ElaborateTiger says:

This reminds me of Fox News. They get guests on and bombard them with
stupid irrelevant questions that they cannot answer and then they make out
that they’ve defeated yet another “run of the mill libtard”.

Thomas Bailey says:

Anyone have an idea when this obsession with flying cars began in the
movie/animation industry?

While this video was an (obvious) exaggeration, there really *are* some
people this obsessed/upset we don’t have flying cars, logistics and safety
be damned.

TigerTzu says:

I can’t fucking believe this video is already 6 years old… 

daleeplanet says:

The group sigh in harmony 1:37 was priceless

TheLeviathanZero says:

@fingerme100 A Deceptacon or an Autobot?

Pauly Mack says:

What about the botox?!

Tsuken says:

Boeing has car companies by the balls on this. Imagine how much money plane
manufacturers would lose if flying cars became a reality. The technology
exists, but it will never be patented due to heavy lobbying by
international flight carriers. It’d fix the economy if we had sick
gravity-defying hot rods, but leave it to the corporate fat cats to ruin
all the fun. Bastards.

CopyRezo36 says:

I don’t think there is any reason to doubt flying cars will be developed
within the next few years. The spokesman for Toyota denied the existence of
his secret lab because that would defeat the purpose of it being a ‘secret’
lab. Anyone who says they don’t have a secret lab almost certainly does.

LiveToRide says:

this is hillarious

Chronomaton says:

That was the car from I Robot

Tyler Witt says:

I really wonder if those people are from the real companies. If so, good
job, Onion!

jack hodgkins says:

Does anyone read the ticker tape. It’s just as hilarious

space1patrick says:

ford focus lol

TheDutchTango says:

How will flying in the air effect that efficieny??

Wasabifold says:

GM Guy: “Flying Cars just aren’t real” Onion Reporter: “Well that’s one
theory…..” My favorite part of the whole video, because it was just so
subtle and because of that, so overwhelmingly hilarious.

MasterNemesis102 says:

I felt like I was watching Nancy Grace for some reason

Joseph Land says:

“And you will be able to synch your ipod to our award winning sound
system”…. “But not during takeoff and landing, I assume”….. lololol
favorite line

DeloreandudeTommy says:

It’s especially funny when you realize the car they show at 1:33 wasn’t
even a flying car in the movie it’s from (iRobot). Also, I WANT FLYING CARS
GOSH DARN IT!

Bryan Ibarra says:

fox news?

Beef Chavez says:

GODDAMMIT THEY PROMISED US FLYING CARS. IT’S 2013 ALREADY!

sage mode says:

fact : people are already too dangeres on the ground . flying cars are too
dangerous . and I do belive it would affect the international travel ,

sonnycrockett says:

Paul Miller has something of a flying car

LOSUMG Tidmouth says:

Funniest thing is the DeLorean in Back to the futurre had a hover
conversion in 2015 … three f*cking years!!

irishtrash15 says:

We have flying cars. They’re called aeroplanes.

baredown100 says:

i wish i could think up a comment good enough to piss a bunch of people off
bad enough to start a huge debate here…alas i cannot

Raveninety9 says:

In your secret lab loooooooool

freespaceace1 says:

Flying cars exist! terrafugia is making flying cars

Dimitris K says:

”its an issue of reality” one of the best quotes for technology ;p

edbapemo says:

What? No frying cas?

ZenSeizure says:

Middle fingers to all those who make cars that dont fly

TutKatan says:

@GryphesTK Yeah man it’s real The onion has some “unorthodox” reporters but
it’s all real.

n p s says:

@baredown100 i love how the reporter says “the jury is still out on flying
cars”. i think he will make an awesome fox news anchor :). now watch.

Nick Pigeon says:

Brandon Armstrong. -BAMF

Catzilla says:

“Well, the jury is still out on flying cars!”

Obscuricus says:

If reporters like this existed, I would watch the news.

Wasabifold says:

GM guy: You do realize these are movies right? Interviewer: Is it an issue
of funding? GM guy: No. It’s an issue of reality. Flying cars just aren’t
real. Interviwer: Well that’s one theory. Best sequence of the whole video.

fingerme100 says:

I saw a Transformer on the road today, but it didn’t transform:(

space1patrick says:

1:00 lol

TheBobasbro says:

@MrNoeboy Did he do your yard work first?

cyblur says:

ROFL!!!!!!!!! Dude says.. These are movies… you know that, right?

DarthPickley says:

it’s almost like FOX News when people ignore the facts in favor of their
own opinion and agenda.

jadeyes914 says:

how the hell these guys keep a straight face is beyond me

animenice says:

@Txsray All of them are actors.

Naddig74 says:

I know this video is hella old, but it just occured to me that we do have
flying cars…they’re called Cessnas…

Chuck Foster Kane says:

@Mehtaphorical A helicopter is not a feasible private transport, thus
eliminating the title of “flying car”. Nuff said please.

Pizzachu1 says:

“Well that’s one theory”

dtripakis says:

Flying cars are possible. But even if they were available, very few would
actually dare to purchase and fly one. Even if now they claim otherwise,
they dont really mean it.

jadeyes914 says:

but… the jetsons taught me that it’s supposed to happen eventually. was i
lied to?

mackat4ck says:

The Terrafugia is a flying car! Okay, it’s more of a driving plane, and
it’s quite expensive, but hey it’s a start!

Apiaanilol says:

Kim Jong il propably knew how to make cars fly. He created invisible phones
and stuff
