Ryan: *hears that people started a riot over the ending of a play* So dumb
Also Ryan: *threatens a puppet*
Wait... Đey _what?_
also nobody rioted when she was executed for real
The professer’s really not even trying to be subtle anymore with the whole time travel thing, huh?
I am so here for the professor's back story. Given the ability to travel through time by a Gene. But what else has this Gene taken away from him?
@@matthewjensen8681 I think you meant genie but now I'm hoping the genie's name is Gene. There's GENE AT IT AGAIN 🤣
Sarah VanderDussen OF COURSE THE GENIE IS NAMED GENE.
Obviously the professor was once human and asked Gene the genie to give him the ability to time travel, but alas the catch was he would be turned into a puppet
It's the genie's fault probably
Fun fact: in Spain we hate Napoleon so bad it's considered a dog name. Like an actual name for dogs. Even today, people name their dogs "Napoleon". Also, his brother José Bonaparte was called Pepe Botella ("Joey Bottle") bc he was known for being a drunk.
that seems mean to dogs :(
@@morganbodhi9492 i think it was an old-timey thing from when people didn't think of their pets the way we do today and then it just became a custom... i promise we love our dogs 😂
@@dany4645 you are totally right but i also think it's kind of funny to give a cute puppy such a long regal name... i think it's (thankfully) becoming less common tho
@PBJMan because back in the day dogs weren't often thought of as pets and friends to be taken care of like today, they were used to guard the house or the sheep or whatever, many slept on the floor, etc. i'm not saying people hated their dogs but even if they liked them they usually thought of them as lesser creatures. so to give someone's name to a dog is a way of mocking them and putting them down, like saying "you're just a dog, you're not a person to me". and you could order your dog around so it would be like "Napoleon, come here, sit" and such, which is a way of again interpreting Napoleon as "below" you.
@@MiniaMonteagudo Some of my French friends also detest Napoleon. They told me that he is not really admired in France anymore.
I studied Spanish history and I was happy to see you mention "Pepe Botella"! But I always thought his nickname was "Pepe Botellas", meaning that he drank A LOT.
Shane’s consistent hatred of the rich is so heartwarming
You realise the guy is pretty well off himself?
@@johnpaulmcdonnell1188 There's a difference between middle class and the political/socioeconomic elite. Shane probably has, like, an apartment in LA.
@@johnpaulmcdonnell1188 hes upper middle class at most. Yall need to learn the difference between that and actual elite class
"Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get on Shane's good side."
@@johnpaulmcdonnell1188 Pretty well off ≠ elite class
So the professor wished to be able to time travel, but a genie tricked him and forced him to become a puppet. Loving the backstory.
The genie might have also been the devil
Duckie LooLoui possibly
We stan puppet history lore lol
He may have also asked for immortality, judging by the fact he said that the years get a little fuzzy. That's probably the wish he got turned into a puppet on
lore is the best part
the professor found a genie and wished to time travel and is now a cursed, tired immortal. these are all his own tales.
I’ve been rewatching the earlier episodes, and the first mention of the genie was in the Violet Jessop episode... when Shane spilled the jelly beans. I feel like that can’t be a coincidence.
@Sahana Collins probably immortality since immortality can be more of a curse than a blessing.
I love this
*_DUN DUN_*
Maybe he can't die from natural causes, only by getting killed. That's why he angers ryan do hard to kill him.
I love that Curly was Vibing during the song and Ryan was astral projecting himself into the dimension where he gets to toss the Professor into the ocean
Toss him out a window you mean
21:00 aww the memories
Hey not Helen 🤙🏻 "vibing" maybe Helen's granddaughter.... Mahalo hot Helen
jsjbdykstbb so true
Another badass thing about policarpa, usually when someone is executed by firing squad they have their backs at the executioners. Policarpa turners around and stared at the executioners.
Plot twist: the reason why Ryan never wins is either: A. the professor wants to save Ryan, and so is willing to sacrifice all the other guests on the show but him, or B. Ryan is in on the plan, and is helping the professor turn the other guests into puppets by pretending to compete in the show
Lol Ryan's the genie in disguise.
@@rayn1229 Ricky Goldsworth is đe genie.
And the jellybeans they're eating are the ones that's making them as puppets
I said the same thing!!!!
Nice theory
It´s so refreshing to see "foreign" media talk about my country but it´s not about drugs. Maybe you guys consider talking about Benkos Bioho and how he managed to fund the first free town for slaves in America
yes agreed !! 🇨🇴🇨🇴
He sounds like a good man. What timeframe was he in?
Sorry, I’m just commenting in case someone decides to add more information, he sounds interesting.
He became the rebellion leader of runaway slaves in Nueva Granada(Colombia) at the beginning of s.XVI. The first time he tried to escape he was recaptured. The second time with the help of 30 others he was finally successful and founded San Basilio de Palenque. There he established an intelligence network, a prepared and armed army, and groups of recruitment with the purpose of finding and freeing other slaves. Of course, the Spaniards tried many times to recapture the runaways but they were defeated every time. In 1613 they came to sorta a peace treaty where they recognized Palenque´s autonomy and everyone that lived there a freeman as long as Benkos stopped referring to himself as king and welcoming more runaways. Finally in 1621 good old Spain violated the agreement and hanged Benkos. This is like a summary of the summary.
Literal ❤️🇨🇴
The professor: men are trouble, baby, stay away from them!
Me, a lesbian: No problem, sir
me, a bisexual: that might be a problem, but women are pretty so not really

LOOK AT THAT HIGH WAISTED MAN HE GOT FEMININE HIPS
WAIT- I'VE PIECED IT TOGETHER, IT HIT ME WHEN THE PROFESSOR SAID "I don't want to see my wonderful little puppets get hurt.", THE PROFESSOR MADE THE HISTORICAL FIGURES INTO PUPPETS, JUST LIKE THE GUESTS, EXPLAINING HIS SUBTLE IMPLICATIONS OF KNOWING THE FIGURES PERSONALLY!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE
YOOOO
OH SHIT
Wait do you think that before all of the people in the stories die , that the Professor pops in with time travel from the genie turns them into puppets and goes back to the modern day?
Oh damn-
AYOOO
She’s sew in-spy-ering
You. I like you.
This made me smile and laugh a little ^^
Unbelievable
I wanna see Ryan win, eat a magical jellybean, get turned into a puppet, and fist fight the professor in the puppet theatre
The professor:"Come at me, bro!!!"
Final season fight
Oh my god that would be hilarious XD
The question is, would Ryan stay ripped as a puppet? If he did does the Professor have some sort of magical ability to STILL win. Personally I think the Professor would use his time travel abilities to predict the hits and avoid Ryan's hits altogether.
That needs to be the series finale!
Can...can we just appreciate for a second the fact that Shane's legit building a whole time-travel-genie-lore within this series like??
someday, someone will pick C and we will learn his backstory..
This is the same energy as the hot daga tbh
For someone that has created the hotdagga, this is nothing
I was just coming here to say this. And I wouldn't be surprised if it intertwined with the Hot Daga at some point.
It’s the hot dogga all over again lol
I know this is silly but Ryan describing his 21-year-old self as a human disaster made me feel better bc I am currently the 21-year-old human disaster
in the brilliant words of shane madej himself, "anyone who's content with their life at 23 is a cop"
Oh, you KNOW Shane was waiting for someone to make a short Napoleon quip. You KNOW he was snickering to himself when he thought up the giant Napoleon gag.
"turns out unbelievable cruelty towards a group of people standing up for what they believe in is seldom what wins the support of people, especially in the long lens of history" yet another commentary from the professor that has nothing to do with the current state of the world
Well it is a universal and timeless idea, it can be relevant in any era
i’m glad someone else noticed this, tho it could probably apply to any era in history, it hits way harder for the events of 2020 and i love how he said it
i agree with all of you, it is a universal and timeless concept, it stuck out especially given the current events
Yeah, the spool's song has nothing to do with any of that either. Just a funny song.
Depressing and true

@@rudeminnesotan yep i can already *feel* it
Accurate.
I love how I slowly forget there's a person behind the professor the longer I watch this series... XD
the character building is so good I really think while watching that the professor is a completely different entity from shane
I actually think it's really sweet that the audience refused to let Policarpa die on stage
Yeah, i guessed that answer because people back then were a lot more impassioned about things like that than we are today. I think the skit leading up to the explanation was not doing justice to what happened tbh, I'm pretty sure they were fully aware that it was a play, but were a lot more involved
Shane early in Unsolved: "Look. I dont want to get political."
Shane as time goes on: "Eat the rich, you cant trust the government, all cops are bastards, donate to planned parenthood."

Love that for him tho
So is Shane an anarchist?

-Gain strong intelligence (Granted)
-Immortality (Made into a puppet)
WHOA
@TK Wallace
I think over time, The Professor's skin changes into a torquoise-like hue and added the furry thing around the first episode of Puppet History.
We are slowly gaining more and more lore into the Professor and his relationship with the genie... Should we be worried?
Imma bout to write a convoluted backstory to this
shane really said "eat the rich" and made an absolute banger of a song at the same time.
my sister was watching this in her room and i raced in and said "I heard the puppet! I'm here to watch". She looked at me and went "you mean Shane" and I looked at her and said "there is no more Shane. Just the Professor"
"Turns out, unbelievable cruelty towards people standing up for what they believe in is seldom what wins the support of people."

Everyone else in the comments talking about the professors dark and twisted backstory,
I'm here crying over how sweet Curly and the professor's friendship is and about how painful it must have been to turn him into a puppet with the jellybeans, the same way he talked about how painful being a spy would be, because you would have to turn your back on your friends and that may be hinting at the professor's inner turmoil at having to befriend and gain the trust of the guests on the show, only to turn them into puppets, cursing them to share his eternal agony.
*I'll go home now*
Maybe that's why Ryan never wins; The professor doesn't want him to because he doesn't want his best friend to have to live in puppet agony like him.
@@brianellyflores9084 why am i crying at this omg i just thought ab it

When I get tired of watching Sesame Street with my almost-2 year old, I trick him with Puppet History. We were just watching this episode on the TV and I caught him dancing and babbling along to the spool's song. Thanks for Puppet History, guys. Keeps me sane and the kid entertained!
After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly.
Actual Score: Ryan had 2 points and Curly had 4. The guest won fairly and I heavily relate to him about going to the supermarket, it is terrifying, there are Karens lurking around every corner

Shane’s ability to always remember when to open and close the mouth while also reading a script is impressive. It’s a small thing that I think a lot of people would overlook and get out of sync. But Shane nails it.
Jillian Bergamasco
I used to do puppetry story time for kids, and getting your puppet in sync with your voice is just a matter of opening your hand every time you open your mouth. It takes practice, but it becomes something you can do without even thinking about it.
Then the real trick is keeping your hand(s) from “talking” when you’re NOT using your puppet(s), lol.
@@hannatude Did you ever watch the tv show Soap? You just made me think of a character who does ventriloquism constantly, whose family took away his puppet in annoyance, and he started sticking his hand in random objects so he could keep doing the mouth flaps xD

The "eat the rich" was not a metaphor. The professor is revealing his actual diet. Not sure if he really eats jellybeans tho 😕
The spool really said “eat the rich” and Im here for it
So are we just not going to address the "Garett turned into a puppet when he ate a jellybean" thing? Is Curly going to go puppet off camera? Will all of the buzzfeed employees slowly start going puppet? I have so many questions.
If only Curly really *had* chosen the genie answer, we might all know the answer by now.
the professor is actually protecting ryan by preventing him from winning and becoming a puppet
"Going puppet" I like that phrase along with variations of "getting monked".
What episode was that?
@@dragonlordthekingofdragons6373 The episode with the greatest samurai, I believe.
2020:
Shane: "SNITCH ON THE RICH! IT'S TIME TO-A-EAT THE RICH!"
Me: *Forever stans while twerking to the song alongside curly*
I mean it does also gloss over the fact that revolutions are usually led by elites. Latin American Wars of Independence included.
Me even after being a rich kid all my life: *breaking my spine dancing* "TOSS THEIR ASSES ON THE MENU!! CAUSE ITS TIME TO EAT!!!
i loved it, why is noone talking about it, it's a masterpiece. gonna turn my nephews up with these ones when they are kids
my thoughts exactly! and the other comment isn't wrong but weird that's who you're defending. You're right though! Turns out we need to eat and feed our families to do other stuff like consider our nation! But thanks for pointing it out!
Watching this whilst sewing and absolutely vibing to the spool’s song
"Hey- steal from the rich. Just do it."
Curly twerking to a singing puppet gave me life...
Ryan doesn't go that extra mile. He doesn't deserve jelly beans.
@@recoil53 Excuse me, the lil' beef boy deserves all the jelly beans
Both Curly and I was twerking 😂
"He was 5'6" that's not tiny"
"That's pretty small isn't it?"
Me: cries in 5'5"
Edit: Damn wasn't aware that me complaining about being a short guy would start an argument in the comments :/
Quetzalli Vera
Me, who is 5”1’: you’re powerful, clearly
@Daniel 5'6 is the current world average male height.
Back then, the average height would be shorter, so he was on the taller side of average.
Plus, guarantee you Ryan is shorter than that.
Cries in 4’11”
Daniel wrong
@@Strange_Logik no, he's 5ft 9.75in iirc

People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, Governments should be afraid of their people.
Yessss I loved this episode!! 🇨🇴 & the pronunciations of Bogotá 😅
I also suggest doing an episode on Las Mariposas, a group of sisters from the Dominican Republic who rebelled against the dictator and were the inspiration for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. I recommend to read Julia Alvarez’s book “In The Time of the Butterflies” 🦋✨
The Sewing Spy is any given grandma, just, sitting at the window and watching all the neighborhood drama while needling away.
Am I a grandma? Other than the sewing I do the same. I’m nosy 😂
A lot of these have made me realize how much women's narratives have been erased from history. I might have liked learning history more in school if these stories were more prevalent.
Instead, you have to stumble upon a tedxtalk video about a forgotten female historical figure, like I did with Sor Juana.
God bless S̶h̶a̶n̶e̶ The Professor for using this platform to tell us stories like this that are of often not taught to mainstream American audiences. I consider myself a bit fan of women in history and I have never heard of Policarpa before.
In Colombia, she is one of the most important names of the pre-Independence movement. Its awesome to see more people get to know her story
Out of 7 episodes of puppet history season 2, 3 of them are talking about women in history. That first female detective in US, hatshepsut, and this episode.
@@syahrezadifachri5121 Shane drinks his respect women juice.
As a Colombian seeing a figure I love so much about my history depicted here just made me love the show a million times more.
Thank you so much for talking about latin american history, especially Colombian. As a Colombian, I really appreciate it!
I love how the professor pronounces the words correctly, he doesn't make them easier for him to say but makes the effort to say them correctly. thank you professor for putting in effort
this!!!!!! I'm Indian, and it makes me so upset when white people call names like "Suresh" difficult to pronounce but have no problem pronouncing McKayleighlynn and boasting that they can rap the whole of Super Bass.
@@sunny-ot8ee If I don’t know how to pronounce someone’s name I literally just ask them how they pronounce it, it’s not that hard like some people make it out to be and I hate it so much
So, here’s my headcanon.
Once upon a time, there lived a history professor who was well-travelled, highly educated, and generally liked by his peers and his students at Puppet University. Sadly, he was too focused on gaining more knowledge and prestige to even think about reciprocating the affection lavished upon him. One day, he heard about the Coveted Cup of the History Master and he sought to find it, come hell or high water. He left his job, declaring that he will only come back when he has found the cup. And so he searched and searched. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years, and soon enough, it had been a decade since the professor has left PU.
He was close to giving up hope, to abandoning his quest and return to his day job of teaching, when he got a lucky break - the Coveted Cup of the History Master is located in the middle of the Sahara desert. So, with his resolve renewed, he set out to the desert in the hope of locating it. And locate it, he did. Overjoyed, he took the cup and headed back to town. At a tavern stop along the way, he accidentally rubbed the cup, and lo and behold, a genie popped out.
“Who dare awaken the mighty genie of the Coveted Cup?”
“It is I, the Professor!”
“Well, that was underwhelming. But since I am the genie, I will still grant you three wishes.”
The Professor grinned. He couldn’t believe it. He already proved that he was superior to his peers and now he was also getting a chance to get whatever he wanted, all on a silver platter.
“Genie, I wish to be the most intelligent being on Earth.”
“Granted.”
“I wish to have the ability to time travel.”
“Granted.”
“I wish to be immortal.”
“Granted.”
A cloud of blue smoke obscured the Professor. After what seemed like an eternity, it finally cleared, The Professor and the genie both disappeared. All that was left was a blue puppet with glasses and several small coveted cups, all filled with jellybeans. He got his wish, all right.
Tl;dr: The Genie transformed the Professor into a time-travelling puppet in order to fulfil his wish of being an immortal time traveller. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. May I suggest La Maupin for next season?
Edit: I found a way to explain why people turn into puppets when they eat jellybeans.
Edit 2: I can’t figure out how to link my fanfic here, but you can find it on AO3. It’s called The Jellybean or: How I Learned to Stop Whining and Repopulate a Species. I’ve only gotten the first chapter up, but there will be more. By the way, thanks for the likes :)
Edit 3: Word choices.
Edit 4: the fanfic’s been taken down until further notice. Also, this is the most likes I think I’ve ever gotten, so thanks:)
Your theory/story is so detailed, I love for it 👌👌👌

Fun fact: Here in Spain, we call Joseph Bonaparte "Pepe Botella", which translates to "Pepe Bottle". It comes from the fact that, when Joseph Bonaparte came to Spain, he tried to seem nice to Spainiards, who hated him anyway, and bought a couple of bottles of wine from locals, so people started calling him a drunk, hence the nickname "Pepe Botella".
Please invite Safiya as a special guest for next season, she would be wonderful 💖
You know, I don't think she's associated with anybody from Buzzfeed since her early days when she did collabs for an audience.
It’s already been filmed, pal 😂
@@greatvalue_ethelcain what do you mean "it's already been filmed"? You saying that they have already filmed an episode with Saf? Or are you saying that the episodes have already been filmed for the season?
recoil53 yeah I think you’re right, anyway just some wishful thinking on my part. I love both safiya and the watcher boys so I’d love a crossover, but of course it’s not so easy as that and no pressure to anyone
recoil53 she did an episode with the try guys.
I know her speech by heart! I'm colombian and i played her in a school play (yEARS AGO) but i still remember xD
Gotta love that the guys can go from eat the rich to feed the rich gold
Theory: The professor made a deal with Shane thinking he was a genie, but Shane is actually a demon. And Shane is trying to protect Ryan, so he never lets Ryan win
I was actually thinking the same thing bc the Professor said it seems like he made a deal with the devil
That is oddly sweet coming from Shane
In the molasses video Shane was the genie during THAT sequence
"13 year olds are the meanest people I have ever met." -John Mulaney
This quote was too true, I work in a school, can confirm.
como colombiana estoy dichosa de ver un episodio de puppet history sobre policarpa, alguna vez en el colegio reactue su ejecucion, entonces me emocione mucho, tambien fue demasiado hermoso escuchar a shane ser corregido por curly pronunciando el nombre de mi ciudad natal, como una rola muy orgullosale doy a este episodio tiene 10 monserrates de 10 :)
You bet I’m going to get emotional over this episode because it’s covering a part of my country’s history. Colombia as a county is one I rarely see covered in mainstream/big places and when it is it’s usually to point out the negatives.
TLDR Thanks for this
