This Week In History: Statue Of Liberty Arrives From France, Moves Into Cramped Tenement Building
Комедия
The Onion looks at the discovery of a group of North Dakotan coal miners that would become the cast of 'Happy Days,' the Supreme Court ruling that allowed black students to experience racism first hand in desegregated schools, and the historic hot air balloon ride that allowed one 13-year-old to become the first American to urinate on a crowd from 100 feet in the air.

He's probably covering his face to hide his laughter... I don't know how anyone can keep a straight face with that.

Yeah, is he ok?
The ongoing gag with the prof' was comedy gold. Doesn't work if you weren't aware of the previous bits, but with them in the chronological series the breakdown is perfect.
Best crying scene ever.
The professor is really growing on me. I kept waiting for him to go off on another tirade, but he just kept crying. That was TRULY genius. I was laughing so hard that I was crying, haha! I love that guy. :)
This is the funniest take on desegregation I’ve ever heard😂😂
That image of Lady Liberty and her family is just too brilliant.
I cracked up when I saw the Statue of liberties family!
When I watched the last "This Week In History" I thought "Well the next one has to have the historian either looking emotionless and silently into the camera or weeping continuously, since they've upped the ante so much, this is the only possible culmination" Wish I wrote that in the chat then and became mini-Nostradamus.

So... 2020?
I could watch that guy cry for hours.
1:24 Lady Liberty shedding a single tear
If you actually blend The Onion with legitimate news these days it'll get harder and harder to discern which is which
Lol the perfect stature!!
“First American” implies other people have done it before
I love how the Professor gets more and more bizarre each week.
Can watch that professor cry for hours, it really warms my heart :)
The statute of liberty would’ve been given a visa but since the statues only job is to sit and hold a torch, she was considered too low skilled and was sent back to France
I live in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. One of our three city radio stations is 97.5, The River, and as far as I know is only broadcast as far as our two neighbouring cities. Needless to say, I tripped balls when I just heard it mentioned on The Onion
Wise, wise words from Mr. Gandhi.
I got the results of the final exams of my degree today. Oh god, that historian... I'm going to be him...
oh my gosh i was crying laughing so hard when he was crying...this is so funny how do they know how to be so funny
This feels like what a history documentary would look like if it was made by an alien civilization hundreds of years in the future... (and they took some creative liberty)
at the beginning i was like yay something happy and then they said they could endure ratial slurs from places other than the streets....
Seriously those are the best moments in these vids
At first i didnt get the crying bit, but then, i lolled.
Fast forwarding through Prof. Hendry like a baws!
I spat out my food when he started crying.
Uh oh, your elementary school teachers taught you wrong too. Just look it up and have your mind blown.
2:45 Bart Simpson, the pioneer days
1:45 Loving the bleakness! Thanks The Onion 😀
LOL brilliant as usual
These are by far my favorite Onion clips. The professor story is hilarious.
Because we need to see it.
1:51 he's not crying he's loughing about the jokes of the onion
At least Prof. Hendry didn't complain this time.
Love the Onion :')
i wish i could see one of these every day. I never get sick of them.
The lady liberty story was hilarious!
Poor Mr. Hendry... it'll be okay...
Great writing and superb acting!
I liked the painting of hot air balloon piss
Miss this show
That's okay Timothy. Let it out.
Why do I have the feeling that Alex, from the Monument Mythos, was inspired to create the LIBERTYLURKER video by the Lady liberty gag from this video?
Give that man an Oscar!
LOL @ the Liberty family.
That cramped, rat infested tenament in the lower east side is now priced at $65m. That's a joke but not the ha-ha kind.
Typo at 2:44 First has a Capital I.
I love how they use stock images in 1950s video clips 😂
0:55 really can’t tell if the kid is looking away or at the one bullying him.
Poor Mr. Hendry.
I don't like crying professor. He better redeem himself next week or it's back to the salt mines
lol First American to urinate on a crowd from 100 feet in the air
1:45 LMFAO!
How come there's no more Today Now segments?
just like how french fries and french toast were originally created in fancy french restaurants...
This week in Hendry.
OSCAR FOR PROFFESSOR!
My favorite onion show
I just can't understand why I didn't find this history stuff so interesting in high school.
Suddenly, Doggo
ngl timothy h. hendry is my favourite historian
Poor guy....
Sounds like a solid idea. Don't forget to mention that you're watching this in 2012 and to like the post accordingly.
The professor commenting has become the best part of The Onion.
I have to wonder what Ghandi's statement would have been life it it hadn't been "historically speaking."
agree
Awesome
that poor poor professor
2:18 Me brushing my teeth
that poor man, WHY DO THEY NOT EDIT OUT HIS PAIN!?!?
"(...)becoming the first american to urinate on a crowd from 100 feet in the air" but not the last!
agreed
I fucking love The Onion.
man, THAT PROFESSOR is really ANN CURRY-ing it.
Dear Onion viewers: if you are in New York City any time soon, I'd heartily recommend checking out the Tenement Museum. Gives a great view of what it was like to be a working class American in the days before the welfare state (hint: it's not pretty).
that poor statue of liberty. . .
Go ahead, he needs it.
Chomsky: Thomas Jefferson, the leading Enlightenment figure in the United States, along with Benjamin Franklin, who took exactly the same view, argued that dependence will lead to "subservience and venality", and will "suffocate[s] the germs of virtue". And remember, by dependence he meant wage labor, which was considered an abomination under classical liberal principles.
not everyone does that, you know?
Poor Liberty.
MORE behind the pen. I sent him a letter
Get your shit together Prof. Hendry...
wow i jus drank a mackeson triple stout...somehow i felt why this guy was crying.
lol
Impossible then he wouldn't be jealous of Eric Koffmans kids.
i choked up a bit at 2:00
i was mistaken. this was actually funny.
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
I think that professor won't last much longer, he is probably suicidal by now.

Why do you think they stopped making these?
Sure you were, because trolls admit when they were trolling.
Mr. Hendry is a perfect Allegory for the desperate state of U.S. assoicate Professors in the humanities. No wonder he is crying.

Hahaha!
The professor is the most good!
