Nascar is pretty big in the US and has been for a long time. It actually has a pretty cool history. It originated from bootleggers during prohibition. The bootleggers would modify their cars to be as fast as possible, in order to outrun police when they were smuggling illegal alcohol, like moonshine. They tried to keep their cars looking as stock as possible so they wouldn't stand out, but should they have to run from police, their cars were capable of outrunning them. After prohibition was abolished, the former bootleggers invented stock car racing which turned into Nascar. The cars that use to used in Nascar started out as bone stock cars bought from a car dealership and were then modified to be as fast as possible, and they usually had V8 engines, just like the old bootleggers cars. Today Nascars are obviously not cars bought from a dealership and then modified, they're purpose built specifically for Nascar racing, but they try to make the body of the car look somewhat like the car they're trying to model it after.
@AzureWolf168 probably not, yeah. There's a lot of things throughout history that directly lead to other things or lead to things being invented. For example, The Treaty Of Versailles, at the end of WWI directly lead to WWII because it was extremely draconian in its treatment of Germany, the terms of the treaty completely destroyed the German economy which directly lead to the conditions in Germany that allowed Hitler to come into power. I love history, because it's so interesting to learn about how even the littlest thing can lead to something huge.
@AzureWolf168 WWII is extremely interesting, so many things we have today originated during WWII, a lot of really good thing, and some not so good, specifically nuclear weapons... but at the same time, we wouldn't have the most efficient and, believe it or not, the safest and cleanest way of producing electricity, nuclear power... Which has a bad name I know, but thats only because people don't understand it, they don't look at statistics, they just think, nuclear power bad, when that couldn't be further from the truth, if we want to be serious about creating efficient green power, we need to go nuclear... WWII is also extremely interesting because of how American industry just came together and produced things for the war at lightning speed. Car companies stopped making civilian cars and instead made tanks, jeeps, and planes. The Singer sewing machine company made guns. American families were encouraged to save things like bacon grease because it could be used to make nitroglycerin for explosives.
@AzureWolf168 sadly, I believe you're correct on that. Our society today is fucked. I'm only 30 and I look at the things gen Z does and I just shake my head... can't say anything they don't like or have a different opinion or they'll get extremely offended... My son is only 2 and I'm terrified of the society he'll be growing up in... on a more positive note though, another interesting part of WWII, and just history in general, is learning the weird little facts that they don't teach you in school. For example, how the US attempted to make a cat guided bomb, yes, a CAT guided bomb... they based it off the fact that cats don't like water and would therefore steer the bomb towards the dry deck of a Japanese ship... how they expected the cat to know how to steer the damn thing? I have no idea, and evidently they didn't know either, because it failed miserably. We also tried to make incendiary bats... bats that had incendiary devices surgically implanted in them... they wanted to drop them over Japan so they'd burn down Japanese cities when they roosted in them. Would have worked great, if some of them hadn't been released accidentally and ended up torching a generals car...
@AzureWolf168 Idk, learning about the weird quirks of the nazi high command is actually pretty funny. If they were around today, they'd 100% be the kind of people that would sit in their moms basement playing dungeons and dragons or magic the gathering or some shit like that... they were disgusting, horrible people, but they had some really weird little quirks... like how Hermann Goering insisted that his personal servants refer to him as "iron man"...
@AzureWolf168 oh and Heinrich Himmler spent a fortune in nazi money sending SS men to find mystical objects around Europe, because he had an obsession with the ocult.
I was a radio DJ or commercial writer when I got out of college...one of the parody commercials I wrote was for Vagasil. The hook was from Jay-Z's 99 Problems. It went like this "If you're using the other leading brand I feel bad for you hun, because I got 99 problems but an itch ain't one" I actually sent it into Vagasil to see if they wanted to buy it hahaha I didn't hear anything back....I feel like they let a hilarious opportunity pass them by
1979 Daytona 500 is what put NASCAR on the map. That same year NCAA college basketball was put on the map with the Bird vs Magic matchup in that year's championship game, setting up their classic 80s Celtics/Lakers rivalry.
Seeing a bunch of suggestions for “WTF” (S13 E10) which is a great suggestion HOWEVER you gotta watch “Goobacks” (S8 E7) first as there are jokes you won’t get if you don’t see Goobacks first. Both are hysterical but watch Goobacks first.
The stereotype of nascar fans, and is pretty true, are usually white people who’ve lived in a single wide trailer home for multiple generations and live off of chips and beer
GREETINGS EARTH GUY: NASCAR comes out of the Appalachian culture of the Eastern/Southern U.S. It was carried across the South by long-distance truck drivers. There's definitely some classism associated with it as revealed by the title of this episode. Appalachian culture is the object of derision in American culture where "hill billies" and "po' white trash' is how they're usually referred to.
Cartman raised his kill count by a hell of a lot this episode.. and yet nobody is mentioning how many people he killed and the property damage. lol Pretty sure he also stole several hundreds of dollars worth of Vagisil.
There are more poor hoarders simply bc there there are way more poor people that rich people. By percentage, there are probably more rich hoarders by percentage bc they can afford extra houses and storage spaces.
Fun example, Alice Walton (one of the heirs of the Walmart fortune) bought and hoarded so many great works of art that she was sued by the great art museums of the world. She had such a vast collection that they claimed it was a crime against human culture to allow her to hoard so much art away from public view and store it in conditions that allowed masterpieces to deteriorate. It ended with Walton building a world class art museum in Bentonville Arkansas.
Ive watched all of your reactions and I just found your channel. Ive been looking forward to this one too. Some other good ones are cash for gold and WTF.

12:59 “I wasn’t born with a plastic spoon in my mouth”😂😂😂
"It looks like a sun cream, but for the places that cannot be reached by the sun" that should be their slogan

“Wtf“ S13-Ep10 is the funniest South Park, They start their own WWE organization wrestling 😂😂, who is with me!?????
Cartman does make sure his mom loses her job but that's a different episode all together

*Thanks for bring the context*
7:10 That was actually quite clever. :D
I'm glad you caught it too 😂 Super funny joke
I'm pretty sure NASCAR drivers come from rich or upper middle class families. They can't just be good drivers, they need fundraising abilities.
I dont know how to explain why but I find this episode funny as fuck since I was very young. It is one of my favourites
I still remember being in stitches the first time I saw it.
same
Episode "Cartmans incredible gift" us one of the best😂
Vagasil is 100% a thing
FR
I have friends from Moldova and Bulgaria so it cracks me up whenever you make fun of those countries.
There is no such thing as "friends from bulgaria"
@@acidead97As a bulgarian I concur
There is an episode about wrestling.
The episode is named "WTF".
S13E10
I cant wait for that one lmao
Would love to see a reaction on the episode:
"child abduction isn't funny"
Don't let the title fool you, the episode is funny as hell😂😂
22:55 Oh my God! You killed everybody except Kenny! You bastard!
The stereotype of nascar fans, and is pretty true, are usually white people who’ve lived in a single wide trailer home for multiple generations and live off of chips and beer
Kenny is so mad this episode 😂😂😂
14:26 Fishy channel lmao😂
10:24 did you just use the R word!? Omg. PC principal will lose his mind 🤣 ‘Stunning and brave’ (19x01).

You like Nascar don't you Kenny? 😂
The dolphin sound is so loud!
It woke me up, literally
Sorry for that, I'll turn it down next time 😅
Q: "Why is there no American Formula One race team?"
A: "Because Formula One race cars have to steer to the left *_and_* to the right."

Oh boy.
Ive watched all of your reactions and I just found your channel. Ive been looking forward to this one too. Some other good ones are cash for gold and WTF.
Vagasil is so tasty in coffee!
I saw how proud of your penicillin joke you were and I think you should be 😊
One of the best episodes ever💯
10:22 i think you pronounced Twitter wrong there.
Eric Cartman would not be able to drive that car, those cars are not automatics.
They have push button ignition
@@Joedirt3349 and Positrac? Damn….
hello toli! I really recommend s16 e11, Going Native
When i first watch this. i thought this episode was an ad for vagisil
This episode is weird. It’s so hilarious but I can’t explain why.
Have you reacted to any Conan O’Brien? His skits are Hilarious stuff
they have a wrestling episode! it’s pretty good! season 13 episode 10! also watch your vids everyday and love your content!
One of the best episodes
Woop woop
Dats the sound of the police!
I dunno. After "Lets go Brandon" im pretty convinced that Nascar is only for poor and stupid people. 😆
Let's go Brandon was the aloof media person. The crowd was chanting Fuck Joe Biden.
#cornpopdidnothingwrong
Who is this guy ?
He is the best SOUTH PARK reaction channel in TH-cam
W.T.F
If it smells like fish make a dish
