If you trick or treat dressed as Paul Harrell, you’ll have infinite pocket space for candy !
You win this time.
You can tell a great comment when, after reading it, your first thought is, "I should have thought of that."
Would need a bottle of Chesters soda too.
Candy, cartridges, compacts……
And ALL of your carry guns and ammo !
Paul reciting The Raven in its entirety at a brisk pace without needing jump cuts just won CZcams.
Speech impediment my eye.
He did it so quickly I checked to make sure I wasn't watching in 2x.
I dunno...Paul, could you recite the poem in style of kubukai theater, while wearing full makeup and a kimono? It would just seem to hit home more.
great achievement
hahahahha
Mr. Harrell, you’re truly a renaissance man. And I mean that with all due respect. I appreciate your sage, wise, and heartfelt advice.
Thumbs up for the "His hair was perfect."
Funniest line all year. Thanks, Paul.
Ever since 1978.
I'd sure like to meet his tailor
Gonna get a big dish of beef chowmaine
@@SplatterHouseArchives that line always makes me want some takeout
The limes and pineapples are from drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
Paul's "not bad" group is better than most shooters' best groups.
yeah, his "not bad" at 50 yards is better than my not bad at 5 yards.
When he says "not bad" I do cry, every time because I do remember envy is a sin.
His poetry recitations are better than mine too.
I feel personally attacked! Yall been watching me at the range!
Certainly better than mine! Especially with a reload!
That pimped-out gold-plated SAA revolver DEFINITELY looked like a mock gun/ toy.... You had me totally fooled, until it fired. well played.
That's one hell of a cap gun!
@@StormWaltz73 cap and ball? Haha
Alec Baldwin be like...
I suspected a trick with it. His tone gave it away imo.
But I was nonetheless surprised when he shot it.
@GunsNGunpla probably at the bottom of the list of people to go trick or treating or play cowboys and Indians with
I saw the turn coming when Paul filled the hollow points with silver alloy, I didn't see the road we traveled afterwards. Limes, perfect hair, The Raven; I will watch this channel evermore.
On this week’s episode of “Story Time with Uncle Paul,” we hear a story of a pesky avian with an impressive ability to trigger introspection and slight levels of insanity in residents of humble shacks in the woods.
Uncle Paul? Yaaaay!
I didn't realize how much I need Paul reciting poetry in my life
The cutaway shot at the end was the best part.
LOL!!!!You know it!
....complete with Shatneresque pauses!
He could read out of the phone book and I'd still listen to every word
@@TheWolfsnack those are the best parts !
A reference to “Werewolves of London” and a recitation of ‘The Raven” makes this one of the most eclectic videos it has ever been my pleasure to witness.
Thank you. I never paid that close of attention to the lyrics and did not get the piña colada reference.
As soon as he showed the contents I was thinking - Oh no! Too funny!
at Trader Vic’s
AAAOOOOOOOOOO
From Zevon to Poe. Only Harrell could pull this off!
The poetry recitation was completely unexpected. And so was the pumpkin blowing up. We need something like this during these troubled times.
I certainly do enjoy Paul's sense of humor, exceptionally parched though it may be. And his recitation of The Raven was both impressive and enjoyable at once.
Learning a lot about werewolf identification today thank you
VERY eager to see how this information will teach me to simplify and improve my cooking
First time a non-gun YTer I watch comments on a gun channel I watch, lol!
Top ten anime crossovers
this isnt the first time he's talked about werewolves, I bet he hunts them when he's not making these videos
Well this is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Paul Harrell beautifully reciting "The Raven" was the mash-up I never knew I needed. Excellent work! No "Shatner-esque" pauses in that one 👏👏👏
Couldn’t tell if it was told right wrong or whatever lol words at this speed are like “say & pray” someone understands anything you said 😂
Did he memorize all that or was he reading? 🤔
Paul is much better with a teleprompter than Sleepy Joe is.
Damn, that's some good memorizing. Which he had recited it on 33rpm instead of 45rpm
Wow I have never heard ot this fast or this accurate. Great Job
Happy Halloween 🎃🕷️🦇🪦👻
Why do I get the feeling that Paul recited that entire poem from memory? P.S. The pumpkin shot at the end really got me good! 🎃
Hands down...Paul is the MAN! Not only do you get accurate and useful information.....with flawless presentation- you also get healthy doses of common sense!
Fun to see Paul has a broad sense of humor and his recital of "The Raven" poem was an eyebrow raiser, gone was his self-alleged halting speech impediments. The guy's got talents we're not even aware of.
But I think the closing credit should have included Edgar Allen Poe as a writer. 🙂
@@jkthedudeman I think mark was referring to the fact that Paul mentions having a speech impediment in a few prior videos
@@nopushbutton OTOH he mentioned neither that nor his... Shatneresue pauses... this time around.
Didn't look like he was reading from anything while reciting it, either...
@@jkthedudeman Well, I have heard rumors that he carries some Shatneresque
I love Paul's dry sense of humor. We need more of it in this country. The jacket is part of his costume, and he would not be Paul Harrell without it!
We need a hell of a lot more of his "only you can decide what's right for you" attitude too.
Unfortunately, currently our government is full of Karens.

In western Washington, trick-or-treaters would sometimes conduct a forceful entry and rob people who opened the door. Halloween is the only night when you open the door for every stranger that is knocking after dark. I carried while giving out candy.
Washington or Afghanistan
@@col8179 All of the trick-or-treaters that carried out a home invasion that I heard of were in Tacoma Washington. In one story, the trick-or-treaters came to the front door and distracted the owner, while other (older) kids broke through the back door and took the house.
Probably a smart course of action. 👌
Just down the road from my old house There were some people in a gang that killed a kid. I don't remember why, but it was a young kid who was trick or treating.
@@michaelfornes1479 That would explain it, that place is such an utter shithole.
Seamless transition from serious to parody, top tier! I look forward to the holiday specials the most! Especially the Thanksgiving one
Dressing as a judge, because paul always tells me
Just don't carry a Judge ; )
You be the Judge (but don't carry one)
@@chasedavidson2855 he should do that for one of his t-shirts lol.
I’m glad Halloween is covered, can’t wait to see your next video on “What gun should I protect myself with on Thanksgiving with my family? ” and “Is that Santa, or an intruder? Which firearms to protect your jingle bells”
1. A shotgun with turkey loads
2. I'd be partial to something with green and red tracers
Rabid Turkeys are always a problem: especially the Karen variety.
And Santa IS an intruder. Just because of good intentions doesn't change the fact that he's committing trespass. I mean, yes, those cookies and milk are an invite but he'd have to already be in the house to know they are there. (Or would that fall under knowing if you are naughty or nice? Just how far does that super power go? Or maybe not a super power but a joint thing with Facebook and Google?)
hell yeah, the few things left to look forward to anymore,,,,ok, it's not that bad, but it's getting there:)
@@mauer594 I have 9mm green and red tracers 😂😂😂
Thanksgiving is devoted to shotguns and bird-shot ammo. Christmas is all about rifles and shooting reindeer.
I have to say, that was one of the best recitations of the Raven I've ever heard!
@@ryanoneal8480 LOL!!!!
Never underestimate the Simpsons!
I love your videos! I watch because you are the go-to guy for shooting information. I will also add that the dryness of you humor throughout is appreciated. It so dry that it could be flea flatulence clearing dust from a dime.
I’ve never heard Poe recited so quickly. I loved it!
Please never stop posting, and doing so in the way you do!
9:06
...to demonstrate that your prop gun is very much a real gun.
Topical humor.
He wants to make sure nobody Baldwins a kid.
@@eddiet.7155 he doesnt want kids getting Baldwin'd on Halloween.
7:00 to 10:48 Paul just slapped the " No one is going to tell me I can't open carry " crowd. Think about what he is saying beyond halloween, there are situations where OC is not indicated.
The timing was 100% coincidence. This was filmed a day or two before that happened.
@@PaulHarrell Unfortunate, but darkly humorous.
Man, I love Paul's effortless sense of humor and the absolutely butter-smooth transitions from serious to joke. It always takes me a second and a double take to realize it. Please don't ever change. This man is an international treasure. He better be on some 'Cryogenically-freeze-and-store-in-bunker-in-case-of-doomsday' list.
This man is set in his ways and will never change.
@@rayburn8282 and that’s a good thing
Hes a treasure but im sure he’s capable of protecting himself
Like Burl Ives at Christmas, I have saved this video for our new Halloween tradition. Paul's reading of my favorite author Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Brilliantly done Sir. Right up there with Gunny R.Lee Ermey's Night before Christmas, may God bless him. Great video as always. Thank you.
"His hair was perfect" Paul, you got me cackling.
I absolutely _love_ the points you make about "toy" guns. I know for a fact not one single other CZcamsr would ever even consider those things, much less say them.
The silver filling is a nice idea, but don't forget to also dip the bullets in garlic extract.
And holy water
Having your edc baptized is a necessity also
He should be carving crucifix shapes into the tips of the projectiles. It'll affect accuracy some, but at vampire attack distances it should be inconsequential.
With the improved penetration you can take the werewolf and the vamp in one shot, possibly.
If the werewolf wasn't giving out full size candy bars, you could just avoid his house entirely.
Holy hell, Paul is an absolute genius.
Four minutes in aaaaaaaand... it is pure art. Why is him listing things so entertaining?! Also completely valid points all around! Bravo Mr. Harrel!
"Because his hair was perfect!" ROFLMAO!
Impressive recitation of Poe, as well. Very entertaining as always. Thanks Paul.
Paul is great!
AwoooOOO!
Paul's trick-or-treating neighbor: "Dang Paul...looks like you brought everything but the kitchen sink."
Paul: "Hold on" as he reaches into yet another pocket.
Probably the best thing I'm going to see today. The theatre kid in me cheered at the fully recounted anecdote at the end. So very well done.
15:50 Warren Zevon would be proud of that line. Another excellent presentation, Paul. Keep up the great work, and that was one hell of an ending recital!
The Warren Zevon references had me howling with laughter.
Ah-hoo...
I laughed so hard I scared my rabbit away :)

@@Hjerte_Verke for the record, i have eaten at Lee Ho Fooks in London. Didn’t see any werewolves, though.
Paul carries in the woods, as you never know when you might run into one of those "hairy-handed gents"..... and the clerk at the grocery store wondered why he had the pineapples in addition to the usual order of pork ribs and oranges.
I almost never leave comments, but I am compelled. That "story" was the most impressive thing ever. That you memmorized the whole thing and delivered it seamlessly and with such speed! And apparently in one take. Holy Cow! Much respect! ...as always...
I have a feeling it was memorized before (school?), the way it came out so fast and easy.
Less impressive but to my point, after 45 years, I can still recite some poems and rattle off the 29 colors of Joseph’s Technicolor Dream Coat (but I have to sing them or I can’t remember - lol)
@@BobC59 I've been using Murphy's oil soap on cedar oak and pine... 🎶
We all have these memories!
Almost as impressive as his shooting.
I was very impressed. Reciting it that well seemingly from memory. :)
And without a single Shatneresque pause.
The poem and ending were sublime... truly a man amongst men
Paul I believe your Director of photography standing behind the camera
is a very very brave and trusting person. They also deserve a raise.
Paul should have added, after the story: "Don't try this at home; I'm what you'd call garrulous."
I prefer, *_loquacious._*
Kid: Trick or Treat
Paul: Timmy, you had 8 cavities last time I saw you in the office, You’re getting instructions on how to brush your teeth.
With a toothbrush and toothpaste 😂
Ha ha ha !
BWAH HA HA!! A true fan, I see..
Its always nice to be reminded of just how fast a casual draw and fire of a firearm really is.
Just imagine hilking in the woods during halloween and coming across a man reciting The Raven with an AR-15 and jack o’ lanterns surrounding him
English major here, that was an absolutely brilliant recitation of Poe's Raven. Thank you Paul!
Tenth grade here in 1965. Busted my space time continuum.
agreed, best reading of Raven ever!
English Captain here, I agree. Unexpected treat.
Spanish Sergeant here, eso fue inesperado y asombroso
Deutscher Hauptmann hier, das war eine schöne Überraschung!
This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen. Serious, yet hilarious with humor so dry I’m partially dehydrated just from watching it. Brilliant.
The good news is that if you ate your candy early, Paul has water in his bag.
^ and more candy. And *more* water. And some .50 BMG ammo. And a flamethrower in case xenomorphs show up.
@@themykeshow9027 Always gotta be ready for xenomorphs
@@8mmmauserman Hell yeah!
Honestly, I'm actually not surprised that Paul has Poe's "The Raven" memorized. Impressed, greatly. But not surprised.
Now if Paul said he had all seasons of Jersey Shore on Blu-Ray and was on his fifteenth runthrough of the entire series, THAT would surprise me. Impressed? Nope, disappointed actually. But surprised, completely.
What would it take to both be impressed and surprised
Amazing reading: I've tried narrating audiobooks and wow you are skilled. Thank you for the level headed advice about being a good citizen. Advice that should come from every school.
I strap up two Ak's to my dogs harness while trick a treating. She identifys as a artillery tank.
That reminded me of John Wick 3, where Halle Berry’s character keeps a pistol hidden under her dog’s bulletproof vest.
Hey Paul, have you ever heard of people cutting an X into the front of a lead bullet to make "bootleg" hollow points?
I wonder if you could test those and see if bullets like that actually expand properly when they hit something.
That sounds interesting
It’s a mechanic in Red Dead Redemption 2, as far as I can tell, at least in the video game, it’s not worth the hassle to do.
In the real world, maybe 🤔
Or filling the tip off a FMJ
I think TAOFLEDERMAUS did exactly that test and recorded it on high speed. I believe it was with .22LR. Go take a look on that channel's vids.
Been meaning to request Paul to do this. Would like to see him try it with lead nose 45LC ammo. To see if making 'dum dum' rounds is effective. Maybe do a couple versions.
One with a X that is made with two cuts.
One with a X that is made with several cuts to make it deep
One with a X that is extremely deep.
The only person that could keep me listening through halloween bags, makeup, werewolves, guns, and ravens! Always great.
Can we make “Classic Poetry with Paul” a thing? It should be a thing.
I couldn't stop smiling the entire time you were reciting The Raven. That was amazing, well done sir!
I often wonder ho much Paul giggles to himself when doing these dry gags. There has to be some off camera giggles.
Maybe not. He is what we would call a professional.
Living in North Idaho, all costumes must be designed to accommodate options/layers for rain, snow, wind, and temperatures well below freezing.
God bless you, Paul Harrell and thanks for making my Halloween memorable. Your memory is impressively presented - on the first take, presumably?
Happy Haloweeeeeeen!
👻🎃🧛🧟♀️🥷
Fantastic Paul!
There stood alone that Halloween night
Paul and the creature that gave us a fright.
Afraid I was until I saw the barrel of his gun gleaming
In the pale moonlight that night was streaming.
But what crept among the ghostly trees
The shadow of the creature I see
Too scared to run or hide or fight
To our rescue is Paul to save the night.
A flash! A boom! Sounds Paul's new gun
Too scared to watch away we run.
Will we be trick or treating evermore? The final cry of the werewolf nevermore, nevermore.
Thanks for the fun Paul
Now I've heard Poe read many times. I've heard Poe as read quickly. I've heard Poe read with little or no expression. But never heard Poe read as fast and monotone as this.
I hope sincerely for April fools of 2022, Paul would consider doing a long presentation similar to his holiday specials of just anecdotes. They could all be loosely tied together, true or false. I can totally see a whole string of them and that's the whole presentation. I know he knows how much his commenters also love listening to him go over it so it may even provide as good satisfaction for some of his community. Nevertheless, I hope all within the Paul Harrell crew have a wonderful Halloween!
"His hair was perfect !" , oh my gosh Paul that was brilliant!
A quote from a 1978 song.
Anybody else catch that "Your toy gun is very real" with that SA .45 long Colt?
Alec Baldwin... HA!
OMG I didn't even catch that, nice
Haha, I didn't catch that either. Paul is almost too cleaver.
@@jessejohns4783 "Paul is almost too cleaver." Cutting sense of humor 'eh?
it's not what he implied
Paul is a legend for calling it "The beer situation" 😂😂😂
Late March/early April 2020 I was walking through a grocery store and there was a guy at a small display with a card table offering samples of Corona hard seltzer. Possibly the most badly timed new product release of all time. He seemed lonely there, no one was interested for whatever reason.
Another CZcamsr I follow calls it 'boomer remover'.
Sir, your humor makes the Sahara desert look like a swimming pool.
This video is by far the most brilliant celebration of Halloween I can even imagine. Also, I never suspected the video to take such a turn at the end.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece of entertainment - and Happy Halloween to you as well, sir.
Happy Halloween, Mr. Harrell! Thank you for the recitation, that's some fine memory-work you did there.
We used to have hard plastic orange pumpkins with black handles. Also, why would Paul need a bag when his jacket carries everything he needs?
You don't expect him to stuff candy in his pockets, do you?
@@lordphullautosear Heck yes I do.
it's for his kid. you cannot just give those jackets to any one. improper use can cause the pocket space to collapse, resulting in a potentially world ending black hole! safety first after all.
His jacket isn't *orange*, you see... ;l-)
Bags are sacrilege. Best get yo pun-kin on!
Paul Harrell presents The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, what a great way to start the week leading up to All Hallow's Eve!
Indeed... this year I believe I will stay the fort and reconoiter.... somehow ghosts and ghouls are far more palatable from the familiarity and comfort of home... love the Poe... read a book if you're not following
Pagans don't believe in satan, that's a product of the bible,made up by christians.
@Larry Pinhead Take a chill pill dude pinhead.
@@kevincurry8350 But Christians believe Pagans are still worshipping The Devil even if they don't know it. Which btw they are.
Pagans believe in mother nature, not some desert cult fairy tale. True pagans don't believe in the devil since it's a judeo- christian construct. Satanists may or may not believe in the devil, but pagans don't. Satanists and pagans are two different things totally. Satanists didn't come about until after the bible was written, because the devil didn't exists in people's minds until they heard it from the bible. Pagans on the other hand, existed many, many years before any organized religion. Their beliefs,practices,and high festivals were around way before judisim, christianity, and islam. Many things of the modern era, comes from paganism. The days of the week are named after gods and goddesses of ancient times. Alot of the holidays celebrated today, come from pagan high festivals. I could go on, but I won't. Some people don't know history, and the origin of many topics.
This was incredibly impressive. Thank you Paul for all your hard work!
I'm not much of a fan of Halloween, but you made this one something special! Warren and I thank you.
8:23 I know Paul is skilled, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how smooth and clean that presentation was? Like an iaijutsu master with a pistol. . .
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
"His hair was perfect"... LMAO!
A naked American man stole my balloons.
Brilliant! And great story delivery.
This may very well be my favorite episode of all time, Paul. Thank You.
Very, very impressive! To recite Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” completely from memory was wonderful to watch. Paul amazes me more with every new video!
Impressive yes. But not surprising considering it's Paul Harrel. Lol
i was rather impressed, his speech impediment just dissapeared.
You sure it was from memory? I thought it was accessible offscreen
@@halosrusty I don’t think Paul was reading it from a teleprompter or something. He was too smooth and knew the proper inflections of the different stanzas.
@@markclampet2775 Tis a quandary still, and still very impressive either way.
I always carry now, always... Paul taught me "program compliance", and it's always stuck. Even in my own house, at work, everywhere. I'm always within inches of a firearm at any given time, and I train often. Thank you Paul!
I don't know how to live any other way.
I see no benefit of being disarmed, that's why me must remained armed all the time, even at home.
I always start my day with a desk pop in the office
Bingo. Thats the way I live
This has been my practice for many years.
This was amazing! Had me rolling especially with the Silver tips. Thank you Paul!
Wow, never fail to entertain, enlighten and impress. 👍🏻
Paul Happy Halloween 🎃
What an ending! That was great! Guns, literature, unrequited love, and an exploding pumpkin! No other firearm channel offers such!
I carry orange soda to bait the evil jack o lanterns like you taught me. 😏
When they drink, then comes the surprise…🎃🔫🗯💥
Paul proves once again he is a living classic.
I always appreciate how clearly I feel your desire to educate and prevent catastrophe when firearms are involved.
I would recommend having the silver blessed in a mixture of holy water and garlic oil so you can also cover your bases with Vampires
Yeah, I'm going full Constantine this Halloween. Silver bullets blessed by a priest and holy water in my super soaker.
You can just carve a cross into the bullet and get the same effect
I just strap an unlicensed nuclear accelerator to my back.

Paul eternally astounds us with his knowledge and talents. Nice job with EAP's poetry.
Paul never ceased to amaze. Just when you least expect it, he recites 'The Raven' without a break. Why is that in his brain??? Inquiring minds want to know!
This was by far the most entertaining and ecclectic video, I love your content.
An interesting and humorous melding of poetic stories.
Of this tale, I might begrudge,
It's my choice, I'll be the judge.

You are a national treasure. Happy Halloween, Paul.
We should all strive to someday have as much character as Paul Harrell.
Never stopped carrying my EDC. Holidays doubly so because law enforcement will be too busy dealing with idiots. Stay safe!
spoken word Poe by Paul is surprisingly gratifying. thanks for the Halloween special sir.
Always informative and often entertaining. Great job w/ the rapid fire Poe.👍
