It was so fun to learn more about something that I hadn't given a lot of thought to. That's kind of how I've felt about watching all 3 of the episodes develop, so hopefully that comes across in the next 2 as well!
David Milch is a genius. Deadwood is a masterpiece. Absolutely love every minute of Deadwood. I watch and chuckle at each turn of phrase. Let’s hear it for wordsmiths everywhere!
In the Victorian era they had such a mastery of the English language. I loved deadwood. It's one of my favorite series of all time. I think a lot of people with poor vocabularies were lost and consequently lost interest. This was very interesting and something I've actually wondered about. Another thing I think people didn't realize is most of the characters in the show were real people who actually lived in deadwood.
HELLO we have the tiniest of corrections - we don't actually have any of those social accounts for History Pop that are listed in the endscreen. Maybe if the channel does well we'll look into making socials for it in the future, but if you want to find us on any of those platforms, you should actually be following Complexly!
I specifically looked for the narrator credit, so yeah, good work. But now I'm compelled to ask what the difference is between a "host" and a "narrator". I suspect some union thing.
@@f.eugenedunnamiii9452 In my understanding a host ist someone who is introduced by name and his/her personality carries the show. A narrator supports a narrative, his personality isn't important as he takes on the personality that is needed for the story. A narrator is basically an actor, while a host is (more or less) himself.
This is a great start for this new channel. When I heard Hank talk about them I wasn't clear on whether the feedback would be determining how many of the three were continued, or which ONE would continue. Because of that, and the fact that I haven't seen anything from the other two yet, I can't "vote" for this, but if there's a chance of all three channels being made permanent then I can say based on this episode that History Pop is a winner!
The origin of our swear words is something I now realize I always wanted to know, but never looked up. Thanks for tackling it! Glad you made this video!
Brandon Yohn Here’s another neat bit of swear word trivia. In France, most swear words are related to sex and bodily functions (like in English), but in Quebec, where people speak a French dialect that branched off in the 1600s, religious objects are still used as profanity. So “tabernacle” and “chalice” are two of the most common swears.
I still remember many decades ago that for a blue collar job, part of the amusement for some dimwits was to teach the non-English speaking new guy the usual swear words, but not warn them that those are swear words. Then, turn them loose and see the reactions when they speak to the team boss or the foreman about the job or the weather.
I am validated as well as LMAO because the style in which you are doing this narration is exactly how I have done things from time to time to make a point, and I have been known to make long complex sentences in paragraphs which contain only two, particularly noted upon by those who apparantly have done no classical reading withal.
I'm starting a dissertation about how we present the history of the American frontier through games, and the centre of that discussion for me will be around towns like Deadwood, and their in-game comparissons (or fictionalisations) - and stuff like this is pure gold! Thanks so much for this, it's given me a fascinating new lens to look at the historical records and modern-day adaptations through.
Allanna Please please tell me you’re looking at the UnDeadwood ttrpg miniseries on Critical Role’s UA-cam channel. Despite some of the more supernatural elements, I think it might be a good research source for you to look into. And I know the creators are working so hard on it. 😁 good luck with your dissertation! It sounds fascinating!
What a cool concept! I learned a lot from this episode and it really helped me understand why tv shows may sometimes sacrifice historical accuracy (it's always been a pet peeve of mine). Will definitely recommend it to my friends! I hope you keep making it!
Usually when I find things that are blatantly wrong (historically) it annoys me a bit as well, but looking at it this way, it definitely makes more sense that they would account for what will impact the audience in the same way
For me, this is the best pilot of the three. I didn't really find myself in 'Stories retold' - I didn't know the tale, was not captivated by the graphics style (though the narrating was very good), it kind of felt like listening to a bedtime story but a creepy one and I would have liked to see a discussion about it and not just a presentation of the story as is. Especially since many of this type of stories have so many versions that changed according to place or time and the discussion of the different versions may be really illuminating. Though the first 'Hashed out' episode was well executed, I can't put my finger on why but I think it may reverbarate in an echo chamber, but not outside of it, if you get what I mean. The subject of the problems with today's media just hits too close to home for me, and as I don't feel like I can make a difference in how media is communicated to me, I think I will just find it too depressing and discouraging to see all the places where the media negatively affected the way I precieve the world. This episode was really well executed, it was fascinating despite the fact that I never watched 'Deadwood' (and frankly forgot was it was, not being an american), and though the subject related to pop culture (which made it more accesible and less antagonizing) I felt like it managed to convey something beyond the historical facts and analysis of the story (a 'moral' for the lack of a better word) without being preachy - the creators could have written the show in a more historically accurate manner, but by veering from the way things were, they managed to make the show more impactful for a contemporary, which serves the goal much better.
Our scriptwriter Tobin has seen it, but I put the video together without having seen the show before. I was surprised how even in the random clips I chose, I felt like I had a ton of useful context for what I was looking at, just from Tobin's wonderful script. In fact I have to admit to not having consumed any of the media we're covering in this pilot run, but I think the historical stories that we're sharing transcend the confines of the media we're jumping off from and hopefully other people feel that way too! -Nicole
History Pop I totally agree! I haven’t seen Deadwood either, but I still learned a ton about swearing from this video, and made me more curious about the historical context of today’s discourse. Thanks so much for your work on this Nicole!
It was a great series and like many hbo shows, especially back then, cancelled before it's proper ending. Just finished rewatching last night, and I'm going to watch the movie in a few minutes.
@Frank Castle I liked it, but thought it should've been longer. It's remarkable that they got that many of the actors back, though it was painful to see swearengen physically diminished like that.
@@historypop I can't recommend Deadwood enough, out of all the classic, critically acclaimed dramas of the 90's and 00's, Deadwood and The Wire are the two that really had an impact on how I consume and judge entertainment.
Love this! These types of videos are among my favorites. I actually don't watch many tv shows or movies, but I love videos that use them to explore history, storytelling, or art.
Reminds me of the less historically accurate costume choices in Moulin Rouge- if they had kept everything more historically accurate, the modern audience's reactions wouldn't be right. So they changed the costumes so that the modern audience would react similarly to how the historical audience might have reacted to the historically accurate costumes
The premise is great! And thank you so much for not censoring the swearwords. I love this series, and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos. However, I feel like because of the "grammar" established by media criticism UA-cam, we need either a face that is talking to us (ie Lindsay Ellis style), or we need clips over the narration (ie Every Frame A Painting style). The minimal clips and the overwhelming amount of text on the screen does not engage visually, so I hope you guys work on that. Good luck!
Excellent!!!! It was worth it subscribing!!!! I can't believe we will be forced to choose the show... I'm so sure that all for of them are going to be this good
Milch himself produced a special feature on the D.W. DVD box set and talks about just this. I took the show for what it was, entertainment, and think it ranks top shelf. You may come to be a Milch fan.
This was extremely interesting to watch, especially since I've found trying to research the history of swear words a bit difficult. Hope to see more of these History Pop videos!
Oh yeah, I'm going to love this channel. I wrote my senior thesis on the show LOST, and connecting pop culture to society is right up my alley. Please, please, please continue!
Of the three new channels, I like this one the most. Pop culture and history have a unique relationship with each other and it's fun to see it broken down like this!
Thanks. That was nicely done, to say the least. It's not often that the internet offers 10 minutes of history or sociology that is as well researched, written and narrated as this.
as someone deeply interested in both pop culture and history, this channel is *absolutely* my thing, much more than the other two pilots. hope this gets greenlit!
I was raised strictly no dirty words, but I swear the swearing was one of my favorite things about Deadwood. Kept me in stitches. Some of the best lines. Mulch is a writing genius.
This is the coolest video/topic, thanks!!! I wish creator stayed more authentic with the cuss words. Before this video family and I have been arguing weather the overuse of those types of words in those days were authentic or not. Now I know. They seemed to do such a good job with other aspects I wish they were more authentic in the cuss words too so you’d fully feel like you stepped into history when you turned on the show
This was really interesting! I hope you make more of these after the first three. One thing I would suggest though is keeping those little circles away from the text. They make it hard to read what's onscreen. Otherwise, great stuff!
Kudos...well scripted and researched! The evolution and etymology of our language is fascinating and this video demonstrates that well. Deadwood is an absolute classic....by far the best Western ever made imho....the script-writing is exquisite and the modern day swearing punchy and often exceptionally hilarious. Milch et al are brilliant in their writing and the actors are phenomenal. Favourites - "I am a sinner that does not expect forgiveness. But I am not a government official."- Francis Wolcott. "You can't slit the throat of everyone whose character it would improve!". - Al Swearengen.
I love the concept of History Pop so far! But I feel like without seeing Nick or any host, it feels a lot less personal than a lot of other Complexly content. Like, the graphics are fine and well polished, but it's nice to have someone seem like they're telling you the story face to face a little bit like on SciShow or Crash Course. That's just my personal opinion. Can't wait for more!
Contrary to you sentiment sir I'm burnt on on webisodes of people presenting their yawping big dumb or overly pretty mugs while I'm trying to get the content ala WiseCrack, WatchMojo Buzzfeed or dozens of political commentators who seem to think I'm interested in seeing them talk when truly IDGAF what they look like because I'm not interesed in them just the info.
On the contrary, I much prefer watching relevant text and graphics on the subject matter at hand, à la Wendover Productions, than looking at some fancy host waving his arms around. I don't really care about who's talking unless the person talking is actually relevant to the topic at hand. This is a series I might just want to consistently watch, whereas I am only a modest fan of Green&Green's other shows.
Good point, but there are some beautiful quotes as well contained in this show. " I will be so grateful if you will trust me with your sadness, and I will trust you with mine, so that even when we are sad…we will be grateful for how much we love each other, and know that we are in the world as much in our pain as in our happiness. "
This is sooo awesome. It something that you've always wondered about when it comes to historical movies and this is a perfect combo to make it understandable.
This was a very intresting story on the history of cursing and how language has evolved I hope this series continues in the future with new content on today's pop history!
I like to see more movie director and writers recreate all historical film like Deadwood, this give you a much better way to understand what really happen

Nick’s Narration is ridiculously good and is a salve for my broken heart over missing Reel Bad. I’ll totally sign up for another way to listen to Nick tell me about film for a while!
Once again, proving that education is AMAZING. I love watching videos like this, they spike my curiosity and make me want to know more. Thank you for inspiring learning everywhere.
I came here from hanks Chanel, and I’ve subscribed beacuse I like what your doing Hank! This is edgy but a needed conversation and complexly, thanks for supporting this edgy content. I’ve now gone and sighed up.
This is really great, I would like a little bit of music in the background, just to make the whole thing feel more fluid, right now it sounds more like a fast-paced podcast somehow. But other than that this is amazing. Moar pls
Very interesting! I did wonder about all of the cursing in the show Deadwood! I’m even from South Dakota, and Deadwood is one of my most favorite towns. You can just feel the history. It’s a great place to visit, or hang out for a weekend..:)
This was really interesting! As an anthropologist I love looking at little cultural details like this, especially when it comes to cultural evolution. I hope that this channel does well as I'd love to see more material from it

If you took the cussing out of Deadwood, it would be a silent movie.

In France, most swear words are related to sex and bodily functions (like in English), but in Quebec, where people speak a French dialect that branched off in the 1600s, religious objects are still used as profanity. So “tabernacle” and “chalice” are two of the most common swears.
I like the circle motiff but I find it really distracting when those circles are directly behind the text.

Especially when it's a dark circle AND it's actually touching the text a little bit
That was fascinating. Great work and thank you.
Nick’s Narration is ridiculously good and is a salve for my broken heart over missing Reel Bad. I’ll totally sign up for another way to listen to Nick tell me about film for a while!
Pop culture and history? It's all of my favorite things! I can't wait to see the next video.
This is what I didn't know I needed. I knew I loved history, but this new approach is so cool
...wow. Im going to take words like "damn" and "christ" in classic novels differently now.
Wow! I loved this info!! Great video!
Once again, proving that education is AMAZING. I love watching videos like this, they spike my curiosity and make me want to know more. Thank you for inspiring learning everywhere.
I came here from hanks Chanel, and I’ve subscribed beacuse I like what your doing Hank! This is edgy but a needed conversation and complexly, thanks for supporting this edgy content. I’ve now gone and sighed up.
I have never even heard if the show deadwood and yet loved this episode, thanks for a great new show complexly!
This is really great, I would like a little bit of music in the background, just to make the whole thing feel more fluid, right now it sounds more like a fast-paced podcast somehow. But other than that this is amazing. Moar pls
Very interesting! I did wonder about all of the cursing in the show Deadwood! I’m even from South Dakota, and Deadwood is one of my most favorite towns. You can just feel the history. It’s a great place to visit, or hang out for a weekend..:)
This is fantastic! I'm sharing this with all my writing groups. :D
im excited to see this channel when i know the subject. i liked this one a lot, even without ever hearing of deadwood before
This was really interesting! As an anthropologist I love looking at little cultural details like this, especially when it comes to cultural evolution. I hope that this channel does well as I'd love to see more material from it
