“People drowned in molasses?”
Ryan: “that’s horrible”
Garrett: “not a bad way to go!”
“People scraped leaking molasses off the side of a metal tank”
Ryan: “that’s disgusting”
Garrett: “how economical!!”
Ever the optimist, Garrett
Ryan: "do you think I could boogieboard that"
Garrett: "Ryan, of course you could if you believe in yourself"
"They pulled a guy's arm off trying to save him from the molasses."
Garrett: But *maybe* he's perfectly fine in a little bubble safe from harm... Without his arm...
Ever the optimist.
i like how garrett's like "wait did people die? is it ok to make jokes about this?" i guess he hasn't seen ryan and shane laughing for 5 min at the possibility of a guy shitting himself as he died
I never got over that one 😭 gets me crying laughing everytime
@@kezialawrence1257 😭😭 please. I'm crying with laughter right now
Wait where's that from???
@@greenleaff9393 it's from bfu supernatural villa montezuma episode!
Or Jermaine screaming at the people who died dancing
I can't believe the professor never mentions that this disaster is also known as the great molassacre
You get a pun point for that one
Missed opportunity! 😢
you win. like you win the tiny jellybean pouch for that one
@@ojhudgins7326 no but like, he didn’t make it up. “The Greta molassacre” was literally the title of the newspapers the next day.
@@mpreivel1774 1:06 1:06
I love how Boston has had two separate unrelated events where a liquidy drink has been dumped and ruined infrastructure.
in all fairness the tea wasn't yet in liquid form but i do see where you're going with this
First put the tea, then the sweetener, warm it up with some global warming, and now we have a good ol cup of tea!
To be fair most drinks are primarily liquidy
If I had a nickel for every time Boston had a food item dumped into the harbor, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
The Professor being excited that Ryan was close to writing flu and then screaming *"NO!"* with such frustration when he said prohibition is the highlight of my day
I was SO excited for Ryan when that happened, Shane had so much faith in him for a second
This happens to me everyday, the life of a teacher is hard. You can do it, Professor!!!
In fairness to Ryan, I was thinking Prohibition, too XDD
I couldn't believe that the professor was helping ryan for once 😂🤣 "NO!!!!" I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I definitely thought the answer was prohibition too lmao
Head canon: all of Ryan’s answers are correct, but the Professor goes back in time and changes history so he is wrong.
I love it
I choked on my drink 😂
I'm waiting for the acc to reply "how did you know!"
You are on 666 likes so i cant like it but let it be known I laughed
i think this so often thank you
Shane is so fucking talented, I just can't. A singer, a puppeteer, a voice actor, a puppet and set maker *and a singer* . A general vibe, I'd absolutely pay to watch his show.
I forgot that it was Shane for a moment
don't they have a writer and producer?
@@gigikun1 No it’s just Shane. Everything is S H A N E /hj
You forgot the part about being essentially a history professor.
@@hogey989 okay but like let's talk about it. Let's have that chat, the longer you look at the shit this man has done, the more amazing he is. He puts his entire heart and soul into his art and it shows, it's is absolutely glorious and I love it.
I never expected to be singing "I hope my wife died too, so I can see her soon, and smooch her spooky ghost horse lips!" to myself, but here we are lmao. I cannot get this freakin' song out of my head
... and clip clop into the light!!!
And put the hooves in front of the other in front of the other! and CLIP CLOP INTO THE LIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
The whole hooves in front of the other, in front of the other, etc is my new mantra
You know how some people want to have Monty Python’s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” played at their funerals? “Clip Clop Into the Light” is that song for me.
This song is definitely one of the hardest bops he’s done
ryan not getting the flu answer when the professor was trying to hand it to him on a silver platter is high art
This is why he doesn't win puppet history
prohibition? 🤣
I literally screamed "the spanish flu" to my laptop..... then when Ryan gave his answer, I screamed a very loud NOOOOOOOOO XD
he’s me when i was in school tbh. there’s nothing going on behind my eyes only wii music
This is like when it took him half the episode to realize they were talking about the dancing plague
Garrett is their first guest that has the energy of both a too real person and a beloved but very fictional character
Garrett is a human muppet
thats garret for ya! literally his whole channel is a showcase of that
That’s the best description of Garrett I’ve ever heard lol
Garrett is a man _and_ a muppet
I love Garrett so much lmao
I’m so happy that Garrett has highly upgraded the quality of the guys named Shane he knows. I’m legit proud to see him getting to enjoy his projects after years of basically being bullied by Shane Dawson for views.
Ik like he’s not being constantly put down for being the wonderful little dork he is, it makes me happy to see him around people who aren’t constantly shitting on him
Partner lemme upgrade u(r Shanes)
This Shane (and Topp) are amazing The other is awful
Fun fact: after this people stopped using the phrase "as slow as molasses" in Boston for a long time because it brought back tough memories
"That's as slow as molasses!" "You mean as fast as molasses, right?" "..." "You mean as fast as molasses, right?"
“Are you threatening me in front of this big tank of molasses” is the “in front of my salad” of 2021.
Really? In front of my tank of molasses?
Actually it would’ve been the “right in front of my salad” of 1919
I’m definitely incorporating it into my vocabulary from now on
I love how garrett straight up just went “I don’t like the rules of this game, hey Ryan let’s threaten to beat up the professor”
Same
then Ryan replies: "what d'you think I've been scheming to do for the past few months?"
@@bwingbwinggwiyomi he’s being super nice to the Professor in the most recent Episode so this is very likely
@@julesking1303 He just killed the Professor so it was all a ruse…
@@merriquelynn866 bruh spoilers
ryan: *explains the whole thing about how 2020 will be the same as 1920, specifically mentioning our plague*
also ryan: prohibition?
Is it weird that I found the horsey/god duet comforting? Something about the mix of nihilism and general cheerful acceptance of one's mortality does a lot to ease the existential dread.
THICK HOOVES
Honestly, I found it comforting too, so I don't think it's weird haha :)
Same :) and hey, for all we know maybe it’s exactly like this in the afterlife, puppets and all 🤞
I am absolutely living for the shade in “The mayor of Boston refused to send immediate aid, instead releasing a statement saying, ‘We love molasses, it’s very special.” 😭💀
Yes!! It's so funny lmao
Wait what's the shade
@Ali It’s a Trump reference
I adored Garrett's energy and attutude, him quietly saying "this is the best thing that's ever happened to me" was unbelievably wholesome
and after everything he's been through, absolutely.
“I hope my wife died so I can see her soon! And smooch her spooky horse ghost lips”
@@bwingbwinggwiyomi I am sorry I don't know this. What happened to him?
@@apoorvajaiswal6608 My understanding is he used to work with Shane Dawson and was horribly mistreated. I've only ever watched maybe a minute total of Mr. Blackface's content, but I feel like I've heard that he was deeply cruel to Garrett despite the put-on "nice guy of UA-cam" persona.
@@melaniemagolan2241 Oh ohk. Thanks
When Garrett answered both Flapper girls And Boston Tea Party, I was like, “Honey no. Those are two separate things with YEARS between them.”
not just years, centuries
28:36 THIS MOMENT when Ryan is shaking his head and Garrett is nodding but they’re both thinking “yeah this is fucked up”
It is
Jovial and A bad time
Ok so with this series Shane is basically telling us that he could easily write a smashing musical but for some reason he just chooses not to...
I never knew how much I wanted to see a full 2 hour musical adventure of the Professor being chased through time by the genie until I read this comment
Maybe he IS writing one and Puppet history is an elaborate advertisement.
He honestly already has. In the buzzfeed unsolved Q&As his hot dog saga is that. I'm not sure when in the hot daga the first song is introduced, but people have compiled it so you can watch it all
@@paperheartsnreal1s hey bud can you send a compilation link
Are you saying that I should send hate mail with a single toenail clipping to his address every single day from now until he decides to write a musical?
garret is like a 7 year old who freaky friday's into an adult and just rolled with it in a pretty chill way.
Accurate!
HAHAHAHAHAH I'd watch that show
We love garrett in this house
I've never heard a more accurate statement in my life
Stunningly accurate.
Shane’s brain seems like a fun place to live
U gon get trapped like a little canary
re: garrett's question about whether there was an ant problem later on...my great-grandmother lived in that neighborhood at the time, and years later she would tell my dad stories about how every summer for YEARS there would be flies EVERYWHERE. so, yes.
So has the Professor been keeping Ryan in his basement this whole time? I feel that explains a lot of the hostility and why Ryan is on each week. Maybe he's just trying to win his freedom.
More like he hates him for being the arch nemesis of his best buddy, genie Shane.
@@mostmelon good point :)
Plot twist: the professor is a genie that has Ryan trapped.
I mean, he technically should’ve won last time
This makes all of the sense.
can we all appreciate how talented shane is?? his singing is so good??? i think he could be an actual voice actor at this point too??? and his songs are god tier????? huh???
He’s had experience with the hotdaga
RIGHT OMG
?????????
?? Shane isnt the professor tho???????
a stoooooool of gooooooldddddd
24:03 I just love the part where Shane was about to show B's choice, but sighs and cuts to the genie, himself, making a deal to wipe all the molasses from the streets. His sigh moment is beautiful to me, and it makes me laugh.
"B. Whatever that was all about." afterwards was just icing on the cake.
i feel like the leaks prevented it from bursting as the professor mentioned someone came in and fixed the leaks shortly before it broke
right!! i think the whole thing being tightly sealed would make the pressure & subsequent explosion worse lol
Garret was an S tier guest, he’s so willing to just full send the bits. What a song too, really love this episode! 💜
Whats S teir mean?
I agree, we need to have Garret back for another episode for sure! :)
@@brookiecookie6586 in ranking tiers, 'S' is "super" or "superb" - the highest.
I have no idea who he is! 😭😭😭😂 Halp?!
@@michaelgeoghegan4711 he used to be friends with shane dawson but he was basically just being bullied
i feel like garrett is the most ballsey guest they've had i mean he brought his own candy AND threatened the professer
He even considered teaming up with ryan to gang up on the professor
He still ruins the dynamic between Ryan and Shane, just like every other guest
@@decker528 if they wanted to preserve the dynamic for this series they wouldnt have an extra guest
@@decker528 i honestly don't think he does tho. he very much fits the vibe of the two, and often makes the jokes funnier. idrk what your going off of
That’s the real shock because usually the other guests leave Ryan in the dust 😂
As a Southerner living in Boston, I see Garrett's Boston accent as pure perfection.
It‘s you, the Exact Specific Demographic
I feel Garrett should have lost a jellybean for thinking the Boston tea party was potentially the correct answer
Anyone else realize that the reason the horse was introduced early was to get us attached to him as a character so that when he was killed in the finale we’d be attached.
goddamnit professor
*slams fists on table* I WAS PROMISED SCAT. THIS SONG HAD NO SCAT. I'VE BEEN LIED TO.
...I didn't realize it was the same horse 😶
How could they do this to us 😭
@@viddergrapho8488 ...do uh... do you mean ska? Because scat is... it’s something different.
Ryan: “do you think I can boogie board that shit?”
Garrett with ultimate mom energy: “Ryan, of course you could if you believe in yourself”
Favorite part of the episode
Anything possible if you believe in the magic of friendship ✨️
15:14
I literally laughed out loud. Loved it!
@@grac4808rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
this was my first episode of puppet history. if they all have songs as literally good as this one does it'll probably be my new binge watch
UPDATE: THEY DO!!!!!
Im binge watching now. I had no idea there were songs .That Asmodeus song … wow 🤯
Ayyy this was my first too
(Oops, accidently forgot to count this one)
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 1.5 points and Garrett had 5. The guest won fairly
had Ryan won any?
when Ryan almost got that the Spanish Flu was the answer and switched to prohibition I SCREAMED
I cannot believe how he got to that answer in such a weird way and then just shouted "prohibition!"
I was gonna say communism
@@andreapitre1978 Oh yeah true, Bolshevik revolution would have been going on at the time
My initial answer was prohibition lmao
garrett - “you better watch your back”
the professor - “this has never happened before👁👄👁”
the girls are unioniziiing
My great-grandmother was born in 1916 and lived in central MA. She told me whenever she was in Boston during hot summer days as a young woman, the whole city would smell a like molasses, as some was still stuck in cracks and crevices and would melt in the weather.
Did she mention anything else of interest? That’s really cool.
I worked at a Sam's Club (in the late 90s), when a co-worker stacked a pallet of heavy hot cocoa mix on top of a pallet of Mrs. Butterworth syrup. After it crashed down (thankfully in the middle of the night, so no one died or was injured), it took a few days to get it mostly cleaned up. But for years, they were still finding sticky goo all over the shelving, and the smell lingered.
I can still smell the sickly sweetness, if I think about it. So yeah, I can almost empathize with the people of the North End. Thankfully, I don't have the added baggage of friends and family having died from said flood, or the pandemic, or the war that also recently happened.
This is one of those historical events that sounds comical at first, but turns out to be utterly horrifying when you actually look into it.
I laughed way too hard for a story about people drowning in syrup 😭
It’s funny, but also really devastating- you feel bad but at the same time they drowned in syrup
Don't worry, I'm from Boston, we laugh about it here too.
Same but with the explosion in the horse song
It's complicated like Garrett said 😅
@@maherawad5428 JAIL 😭🤚🏾
holy shit that backstory flashback. holy shit that horse lament. holy shit THAT ENCORE FROM GOD!!!!!!! the showmanship! this was entirely too much fun I was giggling and clapping along with Garrett the whole time. what a finale!!!
And the quick cameo from death lol
Deep breath
I was laughing so hard that my cat, who had been sleepily purring on me just moments before, jumped off angrily in a huff. Despite my trying to keep external laughing to a minimum, my belly was apparently shaking too hard for her dignity. 🤣
Is this a stroke? Was this whole think my near experience with death?
yeah if history was actually taught like this in school I may have passed! lol
Oh, Potatoes and Molasses!
If you want some, oh just ask us
They're warm and soft like puppies and socks
Filled with cream and candy rocks
Oh, Potatoes and Molasses!
They're so much sweeter than algebra class
If your stomach is grumbling
And your mouth starts mumbling
There's only one thing to keep your brain from crumbling
Oh, Potatoes and Molasses!
If you can't see 'em put on your glasses
They're shiny and large like a fisherman's barge
You know you've had enough when you start seeing stars
Oh, Potatoes and Molasses!
It's the only thing left on your task list
They're short and stout they'll make everyone shout
For Potatoes and Molasses!
For Potatoes and...
That's enough
I forgot about this until now!
IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THE REFERENCE ON THE NEWS PAPER
@@joshapologist wait the newspaper?!
@@mase5995 yeah! on one of the news papers it has the lyrics!! I love Shane for that
@@joshapologist can I get a time stamp
I lost my service dog unexpectedly a few days ago. I'm still processing my shock at losing him. In a fucked up way, thinking about him maybe being at peace to face eternity, and happy to go, and maybe going with a song ... makes me feel a little better.
Hugs to you friend.
that's awful, I'm so so sorry for your loss.
Garrett went from hanging around with Shane Dawson and Ryland to hanging around with Shane Madej and Ryan. Im glad hes out of that toxic friendship though
I see what you did there
yooo!!
@@liriodendronlasianthus lmao
I wish I could explain to you how excited I was when I heard the Professor say his name
@@PatKEllis same i always thought him and shane would get along
"..prohibition?"
"NO!!!"
actual rage lmfao
😂 I'm crying
garret is genuinely my favorite guest on puppet history, he has such an energy that works with both ryan and the professor
24:37
damn shanes klaus hargreeves s1 cosplay is really good
omg you're right
We did it boys. Ryan smiled at the ending song
And it only took a death
the fact that when garrett was friends with shane dawson etc they always shouted at him pretty much whenever he spoke because he was just trying to have fun & shit but on puppet history ryan and shane were so happy to have him on the show and listen to him talk :’)
I know, they treated him so badly, I loved seeing him so happy in this video, Shane and Ryan were so kind
Well, that's Shane Dawson and this is Shane and Ryan, the ghoul boys. I'd rather pick the ghoul boys because they're the real ghoul boys in this town and also because I firmly (/j) believe in the notion that Shane Madej is a demon and nothing is better than a demon.
But in all seriousness, I think Ryan and Shane are happy to have him happy too since that's the type of people they are. They even sang Mamma Mia on a panel once with their fans which is so cool and very heart-warming for me.
was just thinking that! it actually just made my world to see garrett being himself and THRIVING ! bless him.
well yeah, shane dawson's a piece of shit. Ryan and Shane are really nice, so they'd obviously be happy to have Garrett
For those living outside of the US and a few other countries, this big ol' dump-truck-ass tank had a diameter of 27-and-a-half metres and was just over 15 metres in height. At full capacity, it could store 9.5 million litres.
I know his name is Garrett
I know his name is Garrett
I know his name is Garrett,
but at least twice I though the prof casually addressed him as carrot
Is there any way we can get this series nominated for some sort of award? The work Shane puts in is deserving of it. Shane’s talent really shines through and I hope more people have the opportunity to recognize it.
I agree he is sooo creative! And using the comedy method to teach history....which many and sorely lacking knowledge in!.....is spectacular! If it weren't for some colorful language I'd say puppet history would be a great teaching tool for middle and high school! Talk about memorable!

Shorty awards
Streamys!
The Webby Awards! Give this show or Watcher Entertainment as a whole a Webby!
Okay but is no one talking about Shane's genie cameo and the amazing makeup look he's got going on??
It was spectacular and now we know where these puppets have been coming from
His theater kid is finally showing. It's such a trip and I love it
I started scream laughing when I realized it was Shane!! He’s so awesome
24:02
The lore continues to build.....
This story is SO terrifying. Just the thought of dead bodies being frozen in this mess is upsetting.
“Clip clop into the light” is up there with the oar duet
Garrett is bringing such a fun energy to this episode I love it!! also man it felt like this season flew by, it was a great ride
Agree
Definitely. Great contestant. Hope we see him again.
Season?wasnt it like 3 episodes
They need to bring him back!!
He also makes me want some gummy worms. So there's that, too...
okay but can we talk about how incredibly talented shane is? i mean that man is the epitome of creative genius fr fr
I know right?? This man is fucking amazing. Every damn episode is a masterpiece!!
when Death runs by at 27:52 just before the horse dies.... Shane is a genius
That “Clip Clop into the Light” song should win an award
Can we all agree that the professor's backstory is becoming hotdoga part 2
When Puppet History started we all thought it would be Ruining History reimagined.
Turns out Shane wanted to lure Ryan into a false sense of security before bringing back the Hot-daga.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him"
Didnt Ryan once specifically mention a daydream about going to see a play and the curtains open and it's just shane continuing the hotdaga in full costume?
Curtains? Check. Costume? Check. Ridiculous backstories and origins that lead into a seemingly multi-season long shadow plot? Check.
Shane actually did it, the mad bastard lol
they aimed for a boston accent but Garrett ended up doing a southern accent and Ryan ended up with a New Yorker gansta one LMAO
also are we all just gonna ignore that shane is the genie lol
The genie, what do you think is his deal?
@@AlexMartinez-gv7hy well it did say that professor turned things into musical puppet disasters ... maybe he gave him the ability when he turned prof into a puppet ???? just throwing theories
I have realized Professor McNasty is a Loki, yall can't prove me wrong
“Ryan thanks for tryin’” pretty much sums up his time on Puppet History tho ✋😭
Garrett and Ryan teaming up on the professor is everything I’ve ever wanted. Tenure does not make you immune to these hands professor!
Mutiny!
Ryan- “But do you think I could boogie board that sh*t?”
Garrett- “Ryan, of course you could if you believed in yourself”
What wholesome idiots 😂🖤
:>
It has now been 104 years since the great molasses flood
As a native Bostonian I can confirm that I do indeed speak in a very heavy southern accent
So bummed it's already the season finale. 😥🥺 Thank you all for another wonderful season of content. Can't wait for the next season!!!
100% agree.
we need 30 episodes a yr atleast. for our sanity. please
This makes me cry.. I look forward to these like a baby does a bottle..
Same this is one of the best parts of my week
I need an episode everydayyyy I’m needy I wish I could this makes me so happy.
Nobody:
The first 2 minutes of this episode: YOU GET A HISTORY POINT, YOU GET A HISTORY POINT, EVERYBODY GETS A HISTORY POINT
EXECPT FOR RYAN
*Garrett:* "And zero horses died because they are great swimmers."
*The Song:* "Hello, I am God, you, a horse, are super f*cking dead and so are all the other horses in the area lol."
Garret has the energy of a mysterious Fey being whos been in this world long enough to effectively interact, but still radiates that wild, chaotic energy of his homeland. And im here for it
Me seeing the Professor in season one: Well look at this puppet I'm sure he's a nice and respectable academic.
In season two: Well seems like he also travelled through time and fought a genie, that's quite a backstory.
Me now: Look at this bastard going to take this horse's corpse off the grounds of his theatre.

"The first death we've had on the show."
Boys, you literally had Death on the show.
Technically, death was already dead 🤔
@@gothicgurl27ify is death dead? I thought death just DID death.
Water is not wet, and thus Death is not dead
Guys he didn't say the first DEAD on the show, he said "the first death". Death is not dead, but Death sure is death.
Ryan: "[My dad] is a scary dentist....."
Ryan and Shane: * thinking about how Ryan's dad might have cut someone's head off *
Haha, which episode was that? I know I remember it.
@@riversong4997 I believe the meme of Ryan's dad as a scary dentist who has Done Some Shit began in the Bobby Mackey episode of BU Supernatural because in that episode they discuss someone who was murdered by a boyfriend who was a dental student at the time.
"I'm God, ya banana head!"
Garrett: *nods approvingly*
Professor: “I think that’s the first death we’ve ever had on this stage.”
Me: Except. You know. Death himself.
And Ryan’s sanity and hope dying in his eyes every-time he’s denied the cup full of jellybeans
which I loved Death's cameo in this one
Not to mention the several hundred chopped up people in the Titanic episode XD
Are we just gonna ignore that Garrett thought the boston tea party happened in the 1920s i-
He probably meant the political party
Or the teapot dome scandal
He didnt say he thought it happened in the 20s, he said it was one of the few things he knew about Boston period
RIGHT
Shane's presentation style is immaculate, really good at building that tension.
I swear puppet history needs to do a world tour. Can you imagine a concert with thousands singing along to Shane's songs? 🙌🏻 🥲
the professor: do a scene of two lovers
ryan: threatens garrett's character
I feel like this is Period Ricky Goldsworth
@@rebeccaworster2912 yesss lol
Is anyone else mesmerized by the extremely soft, aqua fur of the Professor? He's the color of a hitchhiking ghost.
Plot Twist: he's happy haunt 100
@@missybarbour6885 Swinging from teh chandelier!
That's what my hair looks like
I'm sorry... the color of a what?
Say what now.
No wonder Ryan has a perfect smile. His dad is a dentist 🌸
Honestly, looking back..this episode is the pinnacle of Puppet History, this is the shows masterpiece, Loudon and Emu War come close, but this..this is everything that Puppet History is, will and was. It takes everything we love about it and cranks it up to 100, this is possibly the BEST finale out of all the finales, and..this makes me wonder whats gonna be next for this wonderland of a webseries!
Season 5, don't fail me now!
Please tell me you’ve watched the dinosaur episode, it made me sob
“this is the first canonical death we’ve had on the show”
goddamn that foreshadowing
the professor manicly giving out random history points the same way dumbledore does with house points 😭😂
Don't forget the personal bias like Dumbledore too
I was SO excited to see this thumbnail! I did a final presentation on this event in a college class as an excuse to recreate the flood on a scale model. When it came time to play the video for the “flood” I added old timey music to it which my teacher LOVED!
This is the best episode. It is objectively the best song too. Man that performance was absolutely incredible. 10/10. Garrett is the best possible vibes. Even when threatening each other, only warm feelings in this episode. Warm like thick, sticky molasses on a summer day.
"your spine is blue as well, professor ?" "oh i'm ALL blue baby" "ok weird 😐"
GOODBYE
If the professor is all blue, then he also got blue blood... Which means he's royal :eyes:
Petition for Ryan to include The Professor's past in an episode of 'Are you scared?' Genie edition!
FR
I love the little Steamboat Willie animation, but with molasses hahah, brilliant :)
I've never been so happier for Garrett in my life cuz I feel like he loves this
The fact that Shane was nice to Garrett when he forgot what letter his answer was instead of making fun of him makes me smile. idk it just does lol
Shane seems like such a cool dude, honestly
after seeing the *other* shane be so mean to garrett every time he got excited or forgetful or anything, its so fkn refreshing, ghoul boys for life
As a Brit who definitely could not name every state of America, I honestly thought Molasses was a state for a minute
It might be :)
That's actually hilarious :') I don't blame you lol
To be frank Molasses sounds exactly like a state in America, don't blame ya.
🤣🤣🤣 as an American that's so funny to hear. I genuinely does sound like a state tbh
And people make fun of Americans for not knowing geography.
Garrett is my favorite guest thus far, I really hope he comes back again
just the ramblings of a madman here but i was wondering what the state of the body that was found four months later was like. was he encased in hardened molasses like those bugs in amber? i like to imagine the person who found him looked around and when they saw no one around they licked it like a salt lamp. i assume it would be like a huge piece of rock candy or one of those lollipops with a bug in it.
may I contribute to the ramblings and think it would be like anaerobic preservation so basically they’d be mummified, it would be like the monks that self mummified in honey!!! MOLASSESS MUMMY????
As someone who knows a lot about the molasses flood, I'm really pleased with how they presented this tragedy. It's so often joked about but it really was a horrific, avoidable tragedy that could have been prevented of not for corporate greed.
A tale as old as time sadly.
Good thing we live in the future where preventable problems are always prevented and no one ever gets lazy or complacent.
Yep. Glad we don’t have to deal with strange and preventable issues.
Mhm.
One of my favorite stories of Boston. It's an incredibly terrifying story but it just doesn't seem real!
As usual, the real villain of this story is capitalism.
@@kingalfred2014 why is it always capitalism ☹️
Theory: the “magic of theatre” and the skits are really just the professor time travelling to that exact point in history. The whole puppet history series is just a side gig as he tries to escape the genie.
Yes I just also have the same theory as The Professor has seen everything in history and these are the times he’s messed things up
@@toobeast5485 what if the Professor is telling us what happened after he intervened? Like, he's time travelling and accidentally putting things right that have got all twisted up and messed up in the timeline?
What if the Professor is.... a Time Puppet?? 'Professor' is one of Dr Who's nick-names ....
And the musical numbers?
@@greatvalue_ethelcain Well, in the whole genie skits we had (wich was adorable btw) we see that by traveling and messing with time, the professor turned some things nd beings into puppets, possibly by giving them jellybeans, just like he did with Garrick.
So the songs might be the things and being the professor brought to puppet form being invited for the show to tell their stories as musical guests!
@@lollabunyxxx Does that mean he turned god into a puppet? did god receive a jelly bean?
the plethora of accents used for bostonians here is *chef’s kiss* 🤌 as a bostonian, can confirm, took me years to figure out what the accent is
10:28 as a person who's lived on the east coast their entire life i can confirm that ryans characterization is accurate
we've had it wrong this whole time, shanes not a demon. he's a genie, who has finally caught the proffessor and is making him play along as part of his modern day youtuber persona.
OH MY GOD YOURE RIGHT
WAIT A MINUTE
Well genies can be pretty malevolent-
Genies actually are a form of demon so :))
As the person before me stated; Genies (or jinn) are essentially demons, so yeah...
..not too far off from the OG theory~
