- (Apologies to viewers of this video in Belgium, Luxembourg or the Netherlands. Apparently, even though I do not monetize any of my videos (because they are basically just movie clips with flags edited over them) UA-cam has seen it fit to 'partially block' the video on copyright grounds, meaning that people in the aforementioned nations are now blocked from viewing this meme. There is not much I can do about this, I'm afraid. The good news is that this is the only video that has, thus far, been blocked. Funny that it also happens to be my most popular meme.)
December 1941. The German Reich's plans for European (and even world) domination are going well. Europe is under Nazi control, Britain is subdued, and the Soviet Union is on the brink of collapse. Everything is falling into place, except for one thing.
In the east, the Empire of Japan is mobilising. Straining for resources to fuel their ambitious territorial expansion, the Japanese formulate a surprise attack on a sleeping giant. Hoping to knock their enemy out in one blow, Japanese planes bomb American ships at Pearl Harbour, aiming to inflict as much damage as possible. Immediately, the United States joins the war against the Axis on the side of the Allies. Immediately, the tides turn against Hitler. Japan may well be doomed - but will they bring the rest of the Axis down with them...?

Of course the German would know, he has seen the other end of the shotguns.
Boris of the Cheeki Breeki yup since ww1 lol
🤣 SO UNDERRATED
It's trench sweepers.
Kicking their asses so hard they tried to have a declared of war crime.
Mmm… I love German Complaint Generators.
"And sustainable fuel. Something you know very little about."
This one hurts the most.
Lol sustainable in a different sense....but if circumstances dictated,USA has more oil reserves that can be tapped than anyone else.....shit, ALASKA alone has more crude oil than anywhere else on the globe
Current president haven't sabotage it we wouldn't been in this mess. We can transition but not at the pace they claimed. Look at california and it false promises.
@@duuurs In terms of resources, Alaska in-game is rather poor, something you'd typically see in African provinces. No, where America gets the vast majority of its oil in-game is Texas, terrifying.
We do have enough fuel to survive without international trade, although it would increase gas prices and we would likely have to rush to find other sources of energy to compensate. The vast majority of America's oil & gas resources are being withheld for emergencies.
First, because you get more oil/gas out of a well if you pump slowly over a long period of time, so it's a bad idea to produce it all at once. Second, because America is paranoid and will never allow itself to become dependent on international trade again, especially after what OPEC did to us in the 1970s.
I'd just like it noted I was talking about fuel problems playing as Japan in Hoi4.
For most of its history (Manifest Destiny aside) America was the quiet kid in the back of the classroom; you don’t fuck with him, he don’t fuck with you; pissing him off is a terrible idea.
Don’t poke a sleeping bear
Now we’re the country everyone knows isn’t gonna do anything
@@nateyoder9372 if nukes were all destroyed after WW2, we would’ve done a lot of good, but we’re just too scared of Russia and China with their nukes.
@@nateyoder9372 isn't gonna do anything about what? If you are talking about ukraiine situation, they aren't part of NATO, fighting in ukraine means US should fight every war for another country because country who isnt in NATO would probably ask US to fight their war
@@nateyoder9372 in fact US supplied weapons more than European Nations combined
US tried to stay out of the game. they tried to stay in Splendid isolation, but damn it Japan you brought them back.
Master!
The sleeping giant has awoken.
@@profligate.genocider
Japan: *pokes us toes*
US: *wakes up*
Japan: oppsy poopsy
And they gave him war economy
Like America to Japan an 100 years ago during Matthew perry
Japan: *attacks pearl harbor*
USA: I introduce you to, the sun. Twice actually!
Ironic given that they are the land of the rising sun...
@@Civilized-Joke well now they’re the land of the three rising suns
@@amiclear4649 and their names are Hiroshima Nagasaki and Amaterasu
Funny but technically that would be the hydrogen bomb
OMG this is so perfect. 100% accuracy
You've Yee'd your last Haw Japan!
I'm about to kick some democracy into you, Japan!
Japan learned why you should never poke a sleeping bear.
Cause the bear will wake up, and it’ll be pissed.
yep
And be filled with a terrible resolve
And then proceed to drop the sun on them twice.
You mean the Soviets? I think you should've said a sleeping bald eagle.
It’s not a bear or Eagle it’s a giant
Japan: bombs Pearl Harbor but forgets to bomb the factories that make the ships
USA : pulls out a reverse and +2 card on japan
That would be hilarious if someone actually did an Uno reverse card when Japan strikes the harbor
Well no it wasn’t that they didn’t bomb factories. The main problem was the US had deployed most of its navy the day before so Japan had angered an entire fleet and missed their fucking aircraft carriers
The third strike was supposed to take out the Oil Tanks at Pearl Harbor they didn't do it
Mistake 2 it's called
i like how we actually didn’t want war with anyone but “someone” fucked around and found out the hard way
That’s happened many times in our history. In a documentary, George Washington had said, “It would be in America’s best interests to try and remain neutral”. We did try. Many times. Other counties kept pulling us into war by bringing the flames of war to our soil. We would strike back harder and they’d realize their grave mistake. But, the lesson still isn’t learned by some.
This is actually one of the better matching ones
USA after pearl was attacked: IM GONNA PUT MY PAIN INTO YOUR SOUL
"Germany-san" XD
Come on
In a funny way, Imperial Japan was Germany’s son, as the Japanese had Prussian and (after 1871) German instructors training and modernizing their military. They even had statues of these instructors. (Dunno if these statues are still around. I doubt it.)
America be like: “ah sh*t, here we go again”
I love how we wanted to remain neutral. The people didn’t want to fight another war. But then Japan fucked around and quickly realized why no one wants to fight America
@Pineapple2288 in conventional war. We have lost almost all unconventional wars lmao
@@harrisondarenberg9686can’t fight people if they dress and hide behind civilians.
The US is a rarity from its very beginning, and that was one reason why no one fights with America. Their revolution was against the British Empire, an empire which at the time was the most powerful country in the world and the greatest navy and won their independence, then they had the Spanish-American War which was yet another powerful empire and won against them. If they could take down two great empires, nobody would want to fuck with them. Of course they did lose wars here and there, but the wars they did win kind of put the fear of god in other nations.
late game america with nukes in the nutshell
Everything about the whole American hype-train/mythos is just awesome to me.
Pretty damn accurate. I mean. Y’know.
"America will come for you. And you will do nothing, because you can do nothing."
This is just historical fact.
This scene actually fits the events pretty well!
If you're not reading the subtitles, it doesn't make sense.
Also, if you understand the last scene and know the game, it's referencing the United States just finished the Focus that let's them join the war.
In reality, the German leadership _laughed_ at the production estimates they were given. They didn’t think it was possible for a country to be so productive.
These estimates were _below_ what the peak of American production hit by the end of the war.
Japan was an Orca thinking it was the boss of the ocean. Until it met America the Megalodon.
I fully expected there to be 2 nukes in the box at the end.
By far my favorite video, I love the comparison
Japan: *Bombs Pearl Harbor*
U.S.A: What have you done to Pearl Harbor!?
Japan: Have Mercy U.S.A I just wanted some oil supplies to fight China!
U.S.A: You are so dead!
Japan: U.S.A! Please have Mercy!
U.S.A: No Mercy! *Bombs Hiroshima & Nagasaki*
U.S.A: *YOU SANK MY MERCY AT PEARL. NOW IN RETURN. HERE'S A NEW SUN FOR LAND OF THE RISING SUN*
The United States is so powerful - in military, economics, and influence - that the only way it would ever collapse is if it fell from within, like the Civil War. And yet as divided as Americans can be, since the dawn of the 20th century every time the country was on the verge tearing itself apart, some i̶d̶i̶o̶t̶ outside force would try to blindside the United States, only to unite its people and awaken the giant - thus preserving the Union in the same stroke.
It's a strange sort of serendipity.
Fine then, I'll do it myself!-USA
This doesn’t even have to be a hoi4 meme this more a fuckin real meme 😂
Germany: What could be worse than me making a giant bubble (Broke Molotov Ribbentrop and declared war with Soviet Union)
Japan: (*Proceed to attacks Pearl Harbor) two bubbles! (Making US to join allies)
Germany: As long as no one fucks with the US we are gonna win the war.
Japan: Question?
Germany: What's your question?
Japan: I fucked with the US
Germamy:..what...
Quite literally the same situation in some aspects too. America was trying to stay out of war and john was trying to live a quiet life but got dragged into it by and outside force unprovoked.
I love the lore accuracy🗿🇺🇸
Its funny cause its true
(by turning them democratic) and "he was the one you sent to kill the fuckin boogieman" those 2 were a perfect pair.
Japan: *Bombs pearl harbor and kills thousands of people*
America: *Pulls out industrial sectors, Fuel, ships, tanks, men, lend lease, Alliance with the allies, and rebuilds most of their navy in just a few months*
Japan: I have awakened a sleeping giant
America: No you woke up the whole giant den
Japan: Guess I'll d- *Gets bombed*
*attack on pearl harbour event*
*immediately does the giant wakes focus*
That's a huge navy
Not gonna lie, got a bit scared.
You don't screw with America's boats.
Never bomb any american allies or territorys
@americana_incarnate1717
All Vietnamese still suffering from the side effects of Agent Orange: No shit
The HOI video I needed but didn’t know existed….. thank you.
Soo underated meme
100 percent facts
Japan: What are you going to do? Fight back?
USA: Like you’ve never seen (pulls out 105 aircraft carriers from back pocket)
And the sniper guy that saves him countless times is the USSR
When did that ever happen lol
@@ernestogastelum9123 in the film?
@Ladey Babey lend lease enters the chat
@@gorthsleeperofwomen900 Lend lease enters the chat, the world's best propaganda effort, props to the guy who gave the idea. It was not even 5% of regular soviet production and soviets didn't even use any american tanks as they were being pounded by the german ones. Moreover, the soviets paid the US back fair and square, it was simply a business trade, not any 'helping effort'. It is amazing how a lie that is so easily disprovable has got millions of buffoons believing that the US actually helped the USSR.
And the car guy is the UK
Imperial Japan: I'm going to attack Pearl Harbor!
Nazi Germany: I don't think that's a good idea.
Imperial Japan: Don't worry. *Bombs Pearl Harbor*
U.S.A: What have you done!?
Imperial Japan: I'm sorry, I just wanted to get Oil & Steel to fight China. I'm sorry.
Nazi Germany: Japan! How many times I have to tell you not to awoke the United States!?
Germany England and many others knew what it was like to poke the sleeping giant. Japan didn’t listen
England: Don't poke the Yanks.
Germany: Please not again.
Japan: *POKE* Ha! That wasn't so bad!
USA: *Lubing up the Freedom Fist* Oh, just wait.
We are ready to show Russia why we don’t have free healthcare
Japan : *Attacks america*
America 5 seconds later : Know pain! Feel pain! Accept pain.. I will not forget the pain Pearl Harbor experienced!... Shinra tensei..
ALMIGHTY PUSH!!!
loll
Pearl Harbard
Meme aside, it says a lot about the character playing Germany in this, that he KNOWS his son is as good as dead, nothing he does will change that, nothing his son does will change that. Have to ask, since I’ve never watched any of the John Wick movies, but does this dude hold a vendetta to John afterwards?
I pretty sure he died in the same movie trying to protect his son, but that’s just speculation
The reason that America was staying neutral wasn’t for it’s own safety. It was staying out of things for the safety of the axis
If only Russia understood this when it came to Ukraine.
America after japan attacked Pearl Harbor: IM GONNA PUT SOME DORT IN YOUR EYE…..TWICE
Us then :
You're going to prison.
The socialist :
We are just democratically elected.
Us :
I know.
America: Japan shall know my Pain!
hey, some people may not like the video, but I do
The funny thing is, Japan only sank three ships. Most of the American naval forces were out at sea during the attack.
“Nani?”
Killed me 😂 😆
Iron Blood: “It’s not what you did, Sakura Empire. That angers me. It’s who you did it to”.
Kaga: “Who? The fucking nobody”?
Akagi and Birmark slap her on each cheek* “That fucking nobody. Is Enterprise”.
Kaga: “The Grey Ghost”?
Akagi: “Well she isn’t exactly the Grey Ghost sister. She’s the one you call to kill the fucking Grey Ghost”.
Kaga: “But….she keeps coming back when we kill he-“. *gets slapped again*
Bismarck: “You will do nothing, because you can do nothing. She will sink you all, then burn your base to the ground. Now both of you, get out of my sight”!
Japan:Attacks Pearl Harbor
America: cue Pillar men Theme
Rest In Peace USA’s Dog named Pearl Habour
Nobody? Japan.... remember who Camadore Perry is. Remember how the states were the one who gave you that suit, that tie....the Kickstart to the Meji era.
and the little dog that he killed Was his girlfriend that played ireland.
This is so so true.. Very relastic meme
Joseph Stalin It is, the axis made a really big fuck up when they messed with America.
Joseph Stalin Not really realistic, Japan was desperate and needed resources so they chose to do the worst thing which they could do. Attacking the Soviets would’ve been a better choose probably, especially because America started lifting Europe to a big resistance after pearl harbour. And WW1 was a mess, just gas gas and gas and no one gave a shit lol.
Joseph Stalin I’m pointing out that Britain was free to do their stuff ever since America joined the war, and the resources and men of America and just the second front Dday and more really changed the war for the good.
@Joseph Stalin The soviets were starving to death and had no railroad system until the U.S. helped them... Germany would of took down Russia.
@@JohnSmith-oe5rx they thought they could slide a knife at the us navy, but missed the key to the navy, the carriers
Just wondering, how did you make this edit? What software?
when you’re chilling in hiroshima and suddenly see two suns
Would you fight me ,I would fight me so hard
Nazi Germany: *Puts a Swatiska Nazi Flag*
Imperial Japan: Dude! Are you trying to insult Buddhism?
Nazi Germany: No Japan.
Imperial Japan: Then, what is that?
Nazi Germany: A Buddhist Symbol.
Imperial Japan: Don't insult Buddhism or you are dead!
Had a mp game where I had 190 mills on planes. The axis bragged about winning the air war. That was their downfall. Pride before the fall
I’m so pumped for WW3
Hell yeah gonna be great
