I don't know why you say he's a polarising figure. He's a rather celebrated figure in Australia. I remember in early primary school we had some guest speaker show up to talk to each class, but instead of telling us about stranger danger or whatever the usual guest speakers would talk about, he told us the whole story about how Ned Kelly earned his green silk sash and how he was an outlaw fighting against a corrupt police force. He's genuinely considered a national hero.
Hey, also an aussie here. I know it's really hard to believe considering how loved he is by pretty much everyone, but I've met a few people (not many by any means) who think Ned Kelly was just an outlaw like all others. So for some dummies I guess he had to make that point but as you said, yeah he's pretty much the face of Australian history.
Fun fact: Ned’s story was immortalized in what is often considered to be the first ever feature-length film, _The Story of the Kelly Gang,_ released in 1906.
It’s literally the “tis’ but a scratch” meme. He basically got his legs shot with a shotgun while wearing the crusader 3000 armor, and then decided to just walk it off.
Should have looked at when Ned sent a letter to the bank saying "im gonna rob you this week, I wont tell you which day but its definitely going to be this week" and he did it, absolute hero in Australia
I'm an Aussie. I'm not sure what it was like in State schools, but in catholic school the Ned Kelly story was taught to us as little kids like the guy was Robin Hood meets Iron Man. We all loved him.
As an Australian who lived in a town where he robbed can confirm people still talk about him today and have stickers and various other items with him on it he has 100% left a legacy
@@lovz2killz884 With RDR2 online the robbery part is the swiping & re-swiping of credit cards. But the online crowd isn't of the intelligence to see this.
i think ned was being friendly because he had a background of abuse, and then looked up to powers, who was a gentleman and taught ned how to treat others with respect. ned took in those traits and stuck with them. that's pretty powerful
Just Some Salty Boi Ned Kelly NEVER treated his victims with respect. Where did you get that idea? Kelly took hostages at gunpoint and threatened to shoot them if they did not obey instantly. How is that treating people with respect?
@@bradwilliams7212nobody said normal. He was being merciful. He could’ve just spilled their brains out their skulls if he wanted to couldn’t he? Champ…
@@Sirdeezthedirty Ned Kelly murdered three police at Stringybark Creek, and was responsible for the death of Aaron Sherritt He was also responsible for the deaths of the three gang members at Glenrowan and the deaths of two civilians at Glenrowan. Time you woke up to reality, sport.
As someone who lives in Australia, I can confirm that he is a Legend amongst us. We're taught about Ned Kelly in schools, and practically everyone here knows of him and his famous end.
I feel like the way he carried himself and dealt with the common people same as he was shows you more of the real truth of his character, the the actual crimes of a criminal that he committed do. Anyone can break the law...not everyone can do it and have their victims sad you left afterward.
At some point we need a Madlads about the Eureka Stockade, mainly the events leading up to it, it provides a lot of context as to why people rallied behind Ned Kelly. Clashes with colonial forces culminating in the wholesale slaughter of miners protesting licensing fees. Not super appropriate for a Madlads, but if the Ice Cream War gets a pass, this should too.
How many supporters do you think Ned Kelly had? One paper's editorian at the time claimed 125, out of a population of 14,500. They would know. Your comment follows fictitous rubbish written by pro-Kelly authors.
When you see the way the Aussie coppers have been acting over the last 18 months, you have to think....not a lot has actually changed with them in the last 150 years has it?
@@samsabastian5560 ahh so the government said the government agents actions were reasonable, definitely not a chance of bias or corruption occuring there, no thats not even a possibility I'm sure...
@@chrisp.lettuce8900 Your knowledge of the RC is woeful. Most of the RC members were politicians and were anti-police. However, they found that the police acted with integrity regarding the Kelly's. There is ample written evidence to support my comment.
Aussie here. Long winded post incoming... I grew up from a family that fought the war in Yugoslavia decades ago, and even my parents who weren't born on these shores found respect for Ned. The tenacity, the grit, the unvarnished honesty, the everburning fighters spirit are traits I grew up admiring. No one treats your family like that, police or otherwise. No government has the right to treat it's people like that, regardless of circumstance. Now, seeing how our beloved country is devolving into madness, especially my state of Victoria, more than a few people are probably considering buying plates to make armour. Yes, the Kelly's did things that were bad, even horrible, but given the circumstances that led to them, I can hardly blame them. Personally, I'm glad Ned is resting in peace now, with a marked grave, and when lockdowns ease, I plan to take the trip up to the site and pay respects. So thank you Ned. You weren't an angel, but you were something that a lot of politicians and cops aren't right now, and it's something we desperately need. Honest. And thank you Dank. A pain in the ass to research and record, to be sure, but you've done every Aussie and Irish viewer of your channel a great service. Cheers mate. Can't wait to see you have an interview with Isaac Butterfield.
1991shadowheart You have no idea what you are talking about. The Royal Commission on 1881 found that the police acted properly regarding Ned Kelly's criminality. You claim the family was treated badly, which is a load of nonsense. Show us your evidence to prove what you are saying?

I'm Victorian. I was raised on Ned Kelly. I loved going and seeing his plaster cast head in old Melbourne gaol. He is important to us, especially in these dark, dark days.
@@samsabastian5560 A majority of city heros and folk legends are murderers, bank robbers, hostage takers thieves and thugs, They're respected because they usually stand up against the local law and sometimes give to the poor, but not usually.
Ned was executed in the old Melbourne Gaol.. after taking a school tour there one day, the tour guide said it wasn't Ned who said the famous line "Such is life" before being hanged, in fact it was the hangman who uttered these words, Ned was completely silent.
Growing up poor this resonates quite a bit with me. Instead of stealing horses my dad taught me how to siphon gasoline. Instead of stealing cattle we learned how to poach. I’m not particularly proud of the up bringing but I know how in case it hits the fan and I need to provide for my family.
This is a good point and probably kind of what Larry Phillips mom n dad did with him, when they were not selling big quantities of drugs, one of his parents would just take Larry to siphon some gas or to Jimmy the coin box in a laundromat, with Mom and Dad each taking turns LOL, so you can see where Larry's dad would look with pride at his son's crimes in the paper, where say a car was boosted from this place or some Auto parts were stolen from that place, or a couple of cows were rustled from this place, report was taken but matter is under investigation, and his dad just cheering, Larry you did it again! Dank laughs about this but I can see it happening
Wow what a stunningly stupid comment to make. Trying so hard to connect your life to lives lived so long ago. And then somehow connect it to current day problems. You must be American?
Got an Aussie cousin, whenever he comes stateside he brings Australian themed goodies for everyone. Last time for me was a nice little collection of historical books among them a biography of Ned Kelly. This is gonna be a good one.
So happy to see the Count grow and prosper in life despite so many hardships and so many people trying to break him down. Congrats on the new child, congrats on the new studio, and I hope this is just the beginning to your climb to the top and not a plateau
Only in Australia. People still argue in pubs about Ned. When I was 5 my father told me, if you see a man running down the street with a bag on his back marked “loot” (could have been “swag but I’m too old to remember) and he’s going this way,dad pointed left, and the police run up a minute later and ask which way he went, you tell them he went right. My father was middle/upper class, highly educated, and very much an Aussie. My English mum overheard and was horrified. Dad and I laughed.
Kiwi lad here. Thank you Dank. Thank you. There has never been a more fitting Mad Lad. He's an Aussie hero who is even admired on my side of the ditch.
If you have any doubt just how much of an icon this man still is.... where I'm from, Melbourne we literally learn this story in primary school and take excursions to go see the armour. It's quite common to see stickers on the back of cars with the iconic silhouette of the head armour and the quote "such is life".
@bradwilliams7212 I never said he did. I mentioned how much of an icon he still is. Weather he said it or not, I don't know. Or care, but the phrase is attributed to him however inaccurate.
The armour was made in a bush forge. They can tell because of its characteristics. It wasn't brought up to a high enough heat to properly forge it so it took far longer to shape.
@@whitetiger5284 a bush forge, damm I can't imagine getting dirty enough to look aboriginal but this guy is the epitome of survival, in towns with people or in the bush with cold n critters n just survival, keeping your horse healthy too. Unbelievable 👍
Despite the spelling being Wagga Wagga it is actually pronounced “woga woga” and means place of many crows. It’s a classic example of an Aboriginal name, they’re probably a bit difficult unless you’ve grown up hearing them.
To be fair aboriginal words are super dumb with spelling sometimes even when you grow up with them I only know Wagga Wagga because ive heard it said otherwise I’d definitely pronounce it wah-gah Wah-gah
Aussie here "wagga wagga" is pronounced "wogga wogga" but we usually leave off the second wagga. It was a brutal time in this country during the bushranging/gold rush days, there weren't a lot of cops and the locals were more on the bushrangers side. So the cops had to play dirty games to get things done or to get more cops there which could take days or weeks to arrive. Frank Gardiner and Ben Hall were my local bushrangers. Ben Hall was one of the nicest ones Frank was the local butcher, where the meat came from tho.... Late one night on the road Ben and Frank asked my great great great grandfather if they could stay the night with the family group as they could help if some bushrangers came along. Of course they knew who they were from the butchery and were not looking for a fight so said yes.
That ending with them finding his bone and burying them beside his mother was just too sweet. That’s the sort of ending to a long epic movie or TV series we need, he would have wanted that.
Ethar Childres I note that you seem to have ignored making a comment regarding the 3 decent men that Kelly murdered at Stringybark Creek. Sgt Kennedy had 5 children under 10 years of age and Constable Lonigan had 4 children. Both their wives were pregnant at the time. So according to you, do they count?
@@samsabastian5560 you seem to have ignored what kind of people lived there and what kind of shitty laws were forced on people. It's the states fault not the police or outlaws.
It's kind of amazing just how well-spoken Ned Kelly comes across for a guy who had to leave school to take care of the house after his dad went to jail. Really goes to show just how much standards have declined, doesn't it? Then again, he was clearly an intelligent and resourceful fellow, the armor alone is plenty indication of that.
Yeah education only counts for a bit. Ned was clearly an extremely smart and charismatic guy. I mean, there's well-educated folks today who aren't well-spoken, after all.
It's not easy to measure the average intelligence of people when most of the people we're exposed to, are selected and promoted by media under the understanding that negativity is far more valuable than positivity. I wish more people kept this in mind.

His iconic armour is currently on display in the state library and pretty much every Victorian primary school kid learns about the legend of Ned Kelly. It's not a story Australia has forgotten and I'm glad to see others get the chance to hear the story in full.
Most are fed the fiction about Ned Kelly. You might note that the State Library of Victoria has now removed ALL the fictitious rot relating to Ned Kelly, at MY insistance.
Growing up in Australia I was surrounded by stories of this guy. He's like a piece of history for the country and it's oddly nostalgic to hear him talked about now that I'm older.
NODnuke45 Ned Kelly was only rebelling against the authorities as they were trying to stop his massive horse stealing enterprise that was sending numerous poor settlers bankrupt.
@@samsabastian5560 - 'massive horse stealing enterprise' ?? There was no organised crime in early Australia, only disorganised crime. The first real crime boss was Kate Lee in 1930's Sydney, apart from the English taxing everyone and providing bugger all. The Kelly gang were basically living hand to mouth
@Blaze Temp - mate learn basic English. I didn’t even finish high school and can at least write legibly. Firstly- most Australian’s aren’t English, we are of British descent. In case you weren’t listening to Dank, most of the names in his slightly botched retelling of Ned Kelly’s life were Irish, including the Jacks (Police). You only have to look at the list of our Prime Minsters and you’ll see names like - McMahon, Menzies, Gillard, McEwen, Hughes and our current PM - Morrison. Some of our famous sports stars- Warne, McGrath, Frazier. Famous actors- Errol Flynn, Paul Hogan (Croc Dundee), Barry Humphries (Dame Edna). Etc etc --All of these names are Irish, Welsh and Scot. I’m a descendant of 9 convicts (4 from mother, 5 from father- that we know of), 7 were Irish, 1 Welsh, 1 English. There is plenty of English blood here but there is just as much from the rest of Britain/Ireland as well. Secondly- after the convicts finished their sentences, they weren’t given a pass back to Britain/Ireland, instead they were given menial jobs in settlements for bugger all pay or given an arid (dry) piece of land with no live stock and told to produce something in order to pay taxes that were sent back to England. There was very little infrastructure, medical facilities etc that people should expect after being taxed more than people in Britain. That’s why in 1901, we said F.U and said we are no longer paying taxes to England and we will build our own nation. We have thrived ever since. No hand outs Perhaps you should read a little more
I know it's more about English-speaking people, but you have to talk about Jacques Mesrine, the king of French criminals. He was literally nicknamed "Public enemy number 1" by the media and inspired numbers of characters in French media as well as having 2 films made on his life as a criminal.
As an Aussie, I automatically agree with all that is in favour of, and disagree with all that is not in favour of the man, myth, the legend.. Ned Kelly.
@@bureaucratbayonet I understood that well, but do you understand that the police acted with integrity towards the Kelly's, as the Royal Commission found?
We love him down here because he had higher morals & a fairer sense of justice than any police ever had. Sadly, his story is totally relevant to us now.
@@samsabastian5560 You come to a point where you have to fight fire with fire. You can see, if you listened to the whole thing, that he was done over again & again by people in positions of authority & power. Had they acted with some moral code of decency & fairness, Kelly would not have been pushed as he was, continually, & we may have seen a totally different person AND outcome. Ymmv, of course, but I'm not perpetually turning the other cheek when I'm getting kicked below the belt, ongoing.
@@Ad_Astra_321 You have no idea what you are talking about. I will ask you one question. You are claiming Ned Kelly was harassed and abused by police. Then tell us, as Ned Kelly boasted to his hostages that he had stolen at least 280 horses, and the police had only ever charged him with stealing one horse, how was he being harassed? Ned Kelly was pushed nowhere. The police got him a job when he was charged with armed robbery. He rejected that job and turned to massive criminal activity. Show us your evidence that Kelly was pushed. Kelly murdered 3 decent police in a cold-blooded, vile way. He had no morals, was a stand-over-thug, and a vicious man.
@@samsabastian5560 It's obviously all about perception. He had "stolen" horses, to get to school. Pinch one from somewhere for an easy skate & he wasn't selling them on. His brothers on the other hand, were far more hard core than him, like that. & why *should* he take a job with the police? They were easily bought & sold, even back then... & no more than criminals in uniform themselves. Stories of their corruption were rife! Also, coming from such a rum lot, that would have been like working for the enemy. He was NO saint, granted, but he stood up for what he believed. You live by the sword, you die by it. Same for the cops that died.
@@Ad_Astra_321 You have no idea. Ned Kelly had a massive horse stealing 'business' where he would steal horses in the dead of night, usually from poor selectors, and move them to a criminal accomplice's property and hide them until he had about 12 horses. He would then move them over the River Murray, again at night time, and release them near a pound where the pound keeper would hold them, then when they were not claimed, would be sold at a low price. Kelly was also stealing stock in NSW and hiding them on his accomplices properties until he had about 12 horses, and he would then bring them into Victoria and release them near a pound. After a time they would be sold back to Kelly, where he obtained a proper title to them. It was a massive business, until police discovered a lot of horses held at Barnawatha and began to tear his 'enterprise' down. You have no idea, do you?

I grew up from a family that fought the war in Yugoslavia decades ago, and even my parents who weren't born on these shores found respect for Ned. The tenacity, the grit, the unvarnished honesty, the everburning fighters spirit are traits I grew up admiring. No one treats your family like that, police or otherwise. No government has the right to treat it's people like that, regardless of circumstance. Now, seeing how our beloved country is devolving into madness, especially my state of Victoria, more than a few people are probably considering buying plates to make armour.
Yes, the Kelly's did things that were bad, even horrible, but given the circumstances that led to them, I can hardly blame them. Personally, I'm glad Ned is resting in peace now, with a marked grave, and when lockdowns ease, I plan to take the trip up to the site and pay respects.
So thank you Ned. You weren't an angel, but you were something that a lot of politicians and cops aren't right now, and it's something we desperately need. Honest.

Frank Gardiner and Ben Hall were my local bushrangers. Ben Hall was one of the nicest ones Frank was the local butcher, where the meat came from tho....
Late one night on the road Ben and Frank asked my great great great grandfather if they could stay the night with the family group as they could help if some bushrangers came along. Of course they knew who they were from the butchery and were not looking for a fight so said yes.

@Blaze Temp - mate learn basic English. I didn’t even finish high school and can at least write legibly.
Firstly- most Australian’s aren’t English, we are of British descent. In case you weren’t listening to Dank, most of the names in his slightly botched retelling of Ned Kelly’s life were Irish, including the Jacks (Police). You only have to look at the list of our Prime Minsters and you’ll see names like - McMahon, Menzies, Gillard, McEwen, Hughes and our current PM - Morrison. Some of our famous sports stars- Warne, McGrath, Frazier. Famous actors- Errol Flynn, Paul Hogan (Croc Dundee), Barry Humphries (Dame Edna). Etc etc --All of these names are Irish, Welsh and Scot.
I’m a descendant of 9 convicts (4 from mother, 5 from father- that we know of), 7 were Irish, 1 Welsh, 1 English.
There is plenty of English blood here but there is just as much from the rest of Britain/Ireland as well.
Secondly- after the convicts finished their sentences, they weren’t given a pass back to Britain/Ireland, instead they were given menial jobs in settlements for bugger all pay or given an arid (dry) piece of land with no live stock and told to produce something in order to pay taxes that were sent back to England. There was very little infrastructure, medical facilities etc that people should expect after being taxed more than people in Britain. That’s why in 1901, we said F.U and said we are no longer paying taxes to England and we will build our own nation.
We have thrived ever since. No hand outs

@@samsabastian5560 It's obviously all about perception. He had "stolen" horses, to get to school. Pinch one from somewhere for an easy skate & he wasn't selling them on. His brothers on the other hand, were far more hard core than him, like that. & why *should* he take a job with the police? They were easily bought & sold, even back then... & no more than criminals in uniform themselves. Stories of their corruption were rife! Also, coming from such a rum lot, that would have been like working for the enemy. He was NO saint, granted, but he stood up for what he believed. You live by the sword, you die by it. Same for the cops that died.
@@Ad_Astra_321 You have no idea. Ned Kelly had a massive horse stealing 'business' where he would steal horses in the dead of night, usually from poor selectors, and move them to a criminal accomplice's property and hide them until he had about 12 horses. He would then move them over the River Murray, again at night time, and release them near a pound where the pound keeper would hold them, then when they were not claimed, would be sold at a low price. Kelly was also stealing stock in NSW and hiding them on his accomplices properties until he had about 12 horses, and he would then bring them into Victoria and release them near a pound. After a time they would be sold back to Kelly, where he obtained a proper title to them. It was a massive business, until police discovered a lot of horses held at Barnawatha and began to tear his 'enterprise' down.
You have no idea, do you?
I miss the RAID: shadowlegends ads, you always seemed so lifeless talking about those.

Lols, i unsubbed cause of that shite
@@vonclaren1 I don't blame him for taking the ad because he needs to eat
@@vonclaren1 then why are you here
@@WittyOriginalUsername I'm here for Ned Kelly.
Rarely watch danks vids now I'm unsubbed, make sure to leave a dislike everytime I do.
If dank does not respect his audience, then I do not respect dank
We need a „Absolute MadLads :Vlad the Impaler.“.
Yeah we do!
Christopher Lee first but Vlad not being done yet is madness. One of the obvious ones to me personally lol
trouble with vlad is there are too many conflicting narratives written of this figure, picture future historians trawling through 4chan. Thats vlads stories.
Save it for October!
Crazy how Dankula hasn't done a video in the honor of his namesake
Dank my boy, you knocked this one out of the park. The studio looks amazing and you've come a looooonnnnggg way from pug thuggery. Cheers from Texas.
Love your work mate, my family had a property near beechworth for a few years and the thing that struck me the most was these guys were truly amazing bushman. The bush near our farm was dense and rocky, by Aussie standards very mountainous too, it's called the area the Victorian Alps for a reason. All Aussies should be proud of Ned and his mates, I wish we still had more of their character as a nation, I feel we have lost alot of it in the last 20 years.
Beechworth is a beautiful part of the world. And they were indeed incredibly competent bushmen. They were great horsemen too.
What Australian would be proud of a murderer, bank robber, hostage taker, prolific thief and liar? Your comment is delusional.
Count Dank becomes a mad lad himself. Nice job on this one, Aussie pride.
Peace from Oz m8
One of us has to send him some bundy
Aussie pride? Lmfao!!! You should be embarrassed to be an Australian. Hahahaha!!!!
@@mphase7575 terrible attempt at trolling, go get your attention somewhere else
@@mphase7575 why is that?
Not hating the set, but there was a "fuck it, let's do this youtube thing" vibe with your previous set up that I appreciated.
But the new one is pretty garbage
The lights in the back are distracting.
Moral of the story: when you want to use a train for a group kill, use explosives, not a track removal.
Ned Kelly may have been a stone cold killer but I will not ignore the fact of how badass his actions were during his final stand. Also how he told the judge he'll meet him in hell, then the judge died 12 days after his execution
From what ive heard his first kill actually really shook him.
"not out of the woods just yet"
missed opportunity to say bush
"Out'ee the boosh"
If you wanna have a great time, make a drinking game out of every time he should have said Bush but didn't

You've done every Aussie proud Count. Well done on another excellent Mad Lad.
This video is full of fiction and made up nonsense.
