the professor’s facial expression never changes but i swear i saw pure rage when the avatar film was mentioned LMAO
And for good reason imo
hush my amigo we do not speak of the movie
@@sharmbanu9862 amen to that 😂
Dudes I swear prof says fkin under his breathe lol
Ryan was lucky he wasn't in the same room
The professor’s disappointment in them not watching ATLA is a whole ass mood
"oh, the movie right?" the movie all we fans insist on pretending doesn't exist LMAO
@@brittg9987 And the glare he gave while starting to curse Ryan out under his breath too.
especially when you immediately think "oh duh like the avatar" after he explained how the stool works.... but in this moment i feel more like the teachers pet (puppet) than i ever have before
Yeah and the connection to the stool 😂 having the memories of their past lives and what not
As soon as they said no I was like UNCULTURED SWINES!!! And then the Professor agreed with me
the unadulterated comedy of the discomfort in Shane's voice trying to talk his way out of the puppet sex conversation he accidentally honked his way into
HONKED HIS WAY INTO
Welp that sound effect will never be the same for me now
@@Tazzie1312 ASHJBD HAHAHA
GHFGJHF
I feel so scandalized
I love when Kate is on the show, her bubbly energy is the perfect match for Ryan's ever-growing disdain for the Professor's (alleged) bullshit, and Kate just seems to bring the silly out of Ryan and the Professor. Like two chucklefucks in the back of the class, but the teacher actually likes them.
ALLEGED!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Chucklefucks” oh how lovely
that made me cry???
I love Kate! She's the best part😁. Always makes me smile
Kate is hilarious and light years ahead of some guests who brought absolutely nothing to the class. Most are great but there’s been a few real stinkers. 🦨🦨🦨💨
LMAOO The way Kate and Ryan acted this episode would have got them seperated across the room in class but they'd still be doing finger guns at eachother and the professor is just trying to teach the lesson plan!
This whole episode is basically the Professor trying and failing to keep control of two incredibly unruly students
I felt this LMAO
Ryan and Kate giving off real "back of the classroom" energy this episode
underrated comment lol
As a high school teacher, I truly felt the chaos this episode
I saw this comment before watching the episode and then when I got to the part where they're like "teach me professor!!!" I was like yup. For sure the back of the classroom energy
Pretty much every episodes with Kate in it! Those are always my favourites
As a former 'back of the classroom' kid... yes. Accurate.
the fact that Yaa Asantewaa died about a 100 years ago is mind boggling to me. like the story feels so old, but at the same time it is just around the corner?
exactly what i was thinking
The big age of decolonization was only roughly 60 years ago.
ikr like you look her up and there's a picture of her! makes you think about how long the british fucked over the rest of the world for and how recently it began to lessen.
@@anttibjorklund1869 yeah, it’s hard for some people to understand that. My father was born a “subject of the British Empire”, and I’m only 35
Absolute queen shit
hearing that the stool isn't another captive of the british museum is feeding my soul
British need to give back other countries artifacts at them. They can hang queen elizabeth clothes on the museum or some other shit
@@sayarasa8961 well, it's really not plausible- since the transporting of so much artifacts would have a very high cost, also, by your logic, Mona Lisa should be back in Italy? And with that, the Musée du Louvre would lose some visitors.
Artemisia So? Let them lose visitors. Those artifacts are not theirs to begin with, and most of the times, they have no cultural/historical association to them (prime example would be the ancient Egyptian artifacts and mummies they have smuggled into their countries). They are just greedily holding onto them for cash flow, like you are right now worried about Louvre losing visitors instead of these artifacts being returned to their homelands, where they actually belong. The fact that these European countries, especially the Brits and the French, have stolen and smuggled so many cultural artifacts from different countries that they have more than enough to display and exhibit them in several different museums is just mind blowing. Some countries like Egypt and Turkey are constantly asking them to give back their artifacts, even volunteering to cover the transportation costs in some cases, and their requests are simply being ignored on the pretense that these countries don’t have means to protect/take care of their own artifacts, which is so arrogant and outdated.
@@zxyabcc You're right tbh, have a good day^^
@@artemisia5663 this was a wholesome response
The professor yelling at them all to shut up then calmly asking them the question again and trying to lead them to the answer is true teacher vibes
yesssssss
As a 2nd grade teacher, it was very relatable
I teach Kinder. It's true.
@@jamesb9894 bless you and your work, I know I couldn't do it lmao
@@jazzedaboutcheese I honestly couldn't imagine being a teacher, I remeber how my classes were when I was a student 🤣
Kate is such a delight. Like imagine a student not understanding a thing in class but still showing up with enthusiasm every time just because the professor is great and it makes them happy to see someone care so much about their class. Adorable.
that is so wholesome
Honestly me in Greek Mythology this semester. No thoughts head empty IDK what's going on here but I like the prof X'D
i don't really see where she doesn't understand anything? it seems like she's following along well
I was literally going to comment that she is a delight. Love seeing her!
grace n word, idk why she says she knows nothing. She's nailing it
Me: Oh it's not fair that Ryan never wins...
Ryan: You mean the live action ATLA movie right?
Me: A ROTTEN JELLY BEAN FOR THE BEEF BOY
said the same thing in the comment section
Lmfao
DISHONOR! DISHONOR ON HIM! DISHONOR ON HIS FAMILY! DISHONOR ON HIS COW!
Omg...I thought the same thing🤣
@@Grim_Sister why dishonor his mother twice?
When badass grandma began with "foolish white man", I knew she was about to spit straight fire. I wasn't disappointed.
Also the energy between Kate and Ryan this episode was just pure serotonin. I have no other way to describe how much it lifted my mood.
That's putting my feelings into words. Sometimes i need something like these videos to help me when I'm down
Those quotes by her had me ready to join her ranks and fight for the preservation of the Stool.
Let's do this ladies, they want war we'll give it to them!!! Oh wait, I'm a few years late aren't I? :(
@TheGermanDuck Ah yes because clearly the British had nothing to do with the deaths of her people by constantly going to war with them over the decades. /s
@TheGermanDuck Bro she sieged this guy's military fort and the only reason why he managed to escape and call for reinforcements is because he lied to them and ran off like a coward. Did you not watch the video or are you just mad for the sake of being mad?
@TheGermanDuck Your point is that she is a shit general. Or are you talking about the last comment which wasn't a statement it was a question.
Alternate title: the Professor roasts imperialism for 33 minutes straight
As he should
as he should
As he should

Kate needs a contract saying that she gets to come back every season
Beat me to it! #HireKateNow
i think she already has one at this point lmao
I think she already has, ha ha!
Absolutely agree
i want her to join watcher. put her in ALL the content.
"So how do we sing about the Ashanti Stool of Gold without offending local feelings?"
A STOOOOL OF GOOOOOOOLD!
ngl the song has been stuck in my mind for weeks
Same thought haha it was pretty clever actually
Man I don't get why they were so scared of offending poeple with a song about a stool when they literally crapped on Santa Claus for a whole half hour
@@JMagic-ik7kx Oh shah, it's not offensive if you're poking fun at the people in power.
@@JMagic-ik7kx Is anyone gonna tell this guy that Santa isnt a real person?
I love that Shane made the word of the song only "A stool of gold" just so he made sure not to offend anyone saying something inapropiate or offensive, I find it amazing.
haha, he is a down ass white guy, very nice of him!
It's stuck in my head all the same
I want the professor to do just a whole season on shitty things the British did and call it “what did they steal next?”
@@natashaley2691 ❤️ I love the English but damn if it isn't true!
@@natashaley2691 perfect response 😂😂😂
With the amount of shitty things we did there would need to be more than a season, more likr a whole spin off show....
I agree. And I'm British. We fxcked up a lot of people.
@@natashaley2691 This makes me think of James Acaster hilarious stand up bit on the British Museum and the stuff there and being all "finders keepers"!.
Professor: “Have any of you seen avatar the last airbender?”
Ryan and Katie: “Ummmm”
Us: 👁👄👁
Ikr?
Even worse is Ryan mentioning the movie 😨
The professor seething with rage when ryan mentioned the movie is all of us
👆🏻- makarov :))
i think its cause they’re old
Shout out to The Professor for being cultured and watching the original ATLA series
Y E S
I just... really love this show. My sister is a historian and I write musical theater stuff and we both saw this show and said "OMG THEY DID IT. THEY MADE THE PERFECT SHOW."
You should watch the British show horrible histories
I do genuinely love how there was no lyrics for the song other than "A stool of gold" to make sure they don't accidentally say anything like deeply offensive about the culture or it's history. That's a nice little touch.
I love how even though it was just one line over and over again, it still slapped like this!
@@satarupagingerkolay let's be honest, any song they're gonna do is gonna freakin slap
RIGHT????? genius and very endearing
So relating the gold stool to modern rappers and gold chains would be in somewhat poor taste??
Most people: Africa is a country
The Professor: England is a Town or whatever
@Brad Buttowski you’d be surprised by a lot of Americans then. Our education system is.... not good. Then even if people “know” that, they’ll still talk about the continent as if it is a country/monolith, and just ignore the complexity of the land mass.
@@frostyskeletons8950 idk what school you went 2 but every American is taught about how it's a continent with many countries in it than are very complex from Europe's colonization in it so sorry to disappoint maybe u never paid attention
@@alewe5611 hey just so you know, a super easy way to not sound like an a**hole who doesn't know what they're talking about is not to make statements like "every American does [thing]" as you can not attest to every Americans experience. The education system is not exactly the same everywhere in America
@@alewe5611 🤦🏻♀️
@@DiamondPaintArt well I live in the poorest part in the poorest state as a poc and as a women with dyslexica so.. im pretty sure ppl who dont know basic shit like that r bcuz mfs dont pay attention not because they're not taught it
My dad is from Ghana and has wooden Adinkra stools in his house- it’s so cool to see the backdrop of Ghanaian cultural references I grew up with shown to a larger audience!
That's so cool! Are they miniatures, or life-sized?
It's funny how British managed to be part of every countries dark past.
Yes, no wonder in ther country they don't teach about colonization. They must be really ashamed.
@@lavanyaparashar4csn350 We currently have a Prime Minister who has said that colonization was a good thing. We are not *nearly* ashamed enough.
@@PassTheMarmalade1957 I have friends in London they told me most ppl do believe that because they were never taught about reality of colonization. Ah it's just sad.
@@lavanyaparashar4csn350 it's actually started being integrated into the curriculum at GCSE and A level now! When I left school about 3 years ago we studied this stuff which is a great step!
@@lavanyaparashar4csn350 ashamed of not civilising more of the world. Especially murica, our work wasn't done.
Anyone else extremely satisfied that the stool didn't end up in some british museum? Love that it was hidden and managed to stay in the culture that created it.
Did not expect it! Kudos to them!!
I mean, they didn't create it as it fell from the sky. /j
But other than that! Especially for such an obviously valuable item, that's astounding!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAS!! THEY PROTECTED THAT!!!!
Love it!!!!!
YES
Kate is the MVP of Puppet History (besides the professor obvs)
and beef boy
She’s our queen now and forever
Hey! You do not disrespect Beef Boy like that.
Beef boy reading this: 👁👄👁
This is Beef Boy erasure
"they abolished domestic slavery" "they started drafting citizens to work on public infrastructure"
Britain... my dudes.... i have something fun to tell you.
If you're getting paid it isn't slavery, when you are drafted you are still paid and are free to spend your money how you wish to like when someone is drafted into the military. For all the shitty things the British did and its early involvement in the slave trade to America, Britain were the ones who made the first steps to ending slavery World wide. Imperial Britain or Europe in general doesn't have many happy stories but that is one of them.
@@AGD_27 let's ignore all the slave rebellions I guess.
@@gmc5618 I'm not doing that. I was talking about a world wide focus on the abolition of slavery. The British actioned blockades around the entire coast of Africa and would capture any slave ships they could and free the slaves. Slave rebellions are extremely important parts of history but are often very localised. And like I said I'm not trying to cast the entire British empire and all its actions as heroic just that they played a key part in this particular area of history.
@@AGD_27 Let's not forget that the British abolished slavery just to replace it with a system of Indenture, which included the torture, whipping and shooting of multiple Indian serfs in the sugarcane fields of Fiji Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. Indenture had all the "fun" of slavery, but at least they got paid, right?, a sick euphemism if anything. And not only that but Indenture lasted till the 1920s, which has left a sizeable negative effect on current members, especially on Indo-Caribbean and Indo-Fijian communities who are highly marginalised today. So when you say, "if you're getting paid, it isn't slavery", remember how the British Empire gave numbers to the Indian-Indentured labourers, how they were transported in inhumane conditions in which cholera and death followed. Once on land, how they suffered at the hands of the British plantation owners, the same hand they had dealt in the Americas before the abolition of slavery. And in fact, those who signed up for Indenture were coerced and manipulated, even kidnapped from their villages, so no, there are no happy stories in this context.
@@CellularShenenigans Well there are, because that happened in India - especially under the East India Company (later problems were absolutely there, but they were typical massive incompetence and not seeing what you don't want to find) and they ended the transatlantic slave trade a completely seperate social institution of with it's own matrix of human suffering and evil. It's whataboutist if anything to compare apples to oranges- just because the empire had an effect in two different places. It looks at the British as a monolith rather than acknowledging the massive political will it took to begin their quest against slavery, and the actions of millions of citizens in the world's most powerful representative government to see it through.
You don't have to pretend other evils don't exist, or even that later politicians and businessmen used it as Moral Licensing for later evil (just like literally all neocolonialism), especially when criticizing the effects of their incredibly damaging extractive insititutions or stupid implementations of the evils of capitalism. They perpetrated it on others, but just as much on themselves. Like when tens of thousands of sailors went to entirely preventable deaths because there was no free market incentive to keep them alive, and literally every incentive in the world to let cheap as fuck boats sink. Children in the coal mines. Really not hard. But instead of doing nothing about an evil they felt was wrong they spent an insane amount of money, manpower and great efforts by theirs and even the American navy to ensure the slave trade ended. Not to mention the herculean task of starting that movement in the first place by William Wilberforce, and as well partly by a former slave ship captain no less who famously wrote a poem that became the lyrics to Amazing Grace. Which is someone taking responsibility for their actions and changing the world as a result -- which is a good story that's important to know and share. History is not a zero sum of evil, because almost no Empire is evil - they are an extension of human nature, good and bad and it's reductive and ignorant and if applied to any issue today - really fucking unproductive doomer bullshit - to fail to see the efforts of those who fought for what was right in all eras of history.
Today it felt like the Professor was assigned detention duty.
Unmatched lyricism on this week's song
Didn’t expect to see JA on this channel omg
🤣
The surprise guest has arrived!
JA? OMG
I liked the chorus about the stool of gold.
Ryan: “You’re talking about the M Night Shyamalan version right?”
Me: GIVE HIM A ROTTEN JELLYBEAN!!!
AGREED!
He should've gave him a negative 10 for that lmao
He deserves all the rotten jellybeans for that one smh
He uttered something that should never be and never has been.
The only time I thougth he deserved a rotten jellybean and he didn´t give him one smh
My absolute FAVORITE bit is when the professor says "say it with me now" and he does a sing song to a phrase NO ONE could possibly guess with that adorable font.
That and "c-dogs."
“You ever see avatar the last airbender?” “Uhhhhh” “cultureless” -literally me in any social situation
Can we acknowledge how badass Yaa Asantewaa was??? She's so awesome
Yeah, she's badass!
Bruh, she's so cool.
I wonder who's voice they used cause they have a strong as voice 😍
@@naraynip9984 it says Shiro Kihagi in the description!
@@erfyw ya I just checked there 😅
The professor: “God Willin’ and the creek don’t rise. “
Literally everyone: “the behavior you exhibited was Midwestern. The Midwesterner jumped out. “
I literally turned and went "Grandma???" (she's from Indiana)
I'm southern (from South Carolina), and it's used here as well. My grandparents and mother use it regularly.
So for history and being in class...what does it mean? 🤔😂
@@highlandgirl84 essentially a way of saying "if everything goes right" so like "God willin and the creek don't rise, we won't have to do *blank* anytime soon."
I thought ryan and kate were joking when they didn't know what that meant.
Shout out to Shiro Kihagi for giving me CHILLS. Absolutely amazing preformance as Yaa Asantewaa.
seconded
“If I stole something I would definitely say it fell from the sky into my arms”
Stanley Yelnats from the movie “holes”: am I a joke to u
HA! Good movie
I'm surprised someone other than me saw that movie.
from the... book...
@@micheal2458I found that many people haven’t read the book but have seen the movie adaptation. Those who did read the book often HAVE ALSO seen the movie adaptation. So referencing the movie is more relatable.
@@TheWholeEntireCake I've read the book and not seen the movie :B
College professors should actually consider using puppets (and jelly beans) to keep the students engaged
🤣🤣
As a college student I would love this
I would have perfect attendance if they did that
I had a lecture once where the Professor would throw pretty sizeable chocolate treats across the lecture hall if you got his question right. Never had participation been that high :)
If this episode proved anything, it's that it doesn't help with retaining information. Kate even said so at the forefront that she never remembers anything from these episodes. Still, would like a good jelly bean snack during a lecture.
As a Ghanaian I’m really happy to see our history being told to a wider audience
I didn't know this part of history but Ghana still gets so much cred (at least in Canada) for their involvement in Rwanda in 1994, I don't know what the fuck our forces would have done without you guys. Most of our normal G7 allies might have peaced the hell out of there, but you guys stayed the whole time. So I'm not surprised your history is bad ass!
So cool!!
I was so happy to learn!! That woman was a force to be reckon with!
its such an interesting history and i really hope we get to hear more African stories!!
I'm psyched to learn it
" you got any more conversation stoppers in that satchel of yours??" I swear to god Ryan's and Kate's witticisms kill me!!! Honestly have her back on the show as many times as possible ☺️
I remember studying this in AP Art History. My teacher was very passionate about teaching us that a ton of art was stolen from its native people. Enough that it rubbed off on us. When she was telling us about this we all groaned when the British got involved. But in the end when the Asante got to keep it, we literally cheered.
the reason ryan never wins is because the professor rewrites history in real time so that all of Ryan's answers are wrong
SJKFGHJGKDJSGKFSFJKF
I AM LIVING FOR THIS INTERPRETATION
I love this omg
With the help of a mysterious djinn...
100%
LMFAO
gosh, the chemistry between these 3 is always so manically & delightfully infectious! really interesting but tragic history in this one too, important to learn about
Agreed 👍
i know omg i was about to comment on this too!! i LOOVE the energy when kate was hyping up ryans "taxing stool" joke LOL
Ryan saying “you mean the M. Night Shyamalan film?” when the professor asked him if he had seen ATLA activated my fight response.
Plot twist, Ryan has been kidnapped by the professor and can't leave until he wins one of theses puppet history...
“Wait a minute, THIS is the bad place!”
and the thing is, The Prof is kinda lonely and Ryan is the only company he has so he will never let him win
"this isn't going to be blasphemous!" - Previously had God on the show
I didnt know what I was expecting, then suddenly the l y r i c s
I wanted to like this 100 times lol 😂
Not to tell the Professor how to do his job, but Ryan mentioning the Avatar the Last Airbender movie should’ve cost him a jellybean
I think he was talking about the movie Avatar with the blue aliens
@@CHESShireCat no, he said "Avatar: The Last Airbender"
He specifically say "M.Night Shyamalan"
Honestly when he was describing the connection between the past and present the first thing I thought of was she ra. But I agree that deserved a rotten jellybean
Lol I thought the same thing! Even though he had 0 points he could've been -1 points!
When the professor shakes violently in rage it’s just like my favorite thing
They should do an episode about Mexico’s “Guerra de los pasteles” (Pastry war) with France
I need details, ASAP
Pastry war?? Okay I second this
…im intrigued
PASTRIES YOU SAY?!?
Wait til yall hear about the bloodiest civil war in Brazil, the War of Straws lmaoooo
Being Ghanaian-American and hearing this story a million times from my dad, this is the most entertaining version of The War of the Golden Stool I've ever heard. Hilarious! Keep up the good work!
Was there any details Prof missed or added or was there any variations in Prof’s retailing?
@@catherinesheffield8093 Nope! He pretty much got everything right, including the reason why the Golden Stool is so important to us.
@@catherinesheffield8093 I have actually heard a different telling. Most of everything was the same, but more emphasis on Yaa Asantewaa as Queen Mother and her role in taking on the British. Kinda weird nothing was mentioned about the Queen Mother role in the Asante tribe.
@@DravenUrei they talk about queenmother more on the Puppet History newsletters, in case anyone interested :)
@@DravenUrei Fascinating! Truly fascinating! Do you think there might be a reason for the emphasis on certain parts over others? It is a family thing? A community thing?
I love how Kate called out how Ryan looks like a serial killer when he watches the musical performance.
The Ricky Goldsworth just jumped out of him...
I always have to remind myself that Ryan and Kate can’t see any of the pictures describing the lesson and I always wondered how they could learn just based off of hearing words alone cause I could never
The show is very much scripted (with room for improvisation I'm sure) so I'm sure they have a good idea of what's happening before filming ☺️
i came here AFTER watching the finale.... poor horse.... he was too pure.
me too
Man!! I really loved that Yaa Asantewaa had a different voice! Props to Shiro Kihagi for doing her! She sounded so badass! Yaa Asantewaa sounded like a very bad ass woman! I would love to see a movie about her honestly!!
Gave me chills
Listen!! That's the movie we need
That would be so metal!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS
So strong-willed! Love that!
"Babe wake up, we got more Professor lore to sift through"
"Yes honey"
And we START with tracking down a picture of the Professor chillin on a beach with GIANT tortoises
Kate is literally my favorite guest on the show and I think she should be made the permanent 3rd member of puppet history.
Everyone say thank you to Shiro Kaigani for voicing Yaa Asantewaa
28:00
“There was no reason for the British to do any of that, just stay in your lane.”
That’s it, that’s a summarization of all of history.
Period
Or you can swap British out for French, Spanish, or Dutch
@@spacetrashpile7199 or america lol the biggest imperialist empire currently still on the planet propagating neocolonialism is the US of A. Shit literally doing it as I'm typing this lol
Exactly. That and every imperialist country. War with neighbours and regional folks, ok. Still bad. But imperialism is a whole other level of evil.
As a Brit, I can say that a lot of the worst of our history could be completely erased if we’d just not been nosy, power and land hungry. So yeah. An accurate summary.
the Professor really do be dumbledore giving Griffindor 10 points at the end of the year.
"Yes, yes. Well done Ryan, very well done Ryan. However..."
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 Kate had 4. The guest won fairly.
🫘
17:55 Kate and Ryan are the two class clowns that gets joy out of teasing the professor and humouring the whole class. Gotta love em 😂
"Ryan, im not a liar"
"Sounds like what a liar would say"
Well, ryan, that sounds like what a liar would say to another liar to cover up their lies
Whoever smelt it dealt it. I'm dying
I mean both of them being liars is on the table. One being a liar doesnt cancel out the other
18:13
The Professor: “What is one thing that their rulers have that he does not?”
Me: ...melanin???
gold star comment
PREACH
I WAS THINKING THIS
SAMEEEEEEEE
PLS I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING
THE QUALITY OF EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD I CANT BELIEVE IM WATCHING THESE FOR FREE
I love how in every song segment the guest is smiling and bopping to the music having a grand old time and Ryan is just sitting there having accepted his fate
I'm sure he's having Hot Daga flashbacks the entire time.
I feel like the more we progress on this show, the less Ryan cares about winning and cares more about pissing the professor off
I would be honored to be a guest. Where do I sign?
Big ups to whoever decided to have a guest voice for Yaa Asantewaa, way more powerful 🙌🏻
Omg yes
A Nigerian actress credited in the description! Pretty cool for casting an African actress!
This show makes me feel the way Bill Nye The Science Guy did when I was a kid. The fun + learning something new is an addicting combination. It has a little more adult sass than Bill Nye did, which is just perfect 👌🏼 Great work, thank you for making this. Puppet History is really an amazing series and concept I just love it so much. It stands out from the other history channels for sure.
Right? It’s such a good show! It also gives me nostalgia of Crashbox too
I'm gonna say that the lyrics to the song this time were inspired by a deadline arriving sooner than expected, and a not-insignificant amount of cannabis.
ryan: hasn’t seen atla
me: *uncultured swine*
The fact that the Professor got offended when Ryan said he watched the movie instead is me 💀
Very
atlANTA
Iroh is a GOAT
@@venerandoalamaresjr.8910 i was like :0 how dare
I read somewhere that England's world domination throughout history was so widespread that today a country celebrates its independence from England every 6 days.
independence days - britain's greatest export
It's probably true, the 105th anniversary of the start of Ireland's main rebellion that lead to Ireland's freedom from British rule is next week on Easter Sunday
Watching the way my country has handled the Pandemic, I can't believe we used to rule half the world, we dumb.
I'm also pretty sure that's why English is now the universal language everywhere
Hearing Yaa Asantewaa go "WHO THIS WHITE MAN?" was priceless. What a lady.
“The only dumb question is the one not asked”
“Someone lied to you”
Such a true statement. Especially if you’ve taught middle school kids....there are stupid questions FOR DAYS!!!
The professor calling kate and ryan culture-less for not knowing Avatar the last airbender is what i needed before going to bed
Me, lying in bed reading this: mood
The fact Ryan even mentioned M. Night Shyamalam's The Last Airbender is worth a million rotten jelly beans. Change my mind.
No
@@SUG3R no to changing their mind or no to the million rotten jelly beans??
@@YB-ox5uc yes
kate brings the cutest, most genuine and hilarious “i’m just happy to be here” energy. can u say puppet history online university valedictorian??!
I have to point this out: it is a very real possibility that “Spool of Gold” is written the way that it is for the sole purpose of Shane trying to make sure he actually WASN’T blasphemous about it
the amount of joy puppet history brings me might be borderline unhealthy
it doesn’t harm you so it’s fine.
Same xD
it me
It temporarily cures depression
I feel like, when the time comes where there is no more puppet history, there will forever be an unfillable hole in my soul...
Hey guys this Puppet History's song was a little hard to follow along with, but don't worry, I got the lyrics!
A stool of gold x12
I said a stool of gold
A stool of gold
Hope this helps guys!
Thank you. It was hard for me to keep up 💗
a stool! of gold! a stool- stool! of gold!
thank you so much! You're really doing the God's work here
Yes, thank you! This is really helpful.
Worst puppet history song EVER 💔
i love puppet history so much because it’s like you’re a grown man & you’re wiling to sit in front of a screen for half an hour as your best friend plays with puppets... perfect
The War of the Golden Stool: featuring Ryan and Kate being children for half and hour
Ryan needs to have like 69 negative points for bringing up a film we all know doesn't exist
I knowwww like I love Ryan but i am gonna have to fight him for not only not knowing atla but also bringing up that godforsaken movie
Next episode the professor thanos snaps him so hard Ryan can see the professor’s backstory in hot dawga format before you crumbles away
there is no movie in ba sing se
I could feel the professor's disdain when Ryan talked about that M. Night Shyamalan atrocity in regards to ATLA...
Whoever voice acted Yaa asantewaa literally slayed that voice!
This was the first Puppet History where I genuinely felt I was transported back to a high school classroom. With that one professor who’s totally smart but a little too laid back so a number of us students start affectionately punking on him or we get a little too snarky that he’s forced to reprimand us but at the end of the day we’re still all good AND we actually learn something. Love it. 🤩
Unfortunately, they'd already spent the whole season's lyric budget.
hahaahhhahhahahahhahahahahahahahhaaaahahahahhahaaa
"Ecotone" blew my mind. I have to agree!
If the horse puppet and his “wife” is for an episode on Catherine the Great i WILL scream
Omg they could never 😂😂
You just blew my mind. I didn't know that in English, the name of our great Empress from "C" and not "E". I also thought that not translating names universal norm. What a discovery, thanks.
@@kuroinokitsune dude what. It's been done since I don't know when and it works the same way in Russian, like Queen Elisabeth is called Елизавета and so on. Also Catherine (Екатерина) is not even her real name lol so why bother.
I really like Yaa’s strength! She’s like no favortism or anything and she’s like giving a strategic threat and she beat up nearly most of the army! She may have been captured, but she’s got some warrior heart!
Also the puppet sex convo is hilarious!
prof with the guests: aw, hey, how are you doing, I love you and hope you get everything you want in live
the professor: Hey, real quick, where are the Seychelles?
me, being really quick: on the Seyshore :'D
I said the same thing hahaha. Just sounds like "seashell" with a southern american accent lol
Is that where Shey sells them?
Golden 🤣🤣🤣
I think Ryan and Kate should be assigned to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender
Edit: The animated TV series. We don’t acknowledge the movie in this household
AGREED.
The M. Night Shyamalan movie?
@@DaniWhoPhD god noooo😂😂 the Nickelodeon series
I agree, that’s their homework. I’d watch the *shit* out of a series of them watching ATLA.
But don't watch the movie. DO NOT watch the movie!
PLEASE have more Kate! She is hilarious.
This is by far my favorite story. They never let their stool go! And the fact that they still have it to this day makes me so happy
As a Brit, Americans discussing the empire is hilarious as so many people are taught at school that we did great things when really we were truly awful
it makes sense, american students aren't taught very thoroughly about imperialist things the u.s. has done, and in japan i don't think they teach students about their own atrocities at all
I don’t know about every school but they taught bad things the US did. Examples: The Trail of Tears, Slavery, Japanese and Italian internment camps during WWII, The sketchy story of how Hawaii became a part of the US. Maybe you just had a bad history teacher.
@@aindyc9819 yea my teachers always made sure we knew the US wasn’t perfect
@@jrivxxi2947 Killing Hope and The Jakarta Method are two very good books on some of the things the usa has done
Heh😅Indian history books can make you hate yourselves , I don't mean to generalize but as someone who majored in history studying the era of colonization made me cuss like crazy 😅😅😅and because of that I still have this hidden anger towards the British people in general because Britain looted our country shamelessly .
The Brits: * do something incredibly shitty to another country and their people.*
Me: “Ah shit, here we go again.”
And the US does exactly the same thing to countries all over the world now
@@T0T4LG4MER5 Like father, like son.
@@T0T4LG4MER5 britain, wiping away a tear: *sniffle* i'm so proud
france: sure is a chip off the old block, huh
/j
Mamma Mia...
@@brian-pn2qg France has this habit, too. Heck, they even took over Britain in 1066.
I think Kate and Ryan actually broke the professor in this episode
You can see the light go out of the professor’s eyes when Ryan says “the M. Night Shyamalan movie?”
Calling it now: the season finale is gonna be about Catherine the Great
Granted, that horse story is complete bs, but the fact that a wife was even brought up makes me think that’s what they’re going for
Oh dear lord I hope that's not what's going to happen (I'd love to hear about Catherine, but I don't want to think about the horse, even if it is 1000% lies and slander)
It could also be Lady Godiva
oh please God not Catherine the great and the horse
It could be about Incitatus the horse of Emperor commodus made consul
huh?? what horse story
Im a 48yr old triple OG black man and I act like I'm five yrs old when a new puppet history ep comes out. Lol
So true 56 here and I laugh til I cry
Wholesome
Tbf I'm 44 and NEVER miss PU!
Why didn’t we know Shane was such a good singer because I’m genuinely impressed
Kate and Ryan are the ultimate duo. She has to be my personal favorite guest on this show
