He just grabbed two mismatched shoes out of the trash and won the events? He just DID IT? Nike would never be able to sponsor this guy.
He'd sponsor Nike.
He didn't take a knee during the national anthem so he's not very marketable
@@generalcrustard0311 Cause Kap is clearly the only athlete with a Nike contract.
The last of his kind he would’ve, bc he faced an insane amount of racial oppression, like having his medals taken away for stupid reasons, not getting them back until after he was long dead. The reason they were taken...white athletics were threatened by him.
Printez Stroman underrated comment
He entered high school *full grown bearded man walks into frame*
KrazyKing13 :: You actually think this ‘ish is accurate. 🤣🤣🤣
Man presumably in his 40s walks into frame 😂
When I can’t go out thrifting I watch you videos to know what to look for ! Thanks so much for being a great resource!
Also Jim Thorpe was native American, pretty much the only race which does not grow facial hair.
He already had that beard and musculature since birth. Don't judge. 😂
“You’re the greatest athlete in the world.”
“Thanks.”

Hail Satan

the same energy as
"so, you are Beyoncé"
"thank you
probably the most savage answer you could give in that moment.
I live ten miles from Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania, an entire town, dedicated to him! My favorite place ever!
@Robert Spencer hiiii
Fucken Pennies livin' places....
Well i live in Carlisle and lived on Carlisle Barracks where he once lived and trained.
I live 30 miles from Yale.
I grew up about 10 minutes from where he was born. Definitely a big deal here in OK.
“Thanks King” was his full response. Legend.
i’ve done EVA-RA-THANG 😂💀
🍻🍻🍻🍻😂😂😂😂🍻🍻🍻🍻
Kris Danielle shout outs to Kat Williams
Hey Guh that was my favorite part lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Smack Smack eva ra thang
I’m pretty sure Jason Mamoa wears two different shoes on a daily basis
Momoa** but yea
That was just random and stupid but I'll put a like on it.. 🤷🏽♂️ 🤣🤣🤣
I bet he doesn't wear shoes. He's so chill.
He definitely wears climbing shoes - have you seen his bouldering wall in his backyard?
Of course, he doesn't just wear 1 shoe
"I bet finding two shoes in the trash that fast would be pretty hard."
"Actually super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Wait which channel am I on?!
“Oh, really?”
Khal Drogo: the early years
It was how he got his first braid. Lol.
Tee-hee, confusing Mandalorians with Khals. The nerdery is strong in us. 🤣🤣🤣
I just laughed so suddenly and loud that it got people to come ask me if I was ok- thank you for this glorious comment.
Was looking for this comment
I love Drunk History, but am quite disappointed that you guys neglected to tell one of the most pivotal parts of the Jim Thorpe story, wherein he got stripped of his medals based on flimsy reasoning because the white establishment were threatened by a Native athlete outperforming them. He eventually got them back posthumously.
Yeah! Those white schools he played for? They all just hated him. Those white people cheering in his Olympic parade secretly hated him. I heard all those rich, white pro-ball team owners he played for hated him too! That's why they paid him top dollar for him.
To this very day the NFL shits on his memory by awarding a player the Jim Thorpe award every season.
@@daviswhite3591 his medals where stripped because the white establishment didn't like him lol Every black athlete can attest to this.... White ppl loved them and hated them but most of them couldn't even walk through the front door of a restaurant in the country where white ppl "loved" them.
Jesus Hondo Christ. First off, Jimbo wasn't full blood injun and he wasn't brought up poor.
Secondly, at the time of his Olympic victory professional athletes were not allowed to compete. In college Thorpe played semiprofessional baseball in the summers for pocket change. In the eyes of the IOC this made Jimmy a Pro and they took his medals.
Shitty? Yes. Racial? No.
Here's a thought: why don't we just look up how many Olympics athletes have been stripped of their medals and see how many are "minority" people? OBVIOUSLY if the IOC is racist we'd be able to see it in the data.
Quick look annnnnd wow!
The IOC is clearly racist!
Over 85 percent of medals stripped are from the necks of white people!
I was surprised that they didn't mention this too.
*walks into high school with a full grown beard and a half sleeve tattoo
...cool!
Same
Jim Thorpe wasn't the greatest American athlete.
He was the greatest athlete on the entire fucking planet.
Wilt Chamberlain
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jackson
@@classof2010president Maybe if Wilt was half as athletic as he thought he was!
As someone with a history degree really love this series. It is both funny, inspiring, and sheds light on some not well known history.
Same. Except just a history nerd, not a degree or anything. It was always so difficult to expose my sin to history. With this show it keeps him glued.
Jason needs to the one telling one of these stories too 😂
Probably not in the budget to get an entire Momoa drunk.
That would require an unreasonable amount of Guinness. lol
That’ll take a whole shelf behind the bar
Then they might as well do this at a gas station, because he's going to need two pumps worth of alcohol... If that 😒
@@snarpify Also, I'm pretty sure he's one of those functioning drunks who can still hold a conversation while wasted. Drunk History is only funny if the person drinking is a lightweight.
Since Jim Thorpe was pretty clean-shaven in all his photos, this goes to show: do not ask Jason Momoa to shave his beard.
@Julia Mimi It was for his canned water business
“I think I’m gonna work harder than anyone you’ve ever seen and I’m gonna be your motherf*****.” I was sooo dead!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So how did he prepare?
How did who repair?
Jim Thorpe
For the Limpics?
I love Drunk History!
same!
I can’t believe they got Jason momoa to play my ancestor!!!!
Dude imagine working for this show 😅
I'd die. Of liver failure.

Dude I'm crying. ... and drunk too, WHOOOOOP WHOOOP Jim Thorpe man!!!
He was just like I’ve done EVER-Y-THING.. I’m talkin’ about EVER-Y-THING 🤣🤣🤣
Thorpe was also commissioner of what would later be known as the NFL. He was awesome
Ginger Weatherbee Logo should be him
These are fun and informative! Jason Momoa is a great choice, and I enjoyed the segment with Lisa Bonet portraying the story of Mary Ellen Pleasant. 😄
While I totally appreciate that you are choosing to honor Jim Thorpe, I think you make a huge mistake by saying "he entered Carlisle High School". This was a school where Native American children were removed from their Native families (he was from Oklahoma) and forced to go to school there with the objective, and I quote from its founder, "kill the Indian and save the Man". I've seen you do a great job addressing racial and social injustices on this program. I wish you would have contextualized his accomplishments in this way. He truly was remarkable and overcame way more than you depict here, including being stripped of his medals because he was also a "professional" athlete. He was the greatest athlete and even greater if you think about what he went through.
Maria Bruno also they had a non native man play him
@@reynak2545 you know what at least it wasn't a white guy.
@@reynak2545 Jason has stated he has some Native Ancestry through his mother.
You also made a mistake by stating mildly that Native American children were "removed" from their families. On the my reservation (the Navajo Nation), 3 generations of children were literally hunted down and kidnapped, regardless of whether the parents gave consent or were even present.
This is "Drunk History" and if you are trying to hold it to the standard of history books it might you who have a problem here. Complaining about Drunk History not getting every detail and fact right is about as smart as expecting good business ideas from a coke head.
Damn. Jim Thorpe. What a champion. Didn't realize he mastered all those sports after winning the Olympics. That is insane. What an unreasonably high bar to set. 😳
I clicked just for Jason! He's eh-vah-reh-thannnng 😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't realize this was a comedy until I saw comedy Central logo
@Alexander Brown you confused yourself when you re-read your comment because of his name.
@@BobbySacamano lmao 🤣🤣
dav NO drunk history is one of the funniest and most accurate shows ever! I’ve watched it for years.
So you thought they purposely had people get really drunk to do a serious show about history? (Jk)😆😆😆
(At 1st i thought it was a comedy sketch show using historical figures but by the 3rd episode i realized what they're saying is real, it's just hearing a drunk person narrate is what makes it hilarious😄)
muellerphyllis :: Far from accurate but hella funny.
Us Okies learn about him in school, he's a big deal in OK. It's cool to see his story getting some love, he was amazing.
I am so happy to live on a planet with a man that looks like Jason Momoa. We are all very lucky to share this timeline with him.
I love that they got Jason Momoa, but it's kind of depressing that they couldn't get an actual native american to play Jim Thorpe, because there isn't a single native american leading man in hollywood right now. Momoa is Hawaiian
he also has native blood as well as white. but it is a shame there arnt any native leads
Is that just a casual observation or are you implying that's because they are actively being held back? Because that would be idiotic.
@@gunslinger2566 he's said in interviews that he's got native blood along with Hawaiian
I read that as Heaven and i’m like why yes. Yes he is
I could lecture for hours on the issues Native American actors have faced in Hollywood and the film industry throughout history; but I'll just cut to the point and say this, Google "Martin Sensmeier as Jim Thorpe"... Have a great night
so im like 1000% sure i already watched this on youtube bcus i searched for it a few months ago but if im wrong thanks for uploading it again - this is one my favorite drunk historys
Jim Thorpe was the greatest athlete in the 20th century.
@Christopher Del Castillo damn..I thought he is butterfly swimmers
I think Bo Jackson would beat jim thorpe in anything g
@@BASEBALLfreakFORlife Bo Jackson came from a much later era though. Thorpe was Bo before Bo, well ahead of his time.
@@BASEBALLfreakFORlife You, sir, obviously don't know who Jim Thorpe is.
Nocona Roubideaux I do know who he is. He was a tremendous athlete for his time. But he also stood out so much because he was competing against mailmen and accountants.
Petition for Derek to summarize every drunk history.
My man keeps it simple... two messed up shows and a dedicated spirit! 💟🤴
I see Jason Momoa.
I click.
Simple as that.
aysumaysu me too
4:05 i'm here for Derek. I'm always here for Derek.
Jason Mamoa wearing shirts seems wrong somehow
gamerguy19981 :: So so wrong; illegal almost.
Love drunk history, i wish the episodes where longer
Make a movie of Jim Thorpe with John cena. See the irony, but still make a wonderful movie about this man. The world needs this.
makes you wish jim thorpe had lost his clothes, not his shoes
that's gay
@@DanteSarotti so?
@@DanteSarotti how intuitive, honey!
😂😂😂 yes I agree!
Yes please.
Shout out to Jim Thorpe, PA, the town I got engaged in.
I see Jason Momoa and I click.
" IVE DONE EVE..RY..THANG...❗I COULD DO 🤔😂I .... MEAN ...EV...ER...Y.THANG!❗😂😂😂😂...IM TALKING BOUT EVERY...THANG❗❗👏👏👏👏🤣
Oh, lord, that floppy-ass shoe had be lollin about.
Jim Thorpe used to eat diner with my family in Canton when he played for the canton bulldogs pro team. He even coached. But ya my fam was a sponser of the team and they were friends with him.
Jim Thorpe use to play hide and seek in the dorms at concho
Dude's drunk off his ass...."Who's this guy from??? 😆 I freaking lost it when Jason was running with those shoes on, and one of the soles was talking major ish!!! 😆
Wow that was really interesting! Great one
I can’t 😂😂 “this is crazzzyy”
James Francis Thorpe was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe became the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States.
The flappy shoes were a nice touch,
Brought tears to my eyes, he inspires us all
My FAVORITE story!!!!
This was awesome 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Jim Thorpe was a Badass. They even renamed a town in Pa. after him.
what?!!?! how am i now just hearing about this? Great story!
This is GREAT.
This is the best one by far
Guilty Pleasure. I Love These ------mn videos!
I love these Drunk History vids. I laugh like crazy. It's hard to explain to a friend why you like them though. I've given up. Fuck'm if they can't figure it out. Maybe b/c I'm a closet alcoholic . . . . ya think?
Jason Momoa just towers over everyone in this video 😂
Jim Thorpe is my great great Uncle. Just wanted to share that
I never heard of him. That’s incredible.
The host is always less drunk than the guests😂😂
Jim Thorpe: shoes stolen? No problem. Crushes opponents, wins the gold in trash shoes.
Me: Can’t find a sock, days ruined, goes back to bed.
This is one of my favorite videos because Jim thorpe is my multi great grandfather
When ev1 in the world was calling Mohammed Ali the world’s greatest athlete’s, my dad was teaching me about Jim Thorpe. So glad my generation grew up learning to be proud and not ashamed of our race.
Be a Native American from Oklahoma. when we were growing up playing football in the yard, you picked picked to be Jim Thorpe and the white kids were roger staubach . But we all loved the Dallas cowboys 😁 he was a hero in our community
The way he throws the javelin the first time 😂
jason momoa is truly the only actor who could sell this short comedic performance in such a great way. his comedic side is a bit underappreciated
lol I think this is the drunkest one yet 😂
The coach looks like Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell.
I seen Momoa in the thumbnail and I was in man lol
Hey they filmed all the stadium stuff at my college! That's sweet man.
Those shoes!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀⚰
I love alllll of the DH videos...4 stars!!!!
Glad to see Jason Momoa in the title credit... That said....
Would love to see a list of the guest stars on every one of these...
Then it becomes 5 stars...fo shizzle
Cheers!
"Jim Thorpe was a Native American",
enter Jason Mimosa 💀
Gosh the actor!!! He is so gorgeous!!!!
They got momoa to do this wow😂
His wife did one too.
Bo Jackson: I played Baseball and Football and was great at both.
Jim Thorpe: Amateur.
Bo Jackson: What was that punk?
Jim Thorpe: AMATEUR!
You forgot Jim Thorpe's medals were taken after returning to the USA. Fact or Fiction?
True story! It wasn't until the 90s that his family got them back. I live about 15 miles from Jim's hometown. He's a legend.
This is a fact, and very sad.
Why did they take them away from him?
@@minervaloves Because at the time the Olympics were supposed to only be for amateur athletes. He played professional baseball and so they ruled he was ineligible, but also probably because there was some underlying racism at work too. They actually restored them late: www.nytimes.com/1982/10/14/sports/jim-thorpe-s-olympic-medals-are-restored.html
The book "Native American Son: The Life and Sporting Legend of Jim Thorpe" by Kate Buford is excellent if you want to learn more.
Yeah, sadly the Olympics done the guy dirty.
Jeezus y'all give this guy straight moonshine or what?
I love the clapping, "ev-a-ra-thing."
YO!!!!! This me all day drunk and sober.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm done! Imagine how many drunks would believe the whole shoe story!!!
EVAH-REE-THAAYYNNGG!!
As a fellow chickasaw I know a lot about jim Thorpe. I've actually driven through his hometown in yale oklahoma. We okies are a different breed
Jason Momoa is just...just...♥♥♥
That bit about one of the other players taking his shoes happened to me. And another time someone removed some of the spikes from the bottom of my cleats and I didn't notice until too late. If you're too good you always have to look out for folks sabotaging you.
I love being a quarter Sac and Fox. Shine on Jim you awesome beast.
Guess what, giddyup!
If you are ever in Pennsylvania you should stop in Jim Thorpe Pa. Its a beautiful town Named for him.
Amei a história e participação do Jason Momoa
awman i love this show!!!
Its been a long time for me drunk history. Glad ur back. Made me laugh.
Awesome story about Jim Thorp!
This might the drunkest drunk history ever.
Nice
Jason Mamoa and Lisa Bonet decided to do episodes of Drunk history around the same time? I am all for it lol
Anything you want can be yours if you work hard enough for it. 😁💙
"It was in the newspapers, it was in, in, in, in, in, in EVERYTHING" you can just hear the wheels in his head turning "shit its 1912, there's no tv, no radio, no internet, shit what do I say"
