What people think Puppet History is: A guy messing around with puppets and telling crazy stories about history. What it feels like: A cursed immortal puppet overseeing a game show with hopes of finding his lost family again.
I love how some Professor/Genie lore was planned and written into one of the question segments, like some sort of mind-blow moment, _but that freaking theory of _*_the professor being a human who just keeps eating magic jellybeans to maintain a puppet form_* was just shot out there in the beginning and now It's near impossible to forget.
@@uwuzi That made it so much darker. Now I want a whole story about this and that too the sound of the one who wanted a jellybean sounds like the crabs, Mari and Gina from the Hotdaga.
I like to think that Ryan is forced to take this course with the Professor so he can get his final credits to graduate from Puppet University and the Professor only has contempt for him
Fun fact: King's Mistress was an official position in the French court for some time. Reportedly, many King's Mistresses and Queens actually got along well. One of these King's Mistresses was Madame de Pompadour.
Kings of other countries started having official mistresses, because the french court was a serious trendsetter. One story is that a king appointed a mistress, showered her with lavish gifts, and proceeded to never touch her because he was fiercely devoted to his queen
I'm not entirely surprised the Queen and the Mistresses got along well. Marriages weren't usually about love and more about power moves. Really Mistresses could relate more than anyone else
And fun fact about Madame de Pompadour: She was stupid powerful for a woman in politics at the time. Some have said that she was practically a prime minister and was in charge of the King’s schedule. Just to emphasize that, she decided who got to see the head of state and who did not, along with deciding who to promote and who to demote in the government.
Slowed down to read the super fast disclaimer: "Watcher entertainment does not approve of the professor's vaping habits and hopes that you'll keep in mind that he is a nasty little creep whose diet consists of spiders and possibly even dolphin meat" I'm dead.
last season professor backstory: he was cursed by a genie! how whimsical! this season professor backstory: he lost his family horribly somehow and he represses the memory but maintains a lingering connection to them through the jellybeans
@@hayliew611 My personal (wildly specific) headcanon is that the Professor and his son were an archaeology duo and the Professor's boy "stole" a genie's treasured jellybeans. Now he's being held captive by said genie in one of the many time-periods the Professor has to visit (hence where he gets all this knowledge for the show) to try and rescue him. Of course, genies are wily little fuckers, so that's obviously easier said than done.
He actually mentioned in an episode of unsolved that he loves puppets, before this show even started, so I assume his friends just know that it’s one of his interests anyway!
"Watcher Entertainment does not approve of the professors vaping habit and hopes that you'll keep in mind that he is a nasty little creep whose diet consists of spiders and possibly even dolphin meat." I love it! 😂
I was kinda hoping they'd talk about Guilia Tofana. She murdered at least six hundred men (who were abusive towards their wives) between 1633 to 1651 with her own poison called Aqua Tofana. (I did a 15-page report on her and other female serial killers so I wanna see more videos on her!)
I feel like Garrick offhandedly mentioned to Shane that he had a puppet of himself and Shane went, "you son of a bitch, you've done it! your puppet must be featured!!" which is why no one else has been turned into a puppet by the jelly beans simply because they don't have their own puppets and Shane wouldn't want to make them.
Conclusion: He's not really effective at it but somehow hasn't died yet. Must be the good will of the people. Certainly not his poison probing abilities XD
Dude, the other day my teacher brought up the Donner Party and everyone was wondering why I knew so much about this cannibalism-caravan. Saying “oh, I learned it from a blue puppet with a satchel full of jelly beans” is a tad odd.
@@SnakeEnthusiast mood. I wonder how many people will think I'm weird when it comes time to talk about history. Everyone will ask, "why do you know about a golden stool?" "Why do you know about a bunch of people who ate each other?" "How do you know about a French royal member basically playing russian roulette with poison on sick people?"
the professor says "gaudin de sainte croix" like the french uncle that smokes 2 packs a day, has never had a meal without meat and will make the cheese go down with 3 glasses of cheap red wine. it's both terrifying yet impressive.
Am I the only one who really wants know the lore behind the professor? repressed family memories, encounters with genies and other things I really know how he got here and how his family is doing
Sorry I think it's just so cute to imagine Shane playing the professor and putting on a puppet show for his friends. A history puppet show for adults. It's very cute.
After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly. Actual Score: Ryan had 4 points and Garrick had 2. Another win for Ryan, he's been winning a lot of these latest ones.
What we've learned about the Professor this episode: 1) For sure has a bevy of mistresses (mistressi?) 2) Has likely poisoned at least one member of his family 3) Was possibly a former human but can't get enough of those sweet, sweet cursed puppet-jellybeans 4) Vapes
"Wait, Bastille is actually a word besides being a shitty band?" I say this with all the love I have in my heart: Ryan is a real life himbo and it's currently the biggest source of joy in my life
does ryan not remember talking about the bastille during the world's most expensive necklace episode? maybe if he paid more attention in class he'd finally be crowned history master...
"If you have a minor beef with someone consider maybe going out for hot dogs and talking it out. Don't poison." I wonder if this is a callback to those airport hot dogs that gave Shane food poisoning....
*"Watcher entertainment does not approve of the professor's vaping habit and hopes that you'll keep in mind that he is a nasty little creep whose diet consists of spiders and possibly even dolphin meat"* -the disclaimer, in case anyone missed it
I think my favorite part of these besides the songs is when the guest leaves to get their prize and Ryan and the Professor just trash talk and threaten each other 😂
I’m sure no one was ever wrongly convicted in this investigation. I’m sure everyone was super truthful, and all of the confessions extracted by torture were totally legit.
Maybe instead of the jellybeans keeping the professor as a puppet, the genie cursed him to his current form and to trick others to gradually join his puppet army by eating the jellybean rewards from these videos. Since Ryan never wins, he could also be the genie overseeing the whole process.
I love this.... But I think we did see a glimpse of the genie in the Donner Party Ep, and it was.... definitely Shane. Which could spiral into a whole other theory or be changed, but. It's clear that Shane is NOT the professor in the Meta Story, but he could certainly play a role, and there is definitely an important reason why Ryan never wins.
It's so amazing that on the exact same month(July, 1659) Giulia Tofana, creator of the poison of Aqua Tofana, too, was executed in Italy for helping noble women poison their husbands to get out of abusive marriages (presumably).
we can see that garrick, despite turning into a puppet, was clearly still modeled after his human body. if the professor is actually turning into a puppet by repeatedly consuming jellybeans, this implies that his true form is a hyper realistic giant blue hairy monster, as you do.
History fact! The band Bastille is so named bc the lead singer, Dan Smith's birthday falls on Bastille Day, the french equivalent of Independence Day because it was the day the french people stormed the famous prison and a significant day in the french revolution
This is the first Puppet History video that I've watched, and I'm loving the idea that the puppet Professor teaches with his own puppets. Also, saw the video with Steven making his "slaughter water" cocktail before seeing this one, and it's just as satisfying getting the reference in reverse.
Given that Louis forbade their children from mourning Madame de Montespan, I don't think he was super stoked on the whole "ladyfriend trying to poison him" thing.
"Do you think Brinvillier had girl power?" "Yes, of course!" "Do you think she effectively utilized that girl power by poisoining her patients, family, and rivals?" "I don't know about that..."
Omgggg this episode is already ON FIRE! All the band names, “papa I want a jelly bean”, the cartoon villainy of all the poison schemes. C’est magnifique!
And the historical story is TRUE. Madame de Montspan was quite the character. She more or less FORCED Louis XIV into the relationship (he did fall madly in love with her, though, after he discovered that she was a TIGRESS in the sack) and kept him there for decades. She was beautiful, smart, funny, a total bitch, quite amoral at the beginning of their affair but pious and repenting towards the end of her extravagant life.
My first thought is to definitely do one about the public universal friend (who is now looked at as an early example of a non-binary person) or something oscar Wilde related because I feel like his life was kinda crazy. But I totally agree
I want to raise one of the many gay, bi & lesbian people of the Harlem Renaissance! The You're Dead To Me Podcasts about some of them were wild already, now imagine what Shane would do with that!
"Watcher Entertainment does not approve of the Professor's vaping habit and hopes that you'll keep in mind that he is a nasty little creep whose diet consists of spiders and possibly even dolphin meat." 😂😂

They only turn you into a puppet and it *possibly* wares off
he learned from the best:
"i'll die for a jelly bean" - ryan bergara, ep 1
can we appreciate how Shane syncs his laughs with the professor's mouth movements
I've watched how closely he times the movements to the dialogue. He's quite talented.
It’s called puppeteering and is kind of the entire point of a puppet show…
@@richardtherichard26 i think they mean that they appreciate he takes the time to puppeteer spur-of-the-moment, sudden unexpected laughter
We need an episode where the professor is "sick" so we have a shitty substitute. Then have shane as a guest. Then it will be the one time Ryan wins.
Keith Habersberger would be a great substitute.
I genuinely want this as an episode
the sub should absolutely be kate
I would love it
How is this not getting more likes?! This is a great idea
I like to think that Ryan is forced to take this course with the Professor so he can get his final credits to graduate from Puppet University and the Professor only has contempt for him
That scenario hits way to close to home omg 😂
Or he’s in some form of hell and cursed to be with Shane doing a stupid puppet show for all eternity
Oh my god I love this version

The idea that the Professor is just a human who keeps eating jellybeans is the in my personal opinion the most shocking reveal of the series yet.
fr and it happened in the first few minutes of the episode, i'm shooketh
it weirdly makes me uncomfortable
Hot Take: Ryan is the time traveling genie reincarnated who is torturing the professor by pissing him off in his college courses
I'm on board with this take 😂 this class is the professor's personal hell. He is doomed to teach ungrateful students for all eternity
Hold on you’re onto something
maybe the professor knows it and thats why he makes ryan lose all the time
last season professor backstory: he was cursed by a genie! how whimsical!
this season professor backstory: he lost his family horribly somehow and he represses the memory but maintains a lingering connection to them through the jellybeans
This tracks with the Professor being a Timelord.
The Professor lore continues to get more and more in-depth, and I'm living for it.
Maybe the son got turned into a puppet and died

After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly.
Actual Score: Ryan had 4 points and Garrick had 2. Another win for Ryan, he's been winning a lot of these latest ones.
Sooo..does this prove that the system is rigged against him?

I think we need to take a moment to appreciate that Shane got “Sierra Mist” and “blinker” into a song.
Why did nobody stop to appreciate the Professor's P play? "People peddling poisons and potions to the Parisienne public"? That deserves a chef's kiss.
can we not call it p play 😂
pp play 🥵
I literally paused it and commented to my dad that it was some awesome alliteration
Please never say p play again
P play sounds like something the Professor does in his private time.
It’s just so funny to me to imagine Shane squishing himself underneath this makeshift stage and screaming in character 😂

2) Has likely poisoned at least one member of his family
3) Was possibly a former human but can't get enough of those sweet, sweet cursed puppet-jellybeans
4) Vapes
and possibly eats dolphin meat

if the professor has mistresses, then they're either humans or other puppets, and frankly i don't know which one is worse

Nah, it's probably just a throwback to the hotdogga saga
Ryan & Shane also went for hot dogs in Tourist Trapped

It's clear that Shane is NOT the professor in the Meta Story, but he could certainly play a role, and there is definitely an important reason why Ryan never wins.
The Professor has also said he poops jelly beans, and guests are eating his poop....so is he eating his own bean poo?!
@@christabelle__ if all he eats is jelly beans and he "poops" jellybeans is it really poop
It's so amazing that on the exact same month(July, 1659) Giulia Tofana, creator of the poison of Aqua Tofana, too, was executed in Italy for helping noble women poison their husbands to get out of abusive marriages (presumably).
the professor is keeping all these mistresses and i’m not one of them ? a story of betrayal indeed
I know right!? Where do I send in my resume?
we can see that garrick, despite turning into a puppet, was clearly still modeled after his human body. if the professor is actually turning into a puppet by repeatedly consuming jellybeans, this implies that his true form is a hyper realistic giant blue hairy monster, as you do.
So, cookie monster
it could also be the more times you’re turned into a puppet the less realistic the puppet is.
Now I want him to be taken off his jellies and turn back into blue-bacca
He is the genie 🧞♂️
@@fluffyfluble429 holy shit!
Every time the song portion begins I am blown away by how talented Shane is
The chemistry between the professor, ryan, and garrick is awesome
The empty eyes of the Professor as he said "I don't know." Deep inside he knew what could have happened to his family but he can only remember fire.
“I can’t keep track of all these names” and then literally every woman in this story is named Marie
"Are you just a human that keeps eating jelly beans?" WAIT, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS PROFESSOR LORE--
I love a professor lore moment
Can I just say, Garrick is so damn handsome ;-;
Time to start a fanclub
@@mirhaik640 GARRICK FAN CLUB!!! VERY HANDSOME MAN
He's staring in a romance tv show and has a podcast called "Guilty pleasures" pretty sure he has more work out there right now.
@@A_T216 Sadly it hasn't aired yet. 🥺 They got the pilot approved tho so that's a win so far
@@Bisexualdragon4042 I hope the best for him, he's one of those people who you can tell are intelligent and nice.
"Papa I want a jelly bean" that voice had me dying of laughter
History fact! The band Bastille is so named bc the lead singer, Dan Smith's birthday falls on Bastille Day, the french equivalent of Independence Day because it was the day the french people stormed the famous prison and a significant day in the french revolution
Surprised that professor wasnt more mad about lack of history knowledge...rotten jellybean for Ryan!
Title: “The Affair of the Poisons”
My brain : ✨A Q U A T O F A N A✨
Shana sha shana sha shana sha sha shana shaaa
I actually thought the video is about the ✨aqua tofana✨
THAT'S LITERALLY ALL I COULD THINK OF TOO!!!
Yeeeeeees
Haha, here are the Bailey Sarian fans I was looking for!! We need the Professor to do an episode on ~A Q U A T O F A N A~ for sure!
"C-can I have a point?
...
...
...
"No."
I literally cried laughing.
How did the professor just casually say ' I'm a freak back here?'
What an icon🙌
He is Professor McNasty for a reason
@@Reggie_la 😂😂😂
“Marie” - the name of every French woman during this time
Or Louise
And some French men as well! For example, Lafayette's full name was Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette.
This is the first Puppet History video that I've watched, and I'm loving the idea that the puppet Professor teaches with his own puppets. Also, saw the video with Steven making his "slaughter water" cocktail before seeing this one, and it's just as satisfying getting the reference in reverse.
Me exactly too!!!!! I just watched the TMS yesterday and now I’m watching this!
This show is so funny, Shane is so talented.
The gaps in Ryan’s otherwise excellent knowledge are SO fascinating to me.
Remember when he thought hair grew through the skull 😂
@@hypotheticalforest HE WHAT
@Raisa I think it was in the Edgar Allen Poe true crime episode! but yes. He really thought that 😂
@@hypotheticalforest oh my God, he really is a himbo
@@hypotheticalforest that was SUCH a great moment. Shane was like “NOPE!”
"Too dark. Here's a puppy."
Thank you professor
Given that Louis forbade their children from mourning Madame de Montespan, I don't think he was super stoked on the whole "ladyfriend trying to poison him" thing.
I love the C-Dogs joke every time, please never stop
ALSO MY FAVE
Same
It’s weird how there was a bear question, and the professor didn’t mention Ryan’s irrational fear to bears
He did, though. 21:30 "Ryan, can you confirm to me your address is still-"
Meaning he intends to release bears in Ryan's place.
Death Chemist sounds like a RPG class, and Affair of the Poisons a title. Slaughter Water sounds like a skill or attack.
Blastoise used SLAUGHTER WATER. It's SUPER EFFECTIVE.
“Peddling potions and poisons to the Parisian public” Stephen Sondheim is quaking
I think it’s *peddling
@@kiiiwiiibird It is.
@@kiiiwiiibird lol thanks! Fixed it
Lin Manuel Miranda is WORRIED
The Professor: [pointing at Shane] I've never met this man in my life
“He could be walking down the street...”
I understood that reference
@@greatvalue_ethelcain “I wouldn’t know a thing...”
"Do you think Brinvillier had girl power?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Do you think she effectively utilized that girl power by poisoining her patients, family, and rivals?"
"I don't know about that..."
Strangled by the Dandy was a great debut album from Slaughter Water.
Lead Single: Death Chemist.
Omgggg this episode is already ON FIRE! All the band names, “papa I want a jelly bean”, the cartoon villainy of all the poison schemes. C’est magnifique!
And the historical story is TRUE. Madame de Montspan was quite the character. She more or less FORCED Louis XIV into the relationship (he did fall madly in love with her, though, after he discovered that she was a TIGRESS in the sack) and kept him there for decades. She was beautiful, smart, funny, a total bitch, quite amoral at the beginning of their affair but pious and repenting towards the end of her extravagant life.
Honestly this story would make a bomb Netflix show.
"C- can I have a point?"
Uncomfortable silence
"No."
The lore of puppet history builds...the professor might be a human abusing the immortal power of puppets
And he might have left a son behind 🤔
Do you every just look at the professors legs and think, 'Huh ... yeah, no ... he's got no pants'? It never fails to shock me 😂
Wee man is donald ducking it
I hope that when June rolls around, there will be some historical pride episodes, yknow? Lots of lovely history that you don’t hear much about
My first thought is to definitely do one about the public universal friend (who is now looked at as an early example of a non-binary person) or something oscar Wilde related because I feel like his life was kinda crazy. But I totally agree
I want to raise one of the many gay, bi & lesbian people of the Harlem Renaissance! The You're Dead To Me Podcasts about some of them were wild already, now imagine what Shane would do with that!
@@hydrogen3266 Even his last words were iconic “This wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. Either it goes or I do.”
