I do like the concept of diabolical contracts, however, I don't like the idea of just giving up your soul outright for something material. No one would ever make such a deal. I like the versions when devils ask for the performing of seemingly innocent acts which end up destroying the lives of many people. You don't become damned right away, but you are lead down a path of evil which eventually results in damnation.
I think people would be incredibly willing to sell their soul for something material. People already sell things just as abstract all the time. Do you know how much of your life you've probably given up to work just to survive? Let alone to gain material luxuries? I think humans have a hard time conceptualizing most things beyond the material world. It's why we often described heaven and hell in terms of things that we've seen (humans with wings, eyes, fire, etc).
Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the greatest and most famous composers of church music, used it in an aria from the cantata no. 54, as a harmonically descriptive device.

The way Bach set this to music was by ending the phrase (in 2 separate instances) on tritones - and it sounds really cool. Bach was a freaking genius.

Instead of selling my soul, I had a dream that me and a vertically-challenged demon just talked for awhile about making important life decisions based on rough probability. He said that no outcome is ever 100% guaranteed, but never making important decisions, never taking risks, will always leave you with the regret of not knowing. You’re alive, but you’re not living. Sometimes, as long as the probability of success is relatively high, you still need to take that leap of faith. Even if things don’t work out the way you hoped, you at least took control of your own life.
When I was in elementary school I found a book on demons and how to traditionally summon a demon to become a witch, create a contract etc. My initial thought was, this shouldn't be in a school library I would think? But it was a very interesting book.
@@zackjohnson6456 Certainly true after all. The soul isn't just a thing in your pocket its you. Nothing material in any amount can equal that value. It is always a bad deal.
About Paganini the most common version is that it was his mother that made a pact wit the Devil before his birth. Those rumors where spread even before his death and he hated them.
@@Hydrosized nope. Especially at these times where everything is coming to an end and materialism will no longer exist it’s the dumbest thing to do. U can be rich and famous without selling your soul instead just believing and loving Jesus and god. And I’m not trying to tell u what to do I’m explaining because I used to think like u. But just think, a religion/a demon who says there is no right and wrong and that u can do whatever you want rather it is r4ping, killing or whatever I think I don’t have to tell u how wrong that is. God always said if u believe and trust him you will get everything that you wanted and even more. I don’t have a religion I have god and Jesus. All these religions in my eyes are fake and manipulated.
Don’t let this comedic video fool you, demons are real, and you can’t sell your soul but you can sell yourself so much so that you don’t care to stay on the wrong path. “Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4
The initial villains of a show called Kamen Rider Build are called Faust, and their founder, Takumi Kutsuragi, is literally nicknamed the devils scientist, due to the lengths he’d go for science, with him stating he would sell his soul to the devil if it meant science could progress
“Had Faustus accepted the feeble limits of human knowledge he may have been happier in the long run.” *I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing at the wind. For in much wisdom, is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow.*
Here in Argentina we have a version of the Faust story. It is a comic poem and the basic idea is that a gaucho tells another about when he goes to Buenos Aires and sees the opera Faust by Charles Gounod (based on Goethe's work) in the old Colón theater. The author is Estanislao del Campo, who attended the premiere of the opera and was convinced by the poet Ricardo Gutiérrez to write the poem.
I can't remember the story, but one time at my Christian high school in literature class we read something about a guy making a deal with a demon. I remember the demon was like "hey so I give you want you want, and you go to hell for all eternity. No I'm serious. You go to HELL. It's not gonna be fun. Are you certain you wanna do this?" and the guy is like yeah sure. Years go by, the demon shows up like "hey I did my end you do yours buddy" and overall the story seemed less "don't trust demons" and more "don't make promises you aren't willing to keep". But I mean yeah maybe don't make contracts with devils. Unless it'd be funny.
The most interesting thing to me has always been the level of esteem that the Father of Lies has for contract law. So that if you can somehow extract yourself from the contract on a technicality we are to believe that there is no additional contest; the contract is immediately broken, the devil just shrugs it off and moves on.
Modern examples of soul selling allegations would be Lady Gaga , Beyonce , Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. Usually the popular female pop artist of early 2010's. I wonder why the 'Illuminati' phase of pop culture died down. I enjoyed it so much , it was too iconic.
Hochelaga is out here teaching us things we should have been taught in school. Like how to file taxes, open up a checking account, or sell your soul to the devil, you know, real-world applications for everyday life.
Managers are, historically, likely to work for the Devil anyway. Maybe get a few REALLY trustworthy friends who understand finance and contract law to look over it instead...
You’re soul is invaluable, if what we humans feel and think is correct then selling our souls would be akin to eternal slavery or death. If the soul is what’s desired then think about how essential it is.
great video, except for the tritone was never banned in church music! it was just hard for choirs to sing and is fairly dissonant. Adam Neely has a great video about this musical myth
There is a colorful character in Swedish folk lore called Näcken or The Naked. He lives in a small rivers and is said to look like a naked man playing a violin, flute or sometimes a mouth harp. In most stories he uses his music to lure children into the river to drown them, but in others he tempts musicians by promising to teach them his songs. He will teach you 7 songs, the first 6 supernatural in beauty, but the seventh must never be played. Naturally the seventh is always played and when the musician has begun he cannot stop. Likewise the dancers cannot either, the whole party dancing till their flesh and bones are ground to dust and nothing but skulls bounce around the doomed musician. The only way to save the dancers us to kill the player, he is the source and his soul will forever be held by Näcken.
Bingo ! I thought I was the only one who think like this. People get scared of ghosts and I'm like ,well that's proof that human being have souls and when we die our souls separate from our bodies. By that logic if humans souls are a real (ghosts) that means God is real also. As they is no practical reason why souls exist except to help "transport" people to heaven or hell when they die. And heaven & hell are places created by God. Thus God exist, not in theory but actual reality. But this is an uncomfortable truth for some people to acknowledge ☹️ P.s I had an experience when I was a child. This experience was with something that was dark and evil. That experience changed the way I see religion. Because if what I experienced as a child really happened then without a shadow of doubt God exist. Because demons if God doesn't exist, the say way hot water can't exist without cold water existing.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 I think there are 3 "places" that exist where souls go to. Heaven, hell & earth. The souls on earth are the ones we call "ghosts". Those are the souls that refuse to move on from Earth for different reasons. Reasons such as; - they don't believe they are dead - they don't want to leave their loved ones. Hence why family members are the ones who most likely to experience hauntings - they don't want be dead. They know they are dead but they feel that their death was too early. So they spend their time on earth haunting people to mess with them. Because they are upset that they died too soon. These are were all the scary haunting stories we hear about in paranormal reality tv and movies like the Conjuring. Here is the plot twist.... In addition to earth, heaven and hell they are other alternative universes that exist. With other "beings" who are not human. These "beings sometimes visit our earth (e.g UFOs) and some "beings" choose to stay ( e.g bigfoot). And some "beings" were on earth before we were created by God (e.g dinosaurs).
Paganini actually seems to have been a pretty good guy, and at the very least he was a great father. During his concert tours, he always brought his son Achille with him, and I read when Achille became extremely ill, Niccolo spent weeks at his bedside uninterrupted while he recovered, possibly at the expense of his career (I forget where I found that information though). Also, he was pretty supportive of other composers, like Hector Berlioz and Gioachino Rossini. And if you listen to Paganini's own compositions, a lot of his music is quite sweet and pure in character. Far from demonic, I would say.

When I met my wife at the time, she told me she sold her soul for good parking. Everywhere we went, every time, the best parking spot was always available. It was creepy.
Cool and all but I would consider that a bad deal tbh 😂😂😂 I would first make a contract that makes the devil’s side of it be impossible to accomplish, like asking for conditional immorality (only I could end my own life at will) and the power of mind control
In addition to taking your soul, the Devil can grant your wishes in the "asshole genie" kind of way. So that you won't have a good time, but the wish is technically fulfilled.
The only way to mitigate that problem is to be very specific on the wish you give (more so than high-level legal and academic jargon is used in their fields)
In Indonesia, you can make a pact with spiritual entity for wealth or curse on your enemy. It is usually carried out with the help of shaman (called "dukun") and usually the price is sacrifices (your child or stranger) or certain items. But at the end, the spiritual entity will take your soul as slave.

I've heard a tale about the Frauenkirche in München. Apparently, the builder was running out of money and asked a demon for help to build it. The demon's condition was that the church couldn't have any windows. Once the church had been built, the demon came to check if the builder had upheld his side of the bargain and walked in. From the position he was standing, it seemed that the builder had done exactly as he'd asked, but when the demon stepped further into the church, he noticed that the columns had just been obscuring the windows and he stamped his foot in rage, before turning into a strong wind and trying to blow the church down, which didn't work. And now if you visit the church, you can see the black foot-shaped dent in the floor where the demon had stomped, and the area around the church remains very windy to this day. There are some variations in the details, but this version is my favourite. If you're interested: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frauenkirche,_Munich#Teufelstritt,_or_Devil's_Footstep_and_perpetual_wind
In Poland, it's the story of Master Twardowski that made deal with the devil. He promised his soul to the dark lord when he will be in Rome. To Twardowski's bad luck, it comes out that one tavern he stopped in on his voyages across Poland was called Rome. It ends with Twardowski outwitting the demon in some way as they fly to hell, so he drops him on the moon.
Imagine if Hochelaga was the devil, and made this video to inform everyone on what you’re basically getting into, if you’re going to sign your soul away.
Thanks for the tips. Was going to go to Satan's house for a dry cleaner he posted on Craigslist for $15, but I knew that was clearly too good of a deal. Now I know I made the right move and won't be hexed or whatnot. Walmart's probably going to have them on sale soon anyways. :)
The tritone was incredibly hard to sing properly because people would naturally end up singing a perfect fifth or fourth if they weren't careful. This annoyed everyone so much that it was dubbed "diabolos in musica" and was never used because everyone would rather not deal with it

Just a heads up, diabolical in musica is actually a myth that started with the rise of death metal. It was generally avoided in sacred music because it was generally harder to sing. For those who are interested, the music theory TH-camr Adam Neely does a full deep dive video on it that is very comprehensive
Thank you. Always hungry for such content. You're great!
(Edit) awesome I was already subbed to that channel. Now to find the video you mentioned.
Oh BT dubbs...
If you like music theory heavy experimental work, maybe you've heard of Jacob Collier. If you haven't then I'm excited for you.

I tried selling my soul to the Devil. He laughed at me and told me I'm a nobody and my Soul is worthless to him. :(
He just did this to me! On here! At least, he SAID he was Lucifer...
.... also, given the context - is your name a cruel irony RN? Sorry, man 😕

If only that was the case then we wouldnt have to worry

Instead of selling my soul, I had a dream that me and a vertically-challenged demon just talked for awhile about making important life decisions based on rough probability. He said that no outcome is ever 100% guaranteed, but never making important decisions, never taking risks, will always leave you with the regret of not knowing. You’re alive, but you’re not living. Sometimes, as long as the probability of success is relatively high, you still need to take that leap of faith. Even if things don’t work out the way you hoped, you at least took control of your own life.
Wholesome demon! I imagine you both sitting on a pier, swinging your legs off the edge of the dock.
I like how he's not short just vertically challenged lol
Fuck, that's a cool dream. Would make for a great writing prompt. And honestly that demon sounds pretty legit.
So soul eater? The little demon from soul eater is what u saw
Vertically-challenged is crazy☠️
When I was in elementary school I found a book on demons and how to traditionally summon a demon to become a witch, create a contract etc. My initial thought was, this shouldn't be in a school library I would think? But it was a very interesting book.
Do you remember the name of the book?
name of the book?
@@LordKirmada he’s lying their is no book
It seems like a lot of people really want that $$$$$$$$ and fame. Believe me it in the long run you lose!
@@zackjohnson6456 Certainly true after all. The soul isn't just a thing in your pocket its you. Nothing material in any amount can equal that value. It is always a bad deal.
About Paganini the most common version is that it was his mother that made a pact wit the Devil before his birth. Those rumors where spread even before his death and he hated them.
You mean "cons and more cons" 😆
Or pros and pros
Pros and meh
@@Hydrosized nope. Especially at these times where everything is coming to an end and materialism will no longer exist it’s the dumbest thing to do. U can be rich and famous without selling your soul instead just believing and loving Jesus and god.
And I’m not trying to tell u what to do I’m explaining because I used to think like u. But just think, a religion/a demon who says there is no right and wrong and that u can do whatever you want rather it is r4ping, killing or whatever I think I don’t have to tell u how wrong that is. God always said if u believe and trust him you will get everything that you wanted and even more. I don’t have a religion I have god and Jesus. All these religions in my eyes are fake and manipulated.
Yep😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Please do not sell your soul. You were born innocent and your task is to win back your heart.
I think selling your soul is just a metaphor for ultimate dedication
Don’t let this comedic video fool you, demons are real, and you can’t sell your soul but you can sell yourself so much so that you don’t care to stay on the wrong path.
“Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4
The initial villains of a show called Kamen Rider Build are called Faust, and their founder, Takumi Kutsuragi, is literally nicknamed the devils scientist, due to the lengths he’d go for science, with him stating he would sell his soul to the devil if it meant science could progress
Never heard of him but I noticed you have my favourite rider as your pfp, nice
be the one!
The tritone was never actually banned in church music. They were considered "the devil in music" because they were hard to make sound good.
The amount of times I felt like a skillshare sponsorship was going to appear was unreal
The story is an allegory for taking shortcuts to getting what you want, i.e. committing crimes instead of work hard etc.
“Had Faustus accepted the feeble limits of human knowledge he may have been happier in the long run.”
*I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing at the wind. For in much wisdom, is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow.*
Here in Argentina we have a version of the Faust story. It is a comic poem and the basic idea is that a gaucho tells another about when he goes to Buenos Aires and sees the opera Faust by Charles Gounod (based on Goethe's work) in the old Colón theater. The author is Estanislao del Campo, who attended the premiere of the opera and was convinced by the poet Ricardo Gutiérrez to write the poem.
Oh we have gauchos in Brazil too
I can't remember the story, but one time at my Christian high school in literature class we read something about a guy making a deal with a demon. I remember the demon was like "hey so I give you want you want, and you go to hell for all eternity. No I'm serious. You go to HELL. It's not gonna be fun. Are you certain you wanna do this?" and the guy is like yeah sure. Years go by, the demon shows up like "hey I did my end you do yours buddy" and overall the story seemed less "don't trust demons" and more "don't make promises you aren't willing to keep".
But I mean yeah maybe don't make contracts with devils. Unless it'd be funny.
There's at least one Irish folk story dealing with this subject.
Basically, he gets outsmarted and tormented so often HE backs out of the deal LOL
This video really couldn't have come at a better time. I will be able to negotiate a better contract now. Thank you.
I was thinking of selling my soul, but the contract was too much reading and I zoned out, so I got bored and never did
Thinking Same Let's Meet When We Joined The Organization
The warning right at the start was genius, I love the dark irony and humor in it. And the way he says it is perfect haha
The most interesting thing to me has always been the level of esteem that the Father of Lies has for contract law. So that if you can somehow extract yourself from the contract on a technicality we are to believe that there is no additional contest; the contract is immediately broken, the devil just shrugs it off and moves on.
Could you please let some Earthly lawyers know about this? He makes some of them look like what they are...
exactly.
The father of respect 😤👌
That is if you can
Or you can just call Saul
Modern examples of soul selling allegations would be Lady Gaga , Beyonce , Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. Usually the popular female pop artist of early 2010's. I wonder why the 'Illuminati' phase of pop culture died down. I enjoyed it so much , it was too iconic.
Hochelaga is out here teaching us things we should have been taught in school. Like how to file taxes, open up a checking account, or sell your soul to the devil, you know, real-world applications for everyday life.
"A life in servitude to the dark lord" Sounds a lot like marriage
This is by far one of my favourite pieces of comedy I’ve seen in a while, amazing work man! 😂😂
I love how much of a mystery comes with "I know which one *I* prefer..." 🤔
NOOOOOO DON’T PERPETUATE THE MYTH THAT THE TRITONE WAS FORBIDDEN! people just didn’t play it cuz they didn’t think it sounded good
hochelaga must've done so for his narration skills. Every video is always lit 🔥
Thank you, I was planning on signing on to "Definitely not Satan" Records for an album deal, but now I think i'll have my manager take a 2nd look.
Managers are, historically, likely to work for the Devil anyway.
Maybe get a few REALLY trustworthy friends who understand finance and contract law to look over it instead...
Love the sense of humor here. Informative and funny. Thanks again Hochelaga!
Hochelaga: becomes a freemason
Hochelaga few months later: this
You’re soul is invaluable, if what we humans feel and think is correct then selling our souls would be akin to eternal slavery or death. If the soul is what’s desired then think about how essential it is.
great video, except for the tritone was never banned in church music! it was just hard for choirs to sing and is fairly dissonant. Adam Neely has a great video about this musical myth
came here to leave that comment... now I'm purposeless, so here, have my like and and hopefully be read by Hochelaga lol.
Must start reading comments in chronological order lol
There is a colorful character in Swedish folk lore called Näcken or The Naked. He lives in a small rivers and is said to look like a naked man playing a violin, flute or sometimes a mouth harp.
In most stories he uses his music to lure children into the river to drown them, but in others he tempts musicians by promising to teach them his songs. He will teach you 7 songs, the first 6 supernatural in beauty, but the seventh must never be played.
Naturally the seventh is always played and when the musician has begun he cannot stop. Likewise the dancers cannot either, the whole party dancing till their flesh and bones are ground to dust and nothing but skulls bounce around the doomed musician.
The only way to save the dancers us to kill the player, he is the source and his soul will forever be held by Näcken.
So the pied piper as he is known here in America
Cons: Eternal damnation
Pros: Superpowers, flaming skull head, flaming motorcycle, flaming hell chain
Personally I’m like: What’s this? Devil approaching, with proof of an actual afterlife?!! See you in heaven 😂😂
Does the proof of possible eternal torment actually also prove the opposite, though?
Yes. I am NOT fun at parties.
Bingo !
I thought I was the only one who think like this. People get scared of ghosts and I'm like ,well that's proof that human being have souls and when we die our souls separate from our bodies. By that logic if humans souls are a real (ghosts) that means God is real also. As they is no practical reason why souls exist except to help "transport" people to heaven or hell when they die. And heaven & hell are places created by God. Thus God exist, not in theory but actual reality. But this is an uncomfortable truth for some people to acknowledge ☹️
P.s I had an experience when I was a child. This experience was with something that was dark and evil. That experience changed the way I see religion. Because if what I experienced as a child really happened then without a shadow of doubt God exist. Because demons if God doesn't exist, the say way hot water can't exist without cold water existing.
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 I think there are 3 "places" that exist where souls go to. Heaven, hell & earth. The souls on earth are the ones we call "ghosts". Those are the souls that refuse to move on from Earth for different reasons. Reasons such as;
- they don't believe they are dead
- they don't want to leave their loved ones. Hence why family members are the ones who most likely to experience hauntings
- they don't want be dead. They know they are dead but they feel that their death was too early. So they spend their time on earth haunting people to mess with them. Because they are upset that they died too soon. These are were all the scary haunting stories we hear about in paranormal reality tv and movies like the Conjuring.
Here is the plot twist....
In addition to earth, heaven and hell they are other alternative universes that exist. With other "beings" who are not human. These "beings sometimes visit our earth (e.g UFOs) and some "beings" choose to stay ( e.g bigfoot). And some "beings" were on earth before we were created by God (e.g dinosaurs).
Paganini actually seems to have been a pretty good guy, and at the very least he was a great father. During his concert tours, he always brought his son Achille with him, and I read when Achille became extremely ill, Niccolo spent weeks at his bedside uninterrupted while he recovered, possibly at the expense of his career (I forget where I found that information though). Also, he was pretty supportive of other composers, like Hector Berlioz and Gioachino Rossini. And if you listen to Paganini's own compositions, a lot of his music is quite sweet and pure in character. Far from demonic, I would say.
and yet people still rave on about Byron, as if he was some kind of romantic hero. You know. He sounded naughty, but he was basically an amazing dude? Just misunderstood.
He wasn't. Any of that.
JUSTICE FOR PAGANINI
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 What was Byron's deal? I don't know much about him, although I hear he was a celebrity in the art world in the early 19th century.
virtuosism breeds a lot of jealosy
@@j.2512 I love that in Snooker, nobody ever seems to begrudge Ronnie O'Sullivan his undeniable virtuoso status and they can't help but like him, as well. He was criticised as lot in his younger years, for "disrespecting the game" when he started playing left-handed as well as right handed, but that's 30 years ago, and by now ...I've often thought how strange a place it must feel, to be the absolute best in your field, in the whole world.
@@BazukinBelyugovich Lord Byron was a poet and writer, but he was famous for his scandals and for being overall a bit of a jerk. Like visiting a place and getting offended because he wasn't treated as well as he thought it was due to his status, or not caring for his child who died of sickness.
This video is soooo amazing! For one, as a video purely made for entertainment, it does that task very well and made me watch till the end. On the other hand, if ever one does encounter this situation, this video is actually a great guide for that.
When I met my wife at the time, she told me she sold her soul for good parking. Everywhere we went, every time, the best parking spot was always available. It was creepy.
Cool and all but I would consider that a bad deal tbh 😂😂😂
I would first make a contract that makes the devil’s side of it be impossible to accomplish, like asking for conditional immorality (only I could end my own life at will) and the power of mind control
Musicians didn't sigh a pact with Satan, the answer is simple: Haters gonna hate, no matter the time period
In addition to taking your soul, the Devil can grant your wishes in the "asshole genie" kind of way. So that you won't have a good time, but the wish is technically fulfilled.
The only way to mitigate that problem is to be very specific on the wish you give (more so than high-level legal and academic jargon is used in their fields)
"I wish for a billion dollars"
*$1,000,000,000 spawns in nickels*
People think they can outsmart the devil, this is a story as old as time.
Bill and Ted did it.
He just outsmarted himself. Only two pure-hearted dummies like they are could do it.
also, they melvined him
The biggest trick the devil played is convincing people that he doesn’t exist
Hochelaga, your podcast, The Interruption, was awesome! Very well done. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for making this video available again.
Why did he stop making videos,I adore his voice.
In Indonesia, you can make a pact with spiritual entity for wealth or curse on your enemy. It is usually carried out with the help of shaman (called "dukun") and usually the price is sacrifices (your child or stranger) or certain items. But at the end, the spiritual entity will take your soul as slave.
Man I just LOVE your videos. I learn so many different things.
The tritone wasn't banned in church music, it's a common misconception
I imagine the paperwork for breaking a deal with the devil is just a DMV in hell and you have to wait in an ungodly long line just to get told you’re missing forms that don’t exist and you have to go to the back of the line for all eternity😳
I think the devil is too busy for this.I prefer to make the deal with God
The tritone wasn't banned that's a pop culture myth, it's just that it makes for very unstable chords that make composition much harder and people didn't really like it.
If Doom is anything to go by, then indeed, Hell seems to have some pretty good music.
Appreicate the work put into all the art you find for these videos.
Doom is a special thing compared to nothing but screams and silence.
One of my friends has spent the last decade trying to sell his soul in exchange for mastery of The Blues.
No luck finding a demon, but he has gotten pretty good.
lmao
Tell him to do what Robert Johnson actually did: seek out a good bluesman and learn from him.
For real?
I always wondered how your channel got so big so fast! Now I know! 😃
Another great video H (informative -funny - creepy ) leaving a comment as requested 😉
I've heard a tale about the Frauenkirche in München.
Apparently, the builder was running out of money and asked a demon for help to build it. The demon's condition was that the church couldn't have any windows. Once the church had been built, the demon came to check if the builder had upheld his side of the bargain and walked in. From the position he was standing, it seemed that the builder had done exactly as he'd asked, but when the demon stepped further into the church, he noticed that the columns had just been obscuring the windows and he stamped his foot in rage, before turning into a strong wind and trying to blow the church down, which didn't work. And now if you visit the church, you can see the black foot-shaped dent in the floor where the demon had stomped, and the area around the church remains very windy to this day.
There are some variations in the details, but this version is my favourite.
If you're interested:

In Poland, it's the story of Master Twardowski that made deal with the devil. He promised his soul to the dark lord when he will be in Rome. To Twardowski's bad luck, it comes out that one tavern he stopped in on his voyages across Poland was called Rome. It ends with Twardowski outwitting the demon in some way as they fly to hell, so he drops him on the moon.
Satan is a Mary Kay girlboss but you'll never get the pink car

Signing a contract with the devil is a bad call. He’s got all the lawyers.
Your videos are the best!! Always excited to see a new one come out
I'm proud of the fact that a lot of the visuals shown in this channel are familiar because they're topics he discussed before.
Ken Russell's "The Devils" tells the story of Urbain Grandier and the Loudan possessions. Its one of my fave films of all time!
It’s art. It’s amazing.
Haters will be hating. The Devil is nothing but an excuse for people to be shitty.
Love your stuff,always suuuper interesting… keep it up man!
Imagine if Hochelaga was the devil, and made this video to inform everyone on what you’re basically getting into, if you’re going to sign your soul away.
Casually mentioning some of the information in the video, I have to agree.
Yes, so if he comes to get your soul and you say: "No I didnt know that!" he can say: "Well havent you seen my pros and cons video?". :P
Bedazzled with Brendan Fraser and Liz Hurley does this idea perfectly
As a german, the paperwork part is the best pro I could imagine.
"Have you ever wanted more outta life..."... sponsor ad
Can't believe he didn't do it
Thanks for the tips. Was going to go to Satan's house for a dry cleaner he posted on Craigslist for $15, but I knew that was clearly too good of a deal. Now I know I made the right move and won't be hexed or whatnot. Walmart's probably going to have them on sale soon anyways. :)
The tritone was incredibly hard to sing properly because people would naturally end up singing a perfect fifth or fourth if they weren't careful. This annoyed everyone so much that it was dubbed "diabolos in musica" and was never used because everyone would rather not deal with it
The Interuption is amazing!
this vid came back to life!
13:49 Wow .I didn’t bargain to the Devil but the Cons is happening to me every day at work..
I used to always joke about making a deal with the Devil just to get my dream job. Now I've been living the dream and just recently got my regularization at work (Not the best benefits but the work is great and rewarding so it's okay). Don't know from out of all the contracts I signed which was from the Devil's but life seems to be working out so far.
Maybe you didn't make a deal with the devil
@@affinityxs yeah. Maybe I just got lucky 🤷♂️
Say hi to big red for me💀
The tritone myth is just that. A myth. The music from that time, used in churches, is filled with that intervals use
Churches were infiltrated. Of course they have them.
As someone who has been on this earth for 55 years I know life is fleeting. An eternity in hell would be unimaginable. NO THANK YOU.
to this day I still have no idea how all these artists keep finding the devil to make deals with devil in the first place
Yes, "The Devils" by Ken Russell is an absolutely brilliant film. Glad you mentioned Grandier. Oliver Reed was so incredible in it
You need a very good lawyer before signing any contracts 😂
According to reputation, Old Nick is actually one of the more principled ones! Letter of the law...
The tritone was also heavily made use of in musical notes in the depiction of hell seen in the _The Garden Of Earthly Delights_ painting.
Bro I was about to sell my soul until you made me realise I had to do paperwork thank you for this video
Thank you for that warning! I was about to sell my soul right before i saw that
