They haven't changed. Still as addicted to sugar as ever. 😢😭
Come on Christmas music in september 🤔👎
Too long
An hour long compilation on eating habits? Man, that's something.
Traditional pasties are pronounced "pas-tee", not "pays-tee" 🥟
Most of these recipes are so nasty, but thank you for actually calling yams YAMS and not sweet potatoes.
American Cuisine at its purest these first 15 min haha
May every meal feel more special after watching this journey of food through history 🥗⏳. Many thanks to Weird History for their wonderful effort!
A two hour compilation with my favorite narrator! Yes please.
6th chapter is borked.
Let me get 1, 2, 3, hold 4, maybe 5, hold 6, 7 sounds good hold 8, hold 9, 10 is mine hold 11 I'm not fat
59:30 and till the end of the video, the audio doesnt work and the video image is distorted.
These recipes sound gross!
The upload is messed up an hour on
Did the video mess up for anyone around the hour mark and like completely lose sound and become static. I’m scared
I'd use real whipped cream rather than Kool-Whip.
During a particularly lean time in my childhood, my dad did the best he could to keep our tummies full: powdered milk was a staple and rice pudding for every meal for a week stand out in my memory.
Poaching eggs?
No wonder us Americans are hated
WTF is up with your sound?
Please fix the audiovideo issues, guys! 😳This is unwatchable.
The thumbnail is confusing.
I don’t think humans typically ate shoes like Mr. Chaplin.
From 59:31 through the rest of the video it is unwatchable.
Shame…
7:35 ah yes whipped cream
Wow nice story!
I enjoy these compilations but wish they were in chronological order. This jumbled order is a bit jarring.
Re-upload please. Video got messed up…
Two of my favorite things – history and sarcasm – and one of my worst: silence…😶
At 59:36 the video seems to distort and stop. Then images start to come back at 1:00:46 but are still distorted. And audio stops at 59:36 and never returns.
Fascinating to see how food reflects culture, technology, and even politics through the ages.
At 59:25 video is broken. I blame DEI hires.
For about the second half of your video, there was no sound. Add scheme on But when the programming came on, it was silent
The last 4 videos didn’t load correctly
I have a complaint. You were reaming King Charles III of Spain a new one. The Bourbon King.
The Monarch of Spain is still the Bourbon King, currently His Catholic Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain. King Felipe of Spain is arguably one of the most popular monarchs in the world. The current Bourbon King. He holds the NATO rank of a 5 star general. He is damn handsome too. He is awesome for a King and I'm an American. Spain is in NATO and a key ally of the US. You want to start an international incident? You should apologize.
As for the Spanish King Charles III, he was the King of Spain during the American Revolutionary War and frankly without his help and war declaration against England in 1779 in support of the Colonist, maybe the USA never happens. Bernardo de Galvez turned the tide of the war and became George Washington's war time BFF. You want history that's not that well known but should be. There you go. For his efforts in helping the US win the American Revolutionary War, Bernardo de Galvez was made the 8th Honorary US Citizen. You should do a podcast on that.
I love that Stephen Colbert narrates this channel!! ☮️💟
YUM.
59:35 is when the Video gets messed up as in the video didn't upload right and needs to be fixed.
What is up with audio and visual?
For a second i thought my headphones were broken but no, the video's audio just cuts out after an hour.
For everyone complaining, it’s a compilation video, so you can search for all the last parts (titles are in the description).
I love your video. No anger, no politics, no negativity.
