If someone ever rebuilt the original pair of legs from the prank on Mindcrack as a time-travel-themed prank on Beef I think I'd cry a little from nostalgia.
I like that the original joke is literally beef just saying "that's what they called him in college". like... it doesn't actually have a 'true' origin, beef completely invented this backstory of "well that's what they've always called him".
It's a trope from Mafia media that everyone has some too on-the-nose nickname. I don't have any Italian examples off the top of my head but Krazy 8 from the breaking bad franchise would be a general example
I think it’s actually even older than this. He was pretty infamous on MindCrack as well for always having some ladders on him and stringing them across the world and his bases way back when you could place them with gaps and they would still function. I think it was MindCrack season 2, there was a massive “king of the ladder” event in the colosseum someone built when I first remember someone bringing it up but I was VERY young and MindCrack was so long ago I’m not quite sure exactly
A lot of people think thats where it started, but that is just a well known moment where Etho is part of a ladder related thing. This is the main reason i felt like making this video and go digging for the clip. I just *knew* it came from a Team Canada moment.
It was MindCrack season 3, but for some reason when people are talking about Etho I always see people calling it season 1(It was Etho's first time on a MindCrack server, so it makes sense). Episode 10 is called "King of the Ladder" like you said. Nebris punching Etho off a ladder to (almost) build height started a game between like, six people to become King of the Ladder.
Thank you so much I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. It’s funny you know, I watched this episode when it came out in 2016, and I still couldn’t remember which series I saw it in.
Bdubs absolutely knew his nickname was ladders. Watching their scene together, bdubs reacted instantly to the mention of ladders, in a way you knew he knew. Even mentioning the third person where anyone out of the loop would think Etho was talking about the ladders themselves. Bdubs is the most dedicated Etho fan channel on TH-cam :P
@@diggoran there's a clip that the video didn't include where in a hermitcraft video, Bdubs has no idea and can't believe that his name is ladders. The clip in the video was a little after that
I'm not sure if you posted this because Team Canada is back finally on Beef's channel and they mentioned "Ladders", but either way I'm happy they are back and this was a good video :)
I love this, I wondered where exactly it came from, thank you! Also "what would we do without you ladders?" "Jump." That was amazing (I know I didn't quote it perfectly)
OMG You know what? One of the first things I've seen from Etho was actually him in Team Canada in that CTM playthrough! So by coincidence I was introduced to him (his content) right when he got his Ladders nickname! In my memory he'd say "Ey! I'm Ladders, I go up and I go down" but it seems it was a little bit different. Heh, memories. Thanks for this trip down memory lane, was fun! Also, 2016, now I feel old.
I love this!! Thanks for making a compilation. This is the link I can give whenever someone asks about Ladders in r/ethoslab from now on haha I’m afraid you missed a reference in Double Life… and then Cleo reacting to it on a livestream. I don’t know if I can link anything here so I’ll just put the twitch code. You can open any twitch clip link and replace the text with the following: ShortPlacidRutabagaResidentSleeper-wz8lHydPG51AdmQC Cheers!
Oh i'm quite confident there are quite a few "ladders" references that are not included. I quite clearly remember the exact phrase "eh, ladders. I go up and I go down" and I didn't hear that in this video at all.
@@reaganharder1480 It would be a Herculean task to track down every last reference, but yeah I was expecting to see that exact phrase because it's come up multiple times. A great compilation nonetheless!
@@Cortanuh lol I started binging all of the team Canada ctms and am like 120 ish episodes into the playlist :D I completely forgot about this clip, and actually like just watched the episode that this came from yesterday!
My favorite part about this is that if you asked me a year ago, I coulda told you exactly where Ladders came from. I've watched like every etho video ever
"What would I ever do without you, Ladders?"
"Jump"
I absolutely creased
CREASED
@@leonsonnyIM LOSING IT OVER THIS
😭😭😭😭
🤣
the fact that Ladders as his nickname was from a Team Canada episode makes Etho’s nickname even more wholesome
Very true
Ladders, mum, Beef's legs. Ah Team Canada we've missed you.
They’re playing a CTM right now! Team Canada is back with the Beefter, Etho and Pause. Videos are on Beef’s channel!
@@Hiznogood this is the best of news

intro boy
I love TC series but I’m an OOGE guy call me old fashioned
I like that the original joke is literally beef just saying "that's what they called him in college". like... it doesn't actually have a 'true' origin, beef completely invented this backstory of "well that's what they've always called him".
Yeah well, that's just a type of joke beef likes to say frequently lol.
Its a callback joke. What is funny is the ironic usage of the joke and doing it over and over.
yes and it’s even funnier if you know beef, especially old school beef made that joke with everything and everyone. but ladders stuck 💗
Yeah i adore that it started from a joke of how silly a nickname it would be for him, and that joke manifested it into reality
Epic PFP
"What would I ever do without you, Ladders?" "...jump" had me cackling
6 months later and the "jump" part still got me
lmaooo
its hilarious that 'Ladders' is also a charicature of an italian man from NYC for no apparent reason, its very fitting
It's a trope from Mafia media that everyone has some too on-the-nose nickname. I don't have any Italian examples off the top of my head but Krazy 8 from the breaking bad franchise would be a general example
@@DheRadman There is that guy that had a scar on his face, Scarface I think it was :)
@@0x2A_ lol good example but despite being portrayed by an Italian guy from NYC, the character is from Cuba
@@0x2A_Fun fact, Al Capone actually hated the nickname Scarface and preferred “Snorky”.
@@Blueeyesthewarrior Yes, we've all seen oversimlified's prohibition video. You're not smarter just because you watch more youtube.
My name is ladders, I go up and I go down. That is his catch phrase. Such a good bit
Drinking game: Every time they say "ladders" take a sip of water! It's important to stay hydrated!
Good idea
I'd never stop peeing again.
You had me in the first half... and then
Don’t overhydrate
Help I did this and now my head hurts and.my eyes feel like theyr bleeding
Etho putting ladders on a one high jump (3:09) is priceless
2:23 too :,)
im grinning so hard im so glad team canada is back
You forgot “life is like ladders, sometimes you go up, sometimes you go down”
I've been making "that was my nickname in college" joke for years and this made me remember i got it from Beef during the mindcrack days
I associate that with Team Canada and Rumble Tumble Game nowadays, haha.
The fact that he dived immediately into the catchphrase when with Bdubs is just XDDDDDD
I watched the origin when it first released, and years later I rewatched so much team Canada ctms trying to find it again, so glad you found it!
me too!
Isn’t it spell bound caves?
There's an etho search engine that searches video captions smoewhere
me too!

I even recall Etho being a fan of ladders and calling them "vanilla's jetpack" in an old OOGE Vinyl Fantasy II CTM episode.
Which ironically has Bdubs in the team. How has he forgotten?
@@mikehuang4834 Probably because it was like 13 years ago lol
What I love most is how much ETHO seems to like the nickname. So good so wholesome thanks team Canada
Ah yes, Etho Sladders.
Ladders, Esteban and Shmoopy.
The dream team.
I need the backstories of the other two 😂
"Ladders got some ladders for ladderself" was a clip I wished was on here
You're a real one for digging this up!!
Moving vertically is a hilarious catchphrase, actually
I guess Bdubs isn't a true etho girl anymore 😔
L for the etho girlies😔

I was always wondering why he is called ladders!
Thanks.
I always thought he was called "Etho's Lab" and imagined him as some kind of scientist
I'm not sure if you posted this because Team Canada is back finally on Beef's channel and they mentioned "Ladders", but either way I'm happy they are back and this was a good video :)

"But ladders is for life"
Chills. up and down my spine.
"oh ladders, what would I ever do without you?"
"jump."
Etho has such a lowercase yell heh 2:39
This brings back so many memories, thank you so much for bringing it back to memory.
Glad the team canada had a new series going on though
I was looking for this for so long! Thank you for doing the research that I wasn't determined enough to complete

I vaguely remember Beef having this recurring joke about nicknames in college lol. Thanks for bringing this fond memory back
2016... has it really been that long already?
Right? I couldve sworn ladders was from like 2013 or something not 2016. Whats worse is thats 7 years ago
Watching etho videos make you lose your perception of time. Is going to be 10 years soon...
Ladders what a classic! I remember when that episode was posted all those years ago. Good times.
Thank you so much for researching this and sharing AND especially for sharing the links!!
They’ve said “ladders” so much in this video that it no longer feels like a normal word.
But when did the catchphrase adjustment happen? I feel like what he says most now is “I go up and I go down”, which does flow a lot better.
i think its the same series as the origin but it mightve been like the next episode or something
I LOVE TEAM CANADA 😭
“Hehehehe, moving vertically, let me adjust my spectacles!” Beefers your killing me, hopefully Modern Veal has your humor 😭
With Beef n Pause, gettin Team Canada back together!
That reminded me of the great "King of the ladder" event on the MindCrack SMP 11 years ago.
Still one of the most laughs I ever had in a single video
A real classic.
@@Krucifus I thought it came from a team Canada episode in a CTM map
@@Jet-Pack Etho had a thing for ladders since Vinyl Fantasy when OOGE was a thing which ironically has Bdubs on the team. How did he forget?
I only just realised on a rewatch that Etho remembered rhe "I go up and down" line
Ever since that episode all those years ago, every time I see a ladder, I think back at this.
‘What would I ever do with out you?’
‘Jump’ xD I love them
The "LA" in EthosLAb is for ladders
EH LADDERS! I go up and I go down
“Ladders” doesn’t even feel like a word anymore.
"Ayy Ladders!" has always been common vernacular for me because of Etho.
Now all that I need is a compilation/origin story of beef being mom lol
12 minutes into Beef’s episode 3 video of Ruins of the Mindcracker’s is where that started lol
@@Cortanuh lol I started binging all of the team Canada ctms and am like 120 ish episodes into the playlist :D I completely forgot about this clip, and actually like just watched the episode that this came from yesterday!
Some people are lads, but Etho's Ladder.
I just want beef to call him that one last time.
I remember this like it was yesterday! Thanks for sharing it again!
Thank you for this much needed history lesson.
The fact that beef is involved makes this even better.
“what would i ever do without ya ladders?” “jump”
So glad you edited this LOL people need to KNOW!
Brought back so many memories. We love Ladders
VintageBeef is so underrated funny.
Great edit! All in one place for history lessons!
You deserve my sub in respect to my Sensei! 😂
Great job 👍
Did nobody else hear somebody say, "It's better than having shingles," @1:14?
This proves that Skizz getting shingles was scripted and Etho is making a comeback as Ladders in S10. /j
My favorite part about this is that if you asked me a year ago, I coulda told you exactly where Ladders came from. I've watched like every etho video ever
Thanks for this origin story, and your hard work, I was wondering about it as well
I remember that early Team Canada episode now that I see it again years after. The brain is weird.
I remember watching all those videos back then, the nostalgia is real with these clips. So entertaining those three. Ladders.
Having 'up up and away' as a catchphrase for taking off
And 'you're going down' for starting PVP
Would be fitting.
Thank you, this made me happy 🤗 🥰
"Ladders" was said so many times that it doesn't sound like a real word anymore
Eh, ladders. I go up and I go down.
Lol, thanks for putting this history moment together haha 😂 really nice to see this 👍
I remember this!! So glad it’s still a thing. Long live ladders
A ladder is a vanilla jet pack.
I'd completely forgotten about that gag! The Kaizo Serieses were great!
Oh dude! Thank you for this! I've always wanted to know the origin of it! So happy it was from team canada!
bro i remember watching this way back in the day
Thank you for this! I tried looking for clips myself and failed
- What would I ever do without you, Ladders?
- Jump ...
Thank you. I didn’t realise that I actually needed to know this.
Lol. Pretty good video, complete research, fine examples. 10/10.
This video makes me so happy
i cant believe i watched all those old clip back when they were fresh videos
For the algorithm! I love me some etho clips and lore
thank u for posting this :)).
The fact that I watched Beef’s videos in 2016 but didn’t find Etho until 2 years later when Grian joined Hermitcraft makes me sad
"What would I ever do without you ladders?"
"jump"
3:20, there you go. I was literally looking for this in the video sooooo-
Wholesome. I love these 3 together.
I miss pause unpause. Cool dude
The best part of ladders I recall was at the minecrack server when they randomly came up with a king of ladder game
Love the channel name
I love how the team can dada would go “ay ladders” “ayyyy”
I remember this! That is hilarious!
This is actually so nostalgic for me. I remember watching the original episode when the nickname was created.
Up and down, Ladder's in town!
Sounds like I have to rewatch the series!
Holy cow i remember watchn that
Ladders no longer sounds like a word
