Okay for any of you about to nitpick me, I'm aware that in the actual story, Kvasir's blood is brewed into mead, which is not the same thing as beer. I took this creative liberty so I could include the image of Odin doing three keg stands in a row. Nobody on this earth can convince me that isn't a worthy sacrifice. Though I suppose you could just put mead in a beer keg. ....... Shit.
It is funny to me that despite the Norse not being great with records they have one of the most well known mythologies along with Egypt, a nation that kept so many records even their walls had words on them.
It's presumably because both modern academic history and much of western pop culture has its roots in Britain, and the Norse religion played a major role in Britain's history, and so it got a lot of attention.
I love how you can have a title that sounds like total nonsense, and I, reasonably well-versed in Norse Mythology, just go "yep, that sounds about right."
@@aguyontheinternet8436 FERMENTED bloody spit, which doesn't really make it sound better. Edit: Okay, it was actually bloody spit mixed with fermented honey. ...yeah, ...still sounds gross.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of this, but I love how Odin is almost the complete opposite of Zeus in this case. However, instead of bedding her and leaving her with yet another child of his, he only came for the poetry beer. Once he got close enough, he yoink'd and never looked back.
He did leave her with a child, but that seems to be much less dangerous in nordic mythology than in Greek, as no one is gunning for the childs life by default. Plus this seems to be a more rare occurrence for Odin where for zeus its just a tuesday
Aw, this story is so much cuter when what he does with Gunnlod is changed to be like a Romcom rather than ...well you can read that yourself if you want.
@Leonardo Res just look into different creation stories if you want something different. There's a Scottish one about a god becoming a tree, and an African one about a god named either Bumba or Mbombo who created the world from his vomit.
Hilarious! I love this tale. Have you heard of the one where Thor is challenged by the Jötun king, Útgarða-Loki/Utgard-Loki? Because that’s definitely a fun one😆
i love how even when galar messes up its still a haiku 2:13 Uh, yeah, sure, oh wait I gotta keep the meter Damn, haikus are hard 2:56 We have magic beer Uh, syllable, syllable Haikus are stupid The dedication good god
Couple of things from the video: 1. Odin catfishing a girl for beer? Well depending on what I've read from the rest of mythology(Zeus turning into animals and hooking up with random women and so on and so forth), this seems like the most tame thing I've ever heard of. 2. They didn't write down their stuff. I don't blame them, getting physical records is annoying. 3. Rebecca's kinda cute, do you think she'd go on a date with me? 4. A dwarf named Galar? How ironic I was just playing Pokemon Shield. 5. The dwarfs made beer out of blood? Well considering that 30 seconds ago the gods made a guy out of spit this isn't too crazy. 6. Fjallar is the poetic guy. I like this. 7. For the drinking part you had a missed opportunity to use the Minecraft drinking sound
“Uh yeah sure, oh wait I gotta keep the meter Damn haikus are hard” Muy bien!! Loved that touch with the haiku and attention to detail, amazing writing!!
I want to hear the myth about Widdle Slippy and the sentient pair of tweezers. I would say this couldn't happen. but this is Norse mythology and we have a boat made out of dead people toe nails.
@@JakeDoubleyoo hey ik you obviously do a lot of research on these videos but do you get inspiration for these videos from magnus chase or percy jackson, if not check out books by rick riordan as a mythology fan you would enjoy the references and the modern twists on them
@@unlinedphoton7965 Percy Jackson was what sparked my interest in Greek Mythology as a kid (and I've referenced it in some of my Greek videos), but I never really got into the later books. Never read Magnus Chase.
@@JakeDoubleyoo oh ok cool. Actually magnus chase isnt as good as pj but if you havnt, read heroes of olympus the first book is boring but the rest are great
The best part is that the cartoon drill is not an exaggeration. In the myth Odin literally uses a drill, though a manual one which would have looked the worlds shittiest toy boat.
Oddly educational, but also funny and light hearted, also compelling and interesting. It's like a cinnamon roll with pizzas and tacos, topped with whipped cream, unorthodox but delicious.
I like to believe that the Thuatha de Danan from Ireland are the forgotten Vanir gods. And maybe some of the Gaelic and Slavic Deities like Cernunnos or Perun.
So what you're telling me is.... the 8th generation of pokemon murdered Kvasir and gaslit Purrserker so he became really big towards the end of his native game as revenge, but was beaten by a teenager so they could get that sweet experience and continue on to assault the Chairman of the Galar Pokemon League and break his sweet copper elephant statue. I mean it's not like he just wanted a sustainable option for powering the entire region and turned to an eldritch, dark dimension hand deity to achieve this, of which the only way to stop such a powerful being is to beat him up alongside Artorias' bestie and a dog who saw the bread cat meme that one time and recreated it with a dinner platter. Only to trap this super strong being inside a small, metal ball that converts it into a dragon made of stickle bricks.... TL;DR? Norse Mythology is the reason for Pokemon Sword and Shield.....
There are actually Norse Vanir Gods and Godesses, although the information is scarse: Ullr (possibly the god of the hunt), Sól and Máni (Godess of the sun and god of the Moon respectively; few is known of them apart from the fact that they carry the sun and the moon and that they will be killed by Fenrir's children), Aegir (although he is also a Jötunn he can be considered a Vanir, because of their connection to nature), Vana (possibly the goddess of Magic), and many others. I belive they were not mentioned in the poetic edda, but in the prose edda mentions them, so it should be taken with a grain of salt
Oh my gods, you guys. That part at the end about the stuff that comes out the other end? _That is mythically accurate!_ The eagle droppings Odin produced while escaping Suttungr contained some of the mead, and it's said that any wannabe rhymester can drink from this tainted mead if they really want to, but it won't make them as good as "real poets".
Frigg: say what you want to about Odin, but at least he’s faithful. Gunnlod: hey do you know where your husband is? frigg: oh sure, why did you want to see him? Gunnlod: child support. Frigg: ...well now I owe Hera 500 bucks I guess.
Want an interesting creation story to work on? Check out the story of Mbombo, also called Bumba. He created the world from his vomit which honestly would explain a lot about the world.
Where did you find this Ive read allot of mythology Im from sweden but I dont know thid one so well if at all. Wonder if theres more I haven't heard of.

hey, great video (i assume it hasnt premiered yet)
ah yes I’m expecting this intro
“Welcome to Greek mythology…with Jake”
Do Egyptian mythology
I have no idea what you mean but yes.
Please make a video on how humans have knowledge!! (According to norse mythology)
It is funny to me that despite the Norse not being great with records they have one of the most well known mythologies along with Egypt, a nation that kept so many records even their walls had words on them.
This comment is gold
It's because the fragments that survived are just incredibly entrating
Really is funny, Norse mythology is relatively lacking compared to Greek and Egyptian yet it's so well known.
It's presumably because both modern academic history and much of western pop culture has its roots in Britain, and the Norse religion played a major role in Britain's history, and so it got a lot of attention.
@@xarxos5274 ah that would make sense
Hats off to oden for actually doing the work of 9 men and not just using some loophole to get out of it.
well he's a god he could do the work of hundreds of men in his sleep
Well he does have all of eternity, I guess he can afford to blow a summer on something arbitrary.
Knowing Odin, he probably was genuinely curious about this "farm-labour" business.
the guys the king of the gods and his power is probably only surpassed by thor.
He could do the work of a thousand men without a sweat.
@@Jermain-cz4bh Still, if God came and washed my dishes for me I'd still take my hat off for him.
I love how you can have a title that sounds like total nonsense, and I, reasonably well-versed in Norse Mythology, just go "yep, that sounds about right."
It sure makes clickbait easy.
Using beer instead of mead was worth it to see The Allfather do three keg stands.
Until you realize that that was pretty much just bloody spit, which probably tasted as good as it sounds
Also, it's one of those "funnier word" instances the Nostalgia Critic mentioned: mead *silence,* beer *hahaha!*
@@aguyontheinternet8436 FERMENTED bloody spit, which doesn't really make it sound better.
Edit: Okay, it was actually bloody spit mixed with fermented honey. ...yeah, ...still sounds gross.
@@aguyontheinternet8436 It was magical, so I doubt it was that bad.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of this, but I love how Odin is almost the complete opposite of Zeus in this case. However, instead of bedding her and leaving her with yet another child of his, he only came for the poetry beer. Once he got close enough, he yoink'd and never looked back.
Well in the original myth he does pull a zeus so...
That's why I like Odin as a king of the Gods much more than Zeus.
He did leave her with a child, but that seems to be much less dangerous in nordic mythology than in Greek, as no one is gunning for the childs life by default.
Plus this seems to be a more rare occurrence for Odin where for zeus its just a tuesday
@B M
@@Emily12471 Besides, Frigg had her share of affairs behind Odin's back as well.
The "I heard it works every time." got me laughing so hard
OH YES SAME
Always felt bad for Gunnlod, she just wanted love :(
Odin also kinda felt bad for that in Hávamál
5:24 why does this montage give Hallmark christmas movie vibes
Aw, this story is so much cuter when what he does with Gunnlod is changed to be like a Romcom rather than ...well you can read that yourself if you want.
It's amazing that you're at a point where you have made Norse mythology OCs
After ur finished with norse what mythology are you gonna do next? Egypt? Mayans? Japanese?
I still have plenty of material for both Greek and Norse mythology. I'll just start including more bodies of folklore as I go.
@Leonardo Res just look into different creation stories if you want something different. There's a Scottish one about a god becoming a tree, and an African one about a god named either Bumba or Mbombo who created the world from his vomit.

It's mythology that's the least weird thing I've heard lol
Odin: and that son is how you were born

Have you heard of the one where Thor is challenged by the Jötun king, Útgarða-Loki/Utgard-Loki? Because that’s definitely a fun one😆

oh yeah the one where he chugs the entire ocean and doesn't even notice? that's a kicker!
@@drowningindanile7184 For sure! It's a fun one ^^

Uh, yeah, sure, oh wait
I gotta keep the meter
Damn, haikus are hard
2:56
We have magic beer
Uh, syllable, syllable
Haikus are stupid
The dedication good god

0:22 I would like to see a sitcom with those guys in it
Not even half way through and I'm cracking up. Love how suttung has a horn from each parent
There's actually a good book on norse mythology it's called Neil gaiman Norse mythology and I'm happy to say it made me laugh a bit
Same bro I love that book
I love that book read The graphic novel adabtation and it was great also jake did read it he said In the video about norse mythology being complicated
0:59 Briliant 😂 I adore your videos on Norse Myths!
The running bit of the poems just keeps on giving
Love the content can't wait to see more! I hope you keep this series up it really cheers me up :)
Odin realising he only has nubs for hands makes me laugh every time 😂

Wow, odin didn't even zues the lady?
This seems so wrong after reading so much about Greek mythology.
He absolutely Zeus'd her.
@@JakeDoubleyoo In this context; Zeus'd means grape without the G. So no, he did not Zeus her. Odin's a chad

ok
@@JakeDoubleyoo would you do Indian Myth?
I’m so in love with this channel thank for sharing your knowledge through very amusing cartoonish and funny way
The bit with Fjallar saying the inspirational quotes makes me always crack up
the Shakespeare cameo was wonderful-
now there is a video that has both my hyperfixation over Shakespeare and my hyperfixation over mythology
i like how snorri transisioned from bragi telling this story to straigh up an ad of his poetry course

evil thor belike: doesn’t want to start a genocide every 2 seconds:
Just discovered this channel. I have to listen to Jake at 0.75 speed and he sounds like the guy who explained what a plumbus is. I love it!
you deserve a million subs, i love watching your content
Bro, your videos are awesome. And it would be great if you upload more frequently.
4:41 IS THAT A GURREN LAGANN REFERENCE, OH HELL YES

Him ssying Fjallar everytime he drops poetry kills me🤣🤣🤣
y'know if a sentient pair of tweezers came up to me and told me it's a god , i would obey its every command
2:56 I cannot believe that this is an actual haikou 💀
You are my favourite youtube channel now
New video from Jake himself
Pretty pog
Your norse mythology vieeos are my favourite lol great work please keep it up
Fjallar just randomly spouting poetry is priceless
3:48 didn’t know jake was a happy tree friends animator
"Odin catfished a girl for beer" is the most Viking thing I ever heard, assuming the Norse and the Vikings are the same
I love this channel
Why do these videos teach me more about what my ancestors believed in than what school did
Baugi and Fjallar are the best characters in this whole video
Oddly educational, but also funny and light hearted, also compelling and interesting.
It's like a cinnamon roll with pizzas and tacos, topped with whipped cream, unorthodox but delicious.
hmm yes, Beer > Girl
well i mean he banged the girl too, just he did it to get the mead of poetry
Good deal
Fr
Trevor Belmont moment
Thinking like my dad
4:43 bro i know that drill anywhere, that has to be the gurren lagann drill
I really like the designs of the Dwarves in these videos.
Am I the only one who noticed the gurren lagann reference at 4:47?
Yay I love his vidssssss
Fjallar was a tragic artist truly ahead of his time 😔
I like to believe that the Thuatha de Danan from Ireland are the forgotten Vanir gods. And maybe some of the Gaelic and Slavic Deities like Cernunnos or Perun.

Exactly what I showed. He threw the whetstone and they all accidentally killed each other with their scythes in their scramble to catch it.
@@JakeDoubleyoo HOW?!? out of all the things i've seen this has got to take the cake for being the most weirdly specific thing devoid of any logic
It's better if you think of it like a slapstick Looney Tunes scene.
