Aliens : "So, tell us a bit about your so-called 'Earth'." Me :

Me: Connects to internet Chrome: “And the dinosaurs are gone”

It’s tradition to come back to this once in a while

"Sike, they both get angrier" Forshadowing to what is happening right now

"Oops half of europe just died" Dude i hate when that happens

“i can’t even get from here to there without buying a boat” *shows plane*

Flashback to the time this one kid in my class sang this whole damn video from memory during history.

I remember when I first got to know about this video... at the time I didn't speak English at all. Then I promised to myself I'd learn it just so I could watch this masterpiece. Here I am a few years later. Every minute of this journey was worth it.

History class: *takes an hour and a half to learn something* Bill Wurtz: pathetic

teacher: why isnt the sun killing us me: *raises hand* teacher: go ahead tim me: blanket.

7:39 “Heyyyy” said the romans, eating the entire Mediterranean for breakfast

15:04 "so britain tried to get them addicted to opium, which worked actually, then china made it illegal and dumped it all into the sea, so britain threw a hissy fit" LMAO

First sentence: “you’re on a rock floating in space” Last sentence: “where the hell are we”

“Whoops, half of Europe just died.” The casualness is great

this video is the literal embodiment of dopamine for me, like it makes me so happy every time i watch it

*”TASTE THE SUUNNN”* sounds like something you would find in a soda ad

Someone: "Hey Bill what's your favorite time period in history?" Bill: "yes"

Teachers: UKposts rots your brain Bill Wurtz: hold my beer

cant wait for the thing inventor to drop in 4 years

Oddly enjoyable to read through the comments. We got people who've found this video for the first time, people who have come back for a while, folk talking about their favorite parts of the video, religious folk leaving their opinions about the video (primarily the beginning), individuals stating how much more effective this has taught them than school, etc, etc. Oh, and don't forget the occasional religious brain-rot. Not everybody is too happy about people with varying beliefs, but it is what it is.

School: *1 year* Bill wurtz: *19minutes 26seconds take it or leave it*

‘Whoops, half of Europe just died.’

This is "We Didn't Start the Fire" for our generation

I quote the following FAR too often: 0:11 “HOW did this happen?” 2:13 “Thaaat’s land!” 2:44 “taste the Suuun” 5:02 “Sociiiety” 8:29 “HELL YEAH, now we got BUSINESS” 13:53 “Stolen!”

World: *exists* Bill: _You can make a meme out of this_

"He's mad at jews for existing" gets me every time

WHAT IF: over simplified and bill wurtz come together and teach our SCHOOL HISTORY CLASS

can’t stop coming back here. it’s so fun to point out the little things you’ve learned more in depth just to realize this one video could explain it all way quicker. such a classic and always a favorite

Mom: why don’t you go outside? Me: *the sun is a deadly lazer*

“Except Britain because they don’t feel like it” is the most British phrase known

Love how Canada wasn’t even mentioned once

I wish someone made a comprehensive playlist with videos going in depth about everything mentioned in this video. I just watched a movie length video about the cambrian explosion which made me think of how every 5 seconds in this video probably has some long educational video on UKposts.

Bill Wurtz: (says something) Everyone: We can make a religion out of this.

"Whoops, half of Europe just died."

5:35 “Knock knock or Clop Clop it’s the people…with the horses, and they made an empire!” *and then everyone else copied their horses* Most underrated joke imo

My favorite parts: (I'm watching this a school. It's my only entertainment.) 3:01 - 3:06 "Hey can we go on land?" "NO" "Why?" "THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER" "Oh ok" 3:43 - 3:45 "Oh fuck everything's dead now" 3:50 - 3:52 "Yeah it broke apart, yeah don't worry about it, it does it all the time" 4:26 - 4:34 "Fuck it time to plant some ✨Grass ✨" "Look at this, I control the food now" "Now everyone will want to be friend and live near me" "Let's all build houses- except mine is bigger because I control the food" 5:11 - 5:18 "Tried of using, LAME, SAD, METAL?" "Introducing" "✨BRONZE ✨" "Made with special ingredient ✨TIN ✨ from the far lands of ✨TIN LAND ✨" "I don't know, my dealer won't tell me where he gets it." 5:48 -5:55 "New arrivals in India" "Maybe it's those horse people I was talking about or their cousins or something???" 6:57 - 7:05 "Time to conquer of all ✨INDIA ✨" "Or-" *Interrupted* "Or most of ✨INDIA ✨"

“it’s a bird” “it’s a plane” *”it’s the seljuk turks”*

Teacher: So who is ready to write a history test? Bill:Sharpening 20+ pencils

Man im gonna be so sad when someone makes a part 2 to this video in a 1000 years. And i'm not gonna be around to see it.

this video is probably on the golden record being carried on the voyager

I'm scared to blink and miss a whole century.

Honestly, the funniest part for me is how this turns from a science lesson to a history lesson

10:11 "but the Northeners or 'Norse' if you don't have much time" always makes me chuckle!

10:35 feels so out of place, I love it

* whispers * *it makes cars go* america: 👁👄👁

When your world history test is in 20 minutes and you haven’t studied.

2023: AI gets better 2028: Thing-inventor invents the thing inventor, thinks the thing inventor (the technological singularity). This video has been right so far, I don't see why it would stop.

Time for my monthly rewatch

"Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex" - Albert Einstein

Bill Wurtz: *"THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER"* The Internet: "We can make a religion out of this"

Ludwig said this is the greatest UKposts video of all time. He’s right

'Sike they both get angrier.' ⏩2024

Teacher: If you’re so smart summarize the history of the world Him: *_INHALES_*

“Woops half of Europe just died” -Rat

I take a pilgrimage to this video every month and i won't stop until i can quote it all

this is the greatest video on youtube and i dont think anything comes close. a summary of Literally Everything ever, it has so many memorable quotes and jingles and the editing is just shockingly high effort i cant imagine how this was made, and the small musical touches are Perfect and its funny and engaging for the entire duration also the context of the video like, this guy made

Alt title: how to learn everything without learning anything

teacher: you can’t learn the history of the entire world in 20 minutes.. me:

After many times watching this video, I spotted one mistake. At 14:24 it is said that Louis XIV got his head cut off during the french revolution, this is however not true(as I am sure someone already pointed out). Louis XIV, also known as The Sun King, died in 1715 as an absolute monarch. Louis XVI is the king that the video is referring to.

That word "HOT" was SO dramatic i should play the drums ALSO i never heard of the permian extinction

I watched a 2 hour documentary in school about how Buddhism came to be. bill: sat under a tree for so long that he figured out how to ignore the fact that were all dying.

"The soviet union decides to relax a little and accidentally falls apart." Story of my life

I showed this to my history teacher he loved it

Pov: the backstory to that one minecraft server

Some stars burn out and die Bigger stars burn out and die with *_PÁSSION_*

“The sun is a deadly lazer” 3 years later “HERE COMES THE SUN”

9:05 The mayans have figured out the *⭐️STARS⭐️*

I watch this video like twice a year it’s fantastic

The amount of times this man said that China is back together and China is broken in the same sentence is absurd

"hi, you're on a rock, floating in space" "by the way where the hell are we" history repeats itself

God I wish you'd kept making these. I understand it'd have been an impossible investment of time and energy - and a huge risk, hard to improve on perfection - but wow, so many years later and this is still miles ahead of anything else in its field.

I come back to this video yearly since its release. It's my fav video on UKposts. Literally the only one I rewatch.

“Europe hasn’t had a war since the last war” Well, yes that is how that works

“Germany’s back, featuring Hitler; the angry mustache model.”

This taught me more than my school history teacher covering this exact topic

I just visited my mother but I couldn’t stay because of stuff. Then I started to cry hard. Really hard. Then I turn to this video This video then helped me calm down. Thank you very much for existing

i love coming back here as i learn more history and going "hey i know that!!"

"A guy who's popular and arrested and killed for being popular which makes him more popular" Best description ever

I love how the “strange fish” only have two frames

Who’s here in 2024

Cant wait for Bill to drop “The Entire History of 2020 I guess”

"6:00 you can make a religion out of this" "6:34 you can make a religion out of this" "7:52 you can make a religion out of this" "9:35 you can make a religion out of this” “14:30 you can make a reli- no don't"

Looking forward for part 2 in the next couple centuries!

“Hey can I reply here?” *NO!* “why?” *THE INTERNET’S A PILE OF GARBAAAGE!* 🎶🎶 “oh okay” 17:45 this aged well

Today I learned that nobody was ever in Canada and it probably doesn’t exist other then being a big chunk of land

Humans: ”Lets have a quiet minute to honour some dead guy” Bill Wurtz: ”Lets have a quiet 0.000016 of a second to honour half of Europe”

Like 4 years ago I saw this and became so obsessed I have the entire thing memorised

The idea that things just started being "alive" in the ocean with coded software of how to replicate itself is insane.

"The sun is a deadly lazer" "And the dinosaur are gone"

"They found greenland and iceland and named them accordingly" was the best

Bro made a video about everything and simplified it for our pea brains

Came back to rewatch and the third time is when I realize this is extraordinarily well written and put together. Thank you for this bill, genuinely

“Can’t go over there without buying a boat” shows plane

"THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER" - Me, every time the sun gets in my eyes whilst driving.

This video was the MVP of my AP World History class

'"Let's save the planet!" Said everyone not knowing how.' Love him or hate him, he's spitting fax.

lil dicky: I made the best video about the earth bill: *hold my deadly lazer*

We gon Need a part 2 in Another 5 billion years

I hate History class but this video is entertaining and I can't stop rewatching it

Don't pay attention for five seconds and you miss three eras
