So... on 4th July Americans celebrate something that happened on 2nd July by singing a song whose lyrics were written on 14th September 1814 during the War of 1812 and set to a tune that was a popular British drinking song. Fun fact: it wasn't adopted as the *official* national anthem of the US until 1931!
it's been said that song is difficult to sing as not many around who remember singing songs of crass and vulgar subjects while extremely drunk in a smokey pub.
Francis Scott Key was a lawyer from Maryland. His poem The Star Spangled Banner was about the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the war of 1812.
I'm pretty sure Fireworks can be lethal if used correctly. If not, then why are there Fireworks guns in multiple videogames including SunsetOverdrive & Dead Rising?
Thanking Combat Veterans for their service by triggering the PTSD they suffer from with these damn fireworks is thee worst kind of contradiction there is.
I'm not a veteran, but with the fear they set off in me, I can't imagine the feelings that must come after. I didn't do anything to earn respect. They did, even if I don't agree with the missions, I do understand they did what they thought was right. I refused to use them before the.... well beginning of my empathy
Yeah, that hit me the other day. I did my time but didn't see the kind of combat that so many others have. I get together with other vets. One confided in me that he goes down to his basement every 4th.
Hate to be that guy but I’m going to be that guy. The combat veterans of today aren’t the same ones who have us the holiday to celebrate. In fact they aren’t even Veterans of wars that threatened our constitutional rights they’re just being used for corporate interests.
I'm currently sitting roadside in a tent selling fireworks and this is hilarious. We've got explosives and flags, made the American way! By kids in China, just like the founding fathers intended! And yes, I am smoking a Marlboro red.
Did you forget to bring a bottle of bourbon and your firearms? You're not portraying the healthy American image if you forgot those while selling fireworks and smoking Marlboros.
I just gave away some calming treats I thought I bought for my cat but the ones that came were for dogs... I hope they work for that lady, she said her horses don't like it but they just stand still .... Her English Mastiffs on the other hand... Don't 😂😢😅...
It's describing a bet that could be considered a video game idea. The British navy fleet vs an American flag. If the flag doesn't fall, the prisoners are released. It also describes air burst munitions meant to blow up in the air in order to disperse shrapnel over a wider area and into trenches. Those air burst munitions became more and more common in future wars yet don't show up in war movies. The actual poem is about a 10 minute read. Even those people preferred shorter songs.
Also, it was a war which the US arguably lost; you're pretty much done when you have your capital city burnt down by the enemy. If there was a winner in that war, that would have to be Canada. The British were fighting that war with one hand tied behind their backs, since they were mostly preoccupied by the war against Napoleon.
I am an American, and when I see people wearing the flag, it sickens me. These are the people that think kneeling is disrespectful? They don't know a fucking thing about respect.
@@CliffSedge-nu5fv I saw a flag placed by the city that had been knocked down, and I was conflicted. As a boy, I was taught that the flag should be destroyed, as it had touched the ground, but as a regular guy, I wanted to pick it up and hang it back where it was. If people see me destroying it, as I was told is correct, they'll think I hate America. If I just pick it up and put it back on the pole, they'll think I don't respect the code! The Cub Scouts never told me this would be an issue. I was forced to leave it on the ground. (Not a joke, I live in Oklahoma, so it could have gone either way.)
@@ProtagonistVon It's good to have a diversity of opinion s represented here. Fireworks, even with missing hands and fingers, are an essential part of America's 4th of July. A 4th of July without fireworks could only happen in an America that had lost its will to live.
@@2ndfloorsongs This is the true beauty of opinions, I once believed flashing lights were the reason for any season so childhood me would agree with you. Through hell and high water, we should’ve all had pocket explosives. Now I can’t even look at them without getting painfully ill, but time does that.
The 2nd being the intentional independence day but it not getting finished for 2 days reminds me of futurama "you are technically correct, the best kind of being correct"

Don't feel alone my friend, there's a small army of us out here exercising our patriotic 2nd Amendment rights as Americans to own and blow these beautiful things up! If America's freedom needs to be defended with Roman candles, I'm ready and willing. P. S. I live in Los Angeles and don't have to cross no effing state lines. About 2 mi from my house, if you know who to ask, I can buy real Mexican fireworks. The BIG stuff! Illegal? Of course it is, what would be the fun if it wasn't?
In Episode #208, Summer Sucks, Jimbo and Ned had to deliver bottle rockets from Tijuana after a ban on fireworks in their home town. Apparently, a boy up in North Park had just lost his hands in a fireworks wreck, and its counterpart town, struggling to deal with the ban, didn't care. They did eventually come up with the king of carbon snakes, which sparked a national crisis, but the bottle rockets solved it.
Great video!!👍I can recall when I was homeless and faced many things in life until $50,000 biweekly began rolling in and my life went from a homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!
A lot of folks are still hoping for stimulus and salary to survive which won't do much!!! without no passive investments. I guess a few know about integrating into the micro economy to help substitute FIAT or usdt for a more tangible exchange Experience, it more like capitalization with about 43.307% profits/ ROI weekly though.. ps.. Caroline Maria Bravo, got me covered thanks.

I do not like July 4th, New Year's Eve or any other holiday or event that requires me to stay up late when I just wanna go to bed. LOL This is the first year that I am spending July 4th out of the US and I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel. I'll be sleeping well on that night. 😁
Guy that worked at the same place I did was in the habit of driving South to buy a truck load of fireworks before they were legal in Michigan. One year while he was drunk and setting off large mortars he left his face over the tube too long... lost an eye and his truck. Eye because of the mortar, truck because of the illegal fireworks (they confiscated it). Many many years before that, there was a place about 7 miles down the road from us that made illegal fireworks.... one year their garage blow up and killed them.
"Strap 17 hot dogs to a roman candle and send that thing sky high!" is exactly why I love my country... you can do stupid shit on holidays and no one looks twice. Nicely done. 😊
I'm glad that most of the cities in my state (Oklahoma) have banned personal firecrackers within the city limits (they still sell them at special seasonal stands just outside the city limits). I hate how obnoxiously loud they are and haven't played with such things myself in decades. They still have the big, beautiful fireworks, but I've seen enough of those by now that I no longer care (I used to work at the Magic Kingdom where they had those kinds of fireworks literally every night).
One day I want to see the honest version of the writing constitution. A group of rich guys trying to deliver the least amount of what Thomas Paine wrote about rights and freedoms in his pamphlets that lead to the recruitment of enough soldiers to actually win the revolutionary war. Our constitution is a watered down version of Thomas Paine, diluted just enough that the aristocracy would approve.
roger simultaneously capitalizes on idiocracy while simultaneously educating enough against it - because he appreciates history to do something with it - than what any of us ever will! It's his staunch meticulousness towards appreciating, cultivating, crafting, and honing in the best of it (sometimes applying it in the worst way) that makes roger the #1 financial success to date!! And now we know his secrets - if only any of us can follow through on that act - to that level! See we all can learn history, we all can make something of it - no one is special, but what makes roger special is his utmost of dedication (that is greater than the entirety of all americans combined - times 1 million lol) - and that's able to support the entirety of the US - by 1 person. Amazing!!!
Presidents have always had immunity for official actions taken in their capacity as president. This is why you don’t see presidents prosecuted for inaccurate drone strikes that kill civilians for example. The president does not have immunity in their capacity as a private citizen, for example as a candidate for re-election. All the court did was reaffirm this, as well as define the cases that might fall in the middle, which they labeled “presumed but not absolute immunity”.
Every 4th of July, I drink a hearty toast to the real Freedom Fighters: King George III and King Louis XVI. The time when America was taxed the least was under King George III. God Save the King!
It's always good to remind Brit show they got their asses kicked by the French & the Americans, the 2 greatest nations on the planet which GB was always dreamin of!
@@devangoutdoors Actually, we're not so great as we're led to believe. The US and France (and the UK) are all based on Mendacity. Nothing in the Declaration of Independence is true, except maybe the date. The US is "rich," but....they're also described as being a third world country wearing a Gucci belt. And graciousness is not one of America's virtues (as if it has any). The man MOST responsible for American Independence has no monument to him anywhere in Washington, D.C. He does have a city in Kentucky named for him. That man is King Louis XVI. Vive Le Roi!
@@Mikethemerciless11based on your comment, either you've never been out of the US or an European sympathizer. America has always been a great nation. The 3rd world country title is either given by other 3rd world nations which are jealous of us or because of rampant immigration from those nations in past 3 decades. Even France doesn't recognize the greatness of one of their greatest Kings, King Louis XI. They do have a history of flipping good & bad.
@devangoutdoors Bullshit. For one, you are very presumptive, and are trying to shut me up. I served in the US Army, and have been all around the world. Trust me. America is a scam. It is not, and has never been, a nation. It's really a bordello. France does recognize it made a grave error. They don't masturbate to bullshit the way Americans do to avoid hard truths and make themselves feel good. There are no such things as Democracies or Republics. When you're $40 trillion in debt, you are a third world country that masturbates to its own stupidity. The land of the scam, home of the conman!
I think a great sequel to this one is 'if music was honest' - talking about digital music in particular. But if you focus on guitars - especially how the electric guitar came about (like what the synopsis I wrote alludes to - but you can add some spongebob to it - of course!! lol) - that would be really something.
Sophisticated hobo-fire lol. I was born on the 5th, and most American always tell me - oh you're so lucky, so you celebrate two days in a row. It's just that I am not an American and they are fully aware of it when saying that 🤔🤔🤔🤔
The og national anthem was a song called hail columbia that was talking about the sacrafices revolution and continuing and promoting the ideas of the revolution.
Back when I was a kid I thought it was ironic that both the USA and Russia celebrate wars of independence fought with major European states in 1812 (The war of independence from Britain, and Napoleon's abortive invasion of Russia by the French) Well, the world got 2 great tunes out of it. The Star Spangled Banner and the 1812 Overture.
LOL i’m glad it didn’t end up being July 2nd because that’s my birthday! I like both my birthday and July 4th but I don’t want my birthday overshadowed
WHAT?? They left out the bit where every firework you've ever seen (for generations) comes from CHINA. Come to think of it, most of the US flags do, too.
I thought it was VERY convenient for this ALL to happen during the summer time. I'd hate to imagine this happening in the winter time. How many people would want to be standing outside during a blizzard or an arctic sub zero weather to watch a firework display... 🤔
Hello roger, and thank you for another entertaining video. 4th of July had just become another advertising and selling holiday, like christmas, easter, and mother's day, and especially Valentine's day. It's just a way to sell your extra flags from Memorial day, and to sell exposable things like fireworks, beer, and whatever else. It's also a free holiday from potential work, so I go out and watch fireworks from a distance without paying, as a cheapskate. And to be honest I love the explosions of colors, at the expense of the taxpayers money for buying fireworks.😂
Last night I was lying in bed and hearing constant blasts and explosions thinking to myself back during the war they would've been hearing the exact same thing Edit: I live in Kentucky
This is something I will never understand. After the horrors of war and desperate fighting why more of the terrible sounds of war? The firing of cannons and rifles at celebrations and, worse yet, at funerals, especially those of war veterans. What is wrong with people?! My neighbor has PTSD and struggles with life, bit the rest of our neighbors don't give a s**t. I've tried to talk to them, but they think nothing of it. We have a whole lot of people in the US who are selfish dimwits and who respond to their lowest instincts, especially men. They do it to themselves it would seem. I have always deeply hated fireworks; they never, ever made any sense to me.
If you live in: Camden, NJ East St Louis, IL Gary, IN Newark, NJ Jackson, MS North Philly, PA Detroit, MI Flint, MI Benton Harbor, MI New Orleans, LA Memphis, TN Baltimore, MD Ferguson, MO Oakland, CA Mobile, AL East Cleveland, OH Bed stuy, NYC Or Atlanta, GA then you still do

And... only THEN because Ripley's Believe It Or Not newspaper column revealed that we HAD NO national anthem at the time.

Don't forget a day to promote your business and show off the classic car.
What’s ironic about the national anthem is that it’s not even describing americas independence war. It’s the war of 1812.
It's describing a bet that could be considered a video game idea. The British navy fleet vs an American flag. If the flag doesn't fall, the prisoners are released. It also describes air burst munitions meant to blow up in the air in order to disperse shrapnel over a wider area and into trenches. Those air burst munitions became more and more common in future wars yet don't show up in war movies.
The actual poem is about a 10 minute read. Even those people preferred shorter songs.

The War of 1812 AKA the first massive defeat the U.S. experienced when Canadians burned the White House to the ground!! Canada! CANADA!! CA-NA-DA!!!
We’re probably gonna have a rematch assuming we get our shit together here. So I wouldn’t be so cocky.
I'm glad that most of the cities in my state (Oklahoma) have banned personal firecrackers within the city limits (they still sell them at special seasonal stands just outside the city limits). I hate how obnoxiously loud they are and haven't played with such things myself in decades. They still have the big, beautiful fireworks, but I've seen enough of those by now that I no longer care (I used to work at the Magic Kingdom where they had those kinds of fireworks literally every night).
One day I want to see the honest version of the writing constitution. A group of rich guys trying to deliver the least amount of what Thomas Paine wrote about rights and freedoms in his pamphlets that lead to the recruitment of enough soldiers to actually win the revolutionary war.
Our constitution is a watered down version of Thomas Paine, diluted just enough that the aristocracy would approve.
roger simultaneously capitalizes on idiocracy while simultaneously educating enough against it - because he appreciates history to do something with it - than what any of us ever will! It's his staunch meticulousness towards appreciating, cultivating, crafting, and honing in the best of it (sometimes applying it in the worst way) that makes roger the #1 financial success to date!! And now we know his secrets - if only any of us can follow through on that act - to that level! See we all can learn history, we all can make something of it - no one is special, but what makes roger special is his utmost of dedication (that is greater than the entirety of all americans combined - times 1 million lol) - and that's able to support the entirety of the US - by 1 person. Amazing!!!
Hey we're back into a monarch now! Full president immunity
Presidents have always had immunity for official actions taken in their capacity as president. This is why you don’t see presidents prosecuted for inaccurate drone strikes that kill civilians for example.
The president does not have immunity in their capacity as a private citizen, for example as a candidate for re-election.
All the court did was reaffirm this, as well as define the cases that might fall in the middle, which they labeled “presumed but not absolute immunity”.
Love that Jefferson bleep.
Somebody put something in my drink - The Ramones
Every 4th of July, I drink a hearty toast to the real Freedom Fighters: King George III and King Louis XVI. The time when America was taxed the least was under King George III. God Save the King!
It's always good to remind Brit show they got their asses kicked by the French & the Americans, the 2 greatest nations on the planet which GB was always dreamin of!
@@devangoutdoors Actually, we're not so great as we're led to believe. The US and France (and the UK) are all based on Mendacity. Nothing in the Declaration of Independence is true, except maybe the date. The US is "rich," but....they're also described as being a third world country wearing a Gucci belt.
And graciousness is not one of America's virtues (as if it has any). The man MOST responsible for American Independence has no monument to him anywhere in Washington, D.C. He does have a city in Kentucky named for him. That man is King Louis XVI.
Vive Le Roi!
@@Mikethemerciless11based on your comment, either you've never been out of the US or an European sympathizer.
America has always been a great nation. The 3rd world country title is either given by other 3rd world nations which are jealous of us or because of rampant immigration from those nations in past 3 decades.
Even France doesn't recognize the greatness of one of their greatest Kings, King Louis XI. They do have a history of flipping good & bad.
@devangoutdoors Bullshit.
For one, you are very presumptive, and are trying to shut me up. I served in the US Army, and have been all around the world. Trust me. America is a scam. It is not, and has never been, a nation. It's really a bordello.
France does recognize it made a grave error. They don't masturbate to bullshit the way Americans do to avoid hard truths and make themselves feel good.
There are no such things as Democracies or Republics.
When you're $40 trillion in debt, you are a third world country that masturbates to its own stupidity. The land of the scam, home of the conman!
@devangoutdoors Louis XVI got his head cut off for being King Louis XVI, not exactly a great thing to be
And kids born in July rarely ever have to worry about having class on their birthdays.
We were "British subjects " why not s.t.e.a.l. (strategically transfer to alternate location) a tune for our national anthem?
We weren't British subjects when the song was written in 1815
you know - I was going to ask for a holiday ad - but you thought ahead of me for me - thank goodness!
Old drinking song?
Considering the history of this place, it does make *a lot* more sense when you factor in regular binge drinking.
We need a new anthem! America The Beautiful was actually written by an AMERICAN woman. And you don't have to be a professional to sing it!
FWIW, the A-Team theme song would make for a much better national anthem. That would surely liven up the Olympics 😅
I think a great sequel to this one is 'if music was honest' - talking about digital music in particular. But if you focus on guitars - especially how the electric guitar came about (like what the synopsis I wrote alludes to - but you can add some spongebob to it - of course!! lol) - that would be really something.
You guys were having a riot with your acting, such fun to watch the thing between adams and jefferson!! XD
Sophisticated hobo-fire lol.
I was born on the 5th, and most American always tell me - oh you're so lucky, so you celebrate two days in a row. It's just that I am not an American and they are fully aware of it when saying that 🤔🤔🤔🤔
The og national anthem was a song called hail columbia that was talking about the sacrafices revolution and continuing and promoting the ideas of the revolution.
Back when I was a kid I thought it was ironic that both the USA and Russia celebrate wars of independence fought with major European states in 1812 (The war of independence from Britain, and Napoleon's abortive invasion of Russia by the French)
Well, the world got 2 great tunes out of it. The Star Spangled Banner and the 1812 Overture.
Most of the action in the War of 1812 actually took place in 1814. America was not as adept at naming things before the movie industry came along.
Just wait until Zach Snyder makes a movie based on the concept, @@davidlundquist1979
M'aiq lets his relatives provide the fireworks, this one just eats their food and keeps his digits. 😸
M'aiq knows much. Tells some. M'aiq steals land and fireworks when others cannot.
It's only non-lethal if you do it wrong
Still Roger for President.
LOL i’m glad it didn’t end up being July 2nd because that’s my birthday! I like both my birthday and July 4th but I don’t want my birthday overshadowed
"You only need two fingers to salute the flag, soldier!!"
😂😂
There's also that whole genocide thing they did as soon as they were independent... which they fought for independence to do. Yes, really.
WHAT?? They left out the bit where every firework you've ever seen (for generations) comes from CHINA. Come to think of it, most of the US flags do, too.
I'll never buy made in China flags.
During July the 4th. I contributed and purchased prime Ribs for my family. But usually I don't purchase fireworks.
I thought it was VERY convenient for this ALL to happen during the summer time. I'd hate to imagine this happening in the winter time. How many people would want to be standing outside during a blizzard or an arctic sub zero weather to watch a firework display... 🤔
As if New Year's Day isn't balmy in the Northern Hemisphere.
I have a guy that keeps his "lethal" Patriot gunpowder missiles in the trunk of his car. He's a really good dude.
We definitely didn’t sign it on the 2nd. That’s the day Congress approved independence. The 4th was the day they approved the Declaration.
Happy 4th of July everybody.
I want to thank all of the Americans for celebrating my birthday😊
"You could lose a finger...and odds are you just *might*"
Well, they don't call these Honest Ads for nothing!
Hello roger, and thank you for another entertaining video.
4th of July had just become another advertising and selling holiday, like christmas, easter, and mother's day, and especially Valentine's day.
It's just a way to sell your extra flags from Memorial day, and to sell exposable things like fireworks, beer, and whatever else.
It's also a free holiday from potential work, so I go out and watch fireworks from a distance without paying, as a cheapskate.
And to be honest I love the explosions of colors, at the expense of the taxpayers money for buying fireworks.😂
And hey, what's more American than rampant consumerism?
People spending $$ they dont have on fireworks! MURIKA!
1812? Isn't that when the US invaded Canada and got kicked in the ass for trying?
The national anthem
A bar song that says "Yeah you hit us and we're still standing"
What could be more American?
Thanks!
I just saw 5 seconds of actors putting ketchup on a porterhouse and getting a tattoo of a ketchup brand. yay, america. :-|
Don’t forget Hollywood Summer Blockbusters!
Last night I was lying in bed and hearing constant blasts and explosions thinking to myself back during the war they would've been
hearing the exact same thing
Edit: I live in Kentucky
In some parts of the world, they still do.
You live in southside Chicago?
This is something I will never understand. After the horrors of war and desperate fighting why more of the terrible sounds of war? The firing of cannons and rifles at celebrations and, worse yet, at funerals, especially those of war veterans. What is wrong with people?! My neighbor has PTSD and struggles with life, bit the rest of our neighbors don't give a s**t. I've tried to talk to them, but they think nothing of it. We have a whole lot of people in the US who are selfish dimwits and who respond to their lowest instincts, especially men. They do it to themselves it would seem. I have always deeply hated fireworks; they never, ever made any sense to me.
If you live in:
Camden, NJ
East St Louis, IL
Gary, IN
Newark, NJ
Jackson, MS
North Philly, PA
Detroit, MI
Flint, MI
Benton Harbor, MI
New Orleans, LA
Memphis, TN
Baltimore, MD
Ferguson, MO
Oakland, CA
Mobile, AL
East Cleveland, OH
Bed stuy, NYC
Or Atlanta, GA then you still do
Add Bronx, NY to that
This is blasphemy!
I love it.
