Boyle’s life really goes off the rails without Jake

"Why do all your characters have STD's Charles?" "Cuz they are living life"
Exactly my thoughts..🤣🤣
Damn it Boyle
I mean most sexually ative adult have or had HPV at some point in their lives.
Nine nine
So tell me why am I bleeding?
Snorky was a nickname that meant "well-dressed" at the time, it was a fine nickname. He didn't want to be called scarface because he was self conscious of his scars.
Source? I smell Snork!
'Scarface? Is it because of the scar? Wow, okay...'
What a cute nickname 😂
Makes sense. Scarface only sounds cool today because of the movie, otherwise if you take it literally it definitely sounds like an insult.
Just the way I like it..
Syphilis, it all started with a simple kiss, then Capone found it hard to piss.
And after awhile the stupidity was hard to miss.
But atleast he lived in bliss
I sang this in the tune of 'Yesterday' by the Beatles.
Yeah, I've had all kinds of sexual diseases too, only the curable kind funnily enough. And aids.
This comment works surprisingly well if sung in the style of the Sodomy song from Meet the Feebles
@@IFoundGodInEminem lmao it works so well
It wasn't because he was stupid that Capone didn't take penicillin. It was because they didn't have penicillin for public use until 1942.
A LOT of people had syphillis. It was basically more rampant than AIDS in the 80's.
There were still treatments for it
I mean, that's still 5 years before his death. It was discovered in 42 so I imagine a man as powerful as him could've gotten it if he really wanted it. He was just too stupid to realize he needed it.

I definitely thought the title was “Al Capone hid the fact that he was a mormon”. At the end of the video I thought, “where was the Mormon part?!?!?”. Who’s the moron now? (Me... the answer is me)
Moron!! Hahaha

At first, the prisoners at Alcatraz used to pick on him, but pretty quickly, some of the scarier more powerful prisoners put it out there that nobody should mess with him-not because he was Al Capone, but because it was like a 40-year old man picking on a dim-witted 8-year old. It was just too pitiful.
I can believe it.
Lies
syphilis infections can affect IQ, so it's hard to say that he's an idiot when he has an intelligence test years later showing it's below 100. 95 is within the range of average intelligence btw and it easily possible his basline IQ at a younger age was much higher.
Yep. They mention the swimming pool incident so I’m surprised that they assume that his baseline was 90 even though they tested him when syphilis had been eating away at his brain for years. When he died it was said that he had the mind of a 12 year old. Idk of any accounts of him being a moron when he was at the height of his power. A lot of assumptions were made in this telling.
Kent Contreras what’s funny is that the guy telling the story probably has an IQ lower than 90 judging by the way he speaks

I like how he prefaces Al Capone being dumb with a story of an elaborate tunnel system which seems kind of smart.
The guy has clearly only hear rumors. Didnt seem to know much at all.
Machine Gun Jack mcgurn owned the Green Mill. It was his crew that did all the heavy work that made Capone so successful. Capone didn't need a brain, he had Paul Ricca.
As a matter of fact it was his own guys in Chicago who had him put away because they were the ones who were doing all the thinking for the Chicago mob.
@@Scorch428 Yeah. He spent most of the story calling Capone names and making fun of his appearance and brain condition. 😒
Al Capone was clever...............and fed starving people during the depression.............but he did have full blown syphillis for years at the end so yeah.........it was literally eating his brain. No other way the feds got him on anything(he literally murdered people and plenty of people knew and still he was never convicted of anything other than tax evasion.

I’m a Psychologist. The IQ tests at the time we’re SHIT and incredibly inaccurate. He had a neurodegenerative disease, yes, but to claim that he had a 95 IQ based on an old ass test from around the time that they thought it was ok to essentially torture the mentally ill, is foolish. I am not condoning Capone, I am just pointing out that this is WRONG. Not to mention, IQ is not stagnant. I suggest someone attempt to take an early IQ test and tell me how you do. In a class of 30 students, one scored above mentally disabled, he picked random answers.
You don’t sound like a psychologist…
You're not a psychologist. You took a few low-level courses at community college. Clown.

Herbert Hoover was a president. J Edgar Hoover was in charge of the FBI

Didn’t Edgar Hoover come in later? If I remember my times correctly he is just referring to HH wanting Capone to be locked up? EH comes in during the 50s and 60s right? And this is like the 20s

@@leeoswald5643 Edgar began working for the justice department during World War 1. He became director of what later became the FBI in 1924.
Capone was a brilliant planner and organizer. He could delegate authority over his beer business quite effectively and knew how to streamline the business. He was running a billion dollar (todays money) empire when he was in his 20s and early thirties and it proved Capone was actually a far better business man than a criminal.
Well it isn't that hard to be a businessman when you can just break your competitors legs.
@@alexanderbrambila8274 It was far more sophisticated than just breaking legs as his competitors were also multi million dollar organizations local and National. Capone had set up everything from brewery quality control to beer truck repair. It wasn’t just a card game where you break your opponents legs it was a major business equivalent to billions of revenue in today’s money. If you’ve ever ready any of his interviews he was extremely sharp for his age

@2:53 The dog was like "Man...how much longer is this going to take? I really wanna get back to bed and chew on my toys..."
The redheaded nurse sold it with her facial expressions.
3:06 Al Capone was one of the first ever syphilis patients to be treated with penicillin. But yeah, he still had a chance because before that he could have been treated with salvarsan, which was developed in 1908 or by a malaria fever.
Saying an IQ of 90 makes him a moron is pretty dumb, while an IQ of 90 means slightly below average, he is still well within the normal IQ range and would be perfectly normal. While I realize it’s meant to be a comedy and historical accuracy isn’t that strict, it sends a bad message when your entire skit is based off a false premise.
Yeah, and it even sounded like the actual score was 95? In which case, that's def. not a big enough margin to call him anything except for "normal" or "average".
Even today's iq-tests (that are better than they were) are not that sensitive that they can give really valid reliable information about someone's abilities within the 95-110 or so range.
(When I studied this, our professor did say that kids tend to start predictably having trouble with certain school subjects somewhere in the 80-85 range.)
But it's kinda funny how such a large proportion of us tend to assume on some level that we're in the above-average group - even if just by a little bit. I'll admit that I do it too, even though objectively there is evidence from my life pointing in both directions. But like, come on, I studied psychometrics at a university at one point, I'm clearly on the smart side no?
Meanwhile I also JUST watched a joke video believing for a good two minutes that footage of a hippo's butt played backwards was footage of a giant anteater species. Filing that under "outliar fluke data, invalid due to sleep deprivation, let's never think about this again".
@@Suzanne4415 were you drunk when you wrote this comment?
Saying someone is a moron based on any IQ score is bad
Because IQ doesnt measure some innate intelligence
if such a concept even exists it certainly cant be measured
@@bad-orange10294 The term "moron" was originally applied to people with an IQ of 51-70, whereas an "imbecile" had an IQ of 26-50, and an "idiot" had an IQ of 0-25.
Wait this was supposed to be a comedy?
Snorky actually is a slang term for back in the day that actually basically means "Spiffy" or "Fancy".
This is still the single funniest one, to me.
"What is it?
- NOTHING!!!"
I made the mistake of first watching this at work one day. Fighting not to laugh out loud actually hurt.
Holy shit! That Judge is the facial hybrid of Paul Rudd and Bill Hader. My head hurt trying to figure out which one that was before I realized it wasn't either of them.
That was oscar level acting by Joe Lo Truglio.
When the psych nurse while looking at the notes on her clipboard said, " He's got a 95 IQ; he's not that smart. He's this big weird F+*&%*g MOOK" I lost it!!!
Will Sasso and Tommy Blacha together is absolute gold.
I thought he died in prison, guess you really do learn something every day.
I think you're the only person on these comments to spell "every day" correctly!
I also thought he'd died in prison
He was called Snorky before he ever became famous lol that's what they called him when he was just starting out lol
Eh... unfortunately 90 IQ is considered within the range of "normalcy;" 80 - 119.
It's changed since then, I believe.
Then again my IQ is like 12 so
Iq doesn't determine your intelligence
Ah, yes, yes. Indeed.
But can you tell me what's a phlogiston?
The nine nine should definitely get Boyle a babysitter for his off time
I see Charles Boyle, I click.
Crime doesn't pay unless you are a politician; he should have took the chance when he had it.
He and the other ruthless criminals in Chicago wanted nothing to do with politics or politicians other than owning them and telling them what to do.
Also, they knew that politicians are not trustworthy.

FYI; syphilis does does not cause urethral discharge, more likely gonorrhea
why not both?
@@Gwright9000 its possible, but he did not mention gonorrhea.
“I wanna be called Snorky.” Hahahahahaha gets me every time I watch this

Snorky? Like the Snorks television show where they lived on the ocean floor? LMAO
95 IQ is low for someone as successful as Capone, but it's just a little below average.
Yeah but 90% of ppl are morons. Being above average iq doesn't mean ur not a moron
@Erasmus the blasphemous Agreed, most people forget he took the damn fucking test after having beeing in prison for about 10+ years and having had Syphillis since he was in his... ufff, mid or late twenties?
So considering how late stage syphillis basicly turns your brain into mush one can only assume how smart he was in his young years. Also this video omits at the start how he HELPED building up the Gang as the head-honcho's right hand man and only taking over after the boss got cold feet after a few attempts on his life.
It was not as easy as to 'just roll in' into Chicago, but it was a question of wheter to expand the buisness and come into conflict with other gangs, or to back down and be happy with his piece of cake.
Ultimately it was a bold move and the first step that ultimately lead to the downfall of the whole thing. (as the exceeding gang violence lead to more innocents getting caught in the cross-fire and hence stoking public sentiment against Gangsters, especially after the Prohibition got lifted and alcohol started to flow legally again. )
Taylor .Koellish actually 100 IQ is average so your stats are off
@@HerveBoisde yeah... I'm aware 100 is average. I was making a joke saying even smart people are dumb. I also made up the 90% of ppl are morons "stat". It's probably closer to 100% of ppl are morons. And ur comment is kinda furthering my case
Most people cluster around 100 IQ and a small minority of people are literally morons or extreme geniuses.
Money... power.... people assume it takes a great deal of brains to attain these things. It doesn’t. It requires tenacity. And luck. Lots of luck. Single-mindedness definitely helps. A line from my favorite movie always comes to mind when thinking about so-called “great Americans”.

As someone who researched the mafia, Al Capone just coming to Chicago was incorrect, and his trial. He had it good until the judge switched the jury
In my hometown in Florida there used to be greyhound and horse racing tracks that Al Capone would go to when he was laying low from the cops in New York.
My parents landlady is very old and from a super wealthy and powerful local family, and she used to tell me how everyone at the races knew who Capone was and to avoid him so you could stay out of danger.
She said one time he started hitting on her and her older sister and they went along with it out of fear, but that it was probably the most scared she'd ever been in her life.
"He's gotta 95 IQ, he's not that smart, just this bug weird fuckin MOOK" 😂 idk why but that always kills me
Godammit I can't view Joe as a different characters he's too iconic to Charles Boyle
95 iq is not that dumb, it is slightly below average... Right?
Bram Ten haken
IQ is BS
But yeah its normalized so 100 is the average
Uhhh an IQ of 90 is quite average, within one standard deviation. 70% of humans have an IQ between 85 and 115.
iq was also lower then. they have to shift it every few years
Yes, BUT 75% of this comment section believe they are above average.
Drunk History is a show where people study about a person in history. Then they get drunk and tell a story about the person, so it's pretty understandable they mess up some information.
@@inuyasha13k But the part they messed up this time is the central part of the story, it's the title of the video! With an IQ of 95, and that was apparently his IQ, he was not a moron, just a normal guy who did stupid shit, and may or may not have gotten brain damage from syphilis.
What about 85-100
I never thought I would see Boyle like this😂
I love Will Sasso!

Lots of people take these "History" lessons way too seriously
To be fair, there are some episodes that are incredibly accurate. So much that history professors show their class those segments.
I love how Al Capone and Ronald Reagan both ended their lives doing moronic things in their pools.
Ronald Reagan still had his full mental capacity five years after he left office. Biden is running for president with half of his brain destroyed by Alzheimer's.
2:29 Why does his IQ keep jumping from 95 to 90 and back again?
Alcohol.
Are you gonna make me SYMPATHIZE with dat muthaf'er!?!
.....poor guy.
Y’know I feel really weird that when I first watched this video I had NO idea who Tommy Blancha was and was embarrassed it find out years after the fact that he co-created Metalocalypse and the voice of Murderface, Toki, and Dr. Rockzo among others. Which then put the image in my head of Murderface and/or Toki doing an episode for the Metalocalypse universe’s version of the show that goes off the rails absurdly quickly
This sounds so much like our 45th president xD
Syphilis was also known as great imitator so in an untrained eye, they might pass it off as a seasonal flu.
I bet you wouldn't have called him dumb to his face haha!
I’m a little sad they didn’t talk about his time in Alcatraz or Eastern State Penitentiary.
Al Capone's legal front was selling furniture, his business card said he was a furniture salesman.
Considering how much money he had, he was the most successful furniture salesman in the history of the country
He was honestly really smart, he just never went to the doctor for his syphilis cause he was embarrassed so it destroyed his brain
He died of ego?!
Me: *makes a pool in Minecraft*
Also me: *fishing in my pool*

Edgar Allen Poe Died of syphilis too, and he "somehow" created some of the best poetry in modern literature
Edgar Allen Poe was most likely beaten to death. They believe he was a victim of "cooping" which was when hoolums rounded up voters by beating them into voting for who they wanted. There are several other brain disorders he could have died from. Cholera, Rabies, and meningitis among others.
“Sometimes you have to act like a fool to fool the person who is trying to fool you” - Al Capone
It's almost like they're talking about Donald Trump.
NoneOfTheAbove It’s bad that I like Al Capone more than Trump lol.
Penicillin wasn't first used until 1942, 11 years after Capone was convicted. It wasn't really an option. The usual treatment for syphilis before that involved mercury, arsenic, and other things. All of them were of questionable efficacy and they all had tons of nasty side effects such as brain damage and infertility.
He actually did get treated with penicillin in 1942 (five years before he died) but his syphilis was too far advanced and the damage was done.
I’m only liking this video because of Will Sasso
The dog looks really traumatized during the syphilis bit
Capone wasn't as dumb as he was portrayed here. Little known fact, before All Capone was recruited by the Chicago mob, he was an accountant in Baltimore and trying to just be a legit family man. Johnny Torrio was asked by All to be his son's godfather, and it was at Sonny, Al's sons baptism that All was asked to come join them in Chicago.
She is the wind beneath my wings 😆
