Most Presidents were fine looking Gentleman

Interesting how so many of them were lawyers
"Hey teddy what did you do before becoming president?"
"Oh you know, stuff."
:) thanks for watching!
And then he also comes in as the youngest president. Guy was a machine.
“im stuff”
Forgot actor in night at the museum.
Teddy almost ended the 2 party rule by running on 3rd party ticket for president. Progressive party in 1912.
Life: How many jobs you wanna do?
Roosevelt: *YES*

@Samuel Vlogs and reacts Franklin Roosevelt.
I think they’re talking about Theodore who had a lot.
Franklin Roosevelt was a very intelligent president🤙🤙

We can have Dan Crenshaw run and then you can add Navy SEAL
@DND Geek Reagan was a Second lieutenant in the United States Army who was called to active duty in I believe 1942 he served in the 332nd Cavalry and the 323rd Cavalry try and keep up Slappy
@@mcpishicar7817 no thanks. He's a RINO.
Reagan did a great job. If you think otherwise, you weren’t paying attention.
It would've been cool if you featured Grover Cleveland twice, but in his second appearance you added "president" to his list of previous occupations
Oh yes you are right. I will take note of this. Thanks a lot
@@LISTTV what song did you use?
@@JackBoy-cq7uf It seems like a mashup of various pieces, you can hear Dvorak's New World Symphony for example
Donald Trump will be like Grover Cleveland, president one term, not president the next term, but comes back for a third time and is president again.
@@thecomedypilot5894 so a non consecutive term? Maybe, im not sure, its up to the biden administration if they do well and so far they aren't like of course in afghan. Maybe trump or a different republican administration will lead, who knows?
18th century: planters
19th century: lawyers
20th century: military officers
Thanks for watching and for this comment.
21st century: idiot business man
21st century: clowns
I think the 21st century would be economic and business expertise in the majority.
20th century because of the World Wars
Joe Biden was also a lifeguard, that’s where he met corn pop
Oh yes bro he was! Thanks for the visit and this additional info!
@Joseph MALLOUHI hehe
And Corn Pop was a bad dude
They should’ve included his lifeguard picture where he looks like he’s posing, surely just minutes after meeting Corn Pop

Harry.s.Truman looks like Harry Potter and I like Abraham Lincoln when he was young and he is a tallest president I have ever seen
Yes looks so smart. Thanks for watching!
The fact that Truman and Potter both have the same first names....
Abraham Lincoln without a beard looks kind of like Bill Nye.
I Don't think Abraham Lincoln the tallest President In The World
Nah more like heinrich himmler
Rank the U.S. Presidents by looks when they were young and during their time in office. Please drop your comments here. Thank you!
For me, Obama and biden is the best

- 95%: lawyer or military/ naval person
- A few land surveriors (Washington)
- 1 actor: Reagan 😀
- 1 business man, real state developer reality television personality: Trump 😂
Great job. You converted data into information. Since lawyer and military is two very different jobs it would be better if you consider them as two profession's
ya but why Trump's younger photo is like the military uniforms?
@@rocaez2143 He wasn't in the military but he did went to The New York Military Academcy when he turned 12 and came out when he was 17.

I like how the later president's personalities were shining through in their young photos. This is even more true for Wilson's presidential photo, where his arrogance and disdain for anyone not like him just shines through
He kept his hatred of free speech in his chin
You knew him personally you lib pos?
@@michaelanthony2138 probably not, do you?
@@michaelanthony2138
1. Ofc not. I do know however that he was a Klansman.
Joning any political organisation voluntarily whose central message is the inherent inferiority of any particular racial group proves these opinions and personality traits.
2. It's not possible to call somebody a pos unprovoked without being hypocritical, because only a pos would do that. Let that sink in for a minute.
3.Here, read up a bit before being ignorant in full view of the whole world again: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson_and_race
@@LiteralCrimeRave Yeah, the 1918 Sedition Act was a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. I can't believe it was held up by the Supreme Court
What did Theodore roosevelt do?
Answer is: yes.
The real correct answer: Whatever the heck he wanted.
Teddy Roosevelt is like a roblox roleplayer
Betcha he never worked at McDonalds

He was said to be very handsome, except he walked with his nose up in the air
What's nice is seeing our presidents in the military as young men's.
:) thanks for watching!
I think we need more!
I salute presidents who served in the armed forces because at least they've earned the right, so to speak, to command the military

Love how the video ends with the last 2 guys smiling like they're buddies 🤣

This is a complete package. Informative and a nice background music.
Thanks a lot!
What is the background music's name?
So mindblowing to see these presidents as young men...fascinating pictures.
Thank you very much! :)
Than you for your great work
Hi @Federico Guillermo Capetto! Thank you very much!
Wow. What an amazing video. And the background music is an excellent choice indeed!
Man, you really missed out on the opportunity to put “Boxer” for Lincoln
Wahahaha! For sure he is a heavyweight coz he is very tall. Thanks for watching!
@@LISTTV Gerald Ford - football player.
Also missing Vampire hunter.
Thought Lincoln was a wrestler?
@@Rockhound6165 you might be right, I can’t remember specifically what he was but still…
'Secretary of War' is such a kickass job title!
Well, it’s the same as secretary of defense. They were just more sincere about what it was about.
I loved this version of glory glory hallelujah. Where did you find it? I loved the video, it was really good. Congratulations!
It’s called Hooked on America, and it has the best rendition of the song I’ve heard!
@@kyberbricks3781 I'm not even american and it sounds pretty cool, really sounds like kinda like a victory song
4 minutes well spent good job!
Thank you very much sir! :)
nice thanks for the share
Thanks for the visit!
To everyone who wanted to know what the background music in this video is called is called Hooked On America by Louis Clark.
I have studied little of the presidents of the United States and I greatly admire the contributions that have brought them forwardI. Kind regards from Misantla, Veracruz, Mexico 🇺🇸🤓🙏🏻🤩👉🏻🇲🇽😎
LOTS of Gershwin in it.
Gone are the days, when my heart was young and gray. Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away. I hear the gentle voices calling, old black Joe. Old black Joe by Stephen Foster. First part of that Medley.
I heard 1812 in there too?
Great comment!

Love the background music!!
Actually, Grant did quit the military in 1854, but later rejoined the military in 1861. During that time he tried several jobs like farming and selling firewood.
2:40 harry s. Truman looks like harry potter
Hehe yes. Thanks for watching!
A few things this video enlightened me about. One: the carrier of the lawyer is what led most of these men down the presidential path. Two: notice a shift after ww2 where military background is a must. Or television..
Thank you very much for watching!
You have not been enlightened. An enlightened person would have said that thats the problem. No average joe/jane.
Fascinating!
Nice video, epic music
Young Lyndon B Johnson at 2:52 looks like Bashar al Assad.
Hehe. Thanks for watching!
I'm guessing that's how Bashar chose his style for international presentations.
I like that the sound isn't boring this time. Now it is fun to watch
Hehe thanks a lot!
I used to think Kennedy was the most handsome one, but now I know that it’s because he went into office younger than the others. Damn, some of them could have been movie stars.
I think Kennedy just aged well.
@@iama2509 A lot of them did; Kennedy, Reagan, Roosevelt, Trump, Biden, etc :)
@@Grandmaster_Dragonborn nah trump aged badly he went from young hot rich dude to old fat pervert
@@fabulousmeatpotato5987 Pervert? Where’s the proof for that 😹
Obama looked cool as hell too,
It's so interesting to see their bright, innocent eyes in their young photos, and then their eyes in the older photos after war. Very interesting comparison.

0:23 music beat drop is fire
2:39 Harry Truman Potter
Thanks for watching!
There’s more variety in Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt’s occupations than in the rest of the Presidents combined
Is it just me or does this remix actually SLAP🔥🔥🔥
What song?
seriously where can i find it
@@kayden2119 apparently it’s called hooked on America. You can find it on TH-cam
I could name all of them when I was six years old. But to this day, I still can’t name all their jobs 😆
To wonder if we could really use a time machine to see what the presidents from the 1800s and earlier looked like as youngsters.
Nice video
Did not expect Papa Joe has that 80's Lifeguard chad looks
Thanks for watching!
Nowadays he likes to be called creepy uncle Joe tho
I feel old when I see Biden as a young man .... he looks like a regular guy from 2021
You have FDR as Federal Office. He was actually assistant Secretary of the Navy during WWI. That's why he took Germany so seriously in 1940.
Interesting take on Antonín Dvořák's symphony From the New World... :)
To fill some of the empty slots for Cleveland, you could have added hangman and Mayor of Buffalo
Love the video! Can I ask where'd you get the music? I've been trying hard to find it
It's Hooked on America by Louis Clark
Man, Roosevelt was such a badass
Yes, having prejudice against an entire race is really "badass".
Nothing more "less masculine" or mature as the man-praiser attitude from a boy. Just drool at his balls dude. Lol your idol was not so different from hitler you know..
I need the song, excellent work 👍👍
It would be more helpful if you could add what sort of data the rows represent, like was it before office, post presidency etc
John Tyler, our 10th president, born in 1790, still has living grandsons.
Gerald Ford flipped hamburgers when he was young - I saw it on a video
I will note this. Thanks for watching and for the info
1:22 best part of the music hits with best President not a coincidence
Dubya with his pilot uniform was an eye candy!
lmao
If I remember correctly, Rutherford B. Hayes also served in military and fought during Civil War.
Yes
1:21... BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!
Hello @LIST TV Can you do Philippine Presidents When they were young & Previous Office?
Opo cege po salamat po sa ideya. Hehe

Can you imagine a world without lawyers?
Nobody can beat my drip 🔥🔥🔥
Everyone: oh yeah I did this, that, and that.

Presidents who look young now look as if they aged like fine wine when compared to earlier pictures
Hehe.... Thanks for watching! :)
Wow joe was a good look guy back in the day
Thanks for watching!
Damn Chester Arthur still keeps his sideburns when he was young
The remix of the classical music is very cool, could you please share the name/how to find it.
USA needs more Presidents coming from land/farming job to know better how ordinary people's life is!
This is true. Thanks for watching!

Whats the name of the background music
Thanks for watching! Hooked on America is the title.
That last part though hahaha
3:08 Why Carter's face looks so surprised lmao
Guess he wasn’t expecting to turn around to a camera in his face and ready to snap a picture 😂
What is this song? I very like it.
Hooked on America by Louis Clark
When you make video's similar like this try to get their birth and death dates if ya can. Like i bet most people watching this dont know that as of right now Jimmy Carter is Still alive. And if you're feeling extra then date the photos too. 🤷🏻♂️ just some idea's I'd do but this is still a great video.
It still baffles me that Carter is still alive
Up one it's not over. Long time I'm sitti it now
:) thank you so much!
Love the bgm hehe
I thought 2 terms was a lot more common, but there are lots of presidents that only had 4 years in office. Crazy
Thanks for watching!
Biden looked like a normal charismatic person. Still does.
Is that before or after he would let little kids rub his legs?
What's the name of the song (medley) that you used in this video?
Confirms: So, I saw some comments about coloured photos. And for confirms, they were out but they became common until the 60s rather, the first one was in 1861, however, black and white photos were much more accessible and common.
