note from the guy: thanks for watching, this was a school project, hope i can do more stuff like this in a more stylistic way

Bill wurtz would be proud.

Bill wurtz:”You can make religion out of this” Kris:”You can make a political party out of this”

I believe this may have recapped a big portion of the basics needed for the APUSH Exam. Unironically helpful!

WHERE MY APUSH PEOPLE AT

I absolutely LOVE this Video! Great Impression and Homage on Bill Wurtz' Works! Please keep it up!

Excellent! Finally someone decided to make more historical videos in this style. If Bill Wurtz won't do it himself, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be done. This is an untapped gold mine!

Fun fact: Bill Wurtz was originally going to do a video on the history of the USA, but so many other people had already done it so he settled for the history of Japan. I think this is what happened, I could be wrong.

I am a history teacher, and this was incredibly impressive. Great job on this!

I would be pretty satisfied if this became a micro-genre. Would love to see more like this!

I love how you had the Bill Wurtz style in it but still had your own handwriting over it! Its such a refreshing mix up!

All the study material I need for my apush test

Almost perfect, like a 9.9 out of 10, all it needed was some more jazzy jingles for words or concepts like Bill Wurtz's stuff, otherwise a 10 out of 10 for me

Finally. Someone decided to finally make a video mimicking his EXACT style. I know it's tough to recreate it, but I see a lot of creators making these types of videos, but trying absolutely no effort into actually trying to mimic his style. You just earned a like from me.

this unironically is so useful for apush review

i love how this was inspired by bill wurtz, and not trying to be a direct copy. i’ve seen plenty of bill wurtz parodies that don’t work, but this one does. great job dude

This is a gem!

Fun fact: the original concept of the famous “history of the entire world I guess” and “history of Japan” videos was going to be “history of the United States of America”, but he (Bill Wurtz) quit the project and it transformed into two of the most iconic KZfaq videos ever made.

Anyone else cramming for their AP US history exam? Thanks for the video dude!

The main two ways I've studied this school year are by watching this and Heimler's videos. I watch this one at the end of every unit. I have the APUSH exam tomorrow so this is my final little recap, thanks for making and sharing this video :) Edit: I was one of like 4 people in my class to pass so thanks to this guy

I like how he used accurate flags for the time showing that he put alot of time into this video.

Well. Time to study for the APUSH Test! 😆 Edit) Whew, we survived! Good job, everyone!

Saving my life for the apush exam tomorrow for real

FUN FACT: Paul Revere never shouted "THE BRITISH ARE COMING, THE BRITISH ARE COMING" because at that time, everyone was British so it would be confusing. Instead he went up to peoples doors and whispered to them "The regulars are coming" and Paul Revere never actually finished his trip, another rider did. Him and William Dawes were captured by the regulars and questioned before being released.

I'm glad you started explaining the native population from the broad introduction rather than starting off with the usual pilgrim + new england relations with the natives. Also the chronological pacing was really well done and really puts into perspective the grand timeline the US has gone through, rather than stretching it out for an academic year and poorly connecting each event with the next. Bill Wurtz's was greatly enjoyable but his was made intentionally vague as it was meant to just be a brief overview, whereas yours was very detailed and nuanced. Bill Wurtz's gives breath into widening people's foreign understanding of the world to stray away from western-centric history, establish a foundational understanding of the world, all while being digestibly entertaining. Whereas yours dives into depths genuinely twice as deep than any textbook can dive into, as they ignore otherwise crucial subtleties that you included. Your video gives a strong wave of information in such a slapstick compilation of US events and it's greatly appreciated. Your video may have been inspired by Bill Wurtz, with the lightheartededly quick snapshots and explanations w/ jokes, it's obvious the video was made by another masterful comedian and historian with hopes to educate his viewers. Although Wurtz's video may have been an LSD wet dream, I genuinely prefer your video over his. Well done mate 👍

APUSH TEST TMRW MORNING!!!!!!

This video is gonna single handedly carry my apush test score

6:11 *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE*

as a massive u.s. history nerd from australia and also a big bill wurtz fan, thank you for this masterpiece

Cramming for my apush test and stumble upon this masterpiece. This actually helped me remember stuff

Bill Wurtz: You can make a religion out of this! Kris: You can make a political party out of this! Oversimplified: *This enraged his father, who punished him severely*

I can't imagine how long and difficult such a massive project most've been. And you did this while taking APUSH?? I admire your time management!

as someone who just took APUSH, this felt like speedrunning the entire course. well done, good man edit on july 5th: I GOT A 3 GUYS I WAS SO SCARED I WOULDN'T PASS AND I STRUGGLED A LOT IN THE CLASS ITSELF BUT OMG I'M LITERALLY SO RELIEVED edit for the non-Americans: a 3 in the US is passing. anything 3 or more on an AP exam is passing. AP exams are graded on a score from 1-5

Currently studying for the APUSH test and this was helpful lol

The mayans have figured out the staaaaarsssss

Not too shabby for an APUSH final project No but really you have a talent for this sort of thing great work mate Bill Wurtz would be brimming with pride!

I'm so glad that someone decided to make a video in the same style as Bill Wurtz did with the history of Japan. Could you please do it for more countries such as Korea, China, Russia?

I’m glad I’m not the only here trying to last minute study for the apush exam 😭

This is coming in so clutch for APUSH in 4 days 😅

9:50 “twice” 💀

This nice video has DIFFERENT content while giving homage. Full respect. Another point, there's no such thing as intellectual property rights regarding style. please use what inspires you and make the best out of it. This is how human beings learn and improve. Keep in mind if you think it's good, there are others that think like you so don't get demotivated by the doubters. I guarantee there are people that appreciate what you're creating. Keep up the inspiration and the great work!

good luck on apush today gang

literally using this to cram for a test, ty sm

Fun fact: bill wirtz was originally going to make a history of America but went with Japan instead This video is so great, bill would be proud

9:09 dam makes D-day war more sad

I see I'm not the only one watching this now

This video popped into my recommended only a few hours after my AP U.S. History exam and I wrote about 80% of what he mentioned in all my responses combined. A+ video, I hope I got a 5.

This is perfect to display at History class.

I came in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of both your impression and historical knowledge. Sublime!

yes discovered this after taking my apush exam

The music dotted throughout this, though in very brief segments, is glorious. Excellent video overall, too!

6:17 The song is called Jubilee by T-Square and is truly a banger.

7:50 my favourite part

I will forever appreciates this channei. I think it would be great if there were only 10 million people in the world , or less . I'd love to live in a place with abundant natural resources , no war , and a meditative lifestyle . And some nice cannabis sativa stands .

"No. Cuz ur bla-"

impressive! gave me nostalgia to Bill Wurtz videos about the Hirstory of the entire world and Japan. You did well with this one and deserve every like

this video is amazing, hats off for all your hard work that went into this! As someone from the Philippines I was waiting for when you'd mention that part the US occupied us from what happened with Spain and the way you incorporated it was absolutely stellar, I can't imagine how much hard work went into making all this (those animated segments you drew were perfect!)

Some guy: Man, I don’t wanna go to school today! This guy, probably: *Bro just use the bomb!*

I really appreciate all the work put into this video. This format actually helps me a lot.

2:36 *TOAD*

3:58 REAALLLY should've listened to Washington

I have an APUSH tri 2 exam tomorrow. This is actually so helpful for studying. Thank you so much!

There is a definite musicality to the original, meaning, the beats that the bits have and that is preserved here. Really enjoyed it 😊

This is a great homage to Bill Wurtz’s legacy. The samples and humor are just spot on.

Thank you for releasing this after my APUSH exam 😭

the illustrations are what elevates this beyond any mere copy of this format, i think (among several other great parts)

Me preparing for my APUSH exam with this

I don’t know how I got recommended this video, but I am glad I did. Never have I seen such high effort put into a video with so little views. Remember me when this blows up.

4:27 they're stealing WHAT

I'm taking every moment of this video seriously, as I am genuinely using it to study for my AP US history test

5:06 HE IS AT IT AGAIN!

9:57 Rebranding in a nutshell

4:25 Plantation owners: “Hell yeah! Now we got business!”

Hopes this helps me pass state testing

Thank you so much this is helping me with my GED test for social studies. Everything was simple and helped me quickly remember it, I now can recite a lot of this in order. Thank you so so much you don't understand how much this means to me. I just needed a simple explanation of the history of the US and this is everything I needed.

dude im not even american but this was hella entertainment, it might be so hard to make but one day could you do "the history of brazil"? anyway great video

dude, first video of yours and I'm already craving more. It basically nailed bill wurtz humour and even had some edginess to it which I appreciate. One thing from a youtube perspective, your videos are constantly fast-paced and you could definitely get away with slower segments. It makes the videos more engaging and funny, Keep it up!

6:31 Lincoln: NANI?!?!

Gonna pull me through my APUSH exam tomorrow

8:27 I like that because of the black background it just looks like Woodrow Wilson is yelling at Poland instead of Germany because that's exactly the kind of dumb thing Wilson would do

9:22 *Japan wants more land but Japan is scared of the US, so Japan spits on them* US: *WhElP tImE tO dIe JaPaN!*

Dude this was incredible, and amazingly well edited! Well done!

4:28 The subtitles 💀

Man I wasn't having high hopes after seeing other creators try and replicate bill's style, but this video definitely exceeded my expections by miles.

Recently stumbled across this video and I have to say that its production value and animation shocked me. Keep up the the excellent work!

the fact that i'm watching this at midnight two days before the apush exam and i'm doing this instead of studying is why apush is going to be my first b in high school (i have an 88 😭)

POV: hour before exam and ur watching this

11:02 why is everything sexy?

"Then we buy the universe, or maybe go extinct idk." This is painfully accurate.

this video was awesome! Great job, I can tell the inspiration from Bill, but I honestly feel you put your own twist and energy into it. Keep going man, your doing awesome!

6:36 best description of the anaconda plan ever

APUSHERS RISE

Someone in my US History 1 class recommended this and we watched it on the last day of school. A lot of people didn't see the bill wurtz video but they enjoyed this one a lot

*5 years and still no new history videos from bill wurtz* “Wait! said krispykarim. (Probably smoking crack) Since we have an obviously entertaining way of making history videos and bill wurtz doesn’t have any intention of making more, how about we just make them ourselves?” Established history KZfaqrs: “nah man we got this.”

Not only is the video great, you did an awesome job capturing the unique style! I really appreciate all the clear work that went into making this so similar to bill wurtz's videos. I also loved the little cartoons you did!

my passing apush score is to you 🙏🙏

this is my apush review

This is really well made. I’m actually taking APUSH in September and this is really helpful, thanks

I like how you gave your own charm by putting in drawings while staying true to Bill Wurtz’s style. Makes a good replacement to the jingles.
