How would you solve ignorance? *pulls sword from stone* How would you solve plague? *pulls sword from stone* How would you fend off invaders? *does not consider the use of a magic weapon forged to slay Britain's enemies*
For anyone actually curious about the meaning behind the Sword in the Stone: The sword represents justice, while the stone represents Christianity. When Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, it meant that he would pursue justice in God's name.
A better metaphor would that the sword represents humanity, and the rock all the problems it faces, so that when the King draws the sword his like warding of the problems that are plaguing humanity.
That's interesting---where did you learn that? Are you certain that wasn't a later interprepation frosted onto the legend? It sounds like something the Crusaders would say. And weren't these popular legends mixed with mythology, not Christianity? So I find myself (currently) doubting that being the original meaning. But it could be an interesting tradition indicative of the gospel (or maybe the Catholic Church) spreading over Britain.
Well this didn't age well, seems Trump has been doing pretty good the last few years, even with the DemocRATS lying and constantly attacking him, most the media twisting his words or straight up lying about him and blaming him for things he has no control over while at the same time not informing the people of all the good he's doing. Oh and let's not forget about how they say he's Hitler even when they defend terrorist and act like the Nazi party. Thank god Hilary didn't win with her track record she would have been a cross between Hitler and the red queen, dare to point out a flaw, you dead, have evidence of double dealing, you dead, proof her husband and herself are pedophiles, well he still dead but you get the picture.

I admire how consistent and creative Studio C is when it comes to persuade people to subscribe. I subscribed a while ago and I don't get bored easily on this.
I love how when he’s asked about resolving a war (the one point at which pulling out a sword would make a lot of sense) he tries to answer legitimately
The funny thing is the table being round actually *was* important as it meant there was no head to the table, so no knight ranked above the others, all who sat around it were equal.
I have probably watched hundreds of Studio C videos, and I always love the little "subscribe" shorts at the end, but Arthur's third reason there was the one that moved me to finally subscribe.
So the main difference compared to today is that back then the candidate with feasible and effective plans would lose the election, whereas today none of our candidates have feasible or effective plans.
I’d still take Arthur over today’s choices. At least he is competent in pulling swords from rocks, that’s better than most can do in the modern world we live in.
King Arthur was a magnificent ruler, this depiction of him is highly unflatering. We are talking about a man so commited to justice that he tried to execute his own wife because he refused to make an exeption for himself in the law when the same was demanded of commoners.
Me: The ending when he is listing off his reasons. On reason three, it shows that Arthur is actually rather smart, but loves to be entertaining. Win by not being boring, instead going for flashy. And then once on the throne, rule effectively. Also me: ...a sketch..it is a sketch. Do not take it so seriously.
Not often that the credits after a skit make me laugh, but actually having the benefit of subscribing to a channel explained when part of me was expecting to have the sword pulled from the stone again was hilarious and informational!
+Studio C What made me think that Merlin was schmoozing was his tone of voice when he commented about 2016 elections. What I think would be brilliant is a sketch where Merlin gets caught by Arthur while getting advice from Eric.
Thank you Arthur; that last bit was so informational! I now understand why you people continuously annoy us viewers with pleas for more subscriptions. You really are the true king of Britain.
I wish every UA-camr would explain the "why" of subscription as honestly and straightforwardly as you did here. It makes me feel like I'm making a purposeful choice, instead of just being caught up in a mob mentality.
I'm a huge fan of the Arthurian legend, So i got super excited when Arthur pulled the Excalibur from the stone. And the mention of Sir Lancelot and the wise wizard Merlin was great. Making the table round with obviously fix all our problems. Bravo.
If Sir Eric ruled, we would have flying cars right now.
So true
Viva la Resistance!!
Yep
But, where would we be without Excalibur?
In addition everyone would wear face masks without objections.
How would you solve ignorance? *pulls sword from stone* How would you solve plague? *pulls sword from stone* How would you fend off invaders? *does not consider the use of a magic weapon forged to slay Britain's enemies*

he LITERALLY has a "point".
This is a *perfect* representation of Arthur in the first season of Merlin.

It really is 😂
I binge watched that show so hard. Hated the ending to the last season though.

Phe, Monty Python? Are you suggesting that...
coconuts migrate?
If the crowd is dumb enough to fall for parlor tricks, then maybe Arthur is actually the smarter one since he knows his base. Hmmmm...
this comment is needed in this pile of cringe
This is *VERY* underrated
The point being is his base extremely dumb. He knows how to entertain idiots. A clown leading the circus.
Education is the bedrock of democracy
Dont know about you but i see a certain metaphore in this sketch.
For anyone actually curious about the meaning behind the Sword in the Stone:
The sword represents justice, while the stone represents Christianity. When Arthur pulled the sword from the stone, it meant that he would pursue justice in God's name.
Nicholas Johnson interesting. So he removes the element of justice from Christianity, forming a secular state?
@@Meshuga63 Not quite. It means that God would bestow upon Arthur the task of pursing justice in His name.
A better metaphor would that the sword represents humanity, and the rock all the problems it faces, so that when the King draws the sword his like warding of the problems that are plaguing humanity.
That's interesting---where did you learn that? Are you certain that wasn't a later interprepation frosted onto the legend? It sounds like something the Crusaders would say.

but now that the table is round it's just like whatevs!
Ah...I love Studio C so much! This was really funny! Thank you guys so much for making these!
Thanks for watching Mel!
I laughed more at reason three than any other part of the video
Wait is that why? I read that the round table was best because the rectangular one was jabbing the stomachs of those who sat at the corners.
"Not a metaphor, a synonym---education will help with this!" 😂😂
Everything finally makes sense! The metaphor was crystal clear, Thank You Jason.

Well, compared to 2020 those were intellectual highlights -.-

And he isn't corrupt.

Who else is re-watching this at 2020...and thinking 2016 looks... lets leave it there XD
I like how they switched between "thou" and "you" throughout the entire sketch.

They just predicted 2020 presidential debate 😧😮😯
4:15 WOW THOSE ARE GOOD REASONS IM DEFINITELY GONNA SUBSCRIBE!!!!
Those 3 points asking me to subscribe was so convincing I went back in time and subscribed to this channel.
At the end when he ask me to subscribe I was on the fence but then he took the sword out of the stone and I was convinced
Yah, you are right 😂😂😂😂😂
Erik was predicting 100’s of years into the future about hand washing.
I’m from 2020, this joke was better then the 2 debates we had😂😂😂
The castle they are pretending to be in is in Spain, check out the flag at 0:05
I can’t believe this episode was made before 2020
Not often that the credits after a skit make me laugh, but actually having the benefit of subscribing to a channel explained when part of me was expecting to have the sword pulled from the stone again was hilarious and informational!
The ending where he told you exactly why to subscribe was low key the funniest moment lol
Who is here in 2024
Yeah it just gets worse
"Wait until 2016" LOL XD
This video has aged beautifully
This aged like fine wine
"Such beautiful insight! The stone really is like a rock!" HAHAHA
I bet Merlin was just schmoozing the winner so he could become his mentor and implement Eric's ideas.
