Hi ryan
How do you comment before the video is up
Do u watch skibidi toilet
Did you swap the presidents with your face in the backgrounD?
Joe Biden DOES have jesters and fools.
Each Press secretary and the cross
dressing general and that nuclear waste
dress stealer of woman's luggage at airports.
"I said NOT the secretary of defense" had me rolling
its true lmaoo
Secretary of defense rn wouldn’t even be in the office, he steps out for unannounced surgeries and doesn’t leave anyone else in charge 😂 not like we have 2 wars we fund rn
That clown?
"I didn't ASK to be Secretary of Balloon Doggies, the balloon doggies DEMANDED it!"
But when was Matthew Miller promoted to Secretary of Defence? 😂
That man has a very commanding moustache. I bet he’s in charge.
Moustaches beat beards in this world it seems
...and extremely commanding beard, too! 👳♂️
boyoyoyoyo
@@Etienne.6329 We have a saying in our language that goes "Moch nai te kuch nai", that roughly means if you don't have a mustache you have nothing, culturally here always land lords had big twisty mustaches so its a big deal to have a commanding mustache
Is it perhap the most chiefly commending moustache?
1:15 or so:
“Mister President, I have an update from the Pentagon.”
“What is it?”
I was waiting for a line like, “it’s a five sided building, but that’s not important now .”
Yes
That would've been amazing 😂
😂 Nice "Airplane!" reference
I only accept information from hexagons or higher!
You got a little Leslie Nielsen in my Ryan George. 🤔
Fun fact:
Depending on the time and place, the Court Jesters would actually perform an important role in advising their liege. Since they had the official permission to cross boundaries they would be able to offer advice without paying attention to many social norms. They also had a much easier time interacting with regular subjects in places that a lot of nobility could not enter as freely so they were able to keep an ear on popular opinion.
There's a bunch of other reasons but yeah - Court Jesters often had a far bigger role than just providing entertainment.
Following up, they also had a sort of diplomatic immunity so they could make fun of the ruling class as a sort of "this is how my people see me" or to point out absurd actions to keep the rulers grounded. If the clown suggests war, probably don't do it. If the clown calls you the backside of a horse, maybe you're taking the tax policy too far.
Yeah, I was kind of hoping that was where this skit was going to go actually...
@@FortheSakeoftheComments Same.
It was also a war crime to harm or kill the Court Jester while he was on the battlefield delivering a message to the General of the opposing army so that is how we got the saying "don't shoot the messenger".
Kinda like how the cup bearer was the most trusted adviser by basically announcing "I trust this person so much I let them handle my food"
The secretary of defence being a literal clown and Blimp-Bo looking exactly like your average politician is a smart touch.
Such a clever subversion of my expectations!!😂
It's the contrast of expectation vs. reality. That's why Rowan Atkinsson can dress up as a priest and read a moderately entertaining story and make everyone laugh. The contrast amplifies the jokes to epic levels.
It's Blimpo its literally written on the newspaper stop overcomplicating names
And is uncomfortably closer to reality than we would all like to admit.
@@_sayandas The three Flimpos on the newspaper caught my attention more.
The secretary of defense joke absolutely murdered me 😂
Good to see Rachel Levine made it to secretary of defense.
Woah, plot twist!
And Blimpo might have just murdered you too.
the joke murdered you? well then we absolutely must put it in a room, I've decided
@@maxnorton1209 He's a well meaning guy, he doesn't do murder
That clown fake-out was legitimately hilarious.
3:22 WORLD WAR III DECLARED. "It was done in a really entertaining way, though, so the general vibe is positive. There were lots of fart noises and silly sound effects going on, as well as whimsical japes. Should be a good time! In his statement, Blimpo was hilarious."
Lol, thanks for writing it out.
"no we do other stuff together sir, bedroom stuff"
Oh nice, they're jumping on the bed together
And having, erm, "pillow" fights. And they are indeed lovely pillows...
@@denniseldridge2936you called?
well we do make the bed rock sir.
practicing the horizontal team jump
They do knock knock jokes, Blimpo jokingly knocks her up
The fact Ryan got all dressed up for a 2 second bit has me dyin 😭😂
A truly committed comedian
He’s really committed to thumbnail misdirection.
Yeah the unreliable thumbnail narrator was meta
A truly committed secretary of defense
A 2-second bit AND the thumbnail. 🤔
I love the Ryan George Washington and Abryanham Lingeorge paintings in the background
George ryangton
I love how a circus clown is the minister of defence 😂
Ryan must not like Lloyd Austin.
@@Sewblon who?
@@oliversherman2414 The secretary of defense of The United States of America.
@@Sewblon Ok. I'm not American so idk
@@Sewblon I really have no idea about who the people in the administration are, do I?
This is one of those sketches where you have to wonder what came first. The idea, or the fake moustaches and beards
or the recent developments from Middle East
probably the mustaches.
its way easier to find a fake mustache than a fake beard
Fake?
Ryan definitely has an entire closet of fake mustaches. I'm convinced the entire thing was the result of Ryan almost throwing out the clown wig from the back of the closet, and then hesitating, and then having the idea for this sketch.
@@JoeyGBean it's mustaches all the way down
The explosion between the sketch and the ad suddenly takes on a much darker tone.
You beat me to writing this comment XD
It's nice to see Ryan take a break from parody to show us how things are really done in Washington.
Ottawa, much
I loved "look at the funny face he is pulling" and it was just Ryan looking deadly serious
He never looked so serious in any skit before!
The primary purpose of a jester was to provide the legitimate feedback and criticism others would be to afraid to say. Disguised as humor.
Jesters were arguably the most important advisors to the king.
So then...Blimpo.
Comedians have always been very intelligent.
That would have been a way better path to take this premise, imho.
@@andrewj1754it’s on the record, you just admitted Dane Cook is the Socrates of our time
Just because they're honest doesn't mean they're wise, lol
I was 99% sure that blimpo was gonna turn out to be a secret evil spy
He was but even him didn't know it.
I have serious opinions to say here but I’m not gonna say them because your profile picture fucking terrifies me
Flimbo was clearly the spy, blimbo was innocent
HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE BLIMPO LIKE THAT HE WOULD NEVER
Your profile picture OMG
1:47 Blimpo is knock-knocking her up.
Also, the ventriloquism was crazy! How'd he do it!? He was drinking that unnamed energy beverage!! 😱
It was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Unnamed energy beverages are tight
@@mavortius8768 haha, hell yeah!!
"Blimpo's got security clearance, it's fine" okay that got me.
That felt very nostalgic for me. It was like DJT was back in office.
It's Hunter... his next joke was bringing drugs into the white house.
@@sjtez - Weird... I remember Trump got us OUT of all the wars Obama had us locked into... and under Biden, we're rolling right back into wars all over the place. Heck, Biden is about to start WWIII, and meanwhile the media ran cover, distracting the tiny-brained masses with nonstop eclipse coverage.
@@Mr.Ekshin As opposed to the Trump administration where the White House was distributing the drugs.
@@Mr.Ekshingood job Biden doesn’t involve his kids in government like Trump
They do, we just call them celebrities now.
So unfortunately, Donald Trump had a stroke, died and found himself in hell.
The Devil says, "You rewrote the Bible? Wow! Okay, you're definitely supposed to be here!.. but, ehmm... it is a little unexpected, I'm afraid we've been double-booked."
Donald Trump asks: "I still get a suite though, right?"
And the Devil says: "Sure, one of the nice ones. We're just gonna have to evict some other tenant, and send them to Heaven, to fit you in."
The Devil leads Donald Trump to the Presidential floor, and says: "It would be one of these three. Tell you what, why don't you pick?"
Donald Trump opens the first door, and sees Barrack Obama, jumping off a diving board into an icy pool that fills the room. He gets back on the diving board, and repeats, over and over.
Donald Trump says: "Hmm, I'm not much of an exercise guy... Never liked Obama, that much either. No, this is not my thing, I'll try something else."
He opens the second door, and sees Joe Biden, stacking pennies all the way to the roof, to trigger the room service call. But the stack keeps toppling, and the coins fall upon his head.
Donald Trump says: "I feel like I had more money than this? I could make it more stable, and then... Oh?"
The Devil shakes his head. "That's not how this works. If you need the room service, you must complete the task."
Donald Trump: "Hm. Yeah, no, I have a bad shoulder. Golf accident. Actually, I'm fine if Sleepy Joe handles this one. Let's see what's behind the third door!"
He opens the third door into a lavishly decorated bedroom. On the bed, he sees Bill Clinton pounding his intern, Monica Lewinsky, like a possessed stallion.
Donald Trump excitedly blurts out: "Now THIS! You know, it seems strenuous and all, but I think... yeah, I reckon I could do this, actually! I want this suite, please!"
And the Devil says: "Okay, I've signed you up for eternity, then. Enjoy your stay!.... Monica? You're done, time to go."
And AOC and Kamala.
The real joke being tons of the public look to them
Rasputin 2.0
Isn't biden the court jester?
The defeated "okay" that Ryan George can do is absolute perfection
1:42 Blimpo is officially the GOAT
The best part is the newspaper: "WWW 3 has been declared. It was done in a very funny way though, so the overall vibe is positive." Absoutely hillarious.
And for once at least the world agrees on what to do.
Thank you! I didn't catch that because it was so fast and I didn't pause it.
3:22 I accidentally paused here at the same time as I read your comment lol
should be a good time
What does your third "W" in WWW 3 stand for?
HE PUT HIS FACE ON THE PRESIDENTS IN THE BACKGROUND.
The continuity of the RCU is unparalleled.
wow, i didn;t notice
I just noticed Ab-Ryan Lincoln behind Blimpo and now I'm scared.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Also Ryan George Washington
Ryan has better concern for continuity than 95% (official statistic 🙃) of Hollywood
This sketch was more historically accurate than I expected
I have been watching your videos for years now and I can confidently say that this is one of your best, most brilliantly written sketches ever.
I had a friend like this in highschool. He would insult people straight to their face 100% serious and people just laughed like he was telling a joke.
This sounds like a Cassandra curse but with insults instead of prophecies 😂
Bob: Tim, you're ugly, no one likes you and you'll probably die alone
Tim: ...... 🤣🤣🤣
Bob: 😑😑😑
Bob: Tim, you're ugly, no one will ever love you and you'll spend the rest of your life alone
Tim: ...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bob: 😑😑😑😑😑
"Send in the clown."
Perfect
2:26 wow. When he made that sound I thought my door was broken
The ‘boi-oi-oi-oing’ callback was TIGHT!
I don't know, I thought he was just doing a perfect impression of my hammer hitting a door hinge. This guy's a pro!
@@MusicalJackknifeThat's where I recognised that sound from!! I knew he'd done it in another sketch, but I couldn't think which one.
@@Bertaut wait, which sketch???
Oi oi oyooo needs a callback too
@@TotallyHuman "When you need a UA-cam video to fix something." The door hinges make the sound when he hits them with a hammer.
The joke with the secretary of defense left me stunned for about 10 seconds and cackling for another 30 😂😂😂
It's not even a joke. Look up a photo of Rachel Levine.
Uh… I did, but was disappointed, she doesn’t look like a clown at all… maybe i’m lacking good old ´murica hate exposure… Oh well.
Anyway, best joke of the sketch, loved it !
@@cloud5buster being Canadian, i doubt it was a diss at the actual US secretery of defense
@@cloud5buster haha, wow, I looked her up
@@chemlamanuel1497 He looks worse than a clown.
The president's laugh at 0:59 was so damn funny to me for some reason.
I was looking for this comment. The president's laugh noises are wonderful😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:44 "Toot once more" was the most will Ferrell -ish line imaginable.
👏🏽 And I celebrate that
0:29 what a stupid joke. I absolutely loved it 😂
He’s not telling her knock knock jokes, he’s telling her knocked up jokes.
he's not saying "knock knock" he's saying "nice knockers"
He knocked her right out of the park and into bed.
Everything you ever wanted to know about sex but were too afraid to ask: Chapter 1: Do aphrodisiacs work?
(Yes, and then the king walked in on the jester and the queen. /spoilers)
That jab at the SECDEF just vibe checked every Leslie Nelson movie.
The writing for this sketch is pure gold.
That "Clown" misdirect at the start was old-school genius.
"Send in the clowns!" "No, not the Secretary of Defense!"
The Secretary of Whimsical Japes is the most legendary title ive ever heard
It seems like Ryan has played more than few SS13 rounds.
Because this is quite accurate, but is missing the monkeys and the bees.
There really should be Official Jesters for every country! This is an awesome idea and one of the funniest sketches on this channel!
So glad the word "jape" is making a come-back.
It was in Harry Potter. A joke shop is called “Gambol and Japes”.
Sorry for nerding out. I do it a lot.
"you think I'm too old to make monkey shines at a picture show....I'm younger then the three of you put together" -Peirce Hawthorne
*NO!* the word sounds racist somehow. It scares me.
I love how it's like, 'no we spoke of this, stay out of politics' *swiftly and expertly adapts* now THAT's an expert!
Medieval jesters' big party trick was to leap in the air, whistle and fart at the same time. Probably harder than it sounds.
Blimpo is obviously a critique of (insert cabinet member of a president you don't like), I can't believe Ryan went there!
Adapting the time-honored art of caricature to video is tight
that clown twist was mind blowing
It was in 2016 as well
@@Dan55888 it wasn't so much a twist, was it ? It's true he was wearing make up...
The thing is, this is actually funny. How could you do this to me, Ryan.
The secretary of defense bit had me literally bust out laughing- and I very very very rarely do that
Court Jesters seem like they had absolute best jobs in medieval times. Roland the Farter, for instance, was given Hemingstone manor in Suffolk and 30 acres of land in return for his services as a jester for King Henry II. Each year he was obliged to perform a dance that consisted of "one jump and whistle and one fart" for the King's court at Christmas.
It's entirely possible that Roland the Farter was an outlier and that his experiences were not typical.
Also a huge reward for a barely existent job sounds more like poorly disguised nepotism than a legitimate jestering career.
"My cousin Roland wants a manor but has no marketable skills to justify granting him anything."
"Does he have any unmarketable skills?"
"Well he can fart on command"
"Put him down as a jester, we'll have him come around on Christmas to fart and we'll all pretend that's comedy."
@@TheGregamonster There’s no record of Roland’s ancestors so he probably wasn’t of noble blood since they record all their lineages. Probably just a very skilled flatulence artist.
Pretty sure jesters were killed all of the time for no reason whatsoever since they were in close proximity most of the time to someone who could order their death on a whim.
@@TheGregamonster good job writing that so it sounds like a Ryan George sketch, I dig it.
Hi there hello. It's me the commentstronaut from the thing you're currently watching. Comments for the algorithm are tight I decided
this isn’t a pitch
this isn’t a pitch
this is a bitc- i mean this isn’t a pitch
Thanks in my haste to boost Ryan's views I got ahead of myself but corrected it. Have a great day everyone and THANK YOU RYAN for all the laughs you provide this community! To make ammends for my foolish mistake I'm going to put myself in a room now.
That works!
Hilarious video with a slap of reality. Blimpo is a real character. Loved it till the end.
"Blimpo's got a security clearance."
"He should not have a security clearance."
I see Ryan follows US politics.
I love how the president is in denial that he is being cheated on lmao
Is it cheating when he knows about it and is glad that it's being taken care of by someone competent?
Saying "Do you know another blimbo?" with such authority got me laughing🤣🤣
HOLY SHIT that secretary of defense switch blindsided me. Absolute GOLD, Jerry.
That twist when the clown was sent in and it was Ryan George, woah!
Fun fact, jesters often served to curb the idiocy and insanity of the rulers they served. Being the funny people, they had unique privileges to make fun of the rulers, cause that was their whole job. So if the ruler was gonna do something completely fucking insane, jesters could just be like “I’m the bizarre clown man and I think what you’re doing is TIGHT” and then the ruler would be like “damn, he got a point, this idea stinks”
„I am my own jester I decided.“ - the next US president, probably
That already happened in 2016
You have a clown president currently. The biggest joke. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@Dan55888 💯
True. Regardless of who they are lol
@@Dan55888 Sure, wasn’t part of the intended joke though. I‘m afraid the demented orange fuck is going to win this round as well…
Loving the president's four-year old sense of humor 😂
this feels more like a documentary than a sketch
I love the amount of detail work put into even making the george washington painting and abraham lincoln painting to have your face even though it's blurred. Small jokes like that are why i keep watching. Lol.
Dammit
The secretary of defense joke was genius
"If 100 Million people die, that sounds like their problem, not ours." Had me rolling.
After this, we now definitely need the first guy to be a clown - that was funny 😂
The first 35 seconds absolutely stand on their own
1:21 hahahaha! Its so funny how Blimbo can perfectly immitate a squeeky door hinge hahahaaa!!!
The whole sketch is scarily accurate! Especially the secretary of defence being Pennywise!
One of your best sketch. The secretary joke was perfect.
The secret society of court jesters has all of us on strings
"Send in the clown"
"No not the secretary of defence"
Blimpo can’t stay out of politics, Blimpo is politics!
“Send in the Clown”
*clever reference*
"Interrupting Blimpo, Sir" is probably the best thing I've ever heard🤣
The court jesters' job is super easy, barely an inconvenience
Ooooooh! Referencing catchphrases from different UA-cam channels because this UA-camr is also in it, is *TIGHT!*
And Hollyweird, CA. is full of 'em! lol
@@fireaza 100%. People dont realize it.
@@pontoancorapeople don't realize. 100%.
Oh really?
From what I can tell, the role of a jester is not to actually start a massacre, but rather to point out that people might end up doing it if they keep doing what their doing.
Ryan must've hit either the Powerball or the Megamillions jackpot!! Look at those props! 😍
"Secretary of Defense" another home run right there 😂😂😂😂😂
I love the bait and switch starting with the thumbnail itself, genius!
I can instantly tell the authority of the President, the most important office in the land, by his *very* authoritative moustache. Bravo, Ryan.
If Presidents Had Court Jesters, we'd confuse the two a lot.
I like how accurate this is given the actual role of court jesters back in the day
I want more of Blimpo. Like as a character in all of the other scenes in the Ryanverse. He probably would get himself everywhere too.
Your humour is on another level dude!
This needs to become a recurring theme to help me deal with actual election year nonsense that I try to avoid paying attention to, but always find a way to ruin my TV commercials.
And with that skit, Ryan George is now on that list. What list? That list that shall not be named.
At least he is not on the island list.
Court jester was a highly coveted and highly influential role. A good jester could pick up on subtleties and convey important information to the king. They had the most influence of anyone short of the king. It's like if Jafar was more chill.
If that's true, then we really turned jesters into a joke nowadays.
An even more coveted role was the The Groom of the Stool, essentially the British king's ass wiper. He got a lot of private time with the king and so the position was highly desired.
This sketch contained quality whimsical japes, the secretary was well-chosen.
WORLD WAR 3 DECLARED!
"It was done in a really entertaining way. Though so the general vibe is positive. There where lots of fart noises and silly sound effects going on, as well as whimsical japes. Should be a good time! In this statement Blimpo was hilarious."
Blimpo has become Death, the destroyer of worlds...BOYOYOYOING!
This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a boi-oi-oi-io-oing
this is too close to reality for comfort
I just love Blimpo's deadpan humor. It's reminiscent of Oscar Wilde in its subtilty but there's hints of the dry wit of François Rabelais also. What a genius. Truly one of the great humorists of our generation.
Sometimes presidents are court jesters. The premise of this sketch is absolutely hilarious, but a court jester having access to the nuclear football is utterly terrifying.
Yes, we've noticed that....
Is comedy a new concept for you?
Biden, Trump, Bush Jr.
Like the one we have now
Anyone having access to nuclear weapons is terrifying, there isnt a single person or group of people that should be trusted with that much power. At least the court jester will make you laugh about it.
Man, choosing Steve Bannon to play blimpo was perfect.
❤😂
Aw dang! That was a good boy-yo-yo-yo-ing!
Why was I so proud of florflap for getting one right 😊
"I have a brother in law that goes by blim-py" classic. Who doesn't 😅
