34:05 No one's talking about how the "complex victory algorithm" has actually been real this entire time and not just the Professor's excuse for Ryan losing.
🤯I know, right?!
I mean we don’t really know for sure the Professor didn’t just choose to ignore the results when they were in Ryan’s favor for four seasons 🤷♀️
To be fair, the Professor could have been rigging it all along, only he did it to make Ryan *lose* until now!
@@Karin_Allen no but the beef boy is stupid
I mean if the Professor was born 66 million years ago (again) what if he had to ignore the algorithm to create his own villain arc?
I like how this show started as Shane and Ryan goofing around with their friends while Shane talks about history with a silly puppet, and now it's evolved into this fully fleshed out story arc with the deepest lore.
Its hotdaga x10000000000000
I get the feeling it's impossible for Shane to carry on an extended conversation about *anything* without generating lore. 🤣
Man i wish shane was here. is he behind the camera or?...
Lmao no I know what even happened
where was Shane?
I can't believe nobody is talking about Ryan and Brian both picking C and the professor not doing the C dogs bit
That's how you know it's a fake professor the real profecer would never forget his sea dogs
@@soulbound2 yes
That’s how you know he’s been trying to distract us with some “b boys?!” Joke as if it wasn’t always c dogs! The original professor would NEVER 😢
@@estellamarieann3062
B boys happened before C dogs
Sea dogs*******
I love how last season they were like "Okay, we won't do any more lore!" And now it's nothing but lore and I am THRIVING
Just love the confirmation that it was never rigged against Ryan, just that the algorithm considered a bunch of other factors other than quiz points.
Remember that first handful of episodes when it felt like just a cute puppet show. An educational, well written, shallow pool of shiny puppet laughter.
What
I was just having that thought during the 66 million years ago cut
Lockdown messed all of us up
The first one didn't even have the algorithm
Seems like life time ago.
I think they should have Shane madej as a guest I think he'd really enjoy playing puppet history
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this after momentarily mistaking BDG for Shane.
I think Shane's too busy, can't make it
I agree, I think it'd be really fun to have the Genie on too. Maybe at the same time! They seem like such interesting personalities, they'd play off each other well.
But would he get along with the Professor?
@@peytonalexander5300 OH MY GOD YES IM NOT ALONE
The fact that Ryan called sunlight coming through a window "natty light" just proves to me how much frat boy energy this man possesses
it's giving schmidt from new girl
Omg spoiler alert
The professors' head getting bigger as he repeats "Aun Jus" is so cute
I thought I was seeing things when that happened 😭
I never noticed it until I looked
I think another aspect of the embarrassment of being defenestrated is the fact people would toss refuse (including bodily waste) from windows. “This person was so shitty, we have to rid ourselves of him like we do feces” kind of thinking
Yeah, it was basically flushing them down the toilet lol
We should definitely start flushing people we don’t like down the toilet. 2023 craze, you heard it here first, folks 🪟
Boom.
Virgin "Ur mum gae" vs Chad "Thou was so shite, thee 'twas thrown out thy window."
Imagine if they created a professor puppet mascot full body suit and on the very last episode Shane just stepped out from the back of the stage in it
furry shane would be cannon
THE ABSOLUTE FEAR THAT WOULD ENVELOPE MY BODY
Horrifying. I love it
It would haunt my nightmares forever
I am ready to see the Professor fursuit
New theory: The fake professor is the genie impersonating the Professor because Ryan's wish last season was to win. Because of the wish, the genie has to keep the show going without the real professor, and make Ryan win every match (kinda like how genies would sometimes twist people's words when it comes to wishes). This is also the reason why the songs this season seem quite a bit more mellow compared to the previous seasons (these puppets aren't actually alive, and are just the genie pretending to be them). It's also likely why the horse wife doesn't have any new voice, but is rather a really default sounding voice. I'm not quite sure what the lotion is doing, but I suspect the real professor is gonna come back in some really cool way o.O
I like this theory! I feel like Azmodeus will come back into play somehow. Maybe that's where the lotion will lead? 🤔 I'm loving the lore, this series is so phenomenal.
I was thinking that maybe the lotion will turn Ryan into a puppet somehow. The Professor is weirdly insistent about it so maybe it’s some sort of twist that the genie wants or the Professor needs to come back into reality
Genies wishes are often double edged so like...Ryan having to deal with what he's done (murdered our fuzzy little proff) and having no one acknowledge it and always winning would be fitting
What is the real professor is in the box and that gives the fake professor the power of the professor because of the tube attached to the the stage?
I was also thinking this had something to do with Ryan's wish to win! And it also could explain the emphasis on the B Boys, but not the C dogs, which is known to be the professor's favorite bit, because the genie doesn't know about the professor's sense of humor
The fact that the Professor ISN'T thrown out the window at the end is just Devastating
edit: I AM VINDICATED!!!
How do you think he gets home? Like does he drive in a toy car like the parents from Stuart Little?
How are we feeling now?
IT HAPPENED
IT HAPPENED NOW
I have wonderful news for you
As a czech person, I just wanna shout out Shane for getting all those names right! Czech pronounciation can be pretty tricky but you honestly nailed it, save for some little errors
edit: man autocorrect is wild! for some reason it turned ' the professor' into 'shane' :/
he absolutely nailed the Ř
Professor*
Yeah idk who this “Shane” is, but yeah the professor did a great job
right like the Ř was so good i was so impressed
I'm confused shane wasn't on this episode 🧐
If that lotion doesn't turn Ryan into a puppet I don't know what I'll do.
It's not meant to turn him into a puppet; it's meant to tenderize him!
Its seasoning. He is the beef boy and puppet craves flesh.
The lotion is so that Ryan has easier time rubbing the lamp
As a Czech, I really appreciate how good Shane's pronunciation of Czech names is.
yeah! it was very surprising
shane? u mean the professor??
Their social media person is Czech, so i would hope that they ran the names by her, at the very least
Maybe his time learning German helped him a little bit there. At least as a German myself I would have pronounced these names the same way
BDG immediately knowing what defanstration is and giving the Webster dictionary description, is the most BDG thing ever
I'm calling it the Professor made a deal with Ricky Goldsworth to get back at Ryan right when he's finally feeling comfortable about winning.
Been a while since we've seen Ricky tbh
Oh is that what you think happened?
@@rickygoldsworth2445 *_OH SHI-!_*
Ahhhh ha no no sir. Nope.
@@TheRibottoStudios you've no idea what the Professor is capable of
@@rickygoldsworth2445 so like that thing in the window. Was that?
The fact that actual Horse Crap was a plot point not once, but TWICE is hilarious.
That’s just the disgusting nature of Czech people alright 😂
I am glad I read your comment before watching because I knew what was coming and couldn't stop laughing
@Erica M LMAOOO
“How did you get Window? I thought he was super busy” i love BDG so much
i was gonna comment about that!! funniest part of the episode imo lolol
Brian David Gilbert + Shane Madej could be the musical comedy writing duo to set the world right.
They would do great on Play It by Ear on Dropout TV!
@ND no joke BDG's OSHA video made me start reading legalise for fun and now I can actually understand contracts
@@ND-kh5ywnot to mention his video on healthcare is the only reason i know what a deductible is
Golly gee, I sure am glad the absolutely real Professor hands out these prizes in a completely fair and not at all rigged manner. It's not like he's planning to skin the winner alive and make them into some kind of twisted human puppet suit or something. Boy, would that be weird. Haha!
Anyway, see everybody next week!
after tma, I will never look at someone who constantly advises someone else to moisturize and don't think "woah this person wants your skin in perfect condition for the weird ritual"
Don't forget to moisturize!
@@mariacori9500 😯😯 The magnus archives? Another fan in the wild?
@@Zanbutt Yes. Seems like chaotic goblins are addicted bto similar tipe of content 👁👁👁
@@mariacori9500 wow two more TMA fans watching this? How fun
i love how ryan has to clarify that he hasn't SUCCESSFULLY murdered anyone
It's one of those experiences you're not going to see anywhere else 😆
Wednesday: “Horrible, they’ll see I failed to get the job done…”
Or something like that!!🤷🏻♀️
There was an attempt.
Yknow, Shane's gotten really good at puppeteering. Who knew you could squeeze so much physical emotional expression out of a creature whose only moving part is his mouth.
Big time!! Like I keep forgetting it is a puppet cause he just puppeteers well enough for that
Nothing could have prepared me for BDGs presence on this show, my favorite fuzzy blue guy AND roasted garlic summer sausage man himself????? My life is complete
This comment right here 👌
Honestly I've wished BDG and our boys here would meet one day, seems like that genie listened!!
That is forever his new name
after having this series on my to-watch list for several months, I've been watching it while working from home for the last week or so, and thought to myself the other day "man I'd love to see brian david gilbert as a guest on here" and was VERY delighted when I got to this one lol
this professor is an IMPOSTER there's no way he would forget about c dogs.....it's the best bit in the show!!!
I was thinking that tooo!!! Maybe it's Satan disguising himself as the professor and the real professor is the one in the egg :O
I can't believe that Ryan didn't call this professor out on it. After all it is his favorite bit.
"BARK WITH ME!"
@@haruokinawa4965 OH SHIT MAYBE THE REAL PROFESSOR IS IN THE BOX
@@flu-shot-turned-me-gay OMG
absolutely died at the noise when bdg admitted that he knew what defenestration meant. "i am an english major and make my living being weird" it was like he wanted to swallow the word
meanwhile i know the word from tumblr
He looked so excited when he heard the title, too.
@@sparklingsora me too lmao
I don't remember how I learned the meaning of defenestrate, but I too enjoy words and am weird so. That combination just leads you to knowing obscure definitions I guess
I actually learned about it in my highschool history class. It was just mentioned casually regarding the unusual yet entertaining way the people of Prague dealt with stuff and people they didn't like, but it has been one of my favourite words ever since. Amazing word
I actually yelled 'JAN HUS' when the professor asked the question about the important Czech reformer. I love it when I can answer his questions - I give myself jelly beans for being right
BDG having so much fun during window’s song was a delight, he’s the perfect man to appreciate the musical genius
The Professor's jovial, friendly voice is so soothing that it's easy to forget that something's not....quite....right........Caution, Ryan, something primordially terrible lies in the darkness.....
Primordial? As in pouch?
@@Chris.tastrophy primordial as in extremely ancient, perhaps older than time itself...😳
@@midoriya-shonen hehe I know, I was just being silly
@@Chris.tastrophy I thought you might be! But I wasn't sure and didn't want to be accidentally dismissive
@@midoriya-shonen that's okay! I didn't think you wanted to be dismissive, your tone was really respectful :)
why do i want a film theory on the mayhem of this season
Agreed
THIS
The scenes where he's behind the stage watching the algorithm and where he's looking up at the moon didn't need to be as genuinely cinematically breathtaking as they are !!!
NO ABSOLUTELY SAME
@filmtheory do this
I love how during every single musical number the guest is having a great time and Ryan just dissociates his way through it
LMAO ikr
The funniest part fr
After the season finale, the line, "BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING OUT THE WINDOWWWWWWWWWW" has a whole different emotion attached to it.
The moisturizer prize totally turns Ryan into a puppet at the end of the season I bet
I knew I wasn't the only one thinking that!
With how many people are thinking this. What if it doesn’t turn him into a puppet. What if it it captures him into the bottle as a genie?
@@Mewwolf that's a good one I can't wait to find out now
what if the next season of puppet history has ryan as he host and shane competing?
Part of me thinks that since he made the deal with the demon? Devil? I cant fully remember but ever since that, ryan is somewhat controlled by them. An example may be how mean he is now idk anyway therefore i think it'd be funny if it was holy water. Idk
i didn’t expect bdg as a guest but somehow he meshes in perfectly
Weird facts, some decidedly creepy undertones AND songs? I'm actually wondering if BDG wasn't even involved in the conception of the whole thing.
real!
And he got 1 mil subscribers not to long ago
@@notAshildr honestly, it's so up his alley when i think about it that he should've been on sooner!
IKR, i really hope he becomes a regular guest, this show's totally his kind of thing
shoutout to the editors and graphic designers, the "rip our crispy king" had me in tears
8:55
RANDOM LORE TIMESTAMPS: 26:28 "majesty of theater" instead of magic; 27:23 breaks character; 34:16 ALGO-MATIC awards Brian the win; 35:26 prof reminds Ryan to moisturize with the puppet cream (theory: the cream will turn Ryan into a puppet); 36:25 prof voice doubles/changes; 37:59 can anyone make out what they're saying?
37:59 - It’s a line from the Jose Rizal book song: “a crusty old Tyrannosaur will digest your learned body whole.”
I can't believe that they booked Window for this episode given how busy they are on tour right now, I'm just so happy to see them on Puppet History of all places! Great performance and a great episode 😄
I know right! So talented! I wish Shane was there to enjoy it. I have a feeling he would love this performance!
In all seriousness I love the Window's song! My favorite for this season so far!
I heard his ticket presale crashed Ticketmaster
@@kelseymiller6146 *wheeze*
@@kelseymiller6146 I had to refresh the page 12 times for over an hour before I could finally get to the page to buy my tickets 😭 but so worth it 😆
Shane must've recently learned that "Defenestration" means throwing someone out a window and immediately found a way to incorporate that lol
LMFAOOOO you know what you’re probably damn right
Defenestration is my favorite word. I will forever adore how the English language has a word for throwing someone out of a window.
its actually a word in my language too! my favorite verb EVER
I wish when The Professor was showing how many people they threw out a window that he just chucked the little cardboard puppets over the edge of the stage and onto the floor in front of Ryan and Brian
I’m so invested in the lore and anxious about how this series is gonna go, I need to know what’s gonna happen
Rudy Fantoose, the author of the article that led Ryan to finding the professors clothes, is an anagram for "son, you farted." An obvious reference to Ryan's dad. Ryan's dad is known to have beheaded people as a dentist. There was a reference to beheadings in this ep, and is blatantly hinting at a beheading arc where the professor will attempt to kill Ryan in revenge... It's all so obvious.
You really wanna know where it goes?
1000% its something to do with the Cream.... he is getting his revenge... lol
Guys, just a thought. Is Kate a part of this season?? Why do I feel like she is in kahoots with the Professor? Like with her funeral message and stuff... I feel like she is the 'Connie' who keeps outbidding Ryan when it comes to the Genie Lamp.
Also if you guys look at the shot where we can only see the back of the Professor as he is sitting infront of the computer, on his right we can clearly see the coveted cup sitting on the desk. So... HE LIED ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH THE SUPPLIES!
welp i’m pretty sure someone’s going through the example window.
OBSEEEEESSED IM OBSESSED WITH THIS SEASON..... the LORE the DRAMA the PLOT LINES....... she (puppet history) is everything to me shes not just my friend she is my boyfriend
Felt this with my heart
this is, and I mean this as a compliment, such a relatable, unhinged way of putting it and I'm obsessed
completely hands off executive producer shane madej needs to know that this is how the people feel
very apt to have BDG as a guest on a fun internet thing descending into horror
I just rewatched the "aglathim" part, and the Professor TOTALLY has a trophy! It's sitting on top of the printer on the same side of the screen as BDG's face. However, the lotion is on Ryan's side. I do wonder what this could mean for our beef boy... (the "post credits" / behind the scenes stuff was so cool!)
I didn't notice that!
There was also a conical flask next to the moisturizer.
This season is the most scariest yet compelling one of all! 2 professors? who is fake? who is real? Does the puppet cream have a purpose in the finale? So many questions!!!
wait 2 professors??
Puppet cream, it's preparing Ryan to get eaten by the prof in the show
Oh god i just realized why he keeps giving ryan the fricking puppet cream and why hes calling ryan food.......
personally it hink the cream is gonna turn ryan into a puppet
Also is the Example Window going to be important later???
I don’t know how you managed to make an adorable fuzzy puppet such a menacing villian(?), but you did it boys.
Oh the Prof is definitely going into his villain arc.
I think Ricky Goldsworth is in on it
@@thewatcher6969 oh is that what you think?
I refuse to believe he's a villain. Not my poor little meow meow!
@@thewatcher6969 WHY WOULD YOU...WHY... WOULD YOU?! (DoN't SUmmOn HIM).
You’ve heard of Chekhov’s gun, now we have Madej’s window. ❤
We need a Puppet History on Jan Zizka. Dude was a legit badass. Even fought in battle blind and still kicked ass.
I must know more!
He was badass and honourable
I’m truly so happy to see BDG in this show. It’s the crossover I’ve hoped for since the beginning
Right?! I feel like people aren’t talking about this enough! I love him so much!!
crossover from what? i only know him from gamechanger
@@mariedebris polygon
Agreed!
@@mariedebris he has his own channel, too!
I predict they're not gonna bring in Kate Peterman until the season finale ep so everything can go down between Ryan and the Professor and she'll be there with no idea of anything going on and it'll be amazing
She's my favorite guest!
Love kate!
Kate is my favorite recurring guest
This is the most nervous Puppet History has ever made me, two professors, one stuck in the past maybe trying to send a message (I hope), one giving Ryan cream?, and Ryan trying to find a lamp to wish the Professor back (I really hope)
My favorite song yet.
BDG strikes me as an angelic version of whatever species Shane is, like the lighter side of a very weird coin.
I am entirely too invested in the lore heaviness happening this season. I was already obsessed with this show, but this is just making it ten times better. GREAT jobs guys, seriously.
YES well said! Exactly where I am.
Why is the ending segment of the professor reminiscing 66 million years ago so cinematically gorgeous. The backing track is incredible too. I suddenly wanted to experience it again in a theatre.
exactly. i took it off full screen because the show was ending, but when the end started i had to put it back up XD
I don't think it was reminiscing... It said "meanwhile" meaning the professor we see in the theatre is likely an impostor 👀
i’m pretty sure it’s the “in paradissum” movement of the gabriel faure requiem!!
@@valueinn Yes!! This show pulls from some great tracks. We hear a lot from The Planets. Also throwbacks to past puppet songs
honestly! it's gorgeous
As a Czech person, I found this especially hillarious. It's the stuff you learn about in primary school already and to hear it mentioned here was honestly surreal. Jan Hus is in a RUclips video! Wild...I love Puppet History. Thank you for including us in as one of your lessons Professor!
I'm actually obsessed with the production value of this series, you guys are KILLING IT lakdjfakjfakdjfakd I have so much fun with these videos!
The professor is ABSOLUTELY gearing up to steal Ryan's skin. Think about it; he keeps giving him cream, for soft, well kept flesh. Mark my words, the professor will be walking around in a Ryan flavoured skin suit come the end of the season.
Haha.. like Silence of The Lambs “ Put the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose!”
i like this theory better than “ryan turns into a puppet”
I like that it's kinda correct
ryan: he's up to something
also ryan: slathering himself with the not at all suspicious moisturizer
As someone who studied and was fascinated by the defenestration of Prague that prefaced the 30 years war, this episode of puppet history made me so happy.
this episode combines three of my favorite things: history, words that are fun to say, and my favorite internet person Brian David Gilbert
^^^^^^
"if a flower came to orgasm" was not a phrase I was expecting to hear today 😂
Fragrance descriptions are always wild 😬
And yet it completely sold me. I gotta buy that cologne
Is anyone gonna talk about how beautiful the music and general vibes of the lore at the end was??
And the animation??? It's incredible
Right!? The song was so good! The lore was so creepy but creepy good! The lighting, the look at the victory algorithm (at last!), the glitching professor, and now we know for a fact that the "professor" is skewing the results in Ryan's favor.
For anyone who is interested the official factors that the algorithm takes into account is:
1. Sass
2. Bad Jokes
3. Good Jokes
4. Good Bad Jokes
5. Shameless Groveling
aka: Everything but getting the history questions right!
The music at the end was 'In Paradisum' from Fauré's Requiem!
Yes, yes me too! I tend to go back to that part cause the music was so good!
All that hyperfixation on the example window wasn't just evil professor being evil, it was foreshadowing
the puppet cream is totally some kind of substance that will eventually turn ryan into a puppet and i am so here for it
as a czech watcher universe fan and a history lover, this is incredible.
Yes!!
I was surprised that no commies were thrown out of windows during the 1989 revolution.
i also love the fact that watchers social media manager, Simone, is from Prag
I can’t believe how emotionally invested im getting into this puppet’s backstory
I have long Covid (2 years now) and am watching this to settle my nerves before my first Neurology appointment to try and figure out what's happening to my body. I know Ryan ans Shane will probably never see this, but I hope they know how much joy they bring.
I hope your appointment went well!
Good luck bro
best of luck, i wish you all the safety and warmth. hope it went well :)
ik you commenred this a while ago but just wanted to say, hope you're doing alright! wish you all the peace and healing
Hi moondrop, thanks for checking in.
Was diagnosed with Functional Dysautonomia. So the good news is that it's not progressive, as for a long time my GP was worried it was rapid onset Parkinsons so that was a huge relief. The bad news is that scientists aren't fully sure what causes it or how to treat it. The working theory linking it to Covid is that some people's immune system reacts to it so severely that their brain permanently shifts closer to fight or flight mode. So my heart randomly beats too fast (which really hurts - think of it as involuntary cardio exercise) and my hands shake, and all that fun stuff.
Honestly, the whole experience has been pretty traumatic (especially as I caught it while working in a hospital), but I've genuinely grown so much as a person along the way. I've learned that it's okay to ask for help, that I deserve self-care and self-love irrespective of how 'productive' I've been that day, and I'm far more assertive than I used to be (honestly you kind of HAVE to be to get anywhere in Healthcare), so there's a silver lining.
I hope you're all doing well and am sending love for the journey. X
Came for the history, stayed for the riveting storytelling, plot twist and... how can Ryan not love the songs? That must be part of the plot line
This show is an absolute masterpiece. I'm loving the sinister vibes this season.
I don't trust them one little bit anymore, but I'm just happy to see that fuzzy blue face again.
i feel like the season finale will be a professor vs evil demon professor battle
I love that BDG mentioned the old school version of Rumpelstiltskin! It's the version of the story I was first introduced to as a kid! Delightfully dark!
Hahaha me too! My grandpa used to read us all the original versions 😅
I remember that one, but my first was that he threw a fit and stamped his feet so hard that he fell into hell!
@@meijo206 So sweet! Grandpa's sure know how to pick the versions of classic fairytales that terrify their grandkids, huh?
@@Veestar88 I am not familiar with that one. Yikes! Curious how you were introduced to it.
@@autumnsfablekeeper4419 I am German and I actually think it's quite normal to hear all the original versions from your grandparents here. Haha
1. This song is now in my #Top5 puppet history songs.
2. Ryan is GLOWING today baby!
I love this series. It's a perfect blend of Horrible Histories and a Saw movie.
I wish this episode was 2 hours long, BDG is my favorite guest so far
SAME
Anything with BDG instantly gets 10x better
Same! I was extremely excited for this episode and it's glorious
I was so stoked to see BDG was going to be a guest this season and he did not disappoint. 😁 Of course he knows what defenestration means. Lol. It happens to be one of my favorite words.
same
I have never been so captivated by the lore of a series. The intrigue is *killing* me.
Brian was an absolute delight on this episode, I hope he will be a guest on this show again or other Watcher's shows!!
Okay, the actual Puppet History part is brillaint BUT THE LORE??? Where the hell is this going??? I'm so damn excited for the rest of this season! Can't wait to see what The Professor is cooking.
‘Defenestration’ is such a beautiful word! Normalise it in everyday conversation.
is tossing people out of windows an everyday topic for you?
It’s my mom’s favorite word.
@@maxwashere. is it not for you⁉️
@@maxwashere. he's from prague, respect his culture
@@maxwashere. It’s just a big word I want to use for the sake of using a big word.
I love the Professor's head growing bigger whenever he says Auhn Jus. And can I just say how much I love that Puppet History has lore now?
I didn't realize Brian was in this so when they announced him I audibly squeaked with joy
BDG is truly the perfect Watcher guest, i can't believe i never considered this before
between "RIP our crispy king" and the head enlargement for auhn yus, the editor really woke up and chose violence today, and i love it.
I love this show more than anything but I can’t help not imagine what it’s like for the guests without the visuals and such that are added in post. They’re just sitting there watching a puppet talk for a long ass time which is great but also so funny to think about.
As a Czech person I've been praying for this to happen for SO LONG, though this also is a truly surreal experience
As a slavic person I really appreciate Shane’s pronounciation!!!! i was so worried about it when i saw the title of the video lol
These after-credits scenes are FIRE!!! GREAT stuff!!!!! This series has always been so fun & creative, but this season has taken it to a whole new level!!!!! Love to everyone at team Watcher, please keep up the AMAZING work!!!!!!!!
Here's my prediction. This Professor is actually the hologram ai from the last Christmas special that somehow gained sentience and needs Ryan for some nefarious reason to become real. The real Professor will probably return in the final episode and save him.
I think this is exactly what’s happening. The digital glitch on the Professor when he checked out the Victory Algorithm (nice to see that the victory algorithm is real whether The Professor fudged the results or not) and the fact that he’s getting subtle details about The Professor’s behavior wrong (“C Dogs” turning into “B Boys” for example) are pretty solid evidence of that. Not sure what the hologram is planning, or if the hologram is even the final boss of this season. Could be the Devil or the Genie planning something with the hologram part of the master plan, but regardless the real professor is going to show up in the season finale to save the day I guarantee it.
ooh i hadn’t considered the hologram thing but you both raise excellent points and this fits with the theory i already had that this isn’t the real Professor. that bit about a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” is one clear clue, and there’s also the fact (maybe a coincidence, but an interesting one) that the first episode of the season featured someone who faked his death (along with being paralyzed) and had multiple aliases, which fits the imposter theme! and the ending of the first episode showing this “Professor” hiding amongst all the Professor dolls is another example of posing as something you aren’t in order to hide in plain sight.
@@MrLegendofLP i also agree about the devil or genie being behind it ultimately. and there’s some irony in the hologram being used as a figurative puppet, since, y’know, it’s posing as a literal puppet.
Agreed. He’s definitely a hologram and the box is the projector.
I think this theory makes a lot of sense, and it would explain the power box. But if he’s a hologram, then why did Ryan here scuttling?
Watching this as someone who actually spent several weeks or even months on this topic in school, I gotta say the delivery was perfect and extremely entertaining. Don’t get me wrong. The nature of defenestration and it starting wars is already funny as is, but the professor, ryan and brian accomplished to actually get me interested and engaged in this topic. (Please don’t hate me for that, we talked so much about the 30 years war, at some point you stop to care how exactly someone was thrown out of a window in the beginning)
I love that, in addition to the broader storyline, we are also getting some of the genuine banter back. I hadn't realized that I'd missed it!
I’ve always been fascinated by the difference two letters can make when it comes to defenestration. Fenestration is just a fancy work for windows, but add two letters and you have people flying through the air to their demise.

Man I'm loving this new "easter eggs" era of puppet history, all the misteries and stuff
Propeller is one of my favorite puppets. I hope he gets more screen time this season.
Props to Demyx Time for teaching me the word 'defenestration' a decade ago! As well as one of my fav words: floccinaucinihilipilification, the act of describing something as worthless
"We're all exactly as we seem"
Brian sitting nervously cause he doesnt seem like a man whos his own boss
Fun Fact: I was a Liaison Officer during the recent Prague Summit and one thing I will remeber till the day I die is how the country leaders would stop by Václav Brožka´s art of one of the defenestrations and would just stare at it. I know that some delegations even asked about it later, makes me always wonder what their inner reaction was.
16:15 That sudden halt just to say “Are you laughing at penal 🗿” gets me every time
I actually squealed when I saw this week’s topic. The defenestrations of Prague have always been one of my favorite historical events. So much so that I, apropos of nothing, have told my spouse about them more than once. I can’t even explain why other than the fact that it ended up being the focus of a particularly extreme ADHD hyperfixation during my AP Euro class in high school lol.
I’ve been waiting for BDG to end up in a Watcher video since he moved to LA! So excited! And it feels very appropriate for him to turn up as this show is becoming a psychological horror. Lol.
i already knew BDG was gonna know what defenestration meant because he is a theatre kid and a nerd, and i dont think any nerdy theatre kid escaped public school without learning "defenestration" and explaining what it meant to people
Prague is one of my favourite cities. You can feel the age and dark history of the city. I highly recommend going. The last time I went was 9 years ago and it feels like yesterday
The quality of everything - fx, music, writing, editing - has gotten better and better over the seasons. The whole crew is kicking ass on the puppet squad.
