#MessedUpOrigins #YuleLads #Gryla
My Yule Lad name would be lore lecturer,I break into people's houses while they sleep and wake them up to tell them all the details of spongebob lore
thats great
The only Yule lad I'd welcome
That is oddly specific
*C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G SONG!!!*
the only one i'd welcome
I’d be “Pastry Maker” and I would basically bake all night long for myself, using up all the ingredients in the kitchen and leave my mess for you to clean up
Thanks!
You monster!! 😂
Lol, I’d probably leave behind something I made as a gift though
Ah, so my brother?
😂 I love that lore, I would definitely be the same! (My bad for being so late to comment, I'm new to this channel-)
"Homie wasn't just a freak who eats wax" 😂😂😂
If I was a Yule lad I'd be "the un-plugger" Whenever some one tries to charge their almost dead phone I will un-plug it and wait until they notice the next day
I don’t know how this guys voice is so sarcastic but informative at the same time.
Pipe clogger has many talents.
It's what I love the most about Jon
It's his Bwastan Accent
Lmao I was thinking that but didn’t know the words to describe it
The best part is when he does the jokes, you gotta catch it cuz the tone doesn’t change
If I was a Yule Lad I'd be "Skillet Scorcher", who burns up your pans and food if you turn your back for a moment.
I'd be your twin!
You’d be the scariest one!
skittle?
@@just_foxy35 not skittle, skillet. A fry pan.
@@Marialla. it was a reference, nvm
I'm not sure what my name would be, but I keep picturing Icelandic dads making up new names, while mom giggled in the background.
If I was a Yule-lad, I'd be
"paint-drinker"
I accidentally drink artsy kids' paint water
Did you taste the rainbow or did your soul turn black?
@@thrownaway6020
A mix of both
Y'all get yourself a man who can do both like this guy @@trashking471
paint water is for rookies, you gotta drink the paint straight. my favorite flavor is semigloss red
@@Emma-ou6jq
True true, however, why aren't we talking about the superb flavor of Navy Blue?
“Stool softener and butt wipes” I mean honestly, the big man probably needs them! 😂
All those cookies and all that milk has to go somewhere 🥴
I might use the stool softener one day.
I suggested leaving beer out one year. Like in an ice bucket to keep it cool because Florida is hot as shit.
“Cane smacker”
I would smack naughty individuals with my cane size candy cane
I'm Icelandic and want to say:
"They were not dwarves, they were trolls"
I would totally be "sock snatcher" the washing machine will be nothing compared to me
Id be fine with it as long as you gave the stolen socks to house eleves to free them
Honestly, that's a relief. Given this is the internet I think we can agree that stealing socks isn't the worst you could do to them. At least you aren't "sock cruster" the lad whose unspeakable acts allow unattended socks to stand up independently.
*"Sausage Swiper"*
That sounds wrong on so many ways
What if modern Sausage Swiper was the guy who caused you to need little blue pills?
😏😏😏
I mean...its better than small balls
Swiper no swiping!
@@swolby9230 Oh, thanks I had a completely different visual.
I wouldn't want wake up too that under any circumstances. Okay maybe a long lonely winter.
"and you're going to be grateful Deric!"
I'm dead lol
I would be “Clothes Tightener” and sew everyone’s clothes tighter during the holidays!
You naughty girl......huh huh👀
You are evil
@@aimeea.3775 You can't take a joke.
You monster!!!
Now that’s evil!!!! I’m in!! Lmao
I'd be "moody moaner". I'd wake everyone up to listen to me moan about my life for an hour and expect to be provided with snacks and Irish cream throughout
If I were a Yule Lad I would be "Yarn Weaver", and I would weave all yarn and string that I could find into braids and leave them scattered around your hallways
After Norse myth I feel like he should do Celtic mythology
And Finnish
And Native American and Hinduism.
Yeees
Aboriginal myths.
Egyptian
I would be "Food Hider". Where I'll take old leftover foods and hide them in the most inconvenient places in the house. Causing their house to smell like old rotten food.
You forgot to mention that they leave one day at a time, the first one on the 25th december and all the way till the 6th of january and that is the final day of christmas in Iceland and it's called ''the 13th'' and we are allowed to shoot fireworks and in some places they have a big fire and some people dress up as Grýla, Leppalúði and some of the yule lads and say goodbye to christmas. Just a side note, they are also trolls not dwarfs. But I loved this video (like every other video) and as an Icelandic person I can say this is all true, and sometimes kids leave out skyr for Skyrgámur and candles for Kertasnýkir and meat for Ketkrókur and stuff and parent sometimes slam doors for Hurðaskellir.
If I were a Yule lad I would be called "Crayon Craver" I would just take the kids art supplies and draw and color all over the kids room so in the morning they have to clean it up. Maybe they'll learn to clean this way
"Crayon Craver" sounds like a Marine's alter-ego.
I'd be your brother "Crayon Breaker". I can't use a crayon without snapping it in two. Not since preschool, almost 70 years ago.

"Money exchanger"
To take money from people and exchange it with gifts.
So Christmas shopping ?
That’s already taken, it’s called Target. It’s evil lol happy holidays
capitalism?
sounds more like the "forceful merchant"
*wakes up on Christmas with no credit card and a random toy car*
I would be Light bulb Liberator, going through the houses and removing all the light bulbs and leave them in the sinks.
When you say you have a question Gunter turns his head to listen haha so cute.
even cuter is with every word he turns to him more XD
"evidently they do, this one has a bra"
*WHEESE*
your'e kinda cute
I'd be Shoe-Stealer. I'd steal everyone's left shoe
That's delightfully evil.
they'd definitely make it easy for you if that was the shoe they left out for gifts
Stitch, is that you?🤨🤣
@@Pastel_Dreams I was wondering how long it would take someone to get the reference
@@mailinhkhamphanh7314 left won the coin toss
Christmas in Icelandic sounds super similar to Jul in Swedish, here in Sweden there is a tradition that on the day before Christmas 23 of December you put out a special kind of a porridge called risgrynsgröt (rice pudding in English) for yard Santa (this is a direct translation in Sweden its gårdstomenit this being also has also a different name that is home Santa or hemtomten) in Swedish folklore say that is you if don't put out the risgrynsgröten the yard Santa would become angry and take some kind of revenge. I don't remember what kind of revenge it was...
in my family, we have translated this tradition for modern times in the way that Santa would eat the porridge because we in Sweden don't set out cookies and milk.
In Sweden Santa is some kind of a mix between Santa Claus and the house Santa and a fun fact about how we celebrate Christmas in Sweden is that Santa doesn't come to us ding the night and deliver presents he comes to our house through the door or chimney and hands out presents after the whole family watches Donald ducks Christmas or Kalle ankas Jul Santa is usually played by the dad of the family after an iconic phrase in Sweden which is I forgot to by a newspaper i gotta go buy one or another item (in which in Swedish is Jag glömde köpa tidnigen jag måste gå och köpa en ny tidning ) (John good luck butchering this phrase in a video) and then leaves after that Santa walks through the door and starts handing out presents to the family.
Would "Bong Hitter" ge too on-the-nose?
lmao I'll allow it.
a lot of names are on-the-nose
Everybody gangster until "VERY" is in the title
Lol true true
Me and my little sister's are so Excited 🥳💜💜💜
I'd be Fabric Filcher. Going around and stealing random pieces of clothes and fabric that I'd then sew into my ever-growing patch coat.
Jon I sincerely hope you know that you’re the reason my phone is always on 1% and I wish you were my teacher growing up
I’d be “Bottle Binger.” I’d sneak into the liqueur cabinets and drink all the booze. Then I would put the bottles into recycling. For everyone without recycling bins, I’d smash the bottles around their house.
How considerate 👌🏻😁
There’s an episode of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina that features Gryla and her Yule Lads. I was always curious about them but never got through much research. I love this episode!!!
part 4 coming on the 31...
I remember that episode
There's also an episode of "Hilda" about these guys.
If I was a Yule lad I would be called literature-lecturer, I would sneak into houses and read people passages form my favorite books over and over
Progress stopper: deletes the most recent save file to start a new game 😈
I would be called "Egg Hoarder"
I would sneak into chicken coops, steal their eggs, and eat them RAW
Gordon Ramsay will be *proud* of your wise decision
Tbh I would probably be the one stealing the chickens, lol. But i wouldnt eat them
Have you ever ate/drank a raw egg?🥴
I would be the “hat swiper”
I would get in throw their chimney and steal all their coats and hats!
I would be “Crop Duster” and I would fart in all the houses that doesn’t give me food
lol its grýla not grÿla ÿ isn’t an icelandic letter
I would love to see a messed up origins of Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet/Black Pete sometime!
He has mentioned him in the messed up origins of Krampus. I know iets not the same!
@@Anita-nx8ye what do you think about The Messed Up Origins of Peppa Pig
@@tijanamilenkovic3425 as far as I know jon solo hasn't don that story yet!
My older brother used to used “pooped in that hat” as his password for stuff, I imagine that would make a good Yule lad 😂🤣
Would he go around dropping Yule Logs?
I get this guy has 920k subs but he is underated as HELL bro
Premier the og gang is pumped. Can’t wait for 1 million.
I can imagine historians laughing as they translate the names for all the Yule lads
Edit: I’d be Sheep-licker, I’d lick the sheep so they’re so uncomfortable they stop producing milk.
Ewe!
But...what if they like it?!! Got Milk???
I'd be 'Cat-Hair'. Leaving cat fur in every little piece of food that someone intended on eating. Especially if they hate cats.
Even satan thinks that's messed up. I'm allergic to cats so I'd be dead within the hour. Love the idea tho it's so evil it's good!
My family would die if visited us. I would be the sole survivor. I fear the yule lad names CAT HAIR
I'm impressed! His pronunciation isn't that bad, I come from Iceland and pretty proud of Jon.
*Also, WHY THE HELL DON'T OUR TEACHERS TEACH US ABOUT THE OTHER YULE LADS FORGOTTEN WITH TIME!?*
Their mum just takes the cake. I'm mean wow that's some description.
Sausage swiper I wonder if he's ever been to prison🤣🤣
⛄Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄🦌🎅⛄
Merry Christmas to you too😊😊😊😊🙃🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁
Merry Christmas!!!
@@kymalascarlett8871 thank you 😊 and you too 🎄⛄🎅🦌💜
@@trulypatrice thank you and merry Christmas 🎄🦌💜🎅⛄
Merry Christmas /Buon Natale
Can't wait to see this new vid!
Why do I feel like this is how the 7 dwarfs became a Disney thing as well as the 12 days of Christmas..? 🤔
When I woke up a while ago I was not expecting to see a sheep wear a bra
"disappointment"....yes that would be my name
I laughed so hard at the stool softener and wipes. I’m sure Santa appreciates them 😂 Awesome video!
Someone I know has their b-day on Krampus day
Hey Jon I can't wait to see next week's video of of a messed up origin of the Christmas carol. But please try and hopefully upload another video the next week after that of the Mastiff origin of the Nutcracker if you can. Or at least one of the characters.
Everyone remember when the ball drops we yell Jumanji. So we know this year is over
I could be the cat whisperer I would take my cats into your house and pet them by the fire
So he ate her husbands so she's basically a spider.
Maybe a praying mantis?
@@blackbway what do you think about The Messed Up Origins of Puppy in my pocket adventures in Pocketville
Candle stealer I bet it's slim pickens nowaday for him since most homes have electricity now.🕯🕯🕯💡💡💡
I'd be lace stealer stealing shoe laces😂😂😂👟love the content Jon
“Fart doer”
I would release a huge fart that would kill all your livestock. 😁 don’t question it
Awesome
Maybe it could be harnessed for electricity ⚡️ The gassy gift that keeps on giving!!!
8:14 or your daughter doing the renegade
My sister's are enjoying it
I would be the "quiet doodler" I would steal all the good art supplies and leave a bunch of drawings all over the house if you don't give me a shoe full of food!
Maybe Coco snatcher Still everyone's chocolate and replace it with coco colored dirt or rocks but leave gifts
Anyone remember this lore from chilling adventures of Sabrina?
@@Sam-Sung. *yes finally Someone who know hilda*
"Wedgie-giver". I just randomly give people wedgies
You KNOW the modern version of these would be so lame.
Unpaid Overtime Worker. Whoever sacrifices the least amount of personal time to the company? Your kids getting sent to a sweat shop in undisclosed location!
I’d be book thief I would steal any books left on tables at night.
These Yule Lad names sound a lot like the Garbage Pail Kids names.
I've been called a sausage swiper a couple of times. 😏🌈
I would be "Nightmare Giver" (I'm bad with names), I just wanna traumatize some children by making them dream about their biggest fears.
So your name could be Freddy Kreuger-er
It's that time of year to celebrate Pagan Traditions but just put a christianize and secular lens on it. Merry Sol Invictus Day/Happy Holiday.🌞🌞🌞
Blessed be
well they say the first santa was odin and well christians celebrate pagan things around xmas as most of it is pagan thing... still i wouldnt mind the sex festival instead with bunch strangers instead the family dinner
Merry Saturnalia!!
I 'd be Noise Maker. I'd just hang out in a corner or closet somewhere and make weird pterodactyl-like noises in the middle of the night.
Definitely Cat-Stealer. Just take someone’s cats? I’m fine with that😂
HI! I'm the first comment!
TeamPatrick1017 Hello!
your stuff's getting better and better. Great delivery
This brings me joy, i intend to watch it multiple times Merry Christmas!
I love this episode. I’m very glad that you are doing better now. I was very concerned. I take pride in being a Solocup. Thanks Jon.
so glad your feeling better Jon
Hello! Solo fan here and just wanna say I'm happy your feeling better and love your content 💓
I've been moving house so it's been a bit chaotic but im all finished now. Im so happy to still have you in my phone for more story's and folklore
I just realized your videos are divided up in to chapters on the time bar thats so cooool! its the small things y'all.
This one was really good! I am so so glad you decided to cover the Yule Lads. Jon is pretty damn funny! 😂
I have to say this is one of the most funniest ones you've done so far.
How appropriate, I just watched this episode of Hilda the other day. This explains why Candle-Snatcher complained when he ate Hilda's candle, it was a modern wax one.
I never heard of the lads until now. Thanks for the intro!
In Hilda's season 2 on Netflix they have a whole episode! I love that animated show, it's really insightful, the characters are great and the colours are very cozy 🥰 great video, as always!
I can't believe it's been a whole year since I watched the messed up origins of Krampus D8 These Yule Lads and their names are a bunch of fun XD Great video and excellent content as always. I'm quite intrigued by the Christmas Carol video, can't wait. Happy holidays, Solo Fam.
This is one of the most entertaining episodes I've seen cheers and thankyou Jon Solo xo :)
My favorite series to watch when either doing homework or playing tetris lmao, either way, love your videos!
Merry Christmas Jon!🎄
A longer video, hopefully means you're feeling better for the holidays. This enby enjoys.
Pipe-clogger 😂😂😂 I was so happy to see you do an episode on these guys, they're fascinating
Happy Holidays, Jon & Gunter! :D
This is cool, I was watching Hilda season 2 last night and there was an episode with the yule lads, didn't realize it was a real folk lore
Thanks Jon Solo for always doing these cool videos! If you happen to have any needed suggestions, I was wondering if you'd be able to cover a video over some African folklore and/or African folktales please? There are some interesting ones I thought were really cool like the Biloko creature (also known as the "Eloko"), Anansi the spider (I believe Disney did a cameo of him in Gargoyles), and many others. Have a Merry Christmas btw!
You’re so close to 1 mil. I hope you reach it soon☺️
