What happened to this guy? He's as good as Peter Rosenthal.

I like the idea of the cameraman and interviewer letting the cameras just keep on rolling as they get deeper and deeper into the professor's troubling rant. Hey, just go with it!

Wow! I can't believe he said such a wise line! I have to use that for something!

Hold on this guy is actually a great actor

Yes, but consider also the first-class acting by Peter Rosenthal and Jim & Tracy. The casting director finds these people. The casting director is amazing.

Poor John II. I never even heard of him. That Rowan University professor is so awkward.

I hope you can look at this comment from 8 years ago and be proud of what you have achieved

0:51 Is nobody going to talk about the fact that, leaving to go to war, is the newborn baby instead of his father who is a soldier?

Nice catch

the most accurate part is the way they don't mention any of the other allies involved in D-day

Ziggy Stardust playing after the professor's rant is perfect.

his venting was so random.. i loved it!!

You can see the mastery of onion's actors. That professor is amazing.

2:02 I swear I thought he was going to do a Heath Ledger impersonation. "My father was a drinker, and a fiend..."

Blah Blah Blah is also a record by Iggy Pop that was co-written and produced by David Bowie. He influenced Glam WW2!

The history professor actually made me laugh so hard I cried a little. That hasn't happened in a long, long time.

This was 9 years ago

John II did many things, including, it seems, the invention of a time machine so that he could know who Napoleon and Washington were.

omg the suffrage movement was awesome.

i feel sad for that historian.

We really do need more Glam-related stuff.

we are slowly seeing the rise of a new supervillian

My grandmother grew up Irish in New York 80 years ago. She actually HAD to hide her books because her drunken Irish dad would scream at her and call her an "Anglophile".

thank you professor. that piece of information was definitely not blatant enough for someone not to point out.

i just love the insane lecturer

Glam-citecture.. LOL

maybe the next video could feature prof. Hendry's rival as a 'replacement' and have something with hendry in the onion newsweek

3:45 you sure did buddy! You sure did...

Prof Hendry is awesome; clearly a sign of a proper upbringing.

I used to think the timeline stuff was real. Till this week, it said Darwin ate the last dodo, I dont eat my dogs! Why would Darwin eat his own pet?!

And that whole rant in one shot, props to you Sir.

Wonderfully harsh. More please Onion.

Who let Barry time travel again

lolz.. now i got ziggy stardust intro stuck in my head for the next day or so thx onion!

The irony of an advert for "the battle for normandy" book on the side heh

...And that's when things would get ugly... We need to know more.

I love the Prof. Hendry.

I want "I did stuff too" inscribed on my tombstone.

It was a lot closer to 30 years.

This must be The Onion because only a fake news station would claim that Bowie invented Glam Rock when we all know it was Alice Cooper who was 5 years ahead of him!

It was nice of John II of France to refer to himself in the past tense so all of us reading his quote today makes more sense.

"Why so serious, Professor Kaufman?"

wow glad you caught that. considering all the rest of facts are spot on....

This just makes me think of the character in the Xenosaga games.

I cannot believe I don't remember that song name at the glam part. Anybody know it?

The suffrage thing was hilarious

I didn't think a youtube video's title could be so long...

And that's when things would get ugly.

Only the onion could open an awesome video with a TB-303 reference :D

Me, too. Got PTSD with flashbacks and everything. Unfortunately it looks like Infinity Ward have abandoned us veterans for good.

I need one of those ancient Sumerian Rolands.......

John the 2nd reigned for 14 years, which ended after his defeat and capture. He died in English custody, rumors abound of his being poisoned so France didn't have to pay a ransom.

That has to be a joke right? Alice Cooper invented glam rock, right he just didn't tell anyone but you right.

The Onion: Not getting it since 2004....

1:05 I've been saying this for years, glad to finally have it validated.

"I did stuff too." hahahaha

Always the right amount of humor.

I would so love to attend Professor Hendry's lectures.

i love the historical quotes at the end

"But what about me? John || of france, i did stuff too" lmao

The hell? That's a quote from Alexander the Great against Xerxes.

Let's not forget the Glam oil crisis of 1973. That was far out.

But, John II of france came well before either Washington or Napoleon

The derailment at 2:00 is the onramp to brilliance.

I thought he was gonna do the Joker backstory monolog

And they are using that right openly.

You mean the luxury accommodations we provided for their safety

''ima good little boy'' ahahahahahaha

3:00 got issues

So I guess this is the first video by the Onion you've seen.

This is the funniest part of the video.

"Don't believe everything you read in the paper, let alone the internet."

depending on what you consider the start of the internet, it came 100-120 years after lincoln's assassination. He's right.

I just pissed my pants.

Great. Now I want "I did stuff too." on my grave stone. thanks, Onion.

well I'll be, according to wikipedia, John II of france did do stuff

this is the parallel universe i want to be in.

You sir...are a genius....also you owe me a computer monitor as i just spat coffe all over mine.

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust "and the Spiders from Mars", right?

Excellent.

It's ok Proff. Hendry... you're a good little boy

What I wouldn't give to live in a fantasy world where the onions history was real, for at least a day. I'd get a hoot outta pretty much every detail haha

Im a GOOD LITTLE BOY... Im a good little boy...

God damn The Onion is just so fucking epic.

John II of France: "Son of Joan the Lame, was best known for his defeat at the Battle of Poitiers and taken as a captive to England."

So now The Onion thinks it's funny that people die in wars? WOW!! Im flagging this crap NOW!!!

I thought it couldn't get more offensive than the Hitler joke last week...I was wrong. Trivialising a whole world war. Nice job Onion :D I love this series.

I have to say...your grammar is really good.

Wow, the TB303 got some lovin'!

It's kind of funny that they picked this particular year to mention how people always commemorate June 6th, because honestly this year it felt like nobody actually did.

I feel bad for the professor dude

Glamcitecture is awesome. We still have that in Sweden. Our new national arena looks like a big platform shoe.

There were still informational pages on those private networks, many of which had quotes. Which would be hard to confirm as they're on the internet AND they're quotes, he might have formulated himself badly but his main thought is right. And, I have an i7 3930k cooled with a Corsair H100, three 670's in sli and a good 16GB of quad channel memory.

People DIE in wars? Holy shit.

Abraham Lincoln died in 1865, Networks like Telnet started in the early 70's. So yes, it was "like 100 years later or soemthing"

its kinda accurate, if you count the military network thingie. Only off by like 10 years or so

I did stuff too :(

Jesus Christ, someone get that professor a therapist

"I did stuff too"

I love that professor.

People who are unsubscribing: You'll be back. They always come back.

Wow. That got depressing fast.

3:33 Soooo, that french king John II was actually english?, if it's in "his own" words, which weren't in french, but in english, then it's not his own words.
