by the way, as a classicist, its hilarious to me that they've cited Hesiod for a good portion of the last episode, because Hesiod was a satirical poet that just so happened to write really early. Like Homer was the serious poet who wrote masterpieces like the Iliad and Odyssey, and Hesiod's entire credibility is largely centred around the fact that he was the only other guy in ancient greece writing in the same early era as Homer, he's regarded as a joke among classicists
Even though James doesnt drink alcohol. I reckon he should still join in with a non alcoholic beer or beverage just to keep him in the loop of the game rules lol
when I was young my brother found this super obscure party game. I think it was called Party Panic it barely worked but there was a drinking game you could play in it and was is more wholesome then a Dad and his 11 and 9 year old children playing a drinking game My Dad got a massive pint glass and if you lost the mini game you chug a pint of water and the game will not pause for you to go pee. James could do something like that, Instead of being drunk just be in desperate need to pee

Depending on the timeline of the story, Zeus was likely in hiding because his father, Kronos, ate his kids in an attempt to prevent his fall and Zeus was the only one to escape getting eaten. Later resulting in Zeus recruiting multiple Titans and monsters to fight Kronos and his army of Titans, and Zeus saving the devoured Olympians. Edit: Unrelated note: Hindu mythology describes the existence of supernatural weapons controlled by Brahma that were essentially ultra-nukes and contaminated the land for over 30 trillion years. Another note: Greek gods are often represented as very human, which is why they often have “accurate” body types and are not exactly the most benevolent gods with their incredible pettiness.
Gods thoughout most of human history are not necessarily benevolent, they're more to teach stories and morals, or they're used as a plot device for the human hero. Even in the judeo-christian beliefs, god is not or has not always been benevolent. In Polytheistic religions theres almost always a god that is mischevious or vengful. It's always interesting the conotation that modern society puts on gods and Deities as always being kind and taking care of humans when for the most part that's our characterization. And this is completely outside of the discussion of aliens.
@@rexana_rexana That’s true that the primary purpose of the stories is to teach but, I always find it funny looking at the interpretations of the Greek gods and how they really weren’t good beings from our modern perspective.

You guys reacting to the image of Khepri, the scarab headed god, was amusing. Khepri is a sun god because scarabs, aka dung beetles, would roll around a ball of poo like how Khepri rolls the ball of the sun across the sky. Also, scarabs lay their eggs in the dung balls but Ancient Egyptians didn’t understand how the scarabs could be born seemingly fully formed from the dung, which led to them connecting scarabs with rebirth and new life. They also connect the sun with rebirth as it rises again each day. Khepri is often just represented by a beetle but it’s way funnier when it’s human body with beetle head. None of the other ancient Egyptian gods I’m aware of just have a full animal on top of a human body lol
If I remember correctly, the Egyptian God's are literally animal headed, it just so happened that instead of placing their sacred animals beside them, Egyptian artist placed the animals on their heads
@@abithefallenhuman921 I think there’s been a miscommunication but idk if it’s just me misunderstanding you or not. Anyway, most Egyptian gods are just depicted with the head as the animal’s head. Eg, Anubis doesn’t have an entire jackal sitting on his neck; he’s just got a jackal head. Khepri would be expected to have the head of a beetle rather than a full beetle if following that trend. However, Khepri just has the entire animal for a head, which is visually much funnier imo.
@@genericname8727 oh sorry, I explained wrong. The animal head depictions aren't saying the Egyptian God's had literal animal body parts, but showing their sacred animal.

Coming up next on History channel: *Ancient Aliens!* In this episode: how the otherworldly beings invented a toothpaste! An unbiased journalist: "Look how is it possible that we humans invented something so advanced as a toothpaste so far back ago......in like ancient times?! We humans are simply too stupid for it!"

I'm getting my masters in archaeology and I wrote my term paper for a colonialism and archaeology class on ancient aliens. Dig just a little bit and you find that they've fully taken colonial racist ideas and replaced a older white race with an alien race. Colonists didn't think non white people were capable of building great monuments so they thought an older group of white people had. Ancient aliens thinks the same just with aliens. They don't question the greeks or Roman's capabilities. Theyre just racist without explicitly referencing race.
It's funny too because as we learn more all their theories fall apart. As a kid there was some question to how these giant stone blocks got moved from MILEs and MILES away from their quaries to the Pyramids, and one of the theories for how it was done so fast was aliens, because no technology could move these blocks by land THAT FAST. Lo and Behold, they later found canals beneith the pyramids, and they believe that during the rainy season these canals would fill, in which time they would move these big stones by BOAT, much faster and more efficient than by man. During the dry season they used the stones they had moved to build the pyramids. Humans are smart, even back to cave paintings, we were smart and understood our environment and community. It's insulting to look at all the work and effort our past people did and say "oh, someone else did it" whether its a white man or an alien, it's flat out insulting (though the added racist touch is always a doozy) sorry for the loong reply, i'll get off my soap box
@@rexana_rexana there is also no reason to think they did it fast either. Ancient aliens gets held up on that a lot. People just took their time and got things done slowly. They mention how modern machines couldn't move certain blocks, but modern machines try to do it fast. Move it a millimeter at a time and you'll get there eventually.
@@mcarter99 while that is true, we do have estimates for how long the pyramids took. The Great Pyramid (the biggest) is estimated to have taken 27 years to complete, which to me doesn't seem like they were moving those blocks one millimeter at a time, lmao. These were burial sites for the Pharaohs, so they kinda needed to be ready for the Pharaohs mummy, because it was bad to unearth the dead from their resting place in ancient Egypt. Humans then may have had the luxury of taking things slowly, but they absolutely did not take it. Ancient civilization wasn't slow or lethargic or unmotivated, they were busy all the time, we just don't have all the records to see into their everyday lives. I think that's fascinating, that no matter the time period, humans have always kinda been busy bodies, always striving for more. It's just cool
@@rexana_rexana im not just talking about the pyramids and yes it was a bit exaggerated. My point is that when ancient aliens can't come up with a way the blocks were moved within a short time frame they assume its impossible. Its certainly not impossible if you allow it to take longer with lots of manpower. Im not saying that people were lazy or less motivated in the past, just that modern machines have made modern people impatient. Doing things slower was out of necessity because they couldn't be done faster. Its no less daily work. There was no option to be slow or lethargic when it took all day to grind wheat for bread.
This show used to scare the heck out of me, when I was a LITERAL CHILD. Heck, I didn't really believe it then either; I just acted like it was a scary movie.
My mom started watching Ancient Aliens a while ago and she genuinely believes every word. She believes in ghosts, giants, and the wackiest conspiracies

I'm waiting for them to say that star wars is actually a documentary and also star trek and the Spock symbol is actually a way of communicating to aliens to say hi
okay for context: during marvel comic's golden years, stan lee and other writers for marvel ended up stealing a lot of ideas from d.c. comics. doctor strange is a ripoff doctor fate, hawkeye is a ripoff green arrow, thor is a ripoff wonder woman, iron man is a ripoff bruce wayne, hulk is a ripoff solomon grundy, thanos is a ripoff dark seid and above all, deadpool is a ripoff death stroke. this isn't an argument of which are better characters, but since marvel began, they were more of a trend follower company rather than a trend setter. i mean, the whole look and concept for spiderman was stolen from a kids halloween coustume so, yeah. marvel is buisness first, stories seventeenth.
@@ActuallyHoudini I mean I don't know how alike some of the characters are and I don't doubt some 'inspiration' was taken from other comic creators but.. Thor is a rip off Wonder Woman is a little stretch couldn't the 'inspiration' be taken from .. the actual Norse god Thor??
@@a_catpurrson2382 The concept of Thor is taken from Wonder Woman. Wonder Women's character relates a lot to Greek mythology and at the time, DC had a lot of characters that were taken from Greek mythology. So Marvel decided to create Thor to take the mythological aspect of Wonder Woman but aim it towards boys. They did eventually end up ripping off the whold Greek Mythology thing with the introduction of Hercules and other Greek gods. DC was the first comic company to base characters on mythology, to my knowledge. And Marvel piggybacking on trends is more than enough for me to see the acheing similarities between the two.
@@ActuallyHoudini come on man its just characters from mythology that DC doesn't own the original idea and neither does Marvel, its was free for the taking
i feel like whoever made this show just wanted to talk about a bunch of random topics but needed to connect them somehow and thought "you know what? ALIENS"
One night I was half asleep with a movie on and Hulu decided to put on ancient aliens after the movie ended. The subject matter was so nonsensical I started laughing, I got up and watched the rest of the episode laughing my ass off. This show is my guilty pleasure.
I'm pretty sure that even if there were stories from indigenous people about aliens that the centuries of genocide and erasure of their culture would make that pretty much lost to time.
George Washington was one of the founders of the galactic plumbers in the documentary Ben 10 Omniverse (2012) And I do believe this makes it obvious that the ancient aliens visited america in the early days.
I love George and all, but I hate when youtubers make jokes at each other and then say "we can't put that in" instead of simply not putting it in. It just makes me want to know what the joke was! 🤣
It would be legendary if you guys watched Horrid Henry the Movie. The drinking game could be whenever a nickname is said, i.e Perfect Peter, Moody Margaret, etc.
It’s amazing to see you guys watching more of this OSCAR Grammy and Emmy award winning show I hope they make more seasons but yet again I can only hope 😔
On the Superman point, I find that his best stories aren’t about his strengths or his physical abilities, but about the struggle to do good in a world made unnecessarily cruel by those with true monetary power.
I feel like thats the whole point of the character. His best story was, imo, when hes just talking to the girl on the ledge. Not fighting aliens or saving the world, just sitting and talking to someone, and giving them hope.
When I was younger, my mother watched this show unironically, and she told me all of this alien bullshit, and 5 year old me always believed it. This show got her thinking she was a pleadian alien lmao
*George, ...you have made my MONTH for this video! Genuinely, THANK YOU so much for doing this again!!* I hadn't laughed in 7 days, until now. *I have non-Hodgkin's along with another very complex cancer that is brutally terminal, on top of a handful of other life-threatening health illnesses.* I am not doing well; Physically, mentally, emotionally, and this made me *properly* "deep belly laugh". *I soooo hope that you are as aware as you should be over JUST how much you help people during their rough times. MAD LOVE AND RESPECT TO YOU!*
I want to see how big the effects folder is for the people who edit these shows. Do they have like 100tb of just stock sounds, images, videos, and effects?
It Sucks. That happened to me too, but it was like, a demon or whatever. Idk, it was speaking in some weird language and It kept making me levitate. Pretty annoying 🙄
its called sleep paralysis, I use to get it when I was younger. You see odd shapeless things because your mind is still not awake yet and have issues moving due to the chemicals our brains uses during REM sleep. Often you get a feeling of someone standing above you or pressing down on your chest and it can be terrifying, not because you are scared in the traditional sense but because it directly bypasses the logic center to causes a flight or fight response.
George questioning if people seriously believed in Greek mythology back in the day makes me think people in 1000 years will say the same about the Abrahamic religions. "People didn't REALLY think Yahweh made the world in seven days and Moses parted the seas and Jesus multiplied food and Muhammad flew on a winged horse, right??"
Considering when this video was posted, you gotta wonder if the Queen’s passing may have had something to do with the discussion contained in its last few minutes…
My friends dad used to watch this and I remember him rambling on about how The government were lying to us about aliens and my 7 year old mind was blown
Ancient aliens tuaght me about morbius, this is what they said: Morbius is the great. Truly the best cinema has to offer, I never expected a live action movie of Scooby Doo to hit me harder than my da-I mean, harder than my failing grades. Truly the best the Forza franchise has to offer with unbelievable graphics stunning visuals, Amorbus really shows you how Walter White who lives at 308 negra arroyo lane thinks by cooking cocainer and getting stage 4 terminal cancer(weird I always thought that was a zodiac sign). Watch as Jesse Purpleman completely causes a bathtub to disintegrate using his makings of a varisty athlete which is also shown by Tony Soprano whom decides to get into a car crash caused by a blown tire which was invented by 7 time Piston Cup Champion, Lightning Mcqueen(Owen Wilson was suspected to be the same person as mcqueen but clearly they are nothing alike). Gran Turismo 7 will show you how a sim racer can simulate everything except my 1 braincell struggling to type this out, truly the pros of this show never stop with so many good things happening such as the end credits. Truly this show exposes Hololive and how Yagoo may be the best girl but it's a long shot, however I wholeheartedly believe that all good things can happen with longshots like the sniper that I wish blew my heas off midway through Morbidly Obese. Truly I have no complaints about the latest installment of the Halo Franchise, Halo I can't Reach the top shelf which I think comes after Halo Infinity gauntlet wielded by my favourite superhero Josh Bowling. Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most race wins in Formula One history, with 103 wins to date, his latest win was achieved in a car(unexpected!!). Truly Lewis shows how hammertime can be achieved however Max Verstoppen won the f1 world championship over him in 2021 by throwing pit cars at him summoning his stand Michael Massi, as you know standing was invented by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure before this people could not stand, much like how my thumb can't stand typing this like Kendrick Lamar after Franklin tells him he can't stay at his crib this angers Kendrick Lamar causing Kendrick Lamar to say Franklin shouldn't hate Kendrick because he is pretty and calls out that if Franklin got of that terrible haircut and how his counterpart may contact him via telephone thus contacting him and stop having sexual intercourse with a brain surgeon or lawyer. Thus a movie with many layers like a onion or a ogre. Whoever said this movie was the greatest installment of the Diary Of Wimpy Kid, you are wrong because morse code clearly is worse than Diary Of A Wimpy Kid:Rodrick Rules. Clearly they captured the essence of that flim but missed the mark slightly. Thus I conclude my review on Morbidly Morbus Amogus Amorbus A bus, simply wonderful with incredible gameplay and a surreal experience provided by the IMAX theatres that'll take your breath away like Berlin's hit song "Take My Breath Away" from the hit movie Top Gun which takes place on Earth which morbius doesn't since morbius takes place in New York often confused with Earth and along with Mississippi. All in all great soap opera I enjoyed the orchestra and thoroughly enjoyed the Kayne West concert in which he played Fellas In Paris 11 times in Paris for over 40 minutes I rate this a ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) out of ඞ.
I like how Jack and George watch an episode specifically about the west and aliens in America and then complain about the entire episode being about America. Like, they coulda said it during any other episode, but they chose this one.
saying during the 'cowboy' episode is silly, but its a running theme with the show, the idea that any technological or social advancement outside of the US must of been the result of aliens helping
@@TheNzFox like I said, it could have been stated during any other episode and it would technically be true. It still does talk about other places though.
I honestly love this show. when I was a kid I legitimately loved it making what if documentaries. But now I love it ironically as like less than 10% of what they're saying has a chance up possible.
So about the part on how they got real scientists on the show. They dont often tell them what show they are going to be on, ask them weird questions and take stuff out of context. Graham Hancock did this for his latest netflix show.
Ancient aliens crew: can you come onto our documentary to take about ancient mythologies and comic books Folklorist: of course Stan Lee: why not Ancient Alien crew: and how they are connected to aliens! Folklorist and Stan Lee: wot!

You should have your own channel.
I am scared they are reading my comments - the aliens.
Commenting to register my membership of the Jack Manifold Appreciation Society. Him and George are consistently the best combo in these videos
I'm getting my masters in archaeology and I wrote my term paper for a colonialism and archaeology class on ancient aliens. Dig just a little bit and you find that they've fully taken colonial racist ideas and replaced a older white race with an alien race. Colonists didn't think non white people were capable of building great monuments so they thought an older group of white people had. Ancient aliens thinks the same just with aliens. They don't question the greeks or Roman's capabilities. Theyre just racist without explicitly referencing race.
It's funny too because as we learn more all their theories fall apart.
As a kid there was some question to how these giant stone blocks got moved from MILEs and MILES away from their quaries to the Pyramids, and one of the theories for how it was done so fast was aliens, because no technology could move these blocks by land THAT FAST.
Lo and Behold, they later found canals beneith the pyramids, and they believe that during the rainy season these canals would fill, in which time they would move these big stones by BOAT, much faster and more efficient than by man. During the dry season they used the stones they had moved to build the pyramids.
Humans are smart, even back to cave paintings, we were smart and understood our environment and community. It's insulting to look at all the work and effort our past people did and say "oh, someone else did it" whether its a white man or an alien, it's flat out insulting (though the added racist touch is always a doozy)
sorry for the loong reply, i'll get off my soap box
@@rexana_rexana there is also no reason to think they did it fast either. Ancient aliens gets held up on that a lot. People just took their time and got things done slowly. They mention how modern machines couldn't move certain blocks, but modern machines try to do it fast. Move it a millimeter at a time and you'll get there eventually.
@@mcarter99 while that is true, we do have estimates for how long the pyramids took. The Great Pyramid (the biggest) is estimated to have taken 27 years to complete, which to me doesn't seem like they were moving those blocks one millimeter at a time, lmao. These were burial sites for the Pharaohs, so they kinda needed to be ready for the Pharaohs mummy, because it was bad to unearth the dead from their resting place in ancient Egypt.
Humans then may have had the luxury of taking things slowly, but they absolutely did not take it. Ancient civilization wasn't slow or lethargic or unmotivated, they were busy all the time, we just don't have all the records to see into their everyday lives. I think that's fascinating, that no matter the time period, humans have always kinda been busy bodies, always striving for more. It's just cool
@@rexana_rexana im not just talking about the pyramids and yes it was a bit exaggerated. My point is that when ancient aliens can't come up with a way the blocks were moved within a short time frame they assume its impossible. Its certainly not impossible if you allow it to take longer with lots of manpower. Im not saying that people were lazy or less motivated in the past, just that modern machines have made modern people impatient. Doing things slower was out of necessity because they couldn't be done faster. Its no less daily work. There was no option to be slow or lethargic when it took all day to grind wheat for bread.
@@mcarter99 oh ok, my bad, I misunderstood!
Memeulous on that Jack Manifold grind 💯💯
This show used to scare the heck out of me, when I was a LITERAL CHILD. Heck, I didn't really believe it then either; I just acted like it was a scary movie.

Not the “experts” using Joseph smith as a reliable source 😂 that ep probably blew some Mormon’s minds
Because if there’s someone whose words I would trust, it’s the man that made Mormonism😂
no fr this fucker just stepped out of the trees w a plate and said hes allowed to marry multiple women, and this show is using that as evidence of alien existence??!
Not even thirty seconds in and there’s a Doctor Who reference
Glad to see the channel’s cultured as always
Got my physics gcse tomorrow and this is the only revision I need
Had mine today , went terribly , hopes yours went Aight
Mine’s on the horizon.
I’m just waiting for ancient aliens to say the alien emoji is evidence that the higher ups at apple are being controlled by extraterrestrials
Just wait 100 years so that there's some ambiguity surrounding it.
I'm waiting for them to say that star wars is actually a documentary and also star trek and the Spock symbol is actually a way of communicating to aliens to say hi

"Stan Lee couldn't of come up with those ideas unless he'd seen them."
that is probably the most accurate statement made in all of this video.
okay for context: during marvel comic's golden years, stan lee and other writers for marvel ended up stealing a lot of ideas from d.c. comics. doctor strange is a ripoff doctor fate, hawkeye is a ripoff green arrow, thor is a ripoff wonder woman, iron man is a ripoff bruce wayne, hulk is a ripoff solomon grundy, thanos is a ripoff dark seid and above all, deadpool is a ripoff death stroke.
this isn't an argument of which are better characters, but since marvel began, they were more of a trend follower company rather than a trend setter.
i mean, the whole look and concept for spiderman was stolen from a kids halloween coustume so, yeah. marvel is buisness first, stories seventeenth.
@@ActuallyHoudini I mean I don't know how alike some of the characters are and I don't doubt some 'inspiration' was taken from other comic creators but.. Thor is a rip off Wonder Woman is a little stretch couldn't the 'inspiration' be taken from .. the actual Norse god Thor??
@@a_catpurrson2382 The concept of Thor is taken from Wonder Woman. Wonder Women's character relates a lot to Greek mythology and at the time, DC had a lot of characters that were taken from Greek mythology. So Marvel decided to create Thor to take the mythological aspect of Wonder Woman but aim it towards boys. They did eventually end up ripping off the whold Greek Mythology thing with the introduction of Hercules and other Greek gods. DC was the first comic company to base characters on mythology, to my knowledge. And Marvel piggybacking on trends is more than enough for me to see the acheing similarities between the two.
@@ActuallyHoudini come on man its just characters from mythology that DC doesn't own the original idea and neither does Marvel, its was free for the taking
Imagine if all the “scientists” in this show are right

@@brazzn lol you beat me to it
@@squatnik8608 please tell me your joking 😬
Once again, love this specific group of people on your channel!
i feel like whoever made this show just wanted to talk about a bunch of random topics but needed to connect them somehow and thought "you know what? ALIENS"
One night I was half asleep with a movie on and Hulu decided to put on ancient aliens after the movie ended. The subject matter was so nonsensical I started laughing, I got up and watched the rest of the episode laughing my ass off. This show is my guilty pleasure.
“The symbol on superman’s chest, a character famously created by Jewish writers, is inspired by Jesus”
These idiots…
I'm pretty sure that even if there were stories from indigenous people about aliens that the centuries of genocide and erasure of their culture would make that pretty much lost to time.

George Washington was one of the founders of the galactic plumbers in the documentary Ben 10 Omniverse (2012) And I do believe this makes it obvious that the ancient aliens visited america in the early days.

The evolution of george’s scouse accent in the ad breaks is what I live for
I love George and all, but I hate when youtubers make jokes at each other and then say "we can't put that in" instead of simply not putting it in. It just makes me want to know what the joke was! 🤣
Once they mentioned Joseph Snith I was like "yeah this is bs"
I feel like they really glossed over that part lmao
It would be legendary if you guys watched Horrid Henry the Movie.
The drinking game could be whenever a nickname is said, i.e Perfect Peter, Moody Margaret, etc.
I sincerely want this to be a series.
5:58 - how did you legitimately just do a better speed running animation than any of the The Flash episodes on the CW
Would love to see them watch ghost hunters
It’s amazing to see you guys watching more of this OSCAR Grammy and Emmy award winning show I hope they make more seasons but yet again I can only hope 😔
On the Superman point, I find that his best stories aren’t about his strengths or his physical abilities, but about the struggle to do good in a world made unnecessarily cruel by those with true monetary power.
I feel like thats the whole point of the character. His best story was, imo, when hes just talking to the girl on the ledge. Not fighting aliens or saving the world, just sitting and talking to someone, and giving them hope.
This man can make an ad entertaining enough to actually to watch and enjoy, gg to you brother
Petition for Memeulous to watch Morbius and -chug a full drink- take a shot every time someone says Morbius.
My granny never misses this show, she genuinely believes it all too
I've rewatched the first video so many times, so I'm doubly hype for this one
Same. Half the people I know have been preached to about alien subterranean bigfoot colonies
When I was younger, my mother watched this show unironically, and she told me all of this alien bullshit, and 5 year old me always believed it. This show got her thinking she was a pleadian alien lmao
Not me going back a year to have a excuse to drink GEORGE ML PLEASE DO ANTHER DRINKING VIDEO
Pissing myself James forehead is massive in this vid 😭😭
*George, ...you have made my MONTH for this video! Genuinely, THANK YOU so much for doing this again!!* I hadn't laughed in 7 days, until now. *I have non-Hodgkin's along with another very complex cancer that is brutally terminal, on top of a handful of other life-threatening health illnesses.* I am not doing well; Physically, mentally, emotionally, and this made me *properly* "deep belly laugh". *I soooo hope that you are as aware as you should be over JUST how much you help people during their rough times. MAD LOVE AND RESPECT TO YOU!*
Wishing you all the best!
Must be tough for George to fight so hard for women's rights
"Could every single example of human imagination and storytelling actually be true?"
The chemistry between George and James is awesome.
I want to see how big the effects folder is for the people who edit these shows. Do they have like 100tb of just stock sounds, images, videos, and effects?
This show is just average American screaming at the walls
i love how james just gradually drifts out of frame the more unhinged the episode gets
The idea of Andy serkis in a mocap suit acting as Stan Lee makes me laugh so much
When I woke up one time I swear I saw an alien holding some device in my room. It wasnt an alien, it was just a ghost :(
It Sucks. That happened to me too, but it was like, a demon or whatever. Idk, it was speaking in some weird language and It kept making me levitate. Pretty annoying 🙄
its called sleep paralysis, I use to get it when I was younger. You see odd shapeless things because your mind is still not awake yet and have issues moving due to the chemicals our brains uses during REM sleep. Often you get a feeling of someone standing above you or pressing down on your chest and it can be terrifying, not because you are scared in the traditional sense but because it directly bypasses the logic center to causes a flight or fight response.
I would love it if we send First We Feast back in time and get ancient people to do the Hot Ones challenge whilst being interviewed
I just love the fucking minecraft sound effects whenever they drink😂😂
Idk if it's just me but I love hearing the sipping sound effect every time
I think memeulous forgot that the drinking game last time was extra-terrestrials and aliens not ancient and aliens
James’ water looks very cold and refreshing, I want a swig
George questioning if people seriously believed in Greek mythology back in the day makes me think people in 1000 years will say the same about the Abrahamic religions. "People didn't REALLY think Yahweh made the world in seven days and Moses parted the seas and Jesus multiplied food and Muhammad flew on a winged horse, right??"
George namedropping John Marston made me way too happy
Considering when this video was posted, you gotta wonder if the Queen’s passing may have had something to do with the discussion contained in its last few minutes…
Omg this is just what I’ve been waiting for! Thank you papa memeulous, now I can sleep tonight!
My friends dad used to watch this and I remember him rambling on about how
The government were lying to us about aliens and my 7 year old mind was blown
my grandma did the same thing. now I just kinda humour her because I love her but she's just too stubborn to accept that she says ridiculous things
Ancient aliens tuaght me about morbius, this is what they said: Morbius is the great. Truly the best cinema has to offer, I never expected a live action movie of Scooby Doo to hit me harder than my da-I mean, harder than my failing grades. Truly the best the Forza franchise has to offer with unbelievable graphics stunning visuals, Amorbus really shows you how Walter White who lives at 308 negra arroyo lane thinks by cooking cocainer and getting stage 4 terminal cancer(weird I always thought that was a zodiac sign). Watch as Jesse Purpleman completely causes a bathtub to disintegrate using his makings of a varisty athlete which is also shown by Tony Soprano whom decides to get into a car crash caused by a blown tire which was invented by 7 time Piston Cup Champion, Lightning Mcqueen(Owen Wilson was suspected to be the same person as mcqueen but clearly they are nothing alike). Gran Turismo 7 will show you how a sim racer can simulate everything except my 1 braincell struggling to type this out, truly the pros of this show never stop with so many good things happening such as the end credits. Truly this show exposes Hololive and how Yagoo may be the best girl but it's a long shot, however I wholeheartedly believe that all good things can happen with longshots like the sniper that I wish blew my heas off midway through Morbidly Obese. Truly I have no complaints about the latest installment of the Halo Franchise, Halo I can't Reach the top shelf which I think comes after Halo Infinity gauntlet wielded by my favourite superhero Josh Bowling. Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most race wins in Formula One history, with 103 wins to date, his latest win was achieved in a car(unexpected!!). Truly Lewis shows how hammertime can be achieved however Max Verstoppen won the f1 world championship over him in 2021 by throwing pit cars at him summoning his stand Michael Massi, as you know standing was invented by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure before this people could not stand, much like how my thumb can't stand typing this like Kendrick Lamar after Franklin tells him he can't stay at his crib this angers Kendrick Lamar causing Kendrick Lamar to say Franklin shouldn't hate Kendrick because he is pretty and calls out that if Franklin got of that terrible haircut and how his counterpart may contact him via telephone thus contacting him and stop having sexual intercourse with a brain surgeon or lawyer. Thus a movie with many layers like a onion or a ogre. Whoever said this movie was the greatest installment of the Diary Of Wimpy Kid, you are wrong because morse code clearly is worse than Diary Of A Wimpy Kid:Rodrick Rules. Clearly they captured the essence of that flim but missed the mark slightly. Thus I conclude my review on Morbidly Morbus Amogus Amorbus A bus, simply wonderful with incredible gameplay and a surreal experience provided by the IMAX theatres that'll take your breath away like Berlin's hit song "Take My Breath Away" from the hit movie Top Gun which takes place on Earth which morbius doesn't since morbius takes place in New York often confused with Earth and along with Mississippi. All in all great soap opera I enjoyed the orchestra and thoroughly enjoyed the Kayne West concert in which he played Fellas In Paris 11 times in Paris for over 40 minutes I rate this a ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) out of ඞ.
To say I am confused is an understatement😂

Came looking for this comment
Me and my dad sometimes sit down and watch these ancient aliens episodes and just laugh at them it's just so stupid and funny
After watching this I had to rethink my whole life because now I know aliens definitely exist
I’ve been looking forward to this moment for so many years 😁
I like how Jack and George watch an episode specifically about the west and aliens in America and then complain about the entire episode being about America.
Like, they coulda said it during any other episode, but they chose this one.
saying during the 'cowboy' episode is silly, but its a running theme with the show, the idea that any technological or social advancement outside of the US must of been the result of aliens helping
@@TheNzFox like I said, it could have been stated during any other episode and it would technically be true. It still does talk about other places though.
@@TheNzFox I mean they are questioning the mounds, which were built in America lol
it wasnt about the single episode, im pretty sure they're talking about the show as a whole and were reminded of that in the american episode lol
memeulous trying to make James laugh is very cool

I'm American and I didn't know there was an American Top Gear cast either lol
I dropped out of school yesterday to watch more ancient aliens, so I can become an full time ancient astronauts theorist. Thanks George.
So about the part on how they got real scientists on the show.
They dont often tell them what show they are going to be on, ask them weird questions and take stuff out of context. Graham Hancock did this for his latest netflix show.
YESS SO GLAD THIS GOT A SEQUEL
