My grandfather insisted on never being seen in public with an alcoholic beverage because his father (who was around for Prohibition) taught him to NEVER, EVER, be seen with alcohol. It’s created some pretty funny scenarios over the years, especially around the holidays and family gatherings.

@@ayeeyee9634 My other grandfather (mother’s father) was a pretty heavy drinker, so when he wanted drinks at my parents wedding my grandfather (one I was referencing earlier) was designated as the one to pick them up.

He got caught and had to explain himself, since doing shit like that is kinda weird. So that’s the day my mom found out about his “problem” with alcohol.
For the part about doctors prescribing alcohol, my grandfather was prescribed beer as a blood thinner. So even in the nursing home, they would bring him a beer every day off the medicine cart.
I feel like there needs to be more "Oversimplified" type of videos for other subjects (like chemistry, biology, math, ect), it's such an effective tool to use for teaching that gets people interested in learning.
If you think you're knowledgeable by Watching these types of videos,well you're wrong. It teaches us the surface of things and not the depth that it needs, and that depth can only come by reading book, and devoting time, if you have that interest only then can you call yourself as "interested in history"etc...
@@Akshit.vats. But people who aren't interested in history are not going to devote time to it or read books on it. These types of videos can grab the attention of people who maybe weren't interested in learning history before. It can also be a learning tool for people who find learning through books a bit jarring.
@@Akshit.vats. that view is unfortunately short sighted. An entertaining entrance is key to inspire or reinspire the most important type of learning. Learning to Love to Learn in the first place. School systems can actually be successful if they have a darn about that first, especially when pupils are young
@@Akshit.vats. the original commenter didn't even try to imply that the videos would make you knowledgeable, only that it would get people interested in learning. if someone doesn't even care about what prohibition is, why would they care about orthodox vs revisionist attitudes on its long term effects
My mother insists on having the toilet paper face the correct way at the downstairs toilet and the "wrong" way at the upstairs toilet. Her reasoning for this is the following: "the downstairs toilet roll holder is on the left of the toilet, while the upstairs one is on the right." Yea, I don't understand either.
A little Bittersweet for me mostly because I love his reaction to oversimplified, but I also don't like the fact that everybody kept on bugging him about it while he was on another series.
I've already watched the oversimplified video, but I always come here to get even more insight to history cause history I like history, did I say history?
From what I understood drinking started becoming a larger problem in the U.S. as drinks with higher alcohol content became more wide spread and couple that with industrialization and you get a recipe for disaster. I also remember hearing that it was not uncommon for farmers in New England to have hard cider before going to work and that alcoholic beverages were a source of needed calories for laborers (especially farmers) and was often times safer than drinking water.
My wife actually hangs the toilet paper going under. Her reasoning is that it makes the toilet paper more difficult to roll, and therefore reduces the amount we use. It is a tense household.
The only legitimate reason I've seen for it is to mitigate pet related issues. If it's under rather than over it's harder for a cat or something to grab and pull out a lot at once by hitting the main roll due to the angles
@@Zeuseus6609 Yep, our cat loved to pull the paper all off the roil and into a pile on the floor. No matter how much love paper over the roll, a persistent kitty can force your hand. xD
I was kind of surprised there wasn't a Billy Sunday reference in there anywhere. His transformation from debauched baseball player to fiery temperance-touting street preacher was a huge brick in the wall of the movement.
I rather appreciate that Oversimplified isn't a one-stop-shop. Leaving out some figures, even major players, might have been necessary to keep the video concise and flow better. This also encourages viewers to continue with their own study and/or research. A win-win in my book, as long as the omission doesn't discredit anything that WAS presented.
Normally I don't like reaction channels, but you give lots of credit, and also provide additional insight. Got my like after you remember rick and Morty and shouted it out of the blue loll
You deserve more subscribers. You put history into context that truly makes sense. Like you, I am always trying to explore and expand my historical knowledge.
I was watching "Secrets in the Museum" yesterday (I think that's what the show was called...) and Vine-Glow was one of the subjects covered. Joseph Gallo, it's creator, struggled to sell his wine grapes as different products (jam, jelly, snacks, ect...) due to prohibition, his business almost going belly-up, and found out that wine grapes don't taste that great and are only good for making wine. He did it as a last-ditch effort while still being a wine business that works within the written federal laws. The warning label was a real thing; On the box where everyone, including Prohibitionists, could see it. He and his company eventually were forced to stop its production after the government, embarrassed by how Gallo wasn't breaking any laws and had even approved a few loans for the business to stay in business, were pressured into changing/updating said laws just to stop the sale and production of a legal product.
IIRC, Dr. Spanky is one of the characters from the "Bucket War" video who was running for mayor or something. It was him, Spaghetti Jeff, and the bucket.
As a closing manager to many restaurants over the years and having to log sales and taxes for each day, I can comfortably say the government makes good money off of alcohol. Many nights we make half of the profits out of the drinks.
I immediately searched for Mr. Terry History right after I watched Oversimplified's Prohibition video a week ago but I didn't see a new video. I was really excited about this new video.
Anyone who does the toilet paper flap over does not own a cat. Because if you hang your toilet paper that way with a cat in the house, you will quickly no longer have a roll of toilet paper but a pile of paper on the bathroom floor and a cat walking in when you discover it meowing at you like "What is this? I am shocked that this event has occurred and I was in the kitchen the entire time you can't prove anything."
Fun fact with regards to the open scene, Many farmers (ie.me) Still drink on the job but not to the rate were we are drunk, more like your 5 O Clock, since we are usually inside \ tractor that dives itself for 14 hours a day
Fun fact: Winston Churchill took a trip for a lecture tour in the USA during the height of prohibition, 1931 I think. Now, alcohol fact: Heavy drinkers (Churchill was one) tend to experience withdrawal symptoms when brutally forced to not drink. And now, English fact: Those chaps drive on the left for some reason. What happens next? While getting out of a cab in NYC, Churchill, maybe distracted/confused by mild withdrawal symptoms, forgot that americans drive on the right and looked the wrong way before crossing the street. He got badly hit by an oncoming car and ended up with several bruises, some broken bones and a severe mental shock. Aaaand the fun begins: Churchill goes to the hospital, meets some doctor who concluded that alcohol was the best medicine to get cured of BEING HIT BY A CAR and writes the prescription (to the doc's defense it may have been wise to eliminate potentially severe withdrawal symptoms on a patient recovering from such an accident). And of course good old Winston got better in no time after that. Now some specifics about the medical script: Churchill was prescribed six (6) shots of spirits at every meal but no upper limit was fixed. The irony. Doctors who practiced during the PROHIBITION era were prescribing alcohol consumption regimens that would be considered dangerously abusive, even requiring medical intervention during our times (of liberated and socially accepted drinking). Sorry if my english is weirdly written, I'm a francophone from Quebec city. Who happened to self-prescribe Churchill-Grade amounts of whiskey during this way too weird isolated christmas night. Cheers to all those who live alone during these times, we'll all get through this. Finally thank you Mr.Terry for your work! Wish I had an history teacher of your type 20 years ago.
Some more info about George Remus. When he left for prison, he gave power of attorney to his wife, Imogene. She now controlled his entire operation and all his assets. While in prison he told another inmate that his wife had his power of attorney. The ‘inmate’ was an undercover prohibition agent. He resigned his job and started an affair with Imogene. Together, they sold his assets and hid as much as possible. They then tried unsuccessfully to have him deported. They then hired a hit man to kill him. The entire time she was suing him for divorce. After Remus left prison, he had his driver run her car off the road. As she fled on foot, he chased and shot her to death. After his wife’s death was confirmed, they took Remus to Eden Park to look for the gun, with no success. Later that day, the prosecutor’s office sent a psychologist to Remus’ cell. He happily explained how his wife and her lover “broke up my home, robbed me of my fortune and double-crossed the federal government” and assured the doctor he wasn’t insane - but then added, “No man could be perfectly sane and commit the crime that I’ve done.” He acted as his own lawyer at his murder trial. He pled innocent by reason of insanity. Prosecutors brought in three psychological experts to examine Remus and refute the claim, but a steady stream of defense witnesses attested that while “he was exceptionally intelligent and sane and bright and shrewd” most of the time, when it came to Imogene and Dodge-the agent she had the affair with- “he was crazy as a bedbug.” Furthermore, to the dismay of prosecutors, Remus and his attorney were able to discuss what Imogene had done, offering an explanation for why he’d gone mad. After 19 minutes of deliberation, the jury found him not guilty on ground of insanity with one juror later saying: “We felt that Remus had been greatly wronged, that he had suffered almost beyond human endurance.” He went to the state hospital for the criminally insane. After appealing that he was no longer insane, he was able to leave after only two months in the hospital. Remus tried to re-enter bootlegging but found that violent gangsters had taken it over. He opened a real estate office, lived quietly, and spent much time trying to reclaim his property. He never recovered most of his assets. He died at home of natural causes in 1952 at age 77. (Though it has never been confirmed, legend has it F. Scott Fitzgerald based the central figure of “The Great Gatsby” on Remus.)
Generally speaking the only people who put up toilet paper rolls releasing paper under rather than over are people with playfully cats. It avoids them batting down the whole roll. It's very similar to milk before cereal when you're unsure if the milk has gone off.
Someone should apply a patent for the "under" position, then sue anyone who does it for patent violation. Everyone uses the "over" position. Problem solved.
16:20 that is actually how Wheeler got into prohibition: when he was a kid a drunken farmhand dropped a hay fork and stabbed him in the leg with it. kind... idk, not exactly a earth shattering origin story.
Fun Fact: A large reason why Ohio was the first to protest was because it was settled by Quakers, Amish, and conservatives. So of course we'd be the first. This is also the reason why we had the most speakeasies.
You'll note that the stats presented at 5:13 are in terms of pure alcohol, meaning with the lower alcohol percentages at the time it's likely far more than three times as much was drunk, it's just lower percentages. Also 7:05 Mr. Terry spittin facts, "That's never a good sign!"
16:30 I intentionally hang the toilet paper opposite to that. And I have good reason too: When put in reverse, you can rip the paper with one hand. I use the wrist to lock the paper in place so it doesn't roll, and then pull, ripping the paper. If put "the right way", I can't lock the paper from rolling, and must do so using the other hand, which I am too lazy to do.
8:08 Ah, Rick & Morty.... for a second there, I actually remembered a cartoon called "Time Squad" from the previous decade; involving the macho "senior officer" Buck Tuddrussel, his reluctant robot partner Larry 3000 (voiced by Mark Hamill), & an orphan named Otto Osworth from the 21st century who tagged along. They inhabit a satellite orbiting Earth in the year "100,000,000 AD" and regularly have to go back in time to correct bizarre issues in history.
I don't remember how I stumbled across your content, I think it may have just appeared in my recommended videos one day because I watch a lot of oversimplified, but you can bet that I will be here until the very end because you do such a good job with these videos and I know a lot of people say that but I just wanted to say it myself, keep rocking on!
Other fun facts of Prohibition: The Volstead Act permitted people to make 200 gallons (roughly 1000 regular liquor bottles) of cider or wine a year. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (now the IRS) struck down the 0.5% limit on those two drinks, so don't say the IRS never did anything for you. :)
16:34 My dad said that one good reason to put the flap under is if you have a cat. Since cats like to mess with things, if you put the toilet paper like a normal person then the cat will be able to bat at it and unravel the ENTIRE thing. If you put it under, then it will still spin when they bat at it, but it won't unravel.
Another reason for high alcohol consumption during the Industrial Revolution, was that in many urban areas drinkable water was often contaminated by the sewage system.
My alcohol education came from my parents, as they both were members in AA. I grew up with them telling the dangers of alcohol. I think it kept me from drinking and partying in high school. I didn't try my first drink until I was in the Army at 19.
That’s the funniest thing about people with parents who are addicted, it sways in one of two extremes. Either they follow in their footsteps or the forsake it
16:33 I would only hang it backwards if I had a cat or toddler in the house. That way, they can swat at the roll all they want and it won’t unravel and make a mess.
The real question is why no one else thought about doing this. European countries had industrial revolution and alcohol... how come it never resulted in such accidents as to cause a temperance movement?

You'll note that the stats presented at 5:13 are in terms of pure alcohol, meaning with the lower alcohol percentages at the time it's likely far more than three times as much was drunk, it's just lower percentages.
Also 7:05 Mr. Terry spittin facts, "That's never a good sign!"
The goat is from the Russian revolution video
The one that no one knew how it got on the roof?
@@lucioalvarez5125 yeah it’s the safe goat
16:30 I intentionally hang the toilet paper opposite to that.
And I have good reason too:
When put in reverse, you can rip the paper with one hand. I use the wrist to lock the paper in place so it doesn't roll, and then pull, ripping the paper. If put "the right way", I can't lock the paper from rolling, and must do so using the other hand, which I am too lazy to do.
EY! You did see it! I still haven’t watched the reaction, but I’m sure it’ll be great!
Also in advance, Happy Holidays!
8:08 Ah, Rick & Morty.... for a second there, I actually remembered a cartoon called "Time Squad" from the previous decade; involving the macho "senior officer" Buck Tuddrussel, his reluctant robot partner Larry 3000 (voiced by Mark Hamill), & an orphan named Otto Osworth from the 21st century who tagged along. They inhabit a satellite orbiting Earth in the year "100,000,000 AD" and regularly have to go back in time to correct bizarre issues in history.
We will not let you breathe one breath till you react to a new oversimplified video
Live would be nice
I don't remember how I stumbled across your content, I think it may have just appeared in my recommended videos one day because I watch a lot of oversimplified, but you can bet that I will be here until the very end because you do such a good job with these videos and I know a lot of people say that but I just wanted to say it myself, keep rocking on!

Other fun facts of Prohibition: The Volstead Act permitted people to make 200 gallons (roughly 1000 regular liquor bottles) of cider or wine a year. The Bureau of Internal Revenue (now the IRS) struck down the 0.5% limit on those two drinks, so don't say the IRS never did anything for you. :)
Mr. Terrys first video - hey everyone i'm Mr. Terry with glasses and look 50
Mr. Terry now - SUP KIDS *DABS* WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER VIDEO
16:34 My dad said that one good reason to put the flap under is if you have a cat. Since cats like to mess with things, if you put the toilet paper like a normal person then the cat will be able to bat at it and unravel the ENTIRE thing. If you put it under, then it will still spin when they bat at it, but it won't unravel.
11:13, but... but.. didn’t Jesus do a whole miracle thing so a party could rage harder?
22:36 I don’t think I am caesar, Caesar was stabbed, and I wasn’t
Now release the lions
Another reason for high alcohol consumption during the Industrial Revolution, was that in many urban areas drinkable water was often contaminated by the sewage system.
The one the people has been requesting for days on end
16:51 I think William Wheeler is the greatest political genius in American history who wasn't a politician.
The only thing I'm wondering is why there's a cheese grater in the background
DUDE HOLY SH*T Look at that background, your house all that stuff all of it it's so cool!
I clicked so fast when the notification.
Dating Carrie Nation: "There's a saloon down the street and I brought sledgehammers... Wanna Smash?"
The Government: Alcohol is illegal now, you can’t drink it any more.
Literally every single person in America:
How about I do, **ANYWAY** .
The Govt: Alcohol is banned you can't drink it
American people: So anyway I started drinking
Ist so intresting and beautiful how you seem to be so much happier and how you've opend up so much since your first video
My household intentionally hangs the TP under. It looks right that way.
You are wrong.
@@MrTerry lol
I subbed to Oversimplefied with all the praise you give them
Yes Another Oversimplified Reaction video.
16:23 I’m pretty sure the top right is a true story
There is an 100 year old union song by joe hill about it called ta ra ra boom de da
haven't seen the whole episode quite yet, but yes rick and morty, but also back 2 the future
My alcohol education came from my parents, as they both were members in AA. I grew up with them telling the dangers of alcohol. I think it kept me from drinking and partying in high school. I didn't try my first drink until I was in the Army at 19.
That’s the funniest thing about people with parents who are addicted, it sways in one of two extremes. Either they follow in their footsteps or the forsake it
i watched all of ur oversimplified reactions
Yay finally you have another video!
YES MR TERRY!
16:33 I would only hang it backwards if I had a cat or toddler in the house. That way, they can swat at the roll all they want and it won’t unravel and make a mess.
I'm interested in the t-shirt he's wearing xD
I actually kinda love the fact that I got an ad right after Mr. Terry finished his intro, and right before OverSimplified's Honey ad started.
Man you didn’t say Segway when he did the honey
The real question is why no one else thought about doing this. European countries had industrial revolution and alcohol... how come it never resulted in such accidents as to cause a temperance movement?
I watch oversimplified! He’s a really cool guys, that teaches history! I am also subbed to him 😙✌️
Also in the Rabbi section, like the one in the church, did you notice the spaghetti Jeff in the background? (on the window)
You reacting to over simplified creates the thing “simplified”
7:59 no it's the Back From the Past III throwback, where Doc gets drunk in bar.
Could you please watch “The incorrect history of Milk” by Ted Nivison please.
