- Everyone wants to be famous, right? Well, maybe not, and most people would definitely not bury themselves alive for over two months to achieve stardom... but not everyone is Mike Meaney.
In 1968, Irishman Mike Meaney decided he would make his dreams of fame come true by breaking the world record for the longest someone has remained buried alive. The Tipperary, Ireland, native based in London was able to stay in his oversized coffin for 61 days - beating the past world record by over two weeks. The kicker? No representative from the Guinness Book of World Records was on-site to see Meaney complete the feat.

When I was in Elementary School, every year, I'd buy The Guiness Book of World Records during the book fair and read it over and over again. I was amazed by the stunts and physical records.
My sister did the same.
When I was a kid I spent a significant amount of time pouring over the Guiness Book.
It's cool you actually read it! Back in the day, most kids (me included) just looked for the photos like "Longest Fingernails" and the two obese twins with the matching outfits and motorscooters.
Much respect!
Everythings better with Weird History.❤
Okay I really want to hear more about the woman that stayed on a flagpole for OVER 200 DAYS??!! How??
I don’t understand the bathroom situation 🫣
@@ThatsShowbizBabyy Yeah, me either, unless she had a bucket up there with her. Maybe 2 buckets. One for food and one for waste.
"That song about not being sick but not being well..." That got me good 😂 . As soon as you said that, I immediately heard it in my head! Good video!
Yep, because at no point in that song does anyone ever sing about flagpoles or sitting.
Moral of the story: there's a niche for everything. Find yours.
Well, this is something. First time hearing about this. Impressive.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a unique and fascinating history!
0:50 I bought the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle, it has Keith Haring designs on it (he is a famous street artist).
The artwork is a lot more influential than I previously thought, there is a lot of awesome clothes and a shoeline with it on it!
It all reminds me of the music video "Sky High" by Jigsaw.
I remember meeting Ross McWhirter many years back he was a lovely guy, very knowledgeable and very modest.
1:21 We had some Guinness Book of World Records books when I was younger, they were an intriguing and inspiring read!
I'm so glad you are covering this! Thank you
I think back to that one guy who pre-recorded an audio recording of himself trying to get out of his coffin.
That was the funniest funeral ever
Woah what? This sounds hilarious is there video or anything? rip to one legendary comedian, by the sounds of it
@@The.One.True.B yea bro type in, Irish man funny funeral” in the search bar you should find it, it’s really funny
@@The.One.True.BIrish man leaves funny recording for his funeral.
0:45 I used to have a Notre Dame pennant on my bedroom wall when I was in junior high and high school.
They are one of my favorite teams, I hope they join the B1G Ten soon!
8:59 That is an eye-opening history!
I LOVE YOU NARRATOR
Thank you for this! ⚰
I celebrate Harvey Danger's entire catalog.
0:01 Reminds me of the Cat Mayo commercial with Kate McKinnon, very funny!
0:22 Wim Hof AKA The Iceman sits in boxes of ice and breaks Guiness World Records!
His book Becoming The Iceman (2011) is revolutionary!
I'll be claustrophobic
Ya there's so many psychological horrors associated with this one. I'll pass
0:16 One of my friends picked up a hula hoop for the fight time and was able to do it a long time!
It was surprising because it is unusual that anyone can be so great at something the first try!
They must have sent back up the bodily fluids, right?
I know right, plenty of questions here...
Guinness Book of World Records was always a favorite read as a child!
Very Impressive
For American narrators (because I hear this so often), if you're naming someone by their title, except in very specific circumstances, _don't_ use their surname. A full introduction would be Sir Hugh Beaver (or Lord Beaver _if_ he was a lord and not "just" a knight - one of the specific circumstances), but when using the "Sir" title, he would be "Sir Hugh", _never_ Sir Beaver!
Just think of the royals: "Prince William", not "Prince Wales". And his wife is "Princess Katherine", not "Kate Middleton" - she changed her name on marriage like most women do. I'm sure there's a web page explaining it all somewhere!
That's good to know actually! I was under the misconception that the whole title/first name thing was the UK tabloid news' shorthand way of covering the royal family!
Hey, don't judge too harshly on my ignorance. I'm American. We won a war a long time ago partly in order to not have to recoginze such things! 😂
It’s likely laziness and apathy. Honestly, most Americans couldn’t care less about titles, royalty, bleh. I mean, 1776 wasn’t too long ago… 😂
Ahhhhh the original narrator. Thank the gods.
When i saw the title and subject, I thought this was a qxir video
Sir Hugh Beaver is my new gamertag
Because you also find the humor in these kind of names, I feel an obligation to share that I have a regular customer at my job named Sharon Dix.
Actual name. 😂
0:58 There is a harp emblem on the Guinness can, reminds me of the Harp Twins!
6:41 It would have been funny if a bunch of unusual reading was sent down to him, like strange dime novels or housekeeping magazines.
How did the people on flagpoles go to the bathroom? Talk about lack of privacy!
Much like trump, they just shit themselves.
Wait so this is abnormal behaviour...I had no idea I needed help I’ve been doing this for decades.
Nah, it's not any more abnormal than being in a fur suit in public. 😅
That's nothing. Try taking his whiskey away for that time period 😂
I've never gotten here this early, nice...
FYI, the MC Worters were twin brothers who apparently had photographic memories & they regularly appeared on a kids TV show in the late 70's/early 80's called "The Record Breakers".
Was this narrator a VA in the horizon game? :o
Best narrator!!
I should have Guiness count up my comments.
I’m getting claustrophobic watching this video 😂
I loved reading the world record books in school, I'd buy a new one every year during my schools book fair,good times.
Irish Mr. Beast:
Tell Mr. Blank I love him!
3:10 A Periscope! Hahaha!
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
Eating LUCKY CHARMS* (Hidden Dragon Reveals in Milk)...while watching this Weird History video!
*From the Weird History video "Why Was the 80s the Golden Age for Sugary Cereals?"
Yes! He's back! I can listen again
1:16 Hahaha!
That reminds me of the music video "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish.
How did he... _use_ the bathroom? err.. never mind.
Omg I thought you died! ❤
That Irishman is determined to be famous. 😀👍
2:24 this is a pretty misleading image, and I immediately had to question how anyone could spend over 7 months standing on a flagpole.
217 days?? How did she go to the bathroom? What did she do for fun? Didn't her legs cramp??
You'll be underground soon enough, so I don't see the point of doing it just because. That's just me! 🤔😒🙄
Om nom nom
I wonder what the record is for a dude that didn't leave his couch?
So that's where "The Life Of Riley" got the character name.
Mr. Beast has been real quiet since this video dropped.
I am going to watch the video:
---TIMELINE 1986---
That’s quite the intro
Make a video about the Uyghur Turks and East Turkestan, please! 🙏
👍🏻🇨🇦🇮🇪🇨🇦👍🏻
In that intro, you said a lot of mean things about Mr. Beast
When is a new Timeline coming out
sitting on a pole is a common coming of age test for some tribal communities.
Savage gobbledegook stone age people
Just think of the bodily waste that would down there with these people!🤢
No worse than trump in a long meeting.
@@misterhat5823 are you ok? You seem to be caught in some weird internet bubble that has you seeing the world through the lens of hating an ego centric politician who hasn't been in office in over three years.
@@aniE1869Whatever. My comment was still factual.
@@misterhat5823 the fact that on video that has absolutely nothing to do with him. Under a comment that also has nothing to do with him. Your first thought was Donald Trump makes you sound unhinged. I have a boomer aunt that does the same thing all the time. It's unhealthy to let that old man live rent free in your mind. Go outside and talk to your neighbors.
@@aniE1869Just admit it. You poop your pants too and got triggered.
Que commenters commenting on how much they love "this" narrator
Because we DO
Out of love and respect for the OG narrator, how could we possibly be upset with him taking a little break sometimes? Sure the new guy is a lot different, but in my experience, he isn't that bad if you give him a chance! It's obvious the same person/people? are writing them all, so..... why not let the OG share the reigns?@@thishappycrafter272
Ross McWhirter was assassinated by the IRA in 1975😢
Those late night talk shows are too outdated and boring for the 2020s. This is Colbert's true calling
I want to know more about that joint interview. If they were in different countries how did they pass the joint?
Eating contests need to go away
Yay .. the best narrator!
☮
I didn’t want to, but I’m starting to like the other one too😁 this guy is just so damn good his shoes are hard to fill
All three are good.
There's my guy
early :)
He died after 61 days? That’s impressive. Ok back to Gordon Ramsey 👋
