is going to church.
Which seems like a futile action, given that gingers don’t have souls to save.
He goes to church/is a Christian.
Not enough !!!!!!!
“Surfaces have such importance.” Edward Abbey
We must all get intimate with the surface in order to penetrate its depth.
WE SHALL NOT OVERSUN!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous quote was “Sucks to be you, homie.”
I’ve stopped caring so much about the colour of his hair and instead I’ve now moved on to how stupid the style of his hair is. I hate people with stupid shaped hair. Every one of them is a moron without a soul… your move Ginger kid.
That’s a nice Necky Homie…
Also, did it seem like he was trying to Trick us into lowering the price on Power Converters at Toshi Station? I mean, was he telling me to release the slave boy after the podrace (assuming, of course, he wins)? Idk…
Does anyone have an age guess for my boy, CopperCab? I can never tell with Gingers. 25? 50? 11?
He’s 18 according to his Youtube channel info. http://www.youtube.com/user/CopperCab
Coppercab’s location scout is top notch.
You know, if you stab a ginger in the dead of winter, steam will rise up from the wounds.
Indians believed it was the soul escaping from the body.
No Stairway, DENIED!
THE RESET DIDN’T WORK! I ain’t gonna kill Gabe. He deserves to suffer on this rock just like the rest of us.
The MLK quote makes me want to say FAKE!
Agree completely. Also, the bumbling and self-corrections and whatnot at the end make him sound a bit too much like an Apatow creation or something.
I kinda want to be a person who saw this video being made from somewhere off in the distance and being all like “WTF?”
As the self-appointed leader of Team GingerGum (and an honest-to-goodness ginger; my avatar ain’t just for show) I will make a video for CopperCab. However, I’ll only do it if one of you monsters writes the script, because Videogum Everywhere.
You should just read the lyrics to Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”.
I will join you in this endeavor via green screen (but the background has to remain green in post, it goes really well with my red hair)
I like how he says that this isn’t his new video, even though it’s a video which is new made by him. Maybe it’s because it’s the only one where he seems to get a point across and doesn’t just scream and yell. Can’t wait for his actual new video!
Pretty sure the fact that this was filmed on Hoth makes this non-canonical.
I wish I can find a yogurt cup, because I realized Ginger Kid = Fame Whore
He’s not calling this Ginger Power.
He’s definitely not calling it Ginger Power twice.
Ok–yep, this kid is a genius. The shooter transisiton to the pointer finger is just plain amazing. Clearly this is a movie audition from this 46 year old art student.
Does anyone think there is a mormon somewhere on youtube or godtube(now called tangle for some reason) doing the same rants about South Park and oppression but profanity free?
I’ve really been more concerned with the size of his mouth. He has the smallest mouth to moonface ratio maybe ever.
it’s over, ginger kid. it’s just…over. i’m sorry.
the only way i can reconcile this kid with reality is to work from the assumption that this whole thing is a joke. that kid is sitting at home in a robe drinking scotch in front of the fireplace and occasionally allows himself a chuckle.
I believe Improv Everywhere already motivated masses of gingers to protest Wendy’s… and… um… ride in the same train car? Because that’s something gingers couldn’t do before?
Must have been a tacit, but strict, two gingers per train car rule before Improv Everywhere had the bravery to organize that sit-in.
Ginger be stylish today!
Did anyone call Joe Mande?
They may take away our sould, but they;ll never take away… OUR LEGAL RIGHT TO POST YOUTUBE VIDEOS!
Alba gu bràth!
“Can’t we all just get along? Or have we forgotten the words of the Reverend King?”
Is he declaring war on white haired people? Or is the snow just a neutral backdrop to this peaceful protest?
you can tell he’s serious about [not ginger power because that's retarded] because he broke out not only the pinstriped blazer but also a scarf decadently draped around his neck. i feel so bad for this kid. he’s pretty much got it all wrong.
If you’re Ginger and you know it clap your hands. *clap clap*
If you’re Ginger and you know it clap your hands *clap clap*
If you’re Ginger and you know it and you really want to show it…. make we youtube videos where you quote ML King and call people retarded…….?
I love his paraphrasing the “I Have a Dream Speech”. Memorization is difficult when you’re fighting the good fight! I for one, dream of a day when Gingers are allowed to marry outside of their race, and can eat in the same restaurants as us. I guess I’m just an idealist though…
Is he standing on a glacier? Al Gore’s long lost ginger son…
Flashforward 50 years:
Jesus how many of these videos are there gonna be? its like Unforgivable, except the kid is a white and not funny
is his real message that he’s sorry he worked on the advertising team for Couples Retreat?
The bleak landscape behind him reminds us that he has no soul. Bravo, CopperCab, bravo.
The location kind of reminds me of the film Fargo. I’d pay to see a Copper Cab remake of Fargo.
