As a child I believed all of them were the result of an earthquake, although earthquakes are unlikely to occur where I live. It was very fun avoiding them in the areas with bad pavement. I don't remember when I stopped doing it and why
That scene tho Guy:* lights his own cigarette and another dudes* Third guy:can you light mine to- Guy:* slaps third guy* you know the deal Jim,and can you stop asking me for a light
My mother also follows a superstion she says "Do not cut your nails at night". I think this superstion originated because in old days people didn't had nail cutter and they used to cut nails with something like sharp blade and at night when it was dark there might be a small chance of injuring themselves. That's my conclusion
@@AlexCruz-fm6fe I see that as simply a reason to take a break, or to excuse taking a break. Either a "don't be a workaholic" message, or a "this is why I don't work all day, bad stuff would happen if I didn't rest" message.
Funnily enough, one of the reason’s green is considered bad luck in theatre is because Moliere, a famous actor and playwright died after his performance of the Hypochondriac where he died in a coughing fit. It was rumoured he was wearing a green suit at the time. (Though it is also bad luck due to performing in outdoor theatre, you would blend in the background as dyes back then were made out of natural pigments.)
It makes sense to avoid walking under a ladder. You could shake the ladder or even knock it over because there's not much room under them to walk and they're not that stable to begin with. When people are up on a ladder they are usually painting or using tools, or cleaning. Whatever they're using or removing could be dropped or fall on you, especially if you make the ladder wobble.
Tracy Paxton my dad's a retired bricklayer, I worked for him to pay my way through university. I once saw a bloke get a 1lb hammer dropped on his head from about 30ft up, the force of the blow destroyed his hardhat and left him concussed for a good 2 days ... Tbh he was lucky it was a glancing blow and he had a good quality dome on or he'd be dead!
why lighting three cigaretes is dangerous 1. First person: sniper notices something 2. Second person: sniper aims and adjusts his scope 3. Third person: he fires
The lesson is really interesting in this one and the animation really helps us visualize it. And let's not forget the narrator. Great job to all of them.
Walking under a ladder is one that actually seems to have a bit of sense to it. You're far less likely to either bump the ladder or get something dropped on your head if you go around it.
Yeah its not really a superstition at all as the most common causes of death and injury on a construction site are falls from height and stuff being dropped from height. It basically like saying don't step out into traffic, most times you will be fine but it dosnt mean its a sensible thing to do.
Can we take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous animation? The colours, the clean lines, the flowing movement... Ted-Ed really did a great job on this one. As for the video, it was very informative too!
Another superstition that had some relevance is the breaking of a mirror. During the times of masters and servants if a servant broke their master's mirror it would cost the servant approximately 7 years wages to recuperate the loss to their master.
I’m South Korean and I was born 4:44 in the morning. I’m very unlucky but luckily, my parents aren’t superstitious. That sentence doesn’t make that much sense.
Horrid ted animator, people praising the animator are dull in the head. How can they promote animal violence - even if it was a 'joke'? They put in a cat for internet fanservice, then they abuse it. Pitiful.
Holy shit the animation is awesome! Also in Malaysia, in some high rise building, all the floor with 4 is replaced by 3A, so 4th floor is 3A, and 14th is 13A, and so on.
Demetrica Pryor One day, you have your own life and live like a smarter person in life. I understand you have to believe it because of traditions but open your minds and think logically it will distinguish you between a briliant people and people who easily get fooled. Except if the 'superstition' were logic like the video already explained. I am Asian in South East Asia believe me there is more crazy supersticious in this region. And again if this is about tradition and family i respect it, you have a right to preserved some of supersticious tradition.
in Nepal we have this belief that , women should be kept out of kitchen during their menstruation cycle ... the original purpose was to give lady some rest at least once a month like for 4-5 days , cause she must have been exhausted of all household chores ... but people misused that and started treating women bad ... and treat them like untouchable ... and we have another , don't cut nails at evening ... which i believe was because of lack of lights in old times and knife or some sharp object they used to cut nail , which is no longer a issue . all (mostly ) these superstitions were created by someone with good intentions ... which might not be relevant now or even be blended and twisted for wrong desire .
Wow, I've often wondered where the first one came from, and your theory is pretty amazing!!It's true that most practices had started with a good purpose and intention but over time we've corrupted it. Particularly true for religions, nowadays people forget the whole point and simply concentrate on being ritualistic fanatics....
I know that this video has excellent explanation, but I would like to point out how great the animation is! I really impressed about how you create the transition from one scene to another, the continuity and the smoothness from the transition is freaking good!
I always imagined that avoiding walking under ladders just came about because there was a good chance somebody might drop something on you. And opening an umbrella indoors is probably a good way to break things.
"No one is born knowing to avoid walking under ladders, but if you grow up being told by your family to avoid these things, chances are they'll make you uncomfortable, even after you logically understand that nothing bad will happen" Religion in a nutshell
Jesus rocks dude, i’m religious too, but you don’t need to push it on people or get angry when people are upset about it. religion has hurt many people in a roundabout way and there’s no denying it. you just have to be accepting of it

Mind blowing animation in a guise of visual storytelling. The animation alone is capable enough to tell a good story. And obviously lived the facts and data
My parents came from Hong Kong (and today now live in Alameda, CA along with my entire family), and in one particular building in the downtown, which is actually a restaurant along the entire height of the building, the numbers 4, 13, 14, 24 are completely removed from the building’s floor count, so the restaurant that me and my parents went to in the building when we were on our Hong Kong/Taipei trip was located on the 11th floor as said, but in reality, it is located on the 10th floor, because the 4th floor in the building had been omitted, and the same applies to the 13th, 14th, and 24th floors; also, the building has 29 floors, when in reality, it has just 25 floors. So that was something interesting I brought up. Sorry if it took me too long to post this comment.
I always love these animations, but this one especially deserves gold. Also, ladders may be a superstition but I can see why. Especially the ones that are just over the wall and anything can fall at any time

The one superstition I always found weird was “never mention the Scottish Play (Macbeth) during the entire production of your play.” I found this out a few years ago during my first college play and, since I’m not a superstitious person, I always made sure to say or talk about Macbeth at least once during a rehearsal.
As a thespian myself, I learned that it was bad luck, especially reciting the witches’ monologue because it was rumoured witches put a curse on the play as a whole. Granted, I have never performed a Shakespeare play, well not in full. My theatre studies class was going to perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream but it was scrapped because people could not learn their lines fast enough.
Well that one makes sense considering there were so many deaths of actors and audience members during the production of the play, so it got the reputation of being cursed

Which is probably how this one came to be. Even though it's less of a case of "bad luck" and more of a case of "possibly hurting oneself"
