21:34 The creator of this History video said it took him 11 months to make it. He said in an interview. Love this guy's dedication
It took him 10 months. so he lied.
@@petergreen96669 actually, he said 14 months lol
@@diegorocca5210 Oh yes I was just posting nonsense as usual.
He didn't mention the British abolishing the very idea of that global-since-the-dawn-of-time-institution-called-slavery so yes, he's a liar and wasted however many months it was
What?
"The Sultan of Oman lives in Zanzibar now" is my favorite line because so many people go looking for some significance but like the video says "that's just where he lives" and Bill W liked the jingle it made, so he chose to include it.
Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar
Seyyid said, because Zanzibar had better everything...climate, harbours...
My favourite line is time to conquer all of indiaaa, most of indiaa
my favourite will always be “can you get to india through north america? no, but at least there’s beaver.” it gets me every time 💀💀
@@alyshamcalpine2238 question 2:steal the spice trade that's not a question but the Dutch did it anyway
I love watching clever people react to this.
Right! No one ever gets the "Indies and Japan" joke
@@stonefaceBRC I have waited years for someone to react and actually get that one. No one ever does! She’s the first for me at least
@@Suspense1376 IKKK I LOVE THAT JOKE AND IM SO GLAD SHE GOT IT BC NO ONE DOES 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
The opening 30 seconds of her facial expressions.
This young lady has a rather well spoken and pleasant American accent and rather pretty with a lovely warm smile
I am so glad you finally watched this one. There are so many references you'll catch now, it's really become one of the cornerstones of internet culture.
I’ll have to watch it again tomorrow
@@NoProtocol eventually you'll start singing the jingles mentally at random and then inevitably memorize the entire video
@@NoProtocol as for how long it took Bill to make this video, he reported 11 months on an interview considering material research and scripting
Wow, much respect to him
@@NoProtocol This is exactly what makes UA-cam so invaluable.
Do you react to Sports videos NP? If you do then " Ultras-Our Way Of Life-10,000 Subscribers" shows you the Beautiful and Not-So-Beautiful side of European Football(Soccer) Enjoy :)
The work...the singing...the graphics...it's unreal.
“Now the Phoenicians can get down to business” pops in my head at least three times a day lol
@@jasonfarrell00 "no the sun is a deadly laser"

Natural history buff here. Even in that small section, he included specific graphics of some of the most important fossil discoveries, from “learn to use an egg” down to “weird strange water bugs and strange fish.”
🎵Society 🎵
I swear I quote “THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER” weekly 😂😂😂
Same I'm just sitting there next to the go to walk out the door and bam with sun is a deadly laser

Fuck's sake.
I've seen so many reactions to this video. Most reactors caught or knew about 20% of what happened in the video, while 80% went over their heads. With you it's obviously the opposite. Wow, respect. It's really great to see someone so cultured, knowledgeable and intelligent. Thank you for your video.
Same.
Agree!!
I wish there was like a "well read" filter I could turn on for stuff like this
It’s almost as if someone taught this all throughout middle school and high school. Bizarre
@@thomxAristy
It's almost as if trace decay theory has some merit. Bizzare.
This guy is amazing. He pulled out, put out one of the best videos on UA-cam, and dipped into obscurity again. Then, after popular demand he came back with an even better video, and once more disappeared into obscurity. He’s a legend.
What’s the bette one? He also had the greatest awards speech of all time
@@iJaxy10 This is the better one.
I was referring to his Japan video as the first one.
@@pumpkingamebox ah ya I see
3:16 Great timing!
"So this might be one of those videos I have to watch more than once."
- Narrator: "Oh wow, maybe even a couple of times."
I taught physics for 40 years and am an "aha" junkie. I knew it would be fun to watch you watch this video. I watched this video again and again until I didn't learn anything new. You'd have been fun to have in class.
I wish I would have had this for all the history and history-related classes back in the day.
Honestly, same
@@NoProtocolYou’ve got to react to his songs (also history of japan by him). he’s a genius :)
Lots of this is very confusing especially the beginning about "nothing was nowhere" or whatever, and history class didn't teach most of this. So many people and countries I've never heard of because they just retaught the same stuff about Columbus and Washington and the famous ones every year.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 The very beginning of the video is physics, basically just summarizing what we know (or don't know) about how the universe began.
7:38
"time to conquer all of India"
"all of India? *shakes head*"
"-or most of India"
the timing was too perfect here lol
This is actually how History works ... we as individuals place emphasis on particular moments that we think are important to us but in the macrocosm of ALL things these are just moments mere seconds in the universal clock . This video points that out in a humorous way that gives facts with a lil snark ( which makes it entertaining ) Lets you know that everything we think of as super important today will be just a fact in history 100 to 1000 year from now , Great Video Great Reaction !
i can't put into words how much joy it brings me to watch you react to stuff--- idk what it is about mirror neurons or my lizard brain thinking you are a friend sitting right next to me but you just make me SO HAPPY with your videos -- thank you for all the work you put into this!!!! Can't wait for your reaction to the history of Japan!!
HAVE AN AWESOME DAY
I love reading this Kaitlin, thanks for being here!! Have a great day as well ☺️☺️
yes thats exactly what it is, it feels like spending time with a friend watching funny interesting videos
This is how you teach history in a way that gets young people interested. By giving a humorous summary, you spark curiosity to learn more. This video is a national treasure.
One of the subtle things I love about this video is how he stresses certain events, the first star, society. It's just a beat, but there is a certain amount of weight to those moments.
And yet he missed the abolition of global slavery as an acceptable practice. Not a big thing I guess, or just too hard to do something like congratulate an old western civilization.
@@miff227 it hasnt happened yet, there are more slaves now than there ever have been
@@jamesgornall5731 yep. it just isn’t called slavery anymore and happens in countries that most in the west don’t care enough about. it’s sad.
I'm glad you thoroughly enjoyed that. I definitely suggest Bill's history of Japan video and there's so many more Oversimplified videos to get through, as well.
youtube randomly recommended this video to me when it was only like 12 minutes old. I watched it, then watched a whole lot of the previous videos on the channel for like two hours straight, subscribed and came back here to let you know that there is now one more among the many who appreciate your work and wish you great success in your endeavours.
This compliment is not lost on me, thank you (: glad you’re liking the channel so far
I can always tell how smart someone is by how much they laugh at recognizing all the references in this video that flew over my head.
If you liked this vid you should def watch his video on the entire history of japan. Everything in here was very summarized and breezed over, but imagine that but with the entire specifics and important parts of japans history
I definitely will!
I also had an epiphany of sorts with the "baby in water in egg" part. It never really clicked with me before that we still need to have babies in water just in a slightly more roundabout way.
I've seen this at least half a dozen times. I don't think I've ever enjoyed it more! Thanks.👍👍
Thanks for being here Alan!
@@NoProtocol You bet, I have been watching from the start, I guess lurking is an apt description! I'm a fan of your intellect, humor and that smile! Makes my day to see the bright curiosity in a young person's eyes so, I'll be around. Even if I'm silent. 🤗
Wonderful reaction! A book I would recommend is "On This Day In History, Shit Went Down" by James Fell. It's a year's worth of well known/not well known historical stories (there are actually two volumes now) and it's full of cheekiness and cussing without taking away from the historical facts. It's a LOT of fun and super informative. I think you'd like it!
I've seen historians and history teachers reacting to this video and they were positively impressed. The physics and biology portions are also quite correct.
Idk why, but I love watching your reactions, you’re quickly becoming my favorite. Super intelligent, great personality, and it doesn’t hurt that you are not difficult to look at…. lol
Subbing 👍
Lol thank you, I’m glad you’re liking the channel so far (:
:-) Nicely put.
One of the most impressive videos ever made. Before Ethan Klein became whatever he is now he did an interview with Bill and we learned this took him the better part of a year.
And thank you for showing by your reaction that young people aren't all vapid, uneducated and easily distracted. Always good to discover there is hope for us all
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors! So refreshing to see someone react to this and not look like a confused "?" all the time 🤣
This was brilliant! And you seem so intellectual. Really an amazing reaction. Also I liked the video in the first few seconds because there was no stalling neiter. Loved it!
Great reaction! There is so much here. One thing that people are confused by or glance over is the, “Look at those breasts” line. Big change in evolution! Mammals developed a new way to survive since their babies need extra care after their born. They became the egg!
As well, agriculture is a huge step/change in humanity. It birthed society as we know it today. Such a huge move to get us away from animals. One of the most important changes.
I wish he mentioned the technological age we live in right now. We live in one of the most important eras in humanity. There is agriculture, industry, and technology. We hardly think about the age of technology since we live in it, but it is changing humanity forever. Instantly you can see anyone or anywhere in the world. Information (and misinformation) of any kind is at our fingertips. First hand real-time knowledge. We are just getting started, too.

I actually appreciate that you literally jump right into the video within the first 3 seconds - that totally caught me off guard!
No fluff, no BS... just pure and honest reaction, I could tell. And I've watched LOADS of similar videos on UA-cam.
Thank you for this; it's exactly what I needed on the morning of my birthday. :)
(New subscriber here, so... let's GOOOO and see what else you've done so far xD)
...this is gonna be a journey, isn't it.
Cheers
This was easily my favorite reaction on your channel. The dance of facial expressions as you cycled through fascination, delight, shock, wonder, and contemplation was top tier reactor content! I hope this reaction directs a lot more subscribers your way.
I watched this long ago and didn't pick up much from it, but watching this as I wrap up my History to 1500 class in college, I feel like I was reminded a lot of the topics I learned and it feels like a great way to wrap up a history class and reflect on the topics learned in it.
Thank you for pointing out that Cuba/Japan point. You are the first of many to catch that. Also... damn you're smart girl! Subscribed!
4:05 love the "aha" face - also solves the question what came first - its the egg
Personally, I really love how it puts things into perspective. Not exactly a timeline, but something close to it. As I have, at least, basic knowledge of countless events in history, but in my mind I’ve never had a clear idea of when and where they all happened relative to each other. It’s all just a jumbled mess. And though I can easily recall events, people, etc., I’m just terrible with dates, so a timeline has always been something I’ve considered doing…but probably won’t.
I have never seen anyone so knowledgeable react to this. You’re amazing. Respect. You should be proud. I wish people knew even 20% of the information in this video.
You have such an amazing smile and laugh! It was wonderful to watch you react to this amazing video.
New to your channel so I’m not sure of your background (if you’re a history major or just a history buff) but you’re knowledge of eastern history is pretty amazing. I knew close to nothing about the eastern history bits he covered here. We learned about things like the Silk Road and the colonization of Africa, but besides that our classes generally centered around North American and European history. I was shocked by how many references you understood that I had missed.
And you’re right, this would be such a great learning tool. I’ve said since I first saw this- if they showed this on the first day of class it would be such a great way to engage student and get them actually interested in learning what he was talking about. So later when those topics get discussed there’s a level of genuine intrigue because they got a sneak peak and now they’re learning the details. It also really helps put history in perspective. There’s so much to learn about world history, so it can be difficult to map out timeline in you’re own head. So seeing it mapped out chronologically like this is really helpfully to gauge the progression of society as a whole rather than focusing on one region at a time.
I've been hoping for this reaction since I subscribed because I knew you'd get the puns and appreciate it all. I'm also happy to point out you were the only one to catch the Columbus "discovery" of Japan pun, most just look confused or worse, wrongly enlightened 😅
The joy I feel not having to skip the first two minutes of every video is fantastic!
You win the best intro of all time lol straight to it no playing around 👍
"I don't know, my dealer will not tell me where he gets it" That made you laugh so much. Me to.
This is just top tier content indeed. I respect your insight and your dedication to push education. I’m glad I subbed! ✊🏾🤯
Hey, thank you!
I love the history of Japan, when I started learning the language/culture I watched it. Still one of my favorite pieces of content
Especially Fukuzawa Yukichi has documented the turning point very well while he was part of it.
Loved how your reactions to some of the puns and humour echoed mine when I watched it for the first time (and a few times after). This is one of the all-time best videos on UA-cam. Bill Wurtz is a legend.
"Guess who's here?"
"Khmer."
"Where?"
"Here."
That part had me howling with laughter. 😂
Oh, you gotta watch the History of Japan video. It's also just as great! Every time I return to your channel I get a wide smile on my face, wathcing your subscribers grow! Well deserved! Love your commentary and your intellectual insight. Stay awesome and thank you!
It's not a world history book, but I really love the book *Cadillac Desert* by Marc Reisner. It's about water policy in the American west, and it really got me thinking about the role of water history, and it led me to other books that are about world history and the role of water, such as *Oriental Despotism* by Karl Wittfoge, *Water* by Steven Solomon, and *Elixir* by Brian Fagan.
You're gonna rewatch this so many times the jingles will be embedded in your brain. That's a promise.
This was sooooo great! Thanks for reacting to it! Definitely a video to re-watch a few times.
The production level of that video is off the charts! Thanks for sharing NP!
As informative as it is, it was a very westernised version of world history severely lacking in African history, art, philosophy, politics, wars etc...
This world history only mentions African history in the context of slavery & victimisation; which is pretty weird to me... Science says Africa is the birthplace of all civilization but as history gets told the story always seems to move away from Africa to speak about everywhere else. I wonder why that is so (at this point in human history).
Well yes, we all originate from Africa. Civilization started close to there(in Mesopotamia which is in Asia). How is it a mystery that history branches out of Africa? Humans branched out of Africa. Human history followed them. It ended up as the history of the entire world of humans rather than just humans in Africa. African history is a lot less after that. We don't actually know very much about Africa compared to early Europe and Asian history. Asia is arguably the place we know the most about. Then the Americans we know the least about.
A big part of recent African history has been slavery and victimization. That is why it seems like it's all you hear. We learn relatively modern history. You can take other classes to go deeper into history, but that would be pointless for everyone to learn. A mechanic doesn't need to know what the first civilization in Eurasia was doing 4000BCE.
You already know so much! So happy to see your reaction. Keep exploring things, your curiosity for the world will only continue to serve you well in your life. I wish my nieces were so inclined as you.
Best into ever. No silly 45-second intro video. No blathering on for 5 minutes about instagram and twitter. No asking for likes before anyone can possibly know if they might like it or not. Ten seconds in and I've already clicked the subscribe just for that.
Stumbled upon your channel and I really loved that you got straight to the point in the react! Also it's really nice to see recommendations and the "you can get informed by yourself" attitude, incredible work :D
Your reactions are EXACTLY what I need rn just watching that’s it short talks in between and someone to watch the video with much appreciation!
Great Channel. I'm here whenever I've got any free time. I appreciate your no nonsense, direct and down to earth approach to analysis. Keep it up👍
I just found your channel and I really like you! It seems like you give genuine reactions without watching things first and you are smart in a broad enough way enabling you to understand and comment on a vast array of topics. I subbed.
I have been waiting for you to react to this video! I was in awe watching how well you picked up and processed most of the info. I'm a fan! 👀👌🏾
This is brilliant. Ps love the starts. Most people from across the pond like to talk and talk and talk, yet you just dive straight in to the reaction 🙌🏻
That was an amazing video - so many tiny details! Definitely needs multiple views - thank you for sharing this
4:12 Best answer to "Is that how that happened" is "maybe." I believe Wurtz used some of the most accepted theories about how we got here, but we are trying to figure out things that happened billions of years ago when the oldest recorded history is ~10,000 years old.
Well no, we pretty much know how things got to where they are today. From RNA to simple cell to modern life. Not much mystery.
This reaction was awesome and i wanna say you have the warmest smile I've ever seen thanks for the reaction i needed a bit of cheering up and this did it
As per usual amazing reaction. Love seeing you grow more and more. Best wishes to you and yours!
I love creative ways to teach people history, it is the reason why I make the music I make about history. I try to bring these stories to light in a new and entertaining way. You are spot on about schools usin these creative vids to teach history. Great reaction!
There's not enough of this 'big picture' treatment, without which many struggle with the vast sweep of history. But it's deceptively difficult to get right, so bravo to all concerned, but of course the detail is equally important. And the key themes of suffering, inhumanity and injustice are difficult to factor in. Thanks for posting, No Protocol. I hope it gets a lot more views.
Your smile is honestly the reason why I subbed....very endearing and lovely
Cool! You took my advice and checked it out. I thought you would enjoy this. The guy spent 11 months putting this together. It's a great history refresher.
The amount you knew was very cool! My favorite reaction so far. Just subscribed! Looking forward to seeing more of your content. This is one of my all-time fav videos and i watch it alot. :) The dude just makes me happy. lol
3:18 Best coincidental pause time ever! Had to open the original video to find out if he said it there or did she talk him into a colab in post.
Hello, I have discovert your channel 2 days ago and am excited. You come across as a very reflective and educated and interested person. Very refreshing and likeable. Keep up the good work, I'll stick with it. Greetings from Germany
I love how you just looked at the camera when he talked about 9/11. Also your intros are amazing "Hey. I'll just start". Straight to the point. Definitely gonna check out more of your videos!
Hi! You've gained a new fan and subscriber. I love your videos. You're smart and not afraid to think out of the box. Keep it up!
This is my first time stumbling across your channel and honestly you're so well spoken. The way you carry yourself comes across as very educated and I'm definitely gonna subscribe. You've got a very bright future if you continue pushing and I sincerely hope that manifests for you in a way that's so much more than you envision
This has me feeling very humbled, thanks for taking the time Joe (:
This is the best thing I've ever seen!! I love it! And I need to brush up on my history. Much Love!
Is it weird that you have a very mesmerizing way of talking? Like I could listen to you for long periods of time, and not get bored. You speak very clearly, and your words are crisp. Makes it easier to pay attention. Love the reaction, and this video. I've seen this one many times, mainly through other reactions. Anyway, I subbed, and will be watching more.
It was a joy to watch your reaction
because you’re so knowledgeable
13:22 THANK YOU for explaining that, it was driving me crazy not understanding it lol
Amazing content by the way!
I have watched that video so many times since it was posted. You said it the best. This is 100% top tier internet.
That's one of the best videos I've seen frankly in years. Calls into question what I'm watching, I suppose, but that was supremely well done.
That was the best introduction I have ever seen! finally, someone gets it!
Have a subscription ❤
From a musical standpoint too, it's nothing short of a masterpiece. I wish I had some of his talent and creativity there.
Love watching your videos, for the content as much as your reactions (and, yes, that smile). Happy New Year to you and yours. may it and all that follow bring you health, love and prosperity. From midnight on New Years to midnight the next day (if living in New Mexico for example) you've traveled about 22,000 miles as we spin on Earths axis. In that same 24 hours we've traveled about 1.5 million miles in our orbit around the Sun. And, from New Year 2022 to New Year 2023, in our daily rotations we have spun over 7 million miles and 568 million miles through space. A tiny Blue dot. Amazing.
never knew how much I needed someone to just start video reactions immediately instead of 5 minute intros lmao
Some of these extremely simplified with sarcastic examples are so spot on
New subscriber. Love how you just start. Also appreciate your commentary.
I enjoy your work, you really have to have a firm grasp of history to follow and appreciate how much condensing happened in this video, your expressions let me know you got this, I would get a real kick out of your reaction to "Caesars Messiah", thank you for sharing.
I've seen this no less than 100 times love watching people seeing it for the first time. So glad you got to this.
You seem like one of the smartest and best educated people I have seen so far reacting to this video, thank you for your commentary 👍
Really enjoyed your knowledge, and shock at realising and learning new stuff. Great reaction video, you've got a new subscriber here
The Tin joke took you out! lol when he said "wheels on a horse now we're getting somwhere". I joined you in your laughter.
The amount of editing in that video is ridiculous. That takes dedication. Awesome video.
You’re seriously so radiant and magnetic. I can tell you have a beautiful mind ❤ Loved your reaction. I’ve seen this video maaany times. It’s a work of art.
Keep shining your light 🥰
The best part of this show was that you had no intro. I loved that.
Wow, that video was a combination of intense, mind boggling and spectacular! BTW, I just discovered your channel and you have a new subscriber!
You are an absolute gem: I love your channel and what you're doing!
It is a joy to watch stuff "with" you. Very informed.
So much to absorb that it will take many watchings but it does a really great job of putting history in a chronological order.
I'm glad you got that it was meant to be oversimplified, so many people criticize that video for being oversimplified and it's like....derp, read the title, it's not meant to be 100% accurate, it's more of a timeline for perspective of events that aren't often put on the same pages.
I loved your reaction and insight to this video. It cool to see people actively watching and putting puzzle pieces together and connecting it with their own personal knowledge 🥰
I'm not sure if you've looked into any of the videos by the chanel 'Sam O'Nella Academy', but if you're interested in some intriguing and some times very obscure history you should give him a watch. He recently just started posting again after a two year hiatus while at University.
Here are a few of his video titles:
The Presidential Assassination Nobody Talks About
Tarrare, the Hungriest Man in History
Diogenes, the Publicly-Defecating Philosopher
Timothy Dexter: The Dumbest Rags-to-Riches Story
There's so much history that gets lost between all the major historical events 😄
