Brilliant. Also, the automatic captions are some of the best I've seen on RUclips (but still hilariously wrong in some places), so kudos to Paul for his lucid delivery.
DirkVomEck hes right , those little buggers are everywhere, and while they may seem cute at first with their little hats and 'taches just wait till you get one in your pipes or step on one, they are damn pests
I love in amature football matches, the players turn into sea bird. They sort of repeat "passpasspasspasspasspass" in such a symphony, it makes me wonder if I've accidentally wondered onto the sea cliff nests of some guillemots.
What do you mean this is a comedy sketch and not a fact documentary?! I've been using this video to prove to my friends i know things about sports?! No wonder they're not my friends any more =[
Umm, I think you meant 1994 in Cuyahoga Falls at the end there... but close enough! Way better than anything David Attenborough ever pontificated on. :)
I thought it was because the occupying Romans forbade the creation of Hockey (then known as Hooking) sticks on the grounds that they could be used as weapons; causing the people to play the game that they loved... With their FEET. ancientolympics.arts.kuleuven.be/picNL/slides/P0189.jpg

One of these years you'll post one of these with 100% fact and nobody will take it seriously.
Here's hoping!
But today is not that year.
@@DeltaStrata Today is not that year either I'd bet
Still not that year
Nor this one
We need more "The Whole Story."
Paul could sell anything with that voice.
Also calling it now: British Armadillo subscribes to checkpoint this week.
That stinger was even better than the cheap shot I had expected it to be.
You can see his beard slowly growing back over the course of the video.
Brilliant. Also, the automatic captions are some of the best I've seen on RUclips (but still hilariously wrong in some places), so kudos to Paul for his lucid delivery.
I always forget that they call it soccer in Canada
You know, it occurs to me, I haven't actually seen a library with a card catalog or microfiche in forever...
RIP the dashing native British armadillos
This sounds fishy but I don't know enough about soccer to dispute it.
At least you're being honest
Man, that ol' timey football where convicts kick boulders around sounds much more entertaining then the game we have these days...
Reading through Unseen Academical by Terry Pratchett, this video shares many similarities with the ruffian sport the book begins with.
I love these ones where Paul speaks crazy things.
I love that you gave the armadillo a pipe, hat and monocle.
Gave?
It is a natural occuring british armadillo, nothing was "added".

How date you insist that the rare British armadillo is fake or that he added it
Opening was classic. Great writing, guys!
Omg, Paul has amazingly strong glasses.

"I'm Nigel Brouwers, and ball-kicking sports have been with us for hundreds of years." I lost it right there.
I demand an English Armadillo shirt!
*British Armadillo
I am laughing before the video even starts...
These are some of my favourite sketches XD

Thanks for this.
I may have missed it, but there where city wide "matches" without set goals or rules. Just hundreds of men and woman kicking the ball across town
How many shots did it take? It feels like one long shot but there are definitely spots you could have "fudged" that a bit. I gotta know!
This was brilliant!
love the whole story videos
wait, the stinger felt way too legit, am i crazy?
Wait aren't they truncated dodecahedrons?
The whole story: This will never get old.
I always love these things. Your version of history is so much better than the fiction presented in the history books.
You've got QUITE the prescription on your glasses there, Paul! :)
Oh good, I'm not the only one who noticed. o_o
I cannot stop noticing it.
I like watching the countryside slide by inside Paul's head. It's like he has a smaller head trapped inside his larger head.
Oh, ya'll got Featherweight to do the mock historical illustrations? Neat!
#yoloswagmoney
bear baiting sounds like something bear would want to do in the privacy of its own den ;0
more factually accurate than spirit science and funner.
i love the whole truth episodes toy lot do.
50 pound fine/death by rat just for playing football? Fuck that.
Damn, Paul has some strong glasses.
What's up with his jacket?
Oh my god, Books! Those still exist!?
Anyone want to go Bear Baiting?
i love that blazer
This is what happens when you use wikipedia for research.
Poor Armadillo's :(
He sort of sounds like kermit the frog
Umm, I think you meant 1994 in Cuyahoga Falls at the end there... but close enough! Way better than anything David Attenborough ever pontificated on. :)
Is some of this true?
All of it, those are scientific facts.
The word "football" is real.
Its all true, thats the point ¬¬
I have to remind myself that this is a comedy sketch to realize that some of the facts in this aren't actually true.
WHY DID YOU SHAVE YOUR MAJESTIC BEARD??
I thought it was because the occupying Romans forbade the creation of Hockey (then known as Hooking) sticks on the grounds that they could be used as weapons; causing the people to play the game that they loved... With their FEET.

Its spelled futball
Is there some truth to this?
No. It is wrong in every part where wrongness is possible.
Some parts are true. The William de Spalding part is true and football was indeed baned for over 300 years in England form 1363.
