- The difficulty in stealing from the English is that most of their valuables don't belong to them in the first place.
"The Stone of Scone (/ˈskuːn/; Scottish Gaelic: An Lia Fáil, Scots: Stane o Scuin)-also known as the Stone of Destiny, and often referred to in England as The Coronation Stone-is an oblong block of red sandstone that has been used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland. It is also known as Jacob's Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone, and as clach-na-cinneamhain in Scottish Gaelic.
Historically, the artefact was kept at the now-ruined Scone Abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland, having been brought there from Iona by Kenneth MacAlpin circa 841 AD. After its forced removal from Scone during Edward I's invasion of Scotland in 1296, it was used in the coronation of the monarchs of England as well as the monarchs of Great Britain and latterly of the United Kingdom following the Treaty of Union. Its size is 26 in (66 cm) by 16.7 in (42 cm) by 10.5 in (26.7 cm) and its weight is approximately 335 lb (152 kg). A roughly incised cross is on one surface, and an iron ring at each end aids with transport. The Stone of Scone was last used in 1953 for the coronation of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

wow first to reply
Wow second to reply and like
3rd reply cos I’m a rebel
@Aries Gregory definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself =)
4:00 that bearded guy in the back seat has an impressive dong. A two hander it seems.
I would definitely hire an attorney who was infamous for getting away with a robbery like that.
"Not even charged, after I heard about the whole crime on Qxir? Yeah you're hired."
Right!? Me too! Lol
It was burglary and theft, robbery is theft with violence.🙏
@@fatherofdragons4880 they applied violence against the chair
@@tomlxyz true true.
Jeremiah: “Guys! Jacob is gunna be so pissed when he finds out that we took his pillow.”
Monk: “Hey just put it in this chair he won’t find out.”
I am the liquor
Yes I am.
RIP Jimbo!
Who’s to say the queen hasn’t been swapped out she’s just as old as that stone
Exactly.
Can't we just have some geologists radiocarbon date her or something? Maybe turns out she's Irish too, who knows...
Her majesty is also as dry as that stone. Cheers, Willy Burns.
@@mobbkopf we at least already know she's german
Maybe she was cut from scone
its all that yorkshire tea keeping her alive
4:02 love this frame of animation, perfect positioning of the man tending to his broken toes, couldn't be misinterpreted as anything else.
😳
he broke his 3rd leg
Well you gotta rub it better
"You see officer, we couldn't possibly have stolen the stone, my friend here with his footlong cock was JUST showing it off to the ladies dun the pub"
the most uneblievable part is still the custodian giving this random possibly drunk dude a coin.
People can be good:) it's always nice to hear about. I know I'm smiling.
He's a custodian. Custodians take care of things. He took care of what he understood to be a lost drunk. Slightly too good at his job.
As an Irishman, I accept that Qxir is the rightful High King. I will fight and die for my King.
Irish and wanting to serve the crown? Disgusting.
@@Saltiren high king of Ireland
If you’ve an IRA pfp, I doubt you’re irish
@@u.h.forum. Why's that?
As an Englishman i accept Qxir as the rightful King of the United Kingdom and also shall fight and die for him .
I'm American and I whole heartedly will fight and die to help Qxir be corronated and recognized as the rightful King of Ireland.
Ireland is a republic
@@ENU-bc9xt Not anymore. Its now a monarchy.
@@Oblivisci........ No it isn't, it's a republic look it up and educate yourself
@@ENU-bc9xt get the joke
@@ENU-bc9xt Not when we crown Qxir as the king
Imagine an alien civilization studying earth from afar and witnessing a decorated procession happening and in it's centre a stone
earth is pretty much just a fancy stone...
Imagine an alien civilisation studying humanity from the TH-cam comment section 😨
Heck, I'm an earthling and think that ceremony was nuts.
It's not just a stone *sniffs*
*It's a rock*
*ehem kabah *ehem
I can’t wait for you to hit 1 Mil. You’ve been exploding
Idk how he hasn't yet. It's consistent high-quality *relatively* education content.
I'll get him the stone if he gives me half the kingdom and his daughters hand. She can keep the hand attached to the rest of her body but whatever she steals whit that hand is mine.
He deserves it!!
I've been here since before 20k, what a ride it's been
Giggidy.
Would love to see you do a video on the guy who broke into Buckingham Palace and found his way into the Queen's bedroom, and the queen asked him what he was doing there.
That's amazing, thanks for sharing. Looked it up, apparently there was another guy who broke in - Thomas Jones. Broke in at 14 (in 1838) but got caught in a chase with Queen Victoria's underwear in his pants. He even stole linen and a sword but somehow he got acquitted.
Homer Simpson has done the same
Michael Fagan? Or wasn't there a more recent one?
Fagan seems like a bit of a wrong 'un. Should be an interesting episode.
I never heard that story
If im not mistaken,the queen offer him an alcohol before the authority come. Also he manage to break 2 times
Qxir for the king of Ireland!
He's got my vote...oh wait....
Long live the king!
@@kyleeconrad Oh no. No votes. This is a straight up Monarchy from the dark ages. Anyone who disagrees get the wheel or the stake. We don't take prisoners in Qxirs Ireland.
Agreed lol, love it
AYYYEEEE!
Jeremiah was like, "damn this is a nice rock, I'm gonna travel with this shit"
Wales has a legend about how one day the Prince of Wales would learn Welsh and would kick out all the other British, and not one single Prince of Wales learned Welsh until Charles. That is a successful civil war all wrapped up, hot and fresh and ready to go - that the British just wasted.
@@notme1797 I refuse to learn about the culture of a people who consider shin-kicking to be an organised sport.
@@CampVictoria Some parts of Wales do speak Welsh natively, and others in Wales want to learn the language because it's the historical language of the country. It's protected too, so it's perfectly easy for a Welsh speaker to prosper in Wales. Of course, knowing English would be almost essential too.
@@CampVictoria For you maybe, but for some, there is more to it.
Also, the "More people on earth speak Latin" (ignoring the fact that Latin is taught more widely than Welsh) shows how effective things like Welsh Not were, in nearly stamping out the Welsh language.
0:15 top 10 rappers eminem is afraid to diss.
Last time I was this early, the stone of scone was being used as a pillow
@@Willam_J yes, the door’s that way
🚪
“Hasn’t been used since” 🤠😀
The British isles have such a wild and rich lore. Stealing a rock ro be crowned king of the other guy's island.
The English custodian assumed the Scotsman was a drunk?
Fair enough.
Looks like that stone's gonna be used very soon.
I have a feeling in due time this video will find itself a surge in views given what happened today
this man consistently pumps out some of the best content on youtube.
I agree
@@DNXbrainsync he's good at pumping.
@@LostLargeCats his is among my very favorite videos. I find myself WAITING on the next one every week and I only do that with a few.
This makes me feel patriotic for two countries I’m only distantly related too
"parting glass" in the end really activated those nostalgic ac 4 vibes i have already forgotten
Tbh I feel like Qxir would make a good leader. He's called himself a maniac with a pirate mantrap, and it just doesn't get any better than that!
As an Englishman I would be more than happy to see the return of the Kingdom of Ireland with Qxir as it's High King
You have no idea how happy I am you mentioned Arbroath, as well as drawing our abbey
" If i were the police I'd skip the truck and go straight to the beating" lmfao😂🤣
I see hes been seeing a lot of American t.v.
Skip looking in the trunk and go straight to the beating. 👍🏼
I'm an Australian, so the leadership of Ireland has little to no effect on my day-to-day, but if Qxir wants to be King I will gladly lay down my life to make that happen.
I first learned of the Stone of Scone from the television show HIGHLANDER. Great episode, Roger Daltrey was in that one.
this is seriously one of my favorite channels, you somehow always find interesting stories I've never heard about and tell them in hilarious and entertaining ways.
"The difficulty in stealing from the English is that most of their valuables don't belong to them in the first place."
I want to be proud of this statement then I realise how true it is
😂😂 reperatation brah . Don't ask for it . Specially the quing dynasty potteries & Indian rubies & gems .
uk be like: “RETURN THE SLABBB!!”
"or suffer my curse"
That episode of Courage the cowardly dog messed me up for many nights
We Scots say go f off!
So happy to see Lil Sebastian honored in the parade at the end.
Wee sebbie
He would’ve found the stone in 15 minutes
"Today's Tales From the Bottle will be taking us to the UK, Booooo!"
Well that is an immediate like from me.
Let me guess your from the ROi or India or something
@@yeetjones927 I am American but my lineage is Irish so...
@@melvinmerkelhopper5752 lol OK just beacouse someone is Irish doesn't mean they hate the UK I live in NI and whenever I go south of the border everyone is friendly and treats me nice, just treat everyone how you would want yourself to be treated, i don't get why you hate us but at the end of the day I don't really care all that much about the US, most of the people there are friendly but I guess you proved not all of them are.
@@yeetjones927 That is a fucking block of text!
I am just hating on Britain in the same jokish way Qxir does in the video.
@@melvinmerkelhopper5752 sorry I can't get sarcasm through text as you can through words lol my bad
That last video clip makes me realize how ridiculous humans are. We have a parade, with armed guards, a small horse(?) and an armored glass vehicle.....for a rock
& then they arrest people for gettin ST0NED...
If you steal the stone, no worries, but I swear to god, if anyone tries to steal that tiny horse...
There was an episode of the old TV show Highlander: The Series where the main character basically wrangled a couple of his friends into helping him steal The Stone of Scone. They ended up leaving it as a bench for people to use on a golf course.
Conspiracy theory number 3? O,o
There can be only two.
What I remembered was he and a friend were playing a round of golf. Two young women let them play through. He hears faint trumpets, looks back and one of them is sitting on the stone.
I thought we agreed you're the High King of Cleveland?
His empire is growing
Why would anyone agree to that? I'd say nah it's okay Cleveland, you can ask someone else.
Cleveland in the North East of England? Thats where im from 😂
Qxir’s videos lately: Whoops it’s all BANGERS
Qxir as King of Ireland? Sounds more reasonable than the politicians we have today - you have my support
GOD THAT END SONG IS GORGEOUS
I like to think that the king at the time was just like, "Good show. Adds to the history of the thing." And took it all in good humor.
I`d like to think that was the case too. Shows how far we have progessed in some areas also, as they`d probably have been executed for treason or something in times past.
Love how I've seen your animation get better and better brother
“Parting Glass” at the end was a great touch! I actually know how to play that song! Also huge kudos to those Scottish Lads for getting away with it! What badasses!
As a Scots man, I was pishing myself laughing every time you said Scone, its pronounced Scoone 😂 funny video anyway
My day is always a good one when qxir has uploaded
Any other Terry Pratchett fans here? So often I come across stories like this and once again realize how deep his genius actually went.
@Whyte Norse ah, yes. The Scone of Stone, the coronation bread of the Dwarf kings. I miss Sir Pterry very much.
I'm pretty certain someone just arbitrarily chose a really big rock and decided "Aight, you're going to be the crux of coronation for this country".
I love how this lump of stone, imbued with great significance after having all these fantastic Biblical legends surrounding its mystical & historical importance...then once geologists became "a thing", they were just like: "Nope! It’s an ordinary, bog-standard piece of red sandstone, from an Irish quarry. Absolutely no mystery here!" As someone who got an 'A' in A Level Geology, I very much appreciate this typically no-nonsense, brutally fact-based assessment of the Stone of Scone’s true, rather magnificently mundane, origin story!☺️
5:58 This is the criminal defense attorney everyone should have. Serious credentials on this guy that actualize both possible meanings of his job title. Def recommended.
Custodian: “You’re Scottish so you must be drunk.”
"Ha ha, I can't understand a word of your slurred babble. Here's some money for the bus."
@@johnladuke6475 “Cheers pal. Noo awa’ you and chew mah banger, ya wee sleekit bam!”
Just another ripper video, you’re definitely on my top 5 TH-camrs list nowadays 💕 keep it up
Love the video can’t wait to see you get even bigger then before
I LOVE your work.
So naturally, I would LOVE to see you crowned!
Best. Storyteller. EVER!
Seems like the stone is about to be brought back to England in the near future...
This man deserves millions of subs. Maybe I'm just partial to his dry, sarcastic humor but I think it's too quality.
How you talk about serious stuff but still have me pissing myself laughing is quality, I'm enjoying going back through your videos keep it up man.
Was the stone brought in for King Charles coronation?
"Much can be made of a Scotsman... if he is caught young."
Lol I forget which brit said that, but that was one hell of a British low key diss.
Ah, yes. Irish man is back.
I love The Parting Glass so much, what a wonderful song to end in
Qxir I would love to see you do one of the scariest places in the America. The Waverly Hills sanatorium. This place has been documented by almost every paranormal investigator in the country and all have came to the same conclusion. There is definitely something going on up there.
The Stone is supposed to cry out when the TRUE king is seated upon it.
You had me at "boooo" me lad. :D
Same here...
Please do more rimes. This video has such a great beginning!
The stone is about to be used!
How would anybody look at that giant rock the size of a truck tire and somehow believe that anyone at any point in history would have said, "Ya, this will make a great pillow because I always sleep with my head elevated 10" above my body"
What a bunch of legends!!!!
0:05 I couldn't agree more
He wrote in ENGLISH
@@marksheppard4475 a rinne
Really well narrated, even better than usual
I was in a watching all your videos binge and then you suddenly upload
Is like you made this
For me...
That outro was oddly chilling and soothing. Definitely took me off guard!
I'd just go straight to the beatin' lmaoooo
SO, this is where Terry Pratchett got the inspiration for "The Fifth Elephant"... Very cool.
7:29 Tiny horse deserves its own video!!
the scone in the stone of scone, scone abbey, and the town of scone, is pronounced scoon
Another great video! I love how this channel is like nothing else I've seen on TH-cam. 👍
So, the stone Jacob slept on while having visions/dreams sent by the big guy himself was then used as a seat for kings....
Sounds about right for us humans.
Best series on TH-cam.
I've always understood the stone at castle blarney is the actual stone of scone.
I'll take my 20 quid in more tales from the bottle, thank you.
Excellent choice using "the parting glass" for the stone's return.
Qxir uploaded
Today is a good day
Wow, I had to pause after less than 30 seconds just to marvel at yet another clever Terry Pratchett reference. 22 years late but now I have additional appreciation for the "Scone of Stone" joke in The Fifth Elephant
Long live the King
Hi
Well, I guess we'll be 'cracking' that out again soon
God rest the queen 👸
No
rest is piss
What
The taped rock made me spit my coffee on my iPad. Thank you!
I hope you intended the last scene---of the stone being paraded---to be funny because I surely thought it was.
Hey Qxir, I just bought one of your t-shirts and I love it! Some many doodles characters in one single shirt! Keep making the great videos👍
Hello from Britain thanks for this video because before I didn’t even know we had a stone of scone.
WE don't. Scotland does
Hahahaha goddamn i love these videos. Great sense of humor, emotive illustrations, interesting content and excellent voiceover.
"Booo" to England, says the man speaking English.
That's pretty much what everyone says that speaks English outside of England. The Sun never sets on pissing off your subjects.
I actually used to shoot pheasants with the direct descendant of an old king of Ireland, from the O'Neil clan. One day I showed up after growing a mustache and he remarked "What's a hippie doing at the shoot?". Good times.
It’s actually pronounced “Scoon”
But since it's spelled Scone we'll forgive him.
@@davidbuchan2909 I have no problem with it, some of the jokes are quite good
My favourite part is the rock in the car behind what I assume is bulletproof glass.
I’d give my life to get Qxir to be the king of Ireland.
I love the assassin Creed black flag song at the end you never disappoint my brotha
If all I had was a pillow stone, I’d be hallucinating too.
If your attorney is most famous for stealing a thing and getting away without as much as a slap on the wrist, that's probably a good sign.
Going out on the parting glass. very classy.
