Shane loves history so much he really looked offended that aliens were brought up lmaoooo I feel that tbh

Betrayed by his girlfriend and his best friend lol.
i can't believe this happened twice
That's me talking about mythology with my family
But it was def aliens tho
"imagine the Whitehouse burning" *cue January 2021 nervous laughter*
this is about the rioters and how the situation could possibly get out of Hand idk
Those rioters were sent by the Democrats who refuse to send security when Trump requested
@@realcanadiangirl64 Oh, are we playing "Say the opposite"? If so, what a brilliant summation of what really happened that isn't the slightest bit insane.
@@realcanadiangirl64 really? Seriously? You actually believe that
@@realcanadiangirl64 no
Can we talk about "Your excellency, they burned your whole palace" real quick? Already very deep but there's a lot more to it. Washington specifically said that people should call the president "Mr. President" so that he was not treated like royalty in order to help establish the republic. The fact that they called Madison "your excellency" and referred to the White House as a "palace" shows how fed up they are with Madison. He's being childish asking about his library(without asking how his wife was, might I add) and these people were fed up with how self-absorbed he was. So much so, that they compared him to a king, whom they vehemently hated! Truly badass!
Hah hilarious! Love that!(Fuckin’ Madison)
Oh! Thanks for that context!
@Humble beginnings invaded is definitely the wrong term considering the americans were the ones who lived in the colony. if anything you invaded your own colonies in an attempt to stop a succession which was a response to tyrannical rule by the monarch. you were massacring citizens for no reason at all commiting war crimes left and right before the revolutionary war even broke out.
That was even Quaker Shade. So, it's even more shade considering you killed a Quaker's patience.
Good take. But I doubt they knew sarcasm then…
Kinda sad they failed to mention that the White House was actually pink at the time
Dumblekitty Wha- wait really?
What
i wanna see a pink house
I thought it was blue. My dad told me the story when I was little and he said it was blue. It could've been pink, but I'm glad that someone knew it wasn't white.

I read this comment both before and after watching the video and it drastically changed how I read it lol.
BUZZFEED I WANT MORE WEIRD HISTOR SO I DONT HAVE TO KEEP REWATCHING THE SAME 8 VIDEOS
M N THIS^^
YSBKSKSKS EXACTLY OH MY GOD
this still stands ^^^
SAAMMMEEEE!!!! I'VE WATCHED THESE VIDEOS 20 TIMES EACH!!!!!
SOMEONE SAID IT
just to clarify, "dinner" was, at the time, the word they used for "lunch" and they commonly would eat later in the afternoon then we do now. So, what we consider "dinner" today, they called "supper"
Here in Wales we still call it supper
They had tea in the UK
Thank you, I was hoping one of them knew that, but nobody said anything
Actually dinner was, and still is, defined as the main meal of the day.
It is just a cultural shift that that meal is now supper (the evening meal) and was the midday meal then. Not just a synonym for lunch. I would guess the cost of lighting to illuminate a large evening meal was part of the reason the midday meal was the main one. Eating a smaller meal wouldn't require the ceremony and associated lighting in the dark.
When Ryan says, "well maybe next time do alittle more research" 😂😂😂
Shane is always saying that in unsolved
my history teacher: so this leads us into the war of 1812 dur-
me: [maniacal laughter mixed with internal crying because when is ruining history coming back]
Just Liza ☝️
I just have a mental image of Madison crying will cannons are firing and Alexander Hamilton's ghost just dying of laughter
I love this comment
Yes oml
HAHA
And Laurens drawing mustaches on the sleeping soldiers while Philip and Washington looked on.
Well, we all know what would have happened if Ham was there... And alive

Sarah Dowling that actually wasn’t a rule at that time
Sarah Dowling nope, he could have been president for life but he didn’t want to be president anymore after 2 terms. it wasn’t officially a rule that a president can’t serve for more than 2 terms until like the 1900
"Everyone get out of my way, I just wanna sit and feed my birds"
C.o.R (Lex) omg😂 I was gonna quote Hamilton than I saw this comment
The sheer tenacity in Ryan’s face when he said “...ghosts are scarier” is *BOLD*
Shane discussing facts & history
Ryan cranking his spirit box 😂
it is funny how afraid so many Americans are of ghosts, when a. they can't be proven there's no physical evidence of them (footage and photos can be doctored), and b. there's even less evidence they can actually do us any harm. and yet, whenever i think there might be a ghost around, i start praying and get afraid lol. i guess its just fear of the unknown being stronger than fear of what we've already faced, the mind is a funny thing. love the name Ariana btw
@@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075 you know every other culture, like Asia and such, has very very active ghost stories
@@m1ssmessy yeah, and very active religion stories, and beliefs about what's ok and not about sex, and race, and what kind of food we eat, or what kind of job is good to have. people believe what they want, but nobody knows. we all just make it up as we go. life is a rollercoaster.
"we are born of idiocy" is def true and a mood

That is the most wrong statement ever
"They year was 1812...obviously"
Later:
"It was 1814..*
Yeah i was confused about that.. so what is it?
The war started in 1812, but ended in 1814 with the events described here.
Broadway Bri 31 actually in 1815 was the battle of New Orleans where Andrew Jackson only lost 71 men while killing 2,000 British soldiers
@@Coolgiy67 Actually the peace had already been signed and so technically the battle of New Orleans isn't part of the war of 1812, but just a random fight. Although both forces involved were unaware the war was over so in that sense yes
Josiah Coney yah I would say it is apart of the war because that’s what the 2 sides were fighting for. But I see what you mean cause the war had ended like a month before the battle took place lol so everyone died for no reason basically.
I love how dolly saved washington’s portrait and now her own portrait is across his always watching out for him.
Shane gave SUCH “high school history teacher” vibes with the “I am not going to entertain this any further” 😂

It was so funny to watch them all know nothing about this war... As a Canadian, I learned about this war pretty much every two years in elementary school
I'm also Canadian and learned about this war a few times in history class, and one history teacher told us "If you ever ask an American about this war they probably won't know anything because Americans want to deny that it ever happened"
@@hollymathews3264 lmao I'm an American and I deadass didn't know that the White House ever burned down. I wish they would teach this in school, it's kind of important.
We don't learn about wars where we weren't a clear winner, like Vietnam, Korea, anything in the middle east, etc etc. Just the Revolution, WW I & II, and the Civil War (not sure what they learn about that one in the south though).
@@hollymathews3264 We went over it when I was in middle school. It was taught that we burned York, the British burned D.C.- and then the Battle of New Orleans happened after the treaty had been signed, with both forces unaware.
American here. Learned about it briefly in middle school, talked about the impressment, White House burning down, George Washington’s portrait being saved, star spangled banner, Native Americans having to pick sides (from what I remember).
High school ed. had slightly more but mainly focused on how afterwards America was taken more seriously as an independent nation.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Laura Secord in this. She was a Canadian during 1812 who's the reason the British forces were able to push the American troops out of their territories. Story goes, while she was living in a section of now-Canada that had been recently taken over by America's army, she overheard a bunch of soldiers boasting about a secret upcoming attack against the British army that would gain them the rest of Upper now-Canada (in their defence, the soldiers were drunk and had been in her house at the time, eating her food). Upon hearing this, Secord proceeded to trek through 20 miles of enemy territory (with her cow in some versions), and managed to outrun the American army and warn the British to get their butts into gear for the surprise attack that was coming their way. Because of her, the British were able to prepare their forces and managed to push the Americans out of now-Canada completely. Sources vary, but some people believe that if it was not for her, America might have won 1812, and Canada as a country would not exist today.
So a bunch of American a-holes were being cocky and a pain and it bit them in the butt hard. Yeah that checks out.
THE ICE CREAM LADY???

Chocolate, Laura Secord chocolate, although they do serve ice cream now too but chocolate made her business famous.
“was there ever a president who went ‘eh, too much work’?”
well, our good old friend George
went “i am tired. goodbye”
so like,,,, sorta
George Washington was a good president, til one day he said:
“I’m tired, I want to go home.”
And Richard Nixon kinda. He grew up in the town I live in so I have basically memorized that museum.
Not presidents but David Cameron and Theresa may bottled it
Jean Deibert
I’m sorry, it’s the wrong war to reference this, and I know HE was dead at this point, but.
“One last time... teach em how to say goodbye”
"Be our king!"
George: "No."
"Stay and be president till you die!"
George: "No. I want to grow tobacco and command my modest amount of slaves."
They just mention aliens just to upset Shane hahaha poor guy
Gadiel: There's no way they had rockets back then
Me: Rockets were invented in the Song Dynasty
Edit: Fact checked the dynasty name.
Rockets were invented by the ancient chinese. They fired rockets into the air on festive occasions and to ward off spirits. To whit: en.chinaculture.org/created/2005-07/21/content_70826.htm

Welp, this video got very relevant really quick
LMAOO
I love that Ryan and Sara are always with Shane and then whoever is lucky to get thrown in with them. I'm jealous.
I think it works really well! Having Ryan and Sara alongside Shane in each episode gives the series consistency, yet having two random guests also makes every episode unique and allows for some amazing commentary on these events. And yes, I also wish I could be one of those random guests.
$9,230.25 each ear and $18,460.51 for his head when you calculate USD from 1812 to 2018.

BRING THIS BACK! Why do you guys do this with the best series?? Every video in the first season has MILLIONS of views, so please bring it back. I genuinely love this series. P.S. WHEN you do bring it back, make sure Shane is still the host. Love that guy. ;)
Shane and Ryan have their own channel called watcher now, and they have a series called puppet history. :) It's similar, and it's quite fun.
This hits differently in January 2021. Turns out you don't need to be foreign to attack the most important building in Washington.
I wish history class was as entertaining as this. Probably would've actually payed attention . Nice video 🙏

I'm crying my poor heart can't take it
The reason I clicked the vid lol

The back ground screams at 18:27 become even funnier when I imagine Shane in a sound studio making those noises into a mic on his own 😂😂😂
Dolly Madison saved much more than just one photo of George Washington, including the Declaration of Independence (yes, she did that not Monroe). And she threw the dinner party knowing that the British were closing in so as to show her resolve and help make those still in Washington feel a bit more safe. She deserves more credit than she gets
Chloe Davis yeah but she's a woman in America so... haha this country is fucked
A woman anywhere. British women weren't exactly getting recognition at the time so I guess they're fucked too?
America: We'll bs our way through everything
i wish they continued this series it was so entertaining
Ryan and Shane are not at Buzzfeed anymore. They have their own channel called Watcher. Shane actually has his own series on that chanal about history and he kind of makes it like this, but as almost like a gameshow and he took like a whole week to make puppets for the show.

Filled with inaccuracies but yes entertaining.
I'm pretty sure that when they said, "your excellency they burned down your whole palace." it was mocking him. He's the emperor with no clothes asking about his library in a time like this. I think that was the context, not that they regularly referred to him as your excellency.

The war of 1812 was one of two battles you learn/are proud of in Canadian high school that we really had any major hand in.
(Then you learn the rest of Canadian history and get very sad)
Shane!! you should make an episode on the destruction of the Aztec Empire (trust me there’s guns and ships and deceit and spies and human sacrifice and disease, you’ll love it)
Yolanda Vizitiu no
Fernando Corona Yes
Yolanda Vizitiu eh
Guns and ships, you say?
So the balance shifted?
Fun facts about James Madison!
1) He was the shortest president to date, standing at 5’4!
2) James would tell the same jokes all the time, the the point that people would be far more interested in the different ways he’d tell them.
3) Speaking of his jokes, he had a pretty dirty sense of humour.
4) He really liked ice cream!
andretheinternaut omg im taller than jimmy madmanson, who knew?
and he was a HUGE hypochondriac
1. James' wife would also make jokes about his height (in a good way) and often give him piggy back rides.
2. He squealed when he was served cream puffs at dinner. Thats adorable.
same, james madison, same
Aww, smol boyo, thomas was a giant next to him
You should definitely bring these episodes back cause if these were around when I took History in school I would've taken a crap ton less naps.
"missiles" were known and used at that time ( not in a massive way because of the imprecision of its use ) , but were like modified big fireworks, made to fall on enemies formations.
I was wondering exactly what they were like, I still can't find out exactly how they were made and what they're comparable to from today. I do know that even small fireworks are effective weapons and are terrifying and destructive to be attacked with even in modern times and even where houses aren't made of wood. I imagine this is roughly what it would have been when they were flying over Madison's head ua-cam.com/video/HZM-OC0p9us/v-deo.html

Am I the only one watching this after the whole capital hill ordeal
fun fact: dolly actually ordered a fifteen year old black slave to save it and then she frickin bolted. a Frenchmen tried to help but then other servants, that were saving stuff bc dolly just grabbed silverware and ditched, ran in to the burning White House and told the Frenchmen and 15 year old Paul Jennings that the British were like ten miles out.
so then, the French servant just left along w other slaves while Jennings had decided to break the frame to save the canvas.
Dolly saved herself w these “letters” and the Madison family had a painting made to portray dolly all elegant and fancy and on the left side there’s Jennings but he looks like a middle aged man instead of the 15 yr old he was
"We were born of idiocy." -truer words have never been spoken

"Do you think they burnt my lovely book" " mate they fucking burnt everything"
“The people that took him in were obviously dummy’s any way!” As a Quaker I admire those people for upholding our values
is so cute how sara and ryan are always there to support shane
f e r while also being little shits and blaming everything on aliens to spite him.
Did they both get splinters from that set piece? They were both picking something on their arms. Also, yuck watching them pick themselves..

You learn about the war of 1812 in Canada in grade 7.
I'm in grade 7.
You just couldn't post this few weeks ago when my class was working on it.
redrose 101 I'm in grade 7 too! In Canada. And we haven't learnt about it yet
lol I’m in grade 10 and we are just now learning this. we mostly learned about local history in grades 7-9 (junior high)
i remember they taught us that canadians burned down the pink house and its a monumental time in canadian history. we are the reason why they turned the white house from pink-white LOL ur welcome americans
Yea but if they HAD kept it the 'pink house'. I dont think they would mind, It seems like they came full circle to wanting it to be pink again
Dude same
I love how each episode has Sarah in it, like obviously there's the stars Ryan and Shane, but I find it cute that Shane is just like "yeah I don't really care who else is in it other than my girl has to be in every episode" 😍
Also, Shane and Ryan are the backbone of not only buzzfeed blue but just Buzzfeed in general 💗
Dilynne H. I wish they'd take her out.
I love Sara
But who's the girl in yellow!!!! hahaha
Sarah is part of the series
Shane is the star.
