The story: happened centuries ago
Ryan: I hope he doesn't die
Me: who's gonna tell him
I believe puppet history is technically eligible for several Tony’s
Musashi: Now I've thrown him off his rhythm. STREET SMARTS!
Bittenbinder probablly could have read that book. Probably got a lot from it.
This show has evolved and grown so much that it doesn't even feel like "Shane" anymore. Like Professor is honestly its own mysterious chaotic entity and Shane is merely trapped being its power source.
Shane came across a genie and his wish was to continue ruining history but sprinkle in more ✨theatre✨ and the genie obliged and now Shane is trapped
Demon, man.
Remember Shane inviting Demons into his body?
Demon got him
Can we talk about 1. shane's vocal range and 2. the fact he said gay rights for ores
I mean, he made Maisy a lesbian in the hotdoga, so what did you expect XD
(though I also love how he does it so smoothly that it never feels preachy)
I can't believe Ryan is the guy who screamed like a maniac in the old city jail and also the same guy who slammed a racist kid over his head at 12
It’s funny cause I feel like Shane is exactly the opposite. He is unperturbed by ghosts but would get beaten up by a 12 year old now.
The difference between ghosts and racists is racists can bleed lmao
The reactions to kid Ryan slamming a child to the ground and then finding out he was racist have the same energy as Shane finding out the Ax Man was racist
Yeah so weird. He killed people… “okay” and was racist “what a piece of shit!”
“OAR, weren’t we?”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We don’t deserve Shane. This is amazing.
I love Garrick softly saying the songs aren’t dumb and he likes them, Ryan begrudgingly admitting he knows and everyone likes them.
Imagine being 12 years old and hearing of this country bumpkin that straight up murdered not just one but TWO of your older, more skilled relatives and then your family just looks at you like "alright buddy, you're up". The audacity.
Ryan: “You’ve seen this show right? You see these dumb songs?”
Garrick: “They’re not dumb. I like them.”
Ryan: “I know. Everyone does.”
I felt this because my dad was a substitute teacher that all the kids loved and made up songs 🥴
Well atleast Ryan is self aware that he is the only one who hates these songs.
@@mars_mayday there is nothing funnier than his pure valid hatred for the greatest showman
Wow, if Ryan can lift someone up over his head and slammed them into the ground as a child, imagine what he can do to a puppet
If Ryan tries to attack the Professor, the samurai sword will protect him🔪
Somebody give Shane Madej a hug cause these last 2 songs have been devastating. Catch me crying over gay oars and a clipped coin at 2 am.
The reason he carved the oar into a sword is because Sasaki's sword was huge. Like really big. A three shaku blade (35.5 inches or so). For reference a typical katana is about 24 inches. Musashi would have been at a significant reach disadvantage, so he carved the boat's oar to be a wooden sword 43 inches long. Giving him the reach advantage.
Yups sasaki is the master of Nodachi (straight edged long sword) and a really a good one qt that according to the story, Musashi in the other hand is used normal length katana
This is hilarious and badass.
Couldn't he get a bigger metal sword before that???
@@liriodendronlasianthus yes, but that would be exactly what his opponent would be expecting. Also, hello fellow Starkid fan!
@@DarkestElemental616 Hello fellow Starkid!
Well, that makes this whole affair way way funnier.
im sorry but mikinosuke's parents selling him has the same energy as y/n getting sold to one direction by her drug addict mother
@@casstheshifter2176 lmao i posted this like a week after the video went up
A DUET?! THE PROFESSOR IS BRINGING HIS A GAME THIS SEASON!
I read this comment before the video began and wait for the whole video
It was worth it
theory: the professor actually really appreciates ryan, he doesn’t let him win because that would mean he has to leave
brUh if any of my teachers prevented me from passing so i wouldnt leave, i'd be--- wtf 😂
Never did I think that a song about disconnected gay oars that were separated because one had to be turned into a sword to kill an esteemed samurai by an equally but secretly more esteemed samurai would be genuinely moving and very very well done
The lore so far:
-The professor is either an immortal or a time traveler
-He has had a run in with a genie AND he’s used up all of his wishes.
-The genie possibly turned him into a puppet (the one episode where he mentioned the genie tricking you even if you phrase something just right)
-The jelly beans in the coveted cup given to the episode’s history master turns them into a puppet, but the ones in his book bag do not (Black Death episode - Steven and Ryan both take beans and eat them on camera, although that was the first episode so lore may not count there)
-the professor eating his own jellybean shits
-the professor farming and eating spiders
-cats being the natural predator of puppets
-puppet discrimination is canon
New theory: Ryan has a little notebook he's using to actually tally history points in hes never ceasing quest to become history master
@@MrNarwhaI nah, when you tally up actual question points without the bullshit Ryan has either won or tied every episode beside the last two
Theory: Shane is the genie but the reason the Professor owes him is that Shane is actually a demon
IN FACT, when Shane stole the Goatman's Bridge, he might have imprisoned the Goatman in the Professor!
Imagine being the Professor and politely asking your guests if they've ever been in a fight to get your students engaged in your topic, imagining that you'll maybe hear about some drunken fisticuffs or something. And instead your good friend Ryan just casually drops into the conversation that he physically picked up and slammed a racist child into the ground at age 12. How do you even recover man I would be unable to think about anything else for at least 3 weeks
I remember kicking the ass of a Drug Dealers kid for picking on a cat when I was in 6th grade. I had no idea and didn’t know what a Drug dealer even was. My mom quickly made me apologize to which he said I did nothing wrong and said he’s seen that I was a good kid to people when they earned it and that his son was being a shit that day. So yeah Drug Dealer said I was within my right to kick his kids ass, I guess professionals do have standards
@@ThirrinDiamond probably the closest thing my Mom ever came to a near death experience as far as I know lol. Ignorance is Bliss, I had no idea what I was doing or who I was messing with until I got told about it years later.
@@fist-of-doom487 ........ you escaped a potential maffia. Thats fucking insane man. I hope yall are safer now and the trauma isnt too intense for either of ya 💗
@@ThirrinDiamond nah, we laugh about it now and I feel a certain amount of pride. No lasting trauma from it, in fact I couldn’t even say their was trauma in the moment. That was YEARS ago. I’m 26 now
Musashi is literally the most savage person in history, this man straight up SLEPT while his opponent got ready to kill him 💀💀💀💀💀
Why did I originally read this as “this man slept with his opponent” 💀
Shout out to young Ryan for fighting that racist boy. Ricky Goldsworth jumped out; talk shit get hit.
This whole season I've actually been thinking one day that ricky goldsworth is coming out and when that they comes were all screwed
Ricky Goldsworth has always been around, Ryan just hadn't named him until Unsolved.
I love Garrick and the Professor's initial shock at Ryan picking up someone over his head and slamming him into the ground, until Ryan said that the kid was being racist and then they were like "that's understandable". Mood tbh
the immediate shift from "woah, holy shit dude??" to "oh okay fuck that guy lmao"
@@glassphoenix9095 so real like at first I was like "dam you go tiny" to "oh WOW you GO tiny"
i can't believe i DIDN'T expect a heartbreaking homoromantic song about two oars from mr madej
i didnt expect anything less from the guy who lay down on a pentagram and screamed "rock and roll buckaroo"
Nobody:
Me: I hope those gay oars work out their relationship problems..
@@midnightramblings i hope its not a will they oar won't they situation.😏
plot twist: the professor is slowly turning all of the guests into puppets so he can recruit a giant puppet army which he will use to challenge the genie that turned him into a puppet. If the genie doesn't turn him back, he will intstead turn every human into a puppet, except for his dear friend ryan, who he's been trying to protect all along.
The professor is actually protecting Ryan by not giving him the jelly beans.
IS THAT WHY HE WONT LET RYAN WIN?? COS THE WINNERS GET TURNED INTO PUPPETS?
This show really is just 'guy puts on a puppet show for his friends where one of them is begrudgingly delighted and one is enthusiastically delighted'
So irl Ryan lore
* He's been able to throw kids at 12 with pure strength
* He was given a mysterious katana
* He fell into some bricks and has some memory because of it
@@gretablackwell495 I'm just waiting for it to be reveal that Ryan actually went through secret warrior training
His father is a serial killer dentist and his mother has claimed to be an alien
“That’s a pretty bird” “Jesus that’s not a pretty bird” Beef boy 2020
Theory: The professor was once a human who was forced to eat one of the genie’s jelly beans in return for 3 wishes, turning him into a puppet forever. Since them the genie has forced him to lure unknowing participants into eating those same jelly beans and face the same fate as he. He is forced to lure unknowing participants into his game and ‘reward’ them at the end, really dooming them to the same fate as he... When Ryan ‘looses’ an episode of puppet history, he really is winning because the professor is protecting him from spending the rest of his life living as a puppet...
Omfgg so the professor is actually saving Ryan from a puppet fate cause he cares about him and likes having him around 😭😭😭 my heartttt
All those arguments with each other and the professor must be thinking " if only you knew" " this is for your own good" OW MY FRIEKIN HEART
IN REALITY THE PROFESSOR CARES ABOUT RYAN AND THAT'S WHY HE ALWAYS LOOSES CHANGE MY MIND
29:53 hate how nobody is talking about this. this song is about gay OARS and shane SNAPPED. if you look a bit past the comedy, this is honestly really beautiful.
The professor is actually protecting Ryan by not giving him the jelly beans.
@@umaaamiii she's immune because of the tie in the second episode
are we not gonna talk about the implied lore of garrick eating the jelly bean and turning into a puppet?? what does that mean???? how does the puppet world work?????? who gave professor mcnasty a jelly bean- is the professor what happens when someone becomes the real and true history master????????? THE IMPLICATIONS
Rory what if that's why the professor won't let Ryan win any episodes? Because it's Beef Boy's legacy to break the curse. 'Twas in the prophecy.
does the whole jelly bean thing imply that the professor was once human sized? was there a 6" blue fuzzy dude just walking around?
I... Professor? Blink if you're being held hostage by a Genie.
@@Travel_with_Gigi That's how we know for a fact that he is in trouble, when he finally blinks after 10 episodes 😂
fun fact: Miyamoto didn’t use steel swords, he commonly used wooden swords, as he wanted to prove his level of skill to his opponent
Also sort of explains why the stories mentioned here talk of how he bludgeoned his opponents. And why the younger brother looked to be stabbed by his own sword instead Musashi’s.
"Oh no Ryan don't chuck kids! Oh he was racist? Oh ok get his ass"
Love to see it
Ryan's various names/alter-egos:
. Ryan Bergara
. Ricky Goldsworth
. Balls Balls
. Beef Man/Boy
theory: ryan is actually being protected by the professor if he is spreading his puppetry disease by jelly beans.
also hey garrick. garrick. why. why do you have that puppet. who made that for you. i have questions. GARRICK.
That’s a puppet you can order. My local theatre used the same exact puppet as Gary Coleman in Avenue Q.
@@melaniemagolan2241 that does explain that but then why. why does he have it. did shane call garrick to be like, hey i need to send you this puppet for a bit
“Trust me, it’ll mindfuck so many people it’s gonna be hilarious man.”
1) Garrick liking the songs at the end of the production is hilarious because he notoriously hates musicals (as mentioned on every Guilty Pleasures podcast featuring a musical)
2) Ryan being the kind of kid who can slam DUNK a kid into the ground is exactly the kind of challenger Musashi would have loved to have had
3) Garrick and Ryan are the duo teachers would constantly have to separate at school because they'd keep joking around with each other
Shane is out here harmonizing with himself like Beyonce do. He is on another level.
everyone here is just ignoring the wonderful moments where the Professor is clueless about sports but still trying to follow along with Ryan and Garrick's Sports Bro Talk
I'm shocked that as alpha-bro as Shane is that he doesn't follow sports.
Ryan and Garrick radiate the same energy as wake and bake college students in a class they love and it fills me with such joy.
theory: Something went down with the professor and a genie and sense the professor owes him, the genie is making him collect souls by giving people jelly beans that turn them into puppets and the professor is trying to save ryan by making him lose every time.
That is absolutely perfect I showed my sister this comment she said that no one else has turned into a puppet.
"I mean I know he's a serial killer, but I kinda wish he was my dad!"
"Well for the right price, he could be"
It has been a loooong time since I've laughed so hard at anything, thank you for Puppet History
The more stories I hear of Ryans childhood, the more everything makes sense
Didnt he almost brained himself on a pavement once and got hit by lighting once or is that just me halucinating him say that
alifia ! I think so and his mum put herself in the washing machine or something and told him she wasn’t his real mum I can’t remember😂😭
@@eleanorgouldie9355 Yeah. She put a wig in the washing machine and told him that his real mom was in the washer, I think.
Ryan and the professor slowly becoming more theatrical in their hatred for each other is the subplot I didn't know I needed
The “face” The Professor made when he learned about Ryan’s flight ability seriously made him question antagonizing him was priceless!
The dislikes are just Ryan creating different accounts because he’s still bitter about losing.
imagine if that family just kept going down the line and musashi straight-up fought a baby
He would’ve killed that baby. Musashi’s hands are rated E for everyone. lol
@@mr.goblin6039for three easy payments of free.99, you too can catch these hands 😂😂😂
“I didn’t know there was a samurai hiring service”
my brain: *HIRE A SAMURAI*
Correction: Rick important people hired samurai. Poor people who could not afford to hire samurai did not hire samurai
I'm pretty sure ryan tried to reference in judging from the look on his face
Ryan: i picked him up over his head and threw him on the ground
The Professor: *F E A R*
why is no one talking about how adorable garrick is
Yes! When the oar was sad he was like "you ok?" Immediately made me want to see more of him! And that ending! Perfect! Would love to see him come back!
“I mean, I know he’s a serial killer, but I kinda wish he was my dad.”
“Well, for the right price he could be.”
These two are so casually unhinged, I love it 🤣
I need a Puppet History on the six wives of King Henry VIII
I know, there’s a musical. BUT- there could be more and we need more
In this episode: Ryan is bitter about losing, the Professor rubs it in.
that ending omgggg now i demand a ryan puppet just to mess with him lmaooo
"Sometimes you gotta make a business decision" is maybe one of the most stone cold phrases i've ever heard refer to murder.
Well, Ryan would be capable of murder with no problem. He looks mentally unstable to me, aparently from some prolonged childhood trauma or something similar, and he shows zero empathy quite often. He scares me, tbh.
i didn't think i'd be seeing gay oars in this week's history lesson, but i stan
A yes the racoon My ancient enemy well i can’t lmao i’m just saying lol i stan either way
Not only did Musashi carry a sword, he's know for carrying two - Deadpool style. That's actually why a gene I have studied (as a biochemist) is called Musashi - because it looks like that classic two-sword pose.
Dual wielding?!?! Man that’s some anime crap right there. Well I’m not surprised his life sounds like a two season shonen.
I assumed that cause the picture has 2 swords and at the end it said something like 2 swords style or something. But damn that's cool
You mean 2 katanas at once? Most samurai did carry 2 swords, but while one of them would be indeed a katana, the other would be a wakizashi, more of a short sword/knife.
Oh my god Garrick turning into a puppet at the end killed me
“It hurts..”
After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly.
Actual Score: Ryan had 5 points and Garrick had 5. It was a tie, but you could say Ryan won because he wasn't turned into a puppet.
Me: realizes that Shane has to send the winner's prize ahead of time, so of course the guest is always gonna win
Also me: roots for Ryan
They say the sound people outside the guest’s house are having cups so they can give one any time. But I also think Ryan will never win lol
ngl musashi seems like the kind of guy who'd have a 'who can walk faster on the sidewalk' mental competitions with strangers on the street and then really get into it and congratulate himself when he won
You know, the entire thing of him murdering someone at 13 years old and then deciding swordfighting was the life for him makes me think it was more about being a murderer than a samurai
yeah, kinda interesting how they keep repeating that he literally slaughtered a child and they're just like ':) what a badass' like uhh...
They did accept a duel i mean he couldnt run or do anything else. If you think hes a murderer then everyone who fought in wars are murderers as well by ur logic. If you were in a war and there was a child there that had volunteered and had a gun ur not just going to die and accept that.
@@StonerOfGotham difference is they accepted the possibility of death by having the duel
@@andrewliu8048
"If you think hes a murderer then everyone who fought in wars are murderers as well by ur logic." Yes...they are.
can i just say that one of my favourite things about this show is that they dont just do american history? like, they do america and asia and africa and things that i learnt at school (as a brit). i just think its cool bc we dont rly get to hear about much that happens outside europe in my school
right? i'm from south america and it's so fun to learn about other places, if it was only history from the united states i wouldn't watch
1 - did Shane did just a duet with himself?! MASTERFUL!
2 - I demand the return of Puppet Garrick!
You know the professor is *one of those teachers* cause he’s trying to connect with his students via sports
The story, the song, the puppet plotwist ending, bodyslamed racist. I don't know which part of this episode is my favorite
Important detail is that kojiro used a longer than normal katana, which is why Musashi used the oar, as kojiro was used to having the reach advantage, so Musashi made his oar slightly longer giving him the win
The Genie thing is giving me Hot Daga vibes...
If this somehow spawns a Hot Daga spin-off, I will be so happy and Ryan will be so mad.
His story sounds like if a new person started playing an rpg board game and kept getting super high rolls lol.
I didn't think homosexual oars would be on my 2020 bingo list
No one is talking about how cute The Professor’s face looks in the thumbnail 🥺🥺🥺
I think The Professor uses face tune or something lol he looks great in all of the thumbnails
What are you talking about...
HE IS ALWAYS CUTE!
and wise!
and magnificent!
ryan and shane should probably go see a chiropractor...
...it must be tiring carrying 2020 on your shoulders
The oar duet was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever been blessed to see and hear.
My mom said that samurais were “very sexist” and the edo period was terrible for women. I havent fact checked her but we do descend from a samurai so the call is coming from inside the house if you know what I mean. On a positive note, I also heard samurais were hella gay.
If I remember it rightly, samurai found it weird not to have sex with men/not be bisexual
the dude never sired his own kids and instead chose to buy them is a big sign that homeboy wasn't into coochie
Natalie Rubilar i’m losing my mind over this comment, thank you for giving me a good chuckle
Ryan’s fight story is so hilarious but also very sad
One day, the answer's gonna be a genie in some strange historic way.
I want someone to choose the genie answer just for the hell of it, so we can all see what happens.
‘Who helped the Egyptians build the pyramids of giza? Was it,
a. Slaves
b. Aliens or
C. The genie
“Is he gonna turn back?”
“Nope! See ya next week!”
“This hurts”
So Shane just sung a duet between two gay oars, huh?
Alright.
I love this show.
I really hope Garrick was just like, “I have a puppet of myself, if that can be helpful”
The opposite is also really funny where after he agrees to be on the show, Shane just send Garrick a puppet version of himself with zero context
Garrick and Ryan are vibing so well on wholesome bro activities and Shane (professor) was like "Can't relate! I'm an esoteric gremlin."
I did a lot of research on musashi back in middle school. I read his equivalent of "the art of war" and it carried me through my middleschool/highschool wrestling career. I remember shaving the bark off of branches and making "swords" with the neighborhood kids and we would have little duels.
“Irritating his opponent”
Oh so that’s what the professor is doing to Ryan for when they eventually do battle. This whole season is the pre-battle. 😱
My kid has started watching these with me, and when this came out he had just gotten a 'magic board', so he spent the episode answering along with Ryan and Garrick. (Also he loves The Professor)
So your little kid is like...I answer B, I think the samurai murdered his master :-/
Kojiro: *gets his sword stuck in Musashi’s headband knot*
Musashi: “heh, nothin personnel kid”
The oar song is unfairly good and so is this entire lesson. 10/10 loved it.
I love the backgroud characters holding a sign that says "Why are these signs in English?" while one of the most wild stories I've ever heard was happening
garrick's laugh is so contagious like it wasn't even that funny but his pure delight made me LAUGH
Miyamoto Mushashi will forever be the closest thing we've ever had to a real life anime character.
I mean Son Goku (Sung Wukong) never actually might have existed. So i have to agree.
There was a South American native Chief who caused such problems for the Spanish, that when they caught him, they cut off both his hands and set him free; as if to say, "He's no threat now"; only to have him fit knives to the ends of his stumps and make a come back!
Mans was doing side quests in the middle of a main quest lmaoo
Ok Shane said "gay rights for oars" and Ryan made a reference to The Office and basketball multiple times. *I'M LIVING*
Backstory: The professor does not let Ryan win because he wants Ryan to remain human and not a puppet.
Makes sense considering Ryan is a sucker for jelly beans
OH MY GOSH!!!!! DemonShane protecting Ryan in all forms bye
the people on the show aren't contestants, they're Victims
just like edward and bella
I would love to see all the past winners turn into puppets...
