Some of the jingle bits in this video will forever live in my brain rent free. "NO! THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZERRRR"

Knox is posting another reaction. Dudes got a pretty sick understanding of history. We could make a religion out of that.

I'm glad this is getting respected more often

Just wanted to point out that The Entire History of The World, I Guess is a loop. The last line in “where the hell are we” and the first is “you’re on a rock floating in space”

I love this approach to history. We don't need to know the exact date when things happened. But we should understand the whys of historical events and how those events informed and created the next. Then, if the person's interest is piqued by an event, they can choose to learn more.

So the reason there's a "intermission" when he mentions Japan is because he made a "History of Japan" video before this one. Definitely recommend it!

Knox having a good understanding of history and recent events is heartwarming.

"Nothing is nowhere" Rapper brain activated I love how Knox has to break down bars even though there are no bars. 🤣 Oh also, the "You can make a religion out of this" about the French Revolution wasn't really an inside joke. They actually tried to make a religion called "Cult of the Supreme Being" - it didn't work. Hence the "no, don't" in the video. I never get tired of watching this video, it's absolutely brilliant. This should be shown in every high school History class in the US. It's totally perfect for the TikTok generation but also incredibly informative. Sets a great foundation for diving deeper into important topics.

At 32:25 - As you are describing World War I, it occurs to me that you would appreciate Bill Wurtz's "History of Japan." It is the same style, but with Japan as its main focus. I think you will enjoy it, and I would look forward to your analysis of that video, too.

I love how Bill Wurtz covered every part of the world and didn't shy away from the bad things that happened. He didn't pull any punches nor sugarcoat anything. I hope Bill (or someone) cleans up the language before playing the video in school. It's a great introduction to science and history. I loved your reactions throughout.

Actually impressed that you know so much about history. I'm just so used to seeing people that have no clue what happened even 40 years ago and it is wild! Made my day :)

When I was a kid my dad bought me one of those projection thing that would project the stars of the Greek mythology on my bedroom ceiling at night along with a CD audio that would narrate what each star represented and the backstory of them. That was the coolest thing ever.

Fun fact the reason the Nordics called Greenland that was to get people to go there and settle. Which they wouldn't do if they actually knew how bad it was so yeah they did literally prank their own people 😄

I love watching reactions to this video. Everyone has their own input on certain parts of history and I love hearing what everyone has to say about the many different moments in history.

For anyone wondering, yes this is what having ADHD is like

21:13 fun fact: Genghis or Chingus Khan is a title- which means “Universal Ruler”. His actual name was Temujin. His Son, Ögedi, inherited the title of Khan. The other “great” khan we know about is Kublai (though his title is actually Setsen Khan) and was the fifth Mongol/Chinese emperor.

One quick note as the spouse of a Jewish person, it was Judaism that was being referenced by the God with a "Ten-Step Program", not Christianity. That one didn't come till later with the guy who got killed for being too popular.

I consistently browse youtube for people reacting to this video and also History of Japan because so many people from different backgrounds have different expertise in the topics/events that Bill Wurtz mentions, so even seeing which jokes or references people recognize is fascinating based on their background and passion for history. Therefore seeing a reaction of it from someone who I already watch reactions from like Knox is an insane collab and even more-so when Knox seems to recognize almost every reference! I also hope this inspires more content creators to react to this because despite the large amount of views, I still think it deserves to have billions rather than millions. What a video.

When he does the "You could make a religion out of thi-" "No, don't" bit in terms of the French revolutio, tht because it literally almost happened, which kinda makes it funnier because while it is an inside joke, it's also just actually what happened.
