Mariah Carey has been real quiet since the professor dropped his Christmas album
Rumor has it she’s hella jealous of the Pricey Ice’s whistle tone 👀
I hope shane sees this comment lol
She’s on hush mode
@@greatvalue_ethelcain is a very time man 👨 the way you oooo out in a
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The professor casually slipping in the fact that a guy shit himself to death during the song is one of the best parts of the episode
further evidence that ryan's faking his lack of enjoyment because this should have delighted him lmao
I can't believe someone took their decades of skill to paint it tbh
Fun fact saint nick is not the only historical person to have died while shitting. George the second also died while shitting.
@@chipslejonet8840 Elvis too right?
@@flimsyenthusiasm5769 didn’t he die from drugs?
The fact that this episode was SLEPT on is an absolute crime, it is easily one of the best ever. The gay oars? Iconic. The way Kate was so excited about seeing the diamonds? Beautiful.
nah this is my fav episode, when Ryan gets a rotten jelly bean for saying suck it Kate and when Kate cries after getting her gift LOL gets me every time
ryan immediately describing jesus as "fresh on the scene, a debutante" still gets me every time i watch this episode
the fact that shane truly believes the hotdog sandwich debate is absolutely of equal importance as one of the most important theological debates in the history of christianity is the cherry on top of this episode
Exactly. Jesus claimed to be GOD. So arius claiming he wasn’t God was punishable by death. No separation of church and state.
They're clearly tacos.

@@benjaminlambert8944 Just a slight correction on your statement - Jesus didn't state He was God, He stated He was the Son of God.
Kate's genuine joy next to Ryan's hungover uncle energy is just *chefs kiss*
I hope Kate reads through these comments to see how many people appreciate her.
They definitely filmed this the day after Too Many Spirits if he's hungover 🤣
@@tippib2222 She's magnetic!
Yes!

It hasn't hit me before how Kate fully committed to the idea that the pile of diamonds is a different entity to the professor and Shane (which of course, it is)
She's easily one of the best contestants, Ryan included, for her insane commitment to the bit
kate crying over the professors gift is the most relatable fucking thing.
I actually teared up when she did. :)
One big mood
I cried with her 😭
I love how she was so emotional we all caught feels by proxy
Pure love
I want a t-shirt that says, "Christmas can be every day when you're travelling the world and you're an oar and you're gay."
Oml samee
I NEED that t shirt
Redbubble creators, where you at?
YES
Timestamp please
kate going from "a friend" to "your first born" such a big leap and i am still laughing about it
Shane is somehow able to give the Professor animated expressions without changing his face and that's amazing
This Christmas, he's not Professor McNasty, he's Professor McNaughty
Or maybe it’s Professor McNaughsty lol! Great joke, you had me crackin’ !
Best comment
it cost you nothing to say that
Oh is that why he almost called Ryan daddy? 🤣
But he’s a good boy 🥺
Requirements to have christmas everyday:
-travel the world
-be an oar
-be gay
I have everything except “travel the world” and “be an oar”
Damn... I can only do two
i see the gays have accumulated here
I got one of the above going for me so far
One out of three
I just love seeing how much heart Shane pours into this show. In Unsolved Mysteries he is usually so laid back, skeptical, and pessimistic. In contrast to that in this he is constantly happy, screaming with joy, and so theatrical. So happy to see Shane happy.
Kate's sheer excitement at the big pile of diamonds is the equivalent of a young kid seeing their favorite Disney character.
Kate putting away her drink to pay better attention to the song is me.
How casually Shane threw in a gay oar couple is everything.

Doesn’t matter what time of year it is, this episode of Puppet History has become a piece of comfort media for me. Between the songs from returning guests, Kate’s response to her gift, Ryan’s outfit, and The Professor just being himself; I can’t help but be happy!
I’m watching this at the end of July, and I feel like I’m smack dab in the middle of December, watching the snowfall even though I’m in the Midwest and it almost never snows here lol
“The name’s Nicholas, and don’t make me check you twice.”
Okay, that was actually pretty badass, not gonna lie
Ryan’s trying really hard not to enjoy this
We all know he not-so-secretly enjoys this
I'd like to think that maybe Shane practiced in front of him a couple times before that Ryan got tired of seeing everything already
@@superpluto9802
Or just sticking to character, or he really doesn't care
@@lexistazo 😼
I actually think that ryan is a bit bored, or idk :( seems really disinterested for me like the whole time:(
When the oar came up, i immediately was like “is he still with his boyfriend?”
So happy they got to travel the world
Ps. Ryan being dead inside while every song plays will never not be funny
The fact that I’m so invested in a Gay Oar relationship 💀💀
who's gay?
@@ecksdee1637 the oar's are gay lol the whole song was about them traveling around everywhere together being gay.
@@jessiz7833 I hope they have a great life
@@JackalopeBunny ohhhh lol
I love that Kate was about to take a drink but when she heard that Santa Claus arrived she put that shit down immediately. What a wholesome gal.
Fun fact, in the UK we leave alcohol and mince pies out for santa at Christmas. Traditionally sherry but nowadays just whatever the adults in the house like. Often baileys.
I LOVE the episodes with Kate! She's so funny and bright and has great chemistry with everyone. I hope she keeps coming
Agreed!
I love how Kate is excited for every song she's like a kid left in a candy store
They are a bop though 😂
Yeah...well...she did say she was more into the green stuff. Just sayin.
@@caryulmer5578 😂😂
Oh come on it’s so melodramatic
@@referenceslut7529 no its adorable
there was so much going on in this episode. the increasingly absurd and disturbing Saint Nick lore. the showstopping album of return guest and the Professor's songs. Ryan winning and Shane cutting him off before it could happen. Kate being so utterly excited and overjoyed that by it all she was moved to tears. I hope she knows I love her and wish her well 💖
People buying officially sanctioned healing "bone juice" from a church gift shop kinda sums up the catholic church for me.
internetonsetadd The lack of the professor commenting about whether or not that’s safe & sanitary concerns me. 😳
@@internetonsetadd that isn’t a thing now I swear. Don’t judge a book by its

@@simplyshelly5985 Can I judge a bone by its healing juice?
Candy candy cotton candy Cotton candy I'll judge it instead by the rampant child sex abuse constantly reported on the news instead.
The way The Professor said *_"YOU SAVED THE PICKLE BOYS!"_* so fucking triumphantly at his song kills me every time lmao
7:52 Kate’s pure joy at seeing “That Big Pile of Diamonds” is like a child waking up on Christmas morning and then seeing their presents. Always makes me smile and makes the depression shut up
“I almost called you *dad.”*
There’s a lot to unpack here....
So Shane calls Ryan /daddy/ does he?
(Please dont shoot me for the horrible joke)
I mean the professor is a time traveller, and it could explain the hate.
I'm sorry did you say *dad?*
What is that?
“Is it because you’ve been naughty?”
“Who? Me? Oh Nooo”
MY theorists Senses are tingling
A professor almost calling his student "dad"? The tables have turned, it seems
How the turn tables for sure
Ain't it the truth!
Throwback to Ryan calling Shane daddy in unsolved

“I haven’t cried properly in a while”
*breaks down over tiny processor gift...
If that isn’t a 2020 mood idk what is.
In 2020 and even now, I cry on a weekly basis and sometimes over the stupidest things
Edit: here's an example. I spent half an hour crying while watching random people graduate. I'm still in school and years away from graduating.
its september 2021 and i cried over kate crying so
Lolllllllll it’s so relatable and true 😂😭😭😭
I felt so bipolar bc I would wake up from my 5 hour nap and smile cause I feel so relaxed, but then immediately cry bc I was isolated, unemployed, and taking naps in the middle of the day while being quarantined. If a PHD puppet took his time to buy, wrap, and send me a gift, I would have cried my eyes out too.
After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly.
Actual Score: Ryan had 4 points and Kate had 1. Ryan won but I believe Kate really is the winner because she was such a delight in this episode and was so happy with her gift and her make up was stunning
🫘 Kate was so adorable
16:52 The cut from Kate loving the song to Ryan trying his hardest not to strangle the Professor is amazing, loved it

omg
Look out for the 2040 cinematic adaptation by Ryan Murphy
Edit: nvm he better not get his paws on this, I’d fight him
Oh my gosh I would PAY for Puppet History: The Musical.
y e s
Very. Very. Very here for that. I doubt Shane wants to write a full length show but I'd settle for a review!
Nothing makes me want to see the unedited puppet history guest songs more than this video
SAME omg what do the guests actually seeee the people wanna know
Two things:
1) I’m so glad they had Kate for the special! Like it’d be cool if they had Steven or Sara, but they brought Kate back!
2) Speaking of Kate, I love that the professor brought back That Big Pile of Diamonds, it just seems so authentically thought, as well as coming full circle
I'm just so grateful that Shane is finally giving me the representation I've always craved: *gay oar travelling the world and singing songs with their partner*
right! We need more representation for gay oars out there 🥰
The oar is living my dream
Could be gay oar /j (gayer)
@@mediaelycani’m giving you a pun point on behalf of the prof, i’m sure he would want you to have it
I genuinely keep forgetting that The Professor isn't a real human being and just a blue fuzzy mitten that the (possibly) demonic Shane Madej moves around
I forget he can't see
The hand we see, actually being not a hand, just his lower body.^.
Have sweet dreams with this thought now!
Whenever it cuts to Shane behind the booth it genuinely jars me. Like that's a sight humans weren't meant to see, I get so into accepting the presence of the Professor that the break is always a shock.
Kate’s energy when the pile of diamonds came on scene was exactly what I needed :”)
kate is my favorite guest that appears on this show i love her sm
I really wish Kate was a part of The Watcher fam. Her energy balances theirs.
YES
BRING 👏IN 👏KATE 👏
Haha oh once they get the budget i give it a week XD
She's like the distant cousin you only see like twice a year at most
I love her but who is she?
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Shane’s songs, especially the pile of diamonds’ one this time? Such a bop
I love the song for this episode, we need a music video for it!

We were starved and He gave us an entire feast 😤😌
The pile of diamonds song was my favorite of them. Man, props to Shane
i have slowly come to the conclusion Shane is a lyrical genius with a gift of musical ability to boot while watching this series
I would also cry tears of joy if the Professor gave me a book of Shakespeare quotes.
Kate is the best guest, just throws immerses herself into it.
Makes no sence
Exhibit A, 22:04 😂
@@Whispering.Graves dude she said it herself, she was baked, it makes perfect sense

Puppet history is literally the only thing that has kept me going this year.
the only reason i wake up
Me too😭
HONESTLY 😭
Fr tho. I'm a college student and I've had a couple breakdowns (pretty minimal but I can't-- for the love of everything holy, adapt to online schooling.) Sometimes when I'm in the middle of one, and an episode pops-up, it helps me calm down and regain my focus
"Literally" literally means nothing these days
discovering shane and ryan through buzz feed and subsequently finding watcher and feverishly consuming all their shows is also simultaneously realizing that I could’ve used them exactly this time last year…I’m very happy I’m in the mental state where I am now but I know for a fact they would’ve helped 2020 Linaea so much
26:43 GAAAHHHSBSBB THE WAY THAT THE SANTA BONES CUT OFF THE PROFESSOR AND HIS FACE JUST GOES:
😐
BAHHAHHSBSBSBSNSN
The professor’s backstory gets more convoluted with every episode...
SOMEONE NEEDS TO EXPLAIN THE GENIE 🧞
I just like to pretend he's a timelord, explains the overlapping times and varied adventures. Or maybe he is just 3000+ years old and cursed with immortality
The funny part is I was talking about how he nearly called Ryan ‘dad’, not the genie bit
@@mbe67 oop- 😂
Can we talk about how Shane kept nailing his singing? That man's too talented
Man is a legit rapper
You know those songs are pre-recorded before the show, yeah? It’s still impressive but it’s not like he’s singing right off the cuff.
@@steinychickens9026 god you’d be so fun at parties, wouldn’t you
@@steinychickens9026 well...duh.
@@steinychickens9026 no shit Sherlock but he’s still singing it, do you know how many singers “live shows” are pre-recorded?
Ryan’s face during all the musical numbers just kills me
The “yeah he shit himself” part in the song with that guitar riff had me scream-laughing
I love how the professor is just throwing jellybeans at everyone at this point
He giving Ryan the fake hope of getting the cup 😂😂😂 and I loved it
The jellybeans used to mean something. Now, they are just a reminder of the Professor’s growing vanity and his pursuit of absolute power, which has now corrupted the Bean System.
Christmas special lol
My heart melted when Kate opened her present and started crying. She's too wholesome for this world!

Either/or 😂
Can i just say, the co ordination required to make those two fuckin oars look like theyre singing those lines at the same time is phenomenal, i’m assuming one oar was a backing track and one was shane but that really was a banging song, ive heard that song about 50 times and i still love it
I honestly always feel like Kate whenever watching this show. It brings me an immense amount of joy and honestly I was about to cry when Kate opened her tiny gift and started to cry lol 😂

My ideal form
Getting that tatted on me.😂
I feel seen
for a puppet that has for the most part a fairly limited range of facial motion beyond "8V" and "8|", the sheer stock-still bewilderment broadcast from the professor's expression when kate cried over her present was incredible
“I AM THE GUSHING BONES OF SAINT NICHOLAS… I’m a sopping wet pile of bones, my life is soaking in misery”
When Ryan said he thinks “gravy” when Turkey is mentioned, is exactly the reason why they are petitioning to change their country name lmao
why is no one mentioning “What are we gonna do? Talk about those guys who played football during World War 1? Here’s that story....They played football. The. eND.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
I mean, there’s really nothing else to say about it, lol. They played football and... that’s it. 🤷🏻♀️😂
@@lexigrimhaive well they were enemies that played football, the christmas truce. and i think the country leaders hated it, because it made the enemy more human and less enemy, so they made sure it won't happen again. (not a history professor)
Edit: misspelling
There are some movies about the christmas truce, but i haven't watched them so i can't say if they are good or not (i had the subject in history class a few years back). One is called "merry christmas" from 2005, it's a french movie. and i think there are at least two more, one from 2002 and one from 2015 (the newest one got the worst imdb rating with only 5,8 tho, the others 7,7 and 7,5. the imdb text of the 2015 movie also states something about some lovers which seems like the christmas truce itself isn't the focal of the movie. Also the guy is an american soldier, which i don't understand why. So i guess i would go for the 2005 or 2002 movie if you want to see a movie about it)
hearing about it is kind of nice and really emotional imo. the soldiers had an awful time and where just like "it's christmas, let's not kill each other" - it's not totally clear how it started
@@englishatheart Damn, English isn't my first language and I am very bad at languages. Thanks, I will edit it
Because it's a beautiful moment of history but... puppet history kinda vibes with the weird stuff not the wholesome stuff yknow?
Ryan’s calling Steven Babe, and the Professor is calling Ryan Dad...what’s going on over there? 😂😂😂😂
Ryan is actually both Steven's and Shane's daddy

@@rike12octavia14 it was an episode of Too Many Spirits!

I love how everybody is enamored with zombie St. Nicholas and then there's Ryan's little "...horrifying" in the back lol 26:26
I love you, canonically gay oars 🥺 Kate's face during every song is similarly adorable.
Also I love that modern Santa Claus is apparently just a collection of fanfiction.

I was like “This would somehow be even better if Kate was here, but they wouldn’t have her again” AND THEN KATE SHOWED UP AHHHH

Professor almost calling Ryan dad:
ryan: "Professor do you see me as a father figure?" XD
Kate is legit my favorite guest on the show. She’s so happy and funny, love her
Ryan being the Professor’s dad is the biggest twist of the year😮
Same energy as Ryan’s ‘thanks babe’ to Steven lmao
what? when did they say that???
In the future Ryan might fall in a great trouble and then he find a lamp. As a result he found a genie,but the genie wasn't classical. So he give his first born to him. The genie turn him into a puppet [therefore immortal]. He learn all trick from his abusive adopted dad. Now he has come to past for revenge. #theprofessororigin

Travesty
Get the ghoul boys on this one I think Ryan was cursed and is being haunted so he never wins. 🧐
It's the time of the year that we revisit this master piece.
I know the professor is a puppet and therefore only has one expression but I was dying laughing at his reaction to Kate crying at her gift
