The bouldering is how one of the accused at Salem, Mass. was executed. He just refused to say whether he was a witch or not, he was that angry at the injustice.
“Not Guilty your Honor.”
“Alright, crush this guys balls then.”

"More...weight!" -Last words of a giga-chad
the barrel one is honestly halloween imo.
The pressing with heavy rocks punishment was also carried over to the colonies. During the Salem Witch trials, Giles Corey refused to enter a plea and was pressed to death by heavy rocks.
Well, that was during Tudor times, so they were using the same punishments as back home
Finally, the Crucible reference I immediately came to the comments for after seeing the boulder punishment
I know a lot of people who need to be dunked 20 seconds at a time 😂 let’s bring that back
It's already legal, it's the advanced interrogation technique called water boarding ;)

Being drunk rolling around in a giant barrel just sounds like fun to me but I know I’m reality it was probably horrid.
I got thrown in the drunk tank one night... but the cops were dicks ... they cuffed me then shoved me into this tiny little trailer that was barely big enough to crunch into, all hard plastic woth no restraints and proceed to drive around like crazy assholes for 45 minutes, whipping around corners, slamming on the breakes... essentially doing just that. I ended up with permant nerve damage in my right wrist and half my right hand is permanently numb, and injured an ankle badly and was crutches for weeks. I could tell they were very disappointed that i hadnt gotten sick and thrown up all over myself. There was nothing fun about it... and had that been in the last couple years rather than 2014, before police brutality awareness... id have gotten a fat check out of it. But i didnt know enough back then to even do anything and its way too late now. They also stole my tablet and $250 cash.
@SeanMahoneyfitnessandart that's horrible I'm sorry that happened to you!
@@Banthisyoutubeyeah I'm calling bs too
It's a budget version (no horses, nor nails inside the barrel) of a Mongolian technique
@@SeanMahoneyfitnessandart Why did you get thrown in the drunk tank? Lots and lots of other details but we missed the reason why officers were called out, detained you, and had enough reason to put you away to cool off for the evening.
Who called the cops and what were you doing?
You also do the thing that I see addicts and freaks do 24/7 which is massively trump up things that did happen to make yourself look like a victim or outright lie as though you're being oppressed because you know it's the internet and nobody can call you on things that didn't really happen.

Sounds like a drinking game I’d play.
I love how instead of finding a solution to a problem they were just like: let’s just torture some people
They did find a solution though. THAT was their solution. Dead people are the least problematic kind of people.

The barrel one is hilarious, imagine seeing some drunk guy walking around in a barrel
instead of giving a public intoxication ticket they were just like “yea throw the barrel on em! that’ll teach him a lesson.”
and it did. you didn't find the same "drunk in public" anymore. you also forget. you couldn't take that barrel off. so you had to piss and shit in it. imagine how bad you smelled, after only a week?
"ODEN WOULDN'T BE ODEN IF IT WASN'T BOILED!" - Oden
The drunkards cloak is exactly the kinda thing that guys in their early 20s would do for a laugh and honestly I can't imagine it was particularly humiliating back then either.
People knew you were the town drunk but compared to the other punishments if you're drunk in public you got off easy. Just dont do amything more disruptive or you're probably getting executed or stuck in jail
It's ironic that we used to waterboard people for talking about things they shouldn't(gossip), and now we waterboard people so they say things they think they shouldn't say(criminal confession).
The getting drunk punishment has got to be the funniest
15th century laws:
*immediately talks about 16th century king*
@@MilkeshakecvThat's not how it works. It's because a century is 100 years. So, the first century is from 1-100. And so on. The 21st century is every year from 2001 to 2100. The 16th century is 1501 to 1600. The 15th is 1401 to 1500.
Thank goodness someone else caught that. I was like wait that’s not how time works.
@@Milkeshakecvyou have that backwards. People saying 15th mean 1400s not 1600s. Think a number lower not higher. As the other guy said you’re counting up. It wouldn’t make any sense to do it the way you described.

#2 was the punishment of Giles Corey
Exactly what I was thinking.
Except that was used as an interrogation technique, not a punishment. If he had confessed the state would have confiscated his assets leaving his family homeless and starving.
“More weight.”
For the rest of his life, he was never guilty
@@updownstatewell, I believe that is the same as in the video, it was what happens if you refuse to put in a deal. He refused to put in a deal, so they pressed him until he confessed or said he was innocent.
Soooo, you were just ALWAYS guilty of any crime you were accused of, or else you'd be forced to say you're guilty or die?
Ah yes, "justice system".
My uncle and two of my coworkers need to have "The Drunken Cloak"

Lemme guess, you neeevvveerrr gossip 😭 #niceGuy
I agree. I'm not much a people-person as I'm an introvert-type, and my very HACKLES stand on end when I'm in the presence of a loud and proud gossiper. I usually know one within 5-10 minutes of meeting, just by how they converse, and is it me, or is EVERY single one of these vile creature's mouths (and teeth half the time) sized XXXXL for some reason? Even when I was a little kid, meeting their adult and child counterparts, there was something primal in me that told me there was something about them I did not like, that they are friends of nothing and no one and to stay away from them. I gtfo or tell them to their face to gtfo (which they will OF COURSE gossip about). I would totally bring back that punishment for gossipers...but instead of 20 seconds, try 60 seconds each time till the bubbles stop. I'm serious. Because most of these what you call "messy" people 100% got it coming with how many lives they've wrecked by their face-openings alone. And they'll be able to go out with the audience they crave. That's a plus.

That one badass who was sentenced to death by crushing: "More Weight!"
That was in Salem not in Henry VIII’s England
The barrel is hilarious
Fun fact about number 2, this exact punishment method was used against a man during the Salem Witch Trails. He was placed between two wood planks and they put more and more rocks on trying to force him to admit if he was or was not a witch, but he just kept saying "More weight." He died without anyone knowing wether or not he was actually a witch.
