- Mad Jack Churchill was arguably the most insane soldier to ever fight in modern combat. I'll let the video do the rest of the talking. That's why I made it. Stop reading this and watch the video you dinkus.

Oh that’s good!!!
That's a good line ngl
Usually this is a quote you'd see on someone's headstone...
...but this is the exact quote chiseled onto all of his victims' headstones.
Artoria be like:
@@frds_skceI see, you also are a man of culture
Just in case it wasn’t stressed enough:
Jack got the _only_ confirmed bow kill in all of World War 2.
Which, notably, is the most recent recorded wartime longbow kill. Not only was it the only in WW2, it's possibly the last one in history.
Edit: oops, they talked about that. My bad
He is cute
Ben
The last confirmed bow kill in wartime.
Only *confirmed* bow kill.
There's no way this man wasn't laughing maniacly every second he spent in battle.
I disagree. His bagpipe skills would have suffered.
@@nefariosgliscor threw the video it never said he was ever GOOD with the bagpipes lol
@@Sleepy_Cabbage more respect to him if he wasn't good with it.
No, not always. A quote that didn't make it into Huggbees' video is, "I maintain that, as long as you tell a German loudly and clearly what to do, if you are senior to him he will cry 'jawohl' and get on with it enthusiastically and efficiently."
So we do know that he could at least stop laughing long enough to wave a sword and tell Wehremacht soldiers to submit.
He also didn't laugh when playing his bagpipes. With his unit dead or wounded, and he had expelled every cartridge and gremade, and there was nothing left to throw at his enemy, he took up his bagpipes and started playing Will Ye No Come Back Again. This was the moment before he was knocked unconscious and tsken prisoner.
I wondered if he went full scotman.
Imagine being a medic and rushing in to treat someone to find an arrow sticking out of their chest.
"Snipah's a good job mate"
Or to find someone literally cut up
When one of the German leaders was receiving casualty reports, he had to be personally escorted to the sight of the battle because he didn't believe that some of his soldiers had been killed by arrows.
And then looking up and seeing a man charging at you with a sword...
@@Superintendent_ChaImers it’s all fun and games until you see a Russian eating a bear steak and running at you with glowing yellow bear claws attached to his hands
Fun fact, this man was also a pioneer of surfing. He was the first man to ever successfully ride a tidal bore, on his own custom-made surfboard might I add, and because of that he basically invented freshwater surfing.
Now I have an image of this dude surfing in Japan with sword and bagpipes in hand (he doesn't need to grip the board, he's just that good) and his longbow on his back as the bombs go off in the distance. Thanks, I wish I could draw.
@@shapeturtle and later, after the war, the Japanese would make a manga and anime series dedicated to this.
@@ulfricstormcloak6675 I need to know what its called
@@commandervanilla1627same
Not just any tidal bore, he was on Severn Bore, riding 2m waves and flipping off the world.
Mad Jack seems more like someone's D&D character than a real person
Mad Jack was definitely a murder hobo
Who seem to get d20s in every rolls beside the ones that the DM made to hit 1
Hey dude, he has multiattack and it does 2d6 damage
Dude is deadass just a pathfinder Skald.
He brings to mind a Metal Gear character more than anything else. He would fit right in at Outer Heaven.
Him repurposing his tie into a bandana when he started talking about his military service is unironically fuckin _genius_ visual storytelling.

You know, Huggbees having the real Master Sword and being the next reincarnation of the hero isn't what I was expecting to learn today, but I'm not complaining
What the absolute fuck
Not only the real Master Sword but a fake Thompson submachine gun
@Don't Read My Profile Photo why are you like this
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
imagine being ganon and you see huggbees roll up, threaten to fuck your mom, and then stab you in the chest
It wouldn't be surprising if Mad Jack actually did inspire Kojima to make Jack the Ripper.
the motorcycle bit too btw
Jack the Ripper was a real person though
It would be even less surprising if he actually did inspire Tolkien to make Legolas
@@Asstolfo96 they are talking about a video game character from the series metal gear solid, not the English serial killer.
Edit, to clarify, a video game character unrelated to the real world killer, with a nick name that is (I think) coincidentally the same.
@@evino7491 ah, makes more sense
Left out the postwar saga of Jack Churchill where he became a surfer, designed a 16 foot toothpick surfboard, and proceeded to ride a 5 foot wave for over a mile exclusively because he could
I thought that was like a fake fact.... No. No its real. And that is amazing.
I love how you can tell how heavy the sword and shield are as he changes stances hoping they get any lighter and you can hear his voice change as he tries to raise the sword
it's a mark of a poorly made sword too, i mean obviously it's a wallhanger but putting that aside it really shouldnt take that much effort for even an untrained person to lift a sword if it's balanced properly
That is what we call environmental storytelling in the bis
@@bruhbbawallace I've had the same one, the round part on the hilt is hollow is all the weight is in the blade. Absolutely impossible to hold one handed without it tipping
@@dinkledonker801 it's obviously unbalanced because he threw his pommel to end his enemies rightly.
stainless steel is heavier than proper sword steel
This is the closest we'll ever get to Demoknight in real life.
And Huntsman sniper
That's what I was thinking LOL
When you really stop and think about it, the point of a bayonet is to bring a knife to a gun fight.
What if it's a machine gun that shoots swords

No, the point of the bayonet is the very end bit that you stab things with. :)
Seeing a guy in a tuxedo with a sword is something I didn't know I need in my life
You'd probably love Robin Swords then
He was not in a tuxedo, he was in a suit there’s a difference
@@SparklRebel Damn bro chill
@@immanerd7546 you're spreading misinformation!
Hi Luz
You're cute
Agreed
Agreed
For real

Go to horny jail y'all
This man has an infinite amount of plot armor and definitely cut an entire Metal Gear in half
Jack is the most badassy badass to have lived I swear. I assumed he would've died in crazy way of his own doing, so how the hell did he live for that long
Some* crazy way
He’s the personification of a person too angry to die.
he was so good at fighting that nobody was ever able to kill him, not even himself.
Him and Aimo Koivunen are just over the top. Jack did his badassery over the course of his multiple wars; Aimo did is all compressed into the span of a few weeks.
Did so many drugs that he won his war. The "after" picture, you can see in his eyes that he has seen the curvature of time and heard colors be born and die in milliseconds.
not to diss mad jack, but Ill have to go with the berserker at standford bridge for that title
I'll be honest, kicking a water buffalo in the Bovine Balls (TM) is probably a more batshit insane decision than bringing a bow to the trenches ever will be.
somewhere between 1:00 to 1:05 i instantly went from having not really any idea what this video is going to be about to being at minimum 99% certain that it will be about the man, the myth, the legend, Mad Jack Churchill, claimant of the last confirmed kill with a longbow, Scottish claymore, longbow, and bagpipe wielding, not actually Scottish, fucking madman who said “If it weren’t for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the wat going another 10 years”
god im fucking hyped for this video now, on top of the hype that always comes with a new Huggbees video
god i love the fact that i got to learn stuff i didn’t already know in this video, thank you Mr. Bees
"the wat"
I called it upon seeing the thumbnail tbh
His ancestry is actually Anglo-Scottish.
There’s no evidence of a Scottish claymore though only a smaller basket hilted sword just look at the D day pic
Jack Churchill is such a mad lad, loved him since Tom Scott highlighted him
I love Dankula video on him. Listening to a Scott talk about bag pipes in war is a wonderful thing.
The sword disappearing into the green screen really sealed its magical qualities and the sheer power of Hugbees
Jack is just straight up Demoman.
Eyelander
He offclassed to huntsman sniper for one kill because the enemy playing Medic was pissing him off
Ex Air Force here. Can confirm nothing is more terrifying than the vending machine being out of mountain dew. Well maybe other than the vending machine also being out of ice cream.
I'm sad that Mad Jack's surfing career wasn't mentioned, because, yeah, he surfed after all of the war. Apparently he's the first to ride a tidal wave in a river, on a surf board he made himself that was 14 feet long.
Probably the best sword choice, you’re gonna beat any enemy that you face.
Definitely. Scottish Claymores are a wonderful weapon because they weigh four kilos maximum and can fend off half a dozen men at once.
It was a claybeg, not a claymore. One-handed, basket-hilted broadsword.
I was talking about the bag pipes
Small point of order: "Claymore" meaning "Greatsword" is considered historically dubious by many historians. The type of sword that definitely was called a Claymore, and that mad Jack used, was. Basket hilted broadsword, similar to Renaissance era cavalry swords.
A pattern of these were (and still are) in use by Scottish regiments in the Army, and that's what he carried into battle, as opposed to a longsword or greatsword.
Thank you, I'm very tired of people spreading that misinformation. I've heard the term 'Claybeg' to describe the one-handed blade in order to avoid confusing people, but barely anyone uses it.
you forgot how he once lost his sword at a battle and went back to get it despite the danger. even though he could've just gotten a new sword.
This dude sounds like peak manliness. Guy just radiates with badassery. Hearing about him made my testosterone levels skyrocket
I shared this planet with that man for two whole years. I feel honored beyond honor.
Ngl, I like these stories where Huggbees tells us the story of people who followed their dreams or blazed there own path like Jack and Larry. It makes me think of a future where I follow through my less insane dreams or ambitions by contrasting those to people with those insane dreams, who actually followed through.
Great content as usual Huggbees
@baf.l Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check that out.
@baf.l isnt that dankula guy a Nazi tho?
@baf.l aah ok I hope hes doing ok, pretty ridiculous how ppl reacted to such a small joke lol
I assumed this would be a followup to the unusual deaths video
I was woefully unprepared
i was half expecting him saying "jack created an army of mercenaries in the middle of the ocean"
“Your never fully dressed without a sword”
You should get yourself one. They're awesome!
@@Psycho-Ssnake I have one, I named it steve
@@Jacobflamecaster I have a couple swords, one is a Lockwood.
I also have a short spear with the name RECTAL RECTIFIER etched into the blade. Poetic.
@@Psycho-Ssnake nice I have a simple short sword, I once broke a old iPad in half with it
Pffft what are swords but glorified kitchen knifes. Personally I perfer arm cannons myself.
Mad Jack radiates main character energy
You know the best part about Huggbees? He's hasn't given up or become completely jaded yet, you can still tell he cares and still has his soul intact. You're a sparkling star in this empty night sky, Huggbees. Keep at it!
My man really put a MGRR reference in during it's 10th year anniversary. Nice.
You missed the part where he spent his retirement being one of the first people to take up surfing
You ought to make a video on Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier. He went through some crazy stuff during WWII and as a test pilot. He died only a year or two ago.
I happened to be playing Elden Ring while watching this video and when you commented about the grafted greatsword it made me very happy. Glad to see another example of huggbees's impeccable taste.
I never get tired of hearing mad Jack's story
Feel like jack was just the main character in a video game series during a challenge run and everyone around him was just a side character
this man is literally as insane as a tf2 character
Bro the suit gives him plot armor 💀💀💀
I would be aiming nukes at him that says otherwise but then I remembered that he is the plot armor.
Oh, you mean the plot armor he sheds by the end of the video?
@@nefariosgliscor yes
5:30 genuinely has the potential to be the funniest greenscreen template of all time
I have heard his story before and I always love hearing it. He's the only person I have ever heard about trying to play RL dnd. You think hes the reason why in most gun games the melee does more damage then the bullet?
Well a sword can be used more and pierce deeper then several bullets I mean several as in not amount but with the way weaker guns one shot against someone with bullet proof vest is easy for sword whereas bullet through metal armor is easier depending on metal aswell but a sword can't easily pierce the metal armor
It’s a lot less fun of a story when you know he was an incompetent commander who always did suicide missions, and almost none of his soldiers survived.
Bill Millin spent WWII as a bard. He famously marched up and down Sword beach in a kilt playing his bagpipes.
Huggbees weilding the Master Sword shows that he has more vitality than any mortal man and is worthy of weilding such a legendary weapon.
weilding
@@smergthedargon8974 I'm not intelligent enough to even remotely make Huggbees react to me within his presence
Don't forget about Snowflame, batman's cocaine powered supervillain.
You said to remind you to do a video of it.
❄️🔥
Jack was probably a time-traveling Bruce Willis character.
Not only does Huggbees have a nice smile, but he also knows proper gun safety! 11/10
I love that I knew exactly who you were making the topic of the video just from the thumbnail most insane man to serve in the war by far
Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed
"I maintain that, as long as you tell a German loudly and clearly what to do, if you are senior to him he will cry 'jawohl' and get on with it enthusiastically and efficiently." - Mad Jack Churchill
I knew and dated a dude who thought like this. Legit said if he joined the military he'd ask for a sword instead of a gun
How could you talk about Jack without mentioning that he became a pro surfer
"People are less likely to shoot you if you smile at them." *hoists Thompson*
Dude I legitimately smile when I see you've uploaded
One does not simply bring a sword to a gun fight with out attending his duty
Correct, he also brings bagpipes and a longbow.
The Victoria cross is much more valuable then the medal of honour, the Victoria cross was made after the Crimean war in 1856 being awarded 1,358 times , the medal of honour was made in 1861 being awarded 3,527 times. Also keep in mind that this award is across the entire British empire and many former colonies are still authorised to award it today, with the requirements to earn one constantly increasing.
The Briefcase trick was worth the wait. If I ever live near a passenger train track that I regularly ride, I will totally remember that one
Hey, a story I've actually heard of!
Mad Jack Churchill and his Claybeg in WW2, the ultimate gigachad
i love how he just progressively gets less dressed
You forgot to mention he was also a prolific surfer in a time when surfing was very new
Bro was a literal Anime protagonist.
Andrew's tie tells a story in itself here.
The most important lesson I ever learned was to never bring a fight to a gun sword.
that guy was a legend of badassery
I, an intellectual bring a sheath to a sword fight
Honestly a sword should be used by all soldiers. It's much more effective for close combat than a gun
What do you think a bayonet is?
@@TheMsdos25 Boring. That's what it is.
Jack Churchill always reminded me of a military version of Rube Wadell. They're both absolute mad lads.
Mad Jack is maybe the most badass man to ever live
this man is every tf2 class at once
If there isn't one, there needs to be a whole mini series or documentary on this guy. Mad Jack is a whole character
It's called Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Mad jack is the real life inspiration for the call of duty main character
Another A+ video from Huggbees!
I carry a sword just because I can. Wyoming's knife laws are wonderfully vague. Theres no difference between a katana and a large hunting knife , both of which you can carry almost everywhere thanks to our constitutional carry laws. Cops did shoot a drunk , sword wielding native a while back but the sword wasn't why the cops were there , they were there because he robbed a convenience store.
I remember reading about this guy as a kid and coming to the conclusion that he was a real life superhero
1. 1:08 even before DMC, impressive
2. *the high frequency part is a reference to metal gear right?*
3. 3:33 *he really fucking hated buffalos*
4. 6:10 now I notice that he could also be a reference to Mad Jack xd
5. 9:35 I really wonder how much personal stuff they let you bring for him to be able to go with medieval weapons and an instrument bigger that my current university backpack
6. 11:11 honestly if I was holding a gun and saw someone managing to defeat entire groups of soldiers with a sword running towards me I would also surrender and get on the floor(?
7. 14:35 the more I think about it the more I think Mad Jack would work better as a villain/psychopath character than a hero… or at least an antihero xd
8. 18:37 great energy tho
Was casually watching huggbees videos I’ve rewatched 10 times when all this sudden a new video. Yay I love new videos.
i love the story of mad jack churchill, so fun to see people discuss it. great video!
Adrian Carton de Wiart. The unkillable soldier, lost an eye in Africa, got shot multiple times in ww2, ripped off his fingers after a doctor refused to amputate them, lived into his 80s. And is quoted as saying, "Frankly, I quite enjoyed the war."
Love that you explained where burma is. Although you could have just said it is where Burmese pythons are
I played a D&D character based on this guy a few years ago! Good times, he was cool.
You should do one of these about Goetz of the Iron Hand, a 1400-1500 German knight, mercenary, and absolute madman.
Every video this dude makes just exudes power
That air force joke definitley confirms you probably served at some point maybe Hua
Honestly if he was made up as a Captain America type morale booster for Britain I’d believe it
I've already heard of this badass, and honestly. Well portrayed!
Huggbees is possibly the only person who can make a more chaotic Wikipedia recap than the Technical Difficulties. Love this madness.
I have only one thing to say! This man was badass! A true warrior to look up to!
Holy shit this video is mostly historically accurate too lol golden content bro gonna binge all your vids because of this video
When ww3 happens, we need to find a sufficiently powerful necromancer and bring this dude back in his full youthful vigor. The dude would probably thank us.
I saw the thumbnail and title and immediately knew it was Jack Churchill, the only man to have a confirmed longbow kill in WW2
hey, if you wanna talk about another absolute madlad, may i suggest tom lehner? he wrote comedic songs, was a mathematical genius, and he invented the jello shot. im also pretty sure hes a time traveler, as in his song "the masochism tango", he has a line where he says the phrase "savage beats" and then asks someone to step on him. hes amazing and he needs recognition
I already know what this is going to be about, finally someone talked about em.
one of the few huggbees stories I actually know about before hand, this was a very funny video :)
Another solid video. Jack Churchill had quite a cool history to him
Would you cover The White Death AKA Simo Häyhä? If you have I would love to look back on that. Dude is estimated to have killed over 542 soldiers in 100 days by himself with an M/2830 sniper rifle and a Suomi-KP/31 sub machine gun by running through the woods hiding in the snow the only thing protecting him from the -40 temperature and sight lines being his pure white suit he adorned. He used iron sights on his sniper instead of a scope and was not only shot in the face with an explosive bullet but they tried to blow him up nothing ever killed him or came close. I can't find any record of it but something I watched before tried to state that he was high on methamphetamine during this but I'm not sure at all, I do know it's one of the most insane stories I've ever read about another human being.
There is record on him. He got some nickname along 'Best Sniper' and was for sure of Asian Discint (I'm thinking Japanese and he used a white Berett 50 BMG with iron sights, and used a white cloak to hide himself along the snowy tundra)
@Tree'sWRLD Oh for sure the "record" I meant was the methamphetamine part that is the only thing that's not factually stated somewhere. Now granted it is stated that there was no real record of his kills recorded it was all by account and bodies they recovered. He stated himself that they were his "sins" and that the number is really just an estimate by Wikipedia it quotes that his authority said he did roughly 250 kills with each so the numbers (The numbers Mason what do they mean?) do add up.
@Tree'sWRLD Also it was The White Death as I stated, he was from Finland. Lol
@@dsouthmonster yeah thats my bad. I was slightly familiar with it and knew the bases of the story
One of the most insanely badass men ever, easily.
that suit looks mad sophisticated
This guy absolutely went to Valhalla
