- John's anger at Benjamin Franklin leads him to somewhere he never wanted to go...
Scene from the John Adams HBO Miniseries (directed by Tom Hooper), starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney.
"... I repeat my former Advice, that in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones ... Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience ... Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion ... and lastly they are so grateful." - Benjamin Franklin, Inventor, Founding Father, and Cougar Hunter.
Echoboomer1987 You make it sound in your comment as if good ole Ben was a strapping young buck.....they were both old farts...
@@chewie2055 I know this comment was written two months ago but when Benjamin Franklin was young he was considered very fit, even athletic looking for his time and very handsome. Not only that but I think that quote he may have wrote it around the time of his prime if not maybe around the time he was leaving his prime but before age took him over, but it was definitely way before the American Revolutionary War even first started.
- Inventor, Founding Father, and Shitty Dad.
He was right, you know...
as if I needed another reason to love Ben Franklin
"Well Mr. Adams..."
"Dr. Franklin..."
"Well, Mr. Adams?"
..."I would suggest taking the rook with your bishop, sir."
That would be the best move considering that apparently he's already taken the queen 🤣🤣😺
"you mean the Bishop between my legs?"
@@OdditiesandRarities 😂😂😂😂😂
Underrated comment.
Tom Wilkinson never missed a beat as Ben Franklin.. "well Mr Adams?".
May he now RIP 🙏
“Well Mr. Adams?” Great line. Didn’t yell or get upset. Just let Adams own awkwardness do the work
.....all he says is "well mr. adams" oh ben you had some swag in your day!!!
Lol one of the many reasons why Benjamin Franklin is my favorite founding father.
“Mr. Franklin is conducting a very delicate experiment.”
if you had been more frank about Franklin, Adams might not have burst in.
Servant Guy: "Mr. Adams, Dr. Franklin is doing strip chess in a bathtub with his mistress!"
John: "I beg your pardon? Well....never mind."
In real life Franklin was observed doing the full monty with a French maid, though I don't recall by whom. Franklin called it "the ungovernable passion." In his youth he was a real stud, a man all of greatly charm and intelligence, and physically fit. Being a printer in those days was a total workout, all day every day. Save the Sabbath, perhaps.
In his later days he was world famous, which didn't hurt.
I always wondered why my h.s. American history teacher sorta grinned when Franklin's name came up and something to do with women, and cut himself short. This was 1975. I still remember that facial expression saying 'If you only knew and I could tell without being fired "
they put Franklin on the $100 dollar bill so that he can help us all even 230 years later to pick up the ladies.

Fascinating individual. He had a fascinating personality served more honorably than any Politician, soldier or sailor ever will. A noble individual to the most high degree. Reached the level of a Statseman. Great individual noble and bright individual beyond comprehension.
privacy, mr. adams
‘Well, mr Adams…?’
Adams: ‘I was, erm, wondering, erm, if, it’s possible..errrrm….. to scrub your back,….sir’…..😂😂😂
Suddenly, this turned into a pawn-o!! 😜
There's chess, then there's the American way to play chess. xD
Greetings to the UK, BTW. :)
The actor playing chess, such a fantastic actor, he played so many of these pompous old general type roles, cornwallis the patriot, but I'll catch him doing like cockney gangster roles like revolver and other roles and he is one of those guys like giamatti just a chameleon
Also Falconi in Batman
Tom Wilkinson. Indeed, a fine actor.
Honestly he nailed Franklin perfectly in this series. The casting of this mini series is spot on
If this actually happened😂😂😂
Basically...it did.
So this why General Cornwallis lost at Yorktown . He was more concerned with “Chess and Chill” and less concerned with “the Terrain and Rebel Movements”. One of then Great What Ifs of History .
"Well that could have gone a lot worse"
Ironic that Franklin, "The Prototypical American" was such a playboy when Washington, "The Father of His Country" was probably sterile.
As you are eggless as well as witless .
For all his famous dalliances Franklin is only known to have sired three children: an out-of-wedlock son who took the British side (the bastard) after serving as royal governor of New Jersey and ultimately settled in England; and later, by his only wife, a son who died in childhood and a daughter whose many descendants include a recent governor of Delaware.
MacDaddy Franklin
I love how even back in these horrifically violent, disease and poverty ridden times bros are still wildly uncomfortable seeing eachother naked.
I think you’re sort of exaggerating the circumstances
@@MrFrinZy dude antibiotics were invented in 1928, which meant until 1928 if you wanted to not die from say an ear infection you had to cut or burn the infected flesh off. Also its suspicious as fuck that you're pining for slavery days
@@Dibby98
You’re aware of the human body’s immune system, yes? The one that kept and still keeps our species alive? And who said I prefer either circumstance to the other? You’re exaggerating is all.
it wasn't that bad really
I thought the camera wasn’t invented until, I don’t know when.
Wow.... Benjamin Franklin also invented "Strip Chess"
LOL What a legend.
Dog in the room and all! 😂
Adams barge in suddenly turned Franklin‘s Bishop into a Pawn.
I find it hard to believe that lady's man like Franklin will be found naked with an old maid like her. Its anti Casanova law.
I find it hard to believe he seemed relatively sober.
he WAS married.
***** He was widowed. This scene takes place sometime after 1778. Franklin's wife died in 1774.
She was a noble with a lot of money....
Maybe he found her intellectually stimulating. :)
So the next question is, where do I get a chess board like that? :)
Makes me think of Fry bursting in on Professor Farnsworth and Mom lol
Let's be honest we all wished we were Benjamin Franklin or the weman he bed, man's a intellectual genius with no shame and loves a good challenge. 😂
Time for a tri-cornered 3-way.
Someone drew a sketch of Franklin getting a handy from a teenager in Paris.
Ben leads with his castle .
@TheTraumarama, LMAO! xD
I am so trying this.
Just to see if I can pull it off.
🤣🤣
What's the matter, John? Cat got your tongue?
You have the part When Jhon Adams Is crying.
What movie called pls i need to watch it
@Cobbledstories "Well, Mr. Adams....
He was a bit of a rake.
Sometimes I wish I could do that to people that got Honor Roll, know a foreign language, or are somehow supposedly better than me.
Walk in on them playing chess? Or play chess in the nude while they watch?
0:39 a record needle scratch would not be out of place.
Ol' poonhound Benjie
Hey, guess what...
I'm watching this in the future.
You smokin' toomuch quarantine cush-cush. It's all goo-goo!
@@tmseh Hahahahaha
She was his 11:00
HAHAHA!
@escobari What do you mean?
ben franklin was born 1706
john adams was born 1735
ben fraknlin is more than old enough to be john adams father... and this is basically you walking in on your father ... awkward lol
Who is that actress?
what was he angry about?
Late but he received a letter where he basically is kicked out of france
Oh they were only playing chess
Doors did have locks back then right?
What was the result of his . . . experiment?
Diplomacy. ;)
@BWCxJSM I know. I was like LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
John adams is more suitable in a simple court of king george iii of united kingdom
French court of versailles is way to lavish and frivolous for stern person like john adams 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where is the funny part?
I kinda wanna do this with someone ngl
Awkward much? ;)
This doesn't surprise me at all. Apparently, B Franklin would walk around his house, totally naked, for an hour every day. He called it an "air bath."
He saved a couple of shillings by not having to procure water. #APennySaved…
A rebel indeed! He liked to get naked while he smoked on the weed lol
Avant garde way before his time indeed.
He also recommended using earwax as chapstick and believed that holding in farts was extremely deleterious to one’s health. Franklin was a total whackadoo, but he was pretty awesome.
Remarcable man he was.
"Oh, to be 70 again."
Hahaha
Playing chess with the ladies was how you "Netflix and Chilled" back in the day.
😂😂😂
That's deep
I see chilling has not changed much since this
In a bathtub, no less.
Paul Eblin chess’n’bath?
As soon as I heard the name "Dr. Franklin" and "delicate nature", the words "Oh God no..." came to mind immediately.
Every experiment requires some form of attraction.
Oh no? Oh yes!
Yeah Dr Franklin was a ho! Lol
That’s amazing how Franklin is so chill about it. 😂
Of all the Founders, Franklin probably had the most chill…
He probably heard him coming lmao
Highly Irregular
Mr. Bancroft!!!
This is like walking in on your parents. Poor John looks like he’s gonna have a coronary.
Lmfao 😂🤣👌
Typical New England puritanism, such repression is not good for the mental health
@@johncashrocks221 Puritanism? bro walking in on someone like that is gonna be awkward no matter the era or place lol
He was warned about 17 times....
@@johncashrocks221 yeah, the sexual revolution sure did work out well for social and mental health. 🙄
There's a reason the guy is on the 100...
Best wingman you can have is Ben Franklin
I haven’t seen this series yet, but it looks like an actor’s dream. The actors have to convey the emotions and tensions while speaking in lofty English. Obviously, we don’t know if these people spoke like that in casual conversation, but it’s probably pretty close.
I also like how every character had an accent that was on a spectrum between British and Modern American, and I bet they did a LOT of research to see what their accents were probably like. The idea of being eloquent gentlemen was certainly important, and their accents were probably very close to British, Irish and Scottish (depending on where the characters grew up, and where they were educated).
There's a great video of a dialect coach doing a kind of accent tour of the US, and he actually explains a little bit about how those accents came about (the show got them spot on by all accounts), and also mentions an island somewhere in the south where the locals still have it :)
Franklin got more work done in the bathtub in the evening than Adams in the morning at office
I love how the French gal just kind of glances over at Adams like, "meh."
Oh I'm sure it's a very delicate nature.
of dusty saggy old crones
This is why Ben Franklin was the greatest statesman and diplomat the United States ever had.
Disagree. Biggest mouth perhaps
It was Franklin's job to make it with old ladies. Seriously. They loved it, and had a lot of influence at court. What you are seeing is what won the war. Adams on the other hand was less than useless in France. He tried to use logic. Total fail.
People don't understand that without
Yes. Trying to use logic in France is like trying to use anything other than polemics in the United States.
Ahhh yes that explains everything perfectly well.
The look on Bancroft's face was one of "Told you so!" at the end.
When I came across the scene where King Louis comments on Dr. Franklin's "experiments" with science and the ladies, I never would have thought Dr. Franklin seriously has his hands on those "experiments" til I saw this episode 😂
Whether or not this really happened, I don’t know. However, they got the character of Benjamin Franklin down. 🤣
It should be noted that, while Franklin did famously play chess with a French grande dame while she bathed, he did not join her in the tub, and John Adams did not burst in on their game.
You should know. You were that French grand dame, you old bag.
Victor Kong oh that’s 1776 burns right there

Mr. Bancroft!!
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Mr. Lincoln!
@@AbrahamLincoln4 Well, Mr. Lincoln?
Hahahaha!!! They're playin' Bath Chess!!
Well John, Dr. Franklin is showing his old lady how its done, and you just walked in and disturbed them.
I've never seen this show, but this made me laugh! It's all dramatic music with Adams mad as hell and the BAM! Bathtub.
Poor Ben trying to have fun and he disturbed him.
He was actually conducting French diplomacy.
"He's conducting a experiment"..😆😆😆
Hahaha! John : O.O -.- XD
Bankroft: I told you he was in the middle of something >> XD
@dreamerboy84, the Continental Congress made Franklin sole diplomat to France, a.k.a. they were kicking Adams out of his job in France. John was too honest to be a good diplomat and he wasn't as conceding a negotiator as Franklin. He ruffled a lot of feathers at the French court, so Congress thought it best to send him elsewhere. Poor John!
He was still able to get the French to help us out in the war
Franklin was always a big hit with the ladies in France.
Ah, good old Ben... so cool and collected.
I wasn't as annoyed as I was scared. That face haunted my nightmares. :O
I don't mean that towards the actress, she did a great job in the role, but they could've given her some less-scary makeup...
scary makeup? It's only powder, you are scared of a powdered face?
At least he didn't walk in on his secretary being a double agent working for Britain
‘Conducting experiments’..
Someday, I hope I reach the point where I can play chess in a giant claw foot tub with a somewhat more attractive woman. That is how to enjoy your old age!
God dammit Adams 😂
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWKWARD!!!
(Should've listened to Mr. Bancroft, John....)
If you please, I shall throw up now.
Excellent historical Drama.
@zbt518, wow! How cool, I didn't know that! Makes sense though, considering there were so many double-agents in France spying on the Americans at that time. It's a wonder how Mr. Adams and Franklin got anything done with so many eyes watching them. xD Thanks for the comment! :)
@BWCxJSM, it really is a great scene! :) You should totally check out the rest of the series, it's awesome!
Franklin was a cozy hound lmao 😂
He's on the 100 dollar note. Congrats America.
