Ask infoMania's Ben Hoffman Anything! (Or Insult Him, Your Choice)

Ben_Hoffman
In my years of ranting and raving in infoMania Editorials and Tech Reports, I know I've pissed a lot of you off. This is your chance to hit back with the best insult in your arsenal. I'll read my favorites in a video. If you don't hate me yet, you can ask me anything—in comments, webcams, on Twitter—and I'll do my best to alienate you, too.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.

UPDATE: Check out which insults caught Ben's attention!

    • Why is Infomania so obsessed with jump cuts? Every segment has it. Your introduction to us asking you questions has them, all of the Viral Videos do too. Why?

    • I' got something to say:

      Ben Hoffman, please STFU. I mean really, what is up with you? Always ranting about how everybody sucks balls. Did it ever occur to you that you might be the one that sucks(mega balls), and that no one gives a shit about that you'"got something to say"?

      "I'm fat", "I'm a nerd", "I've never had a girlfriend", "iPhones are stupid", "I'm really ugly and pale, and out of shape", "Britney's a whore", "I'm a retard", "I'm Ben Hoffman, I never get laid". Yes, thank you, Ben, we know by now. So get over it and stop the bitchy whining, you self-conceited, worthless, pasty, third-rate incline of lard.

      Thank you, everyone feels better now!

    • Ben you bald, overweight, slob with bad teeth. Any jackass with a hat could do your job. It doesn't take a genius to get on a soap box and complain about everyday observations. When will they realize your useless to the show? Every time you try to tell me about local news or twilight or one of your tech reports, which is always a day late and a dollar short, I turn off the T.V. completely. I'd rather twist a rusty screw into my ear than hear one more of your smug comments on pop culture. Thanks, I feel better now.

    • After working in the health care system for some years I've learned that stupid fucks like you often provide the motivation for severely depressed patients stick around a bit longer. Do us a favor and go get drunk, stick an ice pick 3 or 4 inches into your left ear, and then do an editorial on America's existential crisis and the necessity of better end of life care. Thanks, asshole.

    • You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say
      in Texas. I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions
      on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather
      kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.

      You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm
      deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a
      weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a
      revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

      You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared
      richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth
      into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody,
      abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and
      then killed themselfs in recognition of what they had done.

      I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as
      you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought
      of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are
      vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of
      this earth. And did I mention you smell?

      Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to
      impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop
      will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it
      more rapidly.

      You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive
      its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to
      fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame
      of your ignoble blood. May you ckoke on the queasy, convulsing nausea
      of your own trite, foolish beliefs.

      You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty
      and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus.
      Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are
      unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that
      reality forgot.

      And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements
      of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you
      hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more
      weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle,
      waiting for the bite of the snake?

      You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and
      obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living
      emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease,
      you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.

      On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient
      in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are
      dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all
      unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

      You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock.
      You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish
      foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless
      crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You
      cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting
      naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted
      fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

      You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate,
      noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise
      everything about you, and I wish you would go away.

      I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid.
      Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond
      the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are
      trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far
      that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no
      intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on
      Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire
      galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll.
      Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some
      primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure
      essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond
      the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is
      an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again
      for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant
      questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of
      the rest of this drivel. Duh.

      the only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped
      away most of your of whay you wrote, because, well... it didn't really
      say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful.
      I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of
      babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have
      learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success.
      True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take
      for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes
      forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these
      things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I
      would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right".
      Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck
      in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a
      demand on you.

      I hear when you were an infant, your mother wanted to hire somebody to take care of you, but she already owed the Mafia money for all the methamphetamine she smoked while you were in the womb.

You make me laugh, your not afraid to put your ass on the line. Are you mean? Maybe.. but it's usually the harsher side of the truth. I think you mirror the way many of us feel about stupid people doing stupid crap. When you rant I think wow... "true dat" almost every time. This is supposed to be Ask Ben Anything... soo.... okay, I know. How do you do it? How are so you damn amazing?

      How on god's earth, does that infomania editorial soap box, support your body weight? If you have a clip of it breaking, can you please post it. It may actually be the first time I laugh at your stupid fucking segment.

      What do your parents actually tell people when someone asks them what you do for a living? I feel ashamed for them.

      How does it feel to know that Rotten Tomatoes Show contributors get paid better than you?

      When you're doing the infomania editorials, do you realize you're making all those dumbass hand gestures? Is that to try and distract people from how not funny you are? ... Just an FYI, it doesn't work.

    • I've noticed recently that your body language has become more repetitive and less creative. Every time you attempt to make a point, you choose to clench your right fist and jab it towards the camera. It worked in earlier segments, but now it's getting tiring and unoriginal. Perhaps opening a palm (or two) combined with an eyebrow raise or a shrugged shoulder might help prove your point in a more entertaining and creative way. And don't cut away so quickly. I'm sure you're just as funny in one take as you are in ten.

    • Well for starters "Ben Hoffman here from infomania" like any and every person watching this video doesn't know who the fuck you are. What a great way to introduce the obvious. Kind of like what you do in all of your videos. Maybe that's why 58% of viewers vommit in their mouths when they watch your videos. You might as well have started by saying Hi I'm wearing the same shit I always wear in my videos in case that wasn't obvious enough either. Let me just some it up to you like this. Ben Hoffman commenting and talking on a video is exactly like Ben hoffman's mother dieing in a car accident..... I really don't give a fuck.

      P.S. I didn't mean that, I'm bipolar.

    • After I watched your bitchfest that was "March Madness Blows!" I lost every ounce of respect for you. Go Cats?! I mean, what the fuck?! Now it makes complete sense why you hate most things...you cheer for a team in Kentucky. Why don't you just go put on a Demarcus Cousins sweatband and pick a fight with someone? I am appalled and would rather die than see any love go out to a Calipari supporter. Also take a look at this:

      Next time, pick a smart team. Ass.

    • Ben - You are similar to fellow clip show star Joel McHale expect he is funny, good looking, and is on a show people watch.

    • You're as technologically experienced as a wombat. I'm not sure if you have a foul odor, but judging by your looks you probably do you pathetic, top-heavy, chicken-legged, pasty, manic masturbating son of a bitch, but I still love you man.
