Bowing is the best. It's already common in parts of the world, it has few religious connotations, it's completely contactless and it requires little to no eye contact (which helps in areas of the world where such is seen as disrespectful and helps those who don't feel comfortable giving eye contact).
@@iammrbeat Considering what it meant to royalty, couldn't that be a positive? Rather than "I serve you, my liege" it could be "I'm at your service" with a response of "And I am at yours." It might show a willingness to help others, replacing the handshake's feature of showing a lack of will to stab someone.
"shaking hands went extinct in 2020 after a virus took over the world and many people chose to do other greetings. As a result, the fist bump took over the world and replaced the once respectable handshake." - some historian.
Hey there Mr. Beat how bout An elbow bump..Although waving “hello” (opening the hand with your palm facing out) is one of the most common gestures in American culture, it is very offensive in Greece. In the Middle East, avoid shaking anyone's hand of the opposite sex or giving the “thumbs up” sign to anyone you come across
Mr Beat's your channel has exploded.. congrats on getting there to the 200000 followers.. hmmm followers sounds funny..subs sounds better..you and Mrs Beat have an awesome day..make sure to shake her hand for me.. LOL
She's the one person I can still shake hands with, other than my daughters. :) And yeah, the channel has grown a bit since the algorithm randomly favored some of my Presidential election videos. I appreciate you sticking around and your support! :D
@@iammrbeat Mr Beat's..always support a valued channel. I might be old however love to learn..most channels I subscribe to are channels with some educational content..again you guys have an awesome day
its more than just to show you have no weapon. a true greeting with handshake includes the pat on the back. the handshake shows "hey i put my weapon away to show we arent about to fight". but the pat on the back shows, "hey i kept my shield ready and ive got your back covered with it"
chileeeee, they can get my whole elbow in a sweater. mr. beat i standddd for your videos as a canadian i draw from your content to understand my american cousins - TY
Why do we even use handshakes? Fist bumps, elbow bumps are so much better and so much more hygienic. And for people whose palms sweat a lot, handshakes are a nightmare. We avoid functions or gatherings just because of the prospect of shaking hands with other smh... Fuck handshakes
Shaking Hands? I haven't heard that in awhile. What a crazy idea! And don't get me started about the insane idea of going out in public without my homemade mask
Put your hand in the hand of the man Who stilled the water Put your hand in the hand of the man Who calmed the sea Take a look at yourself And you can look at others differently Put your hand in the hand of the man From Galilee
@@iammrbeat It's hard to think of an analogous situation to know with any certainty. Obviously a major factor will be the length of the pandemic. If there is never a vaccine and herd immunity is held off with distancing then a moderate risk could continue for many years. If we return to normal within a year or two (I think sooner with something unessential like handshakes is unlikely) then yes, we could just go back. I think it will come down to whether something replaces the function. I would argue that it's not the act that is ingrained but its function and it won't take long for the reflex to be lost. I can see nodding, holding up a hand, etc replacing it. Time will tell.
@@iammrbeat Good to know. It's too bad they are only using the legacy left/right axis. This reminds me of a nice video you did on the other political spectrums. 😄🤙
One more thing Mr Beat's sir, I'm curious what media platform you using to teach your students? Do you do your classes live or use some other way. My brother used to use chalkboard I think when he was a professor. curious in California.
Before you time, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner had some records (?) where they interviewed an imaginary 2,000 year old man. Among the many questions asked was , Where does shaking hands come from and Brooks goes into a whole spiel about disarming your opponent. "He could have a small stone in there and stick it in your eye" But what about dancing? Oh that is the complete immobilization....both hands and you keep his feet busy so he can't kick you.
Instead of shaking hands from now on we can just look into each others eyes intensely and try to see the other person’s soul. Yeah, like that’s ever going to happen
Just found this channel and I love it. Could you do a comparison video of Michigan and Ohio? I dont think many people know about our rivalry but we even (kinda) fought a battle over territory!
In my country it is common for people to greet each other by kissing on the cheeks 3 times, very similar like Borat does in his movie. When we greet, the two persons start their kiss on the left cheek, then on the right cheek and finish on the left cheek.
I used to joke in high school with my friend that she was "bumping elbows" with other guys that weren't her boyfriend. Me and my friends would do that a lot. I've been bumping elbows for years. It's my preferred method of greeting when my hands are full, or when I'm eating. I would like to propose a more formal method of the elbow bump though. Put your fist to your chest, touch elbows, and pat/grab the other person's shoulder with your free hand. Eh, that will never catch on, who am I kidding
But if people have been shaking hands in order to convince each other in their own absence of weapons in the start of the meeting, so why do we shake our hands as a farewell?
I still don't understand. Why, now DO we shake hands? Greetings and salutations? Here's a more poignant question; not why do we shake, but why do we shake with our right hands, and is left hand shaking considered offensive? Where did that come from in pop culture social mores?
When I studied in China, I get a great deal of cultural shock when greeting girls, given in Brazil women nearly always greet by touching their cheeks. Most women thought I was being weirdly invasive.

Will the handshake go away permanently? If so, what should replace it?

A good old "👍" no contact and you can do it far away. 👍😎
@@CassidyCope The only issue I have with the bow is its association to royalty throughout history.
@@TerryTurner Might as well wave :)

Your comment reminded me of Monty Python lol
Dabbing at each other should become the new universal greeting/farewell/meeting.
I'll see myself out.
@@RemixedVoice why do corny suburban kids still bring up dabbing like it hasn't been dead for 5 years now?
Fist bumping makes no sense. "Hey, I know you. Lets punch each other in the hand at the same time". - first fist bumpers
No it didn’t
Months ago I finished binging the presidential election video and saw my history teacher watching your videos which is so cool
That is amazing. You must have a cool history teacher. heee heee :D
The better title would be "Why Did We Shake Hands?"
LMAO
Like I said in the video, I predict it will be back.
@@iammrbeat I believe so as well, its a bit absurd to think otherwise, but as to the current times :|
@@Aetherius21 not if we introduce the french"roman salute" that the german have stolen.
@@alexandrub8786 That'd be preferable. Imagine how cool people saluting each other like that on the street would be.
Perfect timing to make a video like this Mr. Beat
And what's crazy is that I planned on releasing it this spring anyway, before things got crazy.
I have started bumping elbows with people. After a few times it becomes surprisingly natural
So it begins then.
*Elbow bump*
@@iammrbeat love your work brother 😎
Great video Mr Beat shaking hands is probably here to stay.
Mr BEAT!
Mr. ABEDIN!
Oh! Like with other people. I getcha
People? Who is that?

Indeed, I'm glad you brought that up. I do like the elbow bump.
Mr Beat, can you please make a video titled 'Malaysia and Indonesia Compared'. Thank you very much.
It's on my list. :D
the real answer: so that we can spread disease! mwahaha
New sub. I normally don't like channels that jump around but your work is awesome. Can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thanks for your work.
Something about a good firm hand shake is so nice tho
Yeah, it is such a warm gesture.

Random question Mr. Beat if you could pick any president to handle this crisis, who would you pick?
George Washington
Some say that the Beat bros. are still shaking each other's hands to this day...
What brave souls to do this novel act during quarantine
Sadly....I haven't even seen him since then. 😥
@@iammrbeat And so the legend carries on in all our hearts...
Simple way to put it: Natural intstinct when meeting people
You were ahead of your time
Apparently so :)
Thumbs up for the way you pronounced Fauci, from an Italian 😁
lol thanks, I am not known for pronouncing names correctly
its more than just to show you have no weapon. a true greeting with handshake includes the pat on the back. the handshake shows "hey i put my weapon away to show we arent about to fight". but the pat on the back shows, "hey i kept my shield ready and ive got your back covered with it"
We should replace the handshake with a wink and a nod
I could dig that.
I do the first pump instead of the handshake
I love the 👊
Mr Beat strait breaking the law
chileeeee, they can get my whole elbow in a sweater. mr. beat i standddd for your videos as a canadian i draw from your content to understand my american cousins - TY

I Loved the Trump/Abe clip!!!
Put your hand in the hand of the man

The elbow bump is huge in the food industry since if you shake hands you have to wash your hands again
I'm so happy you used the clip from Jojo Rabbit. Also, will newsvoice let me add the Corbett Report to my news feed. If not then no thank you ;)
Yep, of course you can. But folks will mark it as "Right" leaning.

Please do a video on the history of anarchism
We shall see
Please do a comparison video between Argentina and Mexico!
Fend for yourself! Shun the handshake!
Ain't nobody be shaking hands these days for sure.
SOCIAL DISTANCE
Ooops
I don't shake hands. Hugs sometimes.
i luv doing those cool af custom handshakes wit all my homies. always shows dat u mean well xD
Hey, Mr. Beat. How about you cover the Great Recession from 2008?
That's a great suggestion!
In my country, it's a handshake AND a hug, or at least a mutual pat in the back. Well, it was, anyway. Now it's just an awkward stare.
One more thing Mr Beat's sir, I'm curious what media platform you using to teach your students? Do you do your classes live or use some other way. My brother used to use chalkboard I think when he was a professor. curious in California.
I use Google Classroom and Google Meet for my students in real life. :)

Rob Reiner? Was this a movie? Dang, I have to watch it. It sounds amazing.
More like: Why we used to shake hands?
Pretty much, but I think there will be a sequel. :)
*Why did we shake hands
Pretty much. But I predict it will be back.
Hip checks.
That might get really awkward with some people. I like it.
Wonder if this tradition will continue after COVID-19?
I think it will. It's too engrained in cultures around the world.
The blood pact. Both person slit their hand and shook on blood. Blood is thicker than water.
In honor of Leonard Nimoy we should do the Vulcan Salute.
Shaling hands will always be what I do.
Mr. Beat? More like Mr. BULK!!! Man's got some GUNS hidden in those sleeves.
Instead of shaking hands from now on we can just look into each others eyes intensely and try to see the other person’s soul.
Yeah, like that’s ever going to happen
Hey could you do a compared video on Montana and Idaho or even Montana and Wyoming
I have resorted the the Vulcan salute of Live long & prosper V
I like that one and have used it myself.
We replace handshakes with jumpfrog
Nice
That is interesting
Just found this channel and I love it. Could you do a comparison video of Michigan and Ohio? I dont think many people know about our rivalry but we even (kinda) fought a battle over territory!
I already did!
@@iammrbeat I didnt see it on your channel page but I'll go find it 😁 thank you!
Shaking hands will be replaced with the more formal bow
I'd be totally down with getting rid of handshakes altogether forever. First bumps all the way!
Fist bumps can still spread disease. YMCA dance all the way.
I don’t know about everyone else but I kind of like the handshake, it establishes physical human contact with someone you first meet.
You should do the history of The Go-Go's on your other channel. "We got the beat, we got the beat, yeah , we got the beat."
lol I actually did plan on that eventually
We should keep the handshake and use it sparingly:)
Because why not
Because
bring back the Federalist Bow

It was before
Germs because a Big thing
Fauci tried to end the handshake 🤝 but failed miserably
Off topic, but in my opinion, your voice sounds like Michael Scott from the American TV show, the Office.
Mr. Beat kisses his wife. What if his former principal watches this and punishes him accordingly.
Handshakes need to go away forever like why where have their hands been idk

Very possible we may not ever again, even after coronavirus is under control.
It's certainly possible, but I doubt it. It's too engrained.

That seriously would be crazy, considering it was something only "cool" and "hip" folks did not that long ago.
