I cannot they bring up the “dancing until they died people in France” so often in casual conversation Ryan just casually mentions it during the episode not knowing that is exactly what it’s all about
That was hilarious. He never even considered that the episode would actually be that even as he was in it.
Exactly what I thought!!😂😂😂
for them truly is a no-brainer
Its a little after 7:30 if you guys wanna know
It's like starting a convo with cannibalism in history.
“a disease where they sweat for a few days until they die” “what were the symptoms?” “they sweat a lot” “how long did it last?” “ a few days”
Honestly 😂
Ryan out here asking the REAL questions.
his questions really are deep
Me doing a history test :
Hey lads just got called racist at Gregg's
Ryan: that’s like the people that danced until they died in France
Prof: :O
Ryan: :O
Prof: Oh yeah, I heard of them
7:39
Lol. The Professor knows it, he's mocking Ryan for not catching the drift.
Unsolved 😎
YEAH YOU DIPSHIT.
Aye
"Oh my God, this is the instance where people danced until they died in France!!"
"Yeah, you dipshit!"
"HOL-ay, fuck you!"
This interaction is literally Shane and Ryan's relationship 🤣
I just had an idea that would shake Ryan to his core.
A hotdog puppet.
YEEEESSSSSS
DM him on insta!! 🤣
OMG YES
😮
I just want him to he doing one of these videos and he just has pam show up as a puppet randomly to freak ryan out.
He did it, he finally talked about the french people who danced till they died
Miniman We got what we wanted. Finally, we can rest knowing what happened!
dance until you're dead
So thats what that song is about.
I saw the title and freaked!! It took them long enough. Hehe.
after years of waiting..god bless
Jermaine’s hysterical joy when he found the professor’s jellybeans was fantastic
that was my favorite part!
That little moment gave me so much joy! He was so amused.
He even appreciated the prop work. Jermaine has all the joy for everyone
"Those are my special snacks!" Killed me
Jermaine is such a sweetheart he enjoyed himself so much! 😭
They should have Shane on the show sometime, I think he and The Professor would get along.
I think they have some sort of beef, they‘ve been lowkey avoiding each other, and Prof. McNasty has said that he doesn‘t even know who Shane is? Kinda sus ngl
@@tairneanaich not to mention the Prof keeps hitting on Shane's girlfriend. definitely going to cause some problems
@@kaskaskas Oooo i smell beef goin' on
@@kaskaskaswait, the prof was hitting on Shane's gf? When was this?? Who is his gf? I'm so sorry to bug you I'm just very confused and want to know the context for this!
(ФωФ)b
@@TatertottwentysevenSarah is Shane's girlfriend. Every time she has been on the professor flirts with her.
It's so pure how hard Jermaine laughed when he opened the professor's bag and found jellybeans.
The timestamp is 5:06 btw
@@derpy973 Excellent. A needed addition. Thank you.
5:23 their laughs are so adorable
@@mikmik3697 iíiiiiki
I hope he visits the show again. He looked like a giant kid having so much fun while learning. Its adorable
the amount of effort Shane puts into this is really impressive? The lil jellybeans in the bag, the purple light cue, the research he put into dirt-eating death method, the entire character he made for the sponsored bits, the whole song??? he’s got a real talent for this stuff
That song is legit incredible
well to be fair the puppet in the sponsor segment was recycled from the episode about the diamond necklace ( th-cam.com/video/3u2FauOIPh8/w-d-xo.html ) but otherwise yeah i 100% agree
It's spectacular!
the professor we needd!!!
It's just freaking amazing okay?? He deserves all love #shaniacforever #thedevilsawhiteman
'kinda similar to the people who danced till they died'
Shane: 'yeah I've heard of them'
the zooming in... I died haha
I’ve rewatched that part 10 times now LMAOOO
*The Professor
shane's not in this episode, at least i didn't see him
nah, that's obviously the devil
Buzzsaw Enthusiast same thing, different shapes
“Ignore the hand.”
“Who’s hand is that?”
“It’s God!”
(Ryan, aside) “God’s a white man...”
(Shane, panicking) “Oh, it’s the Devil!”
I didn’t know what to expect from this, but I already love it!
In other words HATE SPEECH against whites is acceptable.
@@JediLeeRon huh?
time stamp?
@@keaton3894 1:02
@@JediLeeRon stay mad 👍
I like how Ryan’s go-to dance move is angrily churning butter
I laughed so hard at this, thank you
It’s the perfect dance move for his objective: the right moves for a plague! 😁 He also captures the mood / emotion well: anger! 😁
Madison Perry I’ll ok
mood
I laughed more than I should've.
*buzzfeed unsolved fans rejoicing as shane finally gets to talk about the dancing plague*
We’ve been waiting years for this
YES
it's been 5000 years
i audibly gasped and started repeatedly saying THEY DID IT THEY DID IT
Yep
Ryan: kinda like those people who danced till they died
Professor: *suprised professor face*
Ryan almost burst the bubble for this whole episode hahaha
@@claris_ooi his moment of realisation was hilarious tho hahah
@@kiersten7013 yeah that's my fav part lol
I started wheezing when he said that
@@kylenfranklin5283 we don’t care
“It was a disease where you would sweat for several days until you died.”
“What? What were the symptoms?”
“You’d sweat a lot.”
“How long would you sweat for?”
“A few days.”
The matter-of-factness followed by the ominous musical sting is the funniest thing to me.
Jermaine is like the BEST hype man for all of your jokes, can he be in every episode?? Also this is def my fav Watcher content, please make 20 million more
Right?? It's the best when the guest is just like /legit/ having a blast and getting into the weirdness bc it's like having a substitute for us viewers there I think? Idk but yeah he was such an awesome guest I want 100s more of these 😭
He AND Kate Peterman! 😀😀😀
Kate Peterman was an amazing guest too! Imagine an episode where it was Ryan, her and Jermaine. The energy could not be contained!
@@TheIkhsan7 100%, I adore her as well
@@m.n.2971 totally agree, it would be so chaotic & wonderful to have all three of them together
shane's kid in like 15 years: hey dad I got a history test can you he-
Shane: HOLD ON I'LL GET THE PUPPETS
"CALL RYAN!!!"
Ryan: Jesus Christ.
Aww I love this.
This is a really fun way to learn history no matter what your age is
omg i love this! this is adorable!
jermaine: breathes
the professor: extra points to jermaine!
Shane went full mean Dumbledore here.
I’d do the same he’s a delight
the professor: breathes
jermaine: WHEEZE
That would be me too, though! Jermaine is precious
Of course, he's cool af. Even his name is smooth.
Anyone realize that it was actually Shane who had told Ryan about the men dancing in France in the first place? He remembered that. 4yrs back in 'toxic death of Gloria Ramirez' ep of buzzfeed unsolved.
That's also why he thought it was massive hysteria thing
Wait, really? I have to look this up now
Yes I remember that episode!
Theres also the bit in the Jack the Ripper episode where Ryan wonders if they had true crime shows back then, maybe "with like little puppets" and Shane gets very thoughtful. Shane Madej Cinematic Universe has a long and respected history
This is the reason why I'm here, lol
That's some fucking lore memory. Damn impressive
I laughed so hard when Ryan accidentally correctly guessed the topic of the episode. But nothing will be better than the moment he realized it.
I was looking for this comment as soon as he realised, thank you 😭😂
7:34 because I like that part
15:17 moment he realized it
it was about time, Shane always goes on about it anyway lmao
"WAIT A SECOND!!"
-ReAlIzAtIoN-
Took you a minute dip shi
HOLY SH- and Fudge you
Shane:“A bunch of people died and their skin fell off” Ryan: “baller”
grace and Jermaine be like: 😲"oh my God!"
*because of syphilis! Can’t forget the syphilis
I dont know what was better: Jermaine's hysterical delight over the Professor's jelly bean or his reaction to God
Part of me thinks he's kinda religious with that reaction, lol. Dude looked shocked
@@2122Hellfire i dont know about that because no one expects a sock puppet of God to look like THAT. Like Jermaine says, he looks like a Bloodborne character/monster
stop
@@lazy7758 stop what??
I haven’t watched this channel/video before and this comment gave me whiplash (in a good way I think)
Prof.: you’d just sweat for a few days until you died
Jermaine: what were the symptoms?
Ryan: how long did it last?
I didn’t even realize lol 😂 that’s funny
Sounds like school
This is my favourite comment are u a virgo
@@IndianaJonas96 Gemini :)
That is accurate to how actual students, especially adhd ones, respond to being given exact info
I love how Ryan simultaneously acts like he doesn't care about the Prof's game while also getting super competitive
Hobi Hope HAHAHAHAHA YESS
He wants his jelly beans
@@pillbugheart who doesn't
@@cheddacheese32 omg
R u ARMY?
“i’m gonna go with C. kinda similar to those people that danced till they died in france”
*intense stares*
“oh yeah i’ve heard of them”
@PBJMan uhhh... tbere are many who knows about this already. Dont need to watch this show to know everything.
7:36
@PBJMan no i didnt. You are claiming these people only know fhese things cuz they watched the video
@PBJMan just... let people comment?
The professor: Have you guys ever been pushed to the brink
Jermaine: No, not yet
May 2020: Oh honey, you’ve got a big storm coming
Is that a quote from Trixie Mattel?
There actually was a laughter epidemic. It happened in 1962 at an all girls school in Tanganyika, Africa. Symptoms included lightheadedness, respiratory issues, fits of screaming and uncontrollable crying, rashes, restlessness and the urge to run around aimlessly, and even extreme flatulence. members at the school were affected. The laughter spread throughout the village to as many as 1,000 people, 14 schools were forced to close.
I knew I had heard of it somewhere!
I'm sorry, extremely flatulence???
Women, am I right?
(seinfeld theme that becomes more and more demented)
do you know the country?
@@registeredjopperTanganyika is now called Tanzania
2019: Skin cleared, crops watered.
2020: *All the crops died.*
I love how "All the crops died" was said in a falsetto voice and no evidence of them deciding it, like it was unanimously agreed upon
And then the one where they did it in a deeper voice
For some reason it reminds me of “all the birds died”.
I love how long it took Ryan to realise that it was the dancing plague
sorry can we just all acknowledge how genuinely good shane is at writing songs?? every episode he comes up with these and i’m always genuinely impressed
jillian dierickse yooo Shane’s songs SLAP. his lyrics flow insanely well together!! 😫🔥🔥
My partner said the same thing! After every musical guest we’re so impressed and I’ve 100% gotten at least one of them stuck in my head
So good! He needs to drop an LP
Agreed! I would 100% but an album of his songs.
They're bops for sure, & didn't he say he records them in his closet? Wild.
"Like bedbugs, pinkeye, Tampa Florida, and also the rest of Florida" might be my favorite lyric from any wrap-up song in this series ever-
But also when god returns to sing broadway with that dead horse
I forget that the professor is Shane's puppet and not his own living entity
Fun fact: this is such a common psychological phenomenon with puppets! Once Elmo “testified” in front of congress and initially they were wondering why the hell the audio was so bad initially. Turns out, they put the mic on Elmo. And not, you know, The guy under the table voicing and puppeting Elmo.
@@99fireandice Elmo was... testifying in front of Congress ??...
@@norafassler5183 tis the real question
Lol me too
Who's Shane? What puppet? What?!
1. Jermaine is amazing
2. I know the professor's face doesn't move, but when Ryan said it reminded him of the people in France, I swear I could see the professor's life flash before his eyes
3. I want that song to play at my funeral
Jermaine's my favourite guest so far! He seems super excited to be there and works really well with Ryan and Shane (ahem, The Professor).
@@dragonwings36 I thoroughly enjoyed him but my favorite is the one girl on one of the first episodes (maybe the first episode, can't remember). She was awesome
Myndi Gibbs they’ve all been really great for sure!
@@myndigibbs9300 Yes, she (Kate) is amazing! (anyway that was the second episode)
@@TheIkhsan7 Yes! That's her! Love her. We need us some more Kate👏

Petition for a shirt with just the words 'all the crops died'
@xxakanebloomxx yessssssssssssssss
Shane did this whole thing because Ryan called him a liar when he referenced this in the Gloria Ramirez unsolved episode 4 years ago lmaooo don’t mess with the patient ones
I haven’t even finished this episode yet but it’s already the best one:
1. We finally got the dance plague episode
2. Buttmeat’s delight
3. The pile of diamonds is back
What more could I ask for
Edit:
4. Ryan’s face when he realized what the episode was about
5. God
"5. God" is a mood.
I hope the pile of diamonds is going to be recurring character.
6. Jellybeans in the satchel
6) Professor McNasty
"But then everybody got syphilis, and a bunch of people's skin fell off!"
Ryan: Baller
That was hilarious.
it’s so funny to see how optimistically competitive ryan is in these early episodes and then to watch the transition of his slow decent into bitter madness
It's weird to see a light in his eyes
Now he’s a traitor 😤
He got Joker-fied
Kind of like marriage!!!💑
@@mauricedavis8261 not seeing how ‘optimistically competitive’ would be a broad descriptor for marriage but ok ig
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 5 points and Jermaine had 4. Ryan actually won for the first time in this video
OMG HAHAHAHAHHA U R KILLING ME!
Actually someone beat you to the punch for seasons 1 and 2, for most of them he actually did win.
🫘
Excuse me but the algorithm decided he didn't win, we trust the algorithm in this house
Hey I found your comment! 😂
Ryan: kinda like those people who danced till they died
Professor: oh yeah I’ve heard of them
Love you guys💗😂
I love watching this because you can clearly see how used to shane's shit ryan is & then there's the special guest who is just vibing like what's going on? what's he gonna do?
Shane is ridiculously talented. I can’t even imagine the amount of time he puts into researching, writing, creating props, and planning the timing of his “effects”. This is my favorite thing on TH-cam right now and I watch them over and over
SAME! I stay for the songs and learn history along the way, and rather more interesting history too!
@@sinistercrafty86 if school was like this more people would pay attention
@@waitaminute-113 agreed
I mean you kinda has too when your lively hood depends on it, he dumped his own person funds into this company he’s not about to go bankrupt. Of course he’s going to put his all into it do you not know how a business works?
@@MB-sj2yu fist time i heard about that. that settles it, i'll rewatch each episode and never skip ads.
I just realized while rewatching this... The Professor can't actually see cause hes a puppet so Shane judged that dance off purely by description and vibes
I’m pretty sure he just let Jermaine win. I don’t think there was any actual judging.
I actually never thought about this. The Professor is just like Randy Feltface, portrayed so animatedly that you forget this is a puppet and not a sentient, living being.
Ryan: "Kinda like those people who dance till they died."
The Professor: *surprised Pikachu face*
Not to be that person but how does this have so many likes and no replies 🤨
@NoobPrePro why should they?
Ryan: **pretending not to care about the Professor’s point game**
Also Ryan, when Jermaine gets a point for nothing: *A n G e R y*
suggestion- shane should do the assassination of the archduke ferdinand because the circumstances of the whole thing were INSANE. it's crazy how wrong it went and i think it would make a really good episode!
that'd be cool
i also commented asking about the mad scientist in mark twain cave
omg i read archdick ferdinand bc i watch big mouth
Assassination of Ferdinand led to the creation of hentai, that would be an interesting topic to cover.
@@jhfdhgvnbjm75 1. Assassination of Archduke led to WW1.
2. When WW1 ended, people in the losing side got mad.
3. Hitler gets elected and WW2 starts.
4. Japan bombs Pearl Harbor.
5. USA attacks Japan.
6. They bring leisurely items, among which are comics, some 18+
7. Japanese like the comics and draw what is called hentai.
8. Officials angry at that, tell them to remove such art, or censor them.
9. Some artist censor it, as shown by the famous pixels, or by black lines. Some not happy.
10. It also led to tentacle hentai, since tentacle isn't a male penis, ergo, they found a loophole.
11. Hentai gets shipped to USA, and some people like it.
Ergo, assassination of Archduke led to the popularity of hentai.
@@jhfdhgvnbjm75 Yes, I agree. I actually used the wrong words for it. His assassination led to hentai being popular and evolving into what it is now.
jermaine saying that shane put so much thought into his character bc he had jelly beans in his little satchel is so funny 😭 now more than two years later and we have an entire lore with so much left to unpack
Man, the image of Ryan getting all excited when he realized this story was about the dancing plague in France and having the puppet just call him a dipshit was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in awhile
Can we just....Shane's talent in composition....is so darn impressive. Like every single song on puppet history is a BANGER! They should release an album of these on streaming platforms
Don't let him see this.
HONESTLY THOUGH
All his songs in hot daga were pretty damn catchy as well
YES I NEED A PLAYLIST
he wrote all the songs & lyrics himself, right? that's incredible!
i need Jermaine back as a guest HE WAS SO DELIGHTED BY IT it made he show even more of a pleasure to watch
He loved it just as much as Kate
two more seasons have come and gone but still no Jermaine
Where is he?
tombstone with "RIP (but in french)" is something i'd want as an enamel pin
Momento Mori
@@Some_Gurl1353
“Remember you will die.”
@@clunkyinc.5156 Memento Mori, Unus Annus
I love it but it’s extra funny bc not only is “RIP” already in Latin anyway and doesn’t change for local languages, but Strasbourg was on the border and always being conquered by France or Germany over and over, so it very well could have also been in German (or some other regional dialect) and I kinda want a pin with “RIP but in French or German idk”
I lost it when he said "WELL YOU NEVER TOOK THE INITIATIVE RYAN!"
i like the likes
I hate how much I love Shane’s songs. I don’t want a song about the dancing plague told through the eyes of god in my head all day.
You mean the eye of God, right?
I like your comment but you have 666 likes so I’m not going to hit like
I haven't been in stitches laughing over anything as much as this in months, swear to, um, God. 🤣
This is such a huge payoff to literal years of side jokes, and I'm going to do it, I'm going to cash in this season's one and only... *chef's kiss*

Underrated comment!! HAHA
"have you ever been pushed to the brink?"
"has the universe ever just challenged you?"

@@needaccount94I think they mean the pandemic lol
When Jermaine went “Aww” after The Professor said that the history lesson was concluded, I felt that
Lucifer's indulgence sounds like a euphemism for weed
Or expensive perfume
I like the idea of a coffee shop. But that's just me.
@@stephaniewozny3852 oooooo i would DEFINITELY go to a coffee shop called "lucifer's indulgence"
Honestly it sounds like either a sex thing or chocolate to me
@@mksabourinable I was about to comment something along those lines.
So two things: first, I love that the final message in the season was that in the midst of a plague a community banded together to take care of their sick. Probably not intentional when you started this but an excellent thing to take away for the current pandemic. Second, how did Shane see and therefore judge the dancing for the tiebreaker because there doesn't appear to be eye holes from backstage. Can he see through the Professor's eyes? That's deeply terrifying. Love this show and you guys!!!
That was nice. Unfortunately I'm in Morgan County Colorado which has the highest infection rate in the state because everyone here is crazy Republicans who think the virus is a hoax and refuse to wear masks 🤦♂️ does this qualify as natural selection?🤣
BarneyMiller Speaking as an ex-pat from Mississippi: yes.
Ya i kinda thought so 🤣🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure he has a small screen somewhere backstage. I've seen it in a past episode.
@@bestb.6724 But that screen is the script he's reading from, and probably also his light controls. I'd agree he just avoids giving it to Ryan if he can and when it comes down to a tie breaker, the guest is gonna win.
WHEN RYAN GUESSED THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EP AND IT ZOOMS IN ON THE PROF AND THEN HE GOES CASUALLY "oh yeah i've heard of that"
Lmao it looked like Ryan's life flashed in front of his eyes when he realised the story was THE PEOPLE WHO DANCED TILL THEY DIED IN FRANCE
reminds me of the look in his eyes when he realized the lengths that shane went to create Dr Goondis
It sure does after the many times he brought up those people in France that danced until they died every time mass hysteria is brought up in a Buzzfeed Unsolved episode

I want one!! but if it doesn't come with jelly beans I WILL dance til I die
Shane should do Lincoln's Assassination next because that shit was CRAZY. It was planned like way back when Lincoln was courting his wife and this guy had a whole plan with like 10 people involved but it didn't work. Also this dude legit JUMPED down the boucany onto the stage then yelled in Latin. Lmao wHAT
they could also do the Baltimore Plot which was a failed attempt to kill Lincoln...his guys kept trying to protect him and Lincoln kept being like "lmao no"

Jermaine losing his mind over finding jelly beans in the Professor's bag is so pure and delightful. 😆
I just remembered they had a dance off in front of a puppet that can’t see, to determine the winner.
maybe theres little cameras in his eyes so that shane can watch on a little screen...😏👀
Maybe Shane was peaking around the curtain/stage
Or maybe, The Professor is an actual living being...
@@arianimates79 I mean, at this point i wouldn’t be surprised
He said in the last episode “I hear a bunch of writing…and and see it with my two functioning eyes”. So clearly he can see.
I feel like Jermaine is genuinely enthusiastic about participating, and that makes me so happy. I love Puppet History and sometimes I feel like the audience isn't as invested as I am, haha
I don't think Steven Lim was invested. That's why they've had guests for every episode since the first. ;-) And *those* guests have always had a great time!

Things are bad right now, but not bubonic plague bad. Idk if this will have as profound of an effect on us other than increased paranoia and highlighting some of the flaws in the way we handle healthcare. (Specifically American perspective here obviously)
Comparing COVID to the Black Plague is a laugh.

A /dancing/ plague?~
I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW THIS
True! Yay! Finally ❤
I was just gonna comment that-
Also, do I see jisung?!
I can't fucking believe this. I watched way too much buzzfeed and needed to know about the dancing till they died thing. Clicked the first video and boom Ryan and Shane on a different channel talking about it. Lmfao
Yupp, 4 whole years after the episode Shane mentioned it in.
The timing of this video is so uncanny, I'm afraid people are going to start dancing in June
No it should be July 14th! Everyone write it down in your calendars XD
@@j.pnewcomer1069 oh god you're right
Why
who wants to make a facebook event for june 12
Why do you think people have latched onto TikTok?
Jermaine’s a gentleman, and his chemistry with Ryan when they say ‘All the crops died’ suprised me. He was so nice. I’d love to see him again
Definitely!!! Please bring him back!
I was so surprised to see him!! I loved Sorry to Bother You
Me toooo
Seriously!
Plus his absolutely precious all-out excitement and laughter were wonderful! I love people who aren’t self-conscious about enjoying themselves
I can't believe two episodes of the first season of Puppet History, filmed before the quarantine and corona, are about plagues
Woah wait... conspiracy... they created this virus just to make a puppet history about it but real time.
all hail the watcher
Im unsure if you are kidding or not, but i think we had like a few months heads up before we had to go into quarantine bc we weren't sure if it would hit north America
This was in May, this was *during* quarantine.
@@AustinJASMR they filmed their content before quarantine. Most of this season and their other shows were filmed before they launched their channel. This stuff isn't filmed and edited same day it's published.
props to the animator for keeping up the animations in the puppet stage even during wide shots
Honestly Ryan should've gotten an extra history point for guessing the topic of the video
I say he should've lost a history point for taking nearly 15 minutes to state the obvious.
Implying that it’s not rigged against Ryan lol
Also that would mean Shane wouldn't have blessed us with that puppet pikachu face
If he were a guest he would've
Its Shane. He just has to make Ryan lose. :)
*Us:* WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE DANCING PLAUGE
*Shane, 3 years later:* Ok
*Us:* FINALLY, OUR TIME HAS COME
fuck its been three years already?
Kjersti Fretheim ikr
And Ryan didn't even realize it until halfway through
FACTS
Kjersti Fretheim youre yday day was
Everybody rn: this has to be the worst time in history
The professor: Let me tell u a thing about bad times
We need to be looking to the pandemics throughout history and the events that followed to know what to expect
I could see something like this happening in my home country (the US) once things go back to "normal" because we also have severe social stratification, corrupt political leaders, and are looking at bad years for farming what with the global climate change
1517: the bad year
2020: I’m about to ruin this man’s whole career
Wafa 2020 is gonna be the season finale
jermaine has literally been my favorite guest so far, he just seems so hyped up about it all
So you're telling me God is the one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater?
yes
Oh what a sight to see
Sounds legit
dear god i hate that song
Sure seems strange to me
Shane’s resume is stacked, he can tell history, do comedy, puppetry, host, and music!!
He can do EVERYTHING
Don't forget the hot dogga, he wrote that himself
Will Jay
Yes never forgot
Also the fact that he HASN'T MENTIONED ITS OR IF ITS GOING TO START UP AGAIN
Please don’t forget that he’s also a demon
And dungeonmaster
ryan : god’s a white man huh?
shane : oh, i mean, it’s the devil!
this made me laugh so hard
Jermaine: you really know your audience huh?
That made me laugh so much 😂
Shane is satan confirmedz
The Professor having jellybeans in his bag will never Not be the cutest and most wholesome thing.
"god is a white man"
"oh. no, this is the devil"
"oh yeah you know our audience"
i appreciate y'all
1:03
Just think about how often we call Shane a demon and it makes this so much funnier
and then Shane showed us what God really looks like haha
@@TheLastJack oh shit i read your reply and now i get the second half of the joke, i just thought they were calling their audience racist or something lol
God is actually a pink monster. Racism is now dead!!
The Professor handing out points like he’s the host of Who’s Line is it Anyway 😂
420 likes.
Nice
That was already said by the special guest in a previous episode you joke thief
Gorlina Monke
Huh?
Ok. Hear me out. Footloose but it’s rewritten so that it’s about the dancing plague
Bro I was literally thinking that through the entire episode!!!!!!!!!!
big suggest 'The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals' from starkid
bernummm Oh hell yes
Yessssss
@@sharksgrr PAUUUUUUUUL
Jermaine being so delighted by the jellybean satchel is exactly my reaction to this whole series. Shane did not have to go this hard and we're so blessed he did. It's just so wholesome.
“Let’s shake it out.”
Professor: *Vibrates Furiously*
I may have mimicked it after I saw that 😂
"It's God!"
"God's a white man, huh?"
**brief panic**
"It's the devil!"
Shane I adore you 😂
The "yeah there we go" made me scream laughing
He gets what his fans think of him. Love the guy.
"You know your audience" lmao
You know, I've watched this episode at least twice, and I've finally figured that the brief panic, besides being because God damnit he isnt a white/ man/ at least (look at this point I'll take a white woman (tho not white preferred) God just please not a white man.), the puppet. The puppet is God and that definitely ain't no white man
@@animaloversammy who cares if god is white or not? Like nothing would be wrong if he was white or any other color cause he is god he can be what he wants. I don't understand why you hate the idea of a white man being god.
Jermaine when he loses: I'm a good sport
Jermain when he wins: YEASSSS! THAT'S RIGHT
IMMA HISTORY BUFF :)
Can anyone explain why there was a shot of Shane Madej in the corner of the screen at 3:32? Is he like a helper for the professor?
I think it's just an editing glitch where someone accidentally spliced some footage of him into the video. Maybe it's a prank or smth
He’s the estranged producer, so he might have just been on set
well yeah the professor is a puppet, hes small so he has to stand on someones shoulders i think
He’s probably just the tech support for the professor, yk doing his lights and curtain pulling, stage hand stuff :)
