The logic that if a people fucking hate their government and are angry all the time, it's a sign of democracy and freedom of speech, even if they end up getting arrested and pepper-sprayed into permanent blindness (or have their eyeballs torn out by water cannons in the German fashion). Whereas if people don't protest, it must mean that their government is diabolical beyond Machiavellian proportions and they are living in a horrible regime amidst wide-spread famine. I guess by that logic, Nazi Germany must have been fantastically democratic, so no wonder so many fellow democratic nations take Nazi athletic traditions and play them off like they're a part of a refined, ancient culture.

“Tokyo 2020 promises to be one of the longest relays ever” they literally couldn’t have been further from the truth
Well it has been an year
@@arthurizando most city visits in creece were canceled aside from the big statium. wonder how tokyos torch goes
@@jackspedicy2711 I know
the description is the most accurate and effective one i've seen in a long time
It's always fun to read your CC
_Tokyo 2020 : The torch will be ignited with Weaboo Jutsus_
The cauldron will be a ramen bowl
Dude I can't wait for Goku to do the relay
and then Tokyo will explode
Thanks, Akira!
And from it a katana wielding animu lover jumps out
Prussian Eagle You know it's true!
Protip: If you want to extinguish it from a distance you'd better be using something like an Amerex 'high performance fast flow' model' , which has a much higher flow rate of 2 lbs/sec compared to a typical 0.5 lbs/sec
I'd say "give this man a medal" but I feel like there's an Olympic joke in there somewhere.
That's definitely something you only learn from experience.
ThioJoe Of course.
Why do you know this? lol
PixelSlayer247 cause why wouldn't he know this? Why don't YOU know this?
The flame could be under water because there was no wind underwater
This man here, he's gonna take us places.
"Tokyo 2020 promises to be one of the longest relays ever". This line aged like milk.
Oh god, I remember when the mayor of Chicago tried getting the Olympics to be in Chicago.
I can imagine what a disaster that would have been
Compatriot Maybe they would’ve been on their best behavior. Or traffic would be so congested they’d have to resort to bicycles for their drive-by’s.
Compatriot would have stolen the metals
The fire would be shot at
Come for the Olympics.
Stay because you were murdered.
Couldve been better than rio, people were forced out of their homes, the olympic buildings are sitting abandoned and rio is in dept
The Japanese flame will be kept alive by lighter wielding nano-bots and guarded by some kind of giant killer robot.
🔥🔥🔥-Chan waifu bots with Logang merch shields
The Japanese cauldron will be ignited by nuclear fire as well as their citizens
Or lit by a blast from an orbital laser cannon like in Akira.
"Oki cauldron-chan this is your time to shine"
*fire cauldron*
"N-nani"
"CAULDRON-CHAN YOU BAKA"
*pushes cauldron over*
"YAMATEEEEEEEE"
*red alert 3 intensifies*
Waiting on Tokyo 2020, in 2021 right alongside you man.
Thank you for the helpful information. I never knew about that torch being a piece of the H----r's lore. That is suprising that it was not always around
Tokyo relay: Massive plague strikes the earth to stop the Nazi Torch
Covid 19 was the good guy all along.
When Zeus himself is pissed he’s not invited to the game named after his own godamn house.
The addition of Zorba is some detail. Nice job Internet Historian.
With hindsight and the context of the video, the Tokyo 2020 bit got me good.
It’s a simple mistake...in order for the torch to receive the blessings of the gods, rather than their ire, they need to restart that non-existent tradition of *virgins* kindling the flame.
If the gods are expecting virgins...you give them virgins.
redditors are too fat
Sjws are on their keyboards at home
@@Dev_712 We're going to need to put our best ip trackers on the case and sacrifice them against their will
So, you're saying they pissed of Hestia. Well, this is pretty passive-aggressive for a smiting so that tracks.
>finding virgin women in current year
"I'd be interesting to watch out for Tokyo 2020"
Well, at least the flame can't be extinguished..
Well ye the event got extinguished tho
@DeltaGem bruh the gods are angry at us for not taking their hints to stop the torch, if wind, fire extinguishers, earthquakes, the ocean, protests, the torch not working. won't do use a virus and kill the guy who's supposed to take it.
Earth:The flame cant get out if it was never lighted
I ate a cat
Thank you so much for the closed captions. Internet Historian is the best for throwing in special jokes for the deaf.
This prophet correctly predicted the Tokyo Olympic torch relay wouldn't finish until 2021
2020: Kaiju will come out of the Pacific and attack every country the flame visits.
We can hope
Date Masamune Pacific Rim 3: Weaboo Edition
And then the fire nation attacks.

Date Masamune Then some mentally unstable kid with psychic powers is gonna level Tokyo
Ancient Greek art is something else.
*ancient greek anime
*HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Why can’t Japanese anime studios completely make Greek history? Eastern Roman Empires would work more offers.
big props to the person who made the subtitles at 1:45
I appreciate the shoutout at the end there.
Olympic flame: Tokyo 2020.
Coronavirus: Say no more.
ok
4:10 *"North Korea....... heh.. of course there were no protests in North Korea..." LMFAO*
haha, this got me good
WHO IS LMFAO!?
he works with LMBAO. watch the news.
@@rk-li9ks
Don't forget about his sister, LMAO.
So, now we know about the Chinese hacker LMFAO, how he's working with his brother, LMBAO, and they're both living with their sister, LMAO.
But what could they want?
The logic that if a people fucking hate their government and are angry all the time, it's a sign of democracy and freedom of speech, even if they end up getting arrested and pepper-sprayed into permanent blindness (or have their eyeballs torn out by water cannons in the German fashion).
Whereas if people don't protest, it must mean that their government is diabolical beyond Machiavellian proportions and they are living in a horrible regime amidst wide-spread famine.
I guess by that logic, Nazi Germany must have been fantastically democratic, so no wonder so many fellow democratic nations take Nazi athletic traditions and play them off like they're a part of a refined, ancient culture.
Those last 10 seconds destroyed me
POV: You're watching this during the Olympics 2021
Internet historian: I'm excited for the 2020 Olympics
2020: Like that's ever gonna happen

The whole 2020 happened because of Olympics, obviously. Not enough sacrifices to gods of Greece.
Man they should have made it out of netherack and it would have burned forever
Well, we haven't heard from the dude who went to the Nether last time...
I can testify that it won't burn out in the rain as well - minecraft player.
LOL, GET IT GUYS?? IT'S MINECRAFT?? DO YOU GUYS GET IT? MINECRAFT IS FUNNY!!! COME ON LAUGHT PLEASEEEE
@@J33zas look guys its the joke inspector,better give an good impression
@@J33zas thats a reddit moment if ive ever seen one
Yeah I remember the Sochi Olympics being particularly chaotic, specifically stories about plumbing in the village and watching some of mechanical mishaps in the opening ceremony.
