The Iron Man star, in the video, adds, “This the most obnoxious group of money-hungry, low-IQ, high-energy, jack-rabbit, f**kin’ wannabe-bigtime, smalltime s*t-talking, bothersome, irritating, immature motherf**kers I’ve ever had to endure for more than five minutes.”
Social media users were quick to react to the old video of Robert. One user said, “I formed that same opinion after being around business students for four years.” Another stated, “Can you blame him for saying this? Wall Street looks like something that would give me anxiety attacks.”
One person said, “Priceless commentary by Downey at the end. Listen, laugh and weep all at once,” as another chimed in, “Something I always wondered when I saw stock exchange videos like this is how a crowd of men screaming over each other and shaking papers in the air resulted in clear and accurate trades because it just looks like a clusterf**k.”
The next one shared, “How has a meme of this gravity escaped us for so long?” as another added, “He looked confused in the video.” A person claimed, “What he says is true,” as another concluded, “Wow this looks like a fun watch to say the least! What’s the name of the doc?”
