Which one was your favorite?
I forgot which episode it was in but one of my favorits was when old Australia ball was having PTSD over the Emu War
I'll tell you when I find out.
Polandball
My favorite skit was either one where Germany insulted the Russian govt. or when Greece was nuked.
The Germany reparations one was good
Gib clay means give land
I thought they were talking about Gibson Clay
in many non-english countries they use engrish which is english but twisted
@@flopjul3022 pretty sure the appellation Engrish is for Japanese especially since they have trouble distinguishing r and l
And or money
Gib moneys
Countryballs was originally called Polandball by the original creator. They speak in broken English mostly because English is not their first language and the word clay is just a stand in for land so when a countryball says anything about clay they mean land. Finally a countryball comic is only as offensive as a artist who drew it, so it really does depend.
Yeah some are really wholesome and some are very not wholesome
@@brandonk.4864 that's one of my favourite parts, you never know if it has a curesd twist.
I never knew that thanks! :)
It all goes back to Wojak
Falco made polandball on MSpaint and was a user on Krautchan on the /int/ board along with Wojak (yes, the feels guy.) Hemade the flag upside down either because poland is considered a “backwards country” or to annoy the polish user wojak.
For context, Poland's "can I into space?" thing is (or was) in reference to Poland's lack of involvement in the European Space Agency (until it joined in 2012)
Poland cannot into space
@@kong3681 Poland can into space
@@towxicc until German rockets shoot down the Poland rockets
Mirosław Hermaszewski: Am I a joke to you?
The “bad” spelling is to help portray the accent of the country, none of the country balls are just generic countries, they are all just the flag of the country it represents, country balls is more historical jokes, and how the countries would interact if they could talk
Edit: Gib clay is supposed to be give clay said by a young child, and it expanded into the ocean for clay, like for bricks
Edit 2: I forgot in country balls clay also means country or land, The small netherlands wanted land, neighbors said no, so they grew into the ocean
Gib clay just means give land
"Gib" is also the German imperative form of "give".
@@eypandabear7483 yep, either way it just is a way of saying give
As for why Polandball has his flag upsidedown, looking like Indonesia, it's also part of the countryball meme, you should ALWAYS portray the Poland flag upsidedown for him.
He wants to hide from Germany
@@chrislfc2317 OHhhh so that's the reason
@@chrislfc2317 but doesn't germany knoe now
I think it's really just to make Polandball look more like a pokéball, but it also has the side effect of looking like Polandball is flying its flag upside down all the time, which signals distress. So Polandball is in distress all the time. You know, since its role in most Countryballs comics is just being bullied all the time
@@ilikeyourname4807 woah that interesting :0
Unfortunately Limenade's Channel has been Terminated it's sad 😭
Within the Countryballs community (Or as per their Official Name, Polandball), The word "Clay" is often used within non-english speaking countries to refer to Land.
Countries that do have English as their Official language speak Normal English, While those who don't speak in what's known as Broken English, This dates back to the Very First Comics that started it all, As they used Broken English to poke fun out of other internet users bad writing skills.
Also, the "Red-White" Countryball represents Poland. The Polish flag is Always drawn Upsidedown, because there's the old joke that "Everything's upside down in Poland!", Mainly because they always tend to get the short end of the stick on History (As an Example we have the Polish Split in WW2, The invasions of Poland-Lithuania, and the Times of the Warsaw Pact.)
Countryballs is often called "Offensive", But this is simy due to the Sometimes Offensive and Sensitive nature of certain Historical or even Current Events, Which is generally the exact topic of a lot of Jokes within Countryballs comics.
Hope this is enough to clarify most things regarding Countryballs.
Thanks for all the info!
@@MrTerry you need to see the WWI countryball video by Freezepond
I’m pretty sure Poland became upside down was from the OG Creator drawing it wrong and making it upside down.
12:48 To explain that one, the language Canada is speaking is called "Inuktitut", and it's one of the few official languages spoken in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
Yeah, I noticed that, too.
@@PC_Simo I guess that's also a "Where did the Native Canadian go" joke?
@@TheLibermania OK. I have not heard of such a concept. Maybe I’ll have to check it out. Thanks. 👍🏻
Poland is upside down because it was drawn wrong at first and everyone collectively decided to keep drawing it that way.
Some tips to understand about Countryballs:
-Most Balls speak broken English mixed with the represented Country's Native Language, it also applies to Accents.
-The Polish Flag is usually flipped so it may be confused with Indonesia.
-'Clay' means land.
-They are usually Jokes about Modern Politics or History, or a mix of Political History Jokes.
-There are alternate based on Alternate Timelines in the Past or predictions about the Future or just Current Events.
I think the word 'clay' basically means 'land' in other languages. So when the Netherlands is asking other countries for clay, he's actually asking them for land. That's just what I've gathered so far, I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct.
No, that’s it, you’re correct.
From what I gathered, since they couldn't get land from Belgium, they looked to the sea. Much of The Netherlands is reclaimed land from the sea.
CountryBalls are made of clay and clay is land but not in another language (I think)
For countryballs I recommend the Channel "no idea animation" instead since that's more about historical events whereas this channel is more current politics
I recommend Mr spherical
@@gamerlife2049 same
I recommend icariaball
Mr. Terry has joined the sigma countryball enjoyers club
"Gib clay" = "Give me land"
Belgium says no, because they don't wanna give land back to The Netherlands.
Germany says no, because they don't want to give away land.
So The Netherlands turn to the waters, which doesn't say no, so they take land from the waters.
Examples: the entire province of Flevoland, the Haarlemmermeerpolder, Amsterdam (at least partially).
So, The Netherlands grow.
13:18 That was a joke of / a reference to Khrushchev being denied access to Disneyland on his visit to America, to ”protect” him. He did not take too well to it. It even hints to Khrushchev with that ”I will bury you.” -line. Khrushchev said to the USA that: ”We will bury you.”, the ”We” referring to the international proletariate; which the USA government misunderstood as a threat of war; which, of course, caused some controversy.
Tim Hortons started in Ontario and is popular in every province. It has no special connection to Quebec that I'm aware of, it's just a stereotypical setting for two Canadians to be interacting.
edit: I just got the joke when I looked at what he read as "something something." This appears to be text in an Inuit language. I don't know much about them, but I recognize the look of it. Quebec asked for "the native language of Quebec" so English Canada learned Inuit. lol That's pretty good.
RIP Limenade. Thank god reaction videos pretty much archived his countryball videos.
Ah yes, this is something we like to call “memes history” where they are historical facts made in a comedic manner
20:30 Did a history teacher just confuse the North Korean flag with the Vietnamese flag? I know history ≠ vexillology, but still. 😆
You might get terminated the channel is banned I miss Limenade
Greece has recently also made a claim for war reperations from Germany, so the Gib Money has a double meaning in that reperations joke
with dunkirk, churchill said that for every british soldier rescued, a french soldier had to be rescued as well.
at the time, the french contribution was well known and very appreciated
17:18 hey Mr.T speaking about the Aztecs here I have a Aztec death whistle from Amazon
Those are awesome!
Indeed and I always wanted to know what's your favorite empire in all of history
Gib clay:
There’s a Dutch saying:
“God made the world, but the Dutch made the Netherlands”.
Basically it’s about how the Dutch created a whole load of new land by reclaiming it from the sea.
Trust me, it’s hilarious if you know the history of Holland.
So with Poland Ball, it is the punching bag for europe, both Germany and Russia. Japan ball was tough during WW2, and after US Ball hit them with a big stick, aka the atomic bombs. It turns into a cosplaying cat girl. Basically, they make fun of Japan's freaky side.
I wonder what would happen if we drop that unclaimed Third bomb on to Tokyo
@@thebandit0256 Yeah....something about robot wives.
I don't think you can really nail down what "countryballs" is, each creator pretty much adds their own spin to it. My personal favorite is the "History of Europe" countryball video. Not really a joke, just a recreation of the 20th century in countryball-style. And "WW1 in a nutshell", that one is also great.
"Gib Clay" basically means "Give Land" i.e. the balls are made from clay
Also I'm going to Disneyland soon, so I liked the meme at 16:16
Have fun Jew
I'm going to Disneyworld soon
Hey Terry!
France, here. In fact, Napoleon sold Louisianan at a terrible loss and quickly because the economy couldn't keep up with the expensive trade route while he got his african fleet shatered in the meantime. Napoleon wasn't dumb enough to sell for quick money. There was way quicker money just down the road for him, any direction. Including the one we usually fart in.
And we don't hate our His Majesty Louis Capet: in fact we regret him. a Lot. Including number XIV. The republic is being hated more and more, though. Even Philip the Fair is sourly missed. Banking reasons, I have to believe. And winter is getting colder and colder. Yeah, oui're solar energy based: no stakes, no fire, no Sun King, no working.
As for Ireland and potatoes, well. Ireland had a potato crisis which led to famine for many decaades. There's a Cruise/Kidman movie mentioning it and telling about the irish immigration to the US that it induced, it's called Far & Away. It's really good!
4:49 is basically referencing the French Revolution- they went off with the heads of kings. France got confused and went off with Poland’s head.
I love That America wears secret service sunglasses. Very fitting!
How tf u find that cute
They look like Ray Ban Aviators; very cheap and common
That's the style
I love country balls as their design is so simple thag anyone can make their own parodies easily.
Can't wait for your reactions to the next three episodes.
“Are country balls suppose to be offensive”
The country all fandom: well, if they don’t see it, it’s not offensive?…
The term "clay" in Countryballs means "land" or "territory", when a country says "Gib clay" means that it's trying to get more land.
14:30 - I thought the out of thin air was more about our methods, such as fractional reserve lending (allowing banks to lend 10 times what they hold in their coffers), which multiplies the amount of currency 10 fold by digital means rather than involving actual printing. So not only is paper not needed but also the rate of inflation in terms of increasing cash in the system increases (artificial means of slowing the rise of prices has had surprising effectiveness in delaying the inevitable).
There is a lot of these to break down for the one that I personally like the most in this episode was the joke about France and Britain hating each other so much that written doesn't want to use a quote unquote transport a word in their French language until they realize that English is technically rebuild with Normandy language which means technically it's a part of France so in other words various other words like b for example are from France
Tim Hortons or Timmies as people like to call it can be found literally everywhere in Canada. However, the joke is primarily about the language preservation efforts of Quebec, and the general Quebecoise attitude towards people not speaking French. Outside of Ottawa or Montreal, French is pretty much the sole language spoken and a lot of people may not even know English. The comic plays on the fact, that when we anglophones come into Quebec and try to speak French, some may become angry or frustrated. Especially when we then proceed to butcher the language as we rely on whatever elementary school French we still have left in our brain. The joke at the end was possibly in reference to CanadaBall speaking an indigenous language instead of French. The script used was created by a missionary to use for indigenous languages, and today is mostly synonymous with Inuktitut spoken by the Inuit in Nunavut territory.
I think if you do something about Countryballs again, you should do it over the r/Polandball subreddit
And yes, they Poland is drawn with couloirs upside down
To explain why Britain was sad after hating France is because Most of the English language comes from French words due to William the conqueror who invaded England and mixed anglo Saxon and French to make English language
the dutch belgium one was that the netherlands wanted to have more land, and the ocean was the only place not saying no, and so got turned into more land
05:28 clay means land in countryballs.
Country balls are my favorite! Such great representation of all the countries
The 'Gib Clay' refers to the Netherlands basically asking land from its neighbors and not getting any, it mostly a reference to the Netherlands basically creating new land by claiming it from the ocean.
I always thought the balls where difficult topic. They have diffrent qualities and the one your watching is defently one of low ones.
4:31 Napoleon wasn't defeated by the Russians themselves just their winter. But the Russian military isn't as scary as people once believed.
clay is land for the countryballs, so Netherlandsball asking countries to give land, then turning to sea to ask for land and so Netherlands gets land from the sea
If I remember right Tim Horton's is a coffee shop we have here in Canada not exclusive to Quebec named after Tim Horton who was a player for the Leafs? Could be getting the team wrong but I'm certain he was a hockey player.
French Fries ( 14:51 ): I'm pretty sure they were invented in Belgium as you said; but the name is in reference to the unit of measurement. It's a distance (1 fr = 1/3 millimeters), but I've only ever seen it used for diameters of long and narrow things (ex. catheter)...which describes the shape of a french fry.
well, it kinda depends on what you're refereing to. the Belgian fry is a specific way of baking it (as far as i understand it mostly just means baking them twice, but thats beside the point). but usually when fries are on the menu, theyre only baked once, so then its fair to call them french fries, since the whole idea of frying at all does appear to be french.
And just to be clear, this is coming from a Belgian who made a whole video about this topic. i did some research is all im saying
No Idea Animations, Mr Spherical, and PWA all make country ball animations.
Well then you gotta watch the autonomous region of aland
Good to know!
19:30 it was 2015 before the UK finished paying off its WW1 debts, its crazy how long war debts hang around
You should definitely do more.
9:05 "I'm not going to use a single French loanword! Not even one!"
That'll require a massive reformation of the English language, because almost half of your vocabulary (FR vocabulaire) is based upon French.
That's the joke.
Clay is a reference in countryball comics that refers to land
I mean, I feel it is worth pointing out that of 330,000 troops evacuated from Dunkirk, over 100,000 were French. And most of them fucked off back to France to surrender within weeks.
12:41 No, I went to Canada once, specifically Toronto, Ontario and there were Tim Hortons there
I had been in the countryball community for a long while
There's a fair amount of countryball dedicated channels that make memes
I recommend Kaliningrad General the most if you're ever gonna explore it more
It's a fun meme, kinda dead but still good
the ''gib clay'' is ''Give Land''. Thats how you say ''Land'' in some of these Countryball comics. CLAY
I never expected this lol, nice one
And I know a lot about Countryballs if you wanna know some stuff
5:20 "clay" im this context revers to land. The netherlands want land from belgium and germany, who say not. The netherlands turn to the sea and get no no, which revers to the neverlands efforts to gain more land from the sea.
About french fries, there are multiple theories, some say that they cam from Belgium,some from some street food carts in pairs, but around the same time.
All in all, if you are part of the it came from Belgium school, there is only one thing to remember, at that time, there was no Belgium and it was in France.
So fun fact, I'm pretty sure in the first country all comic when Türkiye and etc ask to join the EU is that Türkiye is in Asia and Europe AKA the Middle East. now but Türkiye is still in the E.U disregarding that Türkiye is in the Middle East. But I don’t know about the others.
Clay = Land/territory
Red/white ball = Poland (Indonesia has a hat and Monaco has sunglasses)
Countryballs can be offensive or not, as long as it furthers the homour and story
All countries (except for English speaking ones) speak in Engrish
And it isn't really that surprising that the voice acting is good, since Limenade is a professional voice actor
not sure why they went with "gib clay" for the words, but i think that was refering to the Dutch wanting land to live on, so they just turned sea into land
Limenade? perfect. Channels I watch coming together. perfect.
so happy you chose hunters video !!
You should check out videos by Kraut. He uses Countryballs to talk about serious issues. Specially check out it’s India vs Pakistan video, it’s one of the most accurate portrayal of the problem the two countries have.
Clay is often used to say land as country/polandball is supposed to have improper English
5:10 omg that must be the mongol empire splitting into 4 pieces on the death of Genghis khan.
14:31 someone from Poland has entered space before
5:31 okay, this one is my personal favorite.
There is a history of Belrus animated using country balls. No dialogue, all music, very historical.
This is very gud and funy. Countryball is basicly history memes with broken english
To 7:43 , its a somewhat spread style of humor called Jokes about Latvians or Latvian jokes. They arent wery funny, but they function as an overexaggerated reminder of how it used to be when they were under Commie rule.
I remember hearing that in 2010 the ally countries that were supposed to receive reparations from Germany all agreed to stop requesting money and to forgive Germany. Not that they payed off their debts.
In the 'gib clay' thing nobody mentions how the Netherlands MAKES their own land (at least that's what they do in Civ 6 :)) so nobody gives them land so fine they make their own. in the ocean
Yesss! Finally
Unleash Reichtangle! :P Amusingly, the pun also works in German. "Rectangle" in german is "Rechteck". So "Reichtangle" becomes "Reichteck".
Too bad there was no Reichtangle comic in this one... ^^
So *this* is what introduced me to Limenade. Weird.
Dude you should react to No Idea Animatons Contry Ball vids.
He dont update anymore, but they are gold
Gib clay is GIVE ME LAND OR IMMA EXPLODE YOU
fine it means give land
Clay - Land
Anschluss - No No Germany want all clay
Reichtangle - Basically the German Empire
You should also check out Mr spherical. He has animated country balls
Yea he need that quick money but you got to get rid of the remnants of the last regime
Clay means land, I don't know why this started but it's how it is
In the country verse is normal to draw the Poland flag upside down because that's what the original Creator did
How to avoid tariffs. Make the product in the country you intend to sell it in. If you are selling the product in America, you make it in America with domestic sourced materials, where possible same goes for if it's any other country around the globe. You avoid the tariffs you put locals to work it's a win win of sorts. Tariffs were meant to be the source of income for America on its founding not taxing the income of citizens into oblivion.
I guess the loanword joke that "loadword" itself is a loanword
the "gib clay" one is just saying 2 things
gib - give
clay - land/territory
and its based on the dutch making artificial land as the ocean didnt say yes or no
You, good sir, have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade cabinet.
This, in my book, automatically makes you a great human being. And possibly the greatest teacher who ever became a teacher.
Cowabunga dude! (can't wait for Shredder's Revenge!)
5:24 gib clay means give land
omg my boi Limenade is becoming big
React to "A complete history of ww1 in countryballs" by freezepond
Poland is always drawn with an upside down flag in Polandball, clay means land, the comics are only as offensive as the creator makes them, bad grammar is specific to non-English speaking countries
I wouldn' tsay that countryballs are offensive, although some can be if the creator wants them to. The majority are often stereotypical, for example the America countryball is fat and likes funs in most comics. This is also why their english is broken, since those countries are mostly not great at English. The word "clay" is another word for "land" in the comics.
You should also check No Idea Animation and PWA, their videos are awesome and are just an animated version of this. Limenade's series is also good, so I would continue it. Just a recommendation!
No idea is great but he isn't making videos anymore.
"clay" In countryball comics basically means land.
Ironically all those places had tariffs on our goods already.
Guys, it’s finally happening, Polandball has entered the classroom
If Countryballs get to my school I am going to be happy maybe
Damn, poor France, I never knew...
Then again I never even got the joke about France anyways, soooo...
The channel in question was Limenade.
