okay, so this movie is pretty crap, and Biggering would have been a better song, I can't deny that How Bad Can I Be has some pretty clever lyrics, much more than the rest of the song's films.
@Titancameraman5614 there's a song called Biggering that was originally going to be in this song's place, and having heard it, it would have suited the scene and the message better. However, I give How Bad Can I Be props bc it's lyrics, like "a portion of proceeds goes to charity", "and the lawyers are denying" etc are quite clever, considerably more so than the rest of the film's shallow and uninspired messaging.
I was done listening to Biggering and saw this and I thought "Yeah, lets see how they really compare." and listening to this is like going from Mozart to Nickelback.
Finally, someone else who feels this way! It's goes from "I'm not bad at all!" to "how much can I get away with?" They played with the dual meanings of the phrase so well
Yee we Americans are known for best things even TANKS (and you can legally own a tank) weapons military bugers hotdogs money and even yes *G U N S* but also here in America there are always gotta be a dark side to the usa
It would tell me i was about to endure an entire semester of totally one sided propaganda history from a fanatic, which also always means the teacher will be some sort of crazy asshole and there will be consequences for breathing and rewards for closing your mind and kissing ass
Same here. I used to hate U.S. History because not only did I find it boring due to bad teachers but because because I felt that I was being deprived of the truth in middle school as the class’s often taught propaganda stories like Christopher Columbus being a hero, how Hernan Cortez was sympathetic figure for weeding out the Aztecs, George Washington could never tell a lie, and how Steve F. Austin was justified for conquering Mexican territory. The only reason I knew this was wrong was because of my dad who was educated. So I developed some passive aggressive contempt for it and mostly dismissed the subject as I didn’t think I’d ever learn the full context until I made it College. It was there where I got a much broader understanding of U.S. History and a new appreciation for the subject matter. Honestly, this video pretty much affirms, most of what I learned and it’s wild. 😂 lol I just wish school system in my state (Texas) told me the truth of what really went down much earlier.
This video barely references the independence war 1812 the Civil war the world wars Vietnam Korea Iraq Afghanistan 9/11 or the Cold War which is what could have made this video better
This video is primarily focused on the wrongdoings of the United States ( not that I’m anti-American, I’m literally from here) so things like 9/11 and the Civil War would not really fit. I would change the end part to have more modern countries and invasions like Iraq, Syria Afghanistan or Vietnam though.
I love the attention to detail all players in certain events. With Andrew Jackson sweeping away native Indians with homestead. The republic of Texas flag getting some recognition as a country. Its beautiful!
"native Indians" is a really weird way to say Native Americans. You forgot to give the word "native" the importance of its capital letter and straight up got the wrong country too. Yikes you sound like Chrissy Columbo

Well as Ukrainian I can say that Kievan Rus did wery few genocides of the natives, I can only remember Olga who burned down drevlan's town for not paying taxes
Fun fact there was a demo song called "biggering" in it he say "who cares if somethings are dying?" Instead of "Who cares if a few trees are dying?" It was meant to talk about how not only trees were dying but other things like the animals or plants like flowers. It was trying to show how bad big companies like that not only hurt the trees but everything around it. The song never made it on screen because "it was too violent for kids" but people are sure the real reason was the fact that the people who made the movie are a company and could've lost business.

Technically yes but not in the same way as other groups and countries.

This video is pretty accurate other than the part at 1:35 where they list military bases as a list of bad things which military bases aren't as every nation needs a strong military for defense. As for everything else its historically accurate. I kind of want to see stuff like this for other nations as every single nation has done something absolutely terrible in it's history.
I was expecting things like - america giving weapons to the taliban to counter isis - supporting isrel despite war crimes worse than Russia - Nato dumping weapons in north Africa (the weapons ended up in terrorists' hands) - usa not providing enough military support to make Vietnam democratic while doing dumb stuff like spraying chemicals on forests to kill them (which still heavily pollute large areas of land today) and allying inhumane Cambodia to use their land as a military base in the war etc. etc. But that clip from the Lorax describes America a lot, not just the government but also companies & influencial figures
America donates over 640 million dollars to countries all over the world, let's in more immigrants more than any other countries around the world and stop one of the most evil men in world history who killed over 6 million jews at this point America's good majorly outweighs its bad.
Y'all don't even realize how much of a triple entendre this is. You got climate change, you have capitalism and you have just the sincere lack of care anything that they do to other people. It's a real nightmare. I never thought this song would actually scare me more than it did just now
I feel like while all of these negative things about the U.S. are true, there is also a lot of positive that people overlook! People just want to hate on stuff, and it drives me crazy. If you make a video about all of the USA’s negatives, then make one about their positives!
Have you seen the country? Yes there a good things. But America is very hypocritical and annoying thinking the world revolves around them. Like on racial views politics etc. Criticizing other countries but they do the same things or worse.

etc. etc. But that clip from the Lorax describes America a lot, not just the government but also companies & influencial figures
This video teaches U.S. history better than how school teaches it.
How bad can I be is weirdly fitting for America knowing all of the bad things America did
America donates over 640 million dollars to countries all over the world, let's in more immigrants more than any other countries around the world and stop one of the most evil men in world history who killed over 6 million jews at this point America's good majorly outweighs its bad.
**World War 1, World War 2, The Cold War, The American Revolution And The Bombing Of Hiroshima Have Left The Game**
You can't fit a comprehensive list in a 3 minute song. The people bitching about Hiroshima don't even know about Tokyo. Japan got off incredibly easy.
GAHAG this looks like something that my i&s teacher would play at the start of class 😭 😭
As an American yeah this is basically the history in a nutshell, they a bit crazy
The whole movie/book of the Lorax is a protest to show what would happen if we continue deforestation and burning fossil fuels.
Pls do Japan, Britain, Mongolia, China & Ancient Rome
This makes me so mad… I hate climate change, global warming, and pollution, we need to do something about this!!! 😢
Probably the most real video I’ve ever watched
_"HOW ACCURATE CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE?!"_
Nah bro just gave my the answers to my history essay
Y'all don't even realize how much of a triple entendre this is. You got climate change, you have capitalism and you have just the sincere lack of care anything that they do to other people. It's a real nightmare. I never thought this song would actually scare me more than it did just now
Saw the title and my mind went to Manifest Destiny and the eradication of Buffalos in the name of FREEDOM.
wait til we get the European versions
I might make that ngl
America might have done some bad stuff but it’s pretty hard to top Britain lol
@@plugshirt1762 hard to top any Western European country ngl
@@cgyoboior imperial Japan and present day china
@@Connor-me fair. I'd argue "ancient" China is worse because of how many genocides they committed. like god damn
How I wish they would teach us U.S. history:
The Andrew Jackson had me rolling
It was just so random.
As Georgian, VERY accurate
Aside from japan being there at the very end, I cant help but be offended by how accurate this is.
I feel like while all of these negative things about the U.S. are true, there is also a lot of positive that people overlook! People just want to hate on stuff, and it drives me crazy. If you make a video about all of the USA’s negatives, then make one about their positives!
Have you seen the country? Yes there a good things. But America is very hypocritical and annoying thinking the world revolves around them. Like on racial views politics etc. Criticizing other countries but they do the same things or worse.
@@caylya7869 I suppose you’re right, but as a person who has family in America I suppose I just want to see it get some positive recognition for a change
@@caylya7869can you give me an example?
“I feel like while all of these negative things about Nazi Germany are true, there is also a lot of positive that people overlook! If you make a video about Nazi Germany’s negatives, make one about the positives as well!”
@@chewchewtrain the USA is definitely not Nazi Germany
The teachers need to play this in history!🤣
I don't think I was THAT bad. 😁
You where THAT bad.
Holy shit it's us and russia
America can I tell u something most of the Asian counties stop slavery THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO and u America stoped slavery in the 1900
people don't forget.
@@islandofjapan38000 My brother in Christ you have commited every war crime known to man during that time inWW2 don't act YOU are the victim
Soon, we'll end up like the destroyed trees ourselves.
I love this song becouse it fits every single todays superpower like USA, Russia and China
2:27 this guy looks like someone💀
ABRAHAM LINCOLN AHHH
Fr
You and I have thought of the same cross over connections, 1 year later, the UA-cam algorithm failed us miserably along with mainstream media..
2:18 yep basically built the modern world as we know it
Damn bro I wonder where they got all the land and wealth and labor to build all that stuff.
1:26 did the philippines got helped by the usa?
Yes
Then get invaded by them
@@no_maidens4youthen the Japanese came by and did much more damage in just 3 years
I want you to imagine four teenagers downtown outside a venue standing in line for their senior prom in tuxedos and dresses in a circle watching this video on a phone, volume turned up all the way so not only they but also the people around them can hear it
That’s one of my core memories from highschool
2:12 Break it down now❤❤❤😎😎😎
Bro is talking like America is the only one who does all that 💀
Usanians everytime they are factually told of the countless atrocities they have commited and keep commiting to this day: "B-But, the other countrieees 😭"
As an American, I can say that this video is more accurate and true to life than everything I was told in history class.
Okay this is accurate as all hell (as an american ofc)
