i hope as the series progresses the professor just gets bigger and bigger until shane can actually just wear the puppet like a costume
Genius!!!!!!!
Just turn him into a mascot costume.
Big Bird sized Professor
That some real “don’t hug me I’m scared” vibes right there and I’m very here for it😂😂
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!!
If they keep the professor as a larger puppet, I hope they progressively make him bigger over time until he's just Shane in a blue man fur suit and becomes an absolute nightmare
This is the best idea I’ve heard in a LONG time! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Then Ryan’s blue man group dream will be partially realized!
that’s funny as fuck i rly hope they do this
I wish for this every day
This is the funniest thing and I'm going to pray daily it becomes a reality
Young Steven looks exactly what you’d imagine a clarinet player to look like
He just looks like current Steven in lower case
Steven didn’t play sax because playing clarinet was a canon event and no one could interfere
Hes absolutely adorable!
i think this proves time travel is real. no way his childhood wasn’t someone going back and trying to kill the child version of sax so the saxophone wasn’t created and finding out that, and i can’t believe i’m saying this, the creation of the saxophone is truely a canon event and cannot be altered.
As an extension a god or a higher being was like.
"No! This is a cannon event."
oh my god it was a saxocannon event. saxocannonical fjendnfn
@@plushdragonteddy holy shit it’s saxocanonical
also while I love this idea there are a ton of really nasty people who did awful things who escaped death on several occasions also 🤣
I'm starting to think time travelers were gunning for the wrong Adolph
who would’ve thought that allowing ryan, shane, and steven the creative freedom of running their own company would mean we get ryan drumming his belly button at a puppet
Actually I think that might’ve been one of the few predictable outcomes 😂
Canon event right there
i mean.... he did the same thing to seduce ghosts in one of the last sessons of BUN Supernatural so i guess he always has that dog in him
Were those all the “accidents” in his youth?
Honestly feels on brand for Ryan and good for him.
Renaming the coveted cup and title is like how hotels just renovate and rebrand after someone is horrifically murdered in one of their rooms
Ssshhhh, the “Stay On Main” will hear you!
YIKES
Fun fact(or maybe not as fun?): Adolphe Sax outlived his siblings, despite his own parents thinking he'd die at a young age. Another fun nickname for him was "Sax, the Little Ghost", because he was in so many situations that should have killed him, but didn't.
Another one that should have killed him: he slowly suffocated in a recently varnished room because he was sleeping in it. He lived, of course, but its still nutty!
Oh, and for those keeping track, Adolphe Sax died at the age of 79 in 1894. Life expectancy circa 1891 was 61. So he also beat that out too.
My 4 month old was crying and suddenly stopped when I turned on puppet history.
The professor is baby approved
High praise!
Maybe they should have Oscar guest star for an episode. I'd say Elmo, but the topics aren't very PG.
@@christinaknapp1980Bert
Honestly, if they weren't so foul-mouthed, Puppet History would be an amazing kids show. Like an actual quality counterpoint to the CZcams Kids content you see all over the place.
As a belgian, we used to joke that a bunch of time travelers went back in time to try and avoid the saxophone being invented... multiple times.
Omg I love that so much LOL
We made that joke on tumblr and Reddit too all the times this story went viral
you really hate careless whisper that much? 😂
The saxophone being popularized is a Canon event
@@weakanklesfornamjoonthe saxophone was specifically invented so that careless whisper could exist
This channel is a heavy hitter. They've got so many weapons in their arsenal. Ghost Files, Puppet History, Too Many Spirits, Are You Scared, Dish Granted, Worth A Shot, Mystery Files and much more. This channel is strong.
With the Force.
Top 5 beat down
@@Icelolly5382my fave!
Weird Wonderful World! Just two buddies visiting places and being delighted at everything
they’re my absolute favorites, they do the things that bring out the best versions of themselves
I’d really like to see Shane as one of the guests this season.
tbh it's kind of weird they haven't had him on the show yet
The professor and Shane in the same show would team up against ryan. It would be so chaotic….I hope it happens soon
Y’all forget about when the professor was gone and his hologram came back. Shane was trying to hire people to replace the professor. And they do have a scene together. BRIEFLY! But one could still argue that isn’t the case I guess because it was that nasty hologram
And Shane knows the answer to every single question somehow
"I'm thankful for my haters" god this aged so poorly
Rhett & Link as guests on this would be absolute gold
🤩 Yes please!
wow was just thinking that too hell yeah
It would be...mythical
Im just imagining them both in the other chair, competing as one person against Ryan
They have to sit in one chair though.
Love tuning into a new episode of “what Shane hyperfixated on this week”
😂
Puppet History really does feel like "We let Shane do his thing for a couple weeks and just showed up when he asked us to"
@@theirishninjasanimations he’s just putting on a little show
What does Shane have to do with this? He wasnt even in this episode? Lol
As a professional saxophonist, I have never been more excited to see the title of a video. SO glad to have the professor back
I’m curious, is the saxophone used in orchestras or is this an ironic situation where something is designed for one thing and never used for it?
@@fruitbythefoote as a saxophone player, i have never found an orchestra with a saxophone section :[ but they definitely show up in symphonic bands and jazz (my personal favorite to play and hear)
Ryan's so embarrassed to play his bellybutton a 3rd time, as if he didn't bring it upon himself. 😂
Shane has a clear improvement in puppetry. The fluid and motion the professor now has is so enchanting.
The Professor’s new size *definitely* helps with that.
Having the bigger arm puppet and genuine training has definitely paid off! I'm so delighted!!
He’s a legit good puppeteer.
the professor puppet is actually made by DLUX Puppets, they are listed in the credits at the end of the episode!
It’s great to see Ryan and the professor finally getting along, maybe in this ground breaking season even Shane Madej will get to be a guest.
they need to have the dinosaurs sub in for the professor one day so he can be a guest
Shane is banned from puppet history after the... Incident
That kind of thing seems like it's right up his alley. He's a very creative dude so I wouldn't count that out.
Omg I just made a similar comment! Here's to hoping to see the battle of the history buffs
I don't know, that genie looked a little suspicious.....
I have missed Ryan, Shane, AND Steven all together! I need more of it!!!
Who’s Shane? It’s just the professor 😊
SAME
Yeah same, ding dang shame that Shane isn't in this one :/ maybe some day soon though!
Yeah I'm so happy that they have the Watcher Podcast now it's great to see them all together
I just want to say, having a full arm puppet version of The Professor clearly allows for some proper puppet training to be on display. The flip-topping and rapid word-biting present with the original glove puppet version gradually went away after season one, but this truly shows the dedication to doing the puppet part of this Puppet History show some true respect, and i admire it greatly. Thank you so much for these wonderful and fun changes! I cant wait to see what more is in store!!
i miss the tiny ones face tho it was better
I'm so torn because 100% the larger puppet is such a wonderful piece of craftsmanship and really allows more freedom in how it's used. And I may be reading too much into this, but to me the extra resources and effort in making a whole new puppet not only says they plan on keeping puppet history as a staple show for the foreseeable future (which is great because it is my favourite of their shows) but gives me a vibe that Shane is really enjoying making it and that makes me very happy.
But on the other hand, the smaller puppet had a certain charm in its simplicity and I always enjoyed a fourth wall break when Shane's arms or other hand had to be visible or when the puppet had to do something clearly more complex than it was made for. I think there's always something that's lost a bit in things like this as they become more polished.
@@bishielurfer I miss his cute lil outfit.
"I was warning you about the dangers of a pandemic"
"And I laughed at it"
"YEAH YOU DID, YA PIECE OF SHIT"
Not even 2 minutes in and already The Professor craves violence
Some things aren’t gonna change
He had some wild energy in the first part 😂
Fun fact: if you listen closely during the section where The Professor is talking about the various ways Adolphe almost died as a child, the instrumental from Death’s song is playing in the background
The LAYERS of this show are incredible
Good ear!! 😲
Shane Madej you clever bastard
To all my lazy people, I got you 9:07
and the guests are the same from that ep...i feel like this means something
As a saxophone player, I can tell you we always play too loud in honor of Adolphe Sax
Every time Ryan makes bellybutton noises, it's giving "is mayonnaise an instrument?" 😂
I was almost late to my own wedding because I wanted to watch this when it dropped. So excited for Puppet History to be back!! 💜
Congratulations!!
Congratulations on the wedding!
Congrats!
I'm glad you weren't late!
I can't imagine saying to my partner, "Sorry I was late hon. I was busy watching a little blue puppet explain the history of the saxophone, while a grown man drummed on his belly button for him. Very important stuff you see."
@@tarakennedy2512 Thank you!!
@@immabethehero1486 Thank you so much!!
the professor gives real muppet vibes now that he's big, and i kind of love it
I miss tiny Profressor
Why did he get bigger?
he’s getting more powerful
@@Ali-mv3jcI assumed they switched the puppets because the old one was a mass-produced product and they wanted a more handmade one for branding reasons.
@@Ali-mv3jc someone asked Shane on Twitter a while ago and he said he wanted to get a bigger puppet lmao
I'd like to give special shoutouts to the thumbnail for this episode. That image of the Professor with a saxophone right above the words "Unkilllable Weirdo" has an indescribably chaotic energy.
Its an episode like this where it just like you can see the jock, theater kid, and band kid in all of them in the worst (best) possible ways. Glad that this season has started off with a certified banger. Love me some fuzzy history!
lowkey miss the old professor puppet 😢 there was a funny element to how inexpressive he was (without the eyebrows) and i loved his lil hat. happy to have puppet history back nonetheless!
Same! The old professor‘s fur looked softer to pet 🥹
Big same!! He was so small, and his tiny satchel?! aww. Miss it.
If I recall, the original was a base puppet that Shane modified, with doll clothes he bought, so this might be a move to have a more "distinctive" look. On the other hand, those Professor plushies are selling like hotcakes, they're still using the OG puppet for visuals, and it's likely hologram prof is coming back, so it's possible that the old puppet will still show up. Third point: Yes change is jarring but don't forget someone at Watcher either designed or made this new one, and we just watched a whole episode about a guy getting flak for making something new.
SAME :(
@@Whatlanderoh shit, that’s a good point. somehow i missed the entire point.
"Is it integral that you do that face?"
The face helps with the acoustics. Every professional belly button musician knows this 😝🤣🤣🤣
@@krakenkitty😅😅
Garrett & Joyce are a top tier duo
THIS!!!!!
When do you hear them?
@@fatherramen475 at 40:31! they voice the professor's parents :)
EVERY TIME JOYCE SAYS SOMETHING AS THE MOM DINOSAUR I REMEMBER ITS HER AND I DIE LAUGHING BC SHES SO FUNNY
Starting off with a new professor and the three founders?? My heart is whole, Watcher is truly a blessing to the world.
Listening to all the ways Adolphe Sax almost died as a kid kinda leaves me thinking the universe really did not want the saxophone invented for some reason.
Or really did seeing as he kept surviving
@@NiceDonkey3417my thoughts exactly. It makes me believe that he was an incredibly dumb kid (like most), but some divine power really wanted him to stay alive, so they had to somehow help him survive his stupidity.
The invention of the saxophone must’ve directly led to the birth of Hitler or something.
@@theonionqueen3519 true that is another relatively well-known adolf
@@rafansyed8420The universe knew a fella named adolph was gonna be a problem, but gunned for the wrong one.
I was not expecting this to drop without a trailer. Great to see the REAL Professor back and better than ever, and that toxic coveted Cup of the History Master be replaced by the surely much less problematic Cap of the History Wizard. I can't wait to see what's in store.
Yeah, that definitely won't lead to anything.
I love the new look.
I'm also surprised there wasn't a trailer this time.
The cap is much better.
There was a trailer on Twitter
the professor calling ryan his best friend was the cutest thing ever for me 🥺
As a saxophone player and music teacher I’ve never been so excited for for a puppet history!
Sadly the saxophone still isn’t widely used in orchestras today, people still look down on the instrument.
Nowadays it is so firmly cemented into jazz I'm not sure it will ever escape.
Lol I was a French horn player back in my high school days. We had two sax players (small school) and one was fairly good for a teen. The instrument sounded pretty smooth and silky. The other player made me hate the sax. Sounded like a goose in a meat grinder. Honk honk squeak honk.
Sax players unite!
I wonder if that might just partially be because of the lack of orchestral pieces that have sax parts--considering it's relatively new invention, and also the historical marginalization of it. So we need to write more orchestral music with sax parts!!
@@Mimi-cq4bgsounds like you went to the same school as me… sorry for the bad sax playing 😂
My wife and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage today and this is the perfect surprise gift. Thanks Watcher crew!
Happy anniversary
@@moonbook12 thank you very much. 😁
@@nopartyleftthatsworthit4330 you're welcome:)
Aww have a nice day! (Or night depending on where you live)
Happy anniversary!!
Wow I’m sure nothing bad will happen in that unsupervised dumpster containing the smashed algorithm machine and the broken hologram box. Can’t wait for a normal season with no lore!
Yes everything will be normal and fine this lovely season
Manifesting no lore rn 🙏
My immediate thought as well 😂
DoN't WoRrY aBoUt It! It'S fInE🤖
Please be careful and don't THROW US OUT OF STAFF >:(
I would love to see a behind the scene video of what Shane is doing behind the set of PH. Kinda like 'debrief' but just the whole episode from Shane's pov
thiiis!!! and inclusion of his songwriting process too it seems fun
What the hell are you talking about
If I remember correctly there is a video on the channel from when Shane was making the set and he shows a bit how it looks from his side of things. It's a little older so they've probably smoothed things out a bit but at the time it looked pretty cramped 😅
y'know what? with the amount of saxophone players i know and now learning about the history of the instrument's creator, i feel like it isnt too far off to say that the spirit of sax possesses whoever plays his creation. that just makes sense to me
Stephen describing his younger self as an anxious creature hit home
It was very endearing, I understand Steven
Sameeee
He's just like me fr
I think anxiety is part of a sensitive and creative temperament. When channeled in adulthood, the anxiety of our younger selves is unleashed into tremendous creative energy.
@@davidgadd9163 Nah, mine's still just anxiety lol
Golly, I sure am excited for a totally normal, no lore season of puppet history!
Yeah I doubt anything crazy is going to happen at all; phew! 😊
@@lornarettig3215 Yeah! Who cares where that hologram professor got to! Maybe he's on vacation!
@@autumnsfablekeeper4419 we can certainly rest easy knowing nothing will happen with the complex algorithm machine tossed out with the hologram box
@@johanvajse8410 Sure! It'S aLl GoNa Be FiNe!
i was worried it would take me a long time to get used to the new professor bc i rewatch puppet history like crazy, but i think his new size and design really lends to the theatrics of everything and makes him come alive more. I do however, want the hat back
I can't believe that I only just noticed that during the description of the final destination loop they have death's song from the black death episode playing in the background. Absolute perfection, amazing attention to detail.
As a bass clarinet player and someone who dealt with a few egotistical saxophonists, I deeply felt this lesson.
As a fellow bass clarinetist I relate deeply
Fun fact: he invented the current iteration of the bass clarinet
I commented that before watching^
He also invented the modern euphonium so I feel this as well
BASS CLARINET FAMILY!
I assumed Adolphe's frequent brushes with death were going to be illness related. Imagine being caught in an explosion as a child and being able to say, "It's cool, I've already been in a coma and been poisoned four times."
What apocalypse is going to trace its origins back to the invention of the saxophone?
And he died at almost 80 to just Pneumonia...which compared to his life...was like nothing
@@demonangel918 That be like surviving a bombing, and then later on in life dieing from a bad sinus infection.
I played saxophone all through school until college and me and my section mates would often joke about all the stuff that happened to Adolfe Sax by saying "someone really didn't want this thing invented"
"Band kids are feral" Something only a former band kid would say, and as a former band kid, I agree xD
Also, once again, I must affirm that Shane deserves a fucking Emmy for this show.
As a saxophonist, I can say that we worship Sax as a god like figure, and we meet every week in order to create a pentagram and summon his essence, so we can be blessed with the saxophone skills.
my best friend plays saxophone and this explains a lot about them ngl
I also play the saxophone and can confirm 😄
and the kissing skills apparently!
Don't spill our secrets!
I assume based on what I've heard about him that he shouts at you that you're playing the saxophone wrong.
heLLO it’s unhealthy how emotionally attached i am to this fuzzy little blue puppet
Literally same 😂
same 😭
Yeah, me too 😂
No literally same 😂
Same...as long as he's the good version. Now he's bigger and by extension possibly more dangerous if he turns. I mean, look what the little version did to Ryan.
personally as an educator I appreciate the professor’s new more equitable pedagogical philosophy
I wonder if it will last.
As someone who studied composition, that song at the end about the failed prototype was so damn good. I can't deal with how good it is.
YESSSS
“Band kids are feral” is one of the most accurate statements I have EVER heard!! 😂
Maybe that's why I quit band. Not nearly feral enough.
Who's more feral, though: thespians or band kids?
@@LittleMissLounge In my experience, band kids. Had a band kid friend who screamed my name before giving me a running tackle hug. The theater kids were more under the surface feral. It really didn't come out until they were on stage. Both groups were stupid horny though.
Not gonnna lie, Steven looks like a clarinet player. And when his pic of him with the clarinet showed up it was undeniable, he looks like what you'd expect a guy playing a clarinet to look like.
I think Shane looks like someone who would play the flute or those drums. Ryan would probably be those guys that walks around with a guitar everywhere he goes lol
Absolutely. 😂
The whole thing with the tumor on Sax's lip was so interesting. My mom would tell basically anyone she knew who had cancer (which was, unfortunately, a hell of a lot of people) to try this particular tea along with their normal treatment. Weirdly, she had a lot of anecdotal evidence that it may have helped.
I have truly no idea how that would even be possible or what the science behind it would be if it were a real thing, but hearing about Sax's tumor going away was like a flashback to my mom buying this tea for my aunt. Shit's wild.
Well shoot don't be shy drop the recipe/what type of tea
@@kanarules777 frrr, pls
I'm really curious about that too. I'm wondering if what Sax had was not a cancerous tumor in the way that we would define it today, but instead some kind of giant cyst, hence why the herbal remedy worked so well. (That, and western "medicine treatments" in the mid-1800's was....... hit-or-miss to put it lightly)
@@MissPuppy468 yeah, I wonder about that, too (being a cyst, that is). I don't really know what kind of herbal remedies could actually help with that, but it's interesting to think about the potential science of it, providing it's real. It might have been some mixture of natural anti-inflammatories that helped his immune system to fight it off on its own or something.
Either way, I gotta stand by my initial assessment: shit's wild.
@kanarules777 @caitlynramdat8978 I asked my mom, and it's called essiac tea. I looked it up, and it seems like you can get it from a bunch of different places; back in the day, there was exactly one website you could buy it from which was run by the lady who created it. The patent must have expired.
Again, don't know if it's legit, but the survival rate of people she gave it to was encouraging. I also remember that the original had very specific instructions for brewing it. You had to do it in large batches and you couldn't use any plastic or wooden utensils or any coated pots/pans; it had to be stainless steel or I think ceramic??? And same with the container you stored it in- no plastic, just glass or ceramic. Why that would matter, I can't say, but just an FYI if you're going to try it.
As a band kid, all the way from elementary school through college, this Puppet History really warms my heart. I love the band kid energy from Steven as well
Steven Lim apologizing for ignoring the teachings of Professor last time he was here, was honestly S tier content. Instantly hit the like button already.
ok
Fully choosing to believe all the incidents from his childhood was one of the people in his hate club learning how to travel back in time specifically to mess with him until he can’t make the saxophone.
Honestly that makes sense in a bizzare way.
Woah 🤯
I literally spent ten minutes at the grocery store gushing to my mum about how excited I am that this show isn't over 😂
have to say, this is one of the more chaotic episodes of this show, which is really saying something. 10/10 amazing work everyone
I initially read this video's title as "The Unlikeable Weirdo Who Invented The Saxophone" and thought to myself, "Yeah saxophonist, that probably checks out." I'm standing behind my dyslexia's correctness on this one.
Well. Didn’t realize I’d read it wrong until I saw this and had to do a triple take to figure out how your interpretation was incorrect.
Ok so we all read it wrong the first couple times. It took this comment for me to see that the title said unkillable not unlikeable
It took me reading this comment to go back and read unkillable and not unlikeable. I was reading thru and was like “but it is unlikeable” then it wasn’t at all.
I double checked the title after reading this comment-
at first I thought you were trippin... but it was me
I read a post on Tumblr about this guy's almost-deaths, and someone theorised that they were all masterminded by a time traveller who hated the saxophone.
Anyone else imagine a montage of his near ends with Who Can It Be Now by Men at Work playing?
@@oceanoflotion8630they had yet to realize that they cant change the pasts outcome, no matter how hard they tried
Ok but what if the guys from Association of United Instrument Makers were the ones to figure out time travel just to get rid of this guy and even then they fail
That would be some doofenshmirtz kind of suff (and I choose to believe it's canon now)
I would like to believe that each near-death was contrived by different iterations of time travelers, and truly did kill Sax, but then, groups of time travelers from the horrible futures caused by the lack of Sax went back in time to ensure his death never happened, again... and again... and again.
"Pissing in fountains" being so throwaway but wistful made me laugh until it hurt.
I gotta admit that I avoided this series thinking a puppet show for adults seemed odd, to say the least, but I'm glad I decided to check it out. Immediately recognizing Shane was the madman behind the puppet got me interested, and turns out he's actually insanely good at it. Looking up at the ceiling and putting his little foot out there, fucking hilarious. That song was also extremely well produced, which was certainly unexpected, but hats off to the team, it was pretty glorious.
It’s so sad to me that in order to get Ryan and Professor’s friendship we had to trade Ryan and Shane’s friendship.
What do you mean?
@@samanthahudzik6219 it's a running joke from mystery files debrief
@@missfuneralsong
The end of a beautiful friendship is NO JOKE
@@samanthahudzik6219the professor took over
That’s what happened 😂
Never thought I would be treating my insomnia by watching a belly button recital.
It would be fire to see Ryan play his navel while bellydancers back up dance.
Read this as he literally started tapping his lil belly button 😂😂😂😂❤
You just described me rn 😅😂
3:03 am here....same bro😂
*raises hand*
I feel like Ryan realized the process the second time he 1. walked very close to the puppet 2. lifted his shirt 3. finger tapped his belly button
lmfao😂
I cannot give enough credit to Shane for making songs in this show
I know the fake Peofessors murderous ballad by heart and the hippo song i go back to often
And Hapshetsut! Amazing
Damn I guess the professor wasn’t the only unkillable weirdo
I mean to be fair the Professor very much did die like I get what you‘re saying but that‘s definitely a thing what happened
I read the title as the "Unlikeable" Weirdo and I was like damn, what'd he do to get roasted before the video even starts.
He created the saxophone 😂
-Band joke, we like to drag each other
I read it as that to and I was like I hate him too
same lmao
I told my mom interesting saxophone facts and then she asked where I learned them. I told her about this video and told me to send it to her. Um completely forgot about the lore and the song at the end. I hope she doesn’t think this is too weird omg.
Ha ha ha, wow... I really appreciate the fact you guys don't mind swearing. I swear that little, "what the fuck!" when the sax is unveiled had me in stiches.
this is such a small lil detail but the way they’ve changed the background of the stage to be a closer color to the popsicle sticks The Professor uses to tell his plays is so cute and so thoughtful
It seems almost like green screen sticks, I can barely see them even when I look really closely. I like the chance though
As a fellow saxophone player who frequently sustained some moderate head trauma in his youth, I am proud to carry on this legacy of weirdness
Same here, must be a connection between enjoying the sax and getting brain injuries
hey me too! weird curse of the sax I guess
ok, I need details from all of you. What happened?!
@@autumnsfablekeeper4419 I was just a very stupid kid and also in hockey LMAO, a lot of head injuries happened
@@polyesterbees Ah, hockey. Say no more!
42:37 the professor said “vaya con dios” which means “go with God” which most Hispanic parents say at you when you leave somewhere, god i love this show
The synergy of these three is so fun. What a trio!
being murdered really changed the Professor's entire worldview lol
Ryan's attitude about his lack of self-confidence is the most relatable thing I've heard all week
I love him 😭
I've been watching Shane and Ryan for years and this is my first puppet history, why didn't I watch these sooner? 😭
If you guys do a debrief type thing and take questions about this show, I have one for Shane: how hard is it to sing off key intentionally? I’ve heard you sing well and was very surprised at how well you pulled off Instrument Prototype 73’s “horrible sound” haha. As a relatively new fan of Ryan and Shane, I love all the shows and can’t wait for more every single time. I need this to go on forever haha
Sax suffering brain damage as a child makes entirely too much sense.
As a puppeteer- I’m so inlove with the professors new look!! Madison did a incredible job(assuming it was her since she’s done the rest of the builds!) !! Hopefully one day the proff will get arm rods and be able to interact with the world more
I too want to see the Professor Muppetized :)
according to the description, it was made by a company called dlux puppets!! they make puppet theater shows
SPEAK NOW PROFESSORS VERSION oh my god the subtitles at the beginning are killing me
I can't believe the Professor is almost touching the top of the stage 😭
Adolphe Sax also invented the modern euphonium and tuba. That thing Ryan said about the bell pointing up is actually correct. He also made some of them with the bell pointing backwards so the army could hear it while marching. The brass instruments he made were called saxhorns and they’re pretty much all of the instruments in the modern American marching band.
Damn! Thanks for the added info!
this guy was a music making badass fr omg
The guy really did account for a lot of factors when making them
I’m a euphoniumist and just happy to be included 😂
Steven has the air of a parent who is doing his best to be supportive and I'm here for it.
I want a History Wizard hat...
And I am also totally unconcerned about the improper disposal of the old algorithm machine and hologram box! So glad that it was taken care of and we don't have to worry about that! :D
i don’t think there’s any insult more metal than “there is nothing of value i would steal from you in war”. thanks lim!
I thoroughly enjoy when all 3 Watcher founders are together, pure chaos ensues 😂😂😂 please more Steven content! 🙏🏽
This is the fastest I’ve clicked on a video in a while
I know, I love the three of them together and not just on watcher weekly. Ryan and Shane sort of merge their personalities into one and then torment Steven who is always such a good sport.
Steven Lim being the emotionally distraught bartender is one of my favorite performances ever. ❤️
What do you mean, Shane wasn’t there🌚
Also I love that the convo in the episode implies that the 3 founders of Watcher are Ryan, Steven and The Professor, rather than Ryan, Steven and Shane as it is commonly believed. XD
The wordplay in this tiny puppet theater hit another stage 🥹
So happy the professor is back for another season of learning!
Thank you thank you thank you for the next chapter!
Shane's songwriting skills are just phenomenal! You really should win a Grammy my dude 💥
his early childhood just sounds like two deities fighting over whether the sax should be invented
Yes, yes, he's bigger. But does he still have a perfect score on wikifeet?
Askin' the real questions
Yay! New Puppet History with Steven! I hope Kate gets a new episode this season. She wasn't in the last one, which is probably for the best. I still don't think anyone told her about The Professor dying.
It would’ve broke her heart 😊
I literally want it to be like she never knew what happened and was like hey professor you look different.
@@MissSavannie Like replacing a child's dead goldfish with a completely new fish and pretending it's the same.
Also, because hologram-Professor rigged last season so Ryan would win each time, Kate has never lost yet! It's totally for the best, even if we missed her. But yes hopefully she returns this season to the new and improved (and alive) Professor!
Adolphe Sax’s ever increasing list of injuries has me nigh convinced he’s a BitLife character made real.
Shane I am loving your puppetry skills! You’ve improved so much over the seasons and with this bigger professor the freedom of movement really compliments it!!
Finally my burning desire to know about the Saxaphone without doing my own research- is paying off. Thank God for the scary puppet demon
Ryan and Shane's belly button fetish rears its cursed head yet again
I love the fact that while The Professor is talking about how child-Sax kept almost being murdered, the music in the background is Death’s song from the black plague video.
I love everything Ryan and Shane do but I’m low key wishing the old professor would at least be placed somewhere near stage so we can see him 😢 this show got me through some really really tough time and I really appreciate it
