I keep coming back to watch that part specifically. I wonder how many takes they had to do in order for the judge actor to say those lines without cracking up.
Nickel Odeon is a reference to being able to experience the pleasures of the classic Parisian theatre, the Odeon (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Od%C3%A9on-Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_de_l%27Europe ) for the not-insignificant toll of one nickel.
Yesss YES i was looking for this comment. Louis le Prince -, invents the first ever camera and disappears suddenly while trying to get a patent for his invention. Shortly after Edison 'independently' creates the same invention and patents it. How... coincidental
that congratulations demon pic is my current screen saver. Lol. and for being drunk this guy is insanely concise and coherent. Hadn't heard of him before but I'm officially a huge Duncan Tressel fan as of now. The dude is hilarious and super smart. great combination
Eh hows that goon for ya now? Lol I was the same way, but the more i listened to him the more i realized he’s just some LSD’d out hippie that thinks he’s WAY smarter than he actually is
Woah, woah, woah. Can't we all just agree we're all horrible? Like seriously the spawn of a mealy-mouthed crotchpheasant squaloring insults in our virtual bank of renown? Be like Tesla. Talk to birds. Love birds. Desire marriage with your bird. And build a fuckin' Schrodinger-ian Deathray.
***** You value yourself!That's great! I am blessed to have been given the ability to speak for myself. Your consent was duly requested, in which you provided! It's a bit cold here, but the day has been nice. Really, my purpose was to deescalate the temporary tension (here specifically) over politics. Alas, it was for naught.
"Instead of suing people, you work with them: And then the end result of that is that the entire planet wakes up, We experience what's called The Singularity, Everybody gets dissolved by nano bots, And we're travelled through the universe as infinite beings of love."
Reminds of all the film classes I took in college. My teacher always begins his lessons on the first day of class talking about that demon Thomas Edison and how all the credit should go to Muybridge.
This was EPIC fun!! And Doctor Spaceman totally delivered on Edison, complete commitment to memorise the drunken ramblngs. I'd watch an entire movie with him as Edison as told by Drussel! :'D
*"you greedy reptilian shitbag"* Lost it right there so bad. Loved this guy from the moth thing at the beginning and till the end he did not disappoint.
i love this guy duncan - experience the singularity and travel through the universe as infinite beings of love. awesome commentary. talking my language here. seriously love this guy.
Ha! I lived in Edison, NJ (originally named Menlo Park) for a summer a couple years ago. Shitty town, but luckily i was in the company of my cat. His name is Nikola.
haha. There's a couple steps to get there. Once mind-uploading & downloading is possible and organs can be regenerated thus effectively reversing aging we'll be on our way.
Im sooo glad , wer hearing more and more lately about who Thomas Edison , really was and I loveeee the way this guest describing him bc is just so real .
0:18 I thought I was the only one who thought like this. Nice to know that I'm not the only one so self-aware that he doesn't kill insects in his house.
Maddy Gowers I was literally about to comment this.. But officially I think Edison got a patent before Le Prince could so unfortunately no one knows about him 🤷♀️
@@Bgar422 invents the first ever camera and disappears suddenly while trying to get a patent for his invention. Shortly after Edison 'independently' creates the same invention and patents it... coincidental
"He would get poor geniuses, gather them together, and he's like 'just make stuff for me and if it's good I'm gonna say it's mine. Whatever, you're gonna make money so just do it.'" Huh, sounds like Steve Jobs' idol.
Imagine you’re one of his engineers. Edison gave you the tools to actually discover and develop things. Things that you wouldn’t be able to do on your own. So Edison has already paid for the R&D to begin with. He hires you to do R&D and you invent something using his tools, in his lab, with his money. Was it on your own time? No. What’s more, the thing you’re so busy inventing? There are a dozen other guys in the lab working on the same thing. There are hundreds, probably thousands of other people globally trying to do the same thing. You’re in a race. Edison is the coach/manager/sponsor. If you call in sick, someone will probably beat you to it. You’re not a revolutionary genius. The time for that invention has simply come. The demand is there. The technology is already there. And now you’re thinking, “My invention!” ??? No. Just like Chicken McNuggets was invented by “McDonald’s”, your product will bear the name “Edison Labs”. Your reward? A paying job. Welcome to life. Now grow up.
“And the end result of that is the entire planet wakes up, we experience what’s called the singularity. Everybody gets dissolved by nanobots, then we travel through the universe as infinite beings of love” What an absolutely epic way to end and episode.
I was re watching this episode, cause it's very good, and I was going "huh, where else have I heard Duncan's voice before" and then I go, HOLY SHIT, THE MIDNIGHT GOSPEL
To everyone continuously parroting the 2012 The Oatmeal narrative that Tesla was the Übermensch and Edison some kind of demon, I recommend the Forbes article 'Nikola Tesla Wasn't God and Thomas Edison Wasn't the Devil'. Sets the record straight.
These are the greatest history lessons I've ever had. Hopefully they're semi accurate because my brain retains these much better than in a classroom lol.
"You greedy, reptilian shitbag" is my new favourite insult.
Unfortunately comes from a covert antisemitic dogwhistle meme out of the alt right
I prefer saying that someone is so full of themselves that they use tongue when they kiss their own ass.
i concurr.....that is legit good insult
Me I like congratulations demon.
@@bwaybitch863 Are you sure it wasn't a product of Icke watching "V" one too many times?
"Congratulations, Demon." I CRIED!!! JUST THE WAY HE SAID IT!!! The whole last part with the judge was so funny XD
I keep coming back to watch that part specifically. I wonder how many takes they had to do in order for the judge actor to say those lines without cracking up.
LOL IK!!!!
same lol, btw the judge is dr drew
@@SiyabongaAfrica seeing how its dr drew he probably didnt smile or crack up once
The judge part was my favorite!!!
"everybody gets dissolved by nano-bots and we all travel through the universe as infinite beings of love"
That's a future I could live with
+Broken Letterbox too bad we can't just live on our own planet as beings of love....
Cue End of Evangelion...
Or y'know orange tang?
You can’t *stay alive* if you’re dissolved! You need your body parts *together*!!!
He was talking about the Singularity.
Well damn i finally learned where the term nickelodean came from
Not really.
Trueee
Nickel Odeon is a reference to being able to experience the pleasures of the classic Parisian theatre, the Odeon (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Od%C3%A9on-Th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre_de_l%27Europe ) for the not-insignificant toll of one nickel.
🍿
Blew my fucking mind
So Edison monopolizing on cinematography ended up creating Hollywood and three of their biggest giants. Ironic indeed
+Kriemhild Schwarzwald (Mitenmujin) haha good one. One monopoly led to another.
It's funny because I attend a technical school named after Edison.
With a comment like that you either don't understand what a monopoly is or you don't know what ironic means.
Humble beginnings
The same Hollywood which vilifies him LOL.
This dude is the best drunk storyteller... I crack up every time I see him... hahaha...
What other ones is he in?
Check out his podcast! Duncan Trussel Family Hour
He got a show on Netflix.
@@drowsy_rich the Edgar Allen Poe one also
The Midnight Gospel, dude
Meanwhile in Europe, the man who actually invented the motion picture camera mysteriously disappeared while supposedly riding on a train.
Yesss YES i was looking for this comment. Louis le Prince -, invents the first ever camera and disappears suddenly while trying to get a patent for his invention. Shortly after Edison 'independently' creates the same invention and patents it. How... coincidental
@@josephbrennan9712 yaaas me too!! they should make a drunk history video about that!! D':
Exactly what I was thinking while I watched this.
Who invented the tinfoil hat?
Hello, we're the u.s. of a. follow me to the back of the train..... 🤔🙊🙉🙈
that congratulations demon pic is my current screen saver. Lol. and for being drunk this guy is insanely concise and coherent. Hadn't heard of him before but I'm officially a huge Duncan Tressel fan as of now. The dude is hilarious and super smart. great combination
His podcast is one of the best things ever. Plus of he ever comes yo your town for a stand up routine....fucking go. He's brilliant.
Eh hows that goon for ya now? Lol
I was the same way, but the more i listened to him the more i realized he’s just some LSD’d out hippie that thinks he’s WAY smarter than he actually is
@@brandonvacchio7614
Lmao. I pretty much stopped here. Don't wanna ruin the image I have in my head of him. Lmao 🤣
Thomas Edison was a genius... at stealing other people's ideas and crushing other people's dreams.
Just like Disney.
+Monster Factory Tesla was the maaaaaan.
Shut yours, leftist
Woah, woah, woah. Can't we all just agree we're all horrible? Like seriously the spawn of a mealy-mouthed crotchpheasant squaloring insults in our virtual bank of renown?
Be like Tesla. Talk to birds. Love birds. Desire marriage with your bird.
And build a fuckin' Schrodinger-ian Deathray.
***** You value yourself!That's great!
I am blessed to have been given the ability to speak for myself. Your consent was duly requested, in which you provided!
It's a bit cold here, but the day has been nice.
Really, my purpose was to deescalate the temporary tension (here specifically) over politics. Alas, it was for naught.
This is possibly the best drunk history I've seen yet.
“Wow I had no idea I invented that”- Thomas Edison
My favorite reenactment by far. Chris Parnell is freaking great!
"If we let you have your way, then people would be looking at cats boxing until the planet blew up!" XD
What’s funny is considering RUclips content, we’ve just gone right back to that.
“You’re gonna Rot everyone’s brains watching cat boxing movies”
2020: hey check out THIS video of two cats wearing boxing gloves fighting eachother
"You're super rich and I just wanna make art" lol love itttt
More than a century later, we’re back to everybody watching cats boxing all the time. The wonders of the Internet.
"Instead of suing people, you work with them: And then the end result of that is that the entire planet wakes up, We experience what's called The Singularity, Everybody gets dissolved by nano bots, And we're travelled through the universe as infinite beings of love."
Reminiscent of The Midnight Gospel ❤
This is a Bill Hicks paraphrasal
I mean....what else could we possibly dream of for ourselves? It’s the little things.
Actually, the first motion picture camera was invented by Louie de la Prince. Thomas Edison stole his idea.
He stole most of the ideas he is famous for
He also stole the light bulb.
What a greedy reptilian shitbag
Didn't you watch the freakin video?
MauiWowieOwie he didn’t steal anything. Improving the lightbulb is not stealing the lightbulb. He had the patent for the improved lightbulb,
“Because they deserve to live.” Duncan expressed seriously!
even drunk, he makes fucking sense 🎩
Reminds of all the film classes I took in college. My teacher always begins his lessons on the first day of class talking about that demon Thomas Edison and how all the credit should go to Muybridge.

:'D
+MariaVosa Agreed the actor is amazing his reactions and lip moving to the words of the other guy hilarious!!
*"You greedy reptilian shitbag. ... Congratulations, demon"*
Why does that never get old? Lol
"Congratulations Demon." hahahaha
This is my favorite person they've ever filmed for this show. He did this one and a Tesla one, both are genius.
*"you greedy reptilian shitbag"*
Lost it right there so bad.
Loved this guy from the moth thing at the beginning and till the end he did not disappoint.
i love this guy duncan - experience the singularity and travel through the universe as infinite beings of love. awesome commentary. talking my language here. seriously love this guy.
Duncan needs to be in more episodes. He is hands down the best storyteller ever and he always knows what he's talking about.
It’s so funny watching this after Midnight Gospel, like in the ending he’s describing the future and it’s just his show lmaoo
Inventor : I made this.
Edison : You made this?
..
Edison : I made this.
Nickel Odeon
I just got it
This was one of the best Drunk Histories ever.
It's great to see Chris Parnell and Michael McKean in anything 😎
This must be one the best episodes of Drunk History ever...Duncan’s version just kept me chuckling from beginning to end. 😸😹😺
"And Edison is like, 'Uh, no! NO! I'm sorry, what are you doing?'"
I chuckled at that part. :P
This has to be my favorite Drink history.
Congratulations, you demon.
The scary thing is that he made perfect sense at the end.
Ha! I lived in Edison, NJ (originally named Menlo Park) for a summer a couple years ago. Shitty town, but luckily i was in the company of my cat. His name is Nikola.
Moist Gnome your personality “sucks”
As in Tesla?! I love you and your cat so much
Sweet irony
Edison would pay boys a nickel each for their pets and use Tesla's alternating current to electrocute them.
I still hear everything in Chris Parnell's voice...
I like this guy, his stance on moths, same.
Duncan is my favorite drunk historian!
I love how Dr. Drew got the best line. 🤣
That last sentence was just like “yep, yeah, yea - um.... okay that’s definitely DMT”
All hail the singularity, to infinite beings of love! Conquer time and space. That story teller is awesome.
Yay Truncan Drussel!
+ulfragnarsson He totally went full Duncan this time too haha
I wish I knew what he sounded like to people that don't know duncan
+Daniel 1 A psychic, this man. Exactly. Less raspy, but still that TJ Miller sound.
Druncan Tussell
Duncan Trussel's story on Tesla is what drew me to Drunk History in the first place. So glad he followed up with Edison!
that nanobot shit is real though. that's pretty dope that he tacked that on the end there.
haha. There's a couple steps to get there. Once mind-uploading & downloading is possible and organs can be regenerated thus effectively reversing aging we'll be on our way.
This is the best Drunk History I've seen so far.
"We travel through the universe as Infinite beings of love". I want a summer home inside this guy's mind,
The ending about infinite beings of love... Amazing!
I love this narrator
I love this series. And Duncan is a living legend. Awesome clip!
The ending conclusion was the most epic thing ever.
Im sooo glad , wer hearing more and more lately about who Thomas Edison , really was and I loveeee the way this guest describing him bc is just so real .
Was that dr. Drew?
Brooke Leigh I think so.
Im so glad that we get truthful history when people are drunk LMAO. I love it. Truth
Crazy to think if Edison had just been cool, “Hollywood” might’ve been in Jersey.
"Congratulations, Demon" LOL
Thomas edison: Congratulations demon! 💕
This is Spinal Tap! 🤣
Everyone gets dissolved by nano bots and then we travel through the universe as infinite beings of love haha yes
Omg. Used to watch these guys on Funny Or Die. They've come so far ❤
0:18 I thought I was the only one who thought like this. Nice to know that I'm not the only one so self-aware that he doesn't kill insects in his house.
By far one of my favorite episode....
Don't sleep on my man George Melies he made one of the first legit movies that had a plot
Or les freres lumieres who basically invented special effects
Dr. Drew!!! What what what?!? The ending IS gold!!
this guy sounds like tj miller
sure does
Holy shit I was trying to remember who his voice reminded me of and thats it
This guy is def the less douchey version of him
This is my very favorite Drunk History episode! Very well done!
I want to be an infinite being of love 😂
Dr. Drew as the judge! Perfect!!
I thought Louis Le Prince invented the movie camera?? I’m so confused??
Maddy Gowers I was literally about to comment this.. But officially I think Edison got a patent before Le Prince could so unfortunately no one knows about him 🤷♀️
@@Bgar422 invents the first ever camera and disappears suddenly while trying to get a patent for his invention. Shortly after Edison 'independently' creates the same invention and patents it... coincidental
He did!
Well he disappeared mysteriously on the train and so did his patent papers sooo..... (TWAS MURDER)
Duncan Trussell seems like he would be so fun to hang out with, lol. ❤️
that last part was some Evangelion shit
that last sentence is truly beautiful.
"He would get poor geniuses, gather them together, and he's like 'just make stuff for me and if it's good I'm gonna say it's mine. Whatever, you're gonna make money so just do it.'"

6:01
I love this part so much
4:32 did NOT age well
He’s so articulated with the roasts 😂
I'm so happy that he mentioned that Edison was a thief.
Damn you’re cute
that first 30 seconds was perfect
I love how we still learn about this fraud in school as if he is some technological god.
Drunk History:"everybody gets dissolved by nano-bots and we all travel through the universe as infinite beings of love"
Ohh that's where Nickelodeon came from
*Nick Nick Nick Nick Na Nic Nic Nic Nic Nickekooddeoon*
I love this guy, he is a kindred spirit
Edison legit assasinated the guy who invented the movie camera, Louis le Prince.
This one's my favorite
What about Louis Le Prince? (look it up)
OMG. I love this one! Duncan is hilarious. I enjoy him on Rogan too.
Louis Le Prince invented the motion picture first.
Duncan always has the same message in the end of anything haha
steve jobs=the 21st century thomas edison.
"Congratulations, demon." is my new catchphrase.
That Elon quote did not age well
Was about to just write that.
Thank you for this month old comment, comrade.
“And the end result of that is the entire planet wakes up, we experience what’s called the singularity. Everybody gets dissolved by nanobots, then we travel through the universe as infinite beings of love” What an absolutely epic way to end and episode.
