Thanks for watching everyone! Hope you liked this episode! (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ To those asking, from what I could find in my research the “Jack the Giant Killer” story isn’t connected to Jack and the Beanstalk like the fables we cover today are. However, they DO feature the same characters in their archetypal roles. “Jack” is the name of many young, male protagonists in many English fairy tales who also share similar character traits. Gogmagog is also used as the name of many giant characters. I’ll explain this in more detail in the episode where I break down Jack the Giant Killer!
TBH This is one that I never heard the whole story. I knew about the beans being thrown out the window. The stalk growing. Jack climbed it. He came back down followed by the giant. The stalk got chopped down, and the giant falling. Maybe I didn't remember the rest? I guess it held no interest for me
I think the man eating giant in the clouds represents God and the deception involving beans is for you to learn through loss. Sure, you traded a far more valuable cow to get them, but if your suffering malnourished brain can make it back to Earth with some of that philosophical treasure, you could start a cult of some sort and learn to conduct profitable business. Of course you chop down the beanstalk so the giant can't reach earth. Having God follow you back down to Earth would likely result in some world ending apocalypse.
When I was a teen it was a way you'd troll everyone by suggesting you were sleeping with someone but actually mean you're sleeping with someone (in the same bed, that is).
@@bradleyweiss1089 I'm 30. And _STILL_ sleep at the foot of my parents' bed sometimes whenever I go home to visit them. *I'm also an only child with no children,* just a split level townhouse, a dog & a boyfriend -which I walk & feed BOTH twice a day! My folks are in their late 60's, & I don't see them often. So the older they get, Ima cherish each moment I can. Lord knows I put them thru plenty hell from middle school thru college! Lol. It's not weird as it sounds tho. Plus their bed's HUGE, & they can kick me out if they want...
A couple of interesting notes to this origin. The surname of the first Jake story is Spriggan, and Spriggans are Fairy sprites from Cornwall. So the original story may have more to do with the stories of Fairies that proliferated in the earlier days of what was to become the British Isles, than at first appears. Secondly, Gogmagog is the legendary giant of Albion, who was defeated by Corineus, who was granted land for this feat, which became Cornwall. So, Cornwall twice for origin place. Lastly, and doubtfully coincidental, Gog and Magog were the demon spirits that King Solomon defeated to secure the safety of his peoples and kingdom. So the original tale of Jack and the Beanstalk may be so strange because it may have a lot more allegories in it, and you could think of it more along the lines of one of Dante's stories, than just a strange, old piece of fiction.
@@JonSolo oh yes I have always enjoy these stories of old lol, but pretty soon here your going to need to find more weird fairy tales from other countries well the besides the ones you have already done. Oh and BTW nice shirt.
Actually, back when Jack Spiggins was written, central heating wasn't a thing. So it wasn't unusual for family members to share beds to stay warm during cold winter nights. Most likely Granny telling Jack about him being "a good bedfellow" means that he's not hogging the sheets, performing Dutch Ovens or snoring. Granted, some shenanigans might've been going on but most likely it was just them sharing a bed to stay warm.
And with large families there just wasnt room. My next sister down and I shared a bed when we were little. Even in the late 1980s when I was a student in Manchester (UK) i met neighbours living in a 2 room flat with 5 children. When my flat mate and I moved we gave them the 2 ex army beds we had bought for our bedsit. The wife was in tears of happiness. The whole family had been sleeping in 1 double bed.
"Fe, foe, Fan I smell the Blood of an Englishman." Even though I have English heritage, deep DEEP DOWN the Scottish side of me is laughing his head off. So cool learning the Origins of that classic line. Makes the story even better. Thanks for all you do. Keep it up.
Should make you laugh yeah, cos the idea of 'english blood' (also scottish blood) is just neo-nazi BS pseudoscience. Both are just cultural identities.
Could you please do a series on mythological creatures and beings like gnomes, gouls, ghost, vampires, ogers, trolls, elves, etc. I would love to see how theese play in to our folklore and folktales
Supposedly, the giants came to exist because (according to the Bible) angels came down to Earth to mate with humans. They're called Nephilim. It's written in the books of Enoch and Ezequiel.
No need to feel weird. Bed Fellow's were a thing back in the day in england especially during the middle ages amongst higher royalities. Castles are drafty and humans are warm. The lower class did it to because they usually lived in stone thatched huts that were extremely drafty. We get "huddle together" for warmth out of this. Surprised you didn't mention that :O
Yeah, this whole story is chock-full of sexual metaphors. I'm shocked Jon didn't point them out. The "bedfellows" thing wasn't an accident, that was them trying to be SUBTLE. When the giant's wife hides him in her oven, in her skirts, or in her kettle/cauldron, those were all sexual metaphors. When the giant smells English blood he isn't really smelling BLOOD, he's smelling sex in the room and ready murder the intruder for it.
5:16 - It seems to me she could have just kept her mouth shut about the bean in the first place! 9:48 - OMG, I had no idea there was so much weirdness in the original Jack and the Beanstalk! I'm glad the last version gives Jack justification for stealing from the giant and eventually killing him. Too many versions seem to assume that just because the victim was a giant that makes it okay. (of course, being a man-eater helps.)
My first run in with the Jack and the Beanstalk story was a VHS tape with Abbott and Costello. It was a combination of various versions including these incorporated into a single story. Actually still my favorite version.

@@wyslanniknewworldorder9525 I heard about that movie and it be cool if Red Riding Hood got more movie adaptations and a Disney adaptation of it especially if it has a Werewolf or a Pack of Werewolves and maybe have Red as one of them
@Taylor Edwards It's pretty straight forward. Most adaptations take out the really messed up stuff in the book like the Wicked Witch of the West sent wolves, crows, bees, and eventually the Winged Monkeys to kill Dorothy and her friends and the Wicked Witch of the East wasn't her sister nor did the Wicked Witch of the West didn't try to avenge the East Witch's death. She wanted the silver shoes when she saw them on Dorothy's feet after the Winged Monkeys couldn't kill Dorothy. And the Wicked Witch of the East cursed the Tin Woodsman's axe to chop off parts of his body until he was entirely made of tin. And a part the Tin Woodsman had to kill a bobcat to save the queen of field mice and the Cowardly Lion had to kill a monster to save the animals in the forest and become their king. It also gave us a back story about the Winged Monkeys where they were just causing pranks until they did one on a prince and his fiancee decided to tie their wings together and drown them in a river until they plead for her to spare them mercy while they were drowning and she did, by enchanting them to be slaves to a golden cap and whoever wore it.
I loved the story but man when Abby Lee Miller popped up. I had to pause and laugh my lungs out. I still am wondering why I laughed hysterically seeing her.
Awesome job! Regarding the last version you told, I remember an episode of Shelly Duvall's faery tale theatre of this where there is a mysterious person Jack encounters on the beanstalk who makes subtle references to Jack's father, who was killed by a giant.
I liked the last version the best, giving Jack info on his dad and talking more about his adventures on the stalk and with the giant. That other version with the ladies and the bar was just a drug trip lol :)
Man love your vids . Just wish that some of you RUclipsrs would cut it out with the extra long introductions but hey I do appreciate how thorough you are Explaining and rebutting one-sided views very good job mate
I was always interested in the King Arthur tales as my name is Arthur. I just wondered where the idea of pulling a sword out of a stone came from It's steel in stone. The only psychological idea might be the act of delivering a baby, taking it out of it's original state and into freedom. Wonder if that would make a good video. Keep up the good work. You're the only one who puts alot of time into his work.
I've heard a number of theories. From memory, a few of the more interesting ones: 1) a memory of ancient Sarmatian religous practices (They used a sword stuck in the ground as an altar to their war god) 2) a reference/metaphors for smelting iron from ore and forging a sword. 3) "stone" was a mistranslation of "saxon". (I.e. Arthur became king by defeating and disarming the Saxons).
I really enjoyed this episode. It was so much fun learning where the Jack and the Beanstalk story came from - thank you for covering it! Also, can you please look at Moana?
Like many ancient stories, this one is multi-layered, and at the psychological level we can see elements of the Oedipal myth. This is evident in multiple versions referring to the dubious relationship to his mother, who at one point is his “enchantress” granny who lays with him. At night his “beans” sprout into a stalk that grows and grows and grows. Later he slays his father/king of the castle and inherits his wealth. This is as Oedipal as it gets.😅
I wish I could think of something clever to say - but I am outclassed on this channel. How about I am suffering from story collision? "I'm having an accident! My stories are colliding!"
Jack was always getting into trouble though. Jumping over candlesticks, breaking his crown rolling down the hill etc. The beanstalk wasnt his first rodeo
In Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's version (Into the Woods, a Broadway musical), the giant's wife comes down to seek revenge. A moral dilemma ensues and the other characters debate as whether to hand Jack over to her or to protect him.
You deserve so much more love 💖 . You have a great speaking voice, your very articulate, funny, not bad on the eyes either 😂 and last but not least I can tell you put a lot of work into the the video from research to editing n camera quality .
"Fee, Fye, Foe, Fumm, ask not whence the thunder comes, ask not where the herds have gone or why the birds have ceased their song, when coming home don't take to long, for monsters roam in Albion".
Random fun fact, there was going to be a Disney movie based off Jack and the beanstalk but it got canceled. It may be in development again tho. I didn't do much research
I know the version where he steals all 3. But he gets greedy and cuts the goose open because he doesn't want to wait for the eggs and thinks theres some more inside.
Oh wow. I dig the wacked out version, simply for the fact that I'd never heard of it,lol ! the last version is my favorite, if only for the fact that that's the one I grew up with as a child 😊 keep up the fantastic work & I'm looking forward to the next messed up orgin & mythology tale!
Thank you for the great Content. I wonder where the Jack Tales come in? They are Appalachian in nature I believe. Glad to watch the almost weekly content. Your writing is so good, I love the scacasim.
Renamon 565 I may be wrong but hangman was a true game played by soldiers. It’s been a while since I heard the story, but these soldiers would challenge their prisoners into spelling words. Most if not all the prisoners couldn’t spell. So, they all ended up being hanged. Then again, I might be wrong.
Okay now the LAST version would actually make for a good "surprise villain" retelling of a fairytale w/ the fairy being the real villain, as she merely talked to the boy to convince him that the giant killed his father yet threatened to destroy both the kid and mother if he didn't go follow through her orders. Suspicious...

I freaking love you man this video made my day
Fun fact most farmers in cartoons are usually chewing on a stalk of barley. I take it as a cute little hint to Demeter.
In Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's version (Into the Woods, a Broadway musical), the giant's wife comes down to seek revenge. A moral dilemma ensues and the other characters debate as whether to hand Jack over to her or to protect him.
I always thought that Jack lived in the medieval time period, the first part of the pic makes him look like Edmun from the Chronicles of Narnia.
That 1st printed story sounds so interesting, I wanna read it.
You deserve so much more love 💖 . You have a great speaking voice, your very articulate, funny, not bad on the eyes either 😂 and last but not least I can tell you put a lot of work into the the video from research to editing n camera quality .

If he's not reading this stuff, his memory and skill in narrative is amazing
"Fee, Fye, Foe, Fumm, ask not whence the thunder comes, ask not where the herds have gone or why the birds have ceased their song, when coming home don't take to long, for monsters roam in Albion".
I love the origins of the disney films
Random fun fact, there was going to be a Disney movie based off Jack and the beanstalk but it got canceled. It may be in development again tho. I didn't do much research

That sucks I would love to see a Disney movie adaptation of the story.
Jake from the beanstalk is also the jack from the hill with Jill....I BET YOU NEVER KNEW THAT... LOL
I know the version where he steals all 3. But he gets greedy and cuts the goose open because he doesn't want to wait for the eggs and thinks theres some more inside.
Oh wow. I dig the wacked out version, simply for the fact that I'd never heard of it,lol ! the last version is my favorite, if only for the fact that that's the one I grew up with as a child 😊 keep up the fantastic work & I'm looking forward to the next messed up orgin & mythology tale!
OMG! I love that accent you did when talking about Jack and The Beanstalk, it sounded like an Italian guy like Joe Pesci.
Why don't you already have 1,000,00 subs? 💜
17:15 "...he and his mom lived happily ever after..." with a huge rotting Giant carcass in their front yard...
Thank you for the great Content. I wonder where the Jack Tales come in? They are Appalachian in nature I believe. Glad to watch the almost weekly content. Your writing is so good, I love the scacasim.
Nathan Bugg The Jack Tales came from England, as did the people of Appalachia.
There were three fractured fairy tales (which had been a part of “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show”) based on this story.
"Pretty young thangs" 😂 that makes me laugh so much
The Tabbert(sp?) one seems the most epic, and feels the most definitive.
"A good bed fellow"
Fbi open up
I already know about the origins of this. I am curious about the origins of the game hangman though
Renamon 565 I may be wrong but hangman was a true game played by soldiers. It’s been a while since I heard the story, but these soldiers would challenge their prisoners into spelling words. Most if not all the prisoners couldn’t spell. So, they all ended up being hanged. Then again, I might be wrong.
@@pomegranate-dreams and hangman is a children's game..... Why
Okay now the LAST version would actually make for a good "surprise villain" retelling of a fairytale w/ the fairy being the real villain, as she merely talked to the boy to convince him that the giant killed his father yet threatened to destroy both the kid and mother if he didn't go follow through her orders. Suspicious...
Thank goodness I found this channel. Was bored watching the same things on RUclips during the lockdown period.
