ModernTube: A day in the life of Deion and Nastia

By Nick Friedell

If you have a few minutes to spare before watching tonight's events, I highly suggest you check out this YouTube clip of Deion Sanders hangng out with Nastia Liukin. While the video itself is a little long, the unintentional comedy is off the charts.

There are several moments in this video that are hilarious, but my two favorite come at the very beginning. First, as Deion walks to the Liukin's door and explains to viewers what he is doing there, it seems like he forgot Luikin's last name, because he just calls her the "world champion gymnast Nastia."

Speaking of names, each time Valeri Liukin refers to Deion as "Primetime," I just about went on the floor.

A big hat tip goes out to Barstool Sports for finding this video, and for accurately pointing out that this could only happen in America.

    While a little disturbing, I found it funny when Deion is let into the house and says "Lemme see your daughter!" Maybe she can go on a 1 name basis like Madonna

    I love how Deion just repeated everything.
    Nastia - I talk to my friends
    Deion- You talk to you friends.
    Nastia- I go to the movies.
    Deion- YOU go TO the MOVIES.
    Nastia- I have to show you smoething.
    Deion- you have to show ME something.
    that was fantastic.

    I thought the funny part was when deion said he loved the decor to nastia's father. He said that in this big ol' barren room with this ugly desk between him and nastia's father. Where was the decor? They must have cut it out.

    As an American, I meant I can't understand what the black guy is saying.

    I think most Americans are very arrogant and ignorant these days, often think they are the best in everything and anything, otherwise they think it must be a conspiracy to go against America.

    I dunno, that was a lil, umm... disturbing. Kinda makes me wonder if Deion had to register as a sex offender after making this video..

    Oh my God, how badly does Deion Sanders (or the Liukins for that matter) need money? Still, that incredibly bad commercial had some great moments...like Sanders saying "let me see your daughter" as soon as he gets into the house...nothing disturbing there, plus the awfully bad acting. It was so bad I couldn't watch the entire thing.

    Deion's dialog sounds like a bad primer on how to be a sexual predator, plus he certainly dresses the part.

    I couldn't help but laugh in an innapproriate way as Deion's eyes get big and he starts cringing and reeling in reaction to her pre-workout stretches!
    I know what THEY were going for, but the scene PLUS the music accompanyment made it look like something else. Eh? Eh?
    "What's that? Oh! That's just my overbearing, former Olympic gymnast father calling me on my AT&T phone from one room over! Tee-Hee!"
    Oh, and dont' forget...
    AT&T!!!
