UNBROKEN: The Curse of the Colonel | Tales From the Bottle

- In 1985, an American would indirectly cause the awakening of an unlikely vengeful spirit in the world of Japanese Baseball. This is the Curse of the Colonel
"Curse of the Colonel (カーネルサンダースの呪い Kāneru Sandāsu no Noroi) refers to an urban legend regarding a reputed curse placed on the Japanese Kansai-based Hanshin Tigers baseball team by deceased KFC founder and mascot Colonel Harland Sanders.
The curse was said to be placed on the team because of the Colonel's anger over treatment of one of his store-front statues, which was thrown into the Dōtonbori River by celebrating Hanshin fans following their team's victory in the 1985 Japan Championship Series. As is common with sports-related curses, the Curse of the Colonel was used to explain the team's subsequent 18-year losing streak. Some fans believed the team would never win another Japan Series until the statue had been recovered. They have appeared in the Japan Series three times since then, losing in 2003, 2005 and 2014.
Comparisons are often made between the Hanshin Tigers and the Boston Red Sox, who were said to be under the Curse of the Bambino until they won the World Series in 2004. The "Curse of the Colonel" has also been used as a bogeyman threat to those who would divulge the secret recipe of eleven herbs and spices that result in the unique taste of his chicken."

Ooohh i realize the Silver Spoon reference now
Hey, can you please link that version of "take this bottle" that you have used in the outro? It sounds great.
can we get a Waco
Here’s how you remove the curse:
Crowdfund to reinstate the original kfc store
Fish out the hand and glasses
Place the complete statue where it stood
Defile Ronald McDonald statue in plain view of the colonel as a sacrifice, tweet the event @ the spice girls
Or
Just hire another American slugger
I dunno, whichever’s easier.
“Defile Ronald McDonald”
“I’m lovin’ it”
If the Hanshin Tigers haven't found anyone to defile the clown statue yet, I would like to volunteer to ejaculate in and around his stupid eye.
I think you just need a white guy who wears glasses to chop off his left hand.
666 baby!

I would give any amount of money to have that painting, There is no better way to ride into combat than on the back of the colonel.
Mr Pterodactyl it’s said most gang members have a colonel tattoo that they rub like Buddha before they do drivebys . Everyone knows colonial gives you strength
America: oh hey randy nice lawn..
Japan:
RANDYYYY BASSSUUUUUU *KNEELS DOWN AND SCREAMS*
BAASSSSSSSUUUIUSANNNNUUU
*screams in Japanese*
RRRRAAAAAANNNNNDDDYYYY BASUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
YAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAIIIIIII
Un-ironically genius
If this isn't a substory in yakuza 7, we riot
its actually a substory on Sonic Adventure (no joke is true)
@@superninja252 🤣 i got to see this
There was actually reference to the sunken statue in Yakuza 0, when they take Majima down to the Colosseum
this did not age well lol
@@homeaccount5206 shiiit! I just commented the same thing under a comment in jackass 2's riot control stunt. Someone said something along the lines of "hopefully rubber bullets aren't used on us," the universe always finds balance.
Maybe we should make a blood offering to please the colonel
CHICKEN FOR THE CHICKEN GOD
ALL HAIL THE HERBS AND SPICES
Draw a pentagram with all 11 spices and place a chicken with its neck slit in the middle of the pentagram. Then get the sunscreen that’ll make you smell like chicken and draw markings on your faces with it.

Yeeeeeyh
Hanshin Tigers won the Japan Series in 2023! the curse is officially over!!!!
Girls with time machine: wow! I'm going to visit my favourite singer's first concert!
Boys with time machine: No, no! Don't throw this KFC statue in the canal! Your team gonna be cursed!
A Russian and a Furry, 2 things that were never meant to be together.
If I went back in time the things I would do would be far more evil than visiting my favorite singers first concert. Lol.
Something bad but not that bad happens:
Japanese people: *Commits sudoku*
Not to be confused with the Word Game seppuku
@@baron6541 haha brilliant
Commits isekaied
@@baron6541 to be fair it isnt words, it's numbers :)
If steinbrenner were japanese lol
Your drawings make me crack up. when you said "they were jumpin' in the canal again" i burst out laughing uncontrollably
2:56
"HANSHIN TIGER!"
"REH WEH WEH!"
I understand
is actually Play Play Play
I love how it got progressively more weird and random. You can't make this shit up. The fact is stranger than fiction.
The Colonel turns out to be Col. Sanders, and the cursed party is a JAPANESE BASEBALL TEAM.
I didn't even know they played baseball in Japan.
not only the mad lads do, is one of their fav sports!
I dont know if its the drawing or your voice but i just love the stories told by you!
Might save it for when i gotta sleep tho
Oh man. This one had me laughing so hard that I cried. I REALLY needed that. I haven't laughed that hard in a loooong time. Thank you.
"....and fucked it into the canal" LMAO!
The curse has broken.
I've been here long enough to have a bottle ready to go when a new video comes out. Always a pleasure.
God, I love these videos
That graffiti under the bridge knows what it's talking about.
my god it's been awhile since I've laughed as hard at a video as I did this one. good job!
When I realised what the image at 2:40 was based on. I started laughing so hard! Absolutely genius!
Supahotfire, right?
Man, I hope I get the chance to attend a baseball game while I'm visiting Japan!
Qxir,
Thank you sir, for the mostly funny, sometimes depressing, but always interesting content on your channel. The "Curse Of The Colonel" is my favorite so far. The tale is not only weird and hilarious (Baaasuuu saaan!), but I have my own personal story of when I was briefly popular at a Japanese company because they thought I looked like Randy Bass!
I look forward to any new content and constantly check the archives for anything I might have missed. Thanks again and you stay safe as well!
Finally, more tales from the bottle!
Funnily enough the Colonel was fished out the river in Osaka still with his trademark smile intact
Love the content , plz more regular uploads
Seeing the fans tear up almost made me tear up too
Had dust in my eyes. You could just see how much it meant to them to win once.
New tales from the bottle!!!!!!!
good to have ye back.
I think this is the best one Ive seen so far. I need more of these.
Not macabre, but simply absurd.
When I heard you say Colonel, I thought this video was about Colonel Sanders. I said to myself "there's no way it would be about that", but after you said that it was about KFC; I paused the video and just started laughing.
How long have I waited for this
Too long
But it was worth it
It’s rumored one of the fans committed sudoku after the curse took effect
Ah yes, my favourite game, commiting sudoki
I cant commit to sudoku
Fuckin game takes too long
Seppuku?
your vids usually put a smile on my groomy face, thanks for that :-)
Always appreciate your vids! Keep up the great work!
"Maybe there just shit"
Qxir - 2019 with a true statement about the hanshin tigers
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking before he said it. I mean, 18 years at the bottom. Almost felt sorry for the Tigers before they fired Bossu-san. Even if he *didn't* notify anyone, he's going to see his son who has cancer! What kind of cold hearted, sick son of a bitch fires a father for trying to be there for there flesh and blood!?
Oh right, a Japanese business man. (And I use "man" very lightly in this case)
"After one victory, there were over 5000 fans in the canal." How big was the team?
when I was working in Japan I saw some hanshin tigers shirts for sale in the mall above the subway in tokyo. I didn't buy one the first time I saw them but then I was talking to a translator of ours and he said to not buy the Hanson tiger shirt because their team is very weak. so I never bought one. I never heard about this course but I knew just by default that Japanese are crazy fanatics for absolutely anything on the planet. I never heard this story. wild!
4:58 "fucking hell" LMAOOOOOO funniest part of the video
You know it’s a good video when you try to like it twice.
1:04
ANOTHER alt pewdiepie....how many of these are there!?
When you're watching tales from the bottle and then all of a sudden a new episode comes out :O
Yay new episode!!!
As an Oklahoman involved in politics I can absolutely say that we don’t care about our state reps and senators, hell we hardly pay attention to our federal reps
Your back
Randy Bass: the only weeb Japan actually likes.
The Curse is broken!
Adding going to a hanshin tiger game in full kernel sanders cosplay to the bucket list
Awesome ....good storytelling....
I miss this show so much
I love the tales from the bottle series it’s awsome
Post more of these I love them!
My favorite British man is back at it again!
Welcome back
He's Irish.
@@Theringodair oh yeah, my bad.
Guy that was here in 14 mins how do you not have 1 mill already cuz this shit is Amazing
Thank you
I thought the "curse of the colonel" is what happens when you eat too much KFC and end up running the Kentucky derby on the way to the bathroom.
This man deserves 1 mil
So, like mayo: they're both cursed sports teams that are cursed.
He's back and more funny and better
Greatest story ever told!
It's funny baseball is dubbed America's Passtime, when Americans much prefer football, and Japan loves baseball way more than we do
Ah, now that video cheered me up a lot. Thank you a lot for the laugh
Yesssss another video
I’m creasing at the canal bit omg
4:35 and the 20 or so seconds thereafter escalate quickly
I miss this old style of video
Feel pretty embarrassed having just searched if Colonel Sanders indeed hated canals.
I should have never doubted Qxir.
10/10 everytime. The Irish accent just makes it, everytime you say ‘f@cking’ I laugh.
Amazing
Spectacular
Qxir PMG THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING😂I love this UA-cam channel thank you so much for making videos!
He's back! Whoop! By the way, you need to say the word 'thirty' more... You thirty, thirty boy.
Just an idea for another short video. There was a dam disaster in snowdonia north wales at a place called ''Dolgarrog '' . 29 people killed , interesting little bit of relatively recent history . somewhere around 1925
I must say ur the funniest guy on UA-cam.. always making me crack TF up.. fuk canals😂
i too would be pissed if my statue got thrown into a shitty canal
💨💨...and the fans....@2:40, What a feelin👌🏽
Whoever came up with their twitter account follows should have been given a raise
Bro you ARE alive!!!!
4 minutes in and I'm checking to see if this came out on April 1st!
Genuinely made my day with the "last letters of KFC stand for f*ck canals". Thank you :)
This is like us serbs and our national football team, we always loose but are always enthusiastic.
Funny shit! I love tales from the bottle!
What an incredible story
It’s so funny where I live in japan tiger culture is just everywhere it’s crazy
You need to upload more for us please boss
Fun fact. Colonel Sanders once got into a shootout with a business rival.
There is a similar for an Argentinian football club involving 7 cats burried in their stadium. Please check it out.
YAY ANOTHER TALES FROM THE BOTTLE
18 years? Immediately I think: juhachi. That Chinpokkomon episode of South Park is in my DNA now lol
Such good content
Straight up the most ridiculous story ever and I love it
0:20 Well, considering the Col. Sanders persona is supposed to be based on an actual honorific "The Kentucky Colonel" that's not too far off in a sense.
This become anime episode in GINTAMA. When they kidnapped Colonel Sander's
Lmao "hnnnggggg Bassu san" 🤣
"It's a well-known fact that, in life, Col. Sanders hated canals. Indeed, the last two letters of KFC actually stand for 'Fuck Canals.'" See, this is the kind of humor I appreciate you for 😂
The Boston Red Sox had the Curse of Ruth (broken, though it'll still take an estimated 400 years for Boston to win as many World Series as the Yankees had by the year the curse was broken.)
The Hassan Tigers have this curse. Hope they can puzzle out some way of breaking it.
Great ending song btw
god i love how much human spirt they have
THEY ARE FULLL OF LIIIFFEE
As soon as you mentioned Colonel I immediately thought KFC
I got a post on Facebook, and it was a chicken's head, covered in the special 11 herbs and spices, and fried. I heard about a rat and a mouse as well, here in Australia. The last 2 times I ate the garbage it made me sick.
Easiest way to become a baseball legend
Step 1: join the Tigers
Step 2: be a decent player
Step 3: profit
good post thinx😆
Great merch
