    I cannot they bring up the “dancing until they died people in France” so often in casual conversation Ryan just casually mentions it during the episode not knowing that is exactly what it’s all about

    There actually was a laughter epidemic. It happened in 1962 at an all girls school in Tanganyika, Africa. Symptoms included lightheadedness, respiratory issues, fits of screaming and uncontrollable crying, rashes, restlessness and the urge to run around aimlessly, and even extreme flatulence. members at the school were affected. The laughter spread throughout the village to as many as 1,000 people, 14 schools were forced to close.

    Shane and Ryan talking about the dancing until you die plague has actually been setup for several years starting with early true crime.
    It started as Shane bringing it up as an anecdote during I THINK the true crime episode where that family in Australia ran off and went crazy. Ryan refused to believe him that it was a thing.
    Then over the next several years it bounced back and forth between Ryan and Shane casually bringing it up in different videos to describe mass hysteria. Shane saying it was because of moldy bread once or twice, Ryan not sure if it actually happened and blaming the not so great records back then. This whole time I waited for them to talk about it on unsolved even though it didn't really fit the mold
    And finally we have come to their new channel where Shane is the one talking about it and Ryan doesn't realize what's happening until like halfway through the episode.

    This episode was an up and down between "Does Ryan know what this is about?" "Oh, I bet he does, bummer, it'd be fun to see the moment he realises" to "Oh my God, he doesn't KNOW" to "Hm, no reaction to the woman who wouldn't stop dancing, I guess he does know after all" to "HE'S SUCH A LITTLE DUMBASS, I LOVE THIS."
    It was worth it

    I love how Ryan accidently said out loud what the story was about! The first time I saw it, I laughed so hard!

    I like how there's so much rich history in the world, but every year, in every grade, we only learned about the world wars over and over and over again.
