The Professor being excited that Ryan was close to writing flu and then screaming *"NO!"* with such frustration when he said prohibition is the highlight of my day
i like how garrett's like "wait did people die? is it ok to make jokes about this?" i guess he hasn't seen ryan and shane laughing for 5 min at the possibility of a guy shitting himself as he died
If I had a nickel for every time Boston had a food item dumped into the harbor, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
@@apoorvajaiswal6608 My understanding is he used to work with Shane Dawson and was horribly mistreated. I've only ever watched maybe a minute total of Mr. Blackface's content, but I feel like I've heard that he was deeply cruel to Garrett despite the put-on "nice guy of RUclips" persona.
When Puppet History started we all thought it would be Ruining History reimagined. Turns out Shane wanted to lure Ryan into a false sense of security before bringing back the Hot-daga.
Didnt Ryan once specifically mention a daydream about going to see a play and the curtains open and it's just shane continuing the hotdaga in full costume? Curtains? Check. Costume? Check. Ridiculous backstories and origins that lead into a seemingly multi-season long shadow plot? Check. Shane actually did it, the mad bastard lol
I never expected to be singing "I hope my wife died too, so I can see her soon, and smooch her spooky ghost horse lips!" to myself, but here we are lmao. I cannot get this freakin' song out of my head
You know how some people want to have Monty Python’s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” played at their funerals? “Clip Clop Into the Light” is that song for me.
Anyone else realize that the reason the horse was introduced early was to get us attached to him as a character so that when he was killed in the finale we’d be attached.
can we all appreciate how talented shane is?? his singing is so good??? i think he could be an actual voice actor at this point too??? and his songs are god tier????? huh???
Is there any way we can get this series nominated for some sort of award? The work Shane puts in is deserving of it. Shane’s talent really shines through and I hope more people have the opportunity to recognize it.
I agree he is sooo creative! And using the comedy method to teach history....which many and sorely lacking knowledge in!.....is spectacular! If it weren't for some colorful language I'd say puppet history would be a great teaching tool for middle and high school! Talk about memorable!
Shane is so fucking talented, I just can't. A singer, a puppeteer, a voice actor, a puppet and set maker *and a singer* . A general vibe, I'd absolutely pay to watch his show.
@@hogey989 okay but like let's talk about it. Let's have that chat, the longer you look at the shit this man has done, the more amazing he is. He puts his entire heart and soul into his art and it shows, it's is absolutely glorious and I love it.
I’m so happy that Garrett has highly upgraded the quality of the guys named Shane he knows. I’m legit proud to see him getting to enjoy his projects after years of basically being bullied by Shane Dawson for views.
Ik like he’s not being constantly put down for being the wonderful little dork he is, it makes me happy to see him around people who aren’t constantly shitting on him
So has the Professor been keeping Ryan in his basement this whole time? I feel that explains a lot of the hostility and why Ryan is on each week. Maybe he's just trying to win his freedom.
re: garrett's question about whether there was an ant problem later on...my great-grandmother lived in that neighborhood at the time, and years later she would tell my dad stories about how every summer for YEARS there would be flies EVERYWHERE. so, yes.
I never knew how much I wanted to see a full 2 hour musical adventure of the Professor being chased through time by the genie until I read this comment
He honestly already has. In the buzzfeed unsolved Q&As his hot dog saga is that. I'm not sure when in the hot daga the first song is introduced, but people have compiled it so you can watch it all
Are you saying that I should send hate mail with a single toenail clipping to his address every single day from now until he decides to write a musical?
@@ichidan-gogo Me too! I only ask because my favorite puppet history song lyric is in the pile of diamonds episode and i wasn’t sure if your favorite was because of being a horse person
holy shit that backstory flashback. holy shit that horse lament. holy shit THAT ENCORE FROM GOD!!!!!!! the showmanship! this was entirely too much fun I was giggling and clapping along with Garrett the whole time. what a finale!!!
I was laughing so hard that my cat, who had been sleepily purring on me just moments before, jumped off angrily in a huff. Despite my trying to keep external laughing to a minimum, my belly was apparently shaking too hard for her dignity. 🤣
Ryan: “do you think I can boogie board that shit?” Garrett with ultimate mom energy: “Ryan, of course you could if you believe in yourself” Favorite part of the episode
only my second favorite part. first had to be after Garrett asks if anyone died so he's trying to find out if it's ok to make jokes, then they talk about people suffocating in molasses, professor asks Garrett if he's still "into it" @ 17:20 and Garrett is like, "no, no, well, ehhh, it's complicated"... absolutely destroyed me 😂😂💀💀💀
Is it weird that I found the horsey/god duet comforting? Something about the mix of nihilism and general cheerful acceptance of one's mortality does a lot to ease the existential dread.
Theory: the “magic of theatre” and the skits are really just the professor time travelling to that exact point in history. The whole puppet history series is just a side gig as he tries to escape the genie.
@@toobeast5485 what if the Professor is telling us what happened after he intervened? Like, he's time travelling and accidentally putting things right that have got all twisted up and messed up in the timeline? What if the Professor is.... a Time Puppet?? 'Professor' is one of Dr Who's nick-names ....
@@greatvalue_ethelcain Well, in the whole genie skits we had (wich was adorable btw) we see that by traveling and messing with time, the professor turned some things nd beings into puppets, possibly by giving them jellybeans, just like he did with Garrick. So the songs might be the things and being the professor brought to puppet form being invited for the show to tell their stories as musical guests!
“People drowned in molasses?” Ryan: “that’s horrible” Garrett: “not a bad way to go!” “People scraped leaking molasses off the side of a metal tank” Ryan: “that’s disgusting” Garrett: “how economical!!” Ever the optimist, Garrett
"They pulled a guy's arm off trying to save him from the molasses." Garrett: But *maybe* he's perfectly fine in a little bubble safe from harm... Without his arm... Ever the optimist.
24:03 I just love the part where Shane was about to show B's choice, but sighs and cuts to the genie, himself, making a deal to wipe all the molasses from the streets. His sigh moment is beautiful to me, and it makes me laugh.
I am absolutely living for the shade in “The mayor of Boston refused to send immediate aid, instead releasing a statement saying, ‘We love molasses, it’s very special.” 😭💀
Me seeing the Professor in season one: Well look at this puppet I'm sure he's a nice and respectable academic. In season two: Well seems like he also travelled through time and fought a genie, that's quite a backstory. Me now: Look at this bastard going to take this horse's corpse off the grounds of his theatre.
the fact that when garrett was friends with shane dawson etc they always shouted at him pretty much whenever he spoke because he was just trying to have fun & shit but on puppet history ryan and shane were so happy to have him on the show and listen to him talk :’)
Well, that's Shane Dawson and this is Shane and Ryan, the ghoul boys. I'd rather pick the ghoul boys because they're the real ghoul boys in this town and also because I firmly (/j) believe in the notion that Shane Madej is a demon and nothing is better than a demon.
But in all seriousness, I think Ryan and Shane are happy to have him happy too since that's the type of people they are. They even sang Mamma Mia on a panel once with their fans which is so cool and very heart-warming for me.
My great-grandmother was born in 1916 and lived in central MA. She told me whenever she was in Boston during hot summer days as a young woman, the whole city would smell a like molasses, as some was still stuck in cracks and crevices and would melt in the weather.
I worked at a Sam's Club (in the late 90s), when a co-worker stacked a pallet of heavy hot cocoa mix on top of a pallet of Mrs. Butterworth syrup. After it crashed down (thankfully in the middle of the night, so no one died or was injured), it took a few days to get it mostly cleaned up. But for years, they were still finding sticky goo all over the shelving, and the smell lingered. I can still smell the sickly sweetness, if I think about it. So yeah, I can almost empathize with the people of the North End. Thankfully, I don't have the added baggage of friends and family having died from said flood, or the pandemic, or the war that also recently happened.
For those living outside of the US and a few other countries, this big ol' dump-truck-ass tank had a diameter of 27-and-a-half metres and was just over 15 metres in height. At full capacity, it could store 9.5 million litres.
Puppet History season 4 idea: Ryan finally wins the history cup, eats the beans, and then turns into a fuzzy [insert Ryan's favorite colour] puppet and ends up trapped in the same stage hellscape as the Professor
Wait. Consider. He wins the cup, eats the beans...._becomes the professor._ And that's why the Professor never let him win--cause he's Ryan's future muppet self... and he's been _teaching himself these stories to tell to keep the timeline stable_
It's so they can see more of the horizon and block out some of the glare of the sun and keep an eye out for predators. It also rotates in their eye socket so that it's always parallel to the ground. It's a pretty neat bit of evolution
I love how when the professor is describing the chaos in the moment of the tank collapsing and Ryan just says, “Do you think I could boogie-board this shit?”
this was my first episode of puppet history. if they all have songs as literally good as this one does it'll probably be my new binge watch UPDATE: THEY DO!!!!!
I am convinced that The Professor is secretly the fifth horseman of the apocalypse who creates a personal hell for one person and this go around he's just decided to share it with the world
@@ace.l.w Delights in seeing the work of his fellow horseman, his entire existence focuses on the torture of one person. Ryan is trapped in a history game show by a demon who delights in making seem like he could win but knows he never will. Watching this tiny, fuzzy blue harbinger of chaos fangirl about the work of his colleagues.
(Oops, accidently forgot to count this one) After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly. Actual Score: Ryan had 1.5 points and Garrett had 5. The guest won fairly
they aimed for a boston accent but Garrett ended up doing a southern accent and Ryan ended up with a New Yorker gansta one LMAO also are we all just gonna ignore that shane is the genie lol
@@AlexMartinez-gv7hy well it did say that professor turned things into musical puppet disasters ... maybe he gave him the ability when he turned prof into a puppet ???? just throwing theories
Theory: season finale for next season they have Shane as the guest, Ryan wins, Shane turns into the genie and it turns out its all a ploy for ryans soul
when shane sold their souls on unsolved it was to the genie. he posessed shane and trying to get ryan now. the only reason ryans is safe is because his extreme fear of spooks keeps him spiritually defended lol.
I legitimately hope this show wins an award. Honestly, all of Watcher's content deserves recognition. It's all just really fun and a great way to enjoy a half hour.
As a current history major in college, I am constantly reading and writing about history, which can be tiring. These videos are a great reminder that history can be fun and brings me joy that reminds me of why I love history. So please never stop Puppet History.
“Are you threatening me in front of this big tank of molasses” is the “in front of my salad” of 2021.
Really? In front of my tank of molasses?
Actually it would’ve been the “right in front of my salad” of 1919
I’m definitely incorporating it into my vocabulary from now on
ryan not getting the flu answer when the professor was trying to hand it to him on a silver platter is high art
This is why he doesn't win puppet history
prohibition? 🤣
I literally screamed "the spanish flu" to my laptop..... then when Ryan gave his answer, I screamed a very loud NOOOOOOOOO XD
he’s me when i was in school tbh. there’s nothing going on behind my eyes only wii music
This is like when it took him half the episode to realize they were talking about the dancing plague
The Professor being excited that Ryan was close to writing flu and then screaming *"NO!"* with such frustration when he said prohibition is the highlight of my day
I was SO excited for Ryan when that happened, Shane had so much faith in him for a second
This happens to me everyday, the life of a teacher is hard. You can do it, Professor!!!
In fairness to Ryan, I was thinking Prohibition, too XDD
I couldn't believe that the professor was helping ryan for once 😂🤣 "NO!!!!" I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I definitely thought the answer was prohibition too lmao
I can't believe the professor never mentions that this disaster is also known as the great molassacre

Petition for Ryan to include The Professor's past in an episode of 'Are you scared?' Genie edition!
FR
24:03 I just love the part where Shane was about to show B's choice, but sighs and cuts to the genie, himself, making a deal to wipe all the molasses from the streets. His sigh moment is beautiful to me, and it makes me laugh.
"B. Whatever that was all about." afterwards was just icing on the cake.
I can’t believe the last words of this season were “I’m gonna go clean up this dead horse, see ya everybody!”
It’s amazing it’s why I love this show 😂
Really? I can totally believe it. xD
I am absolutely living for the shade in “The mayor of Boston refused to send immediate aid, instead releasing a statement saying, ‘We love molasses, it’s very special.” 😭💀
Yes!! It's so funny lmao
Wait what's the shade
@Ali It’s a Trump reference
Garrett and Ryan teaming up on the professor is everything I’ve ever wanted. Tenure does not make you immune to these hands professor!
Mutiny!
As a Southerner living in Boston, I see Garrett's Boston accent as pure perfection.
It‘s you, the Exact Specific Demographic
Garret’s face when he realized that they were getting a bonus musical number is everything.
Me seeing the Professor in season one: Well look at this puppet I'm sure he's a nice and respectable academic.
In season two: Well seems like he also travelled through time and fought a genie, that's quite a backstory.
Me now: Look at this bastard going to take this horse's corpse off the grounds of his theatre.

Shane’s personal vendetta with god, genies and the idea of death did not totally shine through today😂
i feel like the leaks prevented it from bursting as the professor mentioned someone came in and fixed the leaks shortly before it broke
right!! i think the whole thing being tightly sealed would make the pressure & subsequent explosion worse lol
The fact that Shane was nice to Garrett when he forgot what letter his answer was instead of making fun of him makes me smile. idk it just does lol
Shane seems like such a cool dude, honestly
after seeing the *other* shane be so mean to garrett every time he got excited or forgetful or anything, its so fkn refreshing, ghoul boys for life
i love that the professor took a few deep breaths before getting into his genie spiel
The genie tho, like that makeup was something else
I thought the video broke 😅😅
the professor manicly giving out random history points the same way dumbledore does with house points 😭😂
Don't forget the personal bias like Dumbledore too
I feel Garrett should have lost a jellybean for thinking the Boston tea party was potentially the correct answer
the death puppet running past at 27:51 right before the horse dies was actually such a nice detail
“ it’s God you banana head” *Garrett: nods in agreement*
Holly crap that final song was almost like something straight out of a “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” parody
Miss, you won the comment section
This is one of those historical events that sounds comical at first, but turns out to be utterly horrifying when you actually look into it.
the fact that when garrett was friends with shane dawson etc they always shouted at him pretty much whenever he spoke because he was just trying to have fun & shit but on puppet history ryan and shane were so happy to have him on the show and listen to him talk :’)
I know, they treated him so badly, I loved seeing him so happy in this video, Shane and Ryan were so kind
Well, that's Shane Dawson and this is Shane and Ryan, the ghoul boys. I'd rather pick the ghoul boys because they're the real ghoul boys in this town and also because I firmly (/j) believe in the notion that Shane Madej is a demon and nothing is better than a demon.
But in all seriousness, I think Ryan and Shane are happy to have him happy too since that's the type of people they are. They even sang Mamma Mia on a panel once with their fans which is so cool and very heart-warming for me.
was just thinking that! it actually just made my world to see garrett being himself and THRIVING ! bless him.
well yeah, shane dawson's a piece of shit. Ryan and Shane are really nice, so they'd obviously be happy to have Garrett
The phrase, "...Or I guess we'll send you to Horse Hell if you were a Horse Bigot," has sent me into hysterics.
Garrett is bringing such a fun energy to this episode I love it!! also man it felt like this season flew by, it was a great ride
Agree
Definitely. Great contestant. Hope we see him again.
Season?wasnt it like 3 episodes
They need to bring him back!!
He also makes me want some gummy worms. So there's that, too...
My great-grandmother was born in 1916 and lived in central MA. She told me whenever she was in Boston during hot summer days as a young woman, the whole city would smell a like molasses, as some was still stuck in cracks and crevices and would melt in the weather.
Did she mention anything else of interest? That’s really cool.
I worked at a Sam's Club (in the late 90s), when a co-worker stacked a pallet of heavy hot cocoa mix on top of a pallet of Mrs. Butterworth syrup. After it crashed down (thankfully in the middle of the night, so no one died or was injured), it took a few days to get it mostly cleaned up. But for years, they were still finding sticky goo all over the shelving, and the smell lingered.
I can still smell the sickly sweetness, if I think about it. So yeah, I can almost empathize with the people of the North End. Thankfully, I don't have the added baggage of friends and family having died from said flood, or the pandemic, or the war that also recently happened.
As a MA resident, they STILL say to this day you can smell molasses on a hot day in the north end
I hope Garrett's southern belle character and Ryan's Mafioso frat-boy character got out of the flood okay and enjoyed the rest of their date
I am so honored to have my home town’s most infamous and embarrassing event covered as the finale episode.
Grew up near Cleveland Circle area! Great city!
So you guys are finally over Bill Buckner?
same
garret is genuinely my favorite guest on puppet history, he has such an energy that works with both ryan and the professor
my nightmares: the professor getting kidnapped by the genie
my therapist: there’s no such thing-
this video:
If “Clip Clop Into The Light” doesn’t play at my funeral I’ll die
Again?
@@katherinefrench916 yes. I would come back to life out of pure spite
The Professor vs Genie lore was a wild ride
I wanna see the genie actually show up lol
Let’s hope it get developed in season 4
For those living outside of the US and a few other countries, this big ol' dump-truck-ass tank had a diameter of 27-and-a-half metres and was just over 15 metres in height. At full capacity, it could store 9.5 million litres.
Puppet History season 4 idea: Ryan finally wins the history cup, eats the beans, and then turns into a fuzzy [insert Ryan's favorite colour] puppet and ends up trapped in the same stage hellscape as the Professor
YES
Wait. Consider. He wins the cup, eats the beans...._becomes the professor._ And that's why the Professor never let him win--cause he's Ryan's future muppet self... and he's been _teaching himself these stories to tell to keep the timeline stable_
@@MetanteiTriforce HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
As someone who has owned horses my whole life, can I just say THANK YOU for mentioning their sideways, fucked up pupils
It's so they can see more of the horizon and block out some of the glare of the sun and keep an eye out for predators. It also rotates in their eye socket so that it's always parallel to the ground. It's a pretty neat bit of evolution
@@chestersnap It's super neat!! But I am also haunted by them 😂
I feel worse for the horses than the people.
I love how when the professor is describing the chaos in the moment of the tank collapsing and Ryan just says, “Do you think I could boogie-board this shit?”
I literally found this comment when Ryan said that!
this was my first episode of puppet history. if they all have songs as literally good as this one does it'll probably be my new binge watch
UPDATE: THEY DO!!!!!
Im binge watching now. I had no idea there were songs .That Asmodeus song … wow 🤯
Ayyy this was my first too
" I can finally see the sunlight and get out of this horrible basement you have me in," Ryan is the genie trapped in human form confirmed lol
The Prof needs a willing soul to replace him. He's trying to break Ryan into making a deal for a win. Tru story.
Please God now I really want this to be Canon
I am convinced that The Professor is secretly the fifth horseman of the apocalypse who creates a personal hell for one person and this go around he's just decided to share it with the world
This is concerningly specific... I would like to hear more
@@ace.l.w Delights in seeing the work of his fellow horseman, his entire existence focuses on the torture of one person. Ryan is trapped in a history game show by a demon who delights in making seem like he could win but knows he never will. Watching this tiny, fuzzy blue harbinger of chaos fangirl about the work of his colleagues.
I agree
"This is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
PEOPLE DIED, GARRETT
(Oops, accidently forgot to count this one)
After the season 4 finale, I thought it would be fun to go back through the other videos and find out the real scores in each to see if Ryan actually won any. This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly.
Actual Score: Ryan had 1.5 points and Garrett had 5. The guest won fairly
had Ryan won any?
they aimed for a boston accent but Garrett ended up doing a southern accent and Ryan ended up with a New Yorker gansta one LMAO
also are we all just gonna ignore that shane is the genie lol
The genie, what do you think is his deal?
@@AlexMartinez-gv7hy well it did say that professor turned things into musical puppet disasters ... maybe he gave him the ability when he turned prof into a puppet ???? just throwing theories
the fact that we haven’t seen the professor with a little mask on is devastating
Lol
It would be so damn cute bby mask.
“Why is there a horse puppet full of molasses in the trash?”
Shane: you mean my masterpiece?!
Sara must have some weird nights at home
when Death runs by at 27:52 just before the horse dies.... Shane is a genius
Theory: season finale for next season they have Shane as the guest, Ryan wins, Shane turns into the genie and it turns out its all a ploy for ryans soul
Omg that’s amazing!
when shane sold their souls on unsolved it was to the genie. he posessed shane and trying to get ryan now. the only reason ryans is safe is because his extreme fear of spooks keeps him spiritually defended lol.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
That seems more like a series finale instead of a season finale, and I'm not emotionally prepared for Puppet History to be only four seasons.
Does this mean the Professor was just trying to save him!? He really does care
absolutely living for the fact that garret genuinely thought that the boston tea party was in the middle of the world wars,,,
I legitimately hope this show wins an award. Honestly, all of Watcher's content deserves recognition. It's all just really fun and a great way to enjoy a half hour.
The show will win a reward.... before Ryan does :(
@@JokkeHimSelf Aww #FreeTryinRyan
“Clip clop into the light” is up there with the oar duet
As a current history major in college, I am constantly reading and writing about history, which can be tiring. These videos are a great reminder that history can be fun and brings me joy that reminds me of why I love history. So please never stop Puppet History.
Hopefully you’ll be able to do something with your history major that pays it forward and helps make history fun for the next generation! Best wishes!
"The first death we've had on the show."
Boys, you literally had Death on the show.
Technically, death was already dead 🤔
@@gothicgurl27ify is death dead? I thought death just DID death.
Water is not wet, and thus Death is not dead
Guys he didn't say the first DEAD on the show, he said "the first death". Death is not dead, but Death sure is death.
My roommates: "Bro why are you laughing so much?"
Me: "The horse puppet f*cking DIED"
This story is SO terrifying. Just the thought of dead bodies being frozen in this mess is upsetting.
