Your toptenz channel got hacked. Did you actually fall for one of those Phishing links??
Is your channel hacked right now?? You're showing an offline live stream fundraiser with Elon Musk announcing a clearly bullshit crypto "merge",
It says it's a fundraiser for "Ukraine" that's raised $5.4M so far.
Cosmographics
I think there is some sort of scam going on in this channel too. I got a message from "geographics" saying they have a package for me, and to contact via telegram. Somehow I suspect not 🧐
In 1977 I entered in the fifth grade. The teacher had students break into self-formed teams to do reports on all the planets. Team Mercury, Team Venus and so on. I didn't want to be on any teams, and fortunately for me absolutely nobody wanted Uranus. I took it, and found out how little information was available about the planet. In frustration I wrote a letter to NASA to ask what they knew about Uranus. Somebody from NASA somehow got that letter and phoned and told me about how Uranus was the first planet we discovered with telescopes, the then recent discovery of the rings, the extreme tilt, the Voyager mission, and other stuff that was a fifth-grader's gold mine for a report. He also had someone from the Orlando Science Center, which I think was the (astronaut) John Young Museum and Planetarium at the time, meet with and give me a bunch of stuff. I was the only kid who had props for his planetary report. Since then Uranus has been my favorite planet. Well, besides Earth.
Man, I wish I was that lucky. My little brother is super into space now and he might get there sooner than I will.
@@joshuafrias2415 I have few happy childhood memories, but that's one. There's some 1970s NASA mailroom employee who saw a child's letter and sent it to just the right person who'd actually care. Then that second NASA employee took the time to call a child, and to hook me up with a contact at the Orlando Science Center for more help. Then someone at the Orlando Science Center gathered things to give a child for my school report. When I think about what those people did for a child they'd never before met, I'm blown away.
You legend.
That is really cool 😎
This story is amazing! How cool
I imagine someone took a moment to consider titling this “Probing Uranus” but Simon said, “No! This is one of my *serious* channels.”
Judging by the first few minutes he laughed as much as most of us and then asked to temp down the jokes so he could keep a straight face.
That was my first thought. I’m 55! What’s wrong with me?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The subtitle in the thumbnail makes it all but impossible to not say it to yourself and get a chuckle out of it.
NGL, my inner 12 year old giggled thru this video. I tried my best to watch & listen seriously 😂.
Thats one of the things I love about Simon's channels. Some of them are pretty serious and stay on topic throughout.
And then you have channels like casual criminalist and blaze.
"We're Stardust Crusaders, riding a Golden Wind of rocket fuel past the Stone Ocean of our moon"
"these Diamonds aren't Unbreakable"
Damn, he probably doesn't really know what he's referencing, but his script writer is on point
Absolutely impressed and surprised to hear like 4 different JoJo references in a video about Uranus
He probably knows.
Sorry, what is he referencing?
@@nathishvel5725 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
@@RedXlV nah, he doesn't watch anime even though his writers do.
How many hours of outtakes of Simon laughing hysterically exist from this video alone?
I was just thinking the same thing.

At least 3😊
Probing Uranus.
Giggle
Generally I try to avoid that.
If they hadn't said that I'd have been disappointed.
Your comment deserves to be the top comment
Really, Commander?
Lmao "gazed longingly at Uranus." Simon I know you had to fight back a smile with that one 😅
We need an outtakes video just with snippets from this one. lol.
@@craigg9742 seriously!!! Lol
Came here just for this! 🤣😂
@@Jezus42 not gonna lie, I spit a lil beer out when he said it lol
😜👌
I remember in one of mass effects games, if you tried to probe uranus, EDI the ship ai would go "Really commander?".
I love how if you do it again she just sighs and then deadpans "Probing Uranus."
You sort of glossed over the discovery of Neptune. I know this video is about Uranus, but it was Uranus that led to the discovery of Neptune. Astronomers noticed that Uranus' orbit was more wobbly than it should be and postulated that there must be another planet tugging on it. Intense calculations predicted where and when to look, and it was exactly where it was expected. Neptune remains the only planet discovered on paper, an incredible achievement in a pre-computer/calculator world.
Farnsworth: "We changed the name of that planet..."
Fry: "What do you call it now?"
Farnsworth: "Urectum."

Someone on the writing team is a JoJo's fan 👀
Was waiting to see how they fit in battle tendency and phantom blood
YES! YES! YES!
Orah!!
That was the most epic Jojo quote across all his channels to date, and he writer should get a raise for this alone

I swear, his scriptwriter knew what he was doing with the puns and innuendos. Went thru all the Geographics videos, and this is the one that made me smile the most
Well done for mostly keeping a straight face throughout this one, Simon 😂
Writers: Simon, which Uranus puns do you want to use
Simon: All of them, GIVE ME ALL OF THEM!
We should probe Uranus.
He clearly left out "scratching the surface of Uranus" at the start, so not all of them.
Uranus ain't that spectacular
[Gary Oldman] EVERYONE!!!
Kylo Ren “MORE !!!”
You don't want us to giggle at it, but you drop lines like
"Gaze lovingly at Uranus"
Yeah I see you factboi
Ah yes, entering the inner structure of Uranus is most assuredly when things "get weird"
I'm sure the out-takes of this video are gold. Simon: we want them, we need them.
Petition for Simon to make his 5000th channel Astrographics to expand his RUclips empire
I will sign that.
100%. ✊️
Please do astrographics
That would quickly become my favourite channel after BB.
Yes i will signnn
You know you're too deep into Simon's media empire when you can start recognizing specific editors by the memes they insert and their own comedic timing...
Simons empire? You mean youtube?
I thought he had different writers, but just Jen for editing?

@@megancrager4397 No there's definitely several editors
@@Wreckz_TeaSimons RUclips? You mean empire?
I've been laughing my exoplanet off this entire video. It's a masterpiece of puns 🤣
Having long since held an appreciation for the particular beauty of Uranus. I recall fondly the occasion when I aimed my telescope out of the window, gazed through it, only to be greeted by that most majestic of sights: Uranus, perfectly visible and shining brightly before me. No more wondrous a sight could I ever hope to imagine. I only regret that others couldn't also have been there that night; to share a view of Uranus, in all it's perfect beauty.
6:07 This is the LAST place I would've expected to hear a reference to JOJO!!
5:45 "a closer look at Uranus"
Uranus had always been my favourite planet: the color, its vertical ring, just made it such a gloriously bizarre planet.
I'd love to see the blooper reel for this one!
I'm 48 years old and I giggled all the way through this.
“What might a future probe for Uranus look like?”
Everybody smiles cheekily
Fnurr fnurr
A thermometer
A hamster
>cheekily
i see what you did there
It would have to be a really long probe so it can go deep into Uranus. Of course you'd want all the survey stuff in the front so it would have to be bigger than the rest of it with a 360 degree field of view while seeing in front and behind at the same time, so probably a mushroom shape front would be in order to achieve that.
"More unlikely than Meatloaf doing that for love" - wonder how many heads that reference flew over lol
"why Uranus really is the most enticing destination of all" - he said, with a straight face
Simon Whistler:
- Classy British accent
- Well-dressed
- Well-groomed
- Thoroughly-researched facts and insights
- Literally twelve years old, apparently
😁
You should watch Brain Blaze
"Probing Uranus"
Any proctologist knows what a probe for Uranus looks like.
4.2 billion dollars is just around half of the military equipment we gave to Afghanistan.
Allegedly
I have to be honest I am disappointed that things pertaining to Uranus are “Uranian” and not “Uranal” but oh well
You ladies and gentleman did a good job on this one. If you would have done a 10-11 minute video on Uranus I would have skipped it. But I saw the runtime on this and thought "25 minutes is a long time to talk about a planet we know almost nothing about. He is going to talk about something I don't already know." And you guys did. Good job.
Simon, your emphasis on the scientist desire to probe Uranus almost made me chop my finger off with laughter while I was innocently chopping carrots 👀😂
It made my day to learn about Uranus Simon. By exposing the inner mysteries of Uranus, you have inspired me to do some further probing of Uranus. Also, now I am so jealous of Voyager 2. That probe got closer to Uranus than I ever will!
🤣
I wonder if the next Voyager craft will have a Hamster 🐹 or a Gerbil on it?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!...just layin them down as ya go! Well played...hahahaha
@@sawtooth808 aww hell man...that was great. Yes...I am a total child.
"Probing Uranus", "Uranus and all its gassy glory", my inner 13 y/o is going crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Less likely than Meatloaf doing that for love” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Why Uranus really is the most enticing destination of all" I had to pause it right there, I was laughing so hard 😂😂😂
6:08 IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?! (I know Simon doesn't know a thing about anime, but his writer for this video certainly does)
I can't be the only one who noticed a significant number of JoJo references in this episode
Even Uranus and Neptune being my 2 favorite planets. I still chuckle with all the puns, such as Simon saying, "Viewing Uranus in all its gassey glory." Even 46 years old and that planet makes me laugh like a grade school kid.
Thank you for giving us a better look into how amazing Uranus is Simon 😂
I am NOT going there.
Quite fitting that, while watching this video, my bluetooth speaker momentarily cut out, causing Simon to say "ass giants."
I choose to believe that they knew exactly what Uranus sounds like to English speakers and chose the name on purpose just to spite them after they had attempted to name it after a British king.
I don't know how plausible this theory is but I believe in it because it's funny as heck
also... Germans.
That is a very plausible idea and one which is indeed funny as heck.
"Prove why Uranus, really, is the most enticing destination of all."
Comedy Gold!
I swear to god, there's some kind of internet conspiracy to ensure that all discussions about the planet Uranus are described in terms of "probing".
"What is out mission for today sir?"
"We are going to probe Uranus"
"Er, yes sir".
"Buy me a drink first."
"Stardust Crusaders"
"Golden Wind"
"Diamond is Unbreakable"
Factboi, whoever wrote your script knows what's up
Wait... is that a JoJo reference?
Missed Stone Ocean
8:00 Oh god oh god oh god. I can’t stop long enough to wipe off the tears. How many takes, Simon? You deserve a medal.
Thank you Simon, appreciate your humor and your dedication in all you do friend!!
We can't send a crewed mission to Uranus.
I'm sure we can send a crude mission to Uranus though.
Or we could at LEAST send a probe.
It would end up being a screwed mission for sure!
"Uranus is weird and no one knows why"
"Uranus doesn't have a heat source...." a
.... sensation comedy here lol
When you're 10 years old, yeah probably.
This video should go down in history as not only a terrificly informative episode, but also the ultimate library of Uranus puns. Well done, bravo! 🎉
The sheer amount of JoJo puns and references is so torturous, I love it.
I laughed through almost this whole thing. At one point, my wife told me to grow up.
Never grow up..lol
Get rid of that nagging wife .
I hope Simon does a Biographics on Homo Erectus.
All women act like spoiled kids lol, so thats rich coming from her.
Tell her if you did she'd no longer be with the man she married and you will honor her choice in a marriage partner until your dying breath.
“Probing the ice giant”
I feel like this was deliberate.
They had the perfect title "Probing Uranus" right there, sitting on a silver platter, and nah...
@@PB-gk1vh fiortunately my dyslexia kicked in, and i read "probing Uranus".
"uranis is lying on its,side" moons, rings...
Uranus truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
Excellent video Simon, informative, well researched and full of puns, it's got to be the funniest one on this channel so far. 😂
One day I can hear Uranus and not giggle 🤭
Today sure as f isn't today 😂
Sneaky Simon tossing in those JoJo's references at 6:08
My absolute favorite joke in 4th grade was a *real* knee-slapper. It goes as follows; "What does the crew of the Enterprise and a roll of toilet paper have have in common? They both fly around Uranus wiping out clingons."
I'm 50 and giggling like a schoolgirl! 😆
Are you planning a video on Neptune? It was the only planet to be mathematically predicted. That alone is really cool but it has a lot of secrets that we still haven’t uncovered
"Probing The Ice Giant" 😂😂🤣🤣thanks for that. It is one of my favorite planets, I just wish it had a different name, people seem to get so hung up on the name they miss how amazing it is.
I propose they rename it "Planet Butthole".
I think Uranus is amazing. I love Uranus. I dream about Uranus nightly. I wish I could visit Uranus. Seriously, Uranus is fantastic. I'd love to fly a rocket right into Uranus.
So is there going to be a blooper reel from this one? I can see that you had to recover from laughing a few times!
Please Simon, we want a blopper reel
Honestly I would like a blooper reel from all his channels.
@@bamacopeland4372 I've been asking. They insist Simon doesn't make mistakes 🤣
yes pls
@@andyv16012 he definitely makes mistakes but I won't like blooper reels from all his channels mainly brain Blaze that be a perfect idea for a 24-hour Loop Channel
Google informs me the diameter of Uranus is 31,518 miles. That's huge. I was surprised to learn Uranus has rings, as does Neptune. I have seen some good discussion on why Uranus is colder than Neptune, even though it is closer to the sun. It's because Neptune swallowed the planet Triton was originally orbiting. Triton still orbits that rocky planet, though now it is the core of Neptune. This explains why Triton orbits retrograde AND why Neptune has a hot interior. heat leftover from the collision. Nice reporting. All good wishes.
I am STILL to this day still amazed how Simon is able to pull off all those gags and joke lines without losing it. Only a few times he came close with a smile sneaking in. 😆 😁
PS: I wonder how many takes did it took to complete this video? 😉😆😁
I'm not sure why there's a bunch of JoJo references in this script but I do appreciate just as much as the butt jokes.
Uranus has a fuzzy borderless core. How in the hell am I not supposed to giggle through this entire episode?!!!
Herschel was in Bath when he found Uranus. (Snickering)
I appreciate your efforts into seeing how much innuendo-heavy writing can be crammed ;) into one episode. I'm sure at least 3 people have already mentioned this, but "Georgium Sidus" sounds remarkably like "Georgie Inside Us."
In Star Trek they knew there were a lot of Klingons near Uranus
Never has any of your videos made me laugh this much before. Some of these lines were just super smooth
Who rolls right on from an excellent Roman emperors series into an underrated Planets series complete with Uranus jokes? I mean seriously who does that?
Simon?
I can't wait until 2620 when astronomers will rename Uranus once and for all to end that stupid joke. Finally we will be able to talk about Urectum without people snickering!
Already done Brits now refer to "yer-ran-us" emphasis on the first syllable.
Doesn't stop the jokes though
That was a joke on Futurama so that wasn't really original
@@wades623 I'm shocked, SHOCKED!
Well, not that shocked.
@@Neil070 It just ends up sounding like "urine-iss"
1:58 -- thank you, Simon. You made the title of the video worthwhile. No false advertisement here. :)))))
Only ONE RUclips channel has the guts to say the name of this planet the way it deserves to be said. I applaud you.
Damn, Simon made at least 4 Jojo references
Pretty sure Morris has been waiting a loooooong time to use up these butt puns. 😄 He's been sprinkling them throughout the Astrographics videos for years.
Tries to get away from all the butt gags, then says "why Uranus is the most enticing destination of all"
Simon, I just can't comprehend how you said that with a straight face.
They should call any mission to Uranus "Charmin."
Just imagine scientists saying stuff like "We have to probe deep into Uranus in order to make new and exciting discoveries!"
Simon totally made a JoJo reference 😂
“Stardust Crusaders, Golden Wind, and Stone Ocean.” Absolute legend!!!
Also: These diamonds aren't unbreakable
Stone Ocean? Asteroids?
Simon, to his wife:
“Uranus really is the most enticing destination of all.”
we need a blooper reel from some of these, i don’t believe you do this all day and don’t laugh your ass off lol!
Can we just take a moment to contemplate the fact that Science believes Uranus once got smashed by an object the size of Earth? 😆
🤣
It was a grower not a shower
Basically what happens whenever you fall on your ass.
And it STILL hasn't recovered. Its rolling around like its the celestial equivalent of a wheelchair. 🤣
I'm halfway through the video, and I'm absolutely certain that the writer's deliberately putting Jojo references here 😂
Stardust Crusaders and Diamonds are Unbreakable. Definitely.
Stardust Crusaders, Diamond Is Unbreakable, Golden Wind and Stone Ocean I noticed
If you'd ask Simon, he'd say his greatest achievement is naturally weaving the line "staring longingly at Uranus" into a lecture on the 7th planet, then delivering that line after only 39 takes.
Fun fact, Uranus currently only has one prograde irregular moon called Margaret. And Margaret is arguably the most inclined natural satellite at 57 degree in prograde direction (or about 123 degree in retrograde) and has one of the most eccentric orbit among the moons in the solar system. In 2010, Margaret's orbit eccentricity is at around 0.8 (similar orbital eccentricity to Sedna), making it the most eccentric orbit in the solar system, although Nereid's mean eccentricity is greater.
No idea what any of that means but fair play for letting us know 👍🏻
Margaret would have to be pretty irregular to spend that much time around Uranus
I'll see myself out
Nerd alert
@@Big_Tex 🚨 clown alert 🚨
Another fun fact, I had an aunt called Margaret who held the British record for most pints downed in 10 minutes.
nice Jojo's references!
I just want to see Simon watching Jojo's for the first time.
"We're Stardust Crusaders, riding a Golden Wind of rocket fuel past the Stone Ocean of our moon"
Waaaaaait a minute... is that a JoJo reference?!
I’m so glad they are finally probing Uranus.
I can't believe Cassini was 20 years ago... seems like more recent history. I think the most depressing part of this is that even if it gets the green light, many who are excited about this won't be around to see the spacecraft reach Uranus.
“I appreciate Uranus in all its gassy glory” would make an EXCELLENT T shirt!
“But then that’s just Uranus. It’s just weird and no one really knows why”
I remember when they discovered the rings around Uranus. I was at the perfect age to just giggle every time I heard about it.
Hey, everybody! Simon is going to tell stories about Uranus.
Simon's head looks like Uranus.
I would love to see the outtakes for this video
Made me laugh more than a Brain Blaze ep and was very informative.
The number of word choices in there said with a strait face had too be very deliberate. lol
Great vid.
Thanks for great vid! So many epic quotes from you script also lmao
I'm now disappointed that we don't have a Uranian Moon named Bottom. Science has let us down!
