I love how they all have the same weapon, so that they are either 1) stealing the weapon from each other or 2) handing it over voluntarily or 3) really have all the same weapon, because that line is only made with that specific weapon :D
Hahahahaha!! That ending. =D. Unexpected. And utterly hilarious. But honestly, I'd def give up a crummy old idol for cheese and branston pickle on a baguette.
@@jwhite-1471 How dare you! Branston pickle FTW! Though, I must admit, my husband has been getting these Devil Spit pickles lately, and they're really good. =D.
Now someone make an edited clip where the speed of the video slows down every time someone says "Not so fast!" It'll be the length of a feature-length film or possibly a whole tv-series
This was amazing, but also…the ending just…wow. Yep, this is why I follow you. You make really funny parodies and comedy sketches, and always put a twist on them at the end…
I was actually expecting the local guide to "not so fast" him at the end, revealing himself as the true villain all along. Especially since he was holding a baguette, and baguettes are French.
It’s always nice seeing everyone being so wonderful to one another and handing over both the idol and the gun every time. True and honorable gentlemen the British are.
That twist at the end... as an anthropologist I can vouch for its historical accuracy. But to be honest I also expected a Nazi-party to not-so-fast blackthorn.
Very good. Another one to watch over and over and still laugh at on the twentieth viewing. We're having a severed head poetry contest over on loremen by the way.😊
The British Museum is actually a Gigantic Mecha made of stone but it transformed back into museum mode with a gun because frankly that's way more intimidating.
The trope I _can_ get enough of is when character A is explaining to character B why they believe character C is guilty of something. It almost always follows this pattern: A: "I think C is the one behind this." B: "That's ridiculous! How could you even think that?" A: "He barely ate anything yesterday." B: "What does that prove? If you're trying to convince me that C is doing this, it's gonna take more than--" A: "That's not all. I was outside his room last night and I heard someone snoring." B: "Lots of people snore. If you're trying to convince me that C is doing this, it's gonna take more than--" A: "He was doing laundry this morning." B: "It's his turn on the chore wheel! If you're trying to convince me that C is doing this, it's gonna take more than--" A: "Also I saw him doing the thing and I have a well-lit 4K video of him doing the thing." B: "We have to stop him!" Character A always sorts the evidence by convincingness, in ascending order. Dude, use descending!
I feel sorry for aspiring young actors, trying to make it in the movies in a time when ABK is playing literally every single character in everything.
They weren't so fast, and ABK had got all the parts by the time anyone else showed up at the casting.
Seems like the British Museum managed to edge its way past ABK in casting, though.
ScarJo has to do something in her spare time!
No black actors....just an observation, 'not attempting to embarrass or cancel anyone!
Aspiring actor: Tries to get a role
ABK: "Not so fast! I'll be taking that!"

That has to be the best ever end gag I've ever seen. That's fucking funny. This is how to do satire.
That gun belongs in a museum!
This definitely puts a different spin on the hide-and-seek The State Archives under the Danish and Prussian Crown had in the 1860s.
I honestly felt like this was one of his weaker videos until the end, which made it one of the top 5
The Getty: Not so fast, British Museum!
i was too impressed at the cleverness to laugh
I do love how he just wants to return the artifact to the villagers. And I love that the British museum intervenes, lol.
So true xD
But IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

"Not so fast, I'll be taking that" might as well be the British national motto.
The British Museum has traditionally operated under the “Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers” modus operandi.
Yeah, well, being Danish and all, they probably learned it from us, sorry 'bout that - we really should have minded our manners back then...

Heroic archaeologist: "Finally, we can return the idol to the villagers."

He is a magnificent science-ologist and he deserves our respect.

I really thought that the Generically Foreign Local Guide would be the twist but noo.. Always the British Museum with a gun.
I'm very glad I wasn't drinking anything, because I feel sure I'd have ruined my laptop if I had been when I got to the end.
Me too!!!!
Say what you will, but the first building that aims a gun at me has my undivided attention.

He doesnt upload often, but when he does, it's always a great content
He does up load... not so fast.

About once a fortnight. If you want to see more of him, check out his loremen podcast about mythology. Also super funny.

"Not so fast generically foreign local guide" 🤣
I thot he said genetically foreign local guide but this makes more sense 😆
"sweet pickle" - "then I think I'll be taking that" don't know why but this one got me more than anything else.
I'm surprised no one made their "archeologist" thief character work for the British museum.
But if he worked for the British Museum, he would be an archaeologist.
@@omp199 I don't think everyone who works for the British museum is an archaeologist. Seems an excessive requirement for a tour guide 🤔
Never realised how strange the expression 'not so fast' is imagine saying not so quick and you see how silly it sounds.
"A trifle slower, Prof. McGuffin!"
Avoid being so hasty with your actions!
In some old books there is "Not so hasty!"
"not so fast" sounds like something an average villain would say
"not so quick" sounds more like Fanny Hill's line

The British Museum is and has always been the real villain.

I won't lie, you caught me completely by surprise. What a twist! And a great one, at that.
The BlackThorn voice was spot-on, and the costume he put on to play the museum was astounding. You could barely tell it was him under there.
Ah, yes: The great Nutso Fast, gunslinging archaeolothief of the British Museum. His name has become proverbial 🛐
The ending was the most accurate to reality by far
Everything is good here, but Professor MacGuffin and Museum with a gun are what made me laugh the most, thank you
I think the ending to this video had to be one of, if not the, hardest times I’ve ever laughed in my entire life. Honest.
One talented ginger and 91 seconds = better Indy movie than Crystal Skull.
As a French guy, I have to congratulate you on your French accent and on the pronunciation of that "magnifique". You nailed it.
I am honestly cracking up at the ending. This is brilliant, as always.
"Blimey! It's a British museum with a gun!"
😆
Lmao oh that twist at the end. 🤣
I can really relate to everyone being distracted away from the ancient artifact by the sandwich.
I heard the sound of unexpected twists, but that Museum twist I didn't hear coming!
I tip my hat to you, Professor ABK!

That was the perfect ending! Was hoping there'd be some sort of "it belongs in a museum" joke 🤣
British Museum (with a gun): "That belongs in a museum!"
Villagers: "k.."
Brilliant as usual... and the ending.. absolutely spot on.
"P-professor McGuffin... is... is that a Chekhov's gun?!"
That ending sent me to hysterical chuckles. Brilliant, simply... *Revolver cocking sound*
- I'll be taking that brilliant!
