Lol I’ve been watching all the old videos I either didn’t see or were released before I became a fan, and him complaining about the intros is very common. I love that the whole Danny was either like “fuck you, I’ll make this one super long” or “alright how about *no* intro?” And of course Simon complains when there isn’t an intro. Sam and the other editors keeping us happy by including the bitching though.
Simon has it easy, my front neighbor, give aways home made cotton candy, toys, and drinks for Halloween. e.o. and yes they give candy as well but thats an option.(yes every year)
This was the closest we've come to an epic blaze in a long time; super long tangents that baffle and confuse Simon, jokes about police brutality? Someone was definitely on the crack today and I am all here for it! Danny for the win playing 4 d chess with no intro but a more windy script to induce Simons tangents and make his head explode! Sam you were on point with those memes well done man!
Australian here. A stubby cooler/ holder is a beer cooler and can be used for both a stubby (bottle) or a tinnie (can). Also, we need an episode that is just one of Danny's intros for like 20 minutes, then 1 or 2 minutes on the actual blaze
But a cooler (ice chest) holds ice and actually cools things. Are you talking about a beer cozy? The foam little squishy holders that red necks use to keep their coors light cold for longer?
Are the bottles actually still stubbies though? We used to call them that here in Newfoundland too, until they adopted the American bottle standard with the long neck. The ones we had before had, like the name suggests, stubby necks.
THANK YOU SIMON for going on a tangent about your daughter being obsessed with coins. It caused me spring out of bed at 02:10 to ensure the Tooth Fairy visits my son tonight. You just saved the Tooth Fairy’s ass!
Danny and Sam are TH-cams most comically talented actors. You know it Simon. You K N O W it man. And let me give it to you Simon; you are a big brain. Massive. But sometimes even perfectly massive brained people have something missing in a certain part of their brain. For some people it is their disbelief in the moon landing .. I am afraid that in your case it is the disappreciation of the True Art that is Danny's intros.
@@mussoletart8485 Things that are somewhat set in reality, e.g. Star Trek, Harry Potter, Iron Man are "low fantasy", which seems to be what Simon prefers. In contrast to things like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, which are "high fantasy", set in an entirely made up reality
@@The_Blazement color me jaded, but what parts of faster-than-light exploration across the galaxy to alien planets with highly advanced humanoid civilizations, a special school for wizards, witches, and warlocks, and an egomaniacal billionaire arms dealer with a flying suit of armor are somewhat set in reality?
Most stores are open on the holidays, including Labor Day. That's when they 1) have the sales and/or 2) sell the food appropriate to the holiday. Last Thanksgiving and Christmas, 2 of our Midwest chain groceries closed. Usually places will close around 4 or 5, but they gave their workers the full day. At least judging by FB posts, shoppers were very happy about it and wanted workers to be with their families. No one needs to shop on Thanksgiving. One of my sisters retired from a major retail chain. She hated holidays and it has taken her years of retirement to enjoy being at home, because for decades, she had to deal with crazed shoppers on the holidays.
In Norway all shops except small (under 100 m²/330 sq.ft.) grocery stores and gas stations are closed on holidays. And all Sundays. Also, except restaurants and bars, any alcoholic drinks above 4,7%/9.3 proof can only be bought in the nice government alcohol monopoly stores who's workers of course also get those days off.
In Canada, for national holidays, businesses are required to give all employees their average daily wages for that day, and if they are open, they need to pay 1.5 times their hourly wages to all people working, or another payed day off in compensation of having to work the holiday.
@@Guy-cb1oh what is even more oppressive is a government forcing businesses to close for Holidays, or for the employees to not get any compensation for having to be at work or available to work on a day that is government mandated to be off. Besides, the boost to morale does wonders for people's mental wellbeing. I personally like the fact that the Canadian Government has things like this in their labor code to ensure that the employees are not being oppressed by abusive business owners. For business owners it is a known and expected price for doing business in Canada.
@@Guy-cb1oh Then this will really freak you out: In Norway all shops except small (under 100 m²/330 sq.ft.) grocery stores and gas stations are closed on holidays. And on all Sundays. Also, except restaurants and bars, any alcoholic drinks above 4,7%/9.3 proof can only be bought in the nice government alcohol monopoly stores who's workers of course also get those days off.
I love Halloween. I used to go all out. I had a cemetery in a flowerbed, a skeleton in a hanging cage that begs to be let out as it shakes the bars. Fake crows in a bird cage, skulls, candles etc. Making a costume was always fun. The only unfortunate thing is as kids, you needed to make sure your costume would fit over a snowsuit. 🙂🇨🇦
The F-word for cigarettes is also popular here in Australia. We also have a saying to "bum" something meaning take it from someone else, so often people will walk up to complete strangers and ask "Can I bum a F-word?" which leads to much confusion if they don't know the slang
Aussie here: YAY, Simon got it right! Also, thank you Danny for mentioning Invasion Day. The colonials were just as bad in Australia as they were everywhere else, it just doesn't get talked about as much.
when you consider the dark reality behind thanksgiving it actually seems appropriate that over the course of my lifespan in the last 38 years i have watched the greed of the black friday xmas shopping gradually taking over what we were lied about to as kids.
I think Simon could’ve gone the other way…..SPECTACULARLY with Christmas lights. Imagine if we harnessed the energy of the ‘OUTRAGE’ button! He needs to have someone set up so many lights and decorations that he needs a generator. It’s not even passive aggressive. It’s straight up aggressive aggressive
Loved this...Simon: "yay! No introduction - this will be way quicker" ...Also Simon: tangent, leading to another tangent, back on subject, ....another tangent... that's why I come back every video. I got so confused during that Jimmy Hoffer vid where he was saying "Michigan, Detroit" and it took me a while to work out he was trying to say "apparel" (in possibly the same video?) and now my brain thinks Chicago is in Michigan instead of Illinois. At the end of the day Simon is still WAY smarter than me no matter how many times he gets things confused, and the fact he doesn't edit out his mistakes make me feel so much better! Keep it up fact boy!
In India we have a day in autumn, the date varies from mid October to mid November as we follow the lunar calendar, when we celebrate Bhut Chaturdashi which means the fourteenth day of lunar cycle when ghosts are nearest to earth
I think my favorite part of spending time in the Whistleverse is the comfort I receive when Simon screams about things like decorating for Christmas and I realize that I am not the only grumpy parent on the planet who just wants to live in peace without being pressured into unnecessary pageantry. 12:05
Where's my introduction?! Damn it, I need it to make my day worth it. T_T It's the best part of the videos! The introduction, Simons tangents, add in a sprinkle of the finest vintage memes... and the video itself... In that order.
Jaysus, you even Irish bra? (-: Sounds like "saumn" like a female pig but stick an mn on the end I guess. But it hardly matters one bit, really. Ah balls, now I'm that prick, sorry Doris edit: look at me being a keyboard warrior, I spelled pig wrong, what a dick
I’m Irish too, but if you’re not from there you don’t necessarily automatically think of the Irish language, since it’s not really anyone from England would ever encounter and all they’ve known is that Irish people have always spoken English @wheeliebeast7679
So the reason people carve pumpkins… In Ireland/Scotland, they would carve TURNIPS to scare bad spirits. However, when many of those immigrants came to America and realized pumpkins were more widely available and easier to carve.
29:22 I have stopped having the same dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving is the traditional meal. For me, I buy pizza, make my chili dip and chips, do a veggie tray and baked goodies that my kids and I make in the week leading up to Christmas. It's been a good transition and my family, immediate and extended, love it.
It was Casual Criminalist, Simon, where you confidently said, “Michigan, Detroit!” And I wasn’t laughing that you had them reversed. I was laughing at how excited you were to interrupt a murder story to reverse them with so much assurance. But I’m American, so my geography knowledge outside the states is pure garbage.
The problem with trying to get Americans to acknowledge our past mistakes and horrible actions, Simon, is that's being "woke" and "shaming people for actions they had no part in" even if it's just saying, "hey, let's acknowledge that we, as a country, did bad things."
It's a universal trait. I rather doubt Mao's China acknowledges the famines it caused and I know Japan doesn't like to talk about its war crimes against the Korean people. Never mind Russia's soviet history...
Here in Canada i have always been told that our Canadian Thanks Giving is about the harvest and harvest time when farming. October 9, 2023. held on the second Monday in October, each year.
Thanksgiving is a Christian Holiday. It is indeed thanking god for the harvest. In the Netherlands it’s not an official day off. But when I was a kid we went to church in the evening.
I'm not sure how Siman made me feel guilty for living in a populous country that speaks English. To give an idea of how ridiculous Halloween trick or treating is in the US, I've had people ring the doorbell at the emergency veterinary clinic where I work and ask for candy. I've literally come to the door dressed to assist in surgery, probably with blood on my scrub top, because parents think it's an appropriate place to beg for candy.
10:20 After Simon's talk about the alternative word Brits use for cigarettes, did anyone else go 😬 when he talked about the implied threat behind trick-or-treating and said how "Not everyone is a _FAN_ ....."
Yes. And I believed him and bought some. They are not waterproof. The dymatex leaks bad. They sent me a second pair. Also leaked bad. I refuse to put them on my feet because every time I look at them all I can hear in my head is the meme Jen puts up occasionally. LIES! ALL LIES!

I love hearing Simon trying to say Samhain (SAH-win) phonetically when it's really so easy, if you don't look at how it's spelled. Labor Day is actually a day to celebrate labor unions and collective bargaining. Oh! So the rule seems Danny will give subheadings OR an introduction, but usually, not both. Simon, pick a form, or at least how you want your rants organized.
This video came out on the 16th of June here in Australia. The 12th of June was "The Queen's birthday holiday"... We know the queen has died and it is a king now but, well, no one cares about the king.
Bucket list ✔️ First like of a brain blaze episode 🔥 no my list is not lofty, it's achievable, I want to finish this feeling accomplished. And in this case Simon gets a ✔️ too... No intro 😂🔥 Cheers Simon, with my O.G.B.B. mug!🔥
I remember back in the later 90s I made friends with some people from Ireland (iirc they had moved here just a couple of months before I met them). One day when hanging out I said I had to step out to get something and one of them asked me to grab them a pack of smokes using _that_ term and my response was simply to say "what the hell?". Since I had never heard that word used in that context before.
This channel is officially broken, no rambling introduction and Simon finally gets a fact about Australia correct without reading it from the script. 🤣
Well " Mayday " has something to do with plane crashes. Here in Oz, Labour day was the weekend for watching a car race but they screwed it over and footballers got it instead... Sporting hero is just another way of saying "violent bully with a god complex".
Random question for Simon. Are you raising your kids bilingual? I'm English living in Germany and my little rascals are a bit older than yours. Bilingual all the way, I love it being able to confuse random old folk with it....
I'll share in that tear... and a bit of a mope... but for MISSING Danny's intro... it's just never the same without it.... peace Danny ✌ we love your intros
I was born on a Labor Day; Simon's absolutely correct about how much my opinion of Labor Day (and coincidently, my birthday) have changed from being a kid to having them.
Look i finished the video still. And it was enjoyable. But ot never feels like a brain blaze video without the 25 minute masterful piece of work that is known as a Danny intro

No introduction!?!? - Simon finally defeats Danny as the final Boss of the Internet.
Simon forgets that if Danny forgoes an introduction he's spread it throughout the rest of the script
A no intro, 34 minute long video = fine
An intro'd, 18 minute long video = Too long, Danny!
Simon... you are insane.
Allegedly
Danny always wins. Or actually.. Sam always wins.. But Danny has an army of 300K+ diehard fans behind him.
Love Danny
Or Simon ends up wasting 2x more time than the intro ever would have by blathering on in tangents.
#FreeDanny
It definitely seems like Simon is the only one that dislikes Danny's intros
and apparently felt the need to include more tangents/rants to take up the freed time.
They are usually a bit long winded ,I'd rather hear another fact story to send the boss off the rails

You know what I do when I don't want to do something like put up Christmas lights, I don't put up Christmas lights. Pretty simple.
That missing introduction was meant to teach Simon how to pronounce Samhain.
THIS
it's actually pronounced "Danzig"
I feel like when, not just Danny, but all the writers, don't have intros Simon's tangents get out of control.
I love hearing Simon trying to say Samhain (SAH-win) phonetically when it's really so easy, if you don't look at how it's spelled. Labor Day is actually a day to celebrate labor unions and collective bargaining. Oh! So the rule seems Danny will give subheadings OR an introduction, but usually, not both. Simon, pick a form, or at least how you want your rants organized.
Sam, great job as always
This video came out on the 16th of June here in Australia. The 12th of June was "The Queen's birthday holiday"... We know the queen has died and it is a king now but, well, no one cares about the king.
your editors are the best! they find the perfect clips
Bucket list ✔️ First like of a brain blaze episode 🔥 no my list is not lofty, it's achievable, I want to finish this feeling accomplished. And in this case Simon gets a ✔️ too... No intro 😂🔥
Cheers Simon, with my O.G.B.B. mug!🔥
And first comment... Epic day🔥
thank god sam is back !we missed u .goated w da sauce!
I remember back in the later 90s I made friends with some people from Ireland (iirc they had moved here just a couple of months before I met them). One day when hanging out I said I had to step out to get something and one of them asked me to grab them a pack of smokes using _that_ term and my response was simply to say "what the hell?". Since I had never heard that word used in that context before.
We the people, demand longer Danny introductions!
This channel is officially broken, no rambling introduction and Simon finally gets a fact about Australia correct without reading it from the script. 🤣
how does this channel not have a million subscribers
If Simon does not like holidays because of the closed shops, he is in for a surprise, living in a czech countryside :)
Labour Day is at the end of October here in New Zealand.
Love listening to you while I study. Thanks Fact Boy for getting my academic juices flowing
Well " Mayday " has something to do with plane crashes.
Here in Oz, Labour day was the weekend for watching a car race but they screwed it over and footballers got it instead...
Sporting hero is just another way of saying "violent bully with a god complex".
Ahh, Bathurst 1000 💕 I remember the drinking & bbq more than the laps 🤣
The guy that wanted to electrocute children is an absolute legend 😂😂😂
Extra tangent-y on this one...love it :D
Simon, Simon, Simon, when are you going to learn that we love the intros and tangents and rants? They are what give your videos personality!
Random question for Simon. Are you raising your kids bilingual?
I'm English living in Germany and my little rascals are a bit older than yours. Bilingual all the way, I love it being able to confuse random old folk with it....
I for one would love to see Simon shooting an A10 Warthog from the hip! 😂😂 ✈️
Vessi ad reads, sadly the only time we see you still have legs these days, Fact Boi.
I'll share in that tear... and a bit of a mope... but for MISSING Danny's intro... it's just never the same without it.... peace Danny ✌ we love your intros
NO INTRODUCTION?! what's even the point of living anymore 😭
Danny, Whistle Boy, Sam you have out done yourselves with this one!
You never acknowledge Sam anymore.
It's nice to see you with such a spring in your non-step, Simon!
No introduction but it’s 35 mins long
I was born on a Labor Day; Simon's absolutely correct about how much my opinion of Labor Day (and coincidently, my birthday) have changed from being a kid to having them.
No introduction?! Meh
Canadians watch too and we have a Labour Day, but we spell it like you guys. That should be worth a little recognition...
I love Canada!!
Simon I was screaming MAY DAY at the screen. I knew you would know that lol
These rants were so, so relatable. In every way.
Look i finished the video still. And it was enjoyable. But ot never feels like a brain blaze video without the 25 minute masterful piece of work that is known as a Danny intro
12:01 I would enjoy decorating for the holidays, Simon, but I don't like to be told what to do & when I should do it. So I agree with you 😅
23:59 In the USA you get paid time and a half (or more if your employer chooses to pay you more, but this is rare) if you work on a federal holiday.
Who needs intros when Simon can give us extra tangents 😂😂😂
