Should not have laughed as hard as I did. More people need to answer the question "What do you think?" honestly and completely out of context.

Fabulous.

DAMN ZOMBIE BIASED MEDIA.

The next zombie film to come out of Hollywood had better have the Undead saying this instead of "Brains."

And turtles like you, kid...turtles like you.

Turtles are sort of like brains -- a hard shell conceals the soft, juicy interior.

Pure beauty.

Turtles are the finest of all reptiles. Well done, lad. Well done.

Nice video,the reporters reaction had me laughing.

not enough stars

Catching newscasters off guard is so great.

Kid Zombi, if any fucker ever gives you shit, let me know and I will stomp them. Preferably if they are also 12. I don't want to make promises I can't keep.

I love how he just sits quietly, waiting politely for his turn to say it.

You laugh, but he has already bitten hordes of now undead turtles that await their day to wreck havoc....very slowly.

This is my official answer now to "What do you think?" Forever.

I could watch this all day. Thank you for your honesty young man.

wait is this at halloween, or did he just ask to be a zombie for no reason?

This is the kid that kept bothering Ralphie while he was in line to see Santa Claus.

Honestly, that's probably the best answer to any question. Just pick something you like and point it out. Man, out of the mouths of babes--zombies.

Hey-- *I* like turtles!

This might be the most entertaining moment in county fair history.

Keep Portland Weird!

Zombie Kid For Prez!

If you don't like turtles, you are no friend of mine.

Rock on, Jonathan.

It's unclear to me why exactly, but this made me laugh until tears welled up in my eyes. A billion jazillion stars forever.

Cowabunga, young sir. Cowabunga.

I can't believe I missed this. Better than Garbage Day.

This totally is better than Garbage Day. Tuwtles win forever.

I stared at this for a few seconds, stunned, then began laughing so hard I cried. Wow.

ralph wiggum come to life

Hell yeah.

kinda sounds like slingblade. also turtles rule.

You're preaching to the choir, son.

I think the deadpan stare at the beginning really helps to set up the turtles comment.

Even after the tenth time, I still laughed.

The kid's still awesome in the follow up interview. And his mom is buying him some turtles now. YAY!

I laughed til it hurt

It's awesome that this kid has perfect media skills: don't answer the question that's asked, answer the question you WANT to be asked.

shine on, kid

My enjoyment of this has bypassed all rationality.

I think I just animated-gif-looped "I lak toitles!" about fifty times. Where is YTMND when you need 'em?

I like the tin man

I want to think he just wanted to say something "wacky," but part of me believes that he really just does like turtles.

WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING FUNNY?

F-f-f-f-f-five stars.

Hooray for Fairs! Or weird Oregon Village things. Whatever caused this kid to be a turtle loving zombie is good enough for me.

This kid was on to something, it's the perfect answer to any question really.

I think what gets overlooked is the kid has perfect zombie acting performance. He stands there like a zombie, waits for his turn to strike, then goes back to zombie mode.

After having seen this video a million times, it's still worth a million starts every time I come back to it. I'm thinking of being Jonathan the Zombie for Halloween.

this never ever gets old

ever

We all do, kid. We all do.

I was laughing before he even was asked the question, just because he showed no emotion even in the face of an overly-upbeat newscaster. Stars for consistency.

Fantastic.

oh god so many poe classics i haven't rated. I am shamed.

I still come back to this almost 5 years later. This kid is great.

Few videos have this kind of staying power.

The most Kid thing that has ever happened.

Portland Zombies.
