Fashion is a fickle beast that molds and shifts with time, spawning new styles ranging from the modest and practical to the wacky and eccentric. This video will focus on the latter, and with the birth of human civilization giving rise to social structure thousands of years ago, there are no shortage of bizarre trends throughout history! First we'll dive into the bizarre trend of a fake limp, taking after an iconic princess of the age. To follow that up, we'll explore one of the pointiest fashion trends: Crakows. Finally, we'll learn why there was a period of time where everyone was crazy for pineapples! - ตลก

Fun-fact:
I come from a small city in Germany. Our cityleader had successfully grown by himself pineapples in a orangery in the 18th century. He was so proud of it that he built pineapple-statues on every building he possessed. They're still on the roofs to this day.
What's the name of the city? Just so I can ogle the pineapples on Google
I have got to see these pineapple statues. Where in Germany is this?
@@sendmorerum8241They were grown in "Schloss Schwöbber bei Hameln".

@@merwer9271 I thought it was Fasanerie Castle by pineapple breeder Prince-Bishop Amand von Buseck. But who knows how many castle-owner was into pineapple cultivating at that time... 🍍
We call the boots “roach stompers” or “rat stompers” because unlike square toe boots, they can get into the corners to smash the life essence out of the small vermin as they flee for their life.
This is about the most american way ive seen someone explain something, take my like and feel self accomplished for it. :)
Damn, now they don’t look that ridiculous
That is the most Texas way to say we wear them so we can stomp on things
big yeeyee energy
He he he he he!!! 😈😈😈
That painting by king Charles is actually a massive honor for that gardener. To be immortalized forever like that is difficult and it's likely the gardener couldn't have afforded a portrait like that anyway. Pretty cool
Dude, the gardener wasn't painted by King Charles. He was literally part of the painting to show the glory of the King. It's the same as when white people were painted with slaves pointing to them or handing them something on a platter. It was to glorify the white person and show that they were rich enough to own slaves.
The gardener is literally just set dressing. I don't remember if his name is remembered or there is a record of it, I hope there is, but he will have been completely overlooked by much of history. It was an honor, yes. But it's not exactly the way you described.
@Headache Chronicles obviously he wasn't painted by the king lmao I didn't say that. And no, he's not just set dressing, he's painting to intricate detail, whether he's the focus or not. Royal gardeners are also anything but "slaves" it's an esteemed position that pays quite well
@@skyetoddmakeup Ah to be so stupid and out of touch. This is what happens when you have no intelligence and just fake reddit values.
@@skyetoddmakeup The gardener is Jonh Rose and painting does not show that white people are rich and slave owners and wealthy because they have pineapple that's stupid and why would you even think of it they are both very obviously white persons in the middle of England and you are pushing agenda for no reason. Painting was probably to comemorate the death of Rose who was respected man on the court that is what RCT wrote as description below the image.
And that Habsburg jaw is quite stunning, amirite?
I love the ‘akshully this was incredibly classist!’ take- you know, because pointing out the obvious sentiment of the time is somehow wrong to do now. -_-
That thing with the Pineapples is actually very similar to Tulips. Beloved for their beauty, prices for still living bulbs skyrocketed during and after a tulip plague, causing them to be seen as status symbols with the wealthy having massive sects of their gardens dedicated to them. Funny thing is that tulip sellers eventually began taking pre-orders for them, proven in the form of vouchers which could later be turned in or even sold to someone else for a profit, leading to an actual speculative market on tulips... a speculative market on flowers, which obviously eventually crashed.
The original and best market bubble. The standard bearer for all to come.
Kinda the same with lobster actually. For a while it was seen as peasant food.
Then the wealthy tried it and capitalized on it.
E
Extra history did a series of videos on the Dutch tulip bubble, really great would recommend
Sam O'Nella may be back, but I'll always appreciate this bird for making that period of time without him, a lot more bearable.
Hey kids
is Sam really back though ?

Seriously surprised you didn’t mention St Paul’s Cathedral architected by Sir Christopher Wren. Instead of a dome, it was supposed to be modelled after a giant Pineapple. Whilst this didn’t go ahead, golden pineapples were still integrated into its design, on a couple minor spires.
Blue Jays don’t like wrens
The Wimbledon Tennis trophy also has a pineapple on top of it. It was that big of a status symbol.

Fun fact: The reason pineapples are called pineapples is because "apple" used to just be a synonym for fruit in general before becoming the name of a specific kind of fruit.
ah, now it makes perfect sense. the pineapple: the fruit of the pine tree.
I thought it was because it looked like a pine cone.
This is why people often think the forbidden fruit in the Bible was an apple because the King James renders the word "fruit" as "apple."
@@childofnewlight Pretty sure KJV says fruit. Perhaps the Tyndale Bible?
Like how 'meat' used to mean 'kinda any food'?
My grandmother still brought Pineapples as a house warming gift when I was growing up in the South, it was a sort of Southern tradition. I still do it, but its mostly the confused looks on peoples faces as they are presented the odd looking fruit.
6:15 Try listening to this with your eyes closed
thanks i had a great time

The fashion of massive chest cavity by Russian tanks on a front in the east is kinda making a comeback right now.
and the way its going, we might even see T-34s on the battlefield again
@@GexMax they already are if not mistaken.
@@Rasaevire You are not mistaken.
Pretty sure we have, Panthers and random shit too
So generous of Russia to gift Ukraine those things. They still provide chests too.
Being a former wardrobe consultant I told that story so many times.
Although slight nuance, nowadays suits aren’t designed to be buttoned, so it throws off your silhouette to button the bottom button. It’s less faux pa now and more “you’re making yourself look worse.”
Does it really look that bad to button-up all the buttons??
@@chee.rah.monurB depends on your figure, how tailored the garment is, and what you’re going for.
If you’re heavy set, not wearing a particularly well tailored suit, and wearing a looser fit it won’t make _too much_ of a difference.
But if you’re slim, it’s very well tailored, and/or you wear a tighter fit it will noticeably mess up how it flares at the bottom, mess with the tension on the buttons, and possibly pull on the shoulders of the garment.
As an expert, how long do you think until we are saying the same thing about everyone flaunting their """""super unique mental illness""""" of the season?
@@tcp8946 it’s laughably ironic that people like you will cry out that Mass shootings are solely caused by lone wolf crazies and yet also mock anyone seeking help for mental health, call any efforts to help them socialism, and insist that guns stay freely available to them.
Let’s say 10% of people claiming a different _nuerotype_ (not a mental illness to be ADHD, for example).
I’d rather waste some resources on a handful of people _while ensuring the safety of everyone else_ and making them better utilized by society (a healthy mind and body are required to work at peak efficiency) than have hoards of less effective, less happy, more dangerous people going around undiagnosed, unmedicated, and self-isolated.
And make no mistake, I support gun rights. Therefor I must support mental health programs- you can have bad national mental health, you can have easy access to guns, but you can’t have both in a stable, safe society.
@@Jessie_Helms No, I don't care even a little bit.
First of all, most of those shooters are likely government experiments (James Holmes, Ted Kazinkski, etc.) And the ones who aren't NEWS FLASH: SIHT HAPPENS.
If you want mass shootings to go away (anything over 2 people killed or wounded) then get rid of gun free zones and allow people the right to defend themselves. Over 95% of mass shootings (if you don't include gang violence which accounts for almost all gun violence) happen in Gun Free Zones. These maniacs know where to go so they can get away with it. You can't control crazy. That's the definition.
While my comment was obviously referring to people like you who claim to be an advocate or victim of some nebulous "mental illness", (no one ever has a single disease these days, just """""mental illness""""), you brought up something completely irrelevant to shoehorn in your faulty politics.
The second amendment is a god given right to defend yourself. Your feelings aren't. Deal with it.
Also that literally is not what irony is lol.
13:21 missed an opportunity to call it "Pinehub"
That transition into the world of tanks sponsorship was so seamless. By far the best I’ve ever seen. They better pay you extra if you can keep doing transitions like that lol
Idk I don't really agree with the comparisons being made of Bluejay and Sam O' Nella. Bluejays artistic style, writing and delivery are distinct from Sam. I love both of these channels and I hope both keep uploading quality content like this 🤌
Yeah I don’t get it, either. I found Bluey before someone pointed me to Sam, so I may have a confirmation bias, but I much prefer the tone and candor of the former. There’s something innately silly with Bluejay that I just don’t ‘get’ with Sam. Sam is cute but I find myself regularly lol’ing at Blue’s videos.
@@JumpCutThis Sam uses more edgy/dark humour whereas Blue uses wit.
Imo. I love them both tho :)
Yeah i prefer bluejay’s tone of voice and his immaculate comedic timing, I can’t help but laugh out loud every video
It's a lazy comparison made by people who don't know of Cyanide and Happiness
Faking having a crippling disability sounds eerily like the 19th century version of lying about mental illnesses in your twitter bio...
That's exactly what I thought!
You should read the Wikipedia articles on anorexia mirabilis and “fasting girls”. This online trend is actually nothing new! People (usually impressionable teenage girls) have been imposing illnesses upon themselves for clout for centuries.
There is this subset of historical female saints who essentially would torture themselves and make themselves ill and be applauded for it, names such as Catherine of Siena, Angela of Foligno, Marie of Oignies, etc.
I think it's basically termed Munchausen Symptom, where people legit are such narcissists that they pretend to have delibilating diseases, mental or physical, to the point it becomes psychosomatic. Pathologically lying on the level that it manifests into truth because well... I dunno I can't tell you. Sadly I'm too attached to reality to understand what the true gain of such self-imposed Hell is.
Apparently the number of US kids & teenagers being taken to the doctor for tics has sharply increased.
History might not repeat itself but it often rhymes

Most fashion trends are at their core all about proving you're too rich to bother doing or wearing anything practical.
I don't know about historical trends, but i hope this video will go to the Trending tab !
I'm waiting for the next one to talk about the old Chinese custom of foot binding.
I've heard crushing feet is a great method of fast beauty!
"Old"
Sure do hope he will show some pictures of feet that sustained binding.
Not that that's gonna make several viewers throw up and have night terrors.
🤢
@@brutusthebear9050 ballerinas?
@@StripedJacket Hardly.
Foot Binding pretty much makes you unable to walk. Ballerinas must sustain their entire weight and the energy of their dance on their feet.
Second “Charles” portrait is of the English Charles and his gardener.
Side note - that portrait of King Charles (of England) and his gardener is attributed by some fashion historians to be the beginning of the men’s suit due to the outfit King Charles is wearing - an outfit that he had made especially for the painting to “fit in” with his gardener.
11:35 'aka the Crimson Chin' AHAHAHAHA
I felt like I was intruding on something personal when Christopher Columbus first laid eyes on that pineapple
7:12 I saw the image and thought it looked cool so I paused the video. You have no idea how long I spent looking for “Skoćzykipple”
The comedic bits in this episode are fantastic
One of my favorite thing from the Regengy era is a pineapple shaped retucile - knitted from 2 colors of silk, and decorated with silver beads, from around 1800.

In Victorian era horticultural-metaphorical language (yeah, that’s legit a real thing), the mighty *pineapple* stands for _luxury_ and the _exotic_
Hence why there are still a ridiculous amount of carved stone pineapples or iron moulds dotted all around England topping: gateposts, garden walls, cornices, gable-ends and all kinds of other bizarre shit.
Makes me smile whenever I see one - even get a little hard sometimes 🤫🍍
What
@@BunnyOnASnuman not sure if you're whatting at the ridiculous number of pineapples on gate posts, garden walls and all over the place (which is very much a thing, and they don't even look much like pineapples, they're more like weird geometric eggs in egg-cups because I doubt the artisans who made them had actually ever seen a pineapple in the flesh)...or at the getting hard over them, which, yeah, fair enough, that's a bit of definite wtfery
@@hampstersquared you’re quite correct my good sir; the very same ovipoidal pineeggs are what get me so… _inspired_

@@Mothhour Yoshi 😅 🍍🥚
So flower language, but with more plants.
From what I recall (A story told to me by a Spanish receptionist many years ago), the reason Spanish has so many 'strange' sounds is one King has a lisp, so his court copied it and it was spread throughout society. (That's the short version).
Possibly, but Spanish has interdental sounds in all dialects. Remember "cada dia" is "catha 'thia". There is a precedent for an interdental "s". Interdentals are rare in European languages, and rarer in the rest of the world. Spanish and Greek have them. Germanic languages once had them, but only Icelandic and English retain them.
Christopher Columbus‘s accent goes between Italian, Spanish and French and frankly I am here for it.

9:12 - "Garry?........" So fricken funny.
I always fasten all of the buttons on my suit jacket and now I know why this ridiculous idea of not fastening the bottom one started.

The pineapple is still a well used symbol in Charleston, SC. You'll see it everywhere in the historic district of the city.
3:23 “Right wats all’ this en?”

5:20 "LIMPited addition" nice try sneaking it by
The Chales II that you showed in portrait isn't the same as the painting with the gardener. The portrait is of Carlos II of Spain while the painting with the gardener is Charles II of England.

Fun fact the Battle he is refrencing at 9:00 is the battle of Sempach,
The Austrians got their ass handed to them as well
9:45 I burst out laughing at that name and the setup lmao
I kinda want to see BlueJay post nsfw history facts on that different WebSite.
Nothing different about the video style or anything just all the weird shit people got into
One of the best ones yet Bluejay!!!😍
6:43 Fun fact, the hobble skirt is still in fashion among certain circles.
Guaranteed you aren’t referring to a Hokey Pokey circle
This is my new favorite fun fact!: 'ye' in 'ye olde'
The y is really used to substitute for the letter thorn (Þ, þ), derived from the runic alphabet of Futhark, and it's pronounced like "th", as in the word "the". The alphabet wasn't always 26 letters. It has gained and lost letters over the years
Yes, but in Old and Middle English, the "y" in "ye" had an actual name. It was referred to as a Thorn(e).
@@skyetoddmakeup yes, that is in the second sentence I wrote. Thank you tho
A blue jay history video? I must be dreaming!
14:09: in the wise words of Sam-o-nella "you know, when I was younger I played a lot of super monkey ball, and I always wondered, what kind of cruel tyrant shoves an ape into a ball for their own pleasure? Well now I know, those bastards"
Honestly, seeing the pinapple included here really wants me to see a video in your style about the popularization of the Potato as a food. Would you ever consider doing something like that?
The history of the tomato is a good subject too. People thought they were poisonous until around the mid 1800s. It took a lot to convince people to start eating them.
9:18
Wtf?
Actually, the pointy sabatons (armored shoe cover) worn by knights were often just hooked on over a regular sabaton and could easily be discarded. Additionally, they would only likely wear such pointy sabatons when parading.
Meh, I like the other sabaton better
I made a replica of the cover variety out of foam for a costume, and the foam wasn't bent at the right angles over my shoes, so they were sliding all over the place. I ended up taping the sabatons to my shoes and threw them away after the comic-con.
I’ve been missing you bluejay, I stumbled unto your channel a short while back, thought your editing and comedic punchlines were amazing, and I’ve been hooked ever since, bingewatching all your episodes the day I discovered you, and rewatching all the videos multiple times, thanks for being you.
This was worth the wait, the medieval shoe sniffer had me rolling
Love your pfp.
FOR THE REPUBLIC!
8:35 by wearing those shoes it was easier to walk through the dirty streets in the Middle Ages. The wide tip of the shoes pushed mud away.
Don't forget that Dole used to have a different company name and decided to rebrand after doing a bit of military coups and genociding in central america... oh and that they were one of the leading reasons why Hawaii was forced to cede land to America because they needed new land after the people in central america were tired of being murdered by fruit companies and threw them out...
Few know that bit of history or that the US Marines went down the South America to kill, I mean steal the farmers land for fruit. General Smedley Butler USMC wrote about this disgusting practice for the united fruit company. Then the US wonders why they hate us?
committing genocide

very accurate
BlueJay gained a lot of credibility with this video.
I'm still stuck on the frame when he mentioned his king. I concur.
All hail Giorno Giovanna.
And pineapples bring me pure joy indeed whenever I am asked who lives under the sea.
I am surprised BJ didn't mention cast iron pineapples as a popular decoration in late 1700's America. Gate posts, door frames, decorative panels over doors. Alexandria, VA has them everywhere. Annapolis has quite a few. I have seen them in Charleston, NYC, and New Haven as well. Never been to Boston, but I bet they have cast iron pineapples. Some places in Alexandria have cast iron pine cones as a less gaudy sign of hospitality. The cone variant was popular with Quakers and also some Catholics who were kinda like how Bono is now.
New Year, New Jay; this is good
0:55 Giorno Giovanna, the Italian Dreamer! No drugs, Perfecto Italia!
Italy is real!?!?!!
We need this back. If celebrities can wear these goofy clothes we can bring these back
I know it's a strange thing to complement but the sound design in this video is really great!

Happy New Year ! I am glad you're still making these videos. I find them incredibly interesting.
Especially the one where the guy made the submarine, and the one about the bees. Those really stick out in my memory. Not funny but well at little reality check. History heros or villains?? Still pondering.

According to physics, icebergs have 9 part of volume underwater, and 1 part of volume higher water... So if we talk according to reality, icebergs not so deep...
1:36 not as popular as the ice coated uniform though
12:48 I will quote this till the day I die
Imagine an archaeologist in a thousand years digging up some hand crafted shoes that have been clearly, deliberately built to mess up someone's stride. What would you ever make of that?

Thanks BlueJay, now I _need_ some black leather winklepickers
Happy New year and love your content.
7:31 only the wealthy could afford the fine leather to make the shoes at this time.. so if you had shoes with visible extra leather (pointy tips), you were seen as wealthy and fashionable. Not just because they were "sick".
I was sure that Tim would have gotten a Protection Order against Prof. Blue Jay for what whole "kidnapping and radiation" thing.
