I know that 2020 has been a rough year for a lot of people - there’s nothing anyone can do to change that. But now there’s a whole year full of potential ahead of us. You can turn that potential into anything you want. Life is what you make of it; choose to make it happy!
I had the chance to perform this live for my school. I love your rendition!
Is there a chance of us ever getting an extended edition with the missing verse, or perhaps even the encore too? Something like this version? czcams.com/video/hlTisI_HSgw/video.html
Either way, keep up the good work!
Finally, a man of culture who knows Gilbert and Sullivan . Well done, I loved the video!
indeed
The Major General's Song is one of the most famous songs in musical theatre, it's been in everything from Muppets to Family Guy
@@TheHorseOutside to veggie tails
To Animaniacs… twice
You can tell that you might be a Gilbert and Sullivan fan when your first thought is "they missed a verse!"
Lol. That's why I hate the film version of the pirates of penzance, they make so many abysmal cuts that can range from removing mere seconds from a song, to removing an entire song. I just watch the stage version whenever I want to watch papp's pirates
WW1 officers ordering their men to charge across mustard gas and barbed wire while their own artillery accidentally blows them to pieces and German machine gunners pick off anyone left standing be like:
I understand the joke, but in ww1 and 2 the British officers would fight alongside the regular solders, in officer dress and all
*BUT STILL IN MATTERS VEGETABLE, ANIMAL AND MINERAL I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR GENERAL*
Both the Entente and Central Powers were dealt a large dose of reality when World War 1 started. The thing was that up until that point the major powers of Europe had spent most of their time fighting inferior opponents for decades. The last few times two major powers fought, the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, those conflicts were over in under a year and were clear cut victories. And technology was advancing so quickly while tactics still remained stuck in the 19th century, one huge factor to why so many casualties were caused in the early months of the war. As much as Field Marshal Haig gets rightly deserved hate for the Somme and Passchendaele, his German and French counterparts sent plenty of their soldiers to get slaughtered in futile offensives that they believed would break the stalemate.
If you want to look up two of the largest failures as generals during that war look up Austrian Field Marshal Conrad von Hötzendorf and Italian General Luigi Cadorna. You can chalk up a huge amount their countries' casualties to their ignorant decisions.
@@theholyvector Only because they died alongside their men in a dumb, suicidal charge doesn't make their decision any less dumb or suicidal. Japanese officers also died in banzai charges, doesn't make them any less stupid.
It's excusable because the last major European war before WW1 was the Napoleonic Wars. They weren't used to the new advanced technology, tactics, nations, ect. If WW3 starts, it will be the exact same thing, WW2 was over 76 years ago.
1:37 I love that he even got a Monty python reference in there to top it off, all round great video.
The reference is the Killer Bunny.
oh god britian is doing it again
I love how the general knows everything besides war
Average British general
@@an000n *Laughs in tea strategy*
Thats the joke
2:19 What about this part?
Or this part? 2:48
Although to be fair he's probably speaking of studying tactics and military history instead of actual experience
Every single British officer before ww1:
Colonel Burnaby
@@bigmoniesponge Wellington and John Moore intensifies
And after.
we still managed to conquer 1/4 of the world
But... he doesn't have shoulders...
and they don't have hands to be able to hold guns, what's your point lol
@@theraginginfernape9496 magic of balls I guess, not everything have to be realistic, HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IF POLANDBALLS HAVE legs, bodies, arms, and mouths? Actual tumblr craps
They're fucking alive balls what to expect them to do? Make sense?
@@sharkronical That is countryhumans my friend
@@sharkronical
please,
*HELL NO.*
I love UKball in this, it's hilarious
I’ve always wondered why he’s bragging about his knowledge of vegetables. I guess he’s into biology because of his knowledge of animals, and it would make sense he would dabble in botany because of that. But why vegetables? It’s so specific.
Maybe it was a gentlemany trend to be vegetarian?
I know that mediteranean diets were seen as fancy.
I know it became gentlemany about that time to sit down at a table full of food and only grab yourself something small, showed that expensive food for you wasn't a luxury or something like that.
Being slick also became fashionable, where before it was a sign of wealth to be fat, by then every middle class commoner could afford to eat enough to become fat, so that fell out of trend.
@@daniels_0399 I guess that makes sense, but he says he “has information vegetable, animal, and mineral”, and not “I’m a vegetarian”. Also, he’s never portrayed as a very thin guy in any of the clips I’ve seen of this song performed by people.
Thanks for the interesting history on dietary fashion though.
@@jeffjefferson5095 Animal, Vegetable and mineral were the three categories we used to sort everything in nature into. If it was alive/used to be alive it was either animal or vegetable (vegetation, as in plants), and if it wasn't alive (rock, iron, diamond) it was mineral. People still use these categories sometimes when playing party games, but otherwise, the list used today is very different (E.G Fungai now has its own category, as do many microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and amoebas).
Because the most efficient use of hierarchy was for them to be acting governors. Not field comanders.
Also, foraging for food to keep supply lines shorter.
Yoooooo youtube actually put one of your vids on my recommended less than two weeks after posting for once!
It's hilarious watching the transcript try to keep up with the lyrics! 😆
Love how Jamaica is high in the background
Scotland in here is James Paul Jones.
Based
on what?
Now do "He is an Englishman", or maybe something from Princess Ida!
is this a history channel plus a Gilbert and Sullivan channel? i'm in HEAVEN
I NEED TUTORIAL HOW TO UNITE GERMANY WITHOUT GETTING PROBLEMS IN VICTORIA 2
1. Wait for Hanover to leave British Sphere (They do that automatically by 1840 or so)
2. Take your Cores from Denmark & free/Sphere Holstein
3/4 Take your Cores from France or fight Austria for Hegemony (you get the Casus Belli with Nationalism & Imperialism I think)
If you have Problems fighting Great Powers I'd suggest looking at at Army Composition, Military Technology and getting yourself some loyal Allies (Britain, Italy, maybe even Russia). Fighting on the Defense is also often more convenient.
@@alexdreFalke ok thanks but only one thing when i need to attack just to know
@@creeperball3367 You should attack when you feel stronger than your enemy. You can compare your number of Regiments & Military Technologies in the Diplomacy tab. Whenever you feel like your alliance is able to beat your enemy's, that's when you should attack.
In my first real playthrough for example, I beat France 2 years into the game, so I suppose you could do that too. (Expect them to return for their core provinced though)
@@alexdreFalke i remember i formed just germany not german empire
@@creeperball3367 So through Rebels? Not sure if you still have cores on the Imperial Land, but if you want to form the German Empire you'll probably need to restart
This is possibly my favourite video on CZcams
I wish I could set things up where I'd sing something and everyone around me had to sing it back in chorus.
Great video, but it lacks an American scientist in orange armor firing at soldiers with an SMG
Yes
WHERE'S MY CHORUS???
*Confused unga bunga*
This is exactly what I needed, thank you! :)
So, if I get the joke, he knows everything except what is relevant to his job
Ah yes, the gaming tutorial channel is doing music lol
3:10 The only man that's could challenge Eminem's
i personally never agreed with the social critique of this piece. i'd much prefer a high ranking officer know history, tactics, math, logistics, than have combat ability.
If you are a general like Eisenhower then yeah all that’s good but if you are like Patton than I would definitely want you to have some combat ability
Huh im getting a salarian vibe hmmmmm.
OMG its the SPIFFING BRIT!
I remember this one from the mickey three musketeers movie
I love this. Would you ever consider doing something from The Mikado?
You got your wish!
Is this a anglosphere music video?
I just have one question why is somalia there
pirates.
Somalia was also ruled by the British.
I LOVE THIS MUSICAL
Guys I think he is the very model of a Modern major general
What is the shortened because I remember stuff out frogs and paradoxes
America with pink cat eye sunglasses is the most cursed thing I've seen from this channel.
Bruh high Jamaica LOL
The Pirates of Penzance is way better in Poland Ball!
That's because major generals were supposed to be acting governors, not tacticians.
Do HMS Pinafore’s entire score!
Salutes Great Britania!
this was interesting
This version omits the second stanza of the song.
The fact that Ireland wasn't even present is just wrong
Can’t wait for the Skrillex remix.
Nice reference to Monty Python with the Rabbit of Caerbannog.
I memorized this a while ago because why not. It took me about a day to memorize it but a week to keep rythm.
With people like him or Sir Joseph in charge, I don't understand how the British Empire managed to conquer such many land.
So else was singing along?
So the one thing he can't do is not order his men to rush the Russian canons and hope it works.
That was the source of Let Me Explain Studios on her song "I am a very model of a CZcams Individual". And also Animaniacs's too!
Except all the characters are the children of a major general
Great channel :)
Montey python the holy grail
Iff I was scotland I would've held the general captive for more money
Honestly i prefer musicals with jazz music.
It's better at 2x speed
Did any of you ever watch the veggie tails episode that had this song?
Yeha. I completely forget the lyrics but I did remember the rhythm, it was the asparagus guy singing it right?
@@oscarwind4266 yeah

rap god
I wonder what song would be if He was american model modern general
scotland will be free SCOTLAND FOREVER
0:53 3:13 two things did one person who can beat Eminem
when did we own canada?
We as in the British?
we literally created Canada, the Canadian national flag was the union jack until 1965 and king Charles III is still the king of Canada.
France....
Is this a west wing reference?
It's a song from Pirates of Penzance.
