Yo creds for the Lincoln/Washington series, that shit is hilarious. My friends and I watch it while we smoke, since we finished black mirror. 10/10 replacement

Sounds like you had a cold making this video
I Disagree because i don't actually know why I disagree
Awfully bold of you to assume that I'd ever be capable of learning a whole language in 3 weeks. I spent years learning French and still couldn't read a page of French text.
Still waiting for "The day negative numbers were invented"
Then, logically, we need rationals, irrationals, imaginary and complex, then quaternions that are all the square root of -1. Would be fun
And after that, he should do imaginary numbers. That be interesting to explain to someone the first time in history 😂
What else do we have confusing in maths? Maybe the concept of infinity and that there are different kinds of it?
Maybe exponents would be cool too. If it makes you sound like a scammer or a crackhead, Zach will make it sound like both
"you owe me 4 money, how much money do you have"
"0"
"so 0-4 moneys"
Zach's ability and willingness to travel back in time to these noteworthy events is commendable.
Yeah zachs channel is underated for the only human on the planet to build a working time machine that has never seemed to fail
Hes not traveling back to these events. Is going back and creating the events themselves. All for our benefit.
I think the subscribers being willing and able to keep this bit going is amazing.

Zach certainly has an impressive vocabulary lol
...Take my like for this underrated comment.
The fact that #12 is actually in there made a comment already worthy of an award, absolutely legendary. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
Verisimilitude was a vocab word I had in high school english once
Dam it take my like and leave
A dictionary is only good to fluent speakers of a language to learn next level words, but literal building block words are absolute hell to describe and/or understand and/or comprehend.
"weary - to make or become weary"
It's like describing smells or tastes to someone with no sense of smell or taste.
@@MyHandleIsGood Why not go for the blind example? Describing sights to a blind person
"clock - an intricate apparatus, whether fashioned through meticulous craftsmanship or advanced electronic engineering, meticulously designed to delineate and exhibit the relentless march of temporal intervals, delineating them into meticulously calibrated units such as seconds, minutes, and hours. It accomplishes this feat through a labyrinth of complex mechanisms, adept at transmuting physical motions or electromagnetic impulses into discernible and comprehensible manifestations, thereby embodying humanity's perpetual quest to quantify and apprehend the ethereal concept of time within the confines of our perceptual realm."
ESL here, to use dictionary you don't have to be fluent, in many cases basic understanding in enough to understand majority of commonly used words in English.
“We haven’t talked in two hours” said Zach to his imaginary friend
Said his imaginary friend to Zach!
The demystify definition was too accurate
The mystify one was even better.
Well it makes sense in online dictionaries, because you can click on the base term.
“From tree to forest” lol
A couch or a sofa😂
At least he didn't say "from river to sea"
@@venturer9400 At least he didn't say "march to the sea".
He couldn't see the forest for the trees.

When I was a kid my school forced me to look up words in the dictionary daily. Supposedly to give us a better vocabulary. It always took no less than 10 minutes because we were children and didn't understand how that sort of thing worked. If these two had written the dictionary we had to look things up in it would have been a much more enjoyable experience.
Bro same. I got to the point where I knew so many words that I could answer without looking them, all because I read them while searching for the word they had us looking up. This would have made it much more entertaining.
Me who just goes about my day and then googles a random ass word: *Hippity, hoppity, this word is now my property.*
I was one of those autistic kids who liked reading dictionaries. Looking back, I can see why I had no friends.
@@wilhelmbuzzkyll We would have been friends ha. I always liked the "odd" people as they were called back then.
Yer
I like that “A” had the most detailed definition and then every definition after that was just thrown together. Kind of like how I do my homework.
"Are u high?"
"Yeah"😂
When I was in high school, I made up a word called "Impostulance"
The definition was "It means whatever you want within the context of the sentence"
So whenever I couldn't think of the right word to use, I would use "Impostulance" as a placeholder and would hope that my teachers didn't notice.
They all noticed.
The "sell me this pen" variants in your videos will never get old!
"Should we define mystify here then?"
"No, fuck 'em. They can look it up in the M section"
the actual realism is scary
zach becoming more insane everyday, and im here for it.
I am so grateful that someone was willing and able to make a dictionary
The mystify/demystify duo were great
I wish get-a-paw was there
Wtf is that mean

I swear to God one of my first thoughts were "is this a sequel?"
It would have been hilarious 😂.

New skit idea:

“What if e-sports games where played like sports games”
4:05 this is literally the only reason this video exists 😂
Alright, I'm going to to start saying "An Uniform" "An University" "An Universe" "An Unicycle "😂😂😂
"invented by two friends: Dic and Tionary" made me snort out loud
I like the word "uxorious" actually. It means "Excessively submissive or devoted to one's wife." So it's a very professional way of calling someone a SIMP.
From the "comedy skit" side of UA-cam all the way to the "talking to yourself for 5-10 minutes" side of UA-cam and more, Zach Star videos are my favorite way of spending my day.
Don't forget his other channel where he explains math concepts that I'll never fully understand but I watch anyway.
The brothers Grimm, circa 1830:
This man should be a professional comedian
Isn't he?
I guess everyone can petition something like SNL to give him a writing job. Still, he writes comedy for money and is, probably, making a living doing so. Consistently sponsored as well. Like SNLs commercials.
Honestly i love his work exactly as it is.
The simplicity of alot of the props and costumes just helps sell it so much, especially when some of the plots are so out there and indepth. The contrast between those aspects is pure gold
Idk. It fits him more to do those videos
Fr😂😂😂
Dude...did you write this ENTIRE sketch around the idea that it would serve as a segue for an ad for Babel!?
Nice!!!
The anachronisms in these kinds of skits ironically fit very well
I thought that was the word we used when there’s no government…
@@wesleymclain9146that's anarchy
@@wesleymclain9146 look it up in the dictionary dude 🙄
Jill went for Eminem but little did he know, Eminem read his dictionary for fun.
ooh Jill must've left him for the guy from "When you Google a word you don't know"
He mystified the word mystify 😮😂
Verisimilitude is literally my favorite word. Consider yourself activated!
Only zach can make a skit idea about dictionaries so freaking funny
Video idea: being in a long distance relationship be like
The “sell me this pen” is seriously so well incorporated better than Jordan Belford ever thought it could.
Zach's descent into madness is amazing
If Daniel Thrasher and Zach were willing and able to collab, it would officially be the most unhinged video in the history of UA-cam.
This video is unequivocally delectable
Same energy as "Let's make a book with 1 million digits of pi" or something.
Non-Zach God giving two random people Babbel would be the coolest origin story to Babbel’s existence ever made
Did anyone else ever mix up dictionary and thesaurus even though they aren’t alike at all when they were younger or was it just me?
Abscond - what that guy did with your girlfriend.
Interesting history lesson on the origin of the dictionary
The day the urban dictionary was invented...
Zach read the definition of Left and got pissed off enough to make this entire video
I want the Zach Star Dictionary
I am surprised guetapens didn't make an appearance in this piece as a running joke.
Guet-apens is directly borrowed from French just like rendez-vous or déjà vu so it may not be a good fit here, but I respect your knowledge of the word :)
@@Earenda I only mentioned it, since he has another video doing a spelling B with that exact word, hence making it a running joke since it would have fit in here.
The pen drop was an excellent reference LMAO!
I'm so glad Zach is both willing and able.
Should have had a section at the end where the guy writing it all down says, "Well, that's the dictionary done but honestly I have some qualms." "Like what?" "Some of these spellings dude. Like 'colour'? Why is there a 'u'?" "Then go make your own damn dictionary Webster!" "Alright Oxford."
This is one of many great videos that leads to a great break in to one of the best sponsorship ad when it’s placed into a video! Why can’t more UA-camrs do something more like this!? 😂
I would have liked guetapaw (?) to appear somewhere in there.
You just activated one of my neurons from high school in like 2017 😂

Thank you, Dick and Tionary………… you’re the HEROES that we never knew that we needed…………… ❤
Bro have you seen the revamp done by Ford and Ox?
So many good jokes here. This is probably my new go-to video if I were to recommend this channel to someone.
best definition from an old polish dictionary: "Horse" - everyone knows what a horse is
I'd genuinly buy this dictionary
Should've added this exchange:
"Wait, I'm pretty sure what you just said is not even a word, I think you just made that word up to score political points or something, you can't just go around making words up!"
"Uh, aren't ALL words just made up?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Good point, moving on."
"Sybaritic! Definition: You say this, you're probably a douchebag! 'Cause who the FUCK knows what that means!"
It is a word used to describe someone who excessively seeks luxurious things and pleasures or to describe a luxurious lifestyle. The sybaritic lifestyle of the supreme leader causes all of his people to suffer from poverty.
Love your content keep up the great work
so, regarding "left", what if i am laying on my back, but facing North.
what if my BODY is aimed East, but i am FACING North. does that definition hold up?
I love the blank stare and "What?". Such a Zach Star classic!
i think it's important to note just how many definitions for "a" there are. in the mirriam webster dictionary, there's 13 different sections and within those sections are 18 abbreviations, 5 prefixes, 1 suffix, 1 combining form (basically a prefix or suffix, but in the middle of the word), 3 prepositions, 4 indefinite articles (as well as a sub-sub-category with 9 variations), and 7 ways for it to be a noun.
edit: there's also a whole thing on a vs an but that isnt counted as one of the 13 sections
So much work was put on this one!
The left definition killed me 😭😭🤣🤣
"From tree to forest!" Instead of like... Apple to Zebra or something idk, this made me crack up 😂😂
Jill
/dʒɪl/
proper noun
1. A female given name.
2. Generic use for any female (as Sheila in Australian English), especially paired (since the 15th c., compare Ienken and Iulyan) with the male Jack.
3. A young woman; a sweetheart; like the variant spelling Gill it was also associated with various assertive uses of the term flirt, as in flirtgigg (used by William Shakespeare for a 'woman of light or loose behavior')
Meanwhile Zack's definition: A bitch.
I love how he shows his small vocabulary by picking similar words😂
1:04 “supply and demand” 😂😂😂
Next up, "The guy who invented sarcasm" 😂
Video Idea "If presidential speeches were like middle school student council speeches." Also Im a big fan, keep up the work.
Your left is apparently not your left if your facing north upside down
In Poland there's a pretty famous case of a dude called Benedict Chmielowski - who decided to write an encyclopedia, which for the most part was exactly on the level of this skit.
It's been hundreds of years, yet to this day people are having a laugh at : "Horse - as it is, everyone sees." My phone actually auto suggested the phrase
"from the Southern tip of Italy, to Northern Italy" Hey at least he's consistent with it
Greatest ad slide in ever. Genuinely did not see it coming at all.
pretty funny idea. It would be pretty the same if u make the situation of google Street view:
like they have to drive at every street in the world. Just an idea for u
This guy literally just used a collection of words on my spelling bee list last year
Why is this so funny?! I did not expect to laugh this much!
Zach saying “I can say anything I want” was lowkey a flex to a lot of other countries, I paused the video to point that out, back to it

Gets sued, goes to prison.
mystifying
lmao i thought it was the end after he said lets do this after he said ill split the profits with you XD
the mystify gag was great
A "Blarney" was hilarious.
Zygomatic is a chill word
I feel like the definition of left is what led Zach to make this video
Each time I visit Kilarney, I get a blarney.
I was ~that kid~ who used to hide the dictionary in my desk so I could always read it.
He couldn't see the forest for the trees.
So Babel will keep you out of jail, but if you're IN jail will it teach you prison slang?
i love how you look up the definition of left and said i hate this
You knew the segue was coming at some point. Luckily I had a dictionary to know what it meant 😂
Not the dictionary we want, but the dictionary we deserve... I want one!
"Tintinnabulation" 💀😭
Fun fact, one of the first dictionaries definition of a horse was ‘everyone knows what a horse is’
Lost it at the mystify definition
I just checked my dictionary to make sure it has an entry for dictionary. Who the hell goes to a dictionary to find out what a dictionary is?
Surprised guetepaw isn't here
i’m mildly humoured by the implication that there’s a book with every word without the definition
