The Giant Prehistoric Ape Doomed By Its Own Coolness

- As descendants of apes, it can be tempting to think that we humans are the apex of that evolutionary line. We've dominated the planet for thousands of years, and no other species has ever completely transcended the food chain the way we have. There is no doubt that human beings have the most evolved brains of the apes.

The auto generated subtitle had some trouble generating the "gigantic python kiss"
5:55 - "...gigantic pathogens..." Love the subtitles!
The one-liners come off funnier with the other guy’s voice. Inflection, pace, & comedic timing are lacking in this vid. Good info, tho. Thx
Swaim has great comedic timing when it's stuff he wrote. Doesn't look like he wrote this though
@@RushedAnimation
This sounds more like a bot voice.
Agree!
Same... sad
@@RushedAnimationmost presenters don't write their own scripts. Sounds to me like he was a bad choice.
The auto-generated subtitles for this episode are fantastic; apparently 'gigantopithecus' isn't in AI's dictionary yet.
"Gigantic python kiss"... That AI is goofy.
that was my favourite! :) Makes you wonder what the AI is up to in its free time...@@Tinfoilist
History is being erased 😢
Or at least homophonically replaced.@@amydblanchard9704
10:11 "Gigantic orcas" lol
I want to say I usually don’t comment but I think one of the reasons most people don’t like this narrator is because his voice is more nasally than the previous narrator, but besides that in my opinion he’s doing great! It’s just that his voice is kind of nasally.
Edited: I feel like I should add I know most people don’t like this narrator for more then his tone like his timing and all that,But he’s trying his best (I believe at least) and I don’t mean for what I commented to come off as a hate comment.
I don’t think so.
The primary narrator is much better. I feel like they write his sarcasm specifically for him and when this guy and the girl do it, it just doesn’t sound as good.
It’s not just that it’s the vibe I get from each narrator, with the OG guy I feel like it’s almost a cousin of drunk history, with this guy I feel like I’m watching a pbs show
@@elizalam5253that's fine, but the majority of us do. Not that anyone should be concerned with the opinions of someone who hides behind the name of a dead girl. What is wrong with you?
I liked the whole presentation.
I miss Tom Blank
It’s not that he’s a bad narrator but my brain is trained to relax to his voice and drift off! This makes me lose focus lol
I honestly prefer Swaim, because the videos feel more like a history class than a radio show.
I really get that. I have to mentally prepared to listen to him
"Left turn, Clyde."
Dude. The original narrator MAKES THIS CHANNEL.
Sounds like a kid is narrating. The original narrator has good timing and punch lines. This one kind of rambles 🤷🏻♂️
Have they brought up why they're changing the narrator so frequently? I'm trying pretty hard to adapt and knowing the 'why' might help
"...pretty hard to adapt..."? You lead a very fragile life.
@@danidavis7912 People subscribed for the other narrator, same as people subscribed for pewdiepie - not the content itself. CZcams is all about personality and when that is removed, of course it's hard to adapt.
@@LightsAcapella Not everyone is here to watch a popularity contest between presenters. Usually the only people crying about a presenter bitch and moan about everything else in their lives too. That's just how those people generally are. And when I see people complaining about their inability to "adapt", well, that's just weird and weak.
@@LightsAcapellapeople subscribe to this type of content for the content.
@@LightsAcapella You Tube may be all about "personality" to you but not to everyone. A few of us actually come here to be enlightened on interesting things. I bet you're a Taylor Swift fan girl too, huh?
6:21 Awesome shot, what a cool-looking monster truck!
what happened whit the other host?
Just because it's funny on paper it ain't coming off during your patter.
Its not that the other narrarators are bad - theyre great really but they just arent the weirdo we have grown to love. He just has something special.
I laughed myself silly at the closed captioning. Gigantic python kiss? Gigantic orca? 🤣🤣🤣
In the live action Jungle Book, right before King Louis appears, Mogli rings a cowbell, an obvious reference to the famous SNL skit.
How so?
@@williamphillips2671 look up the sketch More Cowbell.
@@williamphillips2671
Don’t Fear The Reaper
At least not when he’s playing a cowbell loudly
"Well, today"...I'm out.
Agreed. I just checked where I paused it and I'm still on the one second mark, ha ha. And that is where the play head shall stay.
Badass!! I love learning about anything prehistoric!!
Please do The History of Godzilla
I second that
I don't do subtitles. 🤣
Every channel that uses that narrator suffers this problem when he doesn't do the video lol.
You need to use the OG narrator for these extra silly videos cause he can pull it off but in this video the jokes just sound cringe...
1:33 The phrase "Too big to fail" (TBTF) is "a theory in banking and finance that asserts that certain corporations, particularly financial institutions, are so large and so interconnected that their failure would be disastrous to the greater economic system, and therefore should be supported by government when they face potential failure." (wikipedia)
There's not enough bananas for them back then...probably
Hopefully you're joking.
I heard they sang like Christopher Walken.
Seriously? This guy again? Unwatchable. You should put a disclaimer in the title warning us when this insufferable narrator is reading so I don't waste my time clicking on it.
Love the channel. The narrator was among the best parts
The gorilla is no longer the largest living primate. American humans have evolved to regularly be larger than 450 lbs, particularly in Alabama or Georgia.
500 lbs not 50 lbs
@@philiplindsay225
Yeah, he blew his own joke and didn’t even bother to proofread it before posting. 🥴👎🏻
@@totallyfrozen .🥶😃😂
USA isn't even top 10.
It may be time to stop the anti-south bigotry
@@totallyfrozen West Virginia also?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't care for this narrator I automatically relax when I hear the other (better) voice
This guy sounds like Derrick Accosta from Mega64
I think that something other than science inspired King Louis the Orangutan.
King Kong ain't got nothing on me!
7:52 There are Decoding the Unknown videos about Bigfoot (The Legend of Bigfoot: Hunting for Evidence of the Sasquatch) and The Loch Ness Monster (Does the Loch Ness Monster Actually Exist?), excellent videos!
Could the Yeti be a descendant of the Gigantopithecus?
This would have been a great video for the other guy to voice 😉😂
I can relate. I too, was doomed by my own coolness. 😢
5:29 I would love to own that statue of King Kong. I would put him on my front lawn.
How on earth did they decide that this ape was 10’ tall when they only found his teeth? Seems like scientists are making assumptions?
so bigfoot?
6:34 The Back to the Future films are so awesome!
I remember the first time I saw that scene!
Would be so cool to drive one of those Deloreans!
A question. At 5'29" the image shown there, where was that taken? I could swear it's from Bobbejaanland in Belgium. I even recognize the ice cream logo of Ola underneath the I of King Kong
gigantopithecus is still around we just call them BigFoot now
I miss the old voice 😢
Is that Michael Swaim from Cracked?
that's what I thought!!!
if it is Swaim, he definitely didn't write the script.
This was an Excellent video ! Thank you for sharing
Gigantic python kiss? Please review your subtitles prior to posting videos. Way too many errors.
The subtitles are automatically generated by Google,it has nothing to do with the channel.
Like having your favorite band replace the lead singer.
Clicked out soon as I heard it wasn't my guys usual voice...
Last time I commented on this guy some fine person told me “ whah whah “. As funny as that is it m not gonna say anything. I think it’s been said. Best of luck to this man tho.
Bring back the OG please.
7:46 That #5 crytid (image of the rabbit with horns) is the jackalope.
I used to ask people in Wyoming why I didn't see any jackaloupes around and they would dutifully make up stories to explain why.
Once I went into a grocery store and asked if I could buy a hunting permit for jackalopes and the clerk instinctively said "They don't exist!"
Were you a kid when you asked people that Ben? Or did you think as an adult that they existed?
@@sarahkatie7497 It was about four years ago lol.
I remember the jackalope from a hilarious skit on the tv show America's Funniest Home Videos (they called the character The Jackalope)
2:07 The original Donkey Kong game "was Nintendo's first major international success and established it as a prominent force in the video game industry." (wikipedia)
3:47 Toss salad goes great with pasta!
Olive Garden has my favorite toss salad by far!
Isn’t he Duncan Trussell the stand up comic
Not today bro
The old mall in my town is now home to the community college
7:46 I believe the one at #8 is the Owlman, "an owl-like humanoid creature said to have been seen in 1976 in the village of Mawnan, Cornwall, UK." (wikipedia).
9:03 Scarlett Johannson has become one of my favorite actresses.
If he says gigantapithacus one more time
8:01 Patti is the name the Sasquatch community calls her from this picture according to The Bigfoot Lady (Owner of the Bigfoot Museum in Hastings, Nebraska).
My elder brother and I went there for my 40th birthday.
4:54 That reminds me of the music video "Intergalatic" by The Beastie Boys (1998).
That song was on the first trailer for the film The Marvels (2023).
To be fair, King Kong in the first movie was only about twice the size of Gigantopithecus blacki (varying between 18 feet tall in the forest, and 24 feet tall in the city, I guess because they'd already done the jungle scenes before realizing that he didn't look impressive enough in NYC at the lower height), which is less ridiculous than the more recent films. Interestingly, the little known sequel, Son of Kong (yes, really) had an ape that was believed to be Kong's offspring, and was twelve feet tall like King Louie, so not much bigger than Gigantopithecus blacki. I think the original 'Mighty Joe Young' also had a twelve foot tall ape in the title character, though the remake likewise made him bigger.
I read in a book that gigantopithicus is supposedly what Bigfoot Sasquatch yeti etc really is crazy!!
The giants in my fantasy novel have their size based on gigantopithecus because of the square-cube rule.
7:37 Sounds like a warning from a radical dentist!
Speaking dentists, the one I always think of in pop culture is Dr. George Hardy from the documentary The Best Worst Movie (2009).
He is in Troll 2 (1990), my favorite bad movie.
Hilarious closed captions for this one.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Fascinating history!
1:07 Since Febuary 19th, it was been The Year of the Dragon.
There is a film called Year of the Dragon (1985), which has become a cult classic.
Been waiting for them to do a video about me
So size, like time, is all relative. Giganto wasn't as enormous to its contemporaries as it is to us.
This has to be Jon Solo. It sounds exactly like him
7:43 I watched the film Missing Link (2019) recently, great film!
The music of the film is composed by Carter Burwell, the same family name used to name my hometown of Burwell.
dude, one comment!
@@Tactical_Hotdogleave him alone please :)
@@sarahkatie7497nah
Lock Ness moster can't be a creature from the jurassic era because lake is only about 10,000 years old, maybe unknown large fish
Where's the other guy. You're missing the sacasmic tone.
Something that size could not climb high and reach foods that orangutans could get to get them through hard times. Some fig trees are really tall and unless these apes tore down the trees on a regular basis they were pretty vulnerable. Being able to climb as high as orangutans can makes all the difference.
The reason they use other voices so they can pay less for the voice over
Sorry but this narrator reads the jokes like it was another piece of information. That combined with the weirdly sad and dramatic music is just a NO for me. Didn’t even make it half way through the video I got so bored
Grate narration, fun, facts thank you🤘
The multiple narrator thing is damaging your brand. Restructure/split up the channel if you don't want to overload.
Pin this comment! Couldn't agree more!
the Swaim knows all........
Your doing a good job narrator! Keep Improving your voice craft!
4:36 The song "Walk Like A Man" by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons is featured prominently in the film Sleepers (1996) and is featured in the fim Mrs. Doubtfire (1993). (wikipedia).
The song "Walk Like a Man" is "part of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list." (wikipedia)
Too bad he was a piss-poor human being. In the mid-70s he and his production team came to our relatively small, Oregon coastal fishing village, ran up huge bills all over town and then skipped without paying most of them. Scum bag, pretty much.
Mrs doubtfire is one of my favorite movies Ben!! I miss robin Williams!
Interesting
Nope. Where's our guy?
Weird…. 😮
You rang?
3:25 bamboo was disproven because they ate vegetation. Huh?! Nonsense statement?!?
This narrator about as funny as when my uncle got my sister pregnant
Thanks for this! 🦍
Remember Harry & the Henderson's! Love that film but regardless I'll never believe in Big Foot.
BRING BACK THE OG NARRATOR PLZ
I am going to watch the videos:
x How a Coal Mine Dig Unearthed a Prehistoric Mega-Snake (1st Recommendation, second time watching)
x A Breakdown of the Asteroid That Wiped Out the Dinosaurs (2nd Recommendation)
x What Happened After Theory of Evolution Was Published
x The Petty Feud That Almost Destroyed Paleontology
Ill still always like King Kong!
Oh yeah, there is totally Bigfoot species in the pacific northwest. LOL
Bring back the other narrator
A narrator that doesn't sound like he's rushing through a gig he doesn't really want to do would be nice. You know, like the one you had? Do we really need to hear someone speed read through their nose?
No.
I know that GODZILLA means Gorilla and Whale 🐋 how did they know to make him a giant 🦎 lizard and make him breathe fire 🔥 and that goes to Rodan and Mothra plus King Ghidorah
The jokes are hitting like marvel movies after end game...
Oh no, not Weird History Jr. again
Oh, yes!
"Variety is the spice of life -- even when you're a giant ape!"
Dude, we literally are giant apes.
Uh, no. We are large primates. We are not and have never been apes, at any time in our evolutionary climb up the ladder.
@@danidavis7912 Pity. A simple Google search for "are humans classified as apes" could have saved you from embarrassing yourself like this.
If the original narrator can’t do a video for whatever reason, wait until he can. Enough of this guy
