history of the united states, i guess

note from the guy: thanks for watching, this was a school project, hope i can do more stuff like this in a more stylistic way

Bill wurtz:”You can make religion out of this” Kris:”You can make a political party out of this”

Finally. Someone decided to finally make a video mimicking his EXACT style. I know it's tough to recreate it, but I see a lot of creators making these types of videos, but trying absolutely no effort into actually trying to mimic his style. You just earned a like from me.

I'm glad you started explaining the native population from the broad introduction rather than starting off with the usual pilgrim + new england relations with the natives. Also the chronological pacing was really well done and really puts into perspective the grand timeline the US has gone through, rather than stretching it out for an academic year and poorly connecting each event with the next. Bill Wurtz's was greatly enjoyable but his was made intentionally vague as it was meant to just be a brief overview, whereas yours was very detailed and nuanced. Bill Wurtz's gives breath into widening people's foreign understanding of the world to stray away from western-centric history, establish a foundational understanding of the world, all while being digestibly entertaining. Whereas yours dives into depths genuinely twice as deep than any textbook can dive into, as they ignore otherwise crucial subtleties that you included. Your video gives a strong wave of information in such a slapstick compilation of US events and it's greatly appreciated. Your video may have been inspired by Bill Wurtz, with the lightheartededly quick snapshots and explanations w/ jokes, it's obvious the video was made by another masterful comedian and historian with hopes to educate his viewers. Although Wurtz's video may have been an LSD wet dream, I genuinely prefer your video over his. Well done mate 👍

Fun fact: the original concept of the famous “history of the entire world I guess” and “history of Japan” videos was going to be “history of the United States of America”, but he (Bill Wurtz) quit the project and it transformed into two of the most iconic TRvid videos ever made.

FUN FACT: Paul Revere never shouted "THE BRITISH ARE COMING, THE BRITISH ARE COMING" because at that time, everyone was British so it would be confusing. Instead he went up to peoples doors and whispered to them "The regulars are coming" and Paul Revere never actually finished his trip, another rider did. Him and William Dawes were captured by the regulars and questioned before being released.

I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now.

It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. The work put in to this is incredibly inspiring. The graphics, the animation, the music, so much thought was put into it. This has remined me that you can do anything you put your mind to. Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10. Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating.

I cried, beat off, and also watched a movie while watching this premiere. This has made me go through so much. I passed depression because of this. It really inspired me to become an outstanding young man. Thank you.

I am a history teacher, and this was incredibly impressive. Great job on this!

I'm so glad that someone decided to make a video in the same style as Bill Wurtz did with the history of Japan. Could you please do it for more countries such as Korea, China, Russia?

this video is amazing, hats off for all your hard work that went into this! As someone from the Philippines I was waiting for when you'd mention that part the US occupied us from what happened with Spain and the way you incorporated it was absolutely stellar, I can't imagine how much hard work went into making all this (those animated segments you drew were perfect!)

as a massive u.s. history nerd from australia and also a big bill wurtz fan, thank you for this masterpiece

This is a great homage to Bill Wurtz’s legacy. The samples and humor are just spot on.

Excellent! Finally someone decided to make more historical videos in this style. If Bill Wurtz won't do it himself, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be done. This is an untapped gold mine!

Man I wasn't having high hopes after seeing other creators try and replicate bill's style, but this video definitely exceeded my expections by miles.

The pre-columbian history part was actually surprisingly detailed. I want to know more! Give me more!

dude, first video of yours and I'm already craving more. It basically nailed bill wurtz humour and even had some edginess to it which I appreciate. One thing from a youtube perspective, your videos are constantly fast-paced and you could definitely get away with slower segments. It makes the videos more engaging and funny, Keep it up!

I love your spin on the style! You take on obvious aspects of Bill Wurtz's style, but most of the punchlines and key parts are your own. I especially like the flood of people recurring bit. These feels very heavily inspired by Bill Wurtz, but it doesn't feel like you're copying him.

This taught more in 10 minutes than history class did in a year.

I would be pretty satisfied if this became a micro-genre. Would love to see more like this!

I'm glad this style is being carried on by other youtubers and I also appreciate how the youtubers using this style give credit to the original creator.

Spanish: “Let’s use the natives as slaves!” Church: “No, we’ve just made that illegal!” Spanish: *”How Bout I Do It Anyway!””*

I will forever appreciates this channei. I think it would be great if there were only 10 million people in the world , or less . I'd love to live in a place with abundant natural resources , no war , and a meditative lifestyle . And some nice cannabis sativa stands .

"Then we buy the universe, or maybe go extinct idk." This is painfully accurate.

I’ve learned more from this video than I did in all my history classes combined 😂

Wurtz's style is so unique, so I'm very impressed at how well you were able to recreate that. I heard that Wurtz was originally making a history of the US, but gave up due to it being too complicated and instead did japan. I don't know if you knew that, but I'm sure Bill would be very proud.

Awesome job. I love the style. I always wished Bill Wurtz had continued doing these kinds of videos like he did for the world and Japan. Great idea doing this finally as there is definitely demand for it. Hope your channel blows up!

fun fact: bill wurtz originally was gonna make "history of the united states, i guess" but since at the time he was blowing up and for that he didn't look back at the project and when he decided to finish the project, he forgot everything that he learned and had to salvage it and that's how "history of japan" was born

I watched this in 1.25x speed and I gotta say the pace at which the video moves is nearly IDENTICAL to Bill. This is a masterpiece.

The punching into the sky (especially the 8:29)was the funniest part and the stampede of people too (Here’s all the time stamps of the Stampede! These were funny! 0:18, 1:34, 2:18, 5:33 and 11:07)! Edit: Please make more on different countries! I love this! And also I’ll give it a 9/10 cause you forgot Alaska!

9:50 “twice” 💀

I absolutely LOVE this Video! Great Impression and Homage on Bill Wurtz' Works! Please keep it up!

I love how you can see the Bill Wurtz influence, but it's so obviously your own thing! I love the little animations in the middle of all of it!

i love how this was inspired by bill wurtz, and not trying to be a direct copy. i’ve seen plenty of bill wurtz parodies that don’t work, but this one does. great job dude

It's insane that I was just thinking of how amazing a video on the history of America would be in the format from Bill Wurtz. Brilliantly done!

I'm very impressed with the editing in this! Good job man

Bill wurtz would be proud.

I love seeing this because Bill Wurtz's history of the entire world and history of Japan were epic and I was sad that he decided to stop making such videos.

This is great! It certainly has that Bill Wurtz vibe but I can see a few differences in style, so congrats on that! I hope you (or someone else) keep on doing videos like this on different topics in the future I'm like that guy from Ratatouille rn

this was actually super helpful for me because my history classes in high school were crap and I needed to brush up on history since I haven't had a class on history since then. definitely wrote down a number of events and names. Also just plain funny too, well done! :)

I love this so much!! Learning history couldve never been more fun in this style!! Thanks for all your efforts!!

he actually did a very good job, it felt like I was reviewing my history book chapters in perfect order 🤩😃

I like how he used accurate flags for the time showing that he put alot of time into this video.

I like how you gave your own charm by putting in drawings while staying true to Bill Wurtz’s style. Makes a good replacement to the jingles.

At 6:17 when Lincoln comes up on the screen I almost couldn’t stop laughing 😂

I love how he mimiced the bill wurtz style but also gave credit to him which made this man earn a sub and my respect

Everything about this reminds me of Bill Wurtz. It's exactly the style of his! if his voice were to be dubbed over it. I'd most likely think he himself made it. Incredible job! Subbing of course!

I’d like to see a creator copy his vibe and technique, and make it truly his own. That being said, this is the best I’ve seen. It still makes me glad Bill hasn’t done another one though. Perhaps the magic was in it’s utter uniqueness, like how you wouldn’t want a fight club 2, or joker 2.

Almost perfect, like a 9.9 out of 10, all it needed was some more jazzy jingles for words or concepts like Bill Wurtz's stuff, otherwise a 10 out of 10 for me

i love how this is very clearly wurtz-inspired but still distinct enough to be its own thing

Damn bro when I first watched this it had like a couple thousand views and I was worried it wouldn’t get the attention it deserved. So glad so see it’s hit a million now!

I learned more here than i did my entire semester in ap government cause my teacher refused to teach us and would rather cut the grass outside and talk to the seniors who hate him than teach us

I am REALLY impressed! I haven't seen anyone parody bill wurtz and channel his energy this accurately before.

The fact that this is funny but 100% accurate is amazing to me. Great job!

Fun fact: bill wirtz was originally going to make a history of America but went with Japan instead This video is so great, bill would be proud

i’m native american and that one segment made me laugh my ass off

The only thing missing is the little jingles Bill does. Other than that, this is literally his style, spot on.

I appreciate that you covered Reconstruction and the Gilded Age and actually put some weight on it. Most people just outright ignore everything that happened between 1865 and 1914, but it's so important. It's not as in depth as I would have hoped, but the fact that you took time out at all in such a fast video to cover it makes me so happy.

I was skeptical at first. I was thinking this would ruin Bill Wurtz's work, but you accomplished this with Flying Colors! Great Idea, Amazing execution!! Keep it up dude!

im sadly pretty sure that this is better than what most history teachers teach in a whole year

as someone who just took APUSH, this felt like speedrunning the entire course. well done, good man edit on july 5th: I GOT A 3 GUYS I WAS SO SCARED I WOULDN'T PASS AND I STRUGGLED A LOT IN THE CLASS ITSELF BUT OMG I'M LITERALLY SO RELIEVED edit for the non-Americans: a 3 in the US is passing. anything 3 or more on an AP exam is passing. AP exams are graded on a score from 1-5

This is incredible and I can’t believe nobody else has made something like it yet. Or that this man has less than 10k subs.

This video says a lot about the different vibe a voice actor can bring

I’d rather watch this than be in my history class

As someone who has taken a U.S. History class in college I love this video. I hope some history teachers on here react to this

Bro just taught us a years worth of history in 12 minutes

I can't imagine how long and difficult such a massive project most've been. And you did this while taking APUSH?? I admire your time management!

Glad this is finally becoming a genre if it's own... 5 years later.

this format type of learning gotta happen for a lot of countries, it was really enlightening! :)

I was really overwhelmed how this guy is good at editing and duplicate the original style precisely

This takes me back to my days as an APUSH student. Good job.

The music dotted throughout this, though in very brief segments, is glorious. Excellent video overall, too!

This nice video has DIFFERENT content while giving homage. Full respect. Another point, there's no such thing as intellectual property rights regarding style. please use what inspires you and make the best out of it. This is how human beings learn and improve. Keep in mind if you think it's good, there are others that think like you so don't get demotivated by the doubters. I guarantee there are people that appreciate what you're creating. Keep up the inspiration and the great work!

I like this, its cool. Its not just blatantly trying to be bill wurtz, its using his style to make something completely original while still feeling like its inspired by him and its cool.

Very well done, like Wurtz I think you did a great job balancing speed with detail. The jokes were great too, you didn't really have any bias and made fun of everyone equally.

this is one year of history in school downed to 12 minutes. explained 50 times better. amazing

“I’m gonna show you what democracy feels like” is probably my favorite line of this video

this video teaches me more history then my history teacher in just 12 minutes, amazing

I came in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of both your impression and historical knowledge. Sublime!

Little skeptical at first but the farther into this I got the funnier and better it got.

Dare I say this may be even better than bill wurtz with your modernized outreach of references, love them!

This taught me more than my American history class

Congrats man, it's really well done. It's bill wurtz, unique content, and a pinch of oversimplified. hope you're proud of yourself :)

I learned more in this one video than 2 years of history in school lol.

Not too shabby for an APUSH final project No but really you have a talent for this sort of thing great work mate Bill Wurtz would be brimming with pride!

Love these videos, any chance we might get to see more simplified stuff too?

I learned more from this 12 minute video than an entire year of apush

I remember some of this from my history classes, thanks. Also nice channel, you remind me of oversimplified but oversimplified even more and a better upload schedule.

I think this person's style is unique from Bill's. A bit punchier, less jingles, more SFX, and good quips (my favorite is "Look, another shooting.")

would love one with more added detail that you planned on doing in the beginning, salem witch trials, japanese internment camps, etc. amazing work and dedication nonetheless :)

dude im not even american but this was hella entertainment, it might be so hard to make but one day could you do "the history of brazil"? anyway great video

The family’s excitement over going to Disneyland was crazier than she anticipated.

IT WAS FANTASTIC!! Great Impression and Homage on Bill Wurtz works! Keep up the good work :)

I’m gonna be honest that was wayyyy better than I expected

"Knock knock, it's Columbus from Europe" I was dying at that part 🤣

I wish my history class was as simple and short as this

Well done. Captures Bill Wurtz's style really well. It must have been a pain to edit

Holy crap dude this is so well made. Please make more!!

I'm so glad somone did this in the style of Bill Wurtz, this has to be the first one of these types of videos to do that. Great job!

This taught me way more than history can hope to

Loved this vid. Ive seen a lot of comments saying how they want to make their own, and yall should work together and do it!
