Listen, I was just going to post this over on my personal blog, because Andy Rooney’s not exactly in our field of vision here on the Beet, but it is SO FUNNY I just had to share it with everyone. I keep replaying it and laughing. There are so many priceless quotes.
Andy Rooney is really too old to be on television right now.
Wow. Is it just me, or does he look just as old as he did 20 years ago?
that was the single greatest thing ever
True that, Beet. He used to make me laugh, but now I just shake my damn head.
If you ever needed a good explination of tangential, this is it.
This is just another reason why you need to start watching The Soup!! They feature hilarious bits of WIllard Scott, aka Smuckers birthday guy on the Today show. Now that guy is WAY too out of it to be on TV! here is a link to his awesomeness:

enjoy :)
Hahaha! I just saw my new avatar! Why would I ever want to change it? Thanks Beet!
Ha ha ha ha. “I don’t have a TV.”
“Bring me a new kid!” hahah oh Willard.

You just know that he feel asleep during takes and someone ran in to fix his hair!
a little piece of heaven right there…
Watched it over and over again and I still don’t get it. I like the Good Cop/Bad Cop treatment the blue kid and the big kid give him.
If he didn’t seem so harmless, he’d be the creepiest guy I’ve ever seen.
He is the creepiest man ever! There is some video they show, which i can’t find, with Willard making comments about how he wants to ravage Al’s niece or something. Talk about awkward!
Now, see? I didn’t really get the humor in it. He just seems the same as he always was. Might be a generational thing.
I didn’t get it either. It just kinda made me sad.
He was mildly amusing. As always. I agree, no real change. Kinda wanted to see my avatar though!
Can’t figure mine either.
Is it because I was raised on Andy Rooney that I don’t think anything is odd about this one? Sure, it’s tangential as Adam said, but that’s kind of his thing.
I still love the old guy.
LOL
What the fuck was that? Its like a segment for people who don’t have old grandparents to say random shit. A daily dose of geriatric nonsense.
so true! The whole time, I thought he was channeling my 75 yr old Mother in law! Tangential is right!
BAHAHAHAHA
WTF was he talking about. When I watch 60 minutes I always turn it off after the third story. Andy does seem like he’s getting smaller behind that desk these days.
I am pretty sure that he didn’t even know what he was talking about. In his head…. “If I just keep talking, no one will notice that I am not making sense. Does February really have an R in it?” Ha, I never want to get old….
What happened to my original comment? Oh, it was really funny too :(
Andy Rooney rocks! He doesn’t give a crap about young whipper snappers and their damn Twitter. If this was Dimitri Martin, saying the same thing, it’d be comedic genius. Rooney rules with those long eyebrows and 60 Minutes!
Andy Rooney is AMAZING. If anyone has the secret to eternal life its that guy. I also like his no nonsense style of reporting.
I usually have a smart ass comment for everything. This time, I feel like I’m floating in some weird temporal vortex. I got nothin’.
Don’t flatter yourself. “Smart” is not a word I would associate with any of your comments.
Don’t worry though. Handicapped people can lead productive and fulfilling lives with proper guidance and training.
What does that even mean?
He’s saying that you ride the short bus, Jennifer!
No, they always make me wear my helmet and it makes it hard for me to lick the window.
My daughter saw him on tv the other night and said “Wow, he is scary.” That about sums this up.
i’d rather have andy griffith. less creepy, less annoying and he makes more damn sense. “Waitress”, anyone?
I was totally gonna say something and then I noticed all the avatars all you young people are using nowadays. in september especially. and then I wondered, why don’t they let me nap around here? I just want to take a little nap at my desk. In my suit that I wear year round.
LOL.
His head is sitting so low on his neck it’s practically in the middle of his chest. I think he’s just trying to duck out from under the burgeoning weight of his eyebrows.
“Most people don’t wear clothes to keep warm.” Lovely.
” I wear the same suit all year” I bet it smells like it too
There are a million quotes attributed to Andy. Here’s a gem, “Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done. “
His career has been amazing, and that is why he gets paid to talk about nothing and you don’t. Well, no, now that I think of it you also talk about nothing. What a waste of space.
I always get him and Mickey Rooney confused. Btw I just wikied Mickey Rooney and he’s STILL alive?!
Andy Rooney is a television icon that people still love for reasons I can’t understand. The only way he’s going off TV is in a box.
