When you've come to realize that these Bullshitteries have always been modern incarnations of Monty Python
stealing 10y old jokes now are we
Why are there so many gentlemen from the colonies?
This one needed a "cop out" ending.
I don't really like the tone of your comment.
🔫 * Shoots you in your own domicile *
@@dragon_ball_sucks_video simply reiterating them.
5:42 the fact they are dancing Ganjam Style gives you a hint on when SovietWomble planned to release the video
OOOOF XD
@@stijngeluk8000🤓
@@stijngeluk8000 Well, they did say planned release, not recording date.
How the hell he crammed 2012 and 2022 in the same video
standard womble
I love how genuinely invested she was in the simulation and poor Womble had to ruin it by reminding her that she was, in fact, playing with bellends.
Well, she would’ve found out sooner or later anyhow
@@zyriantel9601 Yeah he was ruining that surprise for her!
Soviet whens the next videoessay?
Sadly we missed her reaction to seen a prussian infantry charge with Wagner's Valkirye Ride demanding penises
Very transphobic
The Scottish and the English in contact for about ten seconds and a brawl breaks out - this game is so lifelike!
When art imitates reality. It's beautiful 😢
Meanwhile there's me in the middle being half Scottish:
@OneDayOrDayOne_117 You can’t win bud, sorry.
@@konstantinosnikolakakis8125 No, but it will be rare case of Scottish and English beating same person.
@@OneDayOrDayOne_117The English and Scots would stop fighting, point at you and yell
"GET HIM"
"An Aussie, what's your sentence sir?"
Dinklebean is a treasure this world is too pure for.
I'm mr 500 like
“Someone shoot that _bastard_ who thinks he’s a Dragonborn!”
6:59 just reached this ultimate level roast.
Definitely, also with "coronavirus"
He is really living into the era!
can you explain?
The two guys shouting "no fuck you" at eachother has so much monty python Frenchman vibes. Its glorious.
I think it's from the scene in Session 9
They most likely got the idea from a comedy skit video called "Don't Talk to Strangers" by Max Forrest, from a decade ago.
@@friendosymbiosis HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT??
Hey Ezekiel!
"I fart in your general direction."
"I studied the terrain"
"It's sand"
"If it's a windy day we're buggered"
”You don’t think my voice would ruin the immersion a bit you know?”
Last episode: *EY, I'M WALKING HERE!*
Last Episode: Sexual Healing
IM WALKIN HERE
The "for show" on the cannon balls fuckin' killed me. I love it.
They were actually very accurate too doing direct hits like that
MY IMMERSION
It killed a lot linemen as well, HA
Killed a lot of other people, too!
Honestly expected the commander who said that to get hit like a second after
Considering how many times those cannonballs almost hit him, I guess they really were just "for show", they just wanted to be in the video
the cannonballs were paid actors
Definitely paid actors mate.
He died three times
That cannon ball is a spy!
Wait til the grapeshot update
2:30 For those curious, that's actually a bedroll, not a tire. A lot of the time, soldiers in professional armies during the early 18th century and onwards up until the mid-late 19th century didn't have the space in their issued rucksacks to store their bedrolls while on march, and would instead tie them together and wear them like a sash so they didn't have to carry them with their arms. This was mostly seen on the French troops of the 18th century. However, the British, Prussian, and Russian armies were shown to use that concept to some extent as well.
Neat fact! Didn't think I'd learn anything too important, but TH-cam comments always have information to spare
American soldiers did it too, although it was more common with Confederate soldiers, since they sometimes lacked proper rucksacks. The bedroll could be used to store some personal belongings
@@chaosXP3RTit was also extremely common during the Indian wars and during the war of 1812 with militia forces
I was getting SO FRUSTRATED that he didn't know that lol
No. It's a fucking tyre. Stop ruining everything with facts and knowledge.
4:01 The irony of somone nicknamed "social" hiding on a tree to avoid contact with other people is hillarious
ZF anti-social
"There's an Aussie. And what's your sentence, sir?"
I love you, Dinkle. Please, don't you ever change.
I will try! I’ve never been very good at being anyone else!
@@Dinklebean Oh, what a character!
@@Dinklebean a true legend :)
The correct answer: "Not rightly sure sir, never been able to form a full one myself." 😉
Ime stamp please
The reverse text at 2:40 is amazing. No one would have ever expected it, or complained if it wasn't done. Bravo, Womble.
I'm more impressed by the text at 6:19 being covered up by a flag and then blown away by a cannon ball
@@HAXMINATOR Man, I didn't even notice the flag cover the words, that's nuts.
1:23 as well, text behind the flag.
womble has too much free time
Yall just ignoring the Canon ball taking out most of the words? Don't remember the time
@@burn_learnearn_welding7101 isn't that literally what the first reply in this chain was talking about?
Artillery is the greatest thing to be added to this game. The hilarity and terror of seeing the 5 people in line formation vaporizing into a fine mist is a sight
Come on, we know that it's merely for show.
@@Mis7erSevenfr
@@Mis7erSeven*"FOR SHOW"*
well that killed five people
I’m guessing you don’t play with ragdolls
@@lordadorable1140 I do I just hadn't seen anything with the power to launch a body like that since the Cursed Halo Blunderbuss
For those wondering, this is, without exaggeration, what a normal game of Holdfast looks like.
I’ll never forget the time my allies and I stormed a church filled with enemies. As we began to clear each area, I heard an Italian-American voice yell, “hey! I’m repentin’ here!” before a gunshot sounded out and a refined British voice replied, “repent harder.”
Legitimately had to stop to get my laughter out after that.
Really tempting me to start playing it lol
@@MissPoplarLeaf It has a somewhat small but utterly hilarious community.
Genuinely hilarious
A normal day in 40k
are dlc's needed?
The way Womble just goes „oh why not?“ before starting to quack at the end there is absolutely hilarious to me.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I'M QUACKING HERE
Thats it! Give in!!! Succumb to the randomness!
when in rome
mob mentality is one hell of a drug
I love how every so often the most italian american man to every exist just hangs around in the background like the ghost of gabagool
Oh hey
Comments that made me giggle
Hey quills
Wouldn't be the same without him.
You mean KJ? He's from Boston.
10:38 is quite possibly the only thing so far in the entire year to make me laugh uncontrollably. The pure randomness of the soldiers floating the air, as two scottish people charge in with a bayonet; and Kenneth screaming while his character just stands motionless, completely contrasting the player and the character, is just comedy gold.
Isn’t he the one who talks like an funny Boston guy in his other Holdfast vid?
@@zenex5350 yes.
Just imagining to fix a bayonet, to charge one guy but hit another dude
It has been 11 months since the last bullshittery, was it worth the wait? Yes, yes it was.
Indeed :)
It has been 2 years since the last Holdfast bullshittery video.
Editing the text at 6:19 to just get blown away by the cannonball was fantastic
You can say that it's "mind blowing"
I'll see myself out.
Bro, and he even mirrors his text every time he presses V to look behind him lmfao.
”You don’t think my voice would ruin the immersion a bit you know?”
Womble: *cuts to people yelling penis at each other and playing Rossini through a soundboard* ”I don’t think you quite understand this game”
yep it’s official, this is in the top 5 of my personal favorite bullshittery-episodes ever.
With a crackhead player base, there was no immersion to ruin to begin with
Isn't that William tell overture final?
@@matthewmac5787 i thought that it was Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld but i could be wrong
Lol
@@Iku00that's THE BEST part about these games
I love the idea that a "Nations at War" game spelled it "Britian", which makes it seem less like a typo and more like they're avoiding some absurdly-imagined copyright issue.
The English & Scots brawling it down out of nowhere is probably the most immersive moment I've seen in video games in 15 years.
2:30 if anybody is still wondering, that is a blanket roll. Basically an improvised backpack.
or a raincoat or great coat folded up in a special way. Russians still did that in WW2.
@@louisavondart9178 yup, effectively used the same regardless. During American Civil War they were sometimes Gum Blankets or Ponchos.
No, it's attire
It also provide limited protection against sabre cuts on the torso iirc
@@rustler08 Ugh, take your thumbs-up and GET OUT
It's been 84 years I hope Lulu is doing well!
84? You mean 200? Soviet said this was the Napoleonic wars, which ended in 1815 🧐.
Still got 8 nipples.
@@louisrobitaille5810you haven't seen Titanic, I gather
It is the year 4269 CE, life on Earth is dying. Humanity’s hubris and apathy has turned the once lush world into a toxic wasteland. The last remnants of man are stuck on Earth with no way to leave the dying tomb. The last of the remaining resources on Earth were used 500 years prior by the rich in an attempt to flee the planet. The failed launch and subsequent Kessler Effect has trapped the last of mankind to their doomed fate. Our descendants curse our names for the fate we have befallen them.
It is in this year that Soviet Womble releases Part 5 to the DayZ Video Essay.
@@chinsaw2727 But before that he releases Sons of the Forest video.
just seeing them get pelted with “for show” cannonballs has made my day 😂
Same. All whilst demonstrating the true terror of early artillery against Line formation.
The part at 6:02 had me on the floor
"If we kill the French we get peanut butter"
"I got garfield on my lunchbox"
@@oldmate3152 yess
I standby my “merely for show” comment and anything else shall be considered French propaganda.
Carry on, gentlemen. Or what’s left of you.
Weren't you French at the time?
@@ExponentialCirclein the words of Dinkle, "Shut up!"
Sir, I must say, your french accent was on point.
And you make those videos amazing.
Says the man who got his entire line wiped out because he was a blind idiot and didn't pay attention to incoming artillery.
And when we needed him most, he appeared.
took him long enough to do it though
@@Georgeshawwaiancousinthen it means we didn't need him enough
Well he did say in one of the Arma Bullshitteries that it’s easy making a video which takes about 2 days, the rest of the days that’s he is gone he just goes and do wanking sessions.
2 months for a new Womble video isnt that long
@@unknowntheviewer3449 it's been almost a year since his latest bullshittery dude.
7:59 it’s nice to see British people still have a little Monty Python in them for shit like this
9:25 - Famous last words spoken by a British soldier before being shot and killed by a Prussian soldier
I'm always so impressed with the subtitle work in the bullshittery videos. I somehow manage to forget just how good it is between every upload so I'm blown away again each time.
Also the counting of the French and British soldiers and their deaths, plus the people singing Happy Birthday
that's because there's like 3 videos a year xD
I thought this as well when I noticed that the heads and guns of the soldiers were moving behind AND IN FRONT of the text, serious layering work, very high quality
Well he uploads* every 8 years, so i guess it's not that hard afterall
@@NerdyCatCoffeeee Where's the footnote?
5:29 I am actually surprised they made the cannon balls bounce accurately.
ur balls bounce accurately
Artillery's interesting in that game, from what I've watched via streams. A skilled artillery team can rip big holes in enemy lines and tip the balance single-handedly. I've seen a rocket hit take out like 15 guys at once because they were all clumped and the rocket landed right in the middle.
@@jeremywerner9489 "spacing"
Reminded me of that one scene from The Patriot
@@jeremywerner9489 f
6:50 pretty much sums up the entirety of the Scottish and English relations in history
0:27 Im so happy the CO still congratulated him on his kill despite not knowing what he was on about
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but your text edits are amazing. The cannonball being "for show" so we can actually see it, your words flipping backwards when you turn the camera around, that is some quality stuff.
The utterly spectacular editing is a huge reason they take so long to release. It's like hand-crafting a Fabergé Egg.
Womble knows his editing is half of what makes his videos so funny.
"Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the thing you're known for, you are great at it."
There's even video essay dedicated to why Soviet womble text edit is god tier I believe. So yeah, don't worry mate it's very much appreciated and didn't go unnoticed 😊
I love how the ending at 11:35 is perfect encapsulation of this game became what it is. One person going haywire and yelling bullshit and the other going: "Eh sure why not, Quack!"
11:22 I just think this is such a strangely sweet moment
6:13 absolutely sent me to a laughing fit with tears
The soldier is wearing a blanket roll around his body. It's his blanket covered by a water-resistant ground cloth, either made from rubber or a tarred piece of canvas, to protect it from rain. Rolled up inside the blanket are extra belongings, like socks and shirts. Stuff that wouldn't fit in his haversack.
so he's wearing a tyre
So meaning after a huge battle, the victor gets to loot him for all kinds of treasure he may need?
So he is a lootbug? Rock and stone!
Pretty sure he was just... tired.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!!!!!! 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
11:22 I’m worried that I’ll ruin the immersion, ZF* hold my beer
That's not ZF. That's just "Holdfast".
The immersion in any of these games lasts all of five seconds when it comes in contact with any players. Always makes me laugh when people complain about immersion getting ruined in things like Mordhau too.
The immersion:
QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK
The "for show" cannon balls had me straight up giggling, I could not hold it together.
The English and the Scottish going at it had me dying.
i just rewatched the first part for the 500th time and you drop this out of nowhere. i love you
by the time he sees this you both will be dead from old age
6:08 "if we kill the french we get peanut butter" fucking sent me
😂😂 gets me everytime🤣🤣
6:18 so satisfying how the letters get blown away by the artillery. Nice touch.
6:34 an accurate representation of whenever my family has a get together, I don’t know why we keep doing them.
Family from different parts of the UK?
For anyone wondering, Womble manually tracked a real cannonball with a gopro, slowed the footage down, and added it in at 6:19 because the in game cannonball went by too quickly.
"Manually"?
The fuck did he do, gently cup a cannonball as it went by?
He means frame by frame instead of having some software do it, you knob
@@fakename287 I know that, you just missed the joke, wanker
both of these people are idiots, manually means "by hand" so he recorded it *by hand* instead of cropping some internet sourced cannonball
I find that statement of Wombles deeds absolutely believable, not only because he puts in so much unseen effort, but also because I think he would be crazy enough to do so with a real cannon^^
Your dedication to subtitles has not gone unnoticed Womble. Keep it going lad.
4:27 - 5:49
The whole cannonball section of this video had me sobbing from laughing far too hard for far too long. That little "The Patriot" moment there at 5:28 made me physically flinch.
Got to put together more videos like this. Absolutely fantastic.
It took 4 years but we finally got part 2 of this greatness
That cannonball going through the text was a thing of beauty 😆
4:16 Dinkles bit with the giggles was both weird and hilarious at the same time.
I’d been a good boy!
I love how everybody quacking sounded at least vaguely like a duck but then Womble joins in sounding distinctly British.
0:14 im betting that joke went over a lot of people's heads 🤣🤣
I’m one of the few who know
He got exiled
For being merely for show, that was one of the best "famous last word" montage bits I've seen in a while.
Watching you is like watching a Monty Python movie I swear lmao 🤣
I was gonna say this feels like a fucking skit they'd do. xD
From the history lesson to soundproof plans and all the chaos, the Napoleonic war sure was a time to remember
6:13 absolutely sent me to a laughing fit with tears. Hands down best UK history lesson..
"Oh there's an Aussie, oohh" you can already tell the video will be great
and then the other historical reference when he asked "what is your sentence sir?"
@kitsuneluey7824 *chef's kiss*
@@kitsuneluey7824For most of them, it was debt owed to the government.
I love when you're watching other youtubers/streamers and you just hear womble talking in the distance and you're like "is that sovietwomble"?😂
Anime when I'm alone --> 2:36
Anime when my parents walk in --> 2:59
It is so wholesome, when the most of the server sing "happy birthday" to Haybales. Also happy birthday Haybales🎉
The ending is just THE best example of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"
Quack

Thank the heavens he is back. It's always a good day when Soviet uploads
The likes compared to time comment uploaded really shows how many people also anticipated his uploads
I've missed these so much!
Truly
I appreciate that the original bullshitteries are still incredibly watchable too.
The reaction of both Womble and officer for killing the coronavirus is accurate for the time period
The recorder at 9:37 had me crying
Soviet is the only guy to get half a million views in under 24 hours after not uploading for the longest time and I respect that 😂 cause he doesn’t post BS after an absence
Not the only guy, Michael Reeves and Casually Explained pull equal numbers of views with just as little uploads
But he literally posted BS. Its right there in the title.
posted a fishing video the day after....
@@4f4o4u4r4 deadass just realized that 😂😂😭
@@clown5911 😂😂😂
Hands down best UK history lesson.
Lmao the French "Zat waz zum good shooting, brooza" as you flew over line 5 KILLED me
"If it's a windy day we're buggered"
Amazing in-depth tactical analysis of the terrain
I have been having a really tough time lately. A new Soviet Womble video is JUST WHAT I NEED.
You’ll be alright, this too will pass.
Stay strong friend!
Well, hope things start to look up for you mate! As cliche as it sounds, just keep your chin up and stay strong -- that's the best thing you can do, believe me. Best of luck to you, and I do hope you feel better soon!
You can tell how long it took Soviet to edit this since Gangnam Style is still in fashion
"come on then, you want to bleetin go?" Is the most british shit I've ever heard here 😂
“Sir, I killed Coronavirus!”
“Excellent… what the hell is that?”
“I don’t know, Sir!” 😂
6:00 The speshal units of the British empire, bobbing the heads in synchrony like the elite and well trained soldiers they are.
Also voice chat in any video game that's intended to be taken seriously will ALWAYS backfire in the most glorious fashion and Holdfast: Nations demonstrates this perfectly xD
What "British empire" are you talking about, its definitely Britian empire
Undisciplined soldiers goof off with chaotic natures
The elite forces of the Britiash Armery goof off with extraordinary coordination and finesse
At 4:45 i was fully expecting him to get massacared when he said "for show"
I have always freaking loved your text edits, this one just elevated it so beautifully
“COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A-“ *immediately gets wrecked*
So happy to see Holdfast on this channel again, never fails to make me piss myself laughing
mf takes a whole year to upload a video in 720p, and this is still one of the best channels I have ever seen. If this doesn't prove that we are in a simulation, I don't know what will.
Whole year is for video essay right ?
@@riskihairi8670 That three hour video essay took about 7 months for him to complete.
@@jeremywerner9489 well, quality takes time
It's crazy, despite the inconsistency of upload, they are still worth the wait when they do get released
4:30-5:45 The “merely for show” artillery compilation sent me flying, no pun intended!
The artillery segment is the greatest thing ever. Just watching all the ragdolls and random people getting sent to Jesus is fantastic!
I held my breath so long for a Soviet upload. Thank God he has posted
Man, the happy birthday scene was just wholesome
These subtitles are amazing!They are so creative and fun!
10:45 Horatio Hornblowher XD
I loved the "It's merely for show" montage. That was the funniest part of the video
1:52 "it was good shooting my bruddah" classic
8:51 I assume he tried saying "sound plan" and "foolproof plan" at the same time.
i fucking love your edits man. who would've thunk to write "For show" on all the cannonballs. Like, your humor is so unique yet feels so natural. Big props man been a long time fan and was never let down
"and what's your sentence sir?" to the Aussie, 20 seconds in and I know it's going to be a banger.
Sovietwomble finally returned from war and was able to record everything
The fact that the artillery is so deadly and yet still slow enough you can see the imminent doom coming at you is fucking brilliant.
2:46 accurate representation of Britain during the napoleonic wars
For ten thousand years I have awaited the return! Great video as always!
1:02 is how each English county talks with one another on a day to day basis.
2:28 for anyone wondering, that "tire" Womble is referring to is actually just a rolled-up blanket. Most armies would usually wrap this around their backpacks, if they had any. In this case, the guy is playing as a Prussian Militiaman which are Soldiers raised during wartime to bolster the numbers of the Professional Army which may result in budget cuts such as cheaper equipment or not supplying the full uniform at all.
Watching Digby charge the entire French team without knowing how many are actually there is like watching a car crash in slow motion.
