top 10 youtubers that exposed copy copycats
5:55 actually he was not the first bear in the Polish army.
the first was the polar bear.
was in the period between the world wars.
if i good remember
The Pig Wars was crazy story Oversimplifed made a really comedic video on the whole history i couldn't stop laughing and thinking with disbelief this actually happened
In case you ever thought the Emu War was an inside joke that every Australian has perpetuated over the years to make non-Australians think it’s real for generations. It’s not like Drop Bears.
It was a rich UK farmer who hated emus. It's not like the Americans who hate the French because they know better than to go in their stupid wars
Dude, acting like drop bears aren't real could put tourists in danger.
What are Drop Bears?
@@johnmcmanus2447 They are bears that drop from the trees or anywhere you think is a nice bit of shade to take a nap they’ll drop down and claw your eyes out
Dude. Don't talk about the drop bears. They know when you talk about them and they ain't nice.
The Emu war will always be great, but Napoleon getting chased by tamed rabbits takes the cake 😂
No it doesn't -- the rabbits did!
The great emu war will always be a meme worthy byword for fail. Those emu commanders where brilliant and showed how Australia's wildlife is not to be messed with.
At long last it’s finally addressed!
*The Great Emu War!*
Couldn’t stop laughing about it every time the topic comes up
I love telling people the story of Wojtek! It always makes them smile! He was such a good bear!
Food Theory debunked the Pepsi Navy claim. The fleet was an early negotiation point, and even if the deal went through, by number of ships and by tonnage Pepsi wouldn’t have broken the top 20 at the time.
I was so glad someone else made this point
Beat me to the punch. Was going to post it if no one else had
An honourable mention should go to the "Great Walleye War". Fishermen from the small Minnesota community of the Northwest Angle, which is separated from the rest of the state by Lake of the Woods and can only be accessed by land via Canada, threatened to leave the United States over fish they were catching. Fish caught in Canadian waters couldn't be brought back to the US. In the end, there were no casualties in the "war" as both the US and Canadian governments agreed that the nationality of the fish shouldn't matter
The weirdest historical events: the birth of the director of Morbius and creator of Raid Shadow Legends.

I have heard the story of a strategist having seated himself on a wall and merely played a string instrument with a great army approaching. Due to his renown, they expected there to be a trap, which there wasn't and retreated
Might be wrong, but was that Zhuge Liang (a.k.a. Kongming)?
@@rustydragonling I don’t remember his name for sure, but maybe? I could try googling and checking
What I remember was that Kongming had been playing an instrument, calmly. The important fact wasn't that he was playing, but how serene his performance was at the time and situation. It would've been a stressful one at the time too. An invading army was at the city gates. The leader of the army... now that name eludes me, but, anyways, he was unnerved by the fact this music was being played without err and more than casually. It was like the army was being goaded to enter the city. He suspected there was a reason his army wasn't causing the strategist any alarm and became paranoid. So, he didn't take any chances and moved on, leaving the city alone. A nice trick as the strategist had nothing if the ruse didn't work. :)
Hello, everyone! Yes, the Chinese general in question was in fact Zhuge Liang, who while occupying Yang-p'ing in 149 BCE found himself about to be attacked by Sima Yi. Just as battle was about to start Zhuge Liang abruptly struck his colors, stopped the beating of his war-drums, and flung open the city gates to show only a few men calmly sweeping and sprinkling the ground. Zhuge Liang himself may have come out on the city wall and played a little melody to himself, the Art of War doesn't say. But this display of calm normalcy so surprised Sima Yi that, suspecting an ambush, he actually pulled his army back and retreated!
Hilariously I actually did a school powerpoint presentation on the emu war, it was dumber that the large birds won moreso than the effort the Australians put into the war against them
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is a weird one to me. There were several attempts on his life, all but the last one failing. And the last one only succeeded because the Archduke’s driver took a wrong turn and happened to wind up in front of the killer who had gone to get food after his co-conspirators had failed. It’s a wild story in itself, and interesting to think about how history was changed literally because a guy took a wrong turn.
They need to adapt that bear story into a movie. “Yup that’s me, you’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation”
My favorite weird history story is when three men were declared Pope at the same time and all excommunicated each other. It happened in the late 14th to early 15th centuries.
The fact you opened up with Weird History is totally awesome behind yall its my favorite channel
Have you heard of the Manhattan Project? How about Project X-Ray? At the same time the US was building the atom bomb, there was another top-secret military weapon being developed. The military began researching the use of the bat (flying mammal not the stick for hitting balls) as a way of distributing incendiary devices among the Japanese houses. The bat-bomb was effective enough that during a test run, a part of a military base was accidently burned down. In spite of its' bizarreness, Project contributed both an increased knowledge of bats and the creation of napalm (it was light enough, so, the bats could carry it.
They said weirdest. The bat bombs weren’t as weird as people pretend
@@Chaoticchips I said weird which does not correlate to being ineffective.
I love that this video kicks off with an excerpt from the weird history CZcams channel, that channel is awesome.
I am so glad you pronounced EMU correctly. EMU - Em-You. Some Americans call them Em-Mooh.
They're the emos :) I agree, it's nice to hear it pronounced correctly for once
Wait it's not E-Mu?
@@jaliyahtootle04Surely, you can't be serious?
@@Andrew-df1dr it's always been E-mu for as long as I can remember
@@jaliyahtootle04 Are you American?
I fought an emu once. It was weird. We used light sabres.
Thank you for these unbelievable facts. These stories are off the charts Wacky!!!
No humans were killed during the emu wars? That's a shame, that's a population that needs to be culled
The rabbits, naturally being taller than napoleon, easily overtook him.
Unfortunately for the Straw Hat Bandits, they eventually encountered one Monkey D. Luffy, who sued them for trademark infringement.
The Josh fight should’ve been on here
The Battle of Karansebes was an incident where the Austrian army defeated itself over several barrels of schnaps. The baffled Ottoman army arrived the next day and easily took the town.
I had a neighbour who told me about the 1910 comet. She said she and her family hid under the beds to make sure they didn't get affected by the toxic vapours from Hailley's comet.
Seeing Simon Whistler on a channel that's not even one of his is wild. 🤣
5:34 this puts a whole new meaning to monty python
I grok your Monty Python reference. "LOOK AT THE BONES!"
The first thing I thought of when I saw the thumbnail is that Emmanuel the Emu has committed more than interrupting his owner's Zoology lessons.
I'm still surprised that nobody has made a movie about that marathon yet.
Like it... Good job 👏👏👏
That thumbnail is just great. Sgt Emu
Thank you emu’s you really helped us
0:01 Enemies couldn't *bear* the might of that mad lad's ferocity in battle.
Bruh
Mad Lad good Count Dankula reference
Great 👍
🤗...Please..More of this historical Events..
Aye it's awesome seeing one of Thoughty2's videos referenced in one of these!
Amazing Videos, Always 🤩
World War 2 could fill this list along. Between Mad Jack Churchill, Wojtek, and Bazooka Charlie, it was full of crazy stories
How about german UBoot, that sunk due to faulty toilet? Or a Korean soldier, who was captured by Japanese, then by Russians, then by Germans, then by Americans.
The baboon that worked on the railway in South Africa and never made a mistake will be perfect for the follow up video!!
Limu Emu from Liberty Mutual would have loved to have been part of the Great Emu War
You didn't know? Limu Emu went into the insurance biz because he saw that his brothers in arms were getting hornswoggled by cut rate insurance companies while they fought in the war
@@edd868 ohh. That explains his aggression in the commercials
I really enjoyed the collab ppl lol was not expecting Weird History & definitely wasn't expecting Thoughty2
good video
Holy Throwback Simon! His beard was so short, and his background so not Czech brickwork. Thrown in with some History Guy and it's like I'm watching my subscription list.
WELL THAT WAS WEIRD!
Thank you for siting one of my other favorite channels, "Today I Found Out"!
what a bunch of interesting information
Are we going to see more historical events like these happening in the future? Which one of these events do you think is the best?
No history will expire in the future
Bot
@Petro PIKER bot
@Petro PIKER bout half a second, bot.
I was told about the “Emu War” from my teacher!
I like how this video actually uses respected youtubers
On the same vein as the Bear I can’t spell the name of, the commander in Chief of the Polish King’s Guard is a penguin
Food Theorists debunked the Pepsi entry.
Yooo..the thumbnail tho 😆
Losing a war against a mob of flightless birds still remains one of the darkest times in Australian history.
I learned of the Emu War from PUPPET HISTORY! Shout out to the Professor, Shane and Ryan!
That poor bear had so much freedom spent most of its life caged up in a zoo. Check his history online. Would wave at people, very lonely.
They left out many stories of his time in the Polish army. He was a good bear. At least he retired safe and fed.
Nope. Polish soldiers how live in Edinborguh after war, he go to meet with him and drink beer, He jump to his cage and wrestling with him. We never go alone ours friends.
I would like to thank the CZcams channel "oversimplified" for teaching me all about the emu war.
Everyone: No Poland, you can't enlist a bear into your army
Poland: YoU CaN't HaVe A BeAr In YoUr ArMy
watch mojo is a good channel
I can't stop laughing at the thumbnail 🤣
you could make a whole list of ridiculous and wierd wars, theres plenty of them xD
The British officer who carried a bow and claymore sword in world War 2
The one about Napoleon and the rabbits was my favourite. I wonder if the emu war inspired Rod Hull?
I think it inspired the road runner cartoons. That "road runner" looks far more like an emu than a road runner!
The funny thing is that the emu war wasn’t a one time occurrence because it happened twice
Ok number 2 is hilarious 😂
poison as a performance enhancing drug lmao!
Wojtek!
I know about the Emu War thanks to Oversimplified😊
Wojtek is my favorite story of WW2.
I knew about the Emu War, but not the others.
Everyone whom talks about the Emu War,forgets that humans ultimately won due to the bounty that was placed on Emus after the "battles" ended.
You know what I liked about this video the most? The use of Various CZcamsr snippets that I watch quite a lot!😀😉😛
That channel today I found out is amazing and everybody should check it out...Simon has a lot of channels and they all are really
THE EMU WAR!!!!!!!!!!
Emu During the War: " Peace Never Was an Option". Also: Honduras and El Salvador were in war due to a Soccer Game, CIA using Cats to Spy Soviet Embassy, Noriega quits the President of Panama when he was harassed all the Night With Rock and Metal Music ( Noriega hated the Rock), Mormon has a lot Personal Information about the majority human being.
The pig war is a weird piece of American history. Oversimplified did a video on that one
That thumbnail has real Urban Rescue Ranch vibes.
Napoleon: "Now I know how Klingons feel about tribbles!"
One of my favorite events was the great maple syrup heist the thieves got away with $17 million and almost all of the Canadian Maple syrup
Anti-Comet Pills...!? That's one for Ripley's Believe it or not. 🤷🏿☄
Shout out to the history guy getting used by watchmojo list!
7:52 agree that it is odd that they didn't write out jokes about it..... almost makes you wonder if he had mocked the absurdity of such a thing happening not long before it did, and they didn't want to bring similar bad luck upon themselves
Yes my country Australia made it woo we’re on there let’s go
My grandfather served with wojtek
I rented a cabin from a lady who had Emus. Nasty, grumpy birds!
I see the word "Emu" I click.
I ACULLY KNEW ABOUT THE EMU THING
Dan Cummins did a podcast (Timesuck) episode about the emu war it's pretty funny
I'm going to make a feature film called 'High School Shooting the Musical' in 2024
My favorite part was when nepoleon was attacked by bunnies😂😂😂😂
wow yall been using a lot of footage of Simon this year,
...ima let him know :D
I'm always first to make a comment
the great emu war was lost twice
Simon!
Napoleon chasing by bunnies 🐰 funny and cute
Where is the "Battle of Karánsebes" during 1788's Austro-Turkish War?
Where a part of the Austrian Army battled each other, after a Austrian Soldier mistakenly shot at someone.
Nick Fury says Pepsi shoulda given their fleet to SHIELD.
Thanks to professor McNasty you already learned about the great emu war
The most interesting thing about this video is how many other CZcams channels it steals content from
#1 is confirmed fakely recorded. Sure they had a fleet, but a very small one and definitely not top 6.
Aeschylus, survived the battles of Marathon and Salamis to be killed by a turtle.
They need to make a video game where you play as the emus and take over Australia.
