Strolling down memory lane with ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’

If you watch one video on YouTube this week, and one only, make it the “Funniest Mike Tyson Interviews.”

It’s true that Tyson is more than certifiably insane, but it is also true that he has said some of the most original and classic one-liners that could be said in interviews.

This is for everyone who remembers what a classy guy Tyson truly is, back before he went around eating ears for dinner. His rage during fights was legendary and his use of big words was … well, not so much.

When he busts out with words such as “impetuous” and “impregnable,” however, one can get a glimpse of the Mike Tyson that once was.

In Tyson’s world, women can’t talk out of turn, and God help them if they do. Interviewers must be wary, for Tyson talks how he wants to talk and no other way.

What one could mistake for freestyling is really just him loudly yelling random things without breathing for a few minutes.

Nothing can stop “Kid Dynamite” from getting his opinion across. He throws temper-tantrums, complete with foul, offensive language, only so his inner pain will be understood.

He’s Mike Tyson, crazy as hell but more classic than a 19th century novel by a British author.

Issue to issue, we’ll weed through all the good, bad and ugly that YouTube has to offer to find what we think, at the least, will hold your attention. No need to spend more time than necessary on YouTube when Facebook already consumes half of your day, right?
