Originally released August 13th, 2018.
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: In which a living pitcher of sugar water says hi to Benjamin Franklin. - Комедії
"Steal all the tea in Boston, and make the Boston Tea Party the thirstiest party ever"
Uh last time I checked the Colonists threw the tea into the harbor and then set the ships on fire, they didn't drink the tea
I'm thinking the colonists that was going to throw the tea in the harbour will said "Welp we're done! On to the Revolution."
The colonist just destroyed the tea. They didn't break anything else except for a lock that they replaced. Where did you hear that they burned the ships?
@@connorrivers995 Ships even back then were expensive to build after all. Burning them is a big no-no especially if you can capture it later.
KOOL aid man: of course i knew that why do you think a that hunk of junk was capable of time travel or how that professor was so conveniently there with a time machine
13:51
“Big Thirstie is ALL WET! He’s completely useless now!”
-Phelous
Isaac Mayer Old Man: EEEEEEEEE!!!!
Wabuu: Most of the Kool-Aid Man comics are sooooooo stooopid!
Perhaps we can stop the thirsties by giving them DIAMONDS! OK?
CWDTrixie Be Diamonds!
insert dirty joke here
@@andrewollmann304 hey now there Wabu don't count the first two issues out yet XD I for one am entertained by the madness.
Imagine how different Hamilton would be if the Coolade Man was a part of it.
Me, typing: “lol Linkara looking up at the title sur-*”
Linkara: “yes I know that’s not where the title is on YT! I’m looking up on my own site!”
Me: *hastily tapping backspace*
The comic writers do know that the Boston Tea Party was protest event where the people of Boston destroyed 400+ crates of tea and dumped them into the harbor right? They can't be that stupid.
Connor Rivers see I was confused on this too but I'm Canadian so when Lewis didn't bring it up I was really lost
"Yes, we'll ruin the Boston Tea Party by enacting the Boston Tea Party ourselves!"
"My pwan is gweat!"
Connor Rivers if I remember correctly some people did drink the water was tea was dumped and called it freedom tea.
It was salt water, so...I think you might have heard a joke, and believed it. Though, a bunch of people drinking salt water and calling it 'freedom tea' would explain some of the actions that we don't like to talk about during that time. :p
I'm thinking the colonists that was going to throw the tea in the harbour will said "Welp we're done! On to the Revolution."
Wow, no "Space is warped and time is bendable" MST3K clip here? Shocking.
We need a Kool-Aid Man and Mr. T cross-over comic, they can both smash through walls with impudence.
Throw in Randy Savage, and you got yourself a trinity of awesome on par with Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman
I prefer chuck Norris and Mr t crossover
"I don't trust anyone I can DRINK."
Linkara would make a very devious vampire, based on that out-of-context quote.
They landed in Philadelphia. They traveled to Boston.
That should have taken days.
Hell, In 1789, it took George Washington a week to get from his home near where DC would be built to New York to be inaugurated president.
Even today, getting between Philly and Boston in less than six hours you’re ether lucky or breaking the speed limit the entire way.
Secondly, I don’t think the person who made comic this understood what the Boston Tea Party was about, since he makes it sound like getting rid of the tea would be a problem, when tossing it in the harbor, destroying it, in protest was the point.
I think you're putting *waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy* more thought into the inner mechanics of this comic than even the writers did; just saying...
OF COURSE! DON’T YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT history!?!?
Pokejoseph wouldn’t that be “history”?
metropod fixed
Founding Fathers: "Oh, they're just doing it for us? This is great! Now we have so much more time to plan out the next battle. Lets just leave this to them then, we've got a war to win, guys!"
Kool-Aid Man: "We must protect these drinks! FOR AMERICA!!!"
Okay, what? The whole POINT of the Boston "Tea Party" was to get RID of the tea to protest the taxes! By saving it, the Kool-Aid Man and those stupid kids ALTERED history!
Now this is making me think that our timeline required the Thirsties to go back and pilfer the tea, and thus they were the true heroes all along.
11:42 Also FYI: Paul Revere was one of several riders that night, and contrary to what the Longfellow poem would have you believe, he didn't make it; He was stopped by the British at a checkpoint. It was a man named Samuel Prescott who was able to warn the colonials at Lexington and Concord about the British attack. Not only that, he never said "The British are coming!" Rather, his warning was that "the regulars are moving out!" because "regulars" was a colloquial term used for British grunts at the time.
“COOL AID MAN IS A MENACE, GET ME PICTURES OF COOL AID MAN!”
11:46: Um...why is anyone involved even worried about this...? The writers of the comic are aware that the Boston Tea Party...wasn't...an actual tea party, right? Angry sun monsters dumping the tea WOULD slightly change history, sure, but probably not anywhere close to the amount Kool-Aid Man thinks it will.
I like to think that the Thristies took it literally like the kids from Histeria!
"Also, WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU?!"
I lost it so hard there.
More of linkara’s sanity dropping.
+Stefan Sharak
Dropping faster than a bowling ball from a high rise building.
And I expect his sanity to keep dropping for as long as he reviews these comics.
Need to get him some "Liquid Courage" before the screen starts going buggy...
Oh no, we have to wait for that next week.
His sanity has already gone since the OMD review
Kid with Kool Aid Man: We may never celebrate the Fourth of July again
Me: I think the more important concern here is that if the Thristies change the course of history then we may never get Hamilton on Broadway
(On an unrelated note, disappointed that this comic doesn't have Hamilton in it, he did arrive in New York around 1772 so...?)
Yeah, but Franklin wasn't in Boston at that time either
The first few seconds of this already tells me this going to be a funny ass review.
The comic implies that the Boston Tea Party was an actual party. And that by destroying all the tea beforehand, the Thirsties ruin it. Despite the fact doing just that would simply be completing the act of organized protest early. It's... really stupid. In reality, the Thirsties should've been handing out tea to everyone for free but that run countermand to their mandate and this comic is stupid.
The Thirsties aren't the smartest bunch. The only reason why they accomplish anything is because people are incompetent and too dependent on the Kool-Aid Man.
Thank you! Seriously that was my first thought and even by 3rd or 4th grade, at the latest, I'd expect most kids would know that.
I'm thinking the colonists that was going to throw the tea in the harbour will said "Welp we're done! On to the Revolution."
Also fun fact: part of the US has a big coffee culture is because they started drinking coffee in protest because it wasn’t taxed under the stamp act. But then again the Thirsties wouldn’t use that either since...well it’s not something you drink when you’re thirsty LOL
Actually, the Boston Tea Party was the result of the British government's attempts to counter smuggling of cheap Dutch tea into the American colonies! This lead to the Tea Act, which received the assent of King George on May 10, 1773. This act restored the East India Company's full refund on the duty for importing tea into Britain, and also permitted the company, for the first time, to export tea to the colonies on its own account. This would allow the company to reduce costs by eliminating the middlemen who bought the tea at wholesale auctions in London. Instead of selling to middlemen, the company now appointed colonial merchants to receive the tea on consignment; the consignees would in turn sell the tea for a commission. In July 1773, tea consignees were selected in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Charleston. The Tea Act in 1773 authorized the shipment of 5,000 chests of tea (250 tons) to the American colonies. There would be a tax of £1,750 (equal to £237,993 today) to be paid by the importers when the cargo landed. The act granted the EIC a monopoly on the sale of tea that was cheaper than smuggled tea; its hidden purpose was to force the colonists to pay a tax of 3 pennies on every pound of tea. Additionally, several of the protesters were colonial merchants (
including some smugglers)! Because the Tea Act made legally imported tea cheaper, it threatened to put smugglers of Dutch tea out of business. Legitimate tea importers who had not been named as consignees by the East India Company were also threatened with financial ruin by the Tea Act. Another major concern for merchants was that the Tea Act gave the East India Company a monopoly on the tea trade, and it was feared that this government-created monopoly might be extended in the future to include other goods.
When you call him a menace, I can't help but imagine JJ saying it, which in turn just makes me think cool-aid man must be someone who works for you in secret. quick Linkara, who's your best, but worst paid employee who always getting you pictures of that blasted kool-aid man? Does he have a tendency to break things and say "oh yeah!"?
Actually if you watch it in landscape mode on your phone it is above you
And in full screen too.
You just just gave me the image of the Kool-Aid Man trampling Al, Mickey, and Lucy to death. Thank you. I'm sick and I needed that.
Damn, linkara about to start a flame war over Dr Pepper
(is okay with his favorite personalities not sharing opinions)
+Tareltonlives
*SAME!!!*
Tareltonlives is joke, yes
Eh. Not a big deal. It's just Dr. Pepper. He's not even a real doctor.
I know it isn't everyone''s thing but Cherry Dr. Pepper is good. Now if only I could find it outside a Freestyle machine on a regular basis.
should we tell the Thirsties that the Boston Tea Party is in fact NOT an actual Party where they drank tea? I mean I want to but I feel it would break their hearts...
Remember kids, that's why you have to pay some attention to your history classes
god bless, it now I legit want to see Godzilla fighting the Kool-Aid Man... heck im now curious how do you make Kool-Aid Man win
Just wait til Avengers 4 when even Captain Marvel can't stop Thanos and all seems lost until.....
"OH YEAH!"
The Thirsties' plan doesn't even make sense. The Boston Tea Party was already getting rid of the Tea! They just fulfilled history, they wouldn't have changed anything!
But the intentions were different. When the Boston Tea Party got rid of the tea, it was as a message of protest to the British regarding their taxes. When the Thirsties tried it, it was just to be assholes. Since the Thirsties are a third party in all of this (not affiliated with the colonists in any way), the impact their actions would've had wouldn't have affected those taxes in any way and the British would've just sent even more tea to Boston, but with tighter security, stopping any further incidents from happening.
Jonathan Szuhai well since they dressed as Natives while destroying the tea, I'm going to say that the Colonists can still take credit. The colonists just claim to have been Thirsties. XD
Okay after watching this a few times. I think I know why Benjamin Franklin didn't freak out at seeing the Kool-aid Man. As Linkara points out at the end of the episode, this could very well be the Marvel Universe. Given the insanity that is the Marvel Universe, and probably the huge amount of time travel plots that have sent various heroes back to the American Revolution...I think the Kool-aid Man might very well NOT be the weirdest things the founding fathers have ever encountered in their time.
Franklin: (looks at pipe) I don't RECALL putting hemp in this thing
Fun fact: In the Marvel Universe Ben Franklin was a Skrull. Of course he wouldn't see anything odd about the giant living pitcher of sugary liquid.
Actually, even then he should probably ask a few questions.
"They're having more fun than anyone should be allowed to have! We'll have to put a stop to that!"
"Quick, go start a conversation about politics!"
i mean, this isn't the weirdest Ben Franklin's life has ever been.
Wanderingsage7 I hate this historical inaccuracy. Ben franklin was shorter than he is depicted here
0:30
The 'looking up' gag actually still works if you're watching the video on fullscreen.
2:58 "relief PITCHER" ugh. I just got that. From one of my favorite episodes, made 9 years ago. Oi.
Let's see, Philadelphia to Boston is about 300 miles, so...yeah, they totally killed that horse.
7:40-8:00 this is the Marvel Universe. Civilian people blaming each other, children trying to be logical and a superhero just HAPPENS to be in earshot
Thirsties: "We're going to wreck the Boston Tea Party by stealing all the tea!"
Revolutionaries: ". . .could you dump it in the harbor while you're at it?"
Seriously, talk about not understanding history. *facepalm* But then again, this IS a promo comic for Kool-Aid, not a PSA Hell. And yes, it's far from the worst comic you've reviewed, but still -- the dumb just flows off this thing in a red sugary stream. (Also, is the Kool-Aid man unable to put down that smaller pitcher of Kool-Aid he's always carrying? DEAR LORD, IS IT PART OF HIS HAND?!)
Actually it makes sense for the Professor to write "Time Machine" on his time machine if he's bringing it to a large outdoor party: don't want anyone mistaking it for a particularly fancy porta-potty.
“Time travel is impossible!” Yeah, the Kool-Aid man is completely believable!
Godzilla was probably too busy doing gigs with Dr. Pepper to give a damn about fighting the Kool-Aid Man.
And Linkara continues to be the Kool-Aid Man's personal J Jonah Jameson
Here’s one for the next “Missed Opportunities” list - they changed the first names of the kids in the camping adventure story!
In the first issue, it was Sigmund Smart, Cynthia Crystal, Mickey Richardson and Gloria Green...but in this comic, it’s now Stevie Smart, Caren Crystal, Mark Richardson and Mary Green.
GREAT CONTINUITY!!
The title is above you when you're watching this on the UA-cam app on PS4
Jesse Vargas and androids
Actually the technical term is cyborgs.
‘I have a time machine, it helps me travel across time’- 50’s McCheerios
"This is all your fault, Harry."
Well, I guess Phoenix Wright will never be out of work with the Thirsties around.
I feel like the "they just didn't care" clip would've been incredibly appropriate throughout this video.
The Thirsties are basically a gang of Dans from Dan Vs.
It will be okay, Linkara. Don't go insane.
Me: why are you looking at the top if the title's on the bottom?!?!?!?!
Linkara: ANSWER @0:21
Linkara: Did the Kool Aid Man put mind control drugs in the Kool Aid?
Me: Did the Kool Aid Man read up about Jim Jones?
Linkara does a good impression of the Kool-Aid man.
Kool Aid Man is the hero this website needs....not the one it deserves...
"Back to the Gazeeeeebo!" (Rhett and Link did a mini show called "Time Rangerers" where they were puppets and they time traveled in a Gazebo.)
“I’m looking at my own website!!!” He’s still got it😂😂😂
Surprisingly missed opportunity to reference “drinking the Kool Aid”
This comic summed up in one word: "phrasing!"
Speaking of the Kool-aid man, I love it that someone on the Onyx Path publishing forums for the current edition of World of Darkness wrote out a playable version of him using Beast The Primordial and he is as sanity destroying and terrifying as Linkara predicted.
LupineShadowOmega source please??
Not sure of the exact thread, but check the Onyxpath publishing Beast The Primordial Board and look through the character collections that are pinned. He's in there and I remember being both surprised that someone's immediate idea was Kool-aid man and freaking delighted at the same time. Someone also made a horror Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, in short Beast allows for some amazing characters and Onyx Path is just full of tons of wonderful folks.
Professor Klein?! So meeting the Kool-Aid Man sent him into a spiral of madness that made him achieve his doctorate and become a researcher for Big Mountain!
Am going to watch this on every fourth of July
You want Godzilla vs. the Kool-Aid Man?
...So, Godzilla eats the Kool-Aid Man, and the Kool-Aid Man will burst out of Godzilla's chest yelling "OH YEAH!!!"
Are you sure that's what you want?
Not just Godzilla neither. The Hyborian Age from Conan the Barbarian is a canon part of the history of the Marvel Universe (even though I'm pretty sure they don't own the license to him anymore), and since Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft mutually agreed at some point that their stories took place in the same shared universe, that means that not only the entire Conan series but the entire Cthulhu Mythos takes place in the Marvel Universe. Now, I'm not saying the Kool-Aid Man is an avatar of Nyarlathotep, but...
This was a fun one. Buuut, I would've liked to see a short comment from Linksano, criticizing Klein's irresponsibility.
If the Thirsties wanted to ruin Independence Day, why didn't they target the signing of the Declaration of Independence? That took place in a stuffy courtroom in the middle of summer before Air Conditioning was invented. Plenty of opportunity to make people thirsty.
SOMEBODY OPEN UP A WINDOW
Oh hey you got the silver play button, nice
"I'm also hot and thirsty." -- Benjamin Franklin, probably
So... A lot of people rightly pointing out that the Boston Tea Party was a protest in which they destroyed the tea and didn't drink it. Less of them who realize that actually *dumping* the tea was the entire point. It was a protest against the East India Trading Co. getting special treatment by the British government and entirely designed to be a giant middle finger to them by trashing their product. If the Thirsties just steal it, the protest doesn't happen. It's the difference between stealing a bunch of controversial books as a protest and hiding them and stealing said books then filming yourself setting fire to them. Sure, the first is annoying, but, if anything, it just makes the company think people *really* wanted that book. The second sends a much clearer message.
13:54 "Big Thirsty is all wet" - so much unintentional innuendo
My prayers have been answered. The first kool-aid man comic review was actually my favorite review of his for the longest time, you know? And now he's reviewing more of them. And right from the first few seconds I can tell this is gonna be good.
Comic book logic: Guy invents a time machine, and instead of being showered with Nobel Prizes, and revolutionizing science and society to its very core, and getting to the front cover of every magazine, publication and newspaper in existence, and TV talking about him 24/7... he instead just casually keeps it in his back yard and shows it to kids.
OTOH, this is also par for the course for Disney comics, so it's not like it's unprecedented.
As a fan of history, this comic hurts my brain to think about
12:21 I drink tea when I am thirsty and hot, it's called ice-tea
10:28 oh Linkara, considering how much a freak 'ol Benji was, you think a giant sapient pitcher of sugar water would faze that man?
Hey, Linkara. Thanks for the great episode! I had a bad day (on my own birthday, even), but this really helped make my night after a long day of stress and chaos that put me in a really bad mood. Keep up the good work, dude!
Loved the Wendy’s training video call back
Whiz Kids Vs. Kool-Aid Krew, who will win?
Given Ben Franklin's reputation with women, "hot and thirsty" take on a whole new meaning!
Dear linkara I want to say thank you for helping me get threw some dark times in my life. Sense I suffer form a multitude of Disabilities of the mind with depression being a big one your videos has helped me get threw to the next day so form the bottom of my heart thank you
10:55 uh, guys? That changes almost nothing. They... didn’t actually... drink tea at the Boston tea party...
I've been waiting for this day for nine years.
You know, this could of all been avoided if the people in this comic brought water, lemonade, orange juice and apple juice instead of Kool-Aid to the 4th of July picnic.
Kool Aid Man knew Benjamin Franklin? That explains the gout
*ANOTHER ONE?!?!?*
Who knew, that more than one kool-aid man!
#TheCrazinessContinues
No matter what rich insanity you manage to find, Linkara always seems to find worse. This is Mystics In Bali level shit.
Nice intro.
Today is great. I watched new Doom eternal gameplay, re-watched Warbringers: Jaina, and now a delightful video from Linkara.
Is that a UA-cam award? You've earned it.
I like to think Kool-Aid Man is a future incarnation of the Doctor
cross over?
More kool aid man? Oh yeah!
That child wanted to drink tea. He is a British sympathizer. He is in for a rough time before this war is over.
I was thinking Blair Witch *right* before he said it!
Next time: Welcome back from Summer Break, Linkara!
"hot and thirsty" is a pretty good description of Franklin, tbh
In your defense, on my Blu Ray Player where I watched this, once the video starts, title moves to the top, so either one works. 😉 Thought I remembered mum and dad having more than 1 Kool-Aid Man comic, and I somewhat remember reading this when I was a little girl. Also, nice horror references in the second story. 👍 And yeah, Godzilla VS Kool-Aid Man would be quite the comic. Anyways, thank you.
One of my favorite episodes finally gets a sequel!
The Doctor regenerated into the Kool Aid Man. That's the one thing that would explain it....but also make thing make even LESS sense
6:03
To quote Phelous and Lupa "IT'S A TIME MACHINE!"
Why would a Time machine have such specific years in control? Why those years in particular?
10:15 Oh my god. This panel exists. This comic exists.
THE BOSTON TEA PARTY WASN'T A DECISIVE EVENT! IT WAS ONE INCIDENT IN A LOOOOONG SERIES OF RIOTS AGAINST THE SHIPPING DUTIES AND THE EIC'S MONOPOLY! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FOURTH OF JULY! HOW ABOUT HAVING THE THIRSTIES, I DON'T KNOW, MAKE IT TOO HOT FOR PEOPLE TO SIGN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OR MAKE THOMAS JEFFERSON PASS OUT FROM DEHYDRATION?!! "♫Somebody open up a window! ♫"
How does that horse support the weight of the Kool-Aid man, anyway? If he has a mass strong enough to burst through a-oh forget it....
12:29 That's brilliant
LOL Good call remembering that this was in December. Forgot about it.
Wait, if the Thirsties also stole the EIC tea, doesn't that mean they also PERPETUATED the Boston Tea Party?
All the drinks in Boston are gone? That sounds like a job for SAMUEL ADAMS! But that beverage company isn't sponsoring this comic.
Just hit me-two teams in each comic....this is like Youngblood!
LOL Jason Vorhees
To get Godzilla to fight Kool Aid Man, it would mean it would be on behalf of Dr. Pepper. Whose side would you be on?
I have to say this in reply "It's hot as hell in Philadelphiaaaa"
@@carlrood4457 SIT DOWN JOHN!
10:12 It was likely a radio the kid was listening to.
While I hate to give this comic any credit... at 10:35 you point out it might've just been a hot day and Benjamin Franklin was thirsty... but you later mentioned that the Boston Tea Party happened in December, so if this is at the time of the Boston Tea Party, the day being really hot would be an indicator of the Thirsties presence. It'd also explain why the kids aren't freezing in summer clothes.
i want christopher nolan to make a dark and gritty koolaid man movie where at some point he has to use his shattered spiky remains of a glass arm to stab someone brutally and then he has to reforge his arm with like real bright orange glowing liquid glass but he totally feels the pain of the heat like he has the sensitivity of a normal human
Kool-Aid Man is the next Doctor. Oh yeah.
It's still on top when full screening the episode
Waiting for the mega crossover where the Anti-Monitor destroys all the Twinkies while Thanos increases the temperature of the sun, and Cobra Commander releases a computer virus on the universe.
That intro interruption was perfect!
Some of Alan Moore's best work in my opinion.
XDDDD I was just about to comment on him looking up when he lampshaded it xD
I think this is one of your funniest episodes ever.
Hey kids, do you want to be your own Grandparents? Oh Yeah!
Hey Linkara, the title is actually bel-
DAMMIT! He’s always one step ahead of me!
Cut to Brandon F curled up in a ball crying at the Boston Tea Party scene
Kool Aid man meeting Blair Witch would be probably release the apocalypse because of it's sheer insanity
I really want to play a DnD Warlock whose patron is the Kool-Aid man. You can summon his aid, but in bursting on the scene he will destroy something you care about.
