You forgot that Abe Lincoln was a vampire slayer and JFK was a mutant.
+Sir Timothy I know about the vampire slayer, but a mutant? i've never heard that in my life
@@rockgod6180 X-Men movies bro
Darth Dovahkiin rwooooosh
JFK was a Zombie slaya too
Jackson was a witch slayer
More interesting- John Tyler, POTUS #10, born in SEVENTEEN NINETY, still has a living GRANDSON. Yep, grandson.... his son's son.
Wow
czcams.com/video/dGiL2PgC17A/video.html
He died
But trump also has living grandchildren
Yes that can happen if marriages happen when the 2 people are radically different ages.
The internets...
And on the internets you can also search up things on the google.
You didn't even mention the coolest presidential fact ever. John Tyler, who was president in the 1840s, has a grandson living
sraboni 1234 there’s two. they’re both in their early 80’s
@@Julia-cp9nt Now there is only one still alive.
@@owen28890 yep!
John Adams naming his dog Satan made me crack up!
Its actually kinda creepy for me
Pres. John Tyler (born in 1790) has got 2 grandchildren who are still alive today
I have to say George Bush was a Big embarrassment to this great Country.
@@hansenalmani7032 What has this "reply" to do with John Tyler? Or did you intended to tease Pocket Trumpeter V2 by posting a "reply" that isn´t one?
P.S.: Which George Bush do you mean? Both?
What do you mean by that? First I thought you´re making a funny allusion to Steve Tyler´s looks.
Ik
Forget my question. In the meantime I´ve done some research and found out that you didn´t intend to make a joke but that this about John Tyler´s grandchildren is correct. I find it just amazing.
I burst out laughing at the George W. clips...but LBJ had me on the floor...
That phone conversation is the best in presidential history
He is halarious without even trying 😭
My jaw dropped when she spoke about LBJ's nether-regions
So funny, tho
Read up on LBJ's other antics. Dude was definatly...um...interesting. He used to keep the bathroom door open if he had to shit during a meeting just to keep participating. thats just one example
George H W Bush vomiting in public inspired a word? Lmao
The Lyndon Johnson thing is hilarious.
I think #1 should have been "George W bush was beaten in an IQ test by a rock"
Can you smell what the ROCK is cooking
What about the people who voted for him "TWICE "??
hilarious
+EmperorZelos its called surprising not obvious facts
+EmperorZelos dont bully the rocks.
I swear that the Simpsons did a show on every aspect possible.
You can cover a whole lot of ground in 27 years.

How about both Calvin Coolidge and Theodore Roosevelt having pet Bears and Coolidge having a pet Raccoon and Roosevelt having a pet Hyena.
Those two had the most pets out of any other president as well as the strangest pets.
Now we wait for the "Bush did 911" comments. Play the waiting game..

May I add a few more surprising facts about two of our 43 presidents.
Our 11th president, James K. Polk, is probably the only president who kept his campaign promises right to the end of his presidency. He achieved all of the goals he said he would accomplish during the 4 years he was POTUS. He also promised at the outset that he would serve only one term. True to his word, he never ran for a second term despite pleas from his colleagues that he do so.
Our 37th president, Richard Nixon, was a socially awkward individual and he was very poor at making small talk. One of his WH aides, Alex Butterfield, recounted his first meeting with Nixon. According to him, the president started to growl and make hand gestures (as if the president was at a loss for words) after Bob Haldeman, Nixon's White House Chief Of Staff, had introduced his deputy, Alex Butterfield, to Nixon. Now most of us would handle that kind of situation by offering a handshake and saying "So good to meet you, Alex" or "How are you doing?". But Nixon didn't do any of that. Alex Butterfield's first encounter with Nixon abruptly ended when Haldeman grabbed his deputy and said something like "Thank you Mr. President, and Alex will see you in the morning." According to Alexander Butterfield, President Nixon never said one word during that meeting.
Nice to read that. Do you remember any more facts than that?
*45, 44 when you wrote this
To be fair, contextually there is possibility abounding over the idea you commented on.
I chop down cherry trees
SIKE
+Matthew PolioNine I think our first president would know if he chopped down a cherry tree Matthew
+Daniel Oviatt George Washington is technically isn't the first president john hanson is technically the first president
+George Washington - Then you'll love Japan.
+George Washington same
Dont you just hate it when you lose the nuclear codes. This has to be the most relatable moment in history
Oh, Bush. He might not have been the smartest guy, but at least he was genuine. He wasn't bright enough to be devious!
Daniel Mears yeah
Dick Cheney on the other hand...
Daniel Mears sure he was.....how about the Iraq WMD deception to go to war
The surprising fact you forgot. George W. Bush was elected twice.
so was Obama
+Wisdom Wissy Cause democrats rock!!
And Ronald Reagan.
+dohiri Once.
That was a surprising fact .... the day it happened.
not a fan of bush 43. i do have to say. dude is hilarious.
just when i thought Teddy Roosevelt couldn't be more badass
5:08 there will also be that one person that will be like *OMG IT WAS AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT RIRNRHRJRJDJIENDURDIJ*
2:22 Why the gasp? What did they think was going to happen at a public hanging?
GabeFromKyushu they probably gasp at the neck cracking noise
@@alyssawilson8781 i don't like watching necks snap, so looked away at that part
I get goosebumps whenever I see the floor drop.
LOL Yeah I remember that "puke video" on the news, years ago.
"Internets" lol
Me: Hey I'm gonna go on Instagram.
George W. Bush: *I am going on the Instagram on the Internets*
Theodore Roosevelt was shot in 1912 just before giving a speech yet he still finished the speech. Somebody tell this man he's a legend.
W when speaking English: *remedial af*
W when speaking Spanish: *eloquently posh*
Also: Jackson sounded kinda gangsta :D
George W bush gets attacked by a shoe man 6:08
@chip599XX - At least, that was a wonderful moment in world history. Too bad the shoe man didn't put a bomb in either one of his shoes to throw at Bush at the press conference in Egypt.
James Buchanan was supposedly the fastest stenographer in America when he became president.
I´ve read that Jimmy Carter once had forgotten his "biscuit" in a jacket when he put it into cleaning.
"Bumhole" 😂
Good list. I learned several that I didn't know. I've got a few more for anyone interested:
George H.W. Bush played in, and was Yale's team captain in, the first ever College World Series.
Theodore Roosevelt came up with the Maxwell House Coffee slogan: Always good to the last drop.
The author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," Sarah Josepha Hale, helped to convince Abraham Lincoln to make Thanksgiving a federal holiday.
Abraham Lincoln's son was present at 3 different Presidential assassinations. Also, early in his life, his life was saved by John Wilkes Booth's brother.
Despite not being President, Al Gore has the second most popular votes for President of anyone in history (Reagan has the most). Gore is also the only President/Vice President to be born in Washington D.C.
Only two Presidents have gone by their nickname as their name instead of their legal name: Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
And Cleveland. His first name was Stephen.
Al gore was never President
Once a woman sitting next to Calvin Coolidge said I bet I can make you say three words to me he said "you lose"
10 mil subs, congrats!!!
roosevelt was also the only us president to receive the medal of honor
why did Adele cross the road,
to say HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIIDE!!!!!!
Knew #7, the 2nd honorable mention, and #1.
Why we still got Jackson's face on the 20$? watchmojo plz do a top 10 of the horrific facts about Andrew Jackson.
Porsche did 9/11
Bush was hilarious... he's was like a modern day Marx Brother
no wonder he got elected, he was hilarious, but then we got boring obama
johnson was hilarious also
@@simonster-9094 At least we got trump after obama
@@dragonquesti8629 I hate trump. So much. But he’s kinda funny ngl
Thank you from list-twist - the site for memorizing the American presidents in order
Great top 10
Not a huge Bush fan but he was actually well known as a pretty good athlete. Played rugby, football, and other sports. I'm sure people have seen his post 9/11 baseball strike. Calling him not good at "masculine past times" is pretty lame by WM. I mean... really? That basketball bounce was obviously a product of the floor. (if you think otherwise that's on you) He played rugby in college! Most people won't touch that sport. We've seen the crotch shot he gave someone. lol
+Patrick Howard case in point ftw.usatoday.com/2013/11/john-f-kennedy-most-athletic-presidents
he's a long way from college..
Patrick Howard yeah, WM can be so arrogant and disrespectful
just do a top 20 Theodore Roosevelt facts
now this is a great list idea, people bash on this page about how weird and specific the ideas get, and they do get weird and specific, but you are running a great business model and will basically cover everything both good and bad by the time its over lol
Bahaha! This was the best so far!
So WM forgets that most of these guys are related, went to the same university and joined the same dodgy societies. Surely that should have made the list somewhere...
+eggwaffle ssssshhh.
3 pairs were related. That’s a lot but not THAT weird. 2 were only father son, Roosevelt’s were like 5th cousins. Also there aren’t that many colleges at the time these guys lived.
could've gone my whole life without knowing that LBJ fact tbh
the things I'd do to unlearn that
Wholesome fact: President Lincoln was a cat person, he was the first president to bring cats to The White House and one time said that his cat, Dixie, was smarter than his whole cabinet. The cabinet if you don't know is the fifteen most powerful people in the state besides the president and his vice, of course. He would also reportedly be able to pick a cat up and talk to it for hours.
Three things:
1- your top pick is Andrew Jackson but you DON'T pick the time he assaulted his own assassin??
2- Nice job using four clips of the same Simpsons episode
3- thank you for that clip of Johnson, I never dreamed I'd hear a president say "bunghole"
Lindon B. Had a GIANT Johnson
7/11 was a part time job
Great list!! please do Top Ten George Bush quotes!
Abraham Lincoln was also the only US president to hold a patent. It was a boat lift used to get boats over shoals and other obstructions in a river.
Lincoln had also been a U.S. Census taker, and a competitive wrestler.
Dammit, Clinton!
George Bush is definitely are funniest president
ok
@Colin Trump's awesome
It’s been four years. Wait for Sleepy Joe, who made Bush jr look like the smartest human being.
Fact 11. Abe Lincoln was secretly a badass ace wielding zombie killer
Wow I Am Shocked Of These Facts!
Good grief, Mr. Johnson...
1 for each president
Because George W Bush would have all ten
President Bill Clinton: Ladies and gentlemen I lost to nuclear codes....Oops 😬
lest we forget...Bush 43 was by far the best at throwing out the first pitch at baseball games.
Well to be fair martial arts is in self defense so it's not surprising he won a peace prize with a brown belt.
*edit* supposed to be in self-defense.
Andrew Jackson's fact is not at all surprising. Also, you didn't credit Daniel O'Brien for his narration of that presidential video including Jackson. This list was disappointing.
LBJ doesn't stand for Lyndon Baines Johnson it actually stands for Lyndon Big Johnson
great video :)
George Bush quotes made me laugh for real
I thought Jackson's violent nature was taught in schools. I was... and this was only a semester ago. :/
I was taught that
LOL @ Lyndon Johnson....he really earned his last name, I guess *roll on snare*
As I understood it, it was Abraham Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, was the one who had premonitions and a type of psychic ability, not Abraham Lincoln.
Top 10 worst U.S. bills that passed!
It is NOT a "surprising fact" that President Obama is only half black. We already know this, lol
Lol, i know right
+Todd Farabee Wow you're stupid. Only white people think that. He has lowered unemployment TREMENDOUSLY and had to clean up after George bush. You whites never show him respect for saving your sorry ass country. America sucks but not because of obama. (And don't call me black either because im not)
***** bruh, calm down, jeez! I was just fucking around. Wasn't nothing serious
+Fourth Hokage he also made america's debt much much higher
***** not american just stating facts and liberals do the same thing for every republican president or even nominee
8:26 haha did he just burp?? That was loud as fuck
I don't know who is more badass Teddy roselvelt or clevend
Here comes the "Bush did 9/11" comments
You said it not me
Am I the only one that loves George Bush? He has such a great personality, I'd drink with him.
The older or the younger?
Yea, a great false personality to brainwash you.
The younger. Say what you will, but he was a just a man trying to do what he thought was best for his country. And I respect him for that, like I respect all the men who have worked in the Oval Office.
+Qwrty Forse I agree he's a great man. I've actually met him before, real nice guy.
+MrBanausos Umm.. the entire history of early 21st century America? There's only been TWO newly-elected presidents in the 21st century. Not really a long list there.
Lincoln didn't believe in seances Mary Lincoln held them and when Abe was forced to attend he'd have a soldier poking around to find out how they do it
President Garfield spoke latin and could write with both the right hand and the left.
#1: Obama smoked weed
I'm pretty sure George W Bush and Bill Clinton did too
that handshake though at 6:03
Watching George Bush trying to play the drums, omfg lol
Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery
But it was Thomas Jefferson who abolished the slave trade
