Thanks for watching SoloFamGangArmyWarriors! Hope you liked this episode and the origins of Paul Bunyan! I had a lot of fun during the research portion of this one. I thought it was hilarious/awesome that our boy Paul may have actually been a real dude AND that the stories about him basically served as a gentle hazing for greenhorns in the woods 😂 Learning that simple camaraderie between “blue collar” workers gave birth to an American legend is one of the many reasons I love the series.
Don’t forget to comment YOUR thoughts down below along with any recommendations you have for future episodes!
Rock on and stay awesome man. Hope ur healing up ok. 👍
Glad to see you recovering well, Jon! Great vid!
What's up with the Waste Management shirt seems out of place

Hows your back ? I've been praying for your healing. I understand how chronic pain can be I've been in pain since Dec 21,2014.
It makes living everyday life hard.
I’m a 6th generation logger. I grew up hearing all the Paul Bunyan stories in logging camps from Canada to North Carolina. My Grandpa even loved to tell the new guys that he had worked for Paul’s grandson when he started and had “Bunyan” carved on his ax handle as proof the he had got the ax from his grandson.
That sounds cool. Being a logger sounds like an interesting profession, as is listening to the stories as they would have originally been told. Like listening to a bard sing the Iliad in Greece.
Imagine the stories the 1st generation could’ve told. Ahah
Paul Bunyan was the Chuck Norris of his time!
oh..... im a lumberjack and im ok
@Charles Xavier Then go live homeless with the stars for your roof and the wind as your walls if you disagree with a wooden house so much.
jon: YOU are watching messed up origins
me, missing jon and sobbing: YE S. I AM ✊😣
@Baddie B same
Baddie B Elvis is that you?
No Body 😂😂😭
I don’t get it
@Baddie B same and it's 9:30pm
Paul Bunyan is clearly Chuck Norris
If he lived in Minnesota.
No, Chuck Norris grew from Paul Bunyan's beard 🙄
No Paul is chuck norris son
No, you are all wrong! Paul is Chuck's grandfather!
don't compare internet memes to American Folklore.
Those nine dislikes are for the people you called out not knowing what skillshare is.
No, I didn't dislike. And I am definitely part of those nine.
Lol were you one?
Likes at 10K, dislikes at 63. I was tempted to dislike to get that to 69.
😂
"Anything to avoid a lawsuit" is the most relatable sentence today!
Would like to hear more like this. Maybe like Johnny Appleseed, Davy Crockett and such. Even just more on Paul Bunyan
Yes!
Don't forget about Daniel Boone, Pecos Bill, or John Henry either
Johnny Applebloom?
hummm....... from what i remember, there is a VERY high possibility that Johnny appleseed was a real person, where as Davy Crockett most certainly was a real person. Another nice story might be Rip Van Winkle, but then again his story is more of a commentary about life at the time.
@@okami-shaman9548 Yes, Davy Crocket was definitely a real person. He was a Congressman from Tennessee (I'm from Tennessee, so he's one of the big state historical figures we learn about in school). He died in Texas at the Alamo.
when you realize that paul bunyan has been in the gravity falls intro the whole time
holy shit never thought that
9:40 “Throwing a 40 oz on the ground and yelling: SCATTER!!!”
Ah, a John Mulaney reference.
Now you just *have* to do the rest of the classic American Tall Tales. Johnny Appleseed, Pecos Bill, John Henry, Davy Crocket...
Lainey Bug especially since Disney did something on all of them
John Henry is kind of sad
and Bill Brasky!
Dont forget the truck driving legend "bandit"
Lainey Bug 🐞 😊
When are we going to see The Swan Princess?!??? I've been waiting for literally almost a year to see that video
Yeah! That would be a good one too!
I agree that would be brilliant.
Yassss
@@100percentNotaBot that would be good too.
I also want to see a Messed Up Origins of The Swan Princess episode
10:41 "Hi! I'm Paul!"
Anyone remember when they used to show that after Jimmy Neutron?
We literally studied Baron Münchhausen in grade school because literally everyone and their grandma knows about him and his exaggerated stories here in germany.
Like, as far as I remember, his stories were so exaggereted, the germans had no word to describe how insanely made up they are so they invented the term 'Lügengeschichte' (Lie Story).
I've been binge watching these for the whole day.
Loving your content ❤️
Elisha So Dude! I’ve been doing the same thing! It’s super addictive
I binge watching so far three days and got a lot of people doing it too.
Yh he's so good at deciphering and breaking down stories. Glad ur a believer 😄👍
Ya thanks Jongasm
Elisha So Same, I searched Little red riding hood origin and *BOOM* 😂😂
We don't talk about him *long pause* that was great😂😂😂
(Thanks for the likes guys)
I literally died when that happened 😂😂😂
Killed me 🤣🤣
کولد
Time? XD
I don’t get it?
I swear man, deadpan delivery gets me every time. Never change my guy, never change.
Minnesota girl here! As a kid you always hear stories of Paul bunyan and babe, if yall wanna see how hard we go look up the Paul bunyan statues! There are quite a few scattered throughout northern MN. We even have cities logos and a theme park focused around him and his adventures!
Ali Chalberg theres a paul bunyan statue in tucson, az that has to be 10-15 food high. a few years back someone stole his axe and it has never been recovered.
“For the nine of you who don’t know” about skillshare
Me: . . . I’ve been spotted 😂
Sorry Solo
John Henry next?
I do, I just don’t take advantage of the ads lol
Ha your funny 😂
I agree that he should do John Henry next
Sanic Is disappointed in you Nope. I’ve used RUclips for a long time. I guess what I said made me sound like a newbie did it? 😅 I’ve been one of Solo’s subscribers for a while, so I just wanted to poke some fun since I was probably one of the nine he mentioned in the video lol.
@@Fragglerocker93 I guess I am one of the nine too. Yes, I fast forward and skip these kinds of advertisements.
There’s a giant cool Paul Bunyan statue in Duluth, MN with his blue ox that I’ve seen. Really nice
We have a few of them here in MinnesotaLand. Lol
There's a whole amusement park in Brainerd, MN
Bemidji also
Paul Bunyan: Larger than Life! 😁
Anyone else remember Tall Tale, the movie where a bunch of tall tale characters (Bunyan, Pecos Bill, Slue Foot Sue, John Henry)came together Avengers style?
Can you maybe do videos on the messed up origins of King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Thor?
Loki to
Might be a long video there is a LOT out there about King Arthur. Me, I’d rather hear about the Lady In The Lake. Or Merlin.
Yassss
Harriet Tubman
MaTriXXX C. Thompson We can’t find everything about her life because we weren’t there. All we know is that she suffered and she made the Underground Railroad. More small details but I not finna say those
I grew up hearing that Paul Bunyan was based on a French Canadian man.
I live in Minnesota and know the original story behind Paul Bunyan. Maybe I'll hear something different after this.
the name is jos monteferrand and hes awesome
Chad Falardeau Did he surrender and apologize for it
now that you mention it, i think i remember hearing a version of him in french class back in grade school 🤔🤔
@@iamlightboo they dont. You have to look ib special books
I love how he can say an Elvish word perfectly, but misspoke Posthumous.
Geeks, don't you just love them?
Paul Bunyan could have been like Casey Jones? A real person whose story got bigger and better the longer people talked about him? Like a crazy game of Telephone.
Like Chuck Norris? His "legend" gets crazier and crazier, only everyone knows it's a joke.
To our fearless leader John Solo...which is a cool ass name by the way, I as I'm sure alot of others have noticed the pauses and slick jokes you use in your storytelling and I wanted to say...do your thang homie they are hilarious. I love this channel. I am your Florida neighbor here in Jacksonville..you know Jaguar country.
Haha! Hey thanks man. Glad you like the style :) I’ve got a few more months down here in Florida! It’s been awesome but I’ve gotta do the Cali RUclipsr thing ja feel?
You should do Black Folklore, like John Henry. That's the black Paul Bunyan.
It would be cool if he started doing less known folklore
I looove the story of John Henry. he’s def on my list
He just did the John Henry video if you didn’t see it yet! I just watched and now I’m here.
if you haven't seen it yet I just posted a new video about John Henry last week :)
Yay! I love Paul Bunyan stories!
I grew up in both Michigan and Minnesota so the Paul Bunyan mythos was a large part of my childhood. One of the last family outings I recall before my father passed away was going to see the giant Paul and Babe statues at Pioneer Village. Great memories!
Hope your recovery is going well, Jon. :)
So glad to have found this. Growing up in Minnesota I always wondered where he came from.
I really hope you're healing well, man 🖤 and great video once again!
Paul Bunyan where our pancakes are good... but not too good, eh?
Ignore my phineas and ferb reference
@Ronnie its something that starts with a b but i can never remember it so i say pancakes
They just say food I think.
Well i guess i was wrong twice
I literally was singing that line two minutes into the video 😂
Think that’s a Cracker Barrel reference? ^_^
"Basically the logger equivalence to throwing a forty on the ground and shouting "SCATTER!"" Nice reference my dude XD
I swear your you are one of my most favorite shows I'm always checking to see when a new video comes out.... Keep up the good work
Ooo can you do origins of the elves and the shoemaker? That takes me back to nostalgic times
Rae A, what do you think about The Messed Up Origins Of Monster in my pocket
Do John henry, and John Chapman!
ah, John Chapman was real.. IF not quite the 'jonny appleseed' of folklore.
Just out of curiosity, are you wearing a Waste Management shirt? Interesting choice.
I came to the comments to find out that exact thing!
@@steviehottman6239 I think it has to be one. Who else does the WM thing like that in those colors? On the instruments I build, I do a W sitting on top of the M so it's one frog looking thing, but it's not in those colors. Usually in pearl or different woods. It's got to be a Waste Management shirt.
It is, I see that logo every day
@@willmorrison1022 it says Waste Management below the logo. It’s a real WM shirt. Odd to see anyone wearing one.
❤️ Love this series soooo much!! Always excited when I get a notification. One of my favorite cartoons as a kid was the Paul Bunyan story. Keep up the great work Jon!
"Give the like button a shoulder rub that's not at all appropriate for the work place."😂 The episode just isn't complete until after you get in a dig at some pop culture icon or another and I love it.😆
Mary Nicholson I’m glad someone appreciates my cheesy humor 😁
Was that.....was that a John mulaney reference?
I was gonna ask that, 😂 I love John mulaney. I'm surprised there aren't more comments about that.
@@jlsmythe1536 ikr? I was looking in the comments for something about it
Dude, I was seriously starting to think I was the only one who got the reference
Yooo what's up y'all? 😂😂😂
maaaaybe 🙃 good eye!
Good to have you back! We’ve missed you
I've always wondered about that ones origins. Nice work!
Great vid! 😊👍 Maybe think about doing Davy Jones and they Flying Dutchman next?
Again welcome back!
Can we do Johnny Appleseed, also are you going to continue doing mythology videos?
Love your content and your personality.
The characture of Johnny Appleseed is actually based on Bill Brasky, all except for the parts about planting apple trees and... not raping men
I really enjoyed this one!! Great content Jon!!
Congrats on 539k 🥳 these help me fall asleep I’m glad you’re recommended to me! I hope you’re recovering well
I found your channel a few days ago and now i am obsessed, love your videos💜😊
can you do John Henry next? I learned about him way back in the third grade and never forgot him because he was so fascinating to me
I remember the Puppetoon about John Henry...and a few years later hearing his ballad sung by different singers.
Hahaha I don't know if it was your suggestion but Jon listened
I like all the great work you do on your videos. Never stop making more videos.
I want more Paul Bunyan stories!!
This is honestly one of the most interesting episodes yet, great work 👏👏❤
I honestly forgot Paul Bunyan "existed"
I literally watched almost all your messed up origin stories due to the fact that it help me when I’m drawing
Thanks love your content keep going
Omg that I was the only one who felt this way. Most of the ink illustrations I did during Inktober last year were against his videos. Love it!
I love this series sooo much! I would love a follow up episode with more stories about Paul 💙 I also cant wait for another episode of the mythology explained!
Your videos are awesome thank you for making them!
Glad ur back😊 would love to hear the origin story of the Jolly Green Giant
An advertisement firm created a character to sell canned vegetables. The end.
The thumbnail made me think it was a messed up origins on Homer Simpson lol
Adam', Jon Solo should do The Messed Up Origins Of Simpsons one day 😎😂😉😊
Love your videos bro! My girl and I go through "solobinge" sessions and honestly it's a great trip back into my own childhood and the movies and stories ive seen growing up. Keep doing your thing fam!
1. I love your vids!
2. I've been waiting!!
3. I've binged these like crazy!
Thanks for This!
So basically tall tells about Paul Bunyan are the equivalent of modern day Chuck Norris jokes. Gotcha!
Love your vids btw! Keep up the good work! :) 🖤
Awesome job on this one! Michigan native who grew up hearing the tales of Paul Bunyan and Babe. Keep up the great work 👍🥰
I live in Wisconsin, and if you go up Near Minocqua Paul Bunyan is literally everywhere
I'm looking forward to hearing the messed up origin of "The Little Red Hen".
John: The equivalent of throwing a forty on the ground and yelling "scatter!"
Me: ....that tall child looks terrible....
I have been a subscriber for a year and a half now and I never get bored of your content :3
I found this video very interesting. Thanks!
I've never heard of this dude, but I'ma watch it anyway 'cuz *IT'S JON.*
Same
A 30 mile away from my town theres a 30foot tall paul and babe statue. First they had to remove the slong that was on babe because children then someome got but hurt and spray painted in a slong so the whole statue had to be repainted
i loved the paul bunyan folktales. hey next time could you do johnny appleseed or john henry, john henry was always my favorite next to pecos bill. amazing video
When I was in elementary school we used to learn about the folktales of America: Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, Johnny Appleseed, and John Henry. Unfortunately by the time my younger brother was in school they no longer taught these folktales. I remember learning them in the 3rd-4th grade so I just naturally assumed he learned them too so one day I asked him who his favorite American folktales legend was and he replied by telling me that he’s learned of Johnny Appleseed but no one else.
It’s kinda sad that more and more people are forgetting these legends
Liked it. It was fun to hear. Thanks
YOUR CHANNEL IS AWESOME! May I make a suggestion for a future video? Johnny Appleseed!
Someday, Chuck Morris will just be a legend, and Jon Solo's great-great-great-great grandson will spell out his messed up origins!
Right on! Definitely do another.
Growing up in michigan we always did this story and im so happy youre doing this!!
Do Pecos Bill, John Henry or Honey dipper Dan next.
7:38 I’m now deeply concerned for your cousin.
Welcome back Jon!
These episodes are so fun. It’s amazing how much people can learn about the darker origins of many favorite properties
*hits like before the video even starts*
It's 8 in the morning, Jon! Like what the heck, man?
JK, really appreciate you making my day though in the morning. Thanks for another great Messed Up Origins video!
So glad I came across this channel! Always been researching these types of things on my own! It would be great if you do Maleficent next!
Another awesome ep
I’ve never been early before! Yay 😃
Are you going to cover Johnny Appleseed?
I heard he was also an American tall tail some claim to be true beneath all the lore.
Johnny Appleseed is based on Bill Brasky. All except for the parts about planting Apple Trees and not raping men.
Hey I just wanted to let you know that you're fantastic I love that you tell these stories they are awesome I love your videos thank you for all your work
I love this series! This is so interesting!
Could you make a video about the Chupacabras? I would totally love it :D
I be so happy when I get a notification
Fun video! Cant wait for paul bunyan part 2!
I've been watching every video since I found your channel ❤️ I love it!
7:39 what if his cousin is one of the blue people of Kentucky?! 😂
WAIT A MINUTE-
I also love wearing my Waste Management, Inc. tee shirt just for no reason
YOUR BACK YAY
I've always been very fascinated with the story of Paul Bunyan. My parents and I would take vacations out west, and sometimes would come across Paul Bunyan folklore. I hope that you're healing well and that you aren't suffering too much pain. Thumbs up, as always.
@Jon Solo, so Paul Bunion is Chuck Norris?
Lol I got the blue cousin lol. If u know blue people were into doing brothers and sisters that caused a dna that caused their skin to be blue
Wot
What, I thought he was outside all winter and died, it makes your skin turn blue.
Glad I am not the only one. 😅
I'm not sure about that but I do know ingesting a large enough amount of silver oxide will turn your skin blue
Monday's insanity It’s called methemoglobinemia. It’s actually a real thing. Google it, there’s pictures.
I actually loved it. I don't watch very many but still, this one is my favourite of all the ones I've seen... seen about 30. Good stuff♥
Being from Minnesota I love hearing his stories
I cant say first but Notification Squad👌
Could you do a messed up origin on Thumbelina? 😄
I would LOVE a video on just the stories about Paul Bunyan!
I think you'd be great at standup, Jon :) Your one-liners and delivery are so entertaining!
