"If you haven't figured it out yet, Edmund's a dick." Probably my favorite line in any if these reviews.
+Legoindy7734 Here, here!
Great line.
It's pretty damn awesome. What's really great is that one line basically summarizes the book. X)
I love it too!
I'll be using that phrase
"it's always winter, but never Christmas"
That's some bullshit!
I lost it right there
+viKing1428 Same XD
+viKing1428
If it snows and it ain't Christmas, then it ain't worth shit!
+viKing1428 Ah well, I don't have a problem with that. I guess black people have it tough in the cold, though.
Thomaster шлепанцы

Natasel
I don't have any survival gear, but I take the occasional naked winter stroll.
Though I have to admit that usually I'm wearing a T-shirt and every other year even a sweatshirt once or twice, so I have no right to claim that the cold does not bother me.
I'm not at the level of ice water skinny dipping, though.
"Guess where we been bitches? NARNIAAAAA"
I nearly spit out out my water!
"Since she's so damn real, he lets her go" This is the funniest thug notes yet
"If you haven't figured it out by now, Edmund's a dick."
Hahahaha, I nearly spat my food across my desk.
+Metabeard And here, here to you too!
lol
Mine is "Bitch, I'm f**king Aslan"
That's one of my favorites too. My other favorite is "Guess where we been, bitches? NARNIAAAAAAA!!!"
I really want to thank you for being really cool about the christian parallelism in this book. You explained the author's intent respectfully and unbiasedly where else a lot of people would have bashed it for its christian morals. So thanks :)
Not to mention doing it in a hilarious way.
Yes, I agree with you 👏
I've tried Turkish Delight. It's good....but not sell out your siblings good.
it was magic turkish delight
For me it is.
Finally someone who agrees with me! *gives high five to Zenon*
Crystle-Marie Loomos was it magical Turkish Delight?
Exactly. Only donuts are worth selling your soul for. Just as Homer Simpson.
"Aslan: the nappy Jesus lion"
That's what I'll call this book from now on.
"Way to fuck shit up Edmond" pretty much the whole book
I know! And the movies totally ruined this by making him sympathetic. He is the Trump supporting relative to your relatively progressive person. He is a dick. He is a little shit. It's as much a story about his reformation as it is about Jesus.
"Peter like 'HEEEEEELL NO!!!!!'" Freaking hilarious!
C.S. Lewis thought up the multiverse theory before it was cool
Moorcock my dude
Actually Newton was actually the first to theorize of the multiverse
@@miguelherrera5654 He means in novels
@@shiroiku9314 Technically that would go to dc comics.
@@michaelterrell5061 Wouldn't it be HP lovecraft who also thought of it.
"The Cross ain't light" ... WOW, well said.
When I was in high school I discovered this book had SEQUELS. SIX OF THEM.
I was stunned.
Kinda sad that we'll never get the rest of the books.
"Sounds like C.S. might've been hotboxin' his wardrobe."
DEAD
as a christian, i like the way this dude sums it all up
same
True
Me too! God bless this dude! 😂😂😃
Fo Sho
Like wise. I showed this to one of my pastors & he asked if he did the other books. Guess he liked it.
I LOVE the Chronicles of Narnia. But now I'm never going to be able to read the part where the White Witch confronts Aslan about Edmund without thinking "snitches get stitches" ever again. XD
Thug notes & Chill?
I'm down be there in ten
+Kayla Lindo 20 minutes into Thug Notes & chill and he give you this insightful analysis
+Yung Chase lol!
when and where babe?
"NARNIAAAaaAAaAaaA!!!"
"In case you couldn't figure it out, Edmunds a dick."
So many awesome lines here!
I loved this book growing up. As an adult, the religious overtones can be kinda overbearing (I grew up Catholic, currently agnostic).
Still a good book though.
+Poisoned-cupcake Loved the books as a kid. Read Prince Caspian so many times the book actually split in half. Had the same reaction you did trying to reread them as an adult. As far as Edmund, yeah, as a kid reading them, he came off as a mean little dickbag, but as an adult, I can't help feeling bad for a character who's really just a little boy being manipulated into betraying his family and possible getting them killed (whether he knows it or not). Though maybe his denial of Narnia being a real place was a way to try to protect his siblings from the white witch. #fantheory
+Poisoned-cupcake Same for me (ex-catholic, currently agnostic). They were the first books that I got really invested in. It helps a lot that Lewis writing is very clear and easy to read. I think my favorites are The horse and his boy (it is the only one that is completely told in-world and a great coming-of-age story) and Voyage of the dawn traveler (I loved how different each island was and how each had a unique story).
Dgmw, I think that there's a lot of really good stuff in here about love and forgiveness that definitely reminds me of why I actually love religion, but there's also a LOT of really heavy-handed symbolism and non-Christian shaming in the other books, which is the main issue I take w the series as an adult (I'm gay and had to deal w a lot of similar shaming growing up)
+Robert “Frank” Martin lets not forget the fact that edmund just sorta lost his parents they cant take care of them because of that silly war and he seemed to be the one who is most upset about it
So, I'm here out of honest curiosity, no arguments or anything, but where was the non Christian shaming in these books? It's been a while since I read them but I really don't remember that...
Deep respect for the *Mere Christianity* reference. This analysis is one of my favorites.
Although being a Christian, I have yet to read it. My mum told me she recommends I wait to read it after a few years since it's geared toward older Christians. But yeah, love that reference to it, I never knew that was where the statue part came from. Definitely eye-opening.
@@QUARTERMASTEREMI6 'Mere Christianity' is a chore to read and abit preachy, but it does neatly wrap up CS Lewis's take on modern Christianity.
For best results I recommend reading Nietzsche first, most specifically 'Thus Spake Zarathustra' as it was a real catalyst for CS Lewis to write his books in attempted response.
@@fortusvictus8297 Huh, thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to read it sometime.
Here is another thing: In the book of Revelations, Jesus is referred to as "The Lion of the Tribe of Judah"
The books are RIDDLED with Christian imagery and allegory. You can still love the books if you aren't religious though. It's a beautiful story.
@@bettyjojoeharperre-imagina7322 I became an atheist after reading The Chronicles of Narnia in middle school. Reading it helped me to see how easy it is to create a religious-themed fantasy novel like the Bible (it is so for the most part).
@@gs7828 lol are you serious, the Bible is way deeper than that. C.S. Lewis was writing this specifically for children. Of course it’s going to be very fairytale-ish but the main doctrine of the Gospel of Christ i shown. It’s only easy to make stories like this once you know the Gospel, but the Gospel isn’t made up.
@@a.d4874 Of course there are many useful moral teachings in there, plus some virtues still common today. This doesn't make the dogmas written in there true or valid. As simple as that.
very subtle allegory, c. s. lewis
"Bitch, I'm f*ckin aslan, I do what I damn well please" that was exactly what happened
I'd love to see one of these on The Magician's Nephew, which goes into how Aslan created Narnia, and how the White Witch found her way there, and even how the wardrobe works as a portal to Narnia.
I would so love to see that one too. It is the first in the series , after all.
I would so love to see that one too. It is the first in the series , after all.
@@caitlyncobb8446 actually CS Lewis wrote this one first but Chronically It’s the first in the series
Aslan in Turkish means Lion.
+The Napoleonist are you serious?
It's like poetry. Each stanza rhymes with the last one.
hımmm..
+prohri uhri completely. Though most people mispronounce it. Its pronounced Ass-lan (this according to a Turkish dude I went to college with) not Az-lan. Then again, how many little kids do you know that could say Asslan with a straight face and not crack up?
+Robert „Frank” Martin There's only on 's' in it...
"GUESS WHERE WE'VE BEEN BIIIITCHESSS?!!!NaaaaaaaARNIAAA!" xD
DA NAPPY JESUS LION....Bruh. This gotta be the best WS video I've seen yet
I know there are 13 books but I'd love if thug notes did "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket
Dude thank you. I remember reading 2 of the books and procrastinated off of reading the rest until I forgot that it existed. Now I remember, btw, last time I checked they did a Netflix series on the books, don’t know if it’s good, but I know it exists.
@@gamelandmaster3680 it's pretty good, and faithful to the original. They took a few liberties, but it's the best books-to-tv show adaption I've seen in a while.
Hey, do the rest of the series!
YUS!
I'm really appreciating these longer, more in depth videos you have been doing recently. Keep it up.
Having never watched a Thug Notes video before, I am super impressed. It's hard to combine thoughtful analysis with side-splitting humor. Respect.
It's really irritating to me that this is more accurate and respectful than the Walden adaptation.
Susan and Caspian romance is something my brain tries really hard to forget.
How, in the modern world, are books banned? That's just anti-knowledge and anti-freedom
+Racist Bassist because people become butthurt by religion.
school is 40% propaganda. i hav a friend whos trying to be a teacher. says she cant teach the whole truth of history because its going off the curiculum and can be fired for it. its only once you get to college that they dont care anymore
+The Abortion Sad but all too true. There has yet to be a propaganda-free teaching of the American Revolution.
because some things arent ok for kids. if most of the parents dont like the book, then i gets banned. so it is freedom.
Hermaeus Mora IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm not a moron, you're just an ass. I'm not talking about Catcher in the Rye, I'm talking explicitly about The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. You're pretty fucking ignorant to the fact that the US has gone anti Christian, don't fucking throw your fake ass books on me telling me that ain't how it is. Cuz it fucking is and you fucking whiners just act like you're being assaulted by Christians when Christians haven't been a legit threat in like 200 years. TLTWATW is a book about religion at its very core. C.S Lewis WROTE the book FOR people to come to Christ. I couldn't even bring up Christianity and how good religion is in history or english class, let alone physical science class without being threatened for detention before. get the fuck outta here kid. I literally just fucking graduated last year. I know what the highschools are like now. Christian teachers are even afraid to tell students who and what they are when students ask them cuz they dont wanna get fire let alone get sued in some fucking ridiculous way. and Catcher in the Rye WAS indeed religious, idiot. It even fricking had religious themes in it, it was one of the main fricking themes IN it.
It's funny that a novel with Christian themes is being lashed at by some Christians for including magic in it
Right?! Like the heck is wrong with you? Don't you like an allegory? Wait, you didn't like Harry Potter either? Damn they don't like Christian allegory at all...
Vilmundur Gunnarsson makes perfect sense. religious zealots are dumb as shit.
Vilmundur Gunnarsson I love this book. And I am an atheist.
I know, how can you hate Lion Jesus! Lion Jesus is the flip!
Wanna hear something else funny? It wasn't the Christians enforcing the ban. THAT was the American United for the Separation of Church and State. www.chron.com/opinion/outlook/article/Lion-witch-and-censor-Unfortunately-for-all-yes-1939898.php
But thanks for letting us know how you feel and attracting this... interesting array of comments.
Well done, suckas. You played yo'selves.
"He's back, he's back!" That's how I felt when I saw this video pop up in my queue :)
"If you ain't figured it out yet, Edmund's a dick." lol
NARNIAAAAAAA! I could laugh at that all day long... especially with the camera "shake"!
I just discovered you after the latest youtubers react video, and I must say this is BRILLIANT!!!!!!! I'm legit binge watching all your videos right now. It's my childhood I couldn't talk about without getting teased lol. I actually have a request too. Ann Rand's Anthem, and The Last Battle from the Narnia Series by C. S. Lewis
Welcome! We're working on The Fountainhead now. Thanks for subscribing
No problem! Looking forward to it. Wishing you continued success.
+Wisecrack where was ThugNotes 7 years ago when we had to read The Fountainhead in high school? That book report would've slayed with your help!
+Lori Funorie Yuck, they're having people read Ayn Rand in high school now?
+Phillip Savage And Catcher in the Rye, at the same time! The contrast is strong with these two.
The way santa gives kid weapons
How do you decide which books to review? Just curious.
Love your videos. You have a way of breaking down complicated novels.
do the magician's nephew please its rarely talked about when this series is mentioned
Awesome episode! Back on form Wisecrack. Just please please please please please be consistent. Every Tuesday and Saturday I get so excited and am often let down with no video. I love all of your videos and am never disappointed. Plus I understand each episode must take time to make but you leavin' a brother hangin'!! Love what you guys do. Don't ever stop! Peace.
Please do:
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
I was first introduced to this channel by a coworker. Loved it. Kids in the 8th grade English class loved it too, as a way to better understand "To Kill A Mockingbird." I have even learned a lot about books that I suffered through in middle and high school, but now want to understand something deeper through a unique, well thought perspective. This episode depicts a book I fell in love with, way back in elementary school- a catholic one- and never thought more than captivating. This episode connected a piece of my childhood with the reality I lived. Please, more more more more more more more. This is modern, concise, entertaining, educational, collected, and masterful. This is where education should have caught up to. Thank you. -john
do the book thief by mark zusak
Hannah Louie Oh, that's a great one.
yes please
Another splendid video, Sparky! How might I convince you now to review "A Canticle for Liebowitz"?
After finishing the Lord of the Rings, you should do Watership Down by Richard Adams.
seconding that second
Have to admit. This is so properly done and respectful towards the author and the message. Much appreciated
AHH YEA ASLAN...... HE BACK!
Now that you've done this video, how about it's counterpart "The Golden Compass"?
+Comrade Waifu I remember listening to that on audio book while on a road trip when I was a kid. The unabridged version was on 12 audio cassettes and had a full cast, while the abridged version didn't and was on 2 cassettes.
I was surprised when someone told me that that trilogy was about atheism and killing God, because I never saw any of that. Maybe it was mostly in the third book? I never did get around to reading that one, just the first two.
+Sentinalh It's been ages since I've read that trilogy and would really like to see it here. As a kid, the first book made very little sense to me until I had read the second book, and it was revealed that our world existed alongside all these others. It never felt like it was written for kids IMO.
But anyways, it's not so much atheist as it is anti-religion by the end. The last book has a lot of references to Adam and Eve and the truth of the demons and sin. Plus God is portrayed as pretty pathetic.
+Comrade Waifu YES! My all-time favorite fantasy series!
+Sentinalh For some it is blatant from the get go, I know for me it was page 246 of the third book where this random anti-religious ranting bursts forth like something from an alien movie.
+Roxanne Ferreira I got the feeling he was talking about the catholic church from the very beginning in the first book, with mrs. Coulter and her pure cult that severed children from their daemons -it seemed so very analogous to the fear and hate of children's eventual sexuality to me -but it does come in full-force in the third book, what with the actual God making a pathetic entrance.
Also, I second the notion of a "Dark Materials" analysis, maybe specifically book-by-book even
Jesus died for everyone in the hood XD
We are all his homies in the hood.
As someone with a deep love for the Narnia stories, your summary and commentary were excellent. Smiled and laughed the entire time, never hearing it described that way. With such flair and enthusiasm in telling the story, logically...
Wisecrack is a Knight of Narnia.
Banned in schools? But.my 5th grade teacher read it to me. Well I am 23 years old now but that book has stuck with me for ever
ricardo mendoza same here but I'm 20
I love this channel for making their analyses from the author's, without bias or spin. Respect for your respect, homey.
"GUESS WHERE WE'VE BEEN BITCHESSS....NARNIAAA!!!" kills me every time lol
Beautiful analysis Mr. Sparky Sparks. Gave me an even deeper appreciation of this book and C.S. Lewis's brilliance.
"If you haven't figured it out yet; Edmund's a dick."
Lol, greatest character analysis ever.
"Awwww yeah Aslan!! ..... He back" God damnit sparky
Here's a challenge for ya. Neuromancer By William Gibson. The dude created the cyberpunk genre.
Thug Notes is probably one of my favorite UA-cam series.
THAT's pretty much my definition of Hell on earth: always winter but NEVER Christmas. Christmas is the BEST thing about winter!
oh my God, Sparky this is wonderful. You're great with these!
_Bitch, I'm Aslan_ - Aslan
Love this to bits! If anything I beg you guys to do Tess D'ubervilles
The Little Prince?! Please????
This is my favorite book and watching this was a rollercoaster of emotions
Yeah Sparky Sweets! My favorite literary analyst.
how did I not know about this channel until now. It's literary gold
Handmaid's Tale
By:
Margaret Atwood
We did it: ua-cam.com/video/01VOISj8Fq0/v-deo.html
+Wisecrack Could you guys do Into Time By Heidegger, Satre's the Flies, or The Hero of Our time by Lermontov?
Welcome back love watching your videos
9:10 While it is true that Jesus died for everyone, it's also true that he died for us all individually. So it's possible Lewis was trying to make that point. That's one of the reasons we say Jesus is our personal savoir.
"Guess where we've ben b!tches, NARNIA!!!!!!" One of the best quotes eva
Please do Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie!
"Guess where we been bitches? NARNIAAAA!"
I died
I like how it says 12 view but 188 likes. Nope, youtube isn't broken at all. ;P

I needed to make an essay about The Chronicles of Narnia and I finally found the place to write some shit down!!!! Thank you so much Wisecrack!!!! You just earned yourself a new subscriber :)
I forgot how much I love this story
3:26 need that sound bite for whenever I enter a room
Queen with powers to make it continuously winter... Is Narnia really Arendelle? Is the White Witch really Elsa? What happened to Anna? Are The Chronicles of Narnia the equivalent of the original episodes of Star Wars to the prequels of Frozen?
McMexicans ha lol
“Girl, is you rollin’??” 😂😂😂
Crying. These are all brilliant - wish I'd had the nerve to cite one during my English Lit degree.
this is amazing how u discribed this. I never would have saw it like this but now that I have heard it from u I can now fully understand and agree.
I love this video. You really managed to make the summary both enjoyable and hilarious. Also, I would pay good money to hear Liam Neeson say the exact same lines that your Aslan did in this video. Can you imagine Liam Neeson as a CGI lion saying: Psh, bitch! I'm fucking Aslan. I do what I damn well, please."
I gotta say this series is solid frickin gold!!!!!! You gotta do The Little Prince!!
I found the Witch's face! It is from this painting: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Circe_Offering_the_Cup_to_Odysseus.jpg
why this is one of my favorite books. Lewis keeps it simple yet put a good lesson in it. why people hate this book so much I'll never understand.
Lucy's faces are hilarious...
Sooo now I've to binge watch all of your videos... You guys are awesome
I love how the magician's nephew was first, but they made this first. EVEN THE MOVIES ARE ONLY CENTERED AROUND THE PEVENSIES! FOR FUCKS SAKE
This was published first. Magician's Nephew was published 6th. It is meant to be read as a flashback.
Enjoyable analysis of CS Lewis "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Can you do silence of the lambs?!
Nice addition of the painting of the Dawn Treader, or at least a painting of a ship at sea on the wall by the wardrobe
Do "The Pearl" By John Steinbeck!
This guy's good. This is about the fourth or fifth video I've seen of his. All of books I've read and can vouch for.
Do The Martian! Do The Martian! Such a great book.
That was almost heartwarming. Good job!
6:53 I was shocked when I discovered that this, my favorite book from my childhood, was about Christ. So don't let C.S. Lewis's religious subtext put you off too much. I honestly thought that Aslan was just a lion. Of course, when I reread it as an adult, it was obvious, and the book didn't seem as wonderful and magical.
that exact same thing happened to my mum, and its totally spoiled it for her which is really sad :(
+2b Sirius "So don't let C.S. Lewis's religious subtext put you off too much." THIS. ALL OF THIS. (Also, don't let his social commentary put you off. Got a problem with vegetarians and co-ed schools, Clives Staples? No one cares, just get to the fantasy land of religious subtext. XD )
+2b Sirius I'm sorry to hear that. This makes me love the books even more!
Mark Widmeyer Yes, I know many Christians will share your view. I was speaking about by experience.
+2b Sirius I personally never liked The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and all of its sequels because of that very reason (The Aslan is Jesus thing really starts to grate after The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). As a kid, I always loved The Magician's Nephew because it spurred some of my most beautiful day dreams. A lot of people don't realize that that book even exists, but it's one of my all time favorites.
Thank for helping me with my Homework, Appreciate it 🤙
Please do Atlas Shrugged!
Love this one. Just discovered you and already hooked
"Edmund's a dick" could literally have been the entire summary.
Could you do all the other books!? This is amazing
