A chess skit has NO business being this funny 😂 I can't even pick a favorite part. The "white power" chant, the drone strike, the greenscreen bloopers...all GOLD 😂😂😂
Right! That caused a shriek of laughter. The bishop saying it though made it even funnier, because they move diagonally. A straight line technically. But not really.
Who the heck is Tennison anyway? And why's there a nuclear ballistic missile variation of his gambit? Wish bishop had thought of a scholar's mate. Some jokes about forks or pins would've been fun too! Great that the queen was sacrificed though.
No, I don’t think it’s funny. It’s saying that only the idea of white power is extreme or radical. It actually IS, but is Black or Hispanic or Asian Power supposed to somehow be different or good? NO form of racist ultra-nationalism is ever okay.
If chess pieces were people, the Knight would be that friend who never takes the direct route. "Going to the kitchen? Let me just hop over the couch, zigzag past the table, and... oh look, I'm in the bathroom."
OH MY GOSH. YOU WILL MAKE MY INTP CHESS-FREAK SON EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THIS ONE! Sorry for the all caps, but I’m literally screaming this inside my head. This was BRILLIANT. How did you come up with this? Every little detail-I’m too uncreative a writer to write a comment that does this justice. The glitch with the green screen showing, even that was great. The characters are perfect and you take the piss out of ‘em as if they were, well, people, juuuuusssttt perfectly. My son liked your videos before, but he is gonna love this on a whole new level. It’s like you made this for him (and as his mom, I can appreciate it as well). I didn’t know (or forgot) about the pawn becoming a queen rule. Innnnteresting. Not that I can be any match for my son and even get that far! You must be a chess geek, too. Very cool! Wish you lived near STL, because my family and yours would probably get along so well! -Your Beatles-loving, Höfner-owning, kinda nice INTJ subscriber
You forgot about the pawn promotion rule? You should really solve some chess puzzles on lichess and understand the basics. (Reaching 1000 elo is easy and anyone could do in matter of days,just try to think of the best move that you can play in a position and try to see 2-3 moves ahead and you will get good enough at chess)
From an Italian and Sicilian fan, thank you, Frank, for not putting mafia stereotypes to represent Sicily! ❤ OH MAMMA MIA, THAT'S A SPICY OPENING! - I'm still laughing! ("that's a spicy opening" = "che apertura audace"! ...but the play on words is lost in Italian) Wonderful video!
I love these! You create complete and interesting stories in a matter of minutes :) Love the MacBeth reference and I'm enjoying the short clips at the end, it looks like you're having fun, and it shows.
Let me just say that I recieved a notification with this video while playing a chess game. Also I wanna say that this was hillarious and some of the details are spot on like the resignation by putting the king down and calculating while staring at the ceeling and I love that you made a joke only a chess player can understand.
I felt the ceiling! What a great story teller! The castle being taken out right after castling, the pawn reaching the end and being taken out right after being promoted to queen; this was laugh out loud hilarious! ENTP
This is the most amazing way to make an INTJ happy on his birthday by releasing a video right on that day. And even though it wasn’t addressed to me, I liked it much more than congratulations that constantly annoyed me throughout the day. Thanks 😇
Fraaaaank ❤ you are my safe harbour in the intellectually bland, understimulating, disappointing endless stormy sea of youtube - your long-time ENTP fan
0:10 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 0:28 😂😂😂 No, sorry 0:40 Ahahaha the voice change I love so true 😂😂 What's mvp? 0:53 Haha, “pawns, march!” pawns April! 😂😂😂 1:02 🤣🤣🤣 The jumping.... I love!!! 1:08 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:16 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1:25 I always loved the Queen... But “Hiya!!” a karate Queen made it even better! 1:36 “We don't have drones you morron!” 1:39 😂😂😂 “Ask the ceiling!” 2:41 🤣🤣🤣 2:45 Okay, I got sad now I always loved the Queen.....😭 Pawnsome video!!! It's splendqueen!!!
Knights cant pin, two pawns moved in one turn, what prevented the queen from retreating or killing a pawn, knight moved and killed on a different space from the rook, and how did the pawn not notice the king one square away? Sorry to be that guy.
I feel like Frank said he was in the Chess club in HS 😊 I loved the Heroes journey storyline and Frank beating himself silly lol literally. Great job!!!
On the surface, it's just an entertaining RUclips sketch. Just under the surface however, it's clearly a work of art that tackles social issues like gender inequality, race struggle and trans rights. It really contains a powerful message about the society we live in today. This is truly a masterpiece.
😂😂😂!! Chess is something I've admired, but never felt drawn to. But this. This makes me want to get a chessboard and make random battle cries, preferably with some Italian thrown in (that Sicilian Defense really got me 😂😂☺️) Nicely done!
This is hilarious! I can't believe I never thought of this! I love all the Chess references. Oh btw castling is the King moving two squares towards the rook and the rook moving to the other side, not them simply switching placing. Sorry I needed somewhere to say it, it's really not a big deal, just ignore this.
When the rook and king castle, the black knight immediately killed the rook. This means the on the previous move, the knight was attacking the king meaning 'checking' the king. The rules of chess state that a king cannot castle if in check or the casting way is being 'seen' by an opponent peice
I didn't know you can upgrade a pawn if they make it to the other side!! Although... Perhaps it's because I probably never make it that far - an INTJ failing to live up to chess master stereotypes
Hi fellow-INTJ! I fail that stereotype, too and hate chess. School was like "you're a smart kid you should be good at chess". I could only win through pawn sacrifices and acting like I "overlooked" it to trick others into taking my pawns.
As someone who watches top chess (chess meme channel), i absolutely LOVED this vid, also, as a top chess viewer, when the queen said she was gonna sack herself, I half expected her to say "WAKANDA FOREVER!"
When you jumped in to a situation you don't wanna be in but still won anyway then laughed 😂 feeling kicked is a minor issue, could have been a lot worse 😂
Crashing into the background at the end 😂 the laughing with the paper chess piece flapping about was brilliant lol 😄 I love ''he can't even walk in a straight line'' and the ''go little pawn go'' 😄 can't say I was expecting that battle cry lol 😅 …also I thought some of the legs looked a bit funny, paused to see the knight's legs as he's dropping in 😂 love it lol, great video! 😊
This is hilarious. These impersonations just seem so accurate. And, I also especially enjoyed the tiny little sequence with Sims 4 music in it. I appreciated that.
Fun fact, the names of 2 chess pieces in Spanish are more literal Pawn is Peón (just pawn) Rook is Torre (tower) Bishop is Alfil (still bishop) Knight is Caballo (literally horse, knight in Spanish is caballero, but as the piece is a horse...) Queen & King are Reina & Rey (just queen & king)
This was great - really brilliant!! And not the point of this video, but I'm going to say: Knight = ENTP, Rook=ISTP, Bishop= ISFJ, King=ISFP , Queen=ESTJ, Pawn=ESFJ
For dessert watch "If Cookies Were People" next 🍪 ruclips.net/video/EbzY7tRjn5Q/видео.html
the ICBM gambit reference XD
Shouldn't the bishop be really religious
Just perfect, really good :D!

Right! That caused a shriek of laughter. The bishop saying it though made it even funnier, because they move diagonally. A straight line technically. But not really.
RIGHT, lmaooo
I love how there are actual chess strategies in this, like the Sicilian defense... or drone strikes
Or knights pinning things.
@aydengaming553 Yeah, I noticed it, too

All in all a great episode! That "battle cry" had me rollin' 🤣

The King really went, "I'll be here for you, along side you,. For a few moves at the end maybe."

Please update with a comment on your son’s behalf! I want to know what he thinks too! ❤ Frank James is so funny and clever!!!
Imagining Frank spending his evenings cutting out the pieces....
I love the end where Frank's just laughing! As long as he enjoys doing his channel, I hope he does it for a long time! ❤
I love Frank laughing at the end. Glad he has as much fun making these as I do watching them!
I didn't expect this one to get so violent 👀🤣
Then you're playing it wrong. 🙃

I love to picture that there are actually clones of him just doing this stuff with him
As a chess freak, this was AWESOME!!
the knight pins a knight 💀💀💀
Call in a drone strike!
This is a favorite. I love this one! That hopeful little pawn! 😂 And the battle cry!! 🤣
“Once I make my move, the queen will take me. Then you’re free to check the king.” 1:50
No. Ron, noooo!
There has to be another way!
Do you want to stop snape from getting that stone or not?!

King: "Ask the ceiling"
*Hikaru Nakamura approves* 😂😂😂
did he use that stragy?
Idk what's happening I'm just going to castle

This was beautiful.
Also, I have a new appreciation for the random knowledge I have built up over my years married to a chess enjoyer.
Showed this video to my husband who likes to play chess. He couldn´t stop laughing 🤣
Not only is this some of your best work but the fact that you exuded pure delight while filming made this 🧑🍳 💋
YES HE INCLUDED THE ROOK-KING SWITCH PLAY!!!
"I call it cas... "
For anyone who may not know, it’s called “castling”.
A sketch about chess has no business being this funny, Frank! 😆
LMAO 🤣 This is comedy gold! Don’t think I’ll look at chess the same way again. “Ask the ceiling” 🤣🤣🤣
Hikaru approves
The best part was seeing FJ laughing at the end! 😂
2:44 What a strong silent king 🤣🤣
This just gets better and better! Your sketches are hilarious! Thank you for your world view!
That ending looked like it hoit! I'm happy for the Pawn who would be Queen, though. Hilarious! And great costumes!😂🙌
I loved the pawn to queen transformation. It was like watching a superhero movie, full of the inspirational dramaticals. ROFL
Black's so good, they pinned with a knight.
And that battle cry though 💀
This is the most amazing way to make an INTJ happy on his birthday by releasing a video right on that day. And even though it wasn’t addressed to me, I liked it much more than congratulations that constantly annoyed me throughout the day. Thanks 😇
Checkmate! ❤
Hep birday
😂 OMFG, FJ!!! This and the funeral one are my favourites and I've been here for a while! Brilliant! You're on a splendid wave, bud!
This was hilarious! The battle cry tho.. XD
LOL, the Knight is being all ESTP like @0:04 hahahaha.
The “ask the ceiling” part had me in tears 😭 This is hands down, one of the best “If…Were People” videos you made, FJ
"the knight has me pinned"
*angry chess nerd "actually" noises*
Hahaha I should have thought that one through
Little Pawn can be anything he wants to be
The ending... 😂😂😂
Loved the video!
1:03 AND HE SACRIFICED... THE ROOOOOOOKKKKKK!!!!! 😦
When the pawn went into the “battle cry”, I lost it. 😂😂😂
Not funny to me. Keep ethno-nationalist ideologies out of games.
I just love how he made himself laugh so much 😂

Pawnsome video!!! It's splendqueen!!!
Jost how the heck does he make these things. The timing, editing EVERYTHING is bang on and tight. Bravo 👏
I believe the "drone strike" is also known as flipping over the chess board. 🤣
since it destroys your whole army too I'd say flipping the board corresponds more to an all-out nuclear war with no winners
I love the FJ bloopers at the end of the videos. :)
The only thing better than watching FJ's brilliance in action is watching FJ amused by himself. Thanks, FJ!
1:14 had me dying LMAOOOO
1:08 how does a knight pin a knight?? lmao
This channel brings me so much joy
2:44 the king can’t take the queen(in this case) because he would be putting himself in check
1:05 Knights are one of the few pieces that can't actually pin anything.
The end where he breaks character makes me want a whole video compilation of his bloopers😂
This is a certified frank james banger
Knights cant pin, two pawns moved in one turn, what prevented the queen from retreating or killing a pawn, knight moved and killed on a different space from the rook, and how did the pawn not notice the king one square away? Sorry to be that guy.

I haven't been playing chess for long but this is highly accurate lmao The king and rook switching places really got me 😂
the white power joke wouldn't have worked if not for the pure innocence of the knight and the horror of the bishop and the racist king
Hilarious! I don't even play chess, but loved this.
Chess is my favorite game despite getting into it recently so this is amazing

The reason that Black Pawn is proud of his opening because the Sicilian Defense is such a fun opening.
Why did the end blooper feel more entertaining than the actual skit. Thanks FJ for putting a smile on my face.

This looks great!
thanks!!
Drone strikes are a 4-D chess move.
Hahaha
As a chess player, I always force my pawn to make it to the other side cause I need 2 Queens. More powerrrr
You can still mate without a queen at the end though.. It's good to practice btw. ....Just don't wanna lose it early on.
I got the power🎵🎶

This is exactly how chess feels when I'm playing. The only difference is that the pieces end up scattered around the board with no hope.
