@Dianna Clarkson hello from 2 years in the future, check out YMS' video on Kimba the white lion for a thorough debunking of the 'lion king is stolen' myth
And even when he did use AC for those demonstrations he used it completely improperly and rigged it in a way that would never occur when naturally using it.
I love this video, It makes you think its about the romanticized version of Edison, but then just pulls the rug from under you with the real one. It's great.
Dude, I grew up loving your music. I still sing Kitten is Angry a lot and Hyakugojuuichi is pure art. I'm super glad you're on YT making videos. Cheers!
Yeah, we shot two shorts in one afternoon when we did Edison. Mr. Basement took two afternoons. For some reason it gained very little traction on RUclips, so we're trying to do a few shorter pieces in the meantime.
RialVestro Some houses have a lower floor under the ground floor. Often where furnace and electrical panel are located. Usually cooler and danker. Occasionally a sump pump is needed to keep water out.
I didn't see Mr. Basement show up in my subscription feed for some reason, I didn't watch it until I actually went to neil's channel. maybe that has something to do with it? it might have been uploaded on off hours or something
One had to film it, the other had to hold the old-timey lightbulb while activating their powers of invisibility. I say Ryan had to do the latter, he seems the type to have acquired such powers.
According to wikipedia: Education: Self-educated Well he certainly taught himself how to steal ideas and made it into his own. Too bad that didn't last long.
In a way, Edison is a perfect representation of the American dream. He steals other's hard work to make his own money, he kills people in order to make a point, and is revered as a hero for doing what other people did much better, just on a bigger scale.
Fuhreak Fuhreakington I know about that case. Tell me, how did he know about this undiscovered inventor in another country before that inventor even presented this invention?
Yeah. I don't know about the "kills people to make a point "part... "May possibly have been murdered by associates working for Mr Edison. Maybe. Possibly. Well. There are a few theories." doesn't have the same ring. It kind of screws up the comparison too.
My history teacher was telling us about how a lot of the USA’s “inventions” were actually stolen ideas from other cultures and this video was looping in my head the whole time
Thomas Edison once famously quote: "Invention is 20% inspiration from other people's ideas and 80% perspiration from running away from the people you steal inventions from."
Приколы
The reason there were no automobiles during that time was because Edison stole them all.
He wanted the entire every automobile

This video fits into such a specific niche of hating Thomas Edison for stealing ideas and it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen
Tesla is smiling down on this video.
Assuming he isn't rolling in his grave from whatever garbage Elon is doing to his name this week.

I'll bet he stole the car too
Nah Ford did that
He stole it from the future. That's how good he is at stealing.
StickguyPaul Gibert spoiler alert he’s from doctor who
@@rajavlitra and perhaps Thomas Edison is a friend of it!
He stole it! No one _ever knew!_
He also had the idea to prove dc was safer than ac by killing an elephant with dc and calling it ac.
And even when he did use AC for those demonstrations he used it completely improperly and rigged it in a way that would never occur when naturally using it.
to be fair the elephant was a murderer
Edison wasn't actually responsible for that. It was done by his company after he left them.
It's one thing to steal inventions, but killing an elephant too? That's just heinous.
Imagine in the old days he called himself old Thomas edison
he's pretty much the only RUclipsr that still makes these kinds of short skits
We're a dying breed.
That's not true at all
How things have changed
hmmm...
guaranteed* video
I love this video, It makes you think its about the romanticized version of Edison, but then just pulls the rug from under you with the real one. It's great.
RIP Tesla
I think Tesla wasn't the first, either.
Even then, a year later, he invented the fluorescent bulb and got it denied by Edison.
The car he drove off in?
Tesla.
Some say that light bulb is still floating above there today…
Aaron FitzSimons whenever they give tours of the Edison estate they let you try and pull it down. it's fixed there eternally
I pulled so hard my arms fell off. I hit headlines in every country
bet

Check out his album "Spirit Phone".
Thomas Edison stole automobiles too?! He knows no bounds!
Eddy boy was a straight up gangster in his youth
Must have stolen it from the future
Bet it was a Tesla
i had a dream that my family showed me this video and i freaked out because they knew of neil cicierega
Edison would've made reaction videos if he were alive today
I had a nice giggle
This was satisfying
jopomeister not quite on the mister basement level of quality
Yeah, we shot two shorts in one afternoon when we did Edison. Mr. Basement took two afternoons. For some reason it gained very little traction on RUclips, so we're trying to do a few shorter pieces in the meantime.
What's a basement?

Real talk: young Thomas Edison caused a train crash in Stratford, Ontario and then fled from Canada to escape justice.
I'd always assumed that was where the entirety of the US came from.
yet another cringe moment from mr. edison
True
Well, damn, I bet Edison wished automobiles existed at the time this film takes place so he could flee easier.
Woah, A video
who woulda thunk it
wow
Time to steal it
Which one?
i like how kevin and ryan are in the description but theyre not even in this video
One had to film it, the other had to hold the old-timey lightbulb while activating their powers of invisibility. I say Ryan had to do the latter, he seems the type to have acquired such powers.
I shot and edited the short. Ryan did sound. Credit is due!
Kevin J. James oh duh i should've figured
Great work as always, Kevin! :D Same goes to Ryan too!
bruh are you just planning on looking 12 forever
@Lindsay Fikes neil has been 34 for as long as he's existed
This looks like something Wes Anderson would make, with the aspect ratio and the lighting and everything.
Thanks! We shot in 4K 16x9 but decided to crop it in.

ah yes this is from the time when people would specify their full name and general age when speaking
"hey, this antique-looking cabinet gives me a great idea for a video!"
thank you for clarifying that automobiles didn't exist. i was confused for a second there
I too was highly confused of the existence of automobiles
@@furiousmagician5912 arent we all
The most factually accurate video on all of youtube.
Nick Jr
casker not anymore lol
Neil would make a good history teacher
history teachers if they were cool
I don't know why all of sudden Neil's short comedy videos giving me some TomSka vibes recently.
Brilliant.
Get it?
Because of the light bulb.
...
I know where the door is...
He also says "illuminating".
Truly a masterpiece for the ages
Watching this in class. I feel very naughty.
Toaste Oh, you naughty boy
_P O W D E R E D T O A S T M A N_
I gotta go watch that shit now lmao
It really annoys me that his head isn’t in line with the cabinet
neil cicierega teaches me more than school does
Nick Jr. has got some solid humor these days
I was going to write an angry comment about how Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb and stole credit...
But Edison already stole that idea.
This is brilliant. I was just thinking about Neil today!
Welcome back!!
“I’m going to kill a fucking elephant”
You're like a REALLY well animated NPC
Favorited! All right, now to watch the video...
should caption this shit, deaf people would love it too
I'm on it.
Done.
:D thank you, that turn around time was impressive
We don't mess around. We've been meaning to do them more regularly.
neil is still making vids that would have been the norm in 2009
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
@@KevinJamesVideo Yes.
I can’t believe how based neil is
This made my day boi
I still crack up when the car engine starts.
clearly this is Neil as the Doctor
I expected him to got "WTF IS THAT?" at the lightbulb ^^
this is the content I subscribed for
The idea of the lightbulb was created by the lightbulb as an idea
"oh, i know! I will set all my chickens on fire!"
This is so layered I love it
The lightbulb should fall down at the end
that was a sick historical burn
I'm Bustin to every one of your videos.
G O O D I D E A
"I'll steal it! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!"
Good stuff, as always!
Best video 2017
THIS WAS SO GOOD

I SAID INVENT A HEARING AID

Thomas Edison MAKES THE PERFECT MEME
Yessss, you got it right!
Thomas Edison was the worlds first reposter.
The 9th and 11th Doctor combined equals Neil
bless you

bit of a pessimistic point of view but alright
The most USAlian thing
When did Edison kill people?
Fuhreak Fuhreakington
I know about that case. Tell me, how did he know about this undiscovered inventor in another country before that inventor even presented this invention?
Yeah. I don't know about the "kills people to make a point "part...

2 Neil, 2 Cicierega.
