Asked my husband what he thought the function of a rubber duck was and his response was so pure. He said and I quote, “it’s so you have a bath time companion. That way you are not lonely.”
The function of a rubber duck, as said on Google is: "With their bright color, smooth texture, and (for some) squeaky or quacky sounds, rubber ducks sharpen toddlers' senses. Their presence in the bathtub soothes youngsters' fears of water and water immersion and makes good clean fun of the routine hygiene they're learning."
Also, since it floats and will draw the child’s attention it can be considered a safety device by encouraging the child to keep their head above water.
Arthur Weasley: you boys took the car?… how did it go? Molly Weasley: Arthur! We are not encouraging this! Arthur Weasley: I’m not encouraging. I’m just asking how it went.
One Harry Potter question I’ve always had is: In Philosopher’s Stone when Vernon and Petunia took Dudley to the hospital to get his tail removed, how on earth did they explain it to the doctors?
Actually my theory is that the government only the government knew abt wizards and their secrets so they took him to a private hospital where muggles go when they get cursed or in this case a piggy tail. Idk but I just can’t up with it bc this can’t be the only time muggles got cursed or something by a wizard.
If you really want to hear Snape with a Southern accent, there is a movie called Something the Lord Made where Alan Rickman plays a doctor with a Southern accent.
The whole Ludo thing is a stretch. Bagman is characterized as being bad with his money. His gift is supposed to set up that character traits. His brother's lawnmower probably was the smallest thing and Arthur took care of it. Ludo then went and gave a ridiculous gift in return. This properly highlights his financial irresponsibility and makes total sense from a literary perspective.
Even if we assume that Arthur didnt expect anything in return for helping Ludo's brother, he still pretty clearly helped him because they were connected via Ludo. That itself is corruption
@@philipmalaby8172 eh, he's arguably got a good paying job. He managed to make a high enough wage to house, feed, and clothe a family of 9, and still have some money to put into personal interests of his family, and allow his wife to be a stay at home mother. Sure, the clothes were second hand and the interests were lower cost stuff, but even in the wizarding world, a large family costs a lot of money. If they had had one or two kids, they likely would have been relatively well off. Not Malfoy level, definitely, but still middle class. Plus he works in a job he absolutely loves, so I'm not sure he would ever use the dirt he's got on his co-workers to ever get a position away from doing it.
@@philipmalaby8172 it's because of two things: he loves the work he does, so he swallows his pride regarding the pay, and the other thing is that the Ministry establishment is clearly biased against progressive attitudes like being pro-muggle. He's stuck in that position until Fudge gets canned, remember.

Theory: is there a dark story behind professor binns teaching history after his death? They portray it in the books as if he’s just really dedicated or something, but to my knowledge he’s the only ghost who is doing labor for the sake of people in the living realm. Also I think that there are a lot of preparations a wizard needs to make to become a ghost, and it seems odd to make those preparations just to keep working beyond his own death. Is there any chance that binns is continuing to teach because he has been cursed in some way? And if so, who might have done it? Also, trivia fun fact: his first name is cuthbert
Yeah don't they tell the story that he died peacefully in his sleep on a couch and when we got up he didn't realize he was dead and just went to his class to teach as normal.
@@matthewpatrick7263 That's because there aren't a lot of preparations, rather a wizard sorta subconsciously chooses upon death whether to remain in the real world, usually due to unfinished business.
The function of a rubber duck is to serve as a children's bath toy; it is a toy in which children may play with in the bathtub. I mean, I guess adults like James Veitch can play with it too...

I was gonna say that Arthur never actually uses the magical functions of the flying car, but he totally does. We don’t see him fly it, but in the books we see the car fitting more people and trunks in it than should be physically possible.
He didn't make fun of them for being high up seats. Those were the exact seats the Malfoys also sat in. He made fun of him for being poor and that their house is so worthless there's no way he'd get enough money to afford top box seats by selling it.
@@survivordave I respectfully disagree. Firstly, I’m referring to Malfoy senior. Whom says after Ron asks “dad how high up are we?” Malfoy senior says “well put it this way, if it rains you’ll be the first to know”. I don’t think there’s any other way to take that comment other than Malfoy is insulting them for having bad seats and being poor. It’s pretty commonly known in the real word that seats way up high are the cheap seats, but in quidditch one would think it would be the opposite. The higher up you are the better you can see.
@@kevind6723 That dialogue from Lucius Malfoy must have been exclusive to the movie because it certainly wasn't in the books. I was referring to the dialogue from the book. I've only watched each movie once but have read through each of the books a dozen or more times, so I'm quite certain I'm describing the book scene accurately. In the books the Weasleys, Harry, etc are up in the Top Box with the Malfoys, the British and Bulgarian Ministers of Magic, and Ludo who was doing the commentating. The movies must have changed it to be more realistic to the Weasley's poverty (although in the book the tickets to the top box were a gift from Ludo to repay a favor Mr Weasley did for him, not that Mr Weasley had to pay for them)
@@survivordave you are 100% correct. It’s the movies where that dialogue takes place. It makes sense in the book. Looks like it was just a miscommunication between the two of us. I was referring to the movies and you were talking about the books. No biggie. I’ve read the books a bunch. And they make a lot more sense than the movies do. The movies have a lot of weird inconsistencies, from little stuff like I was just referring to, and to kind of big stuff like Dumbledore hunting for horcruxes before he even knew that Voldemort had created them. In the book he wants to know how many he created, but in the movie he doesn’t even know that he created them yet he’s been hunting for them for over a year. It doesn’t sense.
No one can convince me otherwise that Mr Weasley was a prankster himself and he managed to get away with the pranks he ever did in his hogwarts years. Like father, like twins. 🖤

Doesn’t mean they should not. Hermione and Barty Sr would not approve. And all those Bulgarians who didn’t fit to the top box when Weasleys got all the seats when Ludo gave them the tickets after Arthur covered up what Ludo’s brother did.

Considering that the entire ministry is corrupt, and most of its members and leaders are incompetent, Weasley is probably in the top 1% of the LEAST objectionable ministry employees.
Arthur Weasley is my favorite HP character. His enthusiasm for everything, his kindness, how much he loves his family. He can take a snake attack like nobody's business!
Molly: You wrote that law Arthur: What law? Molly: The law. The law about not using muggle cars. The law written specifically so wizards don’t use muggle cars. The muggle cars law.
J and Ben, Can you guys make a video covering all the limitations of apparition. So many plot holes with apparition, so a theory video on its limitations would be amazing. For example the plot hole of why Voldemort didn’t just apparate to Godric’s Hollow when Nagini had Harry.
Yes pls, I was wondering that too. Why does it sometimes take people a greater amount of time to apparate to a certain location than it usually does? „Hey we’ve got the Chosen One but he’s got just about enough time to develop a plot to escape from our grasp so take your time!“
I think this kind of "corruption" is very widespread in the ministry. the wizards know that they are few, to the point that they know each other personally, so they feel like they need to stick up for each other. this brings to the constant exchange of small favour- smoothing a thing here, giving tickets there... it's almost cultural, at this point.
In the programming world, there’s something called “rubber duck debugging” where you have a big in your code that you are trying to figure out and if you don’t have anyone to talk to you can talk it out to a rubber duck and you might just solve the problem. Or if you go ask someone about the problem and end up solving it without their help you say “thanks for being my rubber duck” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

The function of a rubber duck. So that Mr. Weasley could be a dad to Harry and make him feel comfortable in his home. I loved Mr. Weasley. Everything he did was so humorous.
Arthur worked with Muggle stuff. He couldn't possibly not know the function of a rubber duck. He was just trying to make Harry more comfortable in The Burrow, for which I APPLAUD
13:30 - Super Carlin Brother's editor is a wizard. How was it done? Dude literally threw a duck into the cup in the mirror and there was no duck in the real cup.
And yet it is well known that "absolute power corrupts absolutely". You could argue that it's the fear of losing said power that causes the corruption. But in that case you will have to accept that said fear would not exist without the power and thus the power is still the source of the corruption.
Serious answer: The function is a child's bath toy. It's used to distract and entertain a child while receiving a bath. Really serious answer: Its a collectors item. Each one can have a unique outfit or design.
Nah I always thought the twins were super smart but unlike someone like Hermione who prided herself of education the twins put it into their inventions and that bet with Ludo would have funded WWW Which is why Harry enables them with the prize money from the TriWiz.
One of them bet Ireland would win the other twin bet that Krum would catch the Snitch. For them considering Krum to be the best seeker by a wide margin this meant that at worst (Krum catches it 5 seconds in) they would break even. If something happened to Krum (bludger injury for example) then Ireland would still win and they would again break even. This made it a pretty safe bet.
bending the rules and breaking them is a huge differnce here in germany. we have the "Willkür" e.g a policeofficer can put on a blind eye if he sees fit. like not persecutin a starving thief who stole bread. its bending. not breaking
Borrowing without asking is bending, because it is still technically stealing, but you bring it back. Taking and never returning something is breaking, regardless of the reason, it is outright stealing.
@@Mark_Goddin We do have that in the USA. Officers are responsible for interpreting the law in order to apply it. That's why they can give you a warning instead of a ticket when they pull you over, to use the most familiar example. Although, a starving person may actually be done better by a weekend indoors with 3 meals a day, free medical care, and referral to social services, than just by letting them go.
He's technically corrupt but not selfishly or maliciously so. He has dirt on people so he can expose them if need be. He also has accumulated owed favors that he can call on to help his friends and family. So he's more like the most benevolent mafia man in regards to his corruption.
I always assumed that the lawnmower-deal was more of an idea of Ludo Bagman, trying to save his brother, just like it was his idea to bet on Harry and then trying to give Harry tips for the tournament
one thing that is significant: when Arthur was promoted by the beginning of book 6, he was the Head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. somehow the shop of Fred and George got a great order from the ministry that they would buy their anti jinx hats and such, and the twins has claimed that it was where they make real money. kind of sus
In 1998 I was a night DJ for WSMC College Radio. I was told that I had 0 Zero listeners. So, to prove a point I played the Rubber Ducky song on a continuing loop for my whole program, asking that if there were any listeners, call me and I would switch songs. Yup, no calls. Period.
Read the following Snape lines in a Kentucky accent: "Mr. Potter, our new celebrity." "Turn to page 394." "Don't lie to me." "Avada Kedavra." "You have your mother's eyes." "Always."
That is an excellent movie! Semi-Spoilers...... Also, I had the Blalock-Taussig Shunt. I was born without several parts of my heart which caused me to be a “blue baby.” They had to do the Blalock-Taussig Shunt to get oxygenated blood to my body before they even attempted to “fix” my heart. That surgery gave me the six months I needed to get to the next surgery, which gave me the 8 months I needed to get to my final surgery. My doctor actually had Dr. Blalock on the phone while doing my surgery. According to my mom, the movie is extremely accurate in how the surgery works and the experience for the parents.
There is a wonderful theory that Aurther knows the answers to the questions he asks Harry but wants him to feel welcome and needed as more than "the savior" so asks these questions as icebreakers.

Arthur Weasley is my favorite HP character. His enthusiasm for everything, his kindness, how much he loves his family. He can take a snake attack like nobody's business!
I want a rubber duck dressed as aurthor weesly now.
Molly: You wrote that law
Arthur: What law?
Molly: The law. The law about not using muggle cars. The law written specifically so wizards don’t use muggle cars. The muggle cars law.
Kuskos poison
Ah, *that* law
Arthur: ...That law?
Molly: YES, THAT LAW!
Yzma:
Why, I practically raised him.
Kronk:
Yeah, you'd think he would've turned out better.
Yzma:
Yeah, go figure.
The outtakes, accents, and inserts cleared my skin and brought my plants back to life. Yisssss.
They brought them back to life?! They must be really good!
And did we just find the magic which defeats death?!
J and Ben,
Can you guys make a video covering all the limitations of apparition. So many plot holes with apparition, so a theory video on its limitations would be amazing. For example the plot hole of why Voldemort didn’t just apparate to Godric’s Hollow when Nagini had Harry.
There was aspell prevent ing it like on Hogwarts
Yes pls, I was wondering that too. Why does it sometimes take people a greater amount of time to apparate to a certain location than it usually does? „Hey we’ve got the Chosen One but he’s got just about enough time to develop a plot to escape from our grasp so take your time!“
Because J. K. needed a way for him to be super slow
Wow. The absolute joy on their faces everytime they made the duck into the cup gave me 10 years back on my life
I think this kind of "corruption" is very widespread in the ministry. the wizards know that they are few, to the point that they know each other personally, so they feel like they need to stick up for each other. this brings to the constant exchange of small favour- smoothing a thing here, giving tickets there... it's almost cultural, at this point.
In the programming world, there’s something called “rubber duck debugging” where you have a big in your code that you are trying to figure out and if you don’t have anyone to talk to you can talk it out to a rubber duck and you might just solve the problem. Or if you go ask someone about the problem and end up solving it without their help you say “thanks for being my rubber duck” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
I've heard about this before! It's a great use tbh
Wasn't the Rubber Duck Debugging invented as an alternative to annoying your colleagues, who could not focus on their work because of you talking? :D
I use it all the time. Very useful
@@oliviarediess6244 I even have a T-shirt with ducks for this purpose ;)

During that "[American] Southern" redub, all I could think of was "what IS a Southern London accent?" and the Doctor Who Quote...

The function of a rubber duck. So that Mr. Weasley could be a dad to Harry and make him feel comfortable in his home. I loved Mr. Weasley. Everything he did was so humorous.
I can tell you weren’t sponsored by dollar shave club this time
Yeah that’s his yeard ( popcorn culture check it out if you haven’t already)

O.o he needs a good shave. Though if he loves the look then i shall respect it.

Ben: "Can we just remake the entire HP series acting as if he's from the south"
Me, an intellectual from the north of England:
THE South. Not the south of England. But it took me a minute to decide.
Tho it would be interesting to hear them all speak cockney.
He def sounded southern from the states
Luther Reus why do foreigners always call the US “the states”
No one says that here
@@elizabethrose644 its bc they take united states literally i believe. Sense the US is made up of states.
I would love to see some of Arthur's hi-jinks at the Ministry of Magic and how he managed to do some of the illegal stuff that he did.
Arthur worked with Muggle stuff. He couldn't possibly not know the function of a rubber duck. He was just trying to make Harry more comfortable in The Burrow, for which I APPLAUD
Just for the rubber duck bit, this has to be one of my new favorite SCB videos
the last time i was this early ben didn’t have a beard
You mean a yeard right?
Is it just me or did his beard grow a ton in the past few weeks?

Ducks go in cups felt like watching a Dude Perfect video

"Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts, perhaps the fear of a loss of power”
Which isnt fully true tho
he says to Kim jong un
Dakota Blount yes it is...that’s humanity for ya.
Wise
And yet it is well known that "absolute power corrupts absolutely". You could argue that it's the fear of losing said power that causes the corruption. But in that case you will have to accept that said fear would not exist without the power and thus the power is still the source of the corruption.
Who needs dude perfect when you have super carlin brothers rubber duck trickshots!
Totally what I was thinking!!! Lol😂
I just noticed the rubber duck head and duck pin on his shirt in the thumbnail. Amazing
I love how you compared the Quidditch World Cup to the superbowl instead of the, you know, actual World Cup. Americanness at its finest hahaha
The purpose of a rubber duck is scientific surveys of ocean currents, obviously.
Serious answer: The function is a child's bath toy. It's used to distract and entertain a child while receiving a bath.
Really serious answer: Its a collectors item. Each one can have a unique outfit or design.
The function of a rubber duck is to be a silly little guy
Somehow, you guys make 15-20 minutes go back so quickly. Keeps my attention the whole time and I can’t wait to watch every video
They never said the function of a rubber duck so technically you're correct
The "your" triggers me
@@aaveey sorry
@@aaveey Is that better?
Lol you actually edited it
@@hi_greyson4627 yes
Did the twins take divination? Because they got their bet with Ludo Bagman spot on
Ooh good theory idea I've always wondered about that
Nah I always thought the twins were super smart but unlike someone like Hermione who prided herself of education the twins put it into their inventions and that bet with Ludo would have funded WWW Which is why Harry enables them with the prize money from the TriWiz.
One of them bet Ireland would win the other twin bet that Krum would catch the Snitch. For them considering Krum to be the best seeker by a wide margin this meant that at worst (Krum catches it 5 seconds in) they would break even. If something happened to Krum (bludger injury for example) then Ireland would still win and they would again break even. This made it a pretty safe bet.
@@waynerees9355 I always thought both twins together bet on that specific outcome, not the split
They're talented Quidditch players and extremely street-smart, clever and cunning. They literally just figured it out
I always thought they got box seats because Arther told Bagman that Harry would be coming along.

Now that is the use of a rubber duck.

@Add E ohh you know james veitch (the funny guy that did a ted talk and born on April 1st ) wow
we need to talk about the ducks
@@princess_mj4396 I liked Halloween
bending the rules and breaking them is a huge differnce here in germany. we have the "Willkür"
e.g a policeofficer can put on a blind eye if he sees fit. like not persecutin a starving thief who stole bread. its bending. not breaking
But here in Germany, everything is a bit different, and "bürokratischer"? 😂😂😂
That sounds extremely reasonable. I wish we had that in the USA
Im pretty sure that’s breaking
Borrowing without asking is bending, because it is still technically stealing, but you bring it back. Taking and never returning something is breaking, regardless of the reason, it is outright stealing.
@@Mark_Goddin We do have that in the USA. Officers are responsible for interpreting the law in order to apply it. That's why they can give you a warning instead of a ticket when they pull you over, to use the most familiar example. Although, a starving person may actually be done better by a weekend indoors with 3 meals a day, free medical care, and referral to social services, than just by letting them go.
He's technically corrupt but not selfishly or maliciously so. He has dirt on people so he can expose them if need be. He also has accumulated owed favors that he can call on to help his friends and family. So he's more like the most benevolent mafia man in regards to his corruption.
I always assumed that the lawnmower-deal was more of an idea of Ludo Bagman, trying to save his brother, just like it was his idea to bet on Harry and then trying to give Harry tips for the tournament
The rubber duck scene looked sooooo fun to make
I'm Brazilian so to me "Corrupt Government Employee" is a redundancy.
I'm American and same.
@@jorceshaman I'm Filipino and same.
Is there any country in the world where that's not true?
Odojinya87 I mean Austria isn’t too bad imo
Godspeed comrades, godspeed.
one thing that is significant: when Arthur was promoted by the beginning of book 6, he was the Head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. somehow the shop of Fred and George got a great order from the ministry that they would buy their anti jinx hats and such, and the twins has claimed that it was where they make real money. kind of sus
Art also has like 6 kids? When you have everything to lose, you play ball

In 1998 I was a night DJ for WSMC College Radio. I was told that I had 0 Zero listeners. So, to prove a point I played the Rubber Ducky song on a continuing loop for my whole program, asking that if there were any listeners, call me and I would switch songs. Yup, no calls. Period.

This is one of the FEW channels where I actually enjoy the ads
Read the following Snape lines in a Kentucky accent:
"Mr. Potter, our new celebrity."
"Turn to page 394."
"Don't lie to me."
"Avada Kedavra."
"You have your mother's eyes."
"Always."
Thank you though I live in ky so I don’t really get it
I have no idea what a Kentucky accent sounds like
This made me laugh harder then it should have!
I D K a more subtle southern accent usually
We can always imagine Daniel Craig from Knives Out doing that.
I like how Scott's just minding his own business and Ben throws a duck into his cup.
Thank you Ben and J for making my lunch breaks so much more pleasant during home office times ☺️
Day 4 of convincing super Carlin brothers to make umbrella academy theories
Alan Rickman actually did a Southern accent in the movie "Something the Lord Made," also starring Mos Def. Good movie.
That is an excellent movie!
Semi-Spoilers......
Also, I had the Blalock-Taussig Shunt. I was born without several parts of my heart which caused me to be a “blue baby.” They had to do the Blalock-Taussig Shunt to get oxygenated blood to my body before they even attempted to “fix” my heart. That surgery gave me the six months I needed to get to the next surgery, which gave me the 8 months I needed to get to my final surgery. My doctor actually had Dr. Blalock on the phone while doing my surgery. According to my mom, the movie is extremely accurate in how the surgery works and the experience for the parents.
12:41 Sokka on Cactus juice: It’ll quench ya! It’s the quenchiest!
i was so hoping for an anecdote to that!
There is a wonderful theory that Aurther knows the answers to the questions he asks Harry but wants him to feel welcome and needed as more than "the savior" so asks these questions as icebreakers.
Mr. Weasley: How did it go.
Mr. Incredible: How fast do you think you were going?
These connections make me smile😁

Is it an underwater creature from out of this world? A bestest fwendy wend to all the boy’s and girls?
No? Oh yeah wrong fandom.
From Guardians of the Galaxy?
No wait, wrong movie.
My answer is: "A rubber duck ist bathing toy. Some people oder der zu o use little boats intead."
the pure childlike exitment in the rubber duck scene, beutiful
"Besides the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on."
Mr. Weasley: His brother, Otto got into a spot of trouble - a lawnmower with unnatural powers - I smoothed the whole thing over.

Arthur Weasley's corruption: Skirting the laws for personal gains, using political influence to keep friends and family out of trouble and accepting high end gifts.
My family originally being from the Ukraine 🇺🇦: That's cute
I love the irony of talking about corruption while advertising a literal loan shark company
I'd tell you the true function of a rubber duck but you couldn't handle the potentially catastrophic consequenches of knowing that information.
I sit in my room all day and hardly talk to anyone. I doubt there would be any consequenches if I knew the true function of a rubber duck.
