He knows how to keep his job.
How to keep his job: yes
How to DO his job: ....not so much
Only a bureaucrat could beat that :-)
Comical
Smells like a politician. Chooses the best personal option when confronted with a choise.
...and his *head*
I love how much of the story was conveyed just by the movement of the spears.
😶🤔🤦👍🙋
We got the point.
@@blackswan6963I see what you did there
I like how he already had a new uniform up there with him
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how England was founded
:O :O
HA HA HA HA!!! Historically correct!
And now it’s time for tea
Legends say, this tradition is carried out to this day.
😁😁😁😁😁👍
The secret to longevity is flexibility.
Lesson : Lock the door when you come home
@Jacob Zondag That's why bastions/towers had holes in them.
Also don't let your soldiers use heirloom gear, equip them well.
Hot oil was rarely thrown at attackers because of its high cost. Boiling water and other nasty stuff was more common.
That guard knew how to play the Game of Thrones
😀😀

The thing is though, this animation is actually a really good summary of just how little people cared about most wars. When the guard drops his helmet and asks for it back, the attackers just see him as a guy who's lost his helmet and try to help him. When they hit him in the head, you can see they're all looking up to see if he's all right. When he opens the gate, they don't immediately run him down but instead wait for him to get his helmet. Obviously the situation is exaggerated here, but not that much; if you do just a cursory amount of research, you'll find all kinds of stories about soldiers on supposedly opposite sides of a conflict being friendly to each other, declaring ceasefires on Christmas, playing football, etc. Yes, there were/are wars where the opposing armies genuinely hate each other, but for the most part, the humans involved in the fighting still recognized each other as humans (70% of the foot soldiers who survived WWII admitted intentionally missing as many shots as they could because they couldn't bring themselves to kill a person). And the end where the guard shrugs and puts on a different colored shirt shows how little it meant for the average person who their country's ruler was. Because, at the end of the day, we just want simple things. Like a helmet.
bla bla bla
Couldn't agree more
Nice
I think you are reading too much into it. Yes there have been times in war when both sides have come together in some sort of agreement, but these are very few and far between, I.e. very very rare. In reality, the guard would not be asking for his helmet, no one would be trying to get his helmet back to him, once the drawbridge was down the invading force would have entered and the guard either quickly killed or taken prisoner.
The statistic about WW2 is about right. Military training after that focused on breaking down people's natural reluctance to kill each other. However, there has always been quite a bit of raping and pillaging. How does that fit into your theory?
Short history of Scotland...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Don't know many Scots, do ya?
To be fair that guard did a pretty good job defending his country considering he’s the sole member of their army.
Fantastic! I love how simply the characters are drawn. This less than 2 minute video gave me such a GREAT BIG laugh! Thank you so much!
i'm impressed how simple design is enough to make a good animated short like this
I love the quality of this, lowering detail allows you to increase quality without sacrificing too much time and in my opinion quality is always preferable to detail.
You are amazing" Birdbox Studio".
I laughed mightily at this little gem.
So much conveyed and yet so much left to the imagination in this hugely tiny epic.
I am absolutely in awe of what you do, and even more delighted that you do it.
I wish you rainbows.
That's why mom always warns about door...keep it closed
these guys make great animations!
i love them all.
The guy behind this (Ant Blades) is now working on a project for Nickelodeon called It’s Pony
Do you still alive
The sound design is great.
moral of the story: tailor-fit your guards' helmets.
The Terraria bow sound effect was just the cherry on the cake for this excellent animation
When you tell the guard to protect his equipment above all else:
Best guard ever!
So much detail in a simple animation. Brilliant.
Bird box studio, you absolutely rock!....my kind of humour, love it!
It's like " दल बदलू friend " 😂😂😂
I just love these animation, even more than Disney when it was 11 years old
such a nice way of telling a story
A very simple, but a very funny animation. BfK. 👍 ⭐🎬⭐🎬⭐🎬⭐🎬⭐😘
Sometimes might must not need to destroy little,
Instead it can add some little to his strength
That little “yay!” at the end tho 😂
Яркий пример перекрашивания - отлично подходит для политиков 😂😂😂
Showing the value of locking the door behind you....
Brilliant piece of work. So Monty Python! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is correctly matching for politician
Thanks for the smile.
I’ve loved this type of animation since childhood 👍
Should nominated for Oscar animated short.
MORAL OF THE STORY : ALWAYS GUARD YOUR HAT 🙊👦
Excellent
These are always brilliant! Love 'em!

Moral of the story; always secure your helmet!😀😀
This is my second birdbox. They are fantastic.

This is beauiful keep it up
I love the sound the soldier's making when he's throwing the helmet up to the tower :D
After watching it so many times I'm starting to wonder this is not the first time the castle swaps hands.
That's what you get for not fitting your guards with the right helmet.
this channel inspired to start my own animation channel... thank you birdbox
That guard could be one of my ancestors. Lol 😄

simply epic
"There may be conflicts and fights, but in the end it doesn't even matter, we're humans who cares for each other and just wants to keep a healthy but friendly environment unless there's poison and that is the root of war."
- A philosopher that I forgot
Maybe the philosopher is the friends we made along the way.
11 years ago..unbelievable
Oh man!... awesomely funny!
Love it
watched all videos at once YAY
Cool cartoon )Well reflects the senselessness of wars.
Various message involve in this short film
Omg so good😂😂😂, and thank you comment section I learned from your history knowledge/opinions/hypotheses today
I like such this kind of animation. Happy birthday, Yoongi :>
I've seen all the videos on your channel! You are amazing!! Great works!! :D ^-^
Awesome
yep makes no difference to him, who thinks their the boss
there will be another one along in a minute
Good job👍
This is what it's like to be a contractor. At the end of the contract, if it ends up going to another company, it's easier to just hire everyone already doing the jobs and give them new shirts than hire and train their own people.
Modern businesses would rather replace the existing staff with incompetent morons who cost less.
Here after 10 years ago
Good job !
Brilliant! 🤣
That's gold.
Lol cute, funny and so adorable.
11 years nice
You wont believe this, but something very much like this happened in real life . The English were holding Shrewsbury castle . While fighting the Welsh in the middle ages . There had been a lull in the fighting for a few months and things had quieten down. One Sunday morning the garrison trooped out, going to church. Leaving solders guarding the main entrance ,( some say only 2) . The Welsh seizing their opportunity, rushed in, over powering the defenders . But it was done very quickly with very little noise. When the English returned , after church they were more then a little upset, to find new lodgers !
Oh noooo! 😂
They could have avoided such unpleasantry if they were just atheists.
Hahaha brilliant! Atleast the guard didn't die XD
He is a professional!
Love u
Some people really do need helmets so they dont hurt themselves
Best!
Definitely a smart guy!
He'll have to switch shirts again, he forgot to close the gate.
