I actually didn't ban the word "pepper" from the comments. I just wanted to boost engagement by all of you trying it. You've 've been bamboozled

[This comment has been deemed illegal and has been removed]

*People get arrested in Canada for saying one single insult* Aah yes, it's all coming together now

3:16 "You're under arrest for public obscenity" "But officer I only did it because I stepped on a lego" "Understandable, have a great day"

Im just here for the peppers

The moment he mentioned the word pepper being banned in the comments, I knew what 95% of the comments were going to look like.

Another illegal word is "Mayday" in certain contexts. By saying Mayday on VHF Radio or other aeronautical or maritime frequency allocation without the station being in a state of distress, the station will be subject to permanent revocation or radio license and radio operator privileges, will be held liable for a criminal fine of up to $250000, up to 6 years in prison, or both and remuneration for expenses incurred during the rescue operation. These can exceed a million dollars in extensive operations. That means you would need to pay up to 2 million and then maybe also serve 6 years in prison, all for a word spoken on the radio.

playing warzone and there's an enemy with the name 'the US president' FBI: OPEN UP!

"you can't shout fire in a crowded building" you can if there was an actual fire.

Pepper Edit#1: we've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled

HAI: "If you don't think saying this phrase is illegal give it a shot." Every FBI agent secretly listening through our phones: "hehe I'm in danger."

1:38-2:09 reminds me of that one WKUK sketch

“I’ve banned the word pepper from my comments” me: *pepper*

Just end it with "in Minecraft" and you'll always be good.

0:52 personally I support the outlawing of that phrase and that phrase in particular

In Germany, there are certain words that were popular during the Third Reich that can get you arrested. They had to edit Hogan's Heroes to use ,,Heil Schnitzler" when it aired over there.

"You can be arrested in Canada for cursing in public" THAT EXPLAINS SO MANY THINGS

2:17 "just give it a shot" Very poor choice of words

Me: says pepper Half as intresting:you WHAT

Half as interesting: "i banned the Word pepper from my comments" Commments: *no*

Commonly used household spice, typically for edible things such as food. Often paired with salt.

There is a lot of illegal phrases in germany, almost all of them related to.... well, you know. Using these in public will amost always get you sued.

“I’m going to steal the Declaration of Independence” -Nick Cage

Him: bans the word pepper. Me: well ain't you salty, sugar. Imma spice up the comments section!

Engagement four years later, good work. Pepper!

Imagine working at that Olive Garden and seeing this video

3:22 This stock footage gave me anxiety. Who makes a railing that low and comfortable to lean on, but at the top of a building??

pepper

fun fact in 2009 the band leathermouth released a song titled i am going to kill the president of the united states, the frontman of the band was visited by the us secret service and was threatened with jail time if he or his band ever performed the song like that again

Damn, Rick rolled by the word pepper.

Hey now, I am going eat the pepper of the United States.

Pepper

One time I had to do an example of this in a project so I wrote a half paragraph thing saying I don’t mean it

Btw, the FCC fine has definitely affected things, an example of this being when Dale Earnhardt Jr won the 2004 EA Sports 500 at Talladega Superspeedway and was asked by the interviewer from NBC what it was like to win at Talladega for the fifth time and he said "it don't mean sh*t daddy won here ten times" and it cost him the 2004 cup series championship because NASCAR deducted points

Pepper.

I shouted "fire" in a crowded theater once. Then someone put out the fire and that was the end of that.

The "Fire in a crowded theater" thing is often cited as an example because of its use in a Supreme Court case, Schenck vs. U.S. What they don't realize is that the case upheld a conviction of someone for distributing leaflets criticizing the draft in WWI and it has since been overturned. There's no legal precedent to hold that that one word even in that situation is necessarily illegal, HOWEVER, the article you cited does provide one of the rare instances where it can be. Basically, you can shout fire in a crowded theater as much as you want as long as you don't ACTUALLY cause a stampede.

"Millions dead in crowded building as there was a fire."

Every time I see the code "HAI" for Half As Interesting promos, I think it's someone saying "HAI!" in a goofy voice.

Lemme get this outta way,peppers

It's not illegal to swear in Canada. It wasn't illegal even in 2016. In fact, in 2015, Justin Kukemueller was convicted of causing a disturbance for screaming a litany of vulgarities at police in public who were arresting his girlfriend and father. But his conviction was overturned on appeal, because swearing at police in anger is not a crime. There are places where swearing is prohibited, like, say, public libraries, or parks in Toronto, but like you said, that's not the same as words being illegal.

What if someone actually went to 1555 Sand Lake Road and there actually was an armed robber there

I thought the thumbnail said "I'm going to *be* the president of the United States"

Been to that Olive Garden on Sand Lake Rd Orlando FL.. cool 🇨🇦

PEPPER 🌶! 😂 Great Video Sam!

Yeah, I said, "At, dollar sign, ampersand, percent, exclamation point" a little too loud on a trip to NZ. I was sentenced to making inane comments on KZfaq for life.

I feel like Half As Interesting is like the comedy version of Wendover Productions.

Weird. I just watched another video this morning about that guy yelling "fire" in Michigan and the stampede that ensued 😂

If you heard about the Utah dude, you know why I’m here

Imagine going to jail for thinking out loud

HAI: it's illegal to say I'm going to kill the president of the United States Me: *laughs in Canadian*

dam good engagement trick.

Ah, peppers are common in many dishes.Many people expect a pepper to be spicy, but there are many different kinds of peppers, such as a sweet pepper, which is a not spicy pepper, and as such, the pepper pepper pepper rules the world and pepper pepper pepper pepper *help*

The comment section is peppered in peppers 😱

HAI: imagine a word that can fine you up to 100s of thousands of dollars me: taxes

the post-roll ad was for audible WTF

Around New Years a wonderful radio show Coast to Coast with Art Bell had callers make predictions for the next year. The only prediction which was not permitted was about the death of the president because when such predictions were made the Secret Service would investigate, interview Bell, and ask for show records, a hassle Bell preferred to avoid.

Im going to deathpacito the president of the us

We had a case here in Australia where a man ended up in court for calling a cop a c#$t. The courts heard the evidence and determined that citizens have the right to call someone what ever they want , offence taken or not.

Intent is the key to convicting someone for something they said. Law enforcement must prove malicious intent behind the words, which is damn hard to do without physical evidence(E.G. a written plan).

1:02 no I won’t go to Olive Garden, much less that specific one. It’s especially not good.

“I’m going to _____ the president” Uh oh

*PEPPER*

Just tried the first 4 words on bilibili, didn't get banned(I don't use other Chinese social media so I don't know about them)

I'm not gonna comment pepper to boost his engagement.

Me: Bomb(whisper) Airport: Death Penalty

"I am not a broadcaster i am a youtuber" *_KZfaq: _**_-Broadcast-_**_ Yourself_*

The fire in a crowded building thing was more of about the WW1 leaflets if I remember correctly

4:20 he really used the exact same strategy of telling others to do something

What if you go to jail for saying something and then you say it in jail?

Banned Pepper? Iron man wants to know your location

pepper edit - wait thats illegal

I was just thinking of 7 Words you Can't Say on TV. It all about how the word is used, not the word it's self.

“Good reason for swearing” *shows a foot stepping on a LEGO*

pepper Edit: My disappointment is immeasurable

lmao is that a pepper

2:28 the supreme court struck this down a long time ago

My eighth grade US history teacher explained it as such, “your rights end where other people’s rights begin.” Simple enough, but is pretty good for explaining it.

i have been boozled, but im salty so pepper

For a frame in 3:37 there is a QR code. Up date it leads to this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8uXZ61p3rTPZJs.html

"I'm going to the President" It's illegal to go to the President? Huh.

1:08 this scared the ever loving shit of me because I used to live around here as a kid and I went to that very Olive Garden. Thank you for terrifying me.

Damn, that ad read sure was a throwback to when people respected Neil Degrasse Tyson

Watching this 3 years later, and Sam sounds like he is reading a script while Half As Interested and sleepy.

*Pepper* Destruction 100

What about saying “Hi Jack!” When you see your friend on the same flight as you. And his name is really jack. Is it illegal?

Actually, you can shout fire in a crowded theater... But only if it's true.

2:58 "Wait a second"

“I’ve banned the word pepper from my comments” Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper Pepper

That olive garden is fire

Trevor Moore wants his joke back lol

"i'm going to steal the declaration of independence"

The following phrase is illegal to say: Illegal to say.

Idk about prequel but replace it with sequel and you've committed an act worthy of the death penalty

I can’t believe 20,000 people have went down into the comments and said “pepper”

PEPPER

Peter piper picked a peck of pickled .

It’s official. In New Zealand, it’s a federal crime to say “fuck” on my Christian Minecraft server
