Don't worry. Mole lived until the very start of season 2 and you were told he died in his sleep over winter by Freezing to death. If I recall correctly he was the friend of the old Badger who carried him all the way there from Farthing Wood on his back. Now just need to watch a bit of Watership Down and will be set for the night!
SO my Dad used to be a draftsman for a pretty big company operating out of my tiny (like not even 3500 people at the time) hometown, and the school asked for volunteers to come and talk to the Seniors (last year of high school) at the school about their profession. He volunteered, and decided to use an areal photo of the school for the example. He also decided to photoshop a pool on top of the main building and refused to acknowledge it the ENTIRE presentation. Needless to say that caused CHAOS and it was hilarious.
I've always thought the "You wouldn't steal a car" argument is really dumb. Yeah I wouldn't steal a car but if I had a device that could make a perfect copy of a car I see on the street without damaging the original you bet your ass I would do it.
Yeah it's amazingly dumb, the megaphor doesn't work at all. I love the parodies that slogan produced, though. Very fond of my desktop wallpaper that says YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A *BEAR* ... It's right, I wouldn't 😂 Edit nearly a year later: I meant "metaphor" but I feel like "megaphor" is a great neologism & I'm open to suggestions on what we should declare it to mean

Danny, I’m so sorry to hear that your house passed away. A lot of older houses aren’t well insulated and when they start bleeding their blood can’t clot, like hemophilia.
I never get the difficulty for UK folks to pronounce taco. They use the phrase "Ta" or "Tata" as a farewell, just put "co" at the end. Here in the Southern US it can also sound like "Taw*coh".
Simon at Beginning of Video: Hah! I was never scared by kids' shows! Simon at End of Video: Realizes he was actually so scared by kids' shows he repressed the memories
I found out halfway through highschool that my school had an old abandoned pool in the building they long ago cut off access to. As the news spread students said it was because a girl drowned. Finally a teacher told me the true boring story by saying "hell no. That shits just a bunch of storage now. Do you know expensive it is to run a pool? At a public school!? We don't have that kind of money!" So budget killed the pool ☹️
“Cham-a-leon”. I know there are lots of words pronounced differently in British and American English, chameleon however, is not one of them. This was just Simon-ism gold. And now I’ve watched 10 min more and have totally been trolled. Lol
My old school had a complete floor that had been mostly abandoned since the 80s (we're talking like 2010 here) and going there was always odd. We had the art room in the hallway right next to it and would go there sometimes as a dare. The lights were mostly flickering or didn't work at all, some rooms had like a single class a week and were kept in some order (with paint chipping off the walls and writing all over) while others were nearly completely fallen apart and had just bare concrete left. And there was a room named "Methodenraum", basically a room for storing maps and such, but we pulled off some letters so it said "Hodenraum", which translates to "testicle room".
my middle school had a basement that wasn't used by the students. I think it was being used for storage and by janitorial staff and stuff because it wasn't in dis-repair like yours but there were no classes down there and students would only once in a great while ever be led down there as a class for some very specific reason, no one really went down there normally. But the middle school was connected to the high school and the high school needed more space so they took some rooms on the other side and the middle school started using the basement again for classes shortly after i went to high school.
We in our school had a room filled with civil protection stuff - gas masks, dosimeters, antidotes for chemical warfare etc. Antidote against phosphoroorganic chemical weapons (like Sarin, Soman, Tabun etc) had hallucinogenic effect.
@@rcknbob1 Honestly, I don't know who first discovered it, probably bored soldiers. But it became common knowledge in certain circles. That stuff was called Taren (active substance Aprofene, PubChem CID 71128). By civil defence signal about chemical attack, you have to take one pill (and follow other directions). In case of symptoms of organophosphate poisoning, you have to take another pill. But already the first pill will cause condition similar to drunkedness (harder to keep balance while walking). Second pill (if used without actual chemical attack) will create a lot of visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations. Some crazy people used higher doses, with corresponding increase of effects. But the memory was also impaired, so you only remember part of your adventures. Other will tell your friends lately. Not very toxic (LD50 in mice is 125 mg/kg and one pill have 25 mg), but you can die by walking out of window etc. Don't cause euphoria or any positive feelings. Sometimes cause negative feelings or can show you nightmares IRL.
Jurassic Park was my bad dream movie. I would wake up to the T. rex staring at me while she was thinking about feeding me to her babies because life finds a way
In Are You Afraid of the Dark the one actor the main guy was Ross Hull, became a Meteorologist and was a local one for me here in Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario. He has since moved to a national broadcast in Toronto.
Seeing Simon get visibly excited to watch the X-Files brightened my day to an unexpected degree ; u ; Relatable closet sci-fi fan simon warms my whole heart
Quote from the author of Are You Afraid Of The Dark: "There's two kinds of people--people who hate clowns, and clowns." DJ MacHale is great and anyone who liked that show should read Morpheus Road (and Pendragon, where I grabbed that quote)
@@Hromovlad1 I find the whole scared of clowns thing funny because when I was young only kids under 5 were scared of clowns. What's next fear of bush babies?
Mr. Noseybonk has one eye looking at you and one eye looking at the eldritch horror he serves, for fear that his master will betray him and replace him with a more powerful being.
Man, I still remember that pool monster. It's aesthetic was spot on, one of the few creatures that stuck with me from the show. I wonder if 'The Tale of the Dead Mans Float' would still hold any scare factor today.
80s and 90s PSAs aimed at kids were the most terrifying thing. I vividly remember one about a kid with a toaster and there was a grim reaper showing him all the dangers before a big reveal that it was actually his own ghost...
I remember as a kid one PSA that really scared me was one where a teenager wasn’t paying attention when crossing the road and got hit by a white van and the camera pans down to him laying across the road with blood pouring out his nose. This was shown on the tv in a doctors waiting room
I remember the one about the bad drug trips with a young Helen Hunt tripping-balls at high school and smashing out of the second floor. Can't remember if she died in that one.
Most of my generation were conditioned into wearing seat-belts by a particularly insidious and relentless campaign that still troubles our sleep to this day. Even now, I occasionally wake, bolt upright at 3am with a horrible Leeds accent echoing "Klunk Klick, Every Trip . . " Ad don't even get me started on "Charlie says . . . . " th-cam.com/video/y3FnCiRpdQ4/w-d-xo.html
I don't think it was the original "This is your brain on drugs", but the one in that series where the chick (I think it was the chick from She's All That, maybe) smashes not just the egg but then smashes up a whole kitchen with a frying pan while shouting about how doing drugs will destroy your whole life and everyone in it. Didn't traumatize me (sure didn't stop me from being a thorough drug experimenter either lol) but in retrospect, holy crap that was heavy
I'm keeping my mistakes for prosperity. You got me Simon. You win. This time. I'm gonna thumbs up my own comment. 19:00 - All good so far on the pronunciation front. 19:03 - "CHAM-A-LEE-ON". 19:10 - He says it again, he's being serious about this! 19:19 - Take 3.
Sounds like Simon is remembering the 1990s reboot of The Outer Limits. Dude, check out the original run of the series from the early 1960s, holds up quite well and is pretty heavy. Especially "The Architects Of Fear", which really scared the crap out of me as a child!. Surprised that Doctor Who didn't get a shout-out, seeing as it started out as a kid's show meant to teach children about history and science. Then the Daleks showed up a few weeks later.....
The Ramses Curse episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog is the only thing I remember bothering me as a kid. Despite having seen some actual horror movies around the same years.
I loved the song but yeah man I was double digit age when Courage came out. That early CG and the character design and voice bothered me a lot. That's the only episode that I don't like watching. But that episode where the fox tries making Cajun Granny Stew is one of my favorites
You actually named, described and showed images of one of the two episodes that to this day haunt me from watching Are You Afraid of the Dark as a kid. Still get chills swimming alone in a pool to this day.
Me too! When he mentioned Are You Afraid of the Dark? I immediately said it has to be the pool one! It was the only one that I remember and that haunts me.
I slept with covers around my neck (the vampire neighbors) and refused to hang my feet over a bed (the fairytale episode) for years cause of that show!! Definitely a thrilling kids’ show.
That bastard fooled me through the whole "chameleon" bit into thinking he just straight up brainfarted the word and didn't realize it was a reference to the animal lol
I'm so glad that "Dead Man's Float" was mentioned in the "Are You Afraid of the Dark" section because that episode TERRIFIED me. When I was a kiddo, my parents would drop me and my sister off every day in the summer at a community center with a pool and I refused to get in it, and when I did, I expected to get grabbed by something underneath the water.
I grew up on and lived near a marshland with a bog that's mostly forested and undeveloped; ironically named *Burns' Bog* catches fire quite often as the peat moss it sits on is permeating with pockets of methane...so yes the marsh can catch fire.
I believe either the same one or one with the same circumstances and name exists near where I live somewhere. I remember the smoke from it coming over my school at one point years ago.
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.))
I remember The Animals of Farthing Wood. Every night. The blood. The howls. As for more suggestions, how about the Groke focused episodes of Moomin, or any Fraggle Rock episode with the compost monster?
I'm a big Fraggle Rock fan, but I don't remember a compost monster 😳 Are you thinking of the sacred Trash Heap? With the two little rat guards who say "The Traaash Heap has spoken! Nyyyyyaaaahhh!" ? I was pretty easily spooked as a kid but I don't remember anything scary in that series at all 🤷♂️ Barely got amped up about the Fraggles getting chased by the Gorgs.
@@j0njn Lol understandable, I don't have a great memory for most series, that's just one of the few I've revisited enough over time to stay fairly familiar lol
Highly recommend watching X-Files from the beginning. It's as good as it ever was and it's crazy seeing how far we've come technology wise. I did it this past year and honestly want to do it again
Watership Down, the scene where the rabbit holes are being filled in and the rabbits are trying to escape. They rip each other's bodies apart in a bloody mess trying to squeeze through the tunnels, some suffocate, and the rest are buried alive. That messed me up as a child.
@@beebeelicious I probably saw that but to be honest I don't remember it. Are you talking about when it was draw in a different style than the rest of the movie? It kind of looked like cave paintings? I actually LOVED that movie as a kid despite how graphic is was for a child. I just remember the feeling of guilt I had for being a human after seeing all those rabbits murdered. The way in which it was portrayed was horrifying to my young mind.
@@beebeelicious Ah yes, I remember that. That honestly didnt freak me out. I think the bit I mentioned above had already disturbed me so much that after that nothing else phased me lol
The drunken hallucination scene for animated Dumbo...actually nearly all of animated Dumbo should have been included. As a small child, I also used to hide behind a chair for Popeye's fight scenes.
Man, I remember the TVs you are talking about here…when I was a kid, we had a wooden console TV on a swivel stand. It had three dials…one for channel, one for volume, and one for color adjustment. One button…power on or off. Sometimes we played with the color dial just to make the people’s skins red or green. It was hilariously simple entertainment
I first discovered this channel (Business Blaze, back then) by accident about five or six months ago. I was TH-cam-hopping between different documentaries about nuclear weapons and eventually Megaprojects popped up (I think it was the episode about the Tsar Bomba, but I could be wrong). I watched the video, subscribed to Megaprojects, and then noticed a video link on the sidebar recommending what looked like the same guy I'd just watched, but with the topic _"History's Greatest Acts of Revenge"._ And, sure, that sounded fun enough for me. *And I've been binging the Blaze backlog ever since.* All I can really say at this point is that it's cool to see this channel as a more "footloose" version of Simon's other channels. The videos all still provide the necessary information and sources when it comes to the topics at hand, but you also get so much more of Simon's candor and personality. It just seems like these videos are actually fun for him and the poor saps locked-up in his basement/publishing house/prison/pick one.
In terms of a secret pool at school...my high school actually had a rumor about that. It was known by the upperclassmen that it was just a lie to trick freshman (and perhaps the occasional gullible sophomore), but inevitably, every single class heard (and at least for a short time early in their first year) that there was a secret pool on the roof of one of the buildings, only accessible by upperclassmen (so, juniors and seniors, 11th and 12th grade I believe is what that translates to). They used it during lunch, and hung out there after school. No rumors about any hauntings there though. Just a fun little rumor to mess with freshmen. It all kinda collapsed though when my school got an actual olympic style pool for water polo/swim meets and such (that was finished my sophomore year, I believe. Before that, we had no pool, so the rumor sorta worked)
Disney's Scarecrow of Romney Marsh scared my little sister so badly that she wouldn't watch it at all. She also left the room when the house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East in the Wizard of Oz. I enjoyed her misery. For me the Bad Seed scared the hell out of me. Just the thought that a kid could kill adults was a shock.
4:22 Speaking of "The Sixth Sense", my scariest nightmare ever was based on that movie. In that nightmare, I was with my friends, but they didn't notice me, and I woke up in a cold sweat once they started talking about me as a dead man.
Yeah I completely understand the change but I'm never going to stop calling it Business Blaze lol, the cheeky disingenuous ironic veneer of formality perfectly captured the channel vibe. A title that just sounds more general/goofy may be more technically honest, but it also feels less fitting because of the lack of faux-seriousness. It's like if the guys in the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch had just done a Silly Walks sketch in silly costumes rather than having suits and using a formal sounding name. Wouldn't have been nearly as amusing
I distinctly remember a pre BB Simon and once he did start blazing , there was a certain....blaze that creeped into his other channels as well. I don't quite know how to describe it . But I'm sure the OG BB LEGENDS know what I'm talking about ALLEGEDLY
Animals of Farthing Wood omg LOVED it! Such an impact it made! I can still recall the dramatic title music even to this day. Beauty in tragedy. God my feels spiked right when I realized what Simon was talking about
I loved it as well, I even have the DVD set of the series. The title music is so great and I feel like it is one of the greatest childrens shows ever! I loved how honest it was with what life is like but still manages to be childfriendly. I never had nightmares. I did learn a lot about animal behaivour though.
Most British children's TV shows from a certain time period were actually scary as hell, many of them unintentionally/only in a single episode. My mum introduced me to Clangers when I was a kid which I used to love, right up until the episode where the humans landed on the moon/planet with them and the Clangers were trying to set up booby traps to kill/injure the humans and the humans were trying to kidnap the Clangers. So there wasn't anyone to root for just continuous dread. And things like Ludwig or Willow the Wisp were just kind of creepy due to their surrealism. Trapdoor probably deserves a mention but was also more intentionally creepy. And Ivor the Engine and Gingerbread man both also get mentions, Ivor due to again just one episode where all the dragons might end up dead with most of the people not really caring and just a lack of a lot of usual music just making for a very out of place and dull atmosphere. And Gingerbread man due in part to just a general weird atmosphere but also again one episode with a random and continuous threat of death as a rat character shows up constantly telling the sentient gingerbread man how he's going to eat him like a psychotic murderer.
I laughed so hard at 23:10. And yes Watership Down was intense!! Farthing Wood sounds like a setting for a Midsomer Murder episode. Thank you for ending my day in a fabulous way you fabulous team - Danny, Simon, and Samuel!!!
Simon The Animals of Farthing Wood had three seasons! Me: I remember this.... wait, three SEASONS? I thought it had like 4 episodes? The one they leave, the one with the lake, the one with the swimming pool in the garden, and the one where they arrive at White Deer Park. Simon: *[proceeds to explain the horriffic death]* Me: Oh.... now I see why I thought it had 4 episodes.
I'm starting to get worried about Danny. it seems that when he was a child he was fed a constant TV diet of Hector's House, Play School and Rosie & Jim
Some say he has a trove of memes from the middle ages, and that he can recaption mufasa's trampling into a comedy. All we know... is that hes called The Memeologist!
I, for one, would love this to be a recurring series! You could cover The Secret of NIMH, and the original Land Before Time film, which is far scarier than any of its sequels. Also it’s just heart-wrenchingly sad at some points, which in my opinion makes it all the worse since emotions are terrifying. Also, I’m glad Danny talked about Are You Afraid of the Dark, I really loved that series as a kid, and I sort of thought for a long time that it was a fever dream or something because it just vanished before the internet was popular, or seemed to anyway.
15:14 Do yourself a favor Simon- watch the original Twilight Zone. The stories are still relevant and the writing still holds up. You will not be disappointed.
"Hello darkness my old fried" "I come to talk with you again" I know that's not what that song is about, but some of us like the dark, and I always like that line!
The only show in my childhood that freaked me out, and still does is Courage the Cowardly dog! It probably didn't help I was afraid of dogs, and a very anxious child... ;)
True story and also merch idea. I was at work the other day having a chat with a nice lady being a bit flirty and it came to age and I said I have just recently and not gotten over, turned 40. She said "wow you look good, what do you use on your skin to keep you looking so young" and the first thing I thought of saying was 'tears of regret' but hard drugs got blurted out instead.So boldy fact boy, you need a face cream called either tears of regret of baby tears to go with the rotten turtle range of cosmetics. I would have loved to sent her a link for 'tears of regret' to see the look on her face but instead I had to give her my drug dealers number.
This is a great idea for a skincare line lol. Make a toner/refreshing mist called "Tears of Regret", come out with a chemical exfoliant formula (specifically knock off the one from The Ordinary, because it's deep red) and call it "Blood of My Enemies" ... Loads more figures of speech/common phrases to expand on after that. Can use "Baby Tears" for a gentle gel moisturizer XD
@@sarahrosen4985 Same lol. Heyyyy you know what, you're on to something -- he could totally market a series of quality sustainable containers like good glass spray and pump bottles, put the R&D into actually solving the problems that exist with most of those types of containers (god knows that's a need that needs filling!!!), and label them with fun names like the above (or whatever else), and have a much easier more versatile more trend-proof product than actual skincare stuff 😮 There's totally a Simon Whistler aesthetic building as his personality shows more in his channels, so he could totally pull off a lifestyle brand like that! I'd love to have an "OGBB" soap bottle more than a shirt, personally, lol. It would be much more trivial for him to add new designs and products over time, and it would be way less of a pain to get approved for export/import than skincare items, and it would serve a wider market since skincare is such an individual thing. AAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAANT
Animals of Farthing wood sounds like a show created by a sadist to do permanent psychological harm to children. I'm sixty years old and I don't think I'd watch such a show, and I did watch Human Centipede and thought it was gross, but not psychologically damaging.
I ony remember 2 things scaring me as a kid: Watership Down and the scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit when Judge Doom got steamrolled. I watched the likes of Candyman, The Shining, and the Nightmare on Elmstreet films at age 5 and those never scared me, but Christopher Lloyd getting flattened did 😂 Weird lmao
It’s OK I don’t remember what my grandparents look like either but I was nearsighted from the time I was three months old and lost my vision completely at the age of seven so they may be a different reason for that LOL
Courage the cowardly dog always pops into my head when I thing of weird child's shows. The episode with the spiders and cat freaked me out so much as a child
Simon needs to read the original book "Watershed Down" by Richard Adams on which the movie was based. It's a lovely read for nights when the new baby is being colicky.
There was an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark where the kids are trapped in a cursed shopping mall that's become a bizarre life size pinball table with giant metal balls rolling around everywhere killing them. Scared the living shit out of me as a kid. I refused to go to a mall for months.
*"The Peanutbutter Solution"* damaged me (and a whole generation) more then we would like to admit!, but basically everyone i meet, who was made to see that movie as a child, has been damaged by this movie in one way or another!
Love the mispronounced chameleon thing. We kept a coworker confused for most of a day by calling a chihuahua a chee-who ah-who ah and giving him crap for not knowing what we were talking about. Yes, he was *not* a big brain.
Watership Down was terrifying as a kid, and I read the book as I got older, and it was equally horrific. I don't know why anyone thought it was a good movie for kids..
It'll be Brain Blaze when Simon can go 3 episodes while actually saying its name and not E.T.A/Charles saving your ass...Viva La Resistance Edit: even your sponsor link is Business Blaze...EXTRA French sounding Viva La Resistance
Maybe because I was precocious, my parents let me see a lot of movies that were probably not intended for viewers my age. Like "On the Beach," which was a movie about fallout from a nuclear war slowly working its way south to wipe out the remnant population left in Australia. In the end everyone is dead, including the young couple who had a newborn baby. I was in kindergarten and I remember asking my father if everyone was dead, even the Eskimos, (yes, we now say Inuit, I know, but this was 1959.) I just couldn't imagine why anyone would want to kill them, they weren't hurting anyone. Ah, childhood.
If you wanna see a scary nuclear war movie, check out Miracle Mile. It was the last nuclear destruction movie released in the US while the Cold War was still going on.
I've had long hair for most of my 46 years but temporarily lost it due to chemotherapy for breast cancer. I discovered I have a perfect head, as does Simon. I've seen a picture of Our Boi before his head hair went south and became the glorious beard. Pre capping. It's cute.
So sorry about your diagnosis, hope everything works out and glad you dont seem bothered to much about the hair loss and go crazy with wigs if you like 👍 I have wondered about Simons look with hair and i simply cannot search for the images as i cannot imagine him any other way than this glorious presenter of the bald and bearded look 🤘
@@annemettefrederiksen7751 thank you! I'm in remission so all is well. I recently saw a bloopers video of Simon from 6 years ago. He was bald and had a little "five o'clock shadow. He is really very attractive.
This reminds me of the time I tried to think of why I have a dark sense of humor. I tried combing my memories to see what could have caused it and remembered, “Oh yeah, I watched Fantasia as a kid.” A movie, I might add, that features topless woman, dancing Asian mushrooms, and a demon summoning the forces of Hell. A movie that I watched as young as 6 years old, multiple times.
I had not thought of the years spent afraid of bodies of water, specifically pools, after that “Are you afraid of the Dark” episode in a very long time. I still get creeped out in lakes because of that show.
24:54 if I recall it right (besides never being able to watch the entirety of the show due to TV availability), the first victims were an entire family of hedgehogs that were run over by a truck in the first episode because they were too scared to finish crossing the road (mentioned by the script at 25:50; have I mixed it up with the mice too?). Shows at that time didn't really bother NOT killing off some well-beloved characters: Dutch-Japanese (cofinanced by several other countries) show Alfred J. Kwack (the J stands for "Jodocus" in every language except English and any translated from there, where it's "Jonathan"), spends the entire two first episodes aking you get fond of a couple of ducks and their happy children, only for them to get run over by a car driven by the same people that have just booted them from their home (except the titular character, who gets saved by his ADD).

Remember the episode he said his jeans zip read levvies for the entire read.
It could also be danny misspelling shit. I mean we don't know the last time Simon fed him before he wrote the script he may be weak.
My old school had a complete floor that had been mostly abandoned since the 80s (we're talking like 2010 here) and going there was always odd. We had the art room in the hallway right next to it and would go there sometimes as a dare. The lights were mostly flickering or didn't work at all, some rooms had like a single class a week and were kept in some order (with paint chipping off the walls and writing all over) while others were nearly completely fallen apart and had just bare concrete left.
And there was a room named "Methodenraum", basically a room for storing maps and such, but we pulled off some letters so it said "Hodenraum", which translates to "testicle room".
my middle school had a basement that wasn't used by the students. I think it was being used for storage and by janitorial staff and stuff because it wasn't in dis-repair like yours but there were no classes down there and students would only once in a great while ever be led down there as a class for some very specific reason, no one really went down there normally. But the middle school was connected to the high school and the high school needed more space so they took some rooms on the other side and the middle school started using the basement again for classes shortly after i went to high school.
I would have went with "Meth raum" or "Meth room". Maybe it means something different in your tongue. Testicle room is pretty damn funny though
We in our school had a room filled with civil protection stuff - gas masks, dosimeters, antidotes for chemical warfare etc. Antidote against phosphoroorganic chemical weapons (like Sarin, Soman, Tabun etc) had hallucinogenic effect.
@@ShaLun42 As a former chemical weapons expert for the US Army, I very carefully will not ask how you (or your classmates) found that out.
@@rcknbob1 Honestly, I don't know who first discovered it, probably bored soldiers. But it became common knowledge in certain circles. That stuff was called Taren (active substance Aprofene, PubChem CID 71128). By civil defence signal about chemical attack, you have to take one pill (and follow other directions). In case of symptoms of organophosphate poisoning, you have to take another pill. But already the first pill will cause condition similar to drunkedness (harder to keep balance while walking). Second pill (if used without actual chemical attack) will create a lot of visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations. Some crazy people used higher doses, with corresponding increase of effects. But the memory was also impaired, so you only remember part of your adventures. Other will tell your friends lately. Not very toxic (LD50 in mice is 125 mg/kg and one pill have 25 mg), but you can die by walking out of window etc. Don't cause euphoria or any positive feelings. Sometimes cause negative feelings or can show you nightmares IRL.
I'm loving the evolution of Simon's ADHD fueled sidetracks have now made it to the Ad read. This channel is the best lmao
ROTTING TURTLE WILL MAKE YOU SMELL GREAT.
Lol, this comment should be pinned
Jurassic Park was my bad dream movie. I would wake up to the T. rex staring at me while she was thinking about feeding me to her babies because life finds a way
I was dying when I realized this too 😭
He's the only person I've seen that I kinda look forward to the ads now too
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Simon discover the X-Files is still going.
I actually watched the 2016 episodes, but never realized they followed it up...
Good thing I never miss a blaze
@@garbuz3324 I had no idea that it was still going. Have to search for it.
But is it really?
But it's not the same.
All hail the Beard. May the fact filled Whiskers of Whistler forever bring us wisdom and knowledge... ... allegedly.
Whiskers of Whistler. Someone need to TM and grab all the web domains, before Simon starts selling hemp rope or something haha.
Blessed is the Beard
That was- pure poetry…
That was the most epic comment yet.....legend status achieved (ALLEGEDLY)
Please people learn to use "allegedly" correctly, it's tireing to see it on every damn comment here, whether it actually makes sense or not.
I hadn't heard of "The Human Centipede" until Simon's mention of it, so I went and looked it up on IMDB. I regret everything.
The biggest horror of human centipede... the careers of the actors who agreed to be in that movie. 🤣
In Are You Afraid of the Dark the one actor the main guy was Ross Hull, became a Meteorologist and was a local one for me here in Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario. He has since moved to a national broadcast in Toronto.
He ever brings up Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Seeing Simon get visibly excited to watch the X-Files brightened my day to an unexpected degree ; u ;
Relatable closet sci-fi fan simon warms my whole heart
Quote from the author of Are You Afraid Of The Dark: "There's two kinds of people--people who hate clowns, and clowns."
DJ MacHale is great and anyone who liked that show should read Morpheus Road (and Pendragon, where I grabbed that quote)
guess I'm a clown then
@@Hromovlad1 I find the whole scared of clowns thing funny because when I was young only kids under 5 were scared of clowns.
What's next fear of bush babies?
Mr. Noseybonk has one eye looking at you and one eye looking at the eldritch horror he serves, for fear that his master will betray him and replace him with a more powerful being.
I watched this video over breakfast and I think Mr Noseybonk is gonna be in my nightmares tonight. The fuck is wrong with people who make kids shows?
Man, I still remember that pool monster. It's aesthetic was spot on, one of the few creatures that stuck with me from the show. I wonder if 'The Tale of the Dead Mans Float' would still hold any scare factor today.
Searched the comments for a comment on that episode lol
_"What am I doing with my life!?"_
- Simon in every other Business/Brain Blaze video
How often does Simon have life crises? lol
80s and 90s PSAs aimed at kids were the most terrifying thing. I vividly remember one about a kid with a toaster and there was a grim reaper showing him all the dangers before a big reveal that it was actually his own ghost...
I remember as a kid one PSA that really scared me was one where a teenager wasn’t paying attention when crossing the road and got hit by a white van and the camera pans down to him laying across the road with blood pouring out his nose. This was shown on the tv in a doctors waiting room
I remember the one about the bad drug trips with a young Helen Hunt tripping-balls at high school and smashing out of the second floor. Can't remember if she died in that one.
@@asgdhgsfhrfgfd1170 will definitely check it out!
Most of my generation were conditioned into wearing seat-belts by a particularly insidious and relentless campaign that still troubles our sleep to this day. Even now, I occasionally wake, bolt upright at 3am with a horrible Leeds accent echoing "Klunk Klick, Every Trip . . "
Ad don't even get me started on "Charlie says . . . . " th-cam.com/video/y3FnCiRpdQ4/w-d-xo.html
I don't think it was the original "This is your brain on drugs", but the one in that series where the chick (I think it was the chick from She's All That, maybe) smashes not just the egg but then smashes up a whole kitchen with a frying pan while shouting about how doing drugs will destroy your whole life and everyone in it. Didn't traumatize me (sure didn't stop me from being a thorough drug experimenter either lol) but in retrospect, holy crap that was heavy
Lol, watching Simon discover the X-Files reboot was awesome.
I'm keeping my mistakes for prosperity. You got me Simon. You win. This time. I'm gonna thumbs up my own comment.
19:00 - All good so far on the pronunciation front.
19:03 - "CHAM-A-LEE-ON".
19:10 - He says it again, he's being serious about this!
19:19 - Take 3.
Sounds like Simon is remembering the 1990s reboot of The Outer Limits. Dude, check out the original run of the series from the early 1960s, holds up quite well and is pretty heavy. Especially "The Architects Of Fear", which really scared the crap out of me as a child!.
Surprised that Doctor Who didn't get a shout-out, seeing as it started out as a kid's show meant to teach children about history and science. Then the Daleks showed up a few weeks later.....
Those creepy robots scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Until my dad pointed out that their greatest weakness is stairs. Fear gone. LOL!
The Ramses Curse episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog is the only thing I remember bothering me as a kid.
Despite having seen some actual horror movies around the same years.
To this day Courage scares me.
That episode is classic, but also terrifying
If I remember correctly one episode had courage stay with a skeleton Muriel and idk why but it always bothered me
I loved the song but yeah man I was double digit age when Courage came out. That early CG and the character design and voice bothered me a lot. That's the only episode that I don't like watching. But that episode where the fox tries making Cajun Granny Stew is one of my favorites
God yeah the way Ramses moved creeped me out for years, and I loved Courage!
You actually named, described and showed images of one of the two episodes that to this day haunt me from watching Are You Afraid of the Dark as a kid. Still get chills swimming alone in a pool to this day.
Me too! When he mentioned Are You Afraid of the Dark? I immediately said it has to be the pool one! It was the only one that I remember and that haunts me.
I slept with covers around my neck (the vampire neighbors) and refused to hang my feet over a bed (the fairytale episode) for years cause of that show!! Definitely a thrilling kids’ show.
Dude fuuuuuuuuuuuck that episode!!!
I really love that he goes on a rant about the pronunciation of "taco", but just breezes on past the "cha Mel Leon" shit 😂
lmao I had to double check that
That bastard fooled me through the whole "chameleon" bit into thinking he just straight up brainfarted the word and didn't realize it was a reference to the animal lol
I'm so glad that "Dead Man's Float" was mentioned in the "Are You Afraid of the Dark" section because that episode TERRIFIED me. When I was a kiddo, my parents would drop me and my sister off every day in the summer at a community center with a pool and I refused to get in it, and when I did, I expected to get grabbed by something underneath the water.
Same. Loved the show, but damn did it have some fucked up episodes 😅
That won't ever happen
Until it does
I grew up on and lived near a marshland with a bog that's mostly forested and undeveloped; ironically named *Burns' Bog* catches fire quite often as the peat moss it sits on is permeating with pockets of methane...so yes the marsh can catch fire.
I believe either the same one or one with the same circumstances and name exists near where I live somewhere. I remember the smoke from it coming over my school at one point years ago.
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.))
“Let’s teach children not to pirate stuff!”
But Simon, all the best stories involve pirates!
Yeah! Especially the ones who don't do anything!
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
someone who also watches The History Guy!
I remember The Animals of Farthing Wood. Every night. The blood. The howls.
As for more suggestions, how about the Groke focused episodes of Moomin, or any Fraggle Rock episode with the compost monster?
I'm a big Fraggle Rock fan, but I don't remember a compost monster 😳 Are you thinking of the sacred Trash Heap? With the two little rat guards who say "The Traaash Heap has spoken! Nyyyyyaaaahhh!" ?
I was pretty easily spooked as a kid but I don't remember anything scary in that series at all 🤷♂️ Barely got amped up about the Fraggles getting chased by the Gorgs.
@@ItsAsparageese Trash Heap, yeah, I stand corrected. I was very young when Fraggle Rock was on, and I haven’t done a very thorough survey on it 😅
Pretty sure fraggle rock is and always has been an adult show.
@@runed0s86 You're joking, right? 😂 It's certainly high-level for a kids' show, but it's definitely a kids' show
@@j0njn Lol understandable, I don't have a great memory for most series, that's just one of the few I've revisited enough over time to stay fairly familiar lol
Highly recommend watching X-Files from the beginning. It's as good as it ever was and it's crazy seeing how far we've come technology wise. I did it this past year and honestly want to do it again
Two best shows in the 1990s: X-Files and the Simpsons.
I'm on my third time through, halfway into season 4, maybe this time I'll understand the whole alien subplot. Probably not.
I watch X-files at least twice a year
Have you listened to the Fox Mulder is a Maniac podcast? I was gonna rewatch again but got distracted by it.
Watership Down, the scene where the rabbit holes are being filled in and the rabbits are trying to escape. They rip each other's bodies apart in a bloody mess trying to squeeze through the tunnels, some suffocate, and the rest are buried alive.
That messed me up as a child.
The video for the soundtrack freaked me the hell out!
@@beebeelicious I probably saw that but to be honest I don't remember it. Are you talking about when it was draw in a different style than the rest of the movie? It kind of looked like cave paintings?
I actually LOVED that movie as a kid despite how graphic is was for a child. I just remember the feeling of guilt I had for being a human after seeing all those rabbits murdered. The way in which it was portrayed was horrifying to my young mind.
@@michelletalnagi4281 it's the bit where the spirit rabbit dances with the living rabbit Bright Eyes, Simon and Garfunkel
@@beebeelicious Ah yes, I remember that. That honestly didnt freak me out. I think the bit I mentioned above had already disturbed me so much that after that nothing else phased me lol
Today is going so great, I've had an interview and was chosen for the apprenticeships and there is a new Brain Blaze Video
Hey thats pretty awesome! Gratz dude
Thank you
Congrats. Now you can really enjoy the Blaze ❤️
congrats
The drunken hallucination scene for animated Dumbo...actually nearly all of animated Dumbo should have been included. As a small child, I also used to hide behind a chair for Popeye's fight scenes.
Man, I remember the TVs you are talking about here…when I was a kid, we had a wooden console TV on a swivel stand. It had three dials…one for channel, one for volume, and one for color adjustment. One button…power on or off. Sometimes we played with the color dial just to make the people’s skins red or green. It was hilariously simple entertainment
I first discovered this channel (Business Blaze, back then) by accident about five or six months ago. I was TH-cam-hopping between different documentaries about nuclear weapons and eventually Megaprojects popped up (I think it was the episode about the Tsar Bomba, but I could be wrong). I watched the video, subscribed to Megaprojects, and then noticed a video link on the sidebar recommending what looked like the same guy I'd just watched, but with the topic _"History's Greatest Acts of Revenge"._ And, sure, that sounded fun enough for me.
*And I've been binging the Blaze backlog ever since.*
All I can really say at this point is that it's cool to see this channel as a more "footloose" version of Simon's other channels. The videos all still provide the necessary information and sources when it comes to the topics at hand, but you also get so much more of Simon's candor and personality. It just seems like these videos are actually fun for him and the poor saps locked-up in his basement/publishing house/prison/pick one.
Praise the blaze
In terms of a secret pool at school...my high school actually had a rumor about that. It was known by the upperclassmen that it was just a lie to trick freshman (and perhaps the occasional gullible sophomore), but inevitably, every single class heard (and at least for a short time early in their first year) that there was a secret pool on the roof of one of the buildings, only accessible by upperclassmen (so, juniors and seniors, 11th and 12th grade I believe is what that translates to). They used it during lunch, and hung out there after school. No rumors about any hauntings there though. Just a fun little rumor to mess with freshmen. It all kinda collapsed though when my school got an actual olympic style pool for water polo/swim meets and such (that was finished my sophomore year, I believe. Before that, we had no pool, so the rumor sorta worked)
Be creative and mention that the SPECIAL pool has an wet bar and that everyone traditional goes topless there
Disney's Scarecrow of Romney Marsh scared my little sister so badly that she wouldn't watch it at all. She also left the room when the house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East in the Wizard of Oz. I enjoyed her misery.
For me the Bad Seed scared the hell out of me. Just the thought that a kid could kill adults was a shock.
Is that the one from the 50's?
4:22 Speaking of "The Sixth Sense", my scariest nightmare ever was based on that movie. In that nightmare, I was with my friends, but they didn't notice me, and I woke up in a cold sweat once they started talking about me as a dead man.
Business Blaze is a better name, IMHO. Just because it's ridiculously unrelated to the channel content 😅
Yeah I completely understand the change but I'm never going to stop calling it Business Blaze lol, the cheeky disingenuous ironic veneer of formality perfectly captured the channel vibe. A title that just sounds more general/goofy may be more technically honest, but it also feels less fitting because of the lack of faux-seriousness.
It's like if the guys in the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch had just done a Silly Walks sketch in silly costumes rather than having suits and using a formal sounding name. Wouldn't have been nearly as amusing
Now the world is divided between the original Business Blaze gang and the plebian Brain Blaze newcomers.
I distinctly remember a pre BB Simon and once he did start blazing , there was a certain....blaze that creeped into his other channels as well. I don't quite know how to describe it . But I'm sure the OG BB LEGENDS know what I'm talking about ALLEGEDLY
As a child, I remember being unable to sleep after watching "The Night Stalker" and reruns of "The Shadow."
Animals of Farthing Wood omg LOVED it! Such an impact it made! I can still recall the dramatic title music even to this day. Beauty in tragedy. God my feels spiked right when I realized what Simon was talking about
I loved it as well, I even have the DVD set of the series. The title music is so great and I feel like it is one of the greatest childrens shows ever! I loved how honest it was with what life is like but still manages to be childfriendly. I never had nightmares. I did learn a lot about animal behaivour though.
5 years later...Simon discovers the last season of the X-Files. That was one of my favorite shows.
just found this channel a few days ago and i gotta say, im loving these intros. great work everyone. cracks me up every time.
Most British children's TV shows from a certain time period were actually scary as hell, many of them unintentionally/only in a single episode.
My mum introduced me to Clangers when I was a kid which I used to love, right up until the episode where the humans landed on the moon/planet with them and the Clangers were trying to set up booby traps to kill/injure the humans and the humans were trying to kidnap the Clangers.
So there wasn't anyone to root for just continuous dread.
And things like Ludwig or Willow the Wisp were just kind of creepy due to their surrealism.
Trapdoor probably deserves a mention but was also more intentionally creepy.
And Ivor the Engine and Gingerbread man both also get mentions, Ivor due to again just one episode where all the dragons might end up dead with most of the people not really caring and just a lack of a lot of usual music just making for a very out of place and dull atmosphere. And Gingerbread man due in part to just a general weird atmosphere but also again one episode with a random and continuous threat of death as a rat character shows up constantly telling the sentient gingerbread man how he's going to eat him like a psychotic murderer.
Clangers vs. Humans?
Stay off the dodgy cheese, man!
@@drt1605 They were all based on Roald Dahl short stories innit
Trapdoor was mint! Some episodes were genuinely scary. The walking telly’s in Will O’ the Wisp used to scare the shit out me.
I laughed so hard at 23:10. And yes Watership Down was intense!! Farthing Wood sounds like a setting for a Midsomer Murder episode. Thank you for ending my day in a fabulous way you fabulous team - Danny, Simon, and Samuel!!!
Happy tree friends and that “return the slab” episode of courage the cowardly dog doesn’t seem so bad now after watching this..
I absolutely adored courage the cowardly dog 💕
HTF was just insane! plus the fact that those DVD's where always placed in the kids-movies sections!
Happy tree friends was never intended to be a kids show. I think I remember watching it on ebaumsworld or fark back in the day.
Simon The Animals of Farthing Wood had three seasons!
Me: I remember this.... wait, three SEASONS? I thought it had like 4 episodes? The one they leave, the one with the lake, the one with the swimming pool in the garden, and the one where they arrive at White Deer Park.
Simon: *[proceeds to explain the horriffic death]*
Me: Oh.... now I see why I thought it had 4 episodes.
I'm starting to get worried about Danny. it seems that when he was a child he was fed a constant TV diet of Hector's House, Play School and Rosie & Jim
I was utterly terrified of the drunk scene in Dumbo, and the roller coaster ride in Pinocchio. This was at about 6 years old mind you.
I'm reminded of the episode of "How I Met Your Mother" where Ted mispronounced chameleon....
mission accomplished 😂🤣
It took me a minute to realize what he was saying
I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed.But watching Nisha's start to finish really helps me sleep.Thank you for your homework.I love the show
Some say he has a trove of memes from the middle ages, and that he can recaption mufasa's trampling into a comedy. All we know... is that hes called The Memeologist!
This channel is gold: Danny, Sam, and Simon are excellent at what they do!
Invader Zim scared me as a child. Honestly, it’s still pretty creepy even as an adult.
Zim scared you? Have you the brain worms!?
Jhonen Vasquez also wrote a comic series called "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac", good stuff.
Thanks Simon... your video made me look back on my life and realise all these shows actually scarred me for life..
I, for one, would love this to be a recurring series! You could cover The Secret of NIMH, and the original Land Before Time film, which is far scarier than any of its sequels. Also it’s just heart-wrenchingly sad at some points, which in my opinion makes it all the worse since emotions are terrifying. Also, I’m glad Danny talked about Are You Afraid of the Dark, I really loved that series as a kid, and I sort of thought for a long time that it was a fever dream or something because it just vanished before the internet was popular, or seemed to anyway.
Watership Down.
The scariest part of The Secret of NIMH was growing up and finding out what NIMH stands for.
I have to just say, I love the meme-ing and cut panels. They’re so much fun!
15:14 Do yourself a favor Simon- watch the original Twilight Zone. The stories are still relevant and the writing still holds up. You will not be disappointed.
"Hello darkness my old fried"
"I come to talk with you again"
I know that's not what that song is about, but some of us like the dark, and I always like that line!
Mr. Blobby brought back a lot memories that make sense as to what tf scares me.
THUNDERBIRDS. JFC. THUNDERBIRDS TERRIFIED ME.
I used to hate it when the Hood’s eyes would light up when using his mind powers
He who laughs last, laughs best.
Today's edits are beautiful.
The only show in my childhood that freaked me out, and still does is Courage the Cowardly dog! It probably didn't help I was afraid of dogs, and a very anxious child... ;)
"Stupid dog"
The flan episode was beyond creepy.
The Animals of Farthing Wood sounds like the absolute best TV show ever put to film. I love it. That would be a modern TH-cam sensation
Everybody stop what you're doing. Business/Brain Blaze has a new video.
'No... No, I don't think I will.' PERFECT TIMING SAM YOU LEGEND.
True story and also merch idea. I was at work the other day having a chat with a nice lady being a bit flirty and it came to age and I said I have just recently and not gotten over, turned 40. She said "wow you look good, what do you use on your skin to keep you looking so young" and the first thing I thought of saying was 'tears of regret' but hard drugs got blurted out instead.So boldy fact boy, you need a face cream called either tears of regret of baby tears to go with the rotten turtle range of cosmetics. I would have loved to sent her a link for 'tears of regret' to see the look on her face but instead I had to give her my drug dealers number.
This is a great idea for a skincare line lol. Make a toner/refreshing mist called "Tears of Regret", come out with a chemical exfoliant formula (specifically knock off the one from The Ordinary, because it's deep red) and call it "Blood of My Enemies" ... Loads more figures of speech/common phrases to expand on after that. Can use "Baby Tears" for a gentle gel moisturizer XD
@@ItsAsparageese shit up and let me throw my money at this. ( I will, of course, decant my existing The Ordinary into Simon’s bottle .)
@@sarahrosen4985 Same lol. Heyyyy you know what, you're on to something -- he could totally market a series of quality sustainable containers like good glass spray and pump bottles, put the R&D into actually solving the problems that exist with most of those types of containers (god knows that's a need that needs filling!!!), and label them with fun names like the above (or whatever else), and have a much easier more versatile more trend-proof product than actual skincare stuff 😮
There's totally a Simon Whistler aesthetic building as his personality shows more in his channels, so he could totally pull off a lifestyle brand like that! I'd love to have an "OGBB" soap bottle more than a shirt, personally, lol. It would be much more trivial for him to add new designs and products over time, and it would be way less of a pain to get approved for export/import than skincare items, and it would serve a wider market since skincare is such an individual thing. AAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAANT
What ever you're being paid Danny, it's not enough. Your writing is the true star of this channel. Amazing chops. Respect. 🌺
So yes The Animals Of Farthing Wood was kinda scary, but it's got nothing compared to Watership Down!
Animals of Farthing wood sounds like a show created by a sadist to do permanent psychological harm to children. I'm sixty years old and I don't think I'd watch such a show, and I did watch Human Centipede and thought it was gross, but not psychologically damaging.
Not a show but the 1985 claymation movie The Adventures of Mark Twain. There’s a sequence titled “The Mysterious Stranger” which is quite disturbing.
I ony remember 2 things scaring me as a kid: Watership Down and the scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit when Judge Doom got steamrolled. I watched the likes of Candyman, The Shining, and the Nightmare on Elmstreet films at age 5 and those never scared me, but Christopher Lloyd getting flattened did 😂
Weird lmao
Did you have the misfortune of seeing Invaders From Mars as a child? That one’ll mess you up pretty good as a child.
Sam has gotten so aggressive with his Memeologying as time has gone on and IT. IS. GLORIOUS!
It’s OK I don’t remember what my grandparents look like either but I was nearsighted from the time I was three months old and lost my vision completely at the age of seven so they may be a different reason for that LOL
Courage the cowardly dog always pops into my head when I thing of weird child's shows. The episode with the spiders and cat freaked me out so much as a child
Normally Simons reads the ad reads and is so chipper, however, this time he seems so subdued... At least the bald look is great on you Simon!
How is your dog
I LOVED that dollhouse episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark! It was terrifying but fascinating.
Simon needs to read the original book "Watershed Down" by Richard Adams on which the movie was based. It's a lovely read for nights when the new baby is being colicky.
Watership Down you mean
There was an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark where the kids are trapped in a cursed shopping mall that's become a bizarre life size pinball table with giant metal balls rolling around everywhere killing them.
Scared the living shit out of me as a kid. I refused to go to a mall for months.
Loved that one!
*"The Peanutbutter Solution"* damaged me (and a whole generation) more then we would like to admit!, but basically everyone i meet, who was made to see that movie as a child, has been damaged by this movie in one way or another!
Never heard of it... your comment made me curious so I watched the trailer...WTF???!!!
I loved this movie as a kid. I can't for the life of me find a copy anywhere. Good to know it's not a figment of my imagination.
I lost it at the Starfox-esque "Mission Accomplished" thing got me, hahahaha
Love the mispronounced chameleon thing. We kept a coworker confused for most of a day by calling a chihuahua a chee-who ah-who ah and giving him crap for not knowing what we were talking about. Yes, he was *not* a big brain.
Watership Down was terrifying as a kid, and I read the book as I got older, and it was equally horrific. I don't know why anyone thought it was a good movie for kids..
90% of Sid & Marty Krofft shows where terrifying in a psychedelic way. This is why Gen X Americans are scarred for life.
Ahh my American fellow Gen X
Let me tell you about Jimmy Seville and Rolf Harris
I remember being freaked out by Hexxus from ferngully!
Oh and that one fish-up-the-*smoke-pipe* episode of Round The Twist 😱
This!!! That thing and the black stuff. Absolutely traumatised me.
It'll be Brain Blaze when Simon can go 3 episodes while actually saying its name and not E.T.A/Charles saving your ass...Viva La Resistance
Edit: even your sponsor link is Business Blaze...EXTRA French sounding Viva La Resistance
It’ll ALWAYS be Business Blaze to the OGBBs.
now this is the content ive been waiting for from simon actuall swearing and adult feels
Maybe because I was precocious, my parents let me see a lot of movies that were probably not intended for viewers my age. Like "On the Beach," which was a movie about fallout from a nuclear war slowly working its way south to wipe out the remnant population left in Australia. In the end everyone is dead, including the young couple who had a newborn baby. I was in kindergarten and I remember asking my father if everyone was dead, even the Eskimos, (yes, we now say Inuit, I know, but this was 1959.) I just couldn't imagine why anyone would want to kill them, they weren't hurting anyone. Ah, childhood.
If you wanna see a scary nuclear war movie, check out Miracle Mile. It was the last nuclear destruction movie released in the US while the Cold War was still going on.
Oh my, someone else who knows 'on the beach'
I honestly think it's a brilliant underrated movie
Never saw the original 1959 version, but when I was in college, in one of my classes we watched the 2000 remake.
Kids in the 1980s and 1990s were hardcore. What got PG certificate back in the day is amazing. In Temple of Doom a man had his heart ripped out.
Simon: *mentions Danny*
Danny: *hits shuffle 7 times in his meme folder rapid firing completely unrelated video clips*
I've had long hair for most of my 46 years but temporarily lost it due to chemotherapy for breast cancer. I discovered I have a perfect head, as does Simon. I've seen a picture of Our Boi before his head hair went south and became the glorious beard. Pre capping. It's cute.
So sorry about your diagnosis, hope everything works out and glad you dont seem bothered to much about the hair loss and go crazy with wigs if you like 👍 I have wondered about Simons look with hair and i simply cannot search for the images as i cannot imagine him any other way than this glorious presenter of the bald and bearded look 🤘
@@annemettefrederiksen7751 thank you! I'm in remission so all is well.
I recently saw a bloopers video of Simon from 6 years ago. He was bald and had a little "five o'clock shadow. He is really very attractive.
What even is this video? I know these ones can be weird and quirky but this.. this is a gem!
This reminds me of the time I tried to think of why I have a dark sense of humor. I tried combing my memories to see what could have caused it and remembered, “Oh yeah, I watched Fantasia as a kid.”
A movie, I might add, that features topless woman, dancing Asian mushrooms, and a demon summoning the forces of Hell. A movie that I watched as young as 6 years old, multiple times.
I'm happy to hear Simon actually mentioned Stewart Ashens who's my other favorite TH-camr
I was not expecting that!
Simon cracked the code making so many channels he can make videos about anything and get multiple sponsors at the same time for different channels
I had not thought of the years spent afraid of bodies of water, specifically pools, after that “Are you afraid of the Dark” episode in a very long time. I still get creeped out in lakes because of that show.
24:54 if I recall it right (besides never being able to watch the entirety of the show due to TV availability), the first victims were an entire family of hedgehogs that were run over by a truck in the first episode because they were too scared to finish crossing the road (mentioned by the script at 25:50; have I mixed it up with the mice too?). Shows at that time didn't really bother NOT killing off some well-beloved characters: Dutch-Japanese (cofinanced by several other countries) show Alfred J. Kwack (the J stands for "Jodocus" in every language except English and any translated from there, where it's "Jonathan"), spends the entire two first episodes aking you get fond of a couple of ducks and their happy children, only for them to get run over by a car driven by the same people that have just booted them from their home (except the titular character, who gets saved by his ADD).
