Hell yea I agree. A close second is Mr Ballen… both are great storytellers. Thoughty 2 is way more entertaining and funny. Mr Ballen tells serious tales and ghost stories.
Well as we learned from Zoolander, male models make good spies because they're really, really good looking, and people like them. I suspect the same applies to exotic dancers.
Wow--if her father was a hatter, even before her family fell apart she would have had a rough time, right from the start. You couldn't make hats in those days without absorbing mind-boggling amounts of mercury (literally mind-boggling--it drove hatters mad.) So her life must have been chaotic and traumatic from birth.
I just explained to someone the other day why in Alice in wonderland the characters name was Mad Hatter. Interesting story that a lot of people just don’t know or haven’t heard of
@@cholieandresa It's also a saying: "as mad as a hatter". I don't know if that saying was derived from Alice in Wonderland or that it was used before the book was written.
Lol Fate is such utter fucking trash ass garbage... 🤣 It would have been MUCH better off staying as the trashy hentai visual novel it originally was (aka the story was about as important as any other story in porn... as in not at all beyond being a scaffolding to wrap the sex scene payoff's around) than getting high on its on supply and deciding it actually WASN'T the schlocky "Choose Your Own Adventure, but Porn!" it was and instead some deep, quality story strong enough to support a MASSIVE franchise. 🤷 Without the sex scenes Fate's narrative is about as strong and enjoyable as any other porn movie with the sex scenes ripped out. Aka, not at all. (The only partial exception to this being when Ufotable realized that Fate's story is absolutely fucking trash and cannot support itself, and thus tried to replace all the sex with legitimately insane fight scene choreography instead in UBW.)
Mr. Brownlee is one of those who has almost all of the toys in life, and that's why Thoughty used him to compare to these fictional movie spies. Please recognise a compliment, God, this world really is not ready for beautiful people. Fight over what?? Grammar? Bless your soul.
Another perfectly done video by the ageless wonder that is Thoughty2. Great video as always. Thanks for all the great videos and information over the years. Class act if there ever was one. Also the horizontal diplomacy comment killed me lol.
Wow your sence of humor never fails us. Thank you very much for all your input. I just love the way you tell the stories.. May you be blessed with many more happy years of story telling.... 😅😅
Poor Daisy!* * The stage name she took seems to have been a play on her real name: 'Eye of the Day' ( _mata hari_ in Indonesian), is of course the English etymological root for 'daisy' ( _marguerite_ in French, _Margerite_ in German).
I had heard of her but didn't know the details of her life...and what a life! She was very brave - and ironically for one so desired, ultimately alone. Thanks Aaron - really enjoyed her story...and the plethora of puns. 😂😂😂
I am enjoying some of your video's this morning and I'd like to thank you; for telling the stories in a way that it's possible for me to follow along, even though my eyesight doesn't work too well anymore.
I drank 2 beers, and I eat a bowl of popcorn while watching Matahari story. Even my schnauzer Bingo, was glue to the screen and watched quietly. Keep up the good work sir 🍻
Riveting as usual. It's been a while since I've tuned in, only to find a treasure chest. Exciting topics, Brilliant narration, excellent puns and witty to boot! Thanks!
The first time I heard about this fascinating woman was through a game called Identity V (as all of the game's character's are inspired by historical figures), so it's really cool to get her true condensed story here. I was honestly shocked when I saw the name Margaretha Zelle show up and got instantly excited lol
4:44 That's part of getting divorced. I had to do something like that when I go divorced in the mid 1970's. Post a notice in the local paper, personal section, "I am no longer responsible for any debts other than my own" It's just what you did in 1975.
Hey Ervin here😁 I love what you do and watched all your video back since you’ve started , keep the good work up 💪🏻 I also would like to point out that around 5:17 in the video you’ve mentioned Paris in the 19 hundreds but it shows 1990’s instead I just want to help to get it corrected 😇 All the best mate
Don't capitalize your comments, unless you can't read the letters...in which case I pray you find some readers! Everyone feels like your comment is shouted
Mata Hari does literally mean “eye of the dawn/day”, but in modern Indonesian/Malay it simply means the sun. You’ll be very familiar with her name if you ever get into the language 😌
Hey! Love your content. Why do you always change the name of your videos within the first hours? Is it some kind clickbait trick? Or to trick the algorithm? Just curious.
Something lovely was created in the space between British and American pronunciation. I initially heard "sworded sexuality" (about 13:50), instead of "sordid sexuality". Thank you.
Thank you for this more-in-depth story than I was told in my youth. I was never curious about Mata Hari enough to even google her, but there was lingering curiosity. I believe you have sated that curiosity.
I think the mata hari translate is not quite accurate. Matahari as a single word mean sun, but mata is eyes and hari means days. So its more eyes of the day hence a sun rather than dawn. Dawn in Indonesian is fajar or dini hari (early in days).
My father picked me up from school today, and he brought my phone. I really hope he didn’t look at my notifications, because I’d really hate it if he looked and saw : Why was history’s greatest whatever was an erotic dancer.
It's tough to say that someone who got caught was the greatest spy ever... I would think the best spy went completely unknown lol What a fascinating life though, and like you said, amazingly large metaphorical balls!
I dont know anyone else who changes their video title as many times as you do I always happen to notice it to maybe it's because I started to look for it with you but I find it funny lol
I read a book about her Something like "I spy" or something I don't remember for sure And in that book she was labelled as innocent and writer really loved her lol
Man I love your puns. Best storyteller alive you are!

I'm pretty sure he doesn't write the scripts all by himself but I agree he's really good at telling stories.
I love your channel man, these past days I’ve been absolutely binging your content. Please keep ‘em coming
Seen em’ all, this guys is my first click when he drops.
LOL absolutely same! I just wish there was more I could watch by him 😂
Same 😅
Easy, you can get through them quick. Fortunately they're worth going back to listen again in between uploads.
Me too 😂
Many thanks from this Dutch viewer of your channel. Your video did her life's story more justice than most others.

Really, really, RIDICULOUSLY good looking! Lol
Long cringe
But why male models?
😂
You watched Zoolander and _learned_ something?
Crikey, that's an embarrassing thing to admit to in public!
You have a unique way of story telling. Always capturing the hearts of the listeners
She failed to get any useful information, and was killed shortly into her ops, but was the greatest spy of all time 😂😂😂
*female spy
For real

All of this is nigh common knowledge by this point.

To think she was immortalized in type-moon's fate as a cheery but seductive assassin class heroic spirit.
That's where i know her. :D

Fr even before clicking on the video I knew that the video is going to he about her just by reading the title
@@rias.gremoryyyanyone who played fgo would know who that spy exotic dancer is.
true
Always a good day when Thoughty2 uploads
The injection of that British humour into historical retelling makes it that more enjoyable. 👏👏
Pillow-talk No Jutsu Never fails
Real
I mean...it literally did. She wasn't the great spy everyone made of her and she got killed. 🤷♂️
Remember it's only gay if you make eye contact ...
0:15 I still think Marques has more gadgets than a spy. Fight me.
This guy jhus said they have more gadgets than marques brownlee😂😂😂😂

Literally, while watching your videos I think "this video is so good" every 30 seconds... your content is great!!!!!!!
Youre storytelling is amazing!
Growing up in the Netherlands, I only ever learned of Margaretha Zelle (MataHari) as a war hero 🤔 Several streets and bridges are name after her too 🤗
I had heard of her but didn't know the details of her life...and what a life! She was very brave - and ironically for one so desired, ultimately alone. Thanks Aaron - really enjoyed her story...and the plethora of puns. 😂😂😂

Top notch as always 42, and before I get comments, I know, but unless you know, then you'll probably comment. Brilliant vlog.

Hey

I love what you do and watched all your video back since you’ve started , keep the good work up 💪🏻
I also would like to point out that around 5:17 in the video you’ve mentioned Paris in the 19 hundreds but it shows 1990’s instead
I just want to help to get it corrected 😇
All the best mate
This is an excellent piece of research. I love the clear reasoning and even handed way you deal with facts. Thank You.
Loved the clip. Especially the necrophilac Crack at the end😅
WELL DONE. MY EXWIFE FROM ICELAND HAD A BOUTIQUE IN REYKJAVIK CALLED MATA HARI - I SENT HER A LINK TO YOUR FABULOUS STORY

i haven’t watched your vids in so long. looking great buddy. glad to be back here
This was a good video.
Very tragic tale.
Thank you! 🎉❤❤❤❤

A lot of channels do the same thing. They try to find the optimal video name or thumbnail that gets the most clicks. Click-thru-rate or whatever
great video again. such a coool and valuable chanel.
Such a tragic story, masterfully told.
Something lovely was created in the space between British and American pronunciation. I initially heard "sworded sexuality" (about 13:50), instead of "sordid sexuality". Thank you.
🎉 Brilliant ! Love it !!🎉
With all the double entendres.... well, this just might be your masterpiece.
"He would have had a harder job convincing a fish to stop swimming." lmao okay Douglas Adams
I guess you could say “It's a killer moves”
What a beautiful way for your pronunciation of french words at 5:30 😍
(Living in Quebec, I should know )🤔🤔🤔
“Greatest spy”
Got caught and executed by a firing squad…
Guess the benchmark isn’t too high! 🤣
Let's be honest the greatest spy will never be known and happy about it.
Feels like hes insulting her making fun of her life with that titlte
Thank you for this more-in-depth story than I was told in my youth. I was never curious about Mata Hari enough to even google her, but there was lingering curiosity. I believe you have sated that curiosity.
Well done, thanks for sharing
10:59 Can we all agree that 'travelling to Madrid' just sounds like something horizontal diplomats would do?
Fascinating history.
Great video.. I think the graphic says 1990's, not 1900's.

A video about Yukio Mishima would be surreal..!
Her life was very sad.
She really got the shaft. (many times)
The hard end of the stick, as they say...
She got rogered royally 🙃
Ba Da Boom!
Danm😂😂😂😂😂
As an MKBHD fan who loves Thoughty2, I loved that high-tech reference.
Great video!
At 5:14 - it needs to be 1890s, not 1990s. La Belle Époque is approximately from the 1870 to 1914. Other than that, great video!🤩
Older than a good stilton?! To funny. Love your videos. As a cheese lover I appreciate that humor. Thanks & be well.
It's tough to say that someone who got caught was the greatest spy ever... I would think the best spy went completely unknown lol
What a fascinating life though, and like you said, amazingly large metaphorical balls!
This one was really good 👏
Yes I saw her spying on me in my room last night
Wooo! New Thoughty2!
Great video, as always 🎉🎉
There are more jokes lately. Love it
Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better you uploaded this episode! Much love from New Orleans - keep rocking on!
Loved when Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano) portrayed Mata Hari in Used Karma episode (Season 06 Episode 13 - Used Karma❤
Pretty sure it wasnt in the 1990's at 5:14 🤣
Seriously look forward to new videos from you! I have already binge your entire channel ❤

Lmao love it.
Interesting story, thanks for sharing!
A Thoughty2 video before work? Lets goooooo 🔥
Best content on RUclips are on this channel.
ty
Great video.
5:15
I did not know that in early 1990s, they still rode horses in Paris :D
Beautifully told!
"They have access to more high-tech gadgets than Marcus Brownlee" 00:11 is just too good lmao
She was the scapegoat. Sounds familiar.
OMG. “Had more access to hi tech gadgets than Marques Brownlee” 😂😂
I like your channels!
One of the best channel on RUclips 🔥
this sir, is your best video
The wink at the end of video makes me happy every time!
5:15 Don't think that was the early 1990's 😂
Great video
I read a book about her
Something like "I spy" or something I don't remember for sure
And in that book she was labelled as innocent and writer really loved her lol
I would have learned allot more if Thoughty2 was my teacher.
I mean, for every class 😅
Why do they change the title of the video?
Seen that elsewhere too.
To get more clicks. The algorithm is weird.
Waaaaiiiittt…… 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Norman died from what!? 4:19
How!? 😂🤣 4:19
Great Video... like everytime
Thoughty2 looks like T.I.M from that AI movie on Netflix 😂
