in my favorite version: its not a fish, but a dragon.
and it ends with: "forget your wife, she will never be happy. Hang out with me, your dragon bud, and my harem instead."
someone should adapt that as a "bromance becomes romance" story
I saw that tale once in a book about dragons.
What version is that? It sounds awesome. It's also fitting since the story also seems to have undertones of standing up for oneself even against a controlling spouse (if not an abusive one).
@@albatross1688 H. Gustavo Ciruelo Cabral's seminal classic: The Book of the Dragon.
The ending has a collection of short stories about dragons. Many weren't originally about dragons and so were made more about dragons.
Also the art is quite literally life changing. Much of who I am now is thanks to reading that book as a tween.
@@tyrant-den884 I'll have to look that up, thanks. :)
FISH: What is your wish?
FISHERMAN: I have none but my wife wishes for a lot.
FISH: My lawyers said that the wish should be yours and not hers. So goodbye!
This is a new politically correct version. :D I love it.
I must see these fish lawyers.
Just look up the local shark!😉
Omg I laughed too hard than I willing to admit 🤣🤣
Lmao that was to funny.
We need the messed up origins of Jon Solo. Where you talk about to messed up memories from when you were a child.
Omg lol yes
Yes please
that's therapy bestie
yes
Maybe his early UA-cam career bc its wild lol
Conclusion: You can't always get what you want. But if you try some time, you might find, you get what you need.
But do you have to go down to the Dixie drugstore?
@@TheRealNormanBates Chelsea, not Dixie.
All praise the great philosopher Mick Jagger
beautiful
Gandi once said, "Nature has enough for every man's need, but not every man's greed."
Your wife may have something to say about "Hans Dudledee Solo" :P
Yeah. You need to add a ", Esquire" at the end or it might sound silly.
Why does Hans D. Solo sound familiar? It's like I heard about it once in a galaxy far, far away.
I wonder if that was Jon's way of telling us he and the wife are expecting??
That wife was the first gold digger I have ever known. Even when I read that story as a kid I always noticed that.
Now I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke wishers......
@@bobbyanderson1054 get down girl go ahead get down
👍
A"Piss Pot" was a house that relied on income by bringing urine to tanners to survive, as urine was used to tan hides for clothes armor etc
Also used to set dyes in fabric.
I learned things today.... And I was also humbled
The more you know?🌈
🤔
Eww.
Imagine brushing your teeth in urine
First thing I thought of was a joke during one of the DBZA movies where Goku catches a giant fish who offers him a wish to be set free. Goku wishes for the fish to be his dinner.
Omg I forgot about that 😂
fish: "thank you for saving me, what is your wish?"
fisherman: "i wish for big balls"
fish: "wait what?"
fisherman: "oh, wrong story."
Hahaha
Right story?
PLEASE
I personally was excited when I saw the title of the video, as this is one of my most favorite folk tales. I grew up with the Russian version of it, and as so I want to add a few corrections- In the Russian story, the narration opens up with stating that the fisherman and his wife weren't just poor, but the bath they used for washing clothes was broken. After the fisherman caught the fish, which was described as a gold fish btw, the very first thing his wife asked him to wish for was to fix the broken bath. It only after the bath got fixed when the wife wants the fisherman to ask for a better house and better living conditions, as the bath was sort of "test of the gold fish's wish granting powers". And it's quite of an important detail too, as this bath is pretty symbolic in the Russian version, because when everything the wife wished for was taken away from her in the end of the tale, the narration of the tale closed down on the fisherman coming back to his original 'piss-poor' hat to see his wife crying over the bath, which is broken again. The bath is basically a symbol of the closed cycle in the story, not just as the wife not being satisficed with her living conditions, but also that a simple fix to a somewhat big, yet still minor inconvenience to her such as the broken down bath wasn't enough to make her happy.
Another interesting detail in the Russian version is that when the fisherman's wife asked to be a god, she aske to be very specifically to be the queen of the sea. This detail is quite important because when the wife wished for it, she didn't just want to rule over the sea, with the wish granting gold fish being one of her subjects, she actually wanted to become a wish granting deity by herself, basically getting all gold fish's powers to herself, alongside being an almighty sea queen. And just like the broken bath from the beginning of the story, this is a small but significant detail, that shows that the wife is so greedy for more power and money, that the only thing that can satisfy her materialistic thirst is for her to literally become the vey same deity that granted her wished to begin with. The wife basically didn't want power over people, she wanted power over over the mystical force made her wishes come true, and ultimately being able to grand her own wishes true by herself. And this is an especially interesting detail to note, as after wishing of basically being a wish granting deity, everything was taken back away from her, including her ability to do basic household chores. The wife couldn't do not only magic stuff, but also basic mortal's house work too, which was the very same thing that started her whole "quest for more power" to begin with. The wife started with no ability to wash her cloths clean, wished her way up to have powers similar to that of God, only to end up not being able to wash her cloths clean, which was always her one and only "true" wish.
Again, those are pretty minor details and aren't as interesting as the detail that Jon did include in the video with the wife not being able to recognize her own husband anymore, but I think they do add up a lot to the messed up part of the Russian version of this tale.
Well that's what known as power corupts were I come from.
@@emanueltorres894 Yup, that is indeed the moral of the story in the Russian version- absolute power corrupts you absolutely. It also talks about the idea that there is no such thing as enough money and enough power, but the main moral is on how too much power in untrained hands can corrupt any person.
@@viktoria_pikovsky My favorite story of uncontrolable greed is King Midas, but this story works two by showing a person that wanted everything because she thought never had anything.
@@emanueltorres894 Oh, I really love the story of King Midas too! It's a pretty tragic tale if to be honest, and I love how it's hidden moral is that you can never appreciate what you have till you lose it (in reference to King Midas accidentally killing his own daughter with his golden touch). The fisherman's story is interesting as it has an opposite moral to the King Midas tale, as it's moral is about not appreciating the gifts you are given, and thinking nothing of them, well, till you lose all of them. King Midas teaches us to appreciate the things we already own even if they aren't as expensive or as valuable as we may think of them, the fisherman's wife teaches us to to be grateful toward all the help we are given from others (especially when it's given charge free in good faith), and not ask for too much help or too many things from the people who helped us when we were in need.
I’m so glad that you talked about the Russian version, I grew up with it too!
I have read the story of the fisherman when I was way younger. I don’t recall the seas being more unstable with every wish, the fish just got more and more agitated whenever it saw the fishermen until it finally had enough of his wife’s wishes and made their house a poor hut again.
I do remember the seas getting worse every time. I just remember those details cuz I love the ocean 🌊🌊
When you look at the sub count and see Jon is has 1 million subs 🥰
being a prince or owning a house still sounded pretty nice in that stonecutter story.
“It’s a children’s book and they call their house a pisspot” Yep that sums up social acceptance of what was appropriate at the time
Edit: “No Derek that’s why your parents divorced.” 😂
Can you please do the messed up origins of a Norwegian fairy tale called East of the Sun and West of the Moon in the future?
i have spent an uncomfortable amount of time trying and failing to understand the directions in the title
Is this one in one of Andrew Lang’s fairy books? It sounds famiar
@@KatieLHall-fy1hw Yes, this was included in one of his fairy books and it was included in the Blue Fairy Book.
One of my favorites! I got a book as a child that had the MOST beautiful illustrations and I can't find another copy anywhere 😩 I always think about the ballgown in the walnut shell when I'm packing up a suitcase, too lol
"The Fisherman and His Wife" and "The Unhappy Stonecutter" were my favorite stories when I was younger! 😍
I loved, and learned a lot, from both of these!
And the Little Red Hen!
👍👍
I would’ve liked it if the wife would’ve turned into a speaking fish as well. You know: giving her the ability to do anything,... if somebody asks her for it, kinda making her some sort of god, as she asked for. That way she would taking the prince fishes place. That way the story would imply that the fish prince had the same thing happen to him and it all is some sort of cycle
This is kinda what happened in the Russian version of the tale, actually. The last wish the wife asked for is to become the queen of the sea, and either have the fish prince as her subject, or having wish granting powers herself. It's not quite the same with her becoming the fish prince (princess?) herself, but it is close enough in the idea that she did want to be a sea royalty, probably becoming a fish or mermaid too along the way, while also having the power to grand wishes just as the original fish prince.
@@viktoria_pikovsky Really? Because, if that wish really was granted, and she was permanently stuck as a wish-granting fish, that would have interesting implications regarding the fish prince himself.
@@albatross1688 The wish was not granted unfortunately, but the wife really did ask for it. The idea was that she wanted to rule over everything, land and sea, so the fish got pissed off that the wife basically wanted to be a magical fish like itself.
And yeah, it would have been a great teaching moment if that's what ended happening, with the wife becoming a fish herself, but it seems the Russian folk tellers thought it would have been too much of giving the wife what she wanted the most, and decided it would be better to end the tale with simply taking everything that was given to her away from her.
@@viktoria_pikovsky To be fair, with all these stories sharing a lot of similarities, they're probably all based on the same one that changed slightly here and there as it was told and retold across different regions over the generations. So, it probably wasn't a simple choice on the part of the Russian folk tellers, even though that would have made for an interesting twist ending.
@YaYa Indeed. Heck, maybe the Prince wouldn't have been freed, and there are multiple wish-granting fish out there, who all have the power to grant any wish, except their own. Thus, they are stuck as fish for the rest of their days. Another implication would be that it wouldn't be the fish himself punishing the wife. Technically, he would simply be granting her what she asked for.
Well, that last story definitely gives new meaning to the phrase "Waiting for the ball to drop". 😂
Wife: “Whoa, check out those huge balls! Let’s catch ‘em!”
Wife: **Grabs colossal baseball mitt**
I'd love to see Jon cover the Juniper Tree, it's my favorite Grims tale.
Ooh, yeah, that's a good one!^^
Never heard of it. Let's hope he covers it eventually
It's definitely a messed up one.
@@revan0890 *overdramatic gasp* Oh, you MUST read it! It's a good one.
@@skarlettsapphire4065 True, but that's what makes it good.
If you ever played the game Okami, there's two characters that are based off this. You should look at it for some Japanese folklore.
I think that learning more about Japanese folklore would be nice especially about Izanagi, Izanami , Amaterasu, susanoo , Kagutsuchi and Tsukuyomi.

@@tijanamilenkovic3425 the question is if there is even a Messed up origin for most of them and there is the question if it fits with the theme or kinda the vibe of the Chanel. He would’ve to make it a knew format
@@user-vo1db2gv9g I agree. Which is the reason why, there will probably never be a video on my favorite; The Little Red Hen. 😞
Toxic relationships, amirite? (Also, I’m loving the art in this one)
I mean, you're right. Makes you wonder why she married him to begin with.
I remember reading that as a kid. It’s stuck with me since. So ya I enjoy or appreciate this folklore. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Still waiting for Bearskin, Snow White & Rose Red (Not talking about Snow White it’s a different fairytale), King Grizzle Beard, The Lindorm King, and such.
I remember always hearing a version of the story where the fishermen eventually around the god wish got sick of his wife's wishes and noticed the unstable state of the sea and went back to the fish to undo all her wishes. And then the sea was calm again and everything was back to normal.
I remember that version.
Any chance you can do more Japanese Folklore? I'd love to hear you take on some of the more well-known ones come Halloween.
Ohhhhhh, Yes please
I'm so happy he got 1 million subs that I'm not even skipping his ad read
Right now I'm on bed rest because I may have a sprained ankle and your videos are making it better
Ouch! Get well soon!
Thank you
Also so you know you are my favorite UA-camr!!!
This story always confused the hell out of me as a kid.
This story confuses the hell out of me now
You *ARE* the wife!
Ikr, how does being a god make you poor?
@@mayam.235 it doesn't. She wished for too many/much so the fish took back all of the wishes.
No more nice house. No more queen. No more pope. No god-ness.
how? it’s seems easy to follow imo.
7:15 I think the moral of the story is:
“Women are _never_ happy, no matter how much you do for them”
and
“If you find a magic flounder giving out wishes, make them yourself”
or in simpler words....
“Flounders Keepers”
The moral of the story never tell your wife about a talking fish
I disagree with the misogynist sentiment. But I give a 👍 for the pun.
This conclusion could only be drawn by someone who shaves their mom's back hair
This was my favorite story growing up! I borrowed this book from the school library so many times. Thanks Jon.
I live this story! I remember reading it in German in my elementary school library, Thanks Jon!
i like that the stone cutter ended up feeling ok after all was said and done..though i'm not sure how the fisherman felt..he still had to live with his wife :-)
And, I think she'd be very angry about everything being taken from her.
This reminds me of a story that's just like this but she ends up wishing there are sausages on her husband's nose
Yeah, they both make a dumb wish & then need to use the 3rd to un-do the first 2. The Fish basically tricks them & gets away because they are stupid & greedy. That's the story I know too.
I remember that one!
I heard it when I was little. Then later I also saw it in a movie of Tom Thumb. As I recall, at the start of tale, the being that gave them the wishes said it wasn't allowed to leave them with nothing. So it undid the first 2 wishes, however, since the wishes were squandered, and had to be undone, the final wish would be very small. What they really wanted was a son. That's why Tom was so tiny.
With over 600 comments you will probably never read this, but . . . I just watched your video of November 16, 2011 and now I know what invisible magnetism drew me to your channel. You’re a fantastic example of the young people we need today. Like, right now today. The evolution of your channel is amazing. From fantasy to fiction to folklore your mind appears fixed on sleuthing out hidden truths. So when are you running for office?
happy 1 mil subscribers!!💛
Wow the Solo fam has reached 1million subs. Congratulations to the hard work, an great content that's been brought to us! Can't wait to see what's he continues to bring us.
The only one of these I knew was the unhappy stone cutter and that's literally just cause I vaguely remember watching the episode of "The Book of Virtues" where it was included.
“Fisherman Lincoln, his Girlfriend, and a Magic Fish”
Synopsis:
In a play based on the well known Grimm Brothers fairy tale, Lincoln plays a fisherman with his girlfriend Girl Jordan as the fisherman’s wife and he one day meets a magical talking fish he caught (played by Liam) who can grant him any wish. Lincoln returns to his girlfriend with not only a fresh batch of fish, but some news that he met a magical talking fish he caught from the sea that he told her, which makes Girl Jordan scream with excitement. She then asks Lincoln to go back to the sea to the fish to wish for a bigger and better house by the seaside, to which he replies and asks Liam the magic fish that his girlfriend wishes for a bigger and better house and the fish responds to the request and makes the wish come true. Lincoln and his girlfriend finally end up in a big and fresh new house complete with a boat garage for a speedboat and Lincoln’s fishing yacht. Lincoln then returns to the sea on a new fishing yacht and he encounters more friendly sea creatures who are friends with the magic fish including a sea turtle (played by Clyde), an octopus (played by Zach), a dolphin (played by Stella), a stingray (played by Rusty), a seahorse (played by Mollie), and a rainbow colored fish (played by Cici) and they along with the magic fish help Lincoln make his girlfriend happy. Lincoln makes requests to the magic fish and wishes for a fishing crew, a fish market and a seafood restaurant near the new house, the house to be a seaside resort, and other awesome stuff to make her happy. Fisherman Lincoln and his girlfriend are now happy with the new seaside resort they call home for some guests to stay at, a seafood restaurant and fish market with delicious seafood, a beach, and other awesome stuff for everyone to see. Everyone including Fisherman Lincoln, Girl Jordan, Liam the Magical Talking Fish, and everyone else live happily ever after at their new seaside port of call.
Nice rewrite! He didn't just think of himself. And she wasn't consumed by greed. Also nice details, naming everyone.
P.S. Since this is set in modern times. I hope he also wished for an honest business/law, advisor/accountant, to help with; zoning, taxes, permits, etc.
I love how we always reach the like goal, so proud of us 🙌✨✨
Do messed up origins The Count of Monte Cristo! Please! It would be great.
i honestly love the way he talks. i don’t think i’d have any trouble concentrating or understanding in school if he was my teacher 😂💕
Two dislikes from the Fisherman and his wife 💀💀
😂😂😂
I feel like the wife logged on to the fisherman's account to dislike it lol
@@darknebula7 lol, seems like something she'd do smh
All Vietnamese wife is Fisherman Wife, and they like that, what a simp.
I hate my country.
Not sure how long this was the case but congrats on 1M! 🎉🎉🎉
In German I know it as "Mann und Frau im Essigkrug" - Husband and Wife in a vinegar pot" and I loved it. But the title Fisherman and Wife is known too, so much so that I knew instantly what story you were going for.
"his name was Robert Paulson"
Thank you for that moment. It made me happy. I'd say more but ya know, you don't talk about it.
The best wish is “Contentment”. Being content no matter how bad or life gets is a blessing.
Yeah, I had come to that conclusion too. Contentment and acceptance. Then one day I thought; wait... you could find yourself totally content with your hunger, and thirst! You could end up a content corpse, leaving behind people who had loved, and relied on you.
Contentment needs to be tempered with some motivation.
Life requires balance.
@@CieJe.Alexander well yeah. Common sense tells you to never be content with abuse, neglect, or poverty. Being content with that is called Denial. Not talking about that. Talking about being content with an average existence instead of always longing for something else.
Hey Solo. Your videos are awesome!
That's my favorite Grimm fairytale. My grandpa always told me that in low German. 😆
"Buttje, Buttje in de See. Meene Fru de Isebell mook net so we kick it wel!"
LOL the moment I finished watching all his videos- and I mean all, the videos 3-4 years ago back when he wasn’t even Jon Solo, the videos where he was Johnny/Johnnygasm- I finished my a whole binge marathon, and of course he posts a new video 😂
Congratulations! 🏆
I'm working on that very goal myself.
Early days had alot of Star Wars Theories!
Slowly but surely, I'll get there, if the force is with me.
Eyes on the prize! 🏆👀
I always look forward to all your videos! They are the best way to end the week and start the weekend!❤️
Happy one million Jon, great work

Thanks for another splendid episode mr.Solo
I'm sorry but "Go home she's in her pisspot again.' just send me 🤣🤣
I can just imagine the fish being so annoyed lmao
I'm glad you're covering this tale. I've suggested this story on a few of your videos
You right, it's been a while for the Intex! Thank you for bringing it back! ☺️
My grandmother used to read this story to me. It's a well known story in North Germany and the fisherman speaks in a North German dialect (Plattdeutsch) whenever he talks to the fish. I love that they didn't translate "Pisspott" in the English version. 😂
Your videos make me so happy man
Dude! I can’t believe how your channel has blown up in the last year! Actually, I can but still...congratulations, I love your stories. 👍
Im glad you are yourself man, it's refreshing not everyone feels they have to be a tough guy.

I fear that if you name your first born that, you may truly become Jon SOLO again.
Yeah... That could potentially be the Messed up Origin of Jon "Solo."
I actually DID know the story just by the title! Thank you for the origins!
i like how im an american who never heard of the fisherman and his wife but heard of the unhappy stone cutter
This was one of my favourite stories as a kid. I knew straightaway what it was and it was why I clicked!
Hey John solo I saw I saw a comment asking for Apollo and Artemis and so can u do other gods from other regions not even main ones like Aztecs or other early civilizations
I’m super glad you’re covering more obscure tales! Might I recommend Godfather Death? It’s my favorite out of all of the Grimm stories and I’m sad not many know about it.
That's a good one.
I seem to remember a Greek version of this story, where the elderly couple were so much in love that they only wanted to be together forever, and so they became oak trees that grew with their branches intertwined. That tale was how i learned what a bonded pair is, whether of trees, birds, humans, or whatever; they prosper together or suffer together, and if one dies the other might not last much longer. Beautiful story!
My granny read that to me when I was a little one + today is my birthday! You made that just for me. Thank you so very much!
I heard this story from another two channels but not the origins it will be nice to hear it
Wow, that title was so specific. :p
This story is very underestimated. Great job.
Please talk about the messed up origins of the white seal please
Hey, I suggested this months ago! Thank you Jon.
I actually have heard of this one! Yay 🙌 John!
Hi Jon Solo .how are you doing today..hope it's a good day love your story telling ☺️😊
I love reading this story to my students and they tend to applaud at the ending. Thanks for this!
Love all your videos
Hi, Jon have you ever heard of tasting history He's a smaller UA-camr who makes videos about making dishes from history and I highly recommend his content.
"You'll be cursed with Cheeto fingers for a thousand years."
As stupid/silly as it sounds, that's actually terrifying.
