If we don't realize our mistakes soon, fall for the media's bullshit, and don't show up and vote...there won't be freedom or liberty anymore. The dragon is attacking us. We're feeding the beast thinking it won't eat us last, but it will. If we fail here, we won't have a country anymore. They're trying to start a "people's revolution" but it's a lie. Ironically, it's the same thing we've done to other places in the past: meddle with elections, prop up disloyal leaders, turn the people against their own government...and now it's our turn. Now, we'll finally find out if America really is exceptional, or if we've been no better than anyone else all along. And our reward for "winning" will be a heavy dose of "oh god oh god what have we done..."
As a highschool student who plays in the band, yes we are forced to do parades. It is literally the worst thing in existence thank you for acknowledging it
If it helps you and others that were in marching bands... I always thought y'all were neat. I appreciate talent and playing mandolin (horribly) is hard enough just sitting down. I can't imagine how y'all can play your craft so perfectly (with some of y'all swinging it around). Just know that y'all had at least one loser out there that looked forward to y'all marching by. Thank you!
God I hate parades. There are so many people in front ensemble, and we have to carry banners. It also doesn’t help that there are five people to a banner and I’m extremely short.
Big parade, the evil behemoth of a company owned by the evil man, Mr. para aid. Every year he drawns cards from a hat and it will say the name of a random us citizen, who will then be slowly transported over to big parade headquarters, where they will then be bought for twelve US dollars and then forced into one of the many parades. Last year I barely escaped the Macy day parade limping after a firework was shot at me. I will never be the same after what Big Parade has done.
@@ThrasheReyes just reminded me of how my parents made me be in the cchristmas parade even though I told them I felt sick then proceeded to have explosive diarrhea in my pants
my dog LOVED fireworks. so much so that if u tried to keep him in the house, he will scratch at that door nonstop till you let him out. and if he is out and you don't light it fast enough, he will bark so loud for you to hurry up. he LOVED them. loved watching them go into the sky. I miss him.
By chance, field type Labrador Retriever??? Some type of gundog breed or mix? Yeah, my dogs love the fireworks. But, I know that many dogs, cats, horses, birds, on and on just feel maximum stress overload from fireworks. I'd prefer zero fireworks because people just don't know when to friggin stop, and I know too much what happens to so many pets that get spooked, run away, get lost, suffer an injury or fatality from the stress overload, or, as with horses, some freak out and crash a fence. For that reason, I hate fireworks. But, I"m sure it was a lot of fun seeing your dog love them. I just set up retrieving drills for my field labs. I'm not letting them go hog wild when the sky gets all lit up with the kabooms. They love these fireworks. It amps them up. I insist they keep chill. It's because they're working retrievers. My last retriever, lol, I let him run the fence line. But, good gawd people just don't stop shooting fireworks. I'm like give it a rest already!!!!
This unlocked a memory I forgot I had as a kid where I was forced into TWO parades and now I'm seriously concerned if whether or not everyone is forced to be there 😭😭😭
@@ashkibel3251 first time was my mom wanting to see my dad and I in a Disneyland parade even though I was terrified of being trampled like in lion king 🤣🤣 second time was the church group I was in had mandatory events you had to go to to stay a part of the group and that was one of them. I didn't make it to year two. 😭🤣🤣
I had to be in a parade for a senior class in HS. If I wasn't there I'd have failed the whole class. Or at least that's what the weirdo small engines teacher told us.
I live in Maine and legitimately got excited at the idea of lobster racing. There’s really not much here for people in their 20’s unless you’re into the outdoors.
Being forced into parades is one of my unlocked childhood memories thanks to this video. I think I had a winter soldier episode when you mentioned them, because I suddenly felt the disappointment I felt when I was sitting on the parade float taking fistfuls of candy into my child hand and throwing it towards other children. Though maybe it's better this way. Chances are, those kids were forced to be there, too, and they had to stand up. They needed those tootsie rolls more than I did.
Honestly, as a foreigner your 4th of July celebrations have always seemed so cool to me. We celebrate our independence in the middle of the winter. There's no fireworks, instead you have to watch at least one of the three versions of the same war movie and then, later in the evening a live event of about 1500 people who are better than you standing in a queue to shake hands with the president. It's like a parade but only for the rich and famous and there's no music and it's so slow and boring it makes you want to gauge your eyes off. But if you don't watch it, you'll be socially excluded for a week while everyone else talks about who had the best dress. Fortunately, if you miss the live event they show a rerun of it the next day. I'm pretty sure the idea of it is to remind us how horrible war is so we can feel unity with the veterans. "I understand how excruciating it must have been to see your mates get killed, grandpa. I feel the same pain having to watch the independence day reception for four fucking hours every year."
My window looks out to a giant wall of thick trees, but the neighbors love to shoot fireworks until 3am. So ill be not sleeping in my bed, waiting for the sweet gift of unconsciousness while having random explosions and pops haunt me, them with no pattern or reason. I don't know when they'll be set off, and this is for the entire month. Excuse me if I have a few bags under my eyes, Sharon, at least I didn't waste my money on purchasing one of these loud color bombs that you call tradition.
I now have anxiety from fireworks now, I got hit by one this fourth of july. I was sitting down and we set off one of the fireworks. all of a sudden it shoots out sideways towards our yard, then shoots one at me. I jumped up but I couldnt get out of the way in time and I got hit. I couldnt see or hear for a couple seconds, and my mind was in a different place. I tumbled to the ground sat there in a crawling position then screamed as I got up then fell back down hitting the wood pallete of our new law mower that it was stored in. Quickly my dad ran and ripped off my croc and then ripped off my sock which was ON FIRE. After that I snapped back to reality kneeling down with my family friend holding my foot. My sister was screaming my name hugging me. I sat there and didnt even cry because of the adrenaline. Luckily I didnt feel the pain of the firework. I remember getting hit like it was in a dream but almost everything else was blank, other then me hitting the side of my pallet. My foot now has second degree burns and its wrapped with gauze and bandages. my left arm and left thumb are also burnt, most likely from me jumping up and try to swat it away (for some reason I did that, idk just natural instincts) but aren't that bad. I still dont know how those are my only injuries, but I now have to deal with blisters and pain from my foot. But when I walked inside, I was just happy to be alive, and that I still had my face, bust most importantly my life. Yeahhh so now I got PTSD and that sucks.
Crazy how the 4th is all about loving America and appreciating our freedom and our troops and such, yet fireworks seem almost deliberately designed to give the troops who fought for us traumatic flashbacks

I'm going to share this with all my friends and call it a day as far as celebrating goes. Loud noises, bright flashes, and partying outside in 100+F/42+C weather are so not my jam. I will say that this video unlocked one of my earliest childhood memories of my dad letting us kids run around with silly string and duking it out in the office supply store he was a manager of. We also got to watch Digimon and other cartoons in the breakroom while he was working. It was a good time, a really good time.

My heart goes out to all those band kids, especially percussionists, who are marching in the hot sun, in full uniform, needing to play music the whole time.
The Fourth of July is genuinely one of my least favorite times of the year. There's nothing wrong with celebrating our country, of course. Light some fireworks. It is a tradition, after all. However, it gets ridiculous when the firework launches are extending into midnight and sometimes even early morning hours when people are trying to sleep. Not only is it ridiculous, its incredibly insensitive to literally anyone who wants to get some rest. Especially people like me who already have sleeping issues. Oh yeah, and it's not just the fourth of July either. The entire week following the holiday also has the potential for this.
Lol be glad you don't live in Utah. We celebrate pioneer day here (the 24th of July) as well as the 4th. There's literally festivals and events that last all month cuz of it. The days of 47 parades rodeos, and if course fireworks all. Month. Long. Every. Year. It's a god damn nightmare 😂
As a floridian our alligators are delivering our merican flags and we are doing merican things this tuesday, AMERICAAAA HECK YEA WE GOT THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
God damnit, I remember those damn parades. As a band student in those uncomfy, hot ass uniforms, marching for a mile (half of it uphill) in uncomfortable shoes was always the worst. No one I knew actually enjoyed those damn parades yet every year we'd have to do it again
Bro, every year I dread 4th of July coming. I have a serious phobia of loud sounds, likely due to my autism. I can never be outside that day. While I hate fireworks, I do still like looking at them behind a closed window, cuz they are still pretty. So that's how I spend my 4th of Julys, eating dinner by my large window in the dark to watch the fireworks. Sadly, it's lonely.
SAAAME! I hate the 4th of July for the same reasons, and I always end up getting overstimulated during the fireworks :P But hey, it's nice to know that there's someone else that feels the same way about the 4th, so I don't feel left out :3 Anyways, I hope you have a good 4th of July weekend, despite all the noise :D
Id recommend investing in ear plugs, I have similar sound issues though not due to autism and ear plugs are the only reason I can do about anything on the 4th of July or in any other loud setting.
I actually grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, and it's so cool you mentioned us! The fence painting is just one of many many things that we do involving Tom Sawyer. Each year, the town honors two young people (there are runner ups ) to represent Tom and Becky. There are other requirements such as having to write an essay, having an accurate costume, and even a frog race! Tom and Becky go to each event the town hosts and will even tag along with cave tours! I went to the Mark Twain cave with my partner last year and we had a Tom and Becky. They reenact a part from the book in the cave for everyone and it's very sweet and precious. I grew up hating Mark Twain because that town shoved it down our throats, but now that I don't live there, I have a much greater appreciation for his work.
I'm from Columbia and am surprised he didn't mention us when he got to fireworks wars. Before the guy that organized them died, we had some of the largest ones in the country
I actually do a “pet safe” firework” show for my cats. They love shiny lights so what I do is turn on the tv, turn the volume down a lot, and let them watch it. All the shiny lights they want without the ptsd. They also get more treats and catnip.
I respect you. It's not often people acknowledge that a singular thing becomes their entire personality and they lose all else that used to be interesting about them. Good for you. Gays and vegans could learn a thing or two from you.
Hi. You standing up against big parades inspired me to stand up as well. I will no longer stay silent. Every year, I am forced to walk for 2 hours with a fur coffin over my head, hands, and feet. I have decided to term my fursuit as a fur coffin to emphasize how they force me into this, giving me near heat stroke. Every time I throw out candy, I get reminded of the candy that was taken from me... Please help us. Listen to our calls, please
I only recently learned that hot dog eating contest, though they advertise it as being like 100 years old, just started in... like the 70s. They just made up the other date because they wanted it to sound more important.
not to mention the traffic after the fireworks, i’ve never felt more panicked on the road then trying to get off work and see explosions only to be late and end of on the highway for an hour 🙂
As someone who fears loud sounds the 4th is the bane of my existence. I can’t go on a night walk because for the whole month people are blowing up bomb level fire works
Listen here "Tugg" fireworks can be fun in the right scenario. For where I live they did a 20 min firework show and 10-15 min grand finale that was right next to this bridge that goes over this huge river and you get right up and personal with the fireworks. Its a totally different experience and the finale is dope. So in a totally perfect scenario that's not very specific and everyone in the country totally has, fireworks can be fun.
There's an event in Calgary AB called "GlobalFest", and they do 5 nights of international fireworks displays. I went once as a kid, and they were the most amazing fireworks I've ever seen in my life. On Canada day, Calgary does a fireworks show that syncs to the music on a specific radio station.
I don’t mind people setting off fireworks in the 4th of July, I don’t like people who do it before or after the 4th though, especially when it’s getting into like 1:00AM before they stop.
we arent canadian 😭 he is not canadian, his channel's audience clearly has a lot more americans than anything else,, why would he know it was canada day?? this is the first time i'm hearing about canada day and im following several canadian youtubers, y'all just dont talk about the holiday enough lmao
@@cloudbrooks And I'm not American, yet I know when your Independence Day is. We're your closest neighbours, y'all could bother learning, like, three facts about our history. LOL
The Declaration of Independence is a document that announced the separation of 13 British colonies in North America from Great Britain. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and is considered the founding document of the United States. The declaration stated the principles on which the new nation was based, such as the right to choose their own government and to defend their rights. It was a rebuke and a stumbling-block to tyranny and oppression
My black lab LOVES fireworks. He "chases" the Roman candle balls as they shoot out into the air then wags his tail while he snifs the ground for as long as you let him after, running all over the yard like a maniac. He's obsessed with Roman candles and fireworks. We're in the country and get a hella show every night for like 4 days around the 4th. He'll just lay down and watch them with us. It's very odd.
Drone light shows are getting more popular, and I couldn't be happier because they are far more interesting than fireworks in every conceivable way. Also far less chance of setting a national forest on fire during the hottest, driest time of year.
as an autistic person i DREAD the 4th. image a dog cowering under the couch in fear of fire works, but instead its a 17 year old guy. under the couch. in fear of the fireworks. at least my friend makes fun of me for it?
I'm also autistic; my parents tried to take me to my first fireworks show when I was a couple months shy of two years old. The very first firework sent me into a sobbing meltdown-I begged to go back to the car, rocked back and forth in my little car seat, and tried every self-soothing technique my toddler brain had absorbed. My parents spent about ten minutes failing to console me before buckling me back in the seat and going home, feeling like the worst parents in the world. I somehow managed to not get diagnosed until adulthood
As an autistic, I don’t mind loud sounds as I hunt and listen to thunderstorms. I just get nervous around all the hillbilly 16-18 year olds that are 6’, 5’’ and I’m 17 and only 5’, 1’’ with a little ‘02 Nissan Frontier to match

I went to Dubai for New Years once. And I gotta say, it was something else. We were out in the desert chilling with drinks and grilling and such… As soon as midnight struck, the whole horizon looked like the sky was on fire. It was honestly amazing.
As a New Zealander who has never been nor will go to america i much prefer our 4th july of tradition Its a country wide holiday which can basically be boiled down to “Those stars in particular are cool and only come once a year so lets set up homemade food markets to go to and vibe”
8:47 speaking of large food protions, here in morocco, we eat 75 percent of our food with BREAD. Our second most popular dish is just meat and a bnch of veggies, maybe fish or potatoes. We also eat fries with bread when we can. BREAD WITH BREAD
The holiday sucks, but I have one amazing memory of the holiday when I was at a fun place that had a inflatable slide, singers, pizza from a firewood pizza oven, and some awesome fireworks. And spending it with the homie was awesome; so it holds a great place in my heart.
During a firework show the place thought it would be a good idea to have a surprise pyrotechnics show and everyone thought something went terribly wrong and called the fire department and the place had to make a public apology I just kept thinking of this 😂😂love the video big tugg!
dogs don't hate fireworks, they just act scared cuz people act like they should be scared, if you just don't act like it's gonna be a traumatic experience for your dog, it wont give a shit
Yeah, I remember watching the hot dog eating contest one year and some guy started eating his own vomit. Did I mention I was at a restaurant while this was broadcasted? Nothing more appetizing than watching people shove food in their faces until they barf

My heart goes out to all those band kids, especially percussionists, who are marching in the hot sun, in full uniform, needing to play music the whole time.
The Fourth of July is genuinely one of my least favorite times of the year.
There's nothing wrong with celebrating our country, of course. Light some fireworks. It is a tradition, after all. However, it gets ridiculous when the firework launches are extending into midnight and sometimes even early morning hours when people are trying to sleep. Not only is it ridiculous, its incredibly insensitive to literally anyone who wants to get some rest. Especially people like me who already have sleeping issues.
Oh yeah, and it's not just the fourth of July either. The entire week following the holiday also has the potential for this.
Bro I got to be up at 3 am for work and they been shooting off all week already
it’s like 6 pm where i live rn and people are already doing fireworks, it sucks 💀
Lol be glad you don't live in Utah. We celebrate pioneer day here (the 24th of July) as well as the 4th. There's literally festivals and events that last all month cuz of it. The days of 47 parades rodeos, and if course fireworks all. Month. Long. Every. Year. It's a god damn nightmare 😂
We get fireworks from May until late August. It never ends.
Where do you all live? That is insane
00:48 "I'm an American, I acknowledge my mistakes; I don't fix them." made me laugh so hard.
Dude I just found your channel and youve been making me laugh ever since
It’s really sweet how you guys love your national day. In my country it’s just another day, maybe there’s some music festival somewhere but that’s it.
At this point, July 4th is just an excuse for my extended family to get together and make a warcrime level of damn good BBQ, and thats good for me
i find it hilarious describing bbq as so good its a warcrime, thats so american
as a band kid, I can in fact confirm that I am held yearly against my will to march across my town with a trumpet
As a floridian our alligators are delivering our merican flags and we are doing merican things this tuesday, AMERICAAAA HECK YEA WE GOT THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
Darn I should have been there yesterday
God damnit, I remember those damn parades. As a band student in those uncomfy, hot ass uniforms, marching for a mile (half of it uphill) in uncomfortable shoes was always the worst. No one I knew actually enjoyed those damn parades yet every year we'd have to do it again
Same! Why tf are the shoes so uncomfy :(
I don't understand. I'm from Britain so I don't understand your Americas.
Bro, every year I dread 4th of July coming. I have a serious phobia of loud sounds, likely due to my autism. I can never be outside that day. While I hate fireworks, I do still like looking at them behind a closed window, cuz they are still pretty. So that's how I spend my 4th of Julys, eating dinner by my large window in the dark to watch the fireworks. Sadly, it's lonely.
SAAAME! I hate the 4th of July for the same reasons, and I always end up getting overstimulated during the fireworks :P But hey, it's nice to know that there's someone else that feels the same way about the 4th, so I don't feel left out :3 Anyways, I hope you have a good 4th of July weekend, despite all the noise :D
@theironcross2933 so clearly you're neurotypical
@@rejects_forever Thanks! I stocked up on food so I don't run out when the dreaded day comes (unlike my first 4th on my own-)
@Sly-Moose Of course! I'm glad you're prepared, and I hope you get to enjoy your 4th of July!
Id recommend investing in ear plugs, I have similar sound issues though not due to autism and ear plugs are the only reason I can do about anything on the 4th of July or in any other loud setting.
I actually grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, and it's so cool you mentioned us! The fence painting is just one of many many things that we do involving Tom Sawyer. Each year, the town honors two young people (there are runner ups ) to represent Tom and Becky. There are other requirements such as having to write an essay, having an accurate costume, and even a frog race! Tom and Becky go to each event the town hosts and will even tag along with cave tours! I went to the Mark Twain cave with my partner last year and we had a Tom and Becky. They reenact a part from the book in the cave for everyone and it's very sweet and precious. I grew up hating Mark Twain because that town shoved it down our throats, but now that I don't live there, I have a much greater appreciation for his work.
I'm from Columbia and am surprised he didn't mention us when he got to fireworks wars. Before the guy that organized them died, we had some of the largest ones in the country
Grew up in Hannibal also.... Tom Sawyer days is a big deal!
Love ur videos, so funny, yet informative.
And as a foreigner in this country, I can say I appreciate it more thanks to this video.
✌🏾
I actually do a “pet safe” firework” show for my cats. They love shiny lights so what I do is turn on the tv, turn the volume down a lot, and let them watch it. All the shiny lights they want without the ptsd. They also get more treats and catnip.
Ever since being a dog owner became my entire personality, I have come to loathe fireworks for how much they scare my precious boy.
Same
I respect you. It's not often people acknowledge that a singular thing becomes their entire personality and they lose all else that used to be interesting about them. Good for you. Gays and vegans could learn a thing or two from you.
@@80PercentScottishit’s not that deep bro
@@80PercentScottish So you're cool with people being one-note as long as they admit that they are? Lol
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e at least it shows they're honest and not pretentious.
Hi. You standing up against big parades inspired me to stand up as well. I will no longer stay silent. Every year, I am forced to walk for 2 hours with a fur coffin over my head, hands, and feet. I have decided to term my fursuit as a fur coffin to emphasize how they force me into this, giving me near heat stroke. Every time I throw out candy, I get reminded of the candy that was taken from me... Please help us. Listen to our calls, please
I only recently learned that hot dog eating contest, though they advertise it as being like 100 years old, just started in... like the 70s. They just made up the other date because they wanted it to sound more important.
not to mention the traffic after the fireworks, i’ve never felt more panicked on the road then trying to get off work and see explosions only to be late and end of on the highway for an hour 🙂
As someone who fears loud sounds the 4th is the bane of my existence. I can’t go on a night walk because for the whole month people are blowing up bomb level fire works
Listen here "Tugg" fireworks can be fun in the right scenario. For where I live they did a 20 min firework show and 10-15 min grand finale that was right next to this bridge that goes over this huge river and you get right up and personal with the fireworks. Its a totally different experience and the finale is dope. So in a totally perfect scenario that's not very specific and everyone in the country totally has, fireworks can be fun.
There's an event in Calgary AB called "GlobalFest", and they do 5 nights of international fireworks displays. I went once as a kid, and they were the most amazing fireworks I've ever seen in my life.
On Canada day, Calgary does a fireworks show that syncs to the music on a specific radio station.
I don’t mind people setting off fireworks in the 4th of July, I don’t like people who do it before or after the 4th though, especially when it’s getting into like 1:00AM before they stop.
9:51 was my favorite part of the whole video, I love it when Bigg Catt is part of the videos
I don't understand anything about you America's.
I don't know who's gonna understand this but this man had the balls to post a video about July 4th on Canada day
Now I'm mad 💀💀🔥🔥😈😈
Y'know he probably isn't even aware.
He probably didn’t know. He’s American after all
Americans have absolutely no idea that Canada day is July 1.
we arent canadian 😭 he is not canadian, his channel's audience clearly has a lot more americans than anything else,, why would he know it was canada day?? this is the first time i'm hearing about canada day and im following several canadian youtubers, y'all just dont talk about the holiday enough lmao
@@cloudbrooks And I'm not American, yet I know when your Independence Day is. We're your closest neighbours, y'all could bother learning, like, three facts about our history. LOL
The Declaration of Independence is a document that announced the separation of 13 British colonies in North America from Great Britain. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and is considered the founding document of the United States. The declaration stated the principles on which the new nation was based, such as the right to choose their own government and to defend their rights. It was a rebuke and a stumbling-block to tyranny and oppression
Found ons finally
My black lab LOVES fireworks. He "chases" the Roman candle balls as they shoot out into the air then wags his tail while he snifs the ground for as long as you let him after, running all over the yard like a maniac. He's obsessed with Roman candles and fireworks. We're in the country and get a hella show every night for like 4 days around the 4th. He'll just lay down and watch them with us. It's very odd.
once again you took a dull subject and made it relateable and funny. You are the best at this. Love watching your clips, they always deliver!
"going at war with the sky, seems like something we'd do" I agree
Drone light shows are getting more popular, and I couldn't be happier because they are far more interesting than fireworks in every conceivable way. Also far less chance of setting a national forest on fire during the hottest, driest time of year.
Big Tugg uploaded, you know it’s gonna be a good day
You’re just doing the fireworks wrong, you gotta light them yourself. That’s where the entertainment comes in, the panicky sprint away
almost every summer I spend Fourth of July in Puerto Rico and over there everyone acts like its just another Tuesday
Shouldn't they? xD
I don't blame them. The rest of the US thinks of Puerto Rico as a completely different country.
Making it a tradition to watch this on 4th of July every year
Your cat at the end was the best part. Also 100% valid opinions
I’ve grown up around Hannibal,Mo where the fence painting is and it’s definitely a thing. There isn’t much there but Mark Twain stuff and meth. Lol
Next big tugg video:why life kinda sucks
It's pretty true tho
that firework sparkler noise at 2:02 was fucking spot on hahhaha
2:58 HE PLAYS ULTRAKILL! LETS GO!
Hell yeah brother hit that shit
as an autistic person i DREAD the 4th. image a dog cowering under the couch in fear of fire works, but instead its a 17 year old guy. under the couch. in fear of the fireworks. at least my friend makes fun of me for it?
I'm also autistic; my parents tried to take me to my first fireworks show when I was a couple months shy of two years old. The very first firework sent me into a sobbing meltdown-I begged to go back to the car, rocked back and forth in my little car seat, and tried every self-soothing technique my toddler brain had absorbed. My parents spent about ten minutes failing to console me before buckling me back in the seat and going home, feeling like the worst parents in the world. I somehow managed to not get diagnosed until adulthood
As an autistic, I don’t mind loud sounds as I hunt and listen to thunderstorms. I just get nervous around all the hillbilly 16-18 year olds that are 6’, 5’’ and I’m 17 and only 5’, 1’’ with a little ‘02 Nissan Frontier to match

You’ve had it too good for too long if you think lighting the sky on fire is boring.
0:01 who wrote that song? It's fantastic!
Bro is this a callback to my old TikTok??? Wild callback if so lol
@@biggtugg it is lol
As someone in the UK who is born on the 4th of July and is petrified of fireworks, it does in fact suck 😂
I celebrate 4th of July so I can laugh at Europe more than I usually do.
you are the best kind of person
We're not the ones who have to attend parades while wearing the pepsi colors 😂

You fuckin killed them dude.
You are correct. Everyone should do that. This is the REAL reson The Fourth of July should exist.
This video hits different while riding to Cedar Point for 4th of July
1:16
>says declaration of independence
>shows constitution
Lol
oh my god I love this video so much PLEASE I'm begging for more stuff like this. Like your humor is just perfect with the over amount of sarcasm omg I love you so much please do more!❤❤
the random lounge of the kitty had me in stitches 😂😂😂
“We’re far over here and we fuckin love it” instantly made me feel better about my body
Love you big daddy tugg keep up the work

Today is Canada Day🇨🇦 in three days happy Fourth of July America😁🇺🇸
I went to Dubai for New Years once. And I gotta say, it was something else. We were out in the desert chilling with drinks and grilling and such…
As soon as midnight struck, the whole horizon looked like the sky was on fire. It was honestly amazing.
I'll be waiting for the video where he just goes "Why life kinda sucks"
I like the shiny things in the sky. And when there are kids around the magic feels real again.
You haven't had a good 4th of July until you give a random frog a religious experience )
As someone who’s birthday is the 4th of July it sucks and this video explains everything that I feel
I'm getting unreasonably invested in American history lately as an eastern European teenager
They are SO patriotic in Florida, the fireworks start on the 1st and go nonstop until like 2am on the fifth
As a New Zealander who has never been nor will go to america i much prefer our 4th july of tradition
Its a country wide holiday which can basically be boiled down to “Those stars in particular are cool and only come once a year so lets set up homemade food markets to go to and vibe”
yoooooo that sounds awesome!
8:47 speaking of large food protions, here in morocco, we eat 75 percent of our food with BREAD. Our second most popular dish is just meat and a bnch of veggies, maybe fish or potatoes. We also eat fries with bread when we can. BREAD WITH BREAD
7:17 yes people are forced to march in parades,
i was one of them as a child IN THE SNOW.
i wasn't given a coat.
The holiday sucks, but I have one amazing memory of the holiday when I was at a fun place that had a inflatable slide, singers, pizza from a firewood pizza oven, and some awesome fireworks. And spending it with the homie was awesome; so it holds a great place in my heart.
As a Hannibal resident, being made fun of by Big Tugg is the highlight of my week
I'm from Hannibal also, it's not about watching paint dry LOL.
During a firework show the place thought it would be a good idea to have a surprise pyrotechnics show and everyone thought something went terribly wrong and called the fire department and the place had to make a public apology I just kept thinking of this 😂😂love the video big tugg!
9:13 Someone put it on a shirt
I showed my cousin this video and she seemed amazed at the idea of the Fence Painting contest
Love the new hair tucker
dogs don't hate fireworks, they just act scared cuz people act like they should be scared, if you just don't act like it's gonna be a traumatic experience for your dog, it wont give a shit
No, not really
As someone who resides in San Diego iam not surprised this happened at all 2:18
My block has a block party for the 4th and there’s roadblocks and someone has a “bar” I front of a house
The intro made everyone feels so patriotic
a marching band playing “The Cyber Grind” would 100% make my day
Recommended at the exact right time 😂
I'm so glad to finally see longer content. I love your shorts
bro is a whole history lesson
fireworks are a lot more fun if you’re the one lighting them off
7:25 my poor step dad works for a city goverment and he had to be at one from 9 am to 11 pm so yes
Yeah, I remember watching the hot dog eating contest one year and some guy started eating his own vomit. Did I mention I was at a restaurant while this was broadcasted? Nothing more appetizing than watching people shove food in their faces until they barf
My puppy is so weird she is ok with fireworks but hates the car 6:42
America is one of the most diverse places to vacation, we have beaches, mountains, deserts, plains, big cities you can go skiing, surfing, mountain climbing, hunting, lay on the beach, or go to a cabin in the mountains and never leave the U.S
Keep up the good work!

isnt everything fun when ur hammered?
