What's your favorite use of the terrible silly man's circus anthem? I personally like when the Chris Rock zebra sings it in that animal movie.
I like when they play yackity sax in comedy movies and its kinda the same son g
Dadadadadadadada circus dadadadadadada afro circus afro circus afro polka dot polka dot polka dot afro
Lol I didn't remember that until now
Oscar from the Shark's Tale be like:
*KEEP MY HIPPO OUT OF YOUR FUCKIN' MOUTH!!!!*
omg circus afro
I like that the joke builds on the fact that most people know the song but don't know the title.
Hahahahahaa and yet you can tell where this is going 😂😂😂😂
Frr
This was a song in Trombone Champ. The number of streamers that were conned into playing it was hilarious.
Yeah it’s called the clown song
Yeah I already knew the title so I was like "oh I see where this is going" LOL
I mean if you somehow got over the circus associations, I could see this song passing off as a genuine military march, especially after the opening melody
If it wasn’t associated with clowns I would see it as just a jolly tune
I've seen a RUclips video showing military units from around the world marching to it!
Right. It takes some thinking though, to get the juggling out of your head.
Y'know what? Ain't hard to hear. You right!
I mean, if you had enough brass to get the real rumble
The song was actually a Austro-Hungarian March, the song was later used by the Entente in circuses to mock the Austrians. The song sounds silly because it’s to boost moral for the troops, if I were a soldier I’d much rather march to this then to a march talking about my certain death. You really can make a circus song from any march, then everyone will think it’s silly.
The Imperial March will never be the same.
What’s your source on that?
If I may, I know many marching songs that have much less of a... Light theme.
And even silly marching music is often times more amusing (See Union Dixie, a song sung by union men as they marched into Southern States to retake them.)
nope

Calling that composition "Entrance of the Gladiators" is the musical equivalent of naming a toy poodle Killer.
If you past the opening, it sounds like typical Germanic music
Fun fact, circus is lifted from Roman architecture, so gladiators would have fought ad circus like the circus maximus. It's just full circle.
@@kauskethink more circus/pro wrestling.
Basically, doink the clown.
Honestly I get less of a "bloody battle to the death" vibe from this song and more of an "everyone at the colosseum is having a great time as their favorite athletes march into the arena to thunderous applause from the roaring crowd" type vibe. Like this song isn't about the gladiators killing each other, it's about how exciting it is for the audience to anticipate them killing each other. It's not The Fight of the Gladiators, it's The Entrance of the Gladiators.
it makes the gladiators sound like a joke
Underrated comment.
I'd agree, but Werlitzer friggin murdered any notion of people seeing this song as anything but funny man music.
You literally re-energized my Czech citizenship bro. Thank you
@@shelbyherring92Wurlitzer? How?
Well, it adds to the totally differenent connotation nowadays, that Americans tended to play it much faster than intended after adoption. Later, Europeans kinda reimported the faster version together with the circus association.
Marches are typically written at 110-128 bpm since that's a... march tempo. This is pretty much standard across cultures and time since marching is marching (though modern collegiate bands march very fast).
So I'm calling bullshit on Entrance of The Gladiators being intended to be played much slower than what we see here.
@@Syndie702 Sigh. First answer didnt get through due to me posting direct youbue links I suppose. Just check the US Marine Band version at approx. 128 bpm vs the Prague Philharmonics version at around 120 bpm, which is already very noticeable. The one free score at IMSLP is even set at 112 bpm, which is a world of difference to likely even faster college or circus bands in the US. Never ever I stated it WASNT march tempo originally. Just much slower. 110 to 128 is a massive difference in feel.
@@Syndie702 Even Wikipedia supports my statement. Checking that really wouldnt have taken you much research before "calling bullshit".
It does make one wonder why this was written in the first place.
It was actually meant to be a military March for the Astro-Hungarian army
When it isn’t played extra fast it does actually sound like a march
@duckdictator6531 well it's still a March even if played fast! That's the problem 😂😂
I believe it is the only piece of music ever written to use every note in the chromatic scale. It is quite a remarkable achievement.
I don't get this joke. (googles) Oh god. The clown song is really called that. I should compose some music and call it the "greatest joke of them all." It will be ten minutes of me crying about my life.
And his surname is really Fucik, like wtf
@@paradoxetion He was Czech
It's actually known by *three* names. The other two are "Thunder and Blazes" (it's circus alias) and "The Chromatic March". (Since it's written using the chromatic scale.)
There are lots of classical pieces which are named to invoke one concept in the mind, but pop culture substitutes another. Rossini’s final bit of the William Tell Overture was supposed to remind people of hunters. Sousa’s The Liberty Bell was supposed to invoke American pride.
Sorry, Sprain beat you to that
Don't blame the poor Julius, Austria-Hungary was a circus all along...
Also believe it or not, Kaiser Wilhelm II. really loved it.
The circus feels kinda fit the gladiators entrance for me as they were entertainment back then...
The circus itself is lifted from Rome, a Roman circus was a large arena featuring a chariot racing circuit; but it was used for all kinds of shows. The colosseum is more remembered; but circuses were just as popular as amphitheaters like the colosseum.
You’re not a gladiator, you’re the whole damn colosseum.
Monty Python missed a golden opportunity to make a parody of this song back in the 1970s when they were known for their Flying Circus show.
If they did a skit involving Fucik and how he came up with Entry of the Gladiators, it would have been just as funny as the Killer Joke that won the war against Germany, only it could have been more true to the actual events.
Too obvious and on-the-nose. Monty Python team were cleverer than that.
@@chumleykthey did pick another march as the theme song for their Monty Python and the Flying *_Circus_* show, though… ;)
Another beautiful bit from likeafox
It's meant to be alluding to the madness of the Colosseum and the bravery of the gladiators; that's why it's so jovial and high-spirited but also stern and magisterial.
It's basically why Coppola used Ride of the Valkyries for Apocalypse Now. Cut the guy some slack- it's not Fučík's fault they turned it into a ruddy circus march!!!
I believe it is the only piece of music ever written to use every note in the chromatic scale. It is quite a remarkable achievement.
Makes sense, its original name was "Grande Marche Chromatique", written to demonstrate new developments in the construction of brass instruments.
Your channel is fantastic. I haven't watched a bad skit yet.
The big foot one was bad
Unlike modern smosh , prank videos and collegehumour at least alot of their jokes still feel fresh.
who else thought his name was Julius Fuck lol
Julius Fucik? Nah, Juicy Fuck
Best laugh I've had in a long time. Thanks!
No joke about how everything past the first strain isn’t goofy even though he started the second strain? Damn
Highly underrated, solid bit🎉
Fucik sounds like Seth Green
He’s truly the pinnacle of voice acting (love your art by the way!)
@@LikeAFoxStudios Thanks!
Julius Fucik: “Entrance of The Gladiators is an epic piece of melody that will evoke what it was like when the Roman gladiators entered the arena of the Colosseum, the bloody combats in front of the emperor who with a thumb decides if the defeated gladiator lives or dies and the execution of christians that was apparently the halftime show” (And the reason why a Pope ordered that these Roman coliseums must be preserved in some way instead of being demolished and managed to survive to this day)
P.T. Barnum: Yeaaaaaahhh... whatever, Take this whole fistful of dollars for the rights of your tune. I'll make a few slight changes Maybe speed up the tempo a little bit, but believe me that people will remember it for all that you said about gladiators and stuff...
Many years later:
Julius Fucik: What the Fu...cik!?
The first strain is really the only one that sounds silly
Is this song a joke to you.
If I were ever a contender on the WWE, this would be my song.
WWE needs an old timey themed guy. Handlebar mustache, bright red leotard, slicked back hair and a long cigar.
Good ol' Doink done beat you to it!: ruclips.net/video/MeVPnNkqu7o/видео.html
There's nothing really silly about it when you don't jack the tempo up to silly.
The main reason why it sounds like this is that at that time he wanted to show the new highest stand of building and playing instruments and that it was possible for all instruments to play fast and chromatic pieces
THE HONK LEGION AND THE HONK KNIGHTS ARE THE GLADIATORS
I thought "Julius Fucik" was a joke name, but, no, that is the composer's real name
What did the cannibal say when asked if he missed his wife?
He was gladiator
GENIUS!
The anthem of the US House of Representatives.
actually this is one of my favourite marches
They should have started with the theme build up giving the guy a false impression of it being good and then the punch line lol
I’m gonna run into the entrance of gladiators with this!
Julius Fucik was done real dirty, NGL 😂
i mean, the fact that it was austro-hungarian makes it better
Knowing that Gladiators were pretty much the ancient equivalent of WWE Wrestlers kinda makes this perfect for them
Underrated af
Yep!
That's one sweaty mustache.
No matter what happens, let no one find out what Sabre Dance really is.
OK, what is it really?
@@KateGladstone Juggling / trapeze music
I only associate this with the circus.
Making circus music is super easy barely an inconvenience
Dude, that’s educating!)
Entry Of The Gladiators
Entry of the gladiators
EMBRACE THE SILLINESS
The composer: I don't believe it, my work is appreciated until this time! I wonder if this will last for much longer
Many years later henry fucik in heaven why did they use my creation as a clown theme
bro thought that the military was a circus
Diplomat: Julius Fuciking Haell!
The only silly March in the same class as Entry is The Liberty Bell!
"Julius Fucik" that's the fakest name I've ever heard.
Bread and circuses.
True
The composer's last name is actually spelled "Fučik" -- notice the upside down hat on the "c". Therefore it is pronounced "Foo-chick".
This is hilarious 😂
You know what's coming and it's still funny hahahahahahaha
This one is definitely OVER the double eagle.
Love it! Although you can't deny that the opening fanfare of the song is pure awesome before it gets to the clowny bits.
0:50 HAHAHAHAHA ITS A GIRAFFE HAHAHAHAHAHA
We Czechs can be crazy at times indeed
Wow his name really is Fucik
'foo-seek'
I keep misremembering this song with that one American song.
I mean, I do like it
I was really hoping to see a last name mispronunciation joke here as well.
Fucik was 25 at the time
Who designed the Julius Fucik card? I want my face and name on on it, with the description.
I will say, if you remove some strings and add some brass, this song does sound pretty powerful. It's like LeBron walking onto the court and he's the only good shot, you just hope he's gonna carry the sho
He lied on his resume!😎🤴🏻
well I pronounced that name wrong
😆Yes i like it
What's not understood is that the first strain is just the leading virginal flower girls.
The MEN show up in the second strain....
actually its 'ENTRY' of the gladiators🤓🤓
Well TECHNICALLY it’s called “Vjezd Gladiátoru” but it’s been translated to English as both Entry and Entrance
They didnt speak british english but german back then in austria haha
Uh, Julius Fucik didn't write it. That melody beats his birth by a couple hundred years. Many hundred years actually.
Oh, who wrote it, actually, and when?
He the creator of cocomelon
This dude is goofy
This was just a run of the mill military march until fate came knocking at the door.
Pretty random, really. Like the Kardashians, but without the gigantic, deformed aszes.
Fučík, not Fusik.
Replace the actual music with "the only thing they fear is you" off the Doom Eternal OST and he would be accurate.
Pretty good joke.
Just one point: his name is pronounced like Yuleeus Foocheek [ˈjulɪjus ˈfutʃiːk]. In Kyiv we have the street named by this prominent Check genius)
Not sure, it might have been named by another Julius Fucik, a communist journalist.
