Truth be told...there's tons of Polish communities here in Texas next to where I live. I'm half Polish myself. If Poland is ever invaded by Russia...well, let's just say that Russia would have a whole lot of very angry Texans showing up at their doorstep.

As a Floridian I support your portrayals. It should be understood that we get a lot of tourists. While we use this opportunity to get to know other cultures, a lesser known benefit is getting to know how to insult your opposition with the perfect level of ignorance to maximize offense. And we’re good at it too.
Georgia here, and surprisingly I can say they are not ignored at all and, most criminals in Camden are from Florida. Everyone here in Georgia will never ignore Florida. Forgetting Florida is impossible.
As well as every other fucking country in the world… Because most of them (I’d like to think around ehhh 97% of them) know you don’t b hit the FAFO button we have!!!
I love how HLC is fully aware of the correct pronunciation of "Iran," yet his USA character doggedly sticks to I-RAN. It really encapsulates the character portrayal, separate and apart from the actor's natural inclinations.
GW Bush always mispronounced Iraq on purpose as a reminder that they weren’t even worth pronouncing right, just a repeated FU to Saddam, whose name GW also usually screwed up purposefully……
I posit that Iran is correct because thats their reply to every time they have been onvolved with the us in conflict....I saw the US warship fire . Then what happened? I ran
Former active marine and the ending hits big. We love our war fighting more than anything. When our ball is cancelled you know it’s for something more fun!
So the skit is basically saying that some marines have been deployed somewhere (say, Gaza or somewhere thereabouts) and they’re going to ruin some terrorists’ day?

When an Army general who became the chief of staff says the words “The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle” it’s hard not to believe we are, in fact, the finest fighting force the world has ever seen. From the halls to the shores, my fellow Belleau Woodsmen.
I worked with the Marines in Afghanistan a couple of times. I've never seen a group of men so eager to get into a firefight. 😊 No better friend, no worse enemy, indeed.
During the Iraq war there was concern Marines were executing prisoners because so many bad guys were found with headshots. After an investigation it was discovered that these headshots were being delivered from well over 100yrds away and it was a headshot because that was all the enemy was displaying which was why so many people were getting their head turned into a canoe.

Poland’s reaction is pure gold! Also, seriously, I never knew that becoming friends with a marine on social media would mean constant updates about how far away we are from Nov. 10th, but that’s literally the only reason I knew what was going on at the end there.
An old high school classmate is like that. Doesn't post much throughout the year but when November comes.....I'm getting constant notifications about him posting. Lol. He just retired from the Marine Corps after 20 years and still hasn't missed a beat
Okay after looking through the comments section here. I think I figured out what Marines love more than birthday parties. In the words of tierzoo. They absolutely *LOVE* sending people back to the character select screen
I love how Poland was laughing when the other countries were freaking out like they were thinking “let’s get this party started” because they were thinking about what was about to happen.
This whole thing was hilarious, but Poland laughing at the end was what sent me. Everyone else is like, "Oh no...." and Poland is just ready to throw hands.
On a side note, it’s always so wholesome when Buff is on because every other plane and jet understands that Buff is the great grandfather of them all and they all treat him with respect, EVEN uncle same and the Military Industrial Complex.

Wait this reminds me of something. Didn’t, at one point in time, a marine unit had to be investigated for to many headshots and someone thought they were executing enemies?

The USMC celebrates it every year with something called the Marine Corps Birthday Ball Its a celebration of history and tradition, one night where every rank is equal in their love of the Corp @@mesiroy1234

Pretty sure Grandpa Buff was about to tell the most epic story ever. I was in tears. So........some how, some way that story needs told. And God help the poor bastards who made the Marines cancel their birthday party.
I was invited to the ball in 2012 by my girlfriend who has since passed, it's a bittersweet memory in some ways, but it was also the best damm party I've ever been to! It was really interesting looking around and thinking "if everything went to shit right now, like if someone lit off a nuke or a zombie plague hit or aliens landed, I'm in the best possible crowd to survive it!
Perun's recent powerpoint has been a big help in providing context to current affairs. Iran almost exclusively deals in gray zone operations and proxy warfare these days because they've spent so much time under sanction that traditional means of projecting power simply aren't in the budget. On the other hand, their cheap basic missiles and drones oddly keep falling off of the back of trucks in Yemen and Gaza and Syria. Edit: Goddamn, 190+ likes? I was not expecting this to do numbers but it seems there's crossover between the two channels. Maybe one day HLC will reference Emutopia and Kiwiland.
Perun and Habit the combo we never knew we needed. A piece about air defense economics? The cost and sustainability of Hamas Rocketry? The Industrial War behind Hypersonics?
My favorite Marine birthday memory was in Nov '09, eight of us all bundled up in the back of a MaxxPro cutting a lemon-poppyseed poundcake and singing the Hymn before we rolled on with our AO patrol.
I love that you represent my state as a person that doesn't really know the middle east and doesn't seem to care he doesn't know it and I love it. However, something to note if a Floridian does go out of his way to learn where someone is from, you have officially pissed them off and they are making sure to know where to find you later.
I didn't think about that but yeah, you're right; making them put down their beer and find a map means you've bypassed the 'fuck around' and skipped right to 'finding out'.
I was a bit distracted while watching this video. Looked away, heard the words "cancel their birthday ball...". As soon as my brain made sense of it, I dropped my pen and said, "Holy Shit!". It's not just the Marines who love their birthday, but wives & girlfriends who spend months preparing for the ball. This is a big fucking deal.

I watch this several times a day just for Poland's maniacal laughter.
Poland's bloodlust glee literally had me LOL despite a state of unparalleled disquiet.
Japan's "oh crap" followed by maniacal Polish laughter just made my day!
NOTICE that when England broke the news about the Marine unit canceling their Birthday party, the first "oh, Shit!" came from Japan.
Japan be like, "Yeah, we've seen THIS sho before. In fact, we were IN one of their previous shows. 80 YEARS later, and we're STILL having PTSD nightmares.
Bud, thank you for your content, videos... It's a source of pride, For anyone who has served, And the outloud laughter, Sometimes hurts my belly, But a civilian will never understand, I'm pushing 60.. Put me in cold, I'm still ready to... play. God honor and family
I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled onto this content, but I'm here for it
Poland’s reaction is pure gold! Also, seriously, I never knew that becoming friends with a marine on social media would mean constant updates about how far away we are from Nov. 10th, but that’s literally the only reason I knew what was going on at the end there.
It's the birthday tomorrow
An old high school classmate is like that. Doesn't post much throughout the year but when November comes.....I'm getting constant notifications about him posting. Lol. He just retired from the Marine Corps after 20 years and still hasn't missed a beat
When Poland started laughing, I imagined the text “Article 5 noises” right above his face.
Yeah, the birthday is to us as pumpkin spice is to a "basic white girl". 😂
Okay after looking through the comments section here. I think I figured out what Marines love more than birthday parties. In the words of tierzoo. They absolutely *LOVE* sending people back to the character select screen
Marines are the dust and water that causes an unfixable "ring of death"
The Iranian DLC is about to get a Expansion.
Time to write some new Call of Duty content?
After mentioning a US Marine Unit cancelling their birthday ball.... Poland laughs in chaos 😂 that was GOLD🤣
I love how Poland was laughing when the other countries were freaking out like they were thinking “let’s get this party started” because they were thinking about what was about to happen.
This whole thing was hilarious, but Poland laughing at the end was what sent me. Everyone else is like, "Oh no...." and Poland is just ready to throw hands.
probably like >80% of Polish watchers (including me) reacted exactly like Poland in video
The lovely mini Texas country, got to love em
I showed this to my brother, and he didn't get the joke in terms of the Marines cancelling their birthday ball.
The Marines cancelling their birthday is possibly the most threatening thing they can do
On a side note, it’s always so wholesome when Buff is on because every other plane and jet understands that Buff is the great grandfather of them all and they all treat him with respect, EVEN uncle same and the Military Industrial Complex. Always gotta respect your elders, especially when they have just as many nicknames as the Marine Corps and one of the nicknames is Buffy the Forehead Slayer!
Such a great channel - from its name to its satire ❤ (will show it to my dad when I visit next, he was a Navigator in B-52s in the 60-70s... Your BUFF bits are crazy spot on)
BUFF line about being in a really hairy situation with a playmate in the 1970"s. Pure gold. I fairly sure only those of us who remember the 1970's picked up on it.
I don't get it. Care to illuminate us?
@@harrytabb328 Let's just say, below-the-pants "landscaping" was not really a thing back then.
@@harrytabb328 OK have you ever seen a centerfold from a 1970's playboy. Was a very long-haired breed of kitty. The kitty wasn't groomed at all.
I was born in the 80's and I totally get it. Mind-bleaching myself as we speak 😂
@@TacticalTerry yeah the early to mid 80's weren't much better. but things did begin to improve in the second half.
I love how all the countries reacting knowingly to the marines have either fought alongside them or fought against them.
Wait this reminds me of something. Didn’t, at one point in time, a marine unit had to be investigated for to many headshots and someone thought they were executing enemies?
@@speedstick8981yes until they realized the shots were all at hundreds of yards
@@speedstick8981 Yep, early Iraq they issued ACOG's to a bunch of grunts who were expert shot with iron sights
@@bevans4712 I thought as much
@@zwinmar21 Ah man I love that story.
This is the first time I’ve been worried about war. More specifically “WW3”
This channel is my new addiction. Thank you very much.
Poland breaking into happy giggles made my day.
As a Dane some of us, remember the history of the shores of Tripoli, when barbery coast pirates raided the Faroe isles and the US responded by destroying them and Tripoli, much obliged
The US did that when it was only about twenty years old and its navy consisted of just six relatively small ships.
@@TheOriginalJphyper yeah we are one of the UK's more scary sons,
@@TheOriginalJphyper yup. And only did it because they wouldn't cooperate.
@@blakethegreatone2058 Oh, for the days when we didn't tolerate BS... Don't get me wrong; there was a LOT wrong with that time period, but this particular aspect of it is something we need to bring back.
@@TheOriginalJphyperlol back when the whole world basically ran on fuck around and find out essentially
We love Grandpa Buff. ❤😂 I like that f22 is like Buff’s son or grandson. It’s hilarious when f22 says, “would you intercept me?' I’d intercept me.” 😂🇺🇸🇺🇸
OH snap!!!.....glued onto EVERY word for 3:30 mins! this is sooo soo goood....now i am addicted.
As a Veteran Marine, hearing this and the responses you made quite literally made me smile and then laugh (like Poland did lol)
I’m glad I’m not the only that laughed liked Poland when watching this
Israli here what the marine birthday means,
@@mesiroy1234It is the day the US marine corps was founded. It is VERY important to them. They only reason they cancel it is if they are at active war, or are about to go to war.
The Clue is in the name lol
But yes its the celebration of the day and year the US Marine Corps was established.
The USMC celebrates it every year with something called the Marine Corps Birthday Ball
Its a celebration of history and tradition, one night where every rank is equal in their love of the Corp @@mesiroy1234
I couldn't join due to medical issues, but grew up in a Navy family. When Poland started laughing, I about lost it I was laughing so hard. I told my wife a few weeks ago that the Marines in CENTCOM canceled their birthday ball, even she knew that meant something serious was about to happen involving Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.
I love the maniacal laughing of Poland toward the end. Also, the Florida part is decently on-point
True statement about Marines and their birthdays. Semper Fi Marines. We’re proud of you.
I love how everyone instantly got nervous when they heard about the Marine Corps birthday ball getting canceled because they know exactly what’s going to happen if they have to go into any form of combat.
The fact that everyone else went "Oh Shit" and fucking Poland is just there laughing manically broke me
There's only one thing Marines love in this world more than their birthday but I'm sure it's just administrative reasons.
I love this guy!! He's freaking hilarious!! There's someone I've seen trying to imitate him, but it's sad...not even close!! Keep up the good work!💪🤣
Florida man here... I love the Florida bits. I used to hate them but they grew on me.
i love how the marines cancelling the birthday ball ranks up there with canada stopping saying sorry
Shore to shore, don't fuck with the corps.
~Semper Fi
Poland laughing is the best part of the whole skit! I love these, keep up the good work!
I absolutely LOVE your views on, voices on & takes on all the different aspects.. :) As a 25 year Air Force vet I salute you sir! God speed and keep up the good fight! Job well done to date!!!
When you tell a unit of Marines that you are canceling their excuse to drink themselves into a coma, there is going to be blood one way or another.
We Marines take our birthday VERY SERIOUSLY!! To finish his statement about their being only one thing Marines love more than our birthday....Showing the world why sending us into a combat zone should be a war crime...we love presenting souls to the Pearly Gates for Saint Peter to judge!!!
Semper Fi!!!!!
You guys are literally the "find out" response to "f*ck around".
@@alexk.9598 And proud to be so!!!
Shhh brother its not a war crime the 1st time
@@thunderjet4294 Or the second or third if it's under wraps, as we learned with Germany and Russian in World War 2. No offense to both.
Way back when at the dawn of time, in the valley of death where the sun don’t shine.
The toughest fighter ever known was made, from an m16 and a live grenade.
He was a mean lean fighting machine, who proudly bore the title of a US marine
This is the *only* channel that I literally laugh out loud while watching. Well done, keep it up, and stay safe. Thank you.
Pretty sure Grandpa Buff was about to tell the most epic story ever. I was in tears. So........some how, some way that story needs told. And God help the poor bastards who made the Marines cancel their birthday party.
Their name begins with a I and ends with Ran.
I’m pretty sure Buff was actually about to tell a story about him screwing a hooker and getting an STD.
Grandpa Buff: "You may have heard this story referred to as 'BUFF & the Muff'...." 😈😝
There is no God that can help them now.
@@matthew1995king Prepare the Deathstar!
Polands laugh at hearing about the cancelled bday plans is everything to me today
HLC ~ you always make me LOL You make it hard to pray for Peace.
Never underestimate the ingenuity and the versatility of your average lance corporal with a rifle and a roll of duct tape
I was invited to the ball in 2012 by my girlfriend who has since passed, it's a bittersweet memory in some ways, but it was also the best damm party I've ever been to! It was really interesting looking around and thinking "if everything went to shit right now, like if someone lit off a nuke or a zombie plague hit or aliens landed, I'm in the best possible crowd to survive it!
As long as you didn't get in the way of the fun.
@@chrisdupree8382 LMAO!!! Exactly!
Not swelling his eyes shut the rest of the way. Damn near wasted coffee with that line.
I love Poland’s reaction to that 😂😂😂😂 and everyone’s else was the topping on the cake! 😂😂😂😂
Poland... laughing like a mad scientist, gotta love that character.
Perun's recent powerpoint has been a big help in providing context to current affairs. Iran almost exclusively deals in gray zone operations and proxy warfare these days because they've spent so much time under sanction that traditional means of projecting power simply aren't in the budget. On the other hand, their cheap basic missiles and drones oddly keep falling off of the back of trucks in Yemen and Gaza and Syria.
Edit: Goddamn, 190+ likes? I was not expecting this to do numbers but it seems there's crossover between the two channels. Maybe one day HLC will reference Emutopia and Kiwiland.
Hello fellow Perun enthusiast!
Perun Perusers !
In Perun we trust, all others check NGIC.
Perun is indeed awesome. His long form videos really help get me through my sundays at work. I am a big fan of Sandboxx too.
Perun and Habit the combo we never knew we needed.
A piece about air defense economics? The cost and sustainability of Hamas Rocketry? The Industrial War behind Hypersonics?
The only time a birthday party getting canceled is a terrifying threat.
“Maybe somebody just hot sick; I dunno…” this guy’s a freaking comedic and geopolitical genius.
I love these longer bits this was outstanding
The best part about the Iran chess joke is that a bunch of chess professionals have defected from Iran recently, including the world #5.
I'm loving Florida more and more... "Billy Bag Dad"
This video was gold from start to finish
I need this everyday for every war update! Simply amazing brother!!!
I love that the F22 went with a slight southern accent when he heard about Isreal's first space combat. 😂
Ain't enough stupid, poor kids to join in the north
My favorite Marine birthday memory was in Nov '09, eight of us all bundled up in the back of a MaxxPro cutting a lemon-poppyseed poundcake and singing the Hymn before we rolled on with our AO patrol.
I LOVE everything about this. Especially Florida
This is too funny 😂😂😂😂 I needed that laugh. Especially the Florida reaction 😂😂😂
'Marines canceled their birthday ball'
'USA evilly chuckling and looming.'
I love that you represent my state as a person that doesn't really know the middle east and doesn't seem to care he doesn't know it and I love it. However, something to note if a Floridian does go out of his way to learn where someone is from, you have officially pissed them off and they are making sure to know where to find you later.
True.
I didn't think about that but yeah, you're right; making them put down their beer and find a map means you've bypassed the 'fuck around' and skipped right to 'finding out'.
I absolutely love your content. I know your not a Marine but Semper Fidelis brother
"close his eyes the rest of the way shut"🤣🤣🤣😭 florida is my spirit animal🤣
Marines do love their birthday. Gave us 2 beers each to celebrate in Iraq. We were army, not even Marines. Fell under their command though.
Poland laughing maniacally is equal to Canada saying "not sorry".
I was a bit distracted while watching this video. Looked away, heard the words "cancel their birthday ball...". As soon as my brain made sense of it, I dropped my pen and said, "Holy Shit!".
It's not just the Marines who love their birthday, but wives & girlfriends who spend months preparing for the ball.
This is a big fucking deal.
History..... Really does repeat itself..... Over and over, and over again...... I guess no one ever learned anything, probably never will..... Im so proud of our military, the greatest fighting force ever, in the history of our world to date..... God bless the USA....
