here is the story as a poem In a village, far and wide, A Chinese farmer did reside. One day his horse broke through the pen, Ran away to the hills and then, Neighbors came with faces sad, "Such bad luck! It's truly bad." The farmer shrugged and softly said, "Good luck, bad luck, who can say?" Days went by, the horse returned, With wild horses it had earned. Neighbors cheered, "Oh, what a day! Good luck has surely come your way!" The farmer nodded, wise and grey, "Good luck, bad luck, who can say?" His son rode one, fierce and fast, But from the horse, he fell at last. His leg was broken, neighbors sighed, "Oh, such bad luck!" they decried. The farmer smiled in his own way, "Good luck, bad luck, who can say?" The army came to draft the men, But left his son to heal and mend. Neighbors said, "How lucky, friend!" The farmer's lesson without end: "Good luck, bad luck, who can say? We live our lives from day to day."
@@vedatman2003YES WHY? Honestly I he was funny for a little while... Now he makes no sense. and all this comparing him to VSauce(?) and basically lauded as a comedic genius. I think I'm over all this mind numbing
I'm the *paragraph* guy: There was once a widowed farmer, who lived with his only son. They only had one horse. One day, the horse ran away, when the farmer's son forgot to close the gate to its enclosure. The farmer's friends came to his house, and showed him their sympathy, saying, "Oh! Its such a tragedy", whilst he maintained a *stoic* expression, replying with, *"Maybe yes, maybe no"* The next day, the horse returned, and along with it, brought 7 wild horses. This would help the farmer's business, so his friends expressed their joy saying, "Its a great news" to which the *stoic* farmer, once again said, *"Maybe yes, maybe no"* The next day his son, fell hard on a rock and broke his leg, while trying to train one of the wild horses. The farmer's friends showed their sympathy, saying, "Its such a tragedy !", to which the *stoic* farmer replied, *"Maybe yes, maybe no"* A week later, the young men of the village were drafted to serve in a war, but since the farmer's son had a broken leg, he didn't have to go. Thus, his friends expressed their joy, on the farmer's son being saved from apparant death, due to his current injuries. But even then the *stoic* farmer said, *"Maybe yes, maybe no"* Moral: Every situation has its own *pros* and *cons* . Everything that God does, He does for a reason.
I actually understood the twist at the end because I paused the short, went and read what the story of the Chinese farmer was, and then laughed when he said "maybe" XD
so basically, the farmer's horse runs away, the farmer says, that needn't be a bad thing, the horse comes back with another horse it met, farmer says, that needn't be a good thing, his son breaks a leg riding the new horse, farmer says, that needn't be a bad thing, then there's a war but his son doesn't have to go bc of his broken leg, it goes on like that
Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.” The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.” The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.” The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.” The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad - because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune. - Alan Watts
For anyone wondering the story (as I know it) goes like this: A Chinese farmer’s horse ran away (bad news) but then it came back with a female horse (good news) but then while the farmer was training the new horse he got kicked over and broke his arm (bad news) but then when the king was drafted soldiers the farmer didn’t have to go because of his injury (good news)
If people were questioned on the assignments they did 2 months ago then 60% of people who would’ve passed would fail. Remembering something for 1 week isnt learning
Bro has been binging vsauce recently
“Or has he?”
@@Jj2kalldayor has he*
Bro i was thinking that 😅
And here I thought he just happened to watch some Bluey
No, he was binging Hey Michael.
here is the story as a poem
In a village, far and wide,
A Chinese farmer did reside.
One day his horse broke through the pen,
Ran away to the hills and then,
Neighbors came with faces sad,
"Such bad luck! It's truly bad."
The farmer shrugged and softly said,
"Good luck, bad luck, who can say?"
Days went by, the horse returned,
With wild horses it had earned.
Neighbors cheered, "Oh, what a day!
Good luck has surely come your way!"
The farmer nodded, wise and grey,
"Good luck, bad luck, who can say?"
His son rode one, fierce and fast,
But from the horse, he fell at last.
His leg was broken, neighbors sighed,
"Oh, such bad luck!" they decried.
The farmer smiled in his own way,
"Good luck, bad luck, who can say?"
The army came to draft the men,
But left his son to heal and mend.
Neighbors said, "How lucky, friend!"
The farmer's lesson without end:
"Good luck, bad luck, who can say?
We live our lives from day to day."
Maybe…
Or is it?
Oh it’s that one bluey episode

the fact that i know this from bluey is concerning

I hate how a VSauce short popped right after this one

He's foreshadowing a collab
Everyone talking about vsauce and I'm here like, "Wouldn't expect Alex to watch Bluey..." 😂😂
NO BC SAME
@@saniavstheworld - 🤣 🤣
What do you mean?
“Hey, Vsauce! Al here!”
Nahh the Vsauce influence is unreal
Yesterday's video and now this?
I though i was the only one. Same.
@@thepsychogun7046 and I thought that comment was gonna be lost in the abyss..
Apparently not...
Bro is five steps ahead of our brains
Nah I just predicted the entire comment section would be vsauce
....Bluey?
His jokes are so good Alex changed his name to Tom halfway through
Alex, to deans and teachers just "Tom" for short 😂
“Hey, Vsauce! Michael here. Your home security is very safe… or is it?”
I honestly thought it was going to be a student-teacher relationship.
Maybe
Cue Vsauce theme
omg!... thats one of my fav philosophical allegories.... So spoofing on it is extra double hilarious to me
bro tried to turn things over with vsauce💀
Born to vsauce , forced to farm
Alsauce going strong. Please make a video about my stepmother next.
I mean we haven’t seen Al and Hey VSauce in the same room
Al tried to be like Vsauce at the end
Or did he?
English class broke this man 😂
Vsauce effect is real guys
Is this just a reference to bluey
To Vsauce
HE SAID THE VSAUCE THING
i literally got a vsauce short after this one
Al, you gonna respond to speed McQueen stealing your vid?
you should look in the camera like vsauce
"or is it? 🧐"
* Vsauce theme plays*
Al turning into Hey Michael more and more every passing minute
OMG this is hilarious. Thank you Al. You are my favorite UA-camr. Tony you're second, but closing in
Bro that's peak righting 😂🔥🔥
He broke under zero pressure.
Has Studio C vibes "it could be fun though"
"maybe I never got into this college. Maybe I'm using a fake ID..."
…
…
"Maybe"
This skit is pure genius.
*vsauce music plays*
"I slept with the professor."
Haha vsauce was literally the next post I scrolled too
My guy has a Vsauce arch😂
Mf pulled a vsauce right there
bro really tried to pull a vsauce
The real exam is conversational
I'd be probably be fitting for you to use the Vsauce iconic theme when you say 'or is it?' lol.
He’s definitely been watching bluey
Bro turn i to vsauce for a moment
He should have used cliff notes.
Bro is doing the today's mission by freakbait
this is the first al's joke i didn't understand😭
Wow you’ve understood all of the jokes thus far bravo 👏
It has to do with the story of the Chinese farmer he’s referring to.
Look up Chinese farmer story , you will get the joke.
so basically, the farmer's horse runs away, the farmer says, that needn't be a bad thing, the horse comes back with another horse it met, farmer says, that needn't be a good thing, his son breaks a leg riding the new horse, farmer says, that needn't be a bad thing, then there's a war but his son doesn't have to go bc of his broken leg, it goes on like that

I was wondering why there was no thoughtful music after the "or is it" without even realizing
"or is it?" *takes over a country*
"Did you use AI"
"No, I used Al"
Only Al would make me search about a Chinese farmer
Bro tried to pull a Vsause 💀💀💀
I can't believe my UA-cam algorithm the next video I swipped for was from Vsauce
Someone watched too much Vsauce shorts recently 😂
Everyone talking about vsauce but I’m thinking it was that bluey episode
He didn't use AI, he used Al
I love the vsauce references 👌
Trying to find every plot twist in Al videos is like trying to find every instance of foreshadowing in Mushoku tensei 💀
Bro thinks he's vsauce
He did use AI to write for him. Say hi to AI
He's Tom and Alex at the same time? Well, maybe.
The fact that I got a vsauce short right after this....
Bro was Alex he turned Tom
wtf he finished with the vsauce's "or is it?" And I js found out the video before this had "hey vsauce" on the title
The dude’s evil eye face is something I’ve seen my dad do. Not a great feeling
Called him Alex in the beginning, then halfway through, called him Tom.
"Maybe, we'll see tomorrow"
he wrote A on the paper, dean.
Nah, bro just watched the special episode of Bluey
Bluey The Sign taught me this one
"Your future career is secured now that your in college!"
Tom: "or is it?"
Is your name Michael now? xD
Obviously a massive Bluey fan
??
@@jessecarroll9460 it was a joke, Bluey did an episode about it about a month and a half ago. He’s obviously not referencing that
Then he became a successful techno mogul.
Watching Al during post nut clarity is a whole other level of brain exercise

I thought it was gonna be about eating the dog 😭
Dude went from Alex to Tom which is is
Alex the Tom? Maybe...
This implies he wasn’t under suspicion until he started making up the story 😅
The chinese was OBVIOUSLY trying to eat a dog, why is bro trippin with his horse
Thought he was gonna be sleeping with the prof
I like to eat Cheerios one at a time when nobody's watching
The bots were super quick to latch onto this one.
