Simon: Nah, you don't want to see that! Here is Simon's new Channel, OnlySheath. For only £9.99 you can receive a pair of worn sheath worn on this show along with a picture of Simon lounging in front of an open fire wearing them. For those with "other tastes" you can get them in ranges of worn uses from "slightly warm and worn" to "Mountain biking in the wilderness for 10 days worn"
While Simon is likely referring to Brian May of Queen, who holds a PhD in astrophysics, there’s also Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring. He holds a PhD in molecular biology.
And then there’s Dolph Lundgren, who, while not a rock musician, is still a pretty awesome 80s icon who holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering.
I didn't know that about Dexter Holland. I always liked The Offspring back before Americana. That album had maybe 1 or 3 songs that were good but I just wasn't a fan. Not even sure what came after that. But nothing will ever compare to Smash and Ignition. Ixnay had some good ones too, but I found was slightly less memorable, as was their self titled album. And I'm especially surprised about Dolph Lundgren since he was always portrayed as a more jockish type character. You know, muscular, athletic, basically the stereotypical opposite of who you'd expect to have a Masters degree.
Brian May is the lead guitarist for Queen and is also an astrophysicist. He said in an interview that he wanted something to fall back on just in case Queen wasn’t successful.
Over the past 8 days I have been driving and adventuring around the US covering 6000 miles and for almost all of it I have been listening to the fact boy and all his channels. Not many people have the gift to keep me entertained for that long! King!
Definitely my favourite fact and tangent provider. Pure facts followed simon telling me again for the 300th time he was on art attack as a kid😂 p.s. I loved art attack. Sad about the guy who presented it😢
I remember Volkswagen doing a commercial with Stevie Wonder. A Beetle drove past, and Stevie punched his friend. The guy asked how he always did that. I love that he played into the conspiracy
25:30 Some blind people can still "see" or respond to visual stimuli because their eyes still work and send signals to the brain, but it gets interrupted along the way to the part that processes vision. Not that Stevie had this, but some people who can't see can still walk through a crowded room or react to a bright light.
I have known more than one blind person and to someone who can see initially it is weird how someone with no sight can know who has just entered a room with them. However this is because the whole thing of other senses being heightened instead is true. It is usually sound that gives you away as to who has entered a room most people have a sound fairly unique to themselves in their family simply because of height and weight differences. Knowing how huge Shaq is he can probably be heard miles away. As for catching a item falling next to you, even sighted people do that without looking. We have way more than 5 senses.
It's not so much your senses being heightened as your focused on them. I am not blind but could tell who was coming home by the keys in the door and how they closed the door. Could also tell when my dad was home by the sound of the car even if he just drove past to find a parking spot at the end of the street. If the stairs made a sounds I could tell from they way they walked up.
I can see and I can often recognize people by their sound, it only works with people I know moderately well and I can't always tell my brothers apart by their sound(they are both roughly the same height and weight, and move in a moderately similar fashion)
Legally blind person weighing in here, although I have some what they call residual vision, it's a good point. I like listening to some sports, I've been known to catch things when they fall because I hear them, I used to have a friend who I always could smell when he came in a room because his mother used a ton of a particular type of fabric softener, and there's nothing more guaranteed to piss me off than accusing me of faking or exaggerating my vision problem. Oh yes, I've put myself through a lifetime of inconvenience and true difficulty just to troll my friends and acquaintances. Herpa Derp!
My kids and I back in the kids wrestling days, used to know a blind wrestler who had to be led by the hand out to the center of the mat. Stone blind. But when the whistle blew he could always grab his opponent like a cat. He was undefeated. Amazing wrestler. He said he could hear people moving by the sound of the deafening screaming parents and kids as it waxed and waned.
I was just going to say something similar. Residual vision is a thing. Not all blind people see nothing. And a lot of people enjoy experiences that some people watch by using other senses. I love putting on movies and just listening to them without watching them at all.
I have a suggestion for a future BB episode that SIMON WILL LOVE! "CEOs and heads of state who chose to rely on astrology/voodoo/fortune cookies/etc." (For example, the President of Haiti in 1963 claimed he had caused the assassination of JFK using the power of voodoo! (Allegedly.))
Watching Simon trying summon Richard Gere with "he always appears, he always appears" was what I needed getting ready for work on Saturday morning. May The Gere Bless You. Amen.
Samuel, could you perhaps photoshop a young beardless Simon in the 'factboy' meme? In his early years Simon looked so yoithfull, naive and innocent, I think it will drive the meme even further than now. Also, the teeth are more prominent and might add to the whole picture :) Great job with the edit al always. This was a fun episode, hopefully a 2nd part.
I just watched his video The Truth About Diamonds the other day (from 7 years ago) and he looks SO much younger. No beard and no glasses - he almost looks a different person.
Queens Brian May has a degree in astrophysics. He put his doctorate on hold half way through his thesis to tour with Queen. If he had released it when he was due to he would have written a revolutionary paper, however his hiatus of many years meant someone beat him to it.
I feel poor old Professor Brian Cox of D:ream and CERN fame isn't getting the recognition he deserves in these comments. Everyone is mentioning loads of people that have honorary degrees. This guy is actually doing the work! Also, Simon needs to start using his own Beard Blaze oils, cos that sticky out bit on the right is feckin distracting... 🤭
This summer I had to convince a child that Michael Jackson wasn't coming from America to Iceland to kill her and when she asked how I knew I told her he has been dead for a long time. It took some convincing but she eventually calmed down. She then got really interested in his life and asked me about his life story and I was like "how the fuck do I make this appropriate for a child and don't accidentally teach her stuff she is not old enough to know and me a stranger am not gonna explain?" I somehow managed to tell her kinda what his life was like but then told that he ended up being a bad person despite how good his music was. It was difficult. Though my favourite was when she asked me what he looked like and saw the difference, she went to her dad and said "look dad, he used to look good but then he was ugly!" In a very exited way. Kids are brutally honest XD But yeah she had a genuine fear of him coming to murder her after her cousin showed her Thriller.
I remember Thriller: I completely understand why it scared her; if I was that young the first time I saw it, I'd have been just as scared, and my Mom would probably have to suppress laughter while she explained.
@@zemorph42 I first saw it around 7 years old and it was horrifying. Though we kinda deserved it. Basically when I was 7 my teacher allowed us to pick songs on TH-cam and we girls would always pick the song Baby by Justin B. So to spite us they put thriller on and we deserved it, the song sucked anyway, I don't get why we were obsessed.
I am enthralled with your story. In what setting have you encountered a small girl who approached you, a stranger, to alleviate her terrible new fear of an impending Michael Jackson assault? With her dad nearby? And you found a way to explain it to her? so much so that she then came back to you, still a stranger, for further clarification? Haha Maybe I'm not understanding the details correctly but I really want to know how that played out.
@@Andy-Ajax-Jackson Yeah it is a very unusual thing to happen XD I was on a camping trip with my little cousin and we went on the playground. We were on that thing where each person sits on the other side of it and you go up and down. After my cousin was done this little girl asked me if I could help her play on it and I said yes. Michael Jackson had seemingly been non stop on her mind which is common for someone that age when you are scared of something. It was definitely not what I expected to happen to me that day XD
@@ajstevens1652 lol For 30 years!!! But then the Alamo is a sacred place for a lot of people. Especially for the memory of the people who died defending it. Like Davey Crockett, and Jim Bowie and William Travis. If you don't know the story, it's a very good read. 175 Americans fought 1,500 Mexican soldiers. Every one of the Americans were killed, but the Mexican army, even though they won the battle, suffered twice as many casualties in the end.
@@righty-o3585 All well and good but Ozzy Osbourne had never heard of the Alamo and had no idea it was even a famous building. He gone out drinking at the bars. Sharon had taken all his clothes to try to keep him in the hotel room, so he put on one of Sharon's dresses and went to the bars. On the way back in the dark, he had to take a piss, saw what he thought was just some random building and took a piss. He didn't know what he was pissing on. People from England don't know the Alamo.
I'm blind and therefore, know something about it. I've only been blind for about the last 18 years from a progressive condition. I do a lot of the things that Stevy Wonder has been observed doing. He's been blind all his life. I'm sure he's better at it than I am.
That’s me. I’m not completely blind. I do have plenty of perception of things happening around me even if it’s much less detailed. I can’t really re-print anymore so I use my phone and my computer with special software to allow me to interact with the screen and text and things like that in real time. Another fun fact is people seem to assume that blind people have a natural affinity towards music. This is not true! Yes I am a guitar player who’s actually done some session recording over the years and enjoys playing in both live bands and solo shows. But music was an absolute struggle for me from day one and it took me years to even start to remotely like it
Yes. Others might have tunnel vision, which allows only to see a very narrow cone in the middle of your eyes, which means you can see a person with black glasses and a white cane tapping about on the subway, get in a seat, pull out a newspaper, and start reading. Can read alright, but can´t see nearly enough to be able to safely navigate around.
My favourite (and I use that word advisedly) Ozzy story was when, in a hotel, Sharon confiscated all his clothes so he couldn't go out drinking, and he just put on one of her dresses and proceeded to get hammered. Not the healthiest lifestyle, but it does show a level of dedication.
Detective: What was the cause of death? Coroner: Asphyxiation. Detective: So he was strangled. Coroner: No. He was laughing too hard at, "Notice me senpai, notice me."
Can you imagine being Sharon at that business meeting, seeing Ozzy decapitate a dove with his teeth, and thinking, "That's the man I'm going to marry!"
Sharon fired an assistant for not going back inside the burning house to rescue artwork I believe it was. Ozzy or Sharon had started the fire in the first place. She actually acted like she was in the right. There is a clip of her talking about it on Would I Lie To You, with her admitting it was true
6:50 Queen guitarist Brian May has a PHD in astrophysics. Also: +Brian Cox Keyboardist for D.Ream and Dare has a PHD in Particle Physics +Milo Aukerman of Descendents has a PHD in biology There are a lot more musicians with PHD's in things like music and English as well...

Check out the song gerbil by stephen lynch! And then his other songs! And sam and danny, that dance is a thing of beauty. I hope Simon lets you out, or organizes a live stream and gets you to perform. It's sure to satisfy his capitalist heart!
Simon makes a great point, ive known people who are genuinely racist, N this and N that, and I get in their car and they have a rap song blasting from the speakers. Edit In fact it literally happened 3 days ago. You have to be a very hard-core racist to let it effect your musical tastes
I once had a friend who told me the only rappers he likes are Eminem, Mac Miller, and Macklemore. It was at that moment I realized he was probably a racist.
9:30 - Chapter 1 - Michael Jackson wanted to be white 15:00 - Mid roll ads 18:00 - Chapter 2 - Marisa tomei shouldn't have win an oscar 22:05 - Chapter 3 - Stewie wonder isn't really blind 27:55 - Chapter 4 - Ozzy osbourne intentionally bit the head of a bat on stage - Chapter 5 - - Chapter 6 -
Brian May of Queen has a PhD in astrophysics also though no one brought it up Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden is also highly educated as well as being qualified to fly just about whatever plane he wants to fly.
I remember reading about Bruce flying a plane with Eddie's face on it. If i remember correctly at least one time there were Maiden fans on that flight heading to a Maiden concert
If I recall right, the hair was to cover a fuckton of scaring on his scalp after his hair was set on fire by a misfiring pyrotechnic while filming a Pepsi advert. It ws also when he started on the pain pills .
I was born and grew up close to Des Moines. The bat thing is famous world wide for sure. One of the big radio stations there had a recording where he says: "Des Moines? Thats where the bat happened? How are your bats these days?". And that was prob in the last 5 years. My point being, the "bat incident" was and is one of the huge focal points when it comes to Ozzy. And he has used it for decades.
They say when you lose a sense, the other senses are enhanced. There's a blind guy who is a surfer and he does it because he can actually feel the drawback before the wave comes, something sighted people just wouldn't pay attention to
26:40 The absolute funniest part of GTA San Andreas is later in that storyline when CJ walks in with some blueprints and is like "I know you're blind, but you gotta see this"
Sharon told a similar story in an interview once but she said they were at an outside event (I think a wedding) with some posh people (I don't remember who) and Ozzy walked over and sat down on the woman's lap. They had just released dozen of doves at the event. After Ozzy sat down a dove landed on his knee and without skipping a beat Ozzy reached over, grabbed it and bit it's head off. Ozzy said that he was so high that he doesn't remember doing it. I wonder which version is true. Or if this event lead to the other. . . In the land of Ozzy, it would make sense.
Stevie Wonder when asked about a cheese grater he had received as a Christmas gift remarked " It's the most violent book I have ever read ".....cheers.
Stevie wonder was many years older than 11 in 1971. He was "Little" Stevie Wonder in Beach Party movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello in the early 1960s. Pretty sure he was about 14 in that movie.
I've watched his other channels, and I must say, this one's personality is that of a hyperactive happy ADHD teenager on cocaine and Red Bull. I like it.
Heh. Remember the sketch on David Letterman when they had Anton (the drummer of the show's band) bite the head off a fake bat in an homage to the Ozzy moment.
I never buy stuff from sponsors usually but I love this channel. You have proper cheered me up so many times when I have been down and the way you did that sponsor cracked me right up, so I got three pairs for the other half for xmas
If you're looking to make a part 2 there's always the Marilyn Manson autofellatio myth about removing his ribs. I don't think anyone really knows where that one came from but Manson said it was likely from a show where he had a female double walk on stage with a strap on for him to come out and... perform on.
You are not quite correct about the saxophonist Ravenscroft. He tried to say that he actually wrote the saxophone solo, and wanted royalties. Fortunately, Gerry Rafferty had recorded the 8 bar riff on guitar before hand so Ravenscroft had no case.
It took me a solid few seconds to figure out why that still of little Simon looked so familiar, and then I realized that Simon with no beard and no glasses reminded me of his very early toptenz videos 🤣🤣🤣
I literally know 2 people with vitiligo, it generally manifests itself early in life (1 of the aforementioned around age 8 and the other age 12) not well into a persons 20's. Both people I know with the condition have random patches of light skin which is more white person pink than undead vampire white, Michael Jackson may have had the condition but it would've been less noticeable if he wasn't bleaching himself undead white all over tbh. Edit: I'm sure Richard Gere will appear in the inevitable sequel episode. 🤣
I believe for Michael Jackson, it was revealed that since he was young he used his original skin color makeup to cover up the white splotches until it was too much to cover, then he started whitening the darker skin. Most of the people I know who have milder vitiligo do the same thing, most of them are lucky to have been lighter skinned though so it’s not a huge issue for them to cover it up. Not everyone is comfortable with their skin and the looks it’ll get them. Edit: I made it sound like I know a lot of people with vitiligo, but I’ve met 3. One guy does have the really pale MJ color, the other 2 have it super mild. One just had his eyelashes turn white and has a lighter skin patch over his eye. Everyone always assumes it’s a burn until they notice the lashes.
That Stevie thing reminds me of Andy Kaufman not being dead.. because he said he would fake it and do a comeback around 2006 or something he did not show up. 😅
Probably not the band Simon had in mind, but Milo Aukerman from Descendents has a PhD in Biology. Similar, Dexter Holland from The Offspring has a PhD in Molecular Biology
When I was in high school I had an Indian friend who had white patches all over. He embraced it. Claimed he was part calico cat just to make people uncomfortable. I wore a big cumbersome back brace, and we had another friend that was in a wheelchair. We were THE weird kids.
Got me twice with that damn car warning light sound effect! Here I am, just bumbling down the road, and I hear "booop booop booop!" Has me scrambling around my dash to see why my truck is yelling at me.
I'm honestly very sorry if this is in any way offensive, but as an American, I find it truly hilarious watching a British guy trying to explain fancy underpants. Because anyone from the States would just be like, 'it's fuckin undies, they cup your junk and shit.' Blush on, Factboy; blush on... 😁
The idea that Stevie Wonder wouldn't be an absolute superstar even if he wasn't blind, is wild. The guy wrote and sung hundreds of amazing songs and has contagious energy and presence.
The skin disease MJ had is called Vitiligo. Also, I believe you were referring to Brian May when talking about someone in a band having a physics degree, lol! It was astrophysics, though. 😁 Edit: oh, nevermind…vitiligo is mentioned later! Because Danny is a legend
I reckon I know what that video of Stevie catching the mic after McCartney hits it while passing in front of Stevie is about.. they have wireless monitors in their ears. And any impact on a mic head when it's turned on gives a distinctive "thud" through the system. Coupled with the fact that Stevie knew McCartney was in front of him, moving about, in the moment, I believe he heard the "thud" through his earpiece, and just instinctively knew what had happened, ie McCartney had hit against his mic, and being a legend he reflexively stuck a hand out to grab the mic he knew was falling over in front of him

On the way back in the dark, he had to take a piss, saw what he thought was just some random building and took a piss. He didn't know what he was pissing on. People from England don't know the Alamo.
I'm blind and therefore, know something about it. I've only been blind for about the last 18 years from a progressive condition. I do a lot of the things that Stevy Wonder has been observed doing. He's been blind all his life. I'm sure he's better at it than I am.
Well got to give you respect for being able to post a comment even with talk to text or whatever way you did it couldn't have been easy?? I think 🤔
@@rookiexreviews I use a keyboard. I learned how to touch type while I could still see.

Sam, I salute you on the Indian Michael Jackson/Thriller song and dance bit. Hysterical!
Another thing with blind people is many of them do still see to some degree, such as still being able to detect movement.
That’s me. I’m not completely blind. I do have plenty of perception of things happening around me even if it’s much less detailed. I can’t really re-print anymore so I use my phone and my computer with special software to allow me to interact with the screen and text and things like that in real time. Another fun fact is people seem to assume that blind people have a natural affinity towards music. This is not true! Yes I am a guitar player who’s actually done some session recording over the years and enjoys playing in both live bands and solo shows. But music was an absolute struggle for me from day one and it took me years to even start to remotely like it
Yes. Others might have tunnel vision, which allows only to see a very narrow cone in the middle of your eyes, which means you can see a person with black glasses and a white cane tapping about on the subway, get in a seat, pull out a newspaper, and start reading. Can read alright, but can´t see nearly enough to be able to safely navigate around.
My favourite (and I use that word advisedly) Ozzy story was when, in a hotel, Sharon confiscated all his clothes so he couldn't go out drinking, and he just put on one of her dresses and proceeded to get hammered. Not the healthiest lifestyle, but it does show a level of dedication.
Detective: What was the cause of death?
Coroner: Asphyxiation.
Detective: So he was strangled.
Coroner: No. He was laughing too hard at, "Notice me senpai, notice me."
Was so happy that meme got thrown in here, my wife and I say idonkno allll the time 🤣
Can you imagine being Sharon at that business meeting, seeing Ozzy decapitate a dove with his teeth, and thinking, "That's the man I'm going to marry!"
She saved his life. He was in a bad place when she got together with him.
According to her brother she's insane, too, just in the more flat out psychopathic way.
Sharon fired an assistant for not going back inside the burning house to rescue artwork I believe it was. Ozzy or Sharon had started the fire in the first place. She actually acted like she was in the right. There is a clip of her talking about it on Would I Lie To You, with her admitting it was true
I demand a video of the Blazement crew dancing a thriller dance 😂
6:50 Queen guitarist Brian May has a PHD in astrophysics.
Also:

There are a lot more musicians with PHD's in things like music and English as well...
Having Simon state that he was born in 1987 makes me feel extremely old. Still luv ya Simon, you young whipper snapper! 👍🏻
I am a year older...lol. I was born in 1988....no wonder I am into this stuff.
*sigh*
We get it, Simon. You're younger than some of us.
But some of us have all of our own hair, so.... Yeah .. youth ain't everything, fact boy!
Other creators: "Oh man I need to add more content to make the video over 10mins to please the algorithm.
Beard Boi: "10 minutes is when we START the content 😂"
Check out the song gerbil by stephen lynch! And then his other songs!
And sam and danny, that dance is a thing of beauty. I hope Simon lets you out, or organizes a live stream and gets you to perform. It's sure to satisfy his capitalist heart!
Simon makes a great point, ive known people who are genuinely racist, N this and N that, and I get in their car and they have a rap song blasting from the speakers.
Edit In fact it literally happened 3 days ago. You have to be a very hard-core racist to let it effect your musical tastes
Usually the rap songs have a similar vocabulary so I can see why
@@InnerDness Touché
Also, Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly
I once had a friend who told me the only rappers he likes are Eminem, Mac Miller, and Macklemore. It was at that moment I realized he was probably a racist.
One of my favourite comedians has mentioned this on his podcast, being white he doesn’t want to say the N word so substitutes “chaps” instead.

Brian May of Queen has a PhD in astrophysics also though no one brought it up Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden is also highly educated as well as being qualified to fly just about whatever plane he wants to fly.
I remember reading about Bruce flying a plane with Eddie's face on it. If i remember correctly at least one time there were Maiden fans on that flight heading to a Maiden concert
@@aceundead4750 yea, I heard about that too. I bet he did a lot of the flying while on tour, hell I would if it was me.

True !
I got a joke for you. How does Michael Jackson pick his nose?
From a catalog.
If I recall right, the hair was to cover a fuckton of scaring on his scalp after his hair was set on fire by a misfiring pyrotechnic while filming a Pepsi advert. It ws also when he started on the pain pills .
Ozzy Osbourne is the poster child for Legends.

I was born and grew up close to Des Moines. The bat thing is famous world wide for sure. One of the big radio stations there had a recording where he says: "Des Moines? Thats where the bat happened? How are your bats these days?". And that was prob in the last 5 years. My point being, the "bat incident" was and is one of the huge focal points when it comes to Ozzy. And he has used it for decades.
Video Idea, legends about Chuck Norris! Could also be a top tenz video.
They say when you lose a sense, the other senses are enhanced. There's a blind guy who is a surfer and he does it because he can actually feel the drawback before the wave comes, something sighted people just wouldn't pay attention to
26:40 The absolute funniest part of GTA San Andreas is later in that storyline when CJ walks in with some blueprints and is like "I know you're blind, but you gotta see this"
Sharon told a similar story in an interview once but she said they were at an outside event (I think a wedding) with some posh people (I don't remember who) and Ozzy walked over and sat down on the woman's lap. They had just released dozen of doves at the event. After Ozzy sat down a dove landed on his knee and without skipping a beat Ozzy reached over, grabbed it and bit it's head off. Ozzy said that he was so high that he doesn't remember doing it. I wonder which version is true. Or if this event lead to the other. . . In the land of Ozzy, it would make sense.
Even if this one didn't happen, I'm choosing to believe this one. I could 100% see it happening. Lmfao

Ozzy's autobiography is SO worth a read. He's a legend, a clown and sone kind of Holy Fool zen master all at the same time.
Myriam bialik from big bang theory ( and blossom in tv show in 90s) is a a neuroscientist.
Ozzy is an absolute legend!!!!!!!
Ahhh, "Blockbusters". A chance for schoolkids on TV to utter the immortal words "I'll have a 'P,' please, Bob". Winning line every time. 🤣
Stevie Wonder when asked about a cheese grater he had received as a Christmas gift remarked " It's the most violent book I have ever read ".....cheers.
Stevie wonder was many years older than 11 in 1971. He was "Little" Stevie Wonder in Beach Party movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello in the early 1960s. Pretty sure he was about 14 in that movie.
Correct. He was born in 1950, so I assume Simon meant to say 1961.
I've watched his other channels, and I must say, this one's personality is that of a hyperactive happy ADHD teenager on cocaine and Red Bull. I like it.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME! Hopefully lots of people see this. I'm sick of correcting the Ozzman story. Props to Danny for the bat and bird!
Heh. Remember the sketch on David Letterman when they had Anton (the drummer of the show's band) bite the head off a fake bat in an homage to the Ozzy moment.
I never buy stuff from sponsors usually but I love this channel. You have proper cheered me up so many times when I have been down and the way you did that sponsor cracked me right up, so I got three pairs for the other half for xmas
Blaze boy you caught me at work so I am late, but you know what else is late the Korea Cut
If you're looking to make a part 2 there's always the Marilyn Manson autofellatio myth about removing his ribs. I don't think anyone really knows where that one came from but Manson said it was likely from a show where he had a female double walk on stage with a strap on for him to come out and... perform on.
33:03 I loved seeing Simon lose his mind. That was sooo gold...
Michael Jackson also suffered serious burns after an accident involving fireworks during the filming of a Pepsi ad.

And Professor Brian Cox of D:ream who also worked on the LHC at CERN.

You are not quite correct about the saxophonist Ravenscroft. He tried to say that he actually wrote the saxophone solo, and wanted royalties. Fortunately, Gerry Rafferty had recorded the 8 bar riff on guitar before hand so Ravenscroft had no case.
She was great in that movie. She deserved the Oscar
Oh that post credits scene.. marvelling it up here
"The Areas of my Expertise" by John Hodgeman is an excellent example of fake trivia.
6:13 you can see how he is torn between "New channel! NOW!" and "that sounds dumb, it won't get views, never mind"
It took me a solid few seconds to figure out why that still of little Simon looked so familiar, and then I realized that Simon with no beard and no glasses reminded me of his very early toptenz videos 🤣🤣🤣
I literally know 2 people with vitiligo, it generally manifests itself early in life (1 of the aforementioned around age 8 and the other age 12) not well into a persons 20's. Both people I know with the condition have random patches of light skin which is more white person pink than undead vampire white, Michael Jackson may have had the condition but it would've been less noticeable if he wasn't bleaching himself undead white all over tbh.
Edit: I'm sure Richard Gere will appear in the inevitable sequel episode. 🤣
My friend has a version of this, his face and scalp are affected and the doctors are scared it will spread to his right eye blinding him
I believe for Michael Jackson, it was revealed that since he was young he used his original skin color makeup to cover up the white splotches until it was too much to cover, then he started whitening the darker skin. Most of the people I know who have milder vitiligo do the same thing, most of them are lucky to have been lighter skinned though so it’s not a huge issue for them to cover it up. Not everyone is comfortable with their skin and the looks it’ll get them.
Edit: I made it sound like I know a lot of people with vitiligo, but I’ve met 3. One guy does have the really pale MJ color, the other 2 have it super mild. One just had his eyelashes turn white and has a lighter skin patch over his eye. Everyone always assumes it’s a burn until they notice the lashes.
My mom had it. I have 2 tiny areas on my right arm that don't tan.
Well, now I know why that woman in those videos (not found on TH-cam) has a white crack. (That just is not hot.)
@@toddnolastname4485 white crack? What women? What?!?
I watch Brain Blaze after Casual Criminalist to lift my spirits. 😂 I love Baker Street🎷🎶🎸
Best Blaze ever! A classic error of comedies.
That Stevie thing reminds me of Andy Kaufman not being dead.. because he said he would fake it and do a comeback around 2006 or something he did not show up. 😅
BLAZE ME WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE, FACT BOY! 🔥
That skeletor is so funny its the first time I rewinded an ad read to see it again
Probably not the band Simon had in mind, but Milo Aukerman from Descendents has a PhD in Biology. Similar, Dexter Holland from The Offspring has a PhD in Molecular Biology
Brian May also has a PhD
31:06 since the first time I watched this video, my favorite “would you rather” question is: …bite into a live bat or a rotting dead bat?”
SAM!!Great little easter-egg @ 33:54 !!! Respect!!
Hey a rebrand of Brain Blaze to made up facts would be great for an April Fool’s video.
I'm still waiting for Danny to write a April Fools' Day episode of TopTenz listing his favorite top ten Simon Whistler channels
Because no matter how much he earned, he could only afford shoes that walked backward.
Thumbs up OG Business Blaze Legends
When I was in high school I had an Indian friend who had white patches all over. He embraced it. Claimed he was part calico cat just to make people uncomfortable. I wore a big cumbersome back brace, and we had another friend that was in a wheelchair. We were THE weird kids.
Wow, Sheath Underwear is VERY relaxed about Simon's ad spots. 😂😂😂
that Skelator just like a woman comment made me actually stop what i was doing and laugh out loud lol
Got me twice with that damn car warning light sound effect! Here I am, just bumbling down the road, and I hear "booop booop booop!" Has me scrambling around my dash to see why my truck is yelling at me.
I'm honestly very sorry if this is in any way offensive, but as an American, I find it truly hilarious watching a British guy trying to explain fancy underpants.
Because anyone from the States would just be like, 'it's fuckin undies, they cup your junk and shit.'
Blush on, Factboy; blush on... 😁
The idea that Stevie Wonder wouldn't be an absolute superstar even if he wasn't blind, is wild.
The guy wrote and sung hundreds of amazing songs and has contagious energy and presence.
Ozzie is a Legend!!
The skin disease MJ had is called Vitiligo. Also, I believe you were referring to Brian May when talking about someone in a band having a physics degree, lol! It was astrophysics, though. 😁
Edit: oh, nevermind…vitiligo is mentioned later! Because Danny is a legend
I was thinking he was meaning Brian Cox but Brian may now send more likely.
Krizz Kaliko, a rapper/singer, has vitiligo. It's actually where he got the Kaliko for his stage name.
Dont tempt the comment section Simon, youd likely be surprised by just how many people would want the Sheath read to be in underwear 😄😄
Guilty.
Wow, I remember all of this. The 80's was a great time to be alive.

@@stephjovi Thank you Stephanie. I tried searching for it myself after he dropped that little nugget of information but had no luck.
@@marcusjay8103 it's insane. But we see Simon very briefly
I reckon I know what that video of Stevie catching the mic after McCartney hits it while passing in front of Stevie is about.. they have wireless monitors in their ears. And any impact on a mic head when it's turned on gives a distinctive "thud" through the system. Coupled with the fact that Stevie knew McCartney was in front of him, moving about, in the moment, I believe he heard the "thud" through his earpiece, and just instinctively knew what had happened, ie McCartney had hit against his mic, and being a legend he reflexively stuck a hand out to grab the mic he knew was falling over in front of him
Very curious, which Danny shirt sold more?
Danny left the gerbil legend for the sequel. Of which there will probably be several since this seems like a very short video.
