You think Samson might have gotten the message after the 3rd time the Philistines just so happened to appear but you know what they say... Love is blind.

The book of Judges is akin to the Age of Heroes in Game of Thrones. It was the period that gave us legendary heroes like Gideon and Samson. However, if you read the book as a whole, you realize that the main theme is deterioration. The people continuously disobey God while the heroes themselves are progressively corrupt, eventually culminating in the genocidal Benjamite War. Samson, as the last Judge before said war, is in fact the most morally-corrupt Judge in the book. Most of the better known Judges were actually horrible people. The whole book was written to validate the need for a united kingdom. "In those days there was no king in Israel, everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

Samson; known for his strength, not his wisdom or intelligence.

God: Seriously? You lost your powers over BDSM roleplay? Samson: What can I say, I have a weakness for women with rope.

Delilah: "tell me the secrets of your strength so I may bind you" Samson "woah... kinky"

"Entrepreneurial young woman" is the best euphemism I've heard in a while.

Samson was quite the entertainer. He brought down the house.

Hey there Delilah , why the hell did you cut my hair.

Zoey is a great performer.

I always wondered why he was so willing to get tied up that he gave her two bullshit answers...now I'm an adult and I wish I had never pursued this line of thinking.

Samson doesn't have a plan, Samson never has a plan

Samson is the character you get when you roll an 18 for strength... and a 8 for intelligence and wisdom.

Man, that one Philistine Leader in the middle at 6:41 really took it in stride. Not even flinching as the temple came crashing down.

Got to respect Delilah's work commitment. Take that over Samson's easy super strength any day.

Clearly the Moral of the story is proper building codes

I love how Delilah looks so done with his shit by the time they cut his hair... whoever drew this, I applaud you.

2:34 You guys just couldn't wait to make that reference, could you.......

Samson->Lion->Delilah->Samson The life cycle of Scissors,Paper,Rock

Zoey deserves treats for being so smart.

For classic Jewish Mythology, you can’t beat the tale of the Golem.

What lesson do we learn from this? When someone asks for your actual weakness that is a red flag. Samson should have left Delilah.

I thought the animated version of Zoey's eyes were a bit too green. Turns out they were underplaying it.

Love some bondage in my history

Welsh/Celtic mythology would be a very interesting topic. We literally parade a horse's skull wearing a robe at Christmas.

This is why you NEVER have Wisdom as a dump stat.

And Sampson did ask "Lord, why did you give me all of my strength in my hair?" And the Lord replied "Because you're worth it"

Lol it's not a love anymore, it's *LUST* (typical legendary heroes weakness)

Delilah was HELL BENT on getting that dough

Oh jeez, I finally get what the part about rope and tying Samson up was about

4:42 I like that his things consist of a drawer full lion-skull honey.

There is a key piece of information that was left out about Samson telling Delilah "The secret to your great strength". The bible says "With such nagging she prodded him DAY AFTER DAY until he was sick to Death of it. So he told her everything..." Judges 16:16-17 He wasn't fooled he was brow beaton, and he eventually got to the point where he didn't care about the consequences. also, he opened himself up, he didn't just give her the answer to her question, he told her everything, laid out his heart which is how she knew it was different then what he told her before "

Hey there Delilah, what’s it like in Gaza City I should run a thousand miles from you but damn gurl you so pretty, Yes it’s true-I’ll give my secret up for you, don’t kill me boo

"Chosing a leader based on his KDR with animal bones isn't half bad" I vote we use this as the new election processes...wouldn't that be so much more interesting...

You’re not a Cartoon?! That voice comes from a real mouth?!?!

Ah yes, *clubbing people with a donkey mandible thing* makes you king.

Is it just me or do I enjoy Samson's face when he awakens

wait so delilah was into bdsm or pretending to be anway? BIBLICAL BDSM

God: Hey, BELIEVE IN GOD Extra Credits: Okay (makes these videos) God: They're a little confused, but they got the spirit

Done the survey. Thank you guys for all the work you do, this channel is a blessing.

2:43 I don’t get why him explaining Samson’s kink is so funny to me, Not that he was into it, but just how he was explaining it, I don’t know why it made me laugh as hard as it did

This is really cool. I think that another cultures myths you could do would be India or Arabia, maybe even chinese

Hey there Delilah, this is your ex-boyfriend Samson.

This was hilarious. Seriously. As a member of the tribe i thank you...

What I expected: "She tied you to her kitchen chair/ She broke your throat and she cut your hair/ And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah" What I got: "She was into S&M and bible studies/ Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me"

Holy crabcakes, he's not just a cartoon, he's real!!!

So Samson is basically the biblical version of homelander ? ( actually most gods/ demi-gods are basically like that )

Bro I really hope you make an s- ton more videos bc I love this channel. It's probably one of my absolute favorite ones

Finally came around to watch this series, Matt's voice's really a great fit for this

"You want to know the secret of my great strength? Well, I get lots of protein in my diet - plenty of eggs and chicken breasts, that sort of thing. I work out regularly, that's very important. I take these powdered bull's testicles, which some people say is an illegal performance enhancer, but hey, if it works, right? Anyway, without all those things, I'd be as weak as any other man!" "...that sounds like a lot of work." "I know, right!"

Can you imagine having to hide in a girls room while she is seducing some other guys so just you can wait until he falls asleep post coitum and be his barber

Zoey is infinitely adorable

Love this story just soooo much!

0:15 No need to thank me

If you're up for more Old Testament, might I suggest Elijah & Elisha? Highlights include the challenge to Baal, the chariot of fire, and the she-bears incident.

I did the survey, hope you read my anything else to say. also yay the team is continuing series!

We love extra history!!!

If he was always pulling those shenanigans, then I’d hardly say he “ruled” for 20 years.

Dude I was not expecting that to be the face behind the voice at all

Loved that there was a survey!! 👍🏻🎉

Unironically, that ending plea to god is fucking metal.

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to her kitchen chair And she broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Interesting translation of Delilah's antics as role-play. I don't think that's really how we can define it as they were most likely married at that point, or at least living together (it is Sampson after all). Still it brings some context to the scenario.

The pillars of the Phillistine temple were not likely the stone Greco-Roman pillars we often imagine. They were more likely Cedar pillars, that held up the cross beams that, in turn, held up the ceiling beams, planks, stones, etc. It would still be a pretty good feat of strength to move them off of their bases (which would cause the whole ceiling to cave in, but it isn't the same as as pushing over Greco-Roman stone pillars.

My man was confident in toxic relationship 🤣

One day I’ll see a video focused on Estonian history/mythology and when that happens *puts thing into thing* Then that’ll put a smile on my face

In Hebrew Judge in this particular book in the bible has a different meaning more like lord

Great video :D

So that's what he looks like. That cat is adorable and you are hilarious, bro. Have helped me get through some seriously stressful security shifts

0:16 Free Zoey Button

nice to see the real face of the voice and zoey of course :P

This shows us a different part of the story I didn't know from my childhood. Most of the story was cut off to tell us (I understand some of it but not all of it was needed)

Matthew just has way to much fun in these narrations

BDSM roleplay gets person blessed by god killed via hair cutting

When I saw Zoe in ythe flesh and für I gave 3 big ‘AWWW’s great job Zoe you’re doing great at being a cat

Im a long time subscriber, i love this channel. Im a huge history buff, and i love learing, is their anymore channels similar to these guys? Btw thank you extra cresits

please do more Old Testament Mythology!

Yeah, Samson wasn't even close to a king. Judges were supposed to give moral guidance and leadership, but they usually did a bad job of it, and that was even when the people listened to them. The time of the judges was thoroughly corrupt, as there there was no enforcement for the laws God had given them. Isreal was repeatedly punished with captivity, and repeatedly saved by a God-chosen judge when they begged for help. The book ends with "there was no king in Isreal, and every man did what was right in his own eyes", meaning whatever he felt was right, regardless of whether or not it was. One of the last stories demonstrates this, as a traveling priest has his concubine raped to death by a rapid mob, and he gets really pissed about it, cuz, you know, he was kinda using that concubine. Were they gonna buy him another? Nooo, so, well, a brutal little war amongst the tribes seems to be the appropriate response, yes? See what I mean? This was one of Isreal's darkest periods, morally speaking. And while the majority of their kings were also corrupt, they at least maintained some amount of order.

You look exactly as I thought Matt! And Zoey is adorable!

I literally listen to extra mythology to put me to sleep... so relaxing.

nice to see your take on the second half of the story it was interesting very curious though why you showed him next to just one pillar instead of two but hey it was still a good watch

Mapuche Mythology when

Samson is da BEAST

Epic interpretation bra'.

More animated biblical stories! I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Flex tape would have worked day one.

could we get a video with Zoey?

Loved it! Although he specifically asked for strength to avenge ONE of his eyes, not bothm

What the hell??? I was always told as a kid that Samson got his strength back because during the scene in the temple his hair grew back and he was able to pull it all down that way. No mention of him getting his eyes gouged out or him dying. Messed up. Btw I really loved this series!! One of my favourite Extra Mythologies you've done 👌

-Philistines (?) were sloppy builders. -Samson a poor Judge. - Dalilah instead seems to be the real hero. Making some enterprenurial silver out of the political turmoil.

Early... Central Asian mythology when? :)

It is good you clarified the Dagon thing. Cause I at once thought "wait a minute..:"

Ooooh nice vid

is weird to see that voice coming out of a person, im to acustomed to the cartoon

We need a Samson/Gilgamesh crossover.

After hearing into Me: Extra credits is working for KZfaq’s suggestion algorithm

Was not expecting that into.

Zoey is such a cute kitty in both real and animated form!!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Oh no, now they have my e-mail. I've been bamboozled!

I love how you made Samson sound like Patrick Warburton.

4:41 LOL when Sampson is "Gathering all his things" does he just grab a bunch of honey from a drawer?
