Some people easily know "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition" joke, but this scene reminds me more of Mel Brooks' work than Monty Python. He did a Spanish Inquisition musical skit in one of his movies.
My brain always blends the two together. Monty Python jumping out saying, "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" And then my brain automatically starts playing Mel Brooks Spanish Inquisition song. 😅
Dee Bradley Baker hitting that Number 4 high note is amazing, but then again, I'm always so freaking astounded by his range and how many voices he can do! Especially since he voices a large amount in this show!
I think Popeye would be sorta peeved at the forcing of kids to eat Spincah sure he occasionally pushes it into people but it’s more for the cartoon (or that one time when Olive worked as a nurse) but this is extreme
Kind of wish they got numbuh three to sing something like “I had it once you have to admit. All your spinach all your spinach tastes like…” Or “ give it up, please just quit, we won’t eat spinach it tastes like…” Those of you who shave every day, You know what I mean.
What i didn't see as a kid is how dark this actually is. The Spanish inquisition tortured people and the way they are getting the kids to eat spinach is the forms of torture. They used the iron maiden, being dunk in water, and the spinning wheel.
One ok small nitpick The Iron Maiden was a myth there’s little to no historical evidence of it being used much less by the Spanish Inquisition and they LOVED writing down what they did
if anything, the Spanish Inquisition was the closest thing to an actual court back in the late XV century and was waaaaay better than a trial by ordeal
The spinach inquisitors all hate spinach so it's more likely that Popeye is 2's father since they both like spinach and are good sailors (as seen in Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R.).
"I said no once, I said no twice, you chained me here and that's not nice, I will not eat it not even a scrap, I will not try it it taste like..." "will you try it in a bowl?" "not one lousy crumb!" "will you try it on a roll?" "do I look like I'm that dumb?!" those parts are pretty catchy, I tell you
If you're going to try spinach do two things: 1. Don't buy that canned shit, buy fresh spinach or grow your own. 2. Make it into a dish, like a calzone or a lasagna.
Mountain Mew the Spanish Inquisition, where the Spaniards tortured Hebrews and Islamics trying to convert them to Catholics. If they didn't convert or leave the country they killed them or locked them up still torturing them. This specific song is a reference to "history of the world part 1" there is a Spanish Inquisition musical number where they sing as they torture and mutilate. You can just search up the scene
They even take the "will you convert? -no no no no- will you confess? -no no no no-" part of the song and the swag walk to the next victims hahaha Man this brought me memories, now I gotta watch the movie again, its a hell of a movie xD
I was imagining somebody happily trying the spinach because she expected the type of inquisition where she can be forced to convert, but it wasn't, and she was relieved that she decided to try to spinach.
Same with me and broccoli, Only anti-vegetable me and everyone I knew who watched agree on was the Brussel sprout episode. Brussel sprouts: not even deep frying it with bacon can make it edible.
Well, this may come as quite a surprise to Amerigo Vespinachio and the Spinach Inquisition that I really do love spinach, because it's one of my favorite delicious foods in the whole world. I always have it on my meatball marinara sub sandwich at Subway and on my pizza with pepperoni and sausage at Rapid Fired Pizza. And at the buffet at Golden Corral, I always have a salad first before eating the other foods, I eat it with spinach, pepperoni, shredded carrots, bits of bacon and ranch dressing. My parents tell me that I'm an adventurous eater, because I love to try new and different foods.

In case you’re all wondering this is a history lesson spinach inquisition is based on Spanish inquisition like other inquisitions across Europe that forced people to stay truth to Catholicism if not be tortured and finally burned at the stake. What I found hilarious was that this actually is based off of another video which did the same thing talk about the Spanish inquisition but they made a musical about it remember what it was called but it was kind of funny historically. I can also feel this is similar to Dr. Seuss’s green eggs and ham

When I was a kid I actually ate spinach in fear of these guys

"Yes."

I thought about both
Someone on the writing team was a Brooks fan, guaranteed
Same
Ahhhhh......the 2000's. Back when CN could make songs about spinach cults and force-feeding but couldn't say "crap". Those were the days.
Yeah
It was better then
You can’t say “crap” on a kids show.
@@cartooncentral263 regular show begs to differ

I certainly didn't
I wish the show could have fused the Monty Python one with Mel Brooks
It's only now at the age of 23 that I'm realising they're parodying The Spanish Inquisition. LMAO 😂 😂😂
One might say, you didn't expect the spinach inquisition

Secondarily they're parodying Mel Brook's Spanish Inquisition broadway skit from History of the World part 1.

And then Regular Show says crap a few years later 😂
I enjoyed this as a kid and I'm enjoying this more as an adult 🤣
Same here
No wonder my parents were laughing harder than me when they watched it. Having watched Monty Python since, I now know why.
Gotta admit, I love them lol. I wouldn't eat it just to hear them sing. They're great singers lmao.
Damn, Ben Diskin really put his all in to that final "STOP!!!!!!"
Right? Dude knows how to shout.... Mon
What i didn't see as a kid is how dark this actually is. The Spanish inquisition tortured people and the way they are getting the kids to eat spinach is the forms of torture. They used the iron maiden, being dunk in water, and the spinning wheel.
Really the spanish inquisition didn't use the german iron maiden.
Bit of a difference between the wheel number 4 is on and the breaking wheel.

They also implied that they would kill number 4 if he didn't try it
Legend has it, that the founder of the Spinach Inquisition was Popeye the Sailor Man

I like mines in omelettes
I usually just juice that shit with watermelon for flavor

Dan Logrono nope :)
Same. As long as it's raw. Hate it cooked
@@SuperSwordman1 same
I agree the Song is Catchy.
Nope, me too!

1:31 numbuh 4"do I look like I'M THAT DUMB!". 😂
YEAH! 🎵
If I had a nickle for every time I heard a Inquisitor lead a musical number, I would have two. It isn't much but it's weird that it happened time.
When the thumb-screws and hot irons stopped working the inquisitors got creative.
Now this is an inquisition I genuinely wasn’t expecting.
A musical of the Spanish inquisition combined with Dr sues. I forgot how creative writers used to be.
Ah yes, one of Spinach's selling points is "It won't make you barf"
which was a lie

What if?
What if Nigel said crap in the spinach inquisition song?
The tune of this song has been stuck in the back of my mind for over a decade but I couldn't remember what it was about or even any of the words.

such good nostalgia
