 history of the entire world, i guess (Web Video)
comment
history of the entire world, i guess is a video made by bill wurtz, a follow up to his 2016 video history of japan. The video condenses the entire history of Earth, from the universe's formation to the very near future, summing up nearly every major event usually taught in standard Western World History classes (and some which aren't), into a 20 minute crash course with the aid of catchy jingles and humorous visuals.Not to be confused with History of the World Part I.Watch it here.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: When Bill describes the Bronze Age, he notes that tin is necessary to make bronze, but that he doesn't know where it comes from because "his dealer won't tell him".

comment
Tempting Fate: The narrator ponders on whether Buddhism would reach China by the time it breaks up again. As soon as he finishes his sentence, China breaks up into three kingdoms. "Don't worry about Rome, it won't fall." "The Mongols just invaded most of the universe. Nice going, Genghis! I bet that will last a long time." Mongolia then immediately breaks into several large kingdoms. About World War One: "It's gonna be a Great War. So great we won't need a second one." During the 1920s: "Hopefully the Arabs won't mind giving part of Palestine to Israel for the Jewish people to live. And dividing up the land between Israel and Palestine will surely make everyone happy."

Black Comedy: There were already hints of it in the original, but it's in full force here. "(PERMIAN EXTINCTION) Aw, fuck, now everything's dead." The Black Death gets a comically short mention: "Whoops, half of Europe just died." "The Aztecs and Inca empires are off to a good start. Wonder if they know that Europe just discovered their continent..." (Grim Reaper Looms) On European powers colonizing the Americas: "We gotta start pillaging some stuff." "Damn," said Amsterdam. (Beat) "We gotta start pillaging some stuff." "[Sugar plantations in the Caribbean] are so goddamn profitable, you might forget to not do slavery." "I know! Let's rape Africa!" said Europe, scrambling to see who could rape it the fastest."note Don't worry, they never got Ethiopia. "Britain and France are still hungry."note Don't worry, they never got Thailand. "Germany's back, featuring Hitler the angry moustache model! And he's mad at the Jews for existing!" "Japan is finally conquering the east, and they're so excited about it they rape Nanking way too hard. They should probably just deny it." 9/11: "Whoops, someone just attacked America. I bet they'll remember that."

 history of the entire world, i guess (Web Video) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: A portrait of King Louis XVI is labelled as "King Louis the XIV," most likely due to general misconceptions of who was ruling during the French revolution. The section on the 19th century briefly implies that the Mexican-American War happened after the American Civil War; it was actually more than a decade before it, and was one of the events that helped spark it.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: "I have nightmares" appears briefly during the Big Bang. During the foundation of Israel, there's a brief chart providing a Beige Prose version of the Ten Commandments. A "hippo-mobile" can be seen among the actual tech during the "technology is about to go crazy!" jingle. In fact, it was a real thing, invented in 1863, and that is an actual drawing of it, albeit with a hippo head added onto it. During the "technology's better too" aside, one of the graphics is a VHS tape with the caption "my terrible vacation". When an email inbox is shown, addresses include "george-bush@whitehouse.gov". When the video gets to 9/11, before the planes crash into the World Trade Center, a cat appears on the plane that crashes into the North Tower a fraction of a second before impact.

Always a Bigger Fish: The Persian Empire is introduced this way, being the last of a rapid-fire food chain of empires starting with the Assyrian Empire being consumed by the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which is in turn succeeded by the Median Empire, which is gobbled up at last by the Persian Empire, which becomes bigger than all of those.

Overly Long Gag: The pause after the above mentioned mind screw lasts ten seconds before continuing with the idea to invent time and space. One of the longest jingles. "New arrivals in India! Maybe it's those horse people I was talking about... Or their cousins or something... And they wrote some hymns, and mantras, and stuff." And the second-longest. "...many different types of machines and factories with machines in them so they can make a lot of products real fast."

The Theme Park Version: Since he wants to take a large global view of history in a short time, Bill offers single thumb-tack summaries of famous events, some of which are Dated History (such as Imperial Germany being made to pay undue and punitive reparations) and others are overly simplified, such as his explanation of The French Revolution as merely out of non-payment of taxes for funding The American Revolution (which most see at best as a minor cause)note The king of France at the time is also mislabeled as "louis the 14th" (he was actually the 16th). and also reducing the Reign of Terror to mere head-chops rather than Emergency Authority fighting a civil war.

We will check in later to see if you're still Christian when you least expect." Finish Him!! It's subtle, but during the scene where the nomads are ransacking China, if sped up, the rhythm of the horse nomad smacking China for coins resembles the rhythm of the intro music of a familiar game's first level. Not to mention that the smacking causes gold coins to appear with a very familiar sound from the same source.
