    Look, guys, I absolutely love appearances from Deadpool, Batman, Joker and so on but there's something so special when you guys go down the actual historical figure path. Every time it's so good. I'm not saying the fictional character ones are bad, I can quote the majority of them from heart and love them dearly. These ones just hit so much harder. It's so good.

      Real people's lives are so much more complex and messy than fictional people's, and that means there's just way more material to work with. The bragging, the banter, the insults, and the callouts all hit so much harder because they're all REAL.

      Those who loved Ford, OTOH, claimed it means "first on race day". Unfortunately our house doesn't feel that way: a car with only 54K miles on it needed 7200 for a new engine block. So we traded it for a Nissan.

      My man, Peter and Lloyd are arguably the most engaging content creators on the entire platform as far as I've seen. I've seen them replying to comments on videos months, even years, after the intial upload date. Actively participating in co-creation for their content and reading every single word their viewers write, these absolute legends are the best role models for other creators on this platform by far. If only their upload schedule (on ERB) would be just as perfect.. A man can only dream 🥲

At 0:21 the little dance he does back there got me it looks like he's trying not to laugh. the opening line from karl was so good and the shampoo rebuttal got me lol. i love the contrast is attitudes between them. henry acts so unserious and karl way more serious and i love that about this video. the Eminem line was great. henry getting so grossed out with karl next to him is hilarious. my favorite line from karl was the car crashes one. looking back at this video i'm finding so many great things about it and might be one of my favorites now.

    As a Brazilian, I only got the "Brazilian city" after rewatching the battle. Ford used to have a factory (?) in my country where they harvested what I believe is rubber. They used it to make car tires. The name of the industrial complex is Fordlandia. If I'm not mistaken, it is a ghost town, or a nature reserve by today's date.

    • @vylbird8014
      @vylbird8014 Год назад +61

      It was supposed to be a rubber plantation, but it was an unmitigated disaster. It's often cited as an example of colonial arrogance. Ford sent an all-American administrative team to run the place, refusing to accept any Brazilian in a position other than menial labor. So there was no-one in a position of authority who know about the local culture, weather conditions, ecology, or even the basics of rubber tree cultivation. It was run as if it were a little enclave of American work culture, with laborers expected to live in American-style dorms, served only cheap American food in the company canteen, and generally denied access to any local culture. Also expected to maintain American working hours in the tropical heat and sun, entirely ignoring that this risked heat-stroke.
      The trees were plagued by various diseases and damaging insects because, to maximise production, they were all planted in close proximity creating a dangerous monoculture. The employees were so miserable that they actually rose up in rebellion and shut down the plantation, until the government sent in the army to force them back to work at gunpoint. It never managed to produce any rubber - and some years later, chemists figured out how to turn oil into synthetic rubber, rendering the whole projust instantly obsolete. The town was abandoned for decades, aside from squatters who moved in out of desperation because the housing was still somewhat liveable.

    • @itsybitsycherry
      @itsybitsycherry Год назад +26

      Adding more context to this, as a fellow Brazilian - Fordlândia was a total failure and was given up on just a few years in, thanks to absurd labor conditions and just terrible agricultural planning in general. A 2009 article reported “not a single drop” of rubber made it to a Ford car.
      It did become something of a ghost town for a few decades afterwards, but got a population boost in the late 2000s and is now reported to house around 3000 people.

    The incredible part is over the years, you can tell that ERB has gone deeper and deeper into the historical rabbit hole and actually has made a critical arguement for each person.
    We went from two fascists throwing words to one another to basically a firm handed reality share that maybe Ford stimulated the best and worst of American dominance over production.
    Not to say Marx got his share of heat, but wow that finale.
    Big love ERB, thanks for walking with me from high-school well into my happy adulthood.

      Marx was not a fascist....he was the leader of the communist movement which was going on at that time and butted heads historically at that time with fascism.
      I agree though! This was great!

    The instrumental for this one is incredible! I especially love how during Henry Ford’s first verses the beat sounds like a machine working, it’s super creative.

    Karl's delivery at the end was clean, especially his final line. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Almost forgot how much I missed these. My day is a bit brighter now.

      Hey, remind me, how many people did Hitler kill, exactly? While you're googling that, can you also google the same thing but for Stalin and Mao? Thanks.
