"Pistol Pete" Maravich also famously said in an interview in 1974: “I don't want to play 10 years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at age 40.” He then proceeded to play 10 years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at age 40.

Can't believe you didn't mention Henrik Ibsen's last words. He was laying sick in bed and a visitor came in and asked the nurse about his health, she assured them that he was feeling better, to which he responded "On the contrary!" and promptly died

It’s worth noting French was said to be maniacally laughing at his own joke as he was electrocuted. So, real supervillain energy there

Another one from Ancient Rome is Emperor Vespasian, whose last words were "Dear me, I think I'm becoming a god", right before shitting himself to death

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance" -Last words of Gen. John Sedgwick before being shot in the face, 1864

"A woman who can fart is not dead." Well, someone didn't know about relaxing sphincters...

My grandfather's last words were: "One day you are gonna kill me with your bullshit, Elizabeth!" towards my grandmother's nagging while we were having New Year's dinner together. He then went to the toilet where he suffered a fatal stroke. Bit sad, but also quite funny in retrospect.

the fact that roahl dahl’s last words were “OW FUCK” killed me

I think one of my favorites was Voltaire, French philosopher historian and author. When on his deathbed a priest urged him to renounce Satan, Voltaire looked up at him and went "Now now, this is not the time to be making enemies"

My impression of the early 20th century is that it was 60% horrible wars and 40% food based puns. Overall not a bad mix to have

Mel Blanc’s last words were, “I love you, Noel!” said in the voice of Yosemite Sam (Noel is his son who was at his bedside.) Mel Blanc voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Tweety, Sylvester, Pepé Le Pew, Tasmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, Marvin the Martian, and many more characters.

Lytton Strachey's last words were very succinct and to the point: "If this is dying, then I don't think much of it" I mean, who does?

The best one from the Salem Witch Trials is Giles Corey, who was being “pressed” as a form of torture to force him to plea one way or the other. He refused to enter a plea because if he was tried and declared guilty his lands would be forfeit and his children would get no inheritance. He was slowly crushed under heavy boulders for nearly three whole days, during which he was asked three times what his plea was. All he replied was “More weight.”

In the wise last words of Ulysses Grant, *"W A T E R"*

Some of my favourite last words are those of Thomas de Mahy, who was executed during the French Revolution. When he was shown his death warrant, he said: "I see that you have made three spelling mistakes."

I still unironically think the Spaghettios incident is super fucked up- like, regardless of how you feel on the death penalty, the least you could do before you kill a man is get his goddamn order right

I remember seeing an infographic that showed many president’s last words. There was Reagan, Teddy, all of them. Some of them were sweet, like “could you get me a glass of water, dear?”. Some were sad, like “I’m feeling unwell”. And THEN THEY HIT ME WITH Richard Nixon: “Help.” I’ve never been the same since.

Having your last words being “OWWWW FUCK” is iconic

"look, I'll show you, its not loaded" are last words that speak for themselves

"I didnt get spaghetti o's i got spaghetti, i want the press to know this" is one of the pettiest thing ive read

"They couldn't hit an elephant from this dist-" - Union General John Sedgwick, right before his face promptly caught a slug from an enemy sniper

My great grandmother died last April. According to her home nurse, her last words were “Well, I’m going to go now.” I don’t know of that was true but if it was that kind of haunts me.

James French had a pretty interesting story regarding how he actually GOT in death row. He killed someone and begged to be killed, but the judge refused. So to get on death row, he strangled his cellmate to death. He was then put on death row.

Japanese inmates are never told their execution date. One guy was promptly taken to death row and they are allowed to say one last thing, usually something like 'long live the emperor' or something like that. This one convict's last words were 'i thought we were going to take a bath'

No matter how dark my days become I always look on to my grandfather's last words "is that a moose?".

I'm proud to say that Huggbees has been kind enough to interview me on his next video. It's not true, but I'm proud to say it.

"And yet Jefferson lives." Might be my favorite petty last words. Similar to the tag incident, really. Founding Fathers John Adams and Thomas Jefferson had a great animosity during their terms in office over each other's policies and mindset. The rift eventually healed and they became friends again, but Adams, on his deathbed, said "And yet Jefferson lives." Unknown to Adams, though, Jefferson had died 5 hours earlier.

You forgot Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, who is claimed to have said "don't let me die like this, tell the people I said something". I think if true those must be the best last words ever. As a historic figure he felt the pressure of having to say something clever, badass or inspiring as his last words but when the moment came he was too busy fucking dying and couldn't come up with anything, so in desperation he asked his men with his last breath to make something up.

I remember there was one in the 1800's or something where some politician was dying and his last words were along the lines of, "At least Thomas Jefferson is still alive." He didn't know that Thomas Jefferson had already died hours earlier

Just to clarify, Roald Dahl wrote the stories the movies are based upon for anyone who might not know or might be confused. Additional knowledge is that he was very bitter towards the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie (he didn't live long enough to see the remake), so his last words make sense to me personally, having read some of his novels and knowing how bitter he could be.

Last words of my uncle before he kicked the bucket: "hey how far do you think I can kick this bucket?" The answer? Far enough to hit a bear.

The resistance fighter Hannie Schaft screamed at her executioners in the firing line "Ik schiet beter" which translates to "I shoot better" done after the first shot of the line missed. She then got shot.

I can't believe you didn't use Oscar Wilde's last words. "Either these curtains go or I do!"

I like to believe the reflection of the screen on his sunglasses are actually his eyes and this gives me endless joy

My buddy's grandma died a couple weeks ago. Her last words were "whiskey sour", she had never drank once in her life. They spent like 2 hours trying to get a fucking whiskey sour for her, not knowing she died like 20 minutes after she said it.

here's a good one: Charles Gateau (assassinated a president) wrote a whole poem from the POV of a child and giddily read it to the crowd that'd gathered to watch his hanging, including doing a silly high-pitched voice for the child character.

"Can you imagine if you were a plumber and your last word was 'plumber?'" Since most Pokemon only ever say their own species name, that's gonna be all of their last words. Mudkip's last word was "mudkip!"

Love these comments, there's definitely a lot of good ones I missed. Probably gonna do a followup video on both this and last meals in the future.

Oscar Wilde’s last words where “My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us must go.” He was staying at L'Hotel in Paris (due to tragic circumstances of the past) and the exact same wallpaper is still there.

He tagged his brother and said “last tag” as his final words. I can only imagine what his brothers last words to his sibling were.

I'm surprised he touched on the Salem Witch trials without mentioning Giles Corey. During the trials he was sandwiched under a board and they piled rocks onto it. His only words "More Weight"

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist-" is still my personal favorite.

Saint Lawrence was executed in 258 by being roasted over a fire. His last words were "turn me over, I'm done on this side." He is now the patron saint of cooks. And my favourite ever person.

For pure badass last words... I nominate Michel Ney. Michel Ney was a French general and marshal in the time of Napoleon. Through 28 years of service, and near-constant war, he was one of France's most respected generals to his soldiers as well as the Emperor. After Napoleon's final defeat in 1815, Ney lost the political fight to survive in France's new government, and was tried as a traitor. His lawyer tried to get him off on the grounds that Ney was a native of the country of Prussia, which at the time of his birth, and the time of his trial, had not been controlled by France (all true), and that he therefore was not a French citizen and could not be tried for treason by France. Ney had none of this; he interrupted his lawyer to tell the court, "I am French, and I shall remain French!" He knowingly sabotaged his own defense. On conviction, he accepted the firing squad on two conditions: That he NOT be given the traditional blindfold, and that he be allowed to GIVE THE ORDER TO FIRE. When the time came, he faced the line of soldiers and said, "Soldiers, when I give the command to fire, fire straight at my heart. Wait for the order. It will be my last to you. I protest against my condemnation. I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her! Soldiers, FIRE!"

I would've been more impressed if Nostradomus had predicted his death the next day through a cryptic quatrain.

hope i can go out on the absolutely perfect comedic timimg of "OW, FUCK!"

My favorite last words was from Roman Emperor Vespasian. Who said "Vae, puto deus fio" or roughly translated to "I think I'm becoming a god". Then proply shit himself to death cause of severe diarrhea.

The wife of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, came to him on his deathbed and said "Don't leave me." He said "No." and then he died.

Why do I feel like the nurse that stabbed Roald Daal was a time traveler who wanted to ruin his peaceful last words

„Damn that ass can fart“ >dies

My uncle isn't dead yet and it's not his last words but I remember spending the weekend with him a few weeks ago and he said he was born in 61 and he intends to go out at 61. He was born in 1961 and he's currently 61 years old and was given a couple months to live as of new years day 2022 due to a brain tumor. He's dying but has a better sense of humor than so many others

Not sure if these were her last words, but my great grandmother was on her death bed, started to take off the respirator as if to speak, a family member said “don’t take that off it’s keeping you alive” to which she replied “well that’s profound” and put the respirator back on. This was many years ago but has stuck with me, and “profound” has been one of my favourite words ever since.

My favorite last words was some dude, I forgot his name, and he was in the hospital and the doctor was telling a relative he was in good condition. The man then said, “on the contrary” and promptly died. He died out of spite towards a doctor.

You forgot Freddie Mercury’s last words: “Pee pee”

6:16 I cannot believe you didn't mention Giles Corey's last words, uttered as he was being crushed to death to torture information out of him: *_"More weight"_*

You just know Emily Dickinson had planned those last words for years, and was so giddy she was able to be coherent enough to get those out in time.

My favourite has to be Henry Arthur Jones, that said "The prettier. Now fight for it." When asked who he wanted yo stay by his side, his nurse or his niece.

Surprised you didn’t mention the last words of Oscar Wilde which was ‘ This wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. Either it goes or I do’

There was a Muslim Commander, Khalid ibn al-Walid, from my understanding he fought a lot of battles and gain recognition for his work, even earned the nickname "Sword of God" or something, and later on his death bed, he felt like it was bad to not die in battle or something, basically asking "why did I not die in battle" to which someone next to him answered "because God could not let his sword fall in battle"

The most famous death quote of my generation "You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the Grim Reaper."

"Good. A woman who can still fart is not dead." - Is what i will be saying to every woman who i hear fart. This one is to you, Mom. Happy Valentine's Day.

i actually fell down a rabbit hole once and ended up on the wikipedia page for last words just reading centuries worth of em, one of my favourite passtimes now

Some last words for the next video: Bing Crosby - "That was a great game of golf, fellas. Let's go have a Coca-Cola." Salvador Dali - "Where is my clock?" R.D. Laing: "I'm a fucking doctor." Marie Antoinette: "Pardon me, sir, I did not do it on purpose." Charles Gussman: "And now for a final word from our sponsor." Joan Crawford: "Damn it! Don't you dare ask God to help me!" Alexander Graham Bell: "No."

Cant believe you didnt mention how Cicero's executioner fucked up the execution and had to hack his head off

Community engagement? Analytics? Pre-planned releases? Those probably don't have any relationship whatsoever 🤷🏻‍♂️

I saw a post where some girls grandmother's last words were, 'Want to here a funny joke?' and then she died and the machine did a long beep.

Thomas de Mahy, Marquis de Favras was executed around the time of the French Revolution. When given his death warrant, he deadpanned “I see you have made three spelling mistakes”

I remember two famous people with great final words, Machiavelli (really important Renaissance Italy writer) and Augustus (first and arguably greatest Roman emperor. The first was a renowned atheist/agnostic (or treated as such by contemporaries) and on his deathbed various priests tried to convince him to repent for his sins or he'd have gone to hell, to which he replied something like "Good!" right before dying (this is not really sure tho). Augustus' on the other hand were just solemn: after founding an empire and ruling it for decades, his last words before dying were "The play is finally over: everybody clap!"

I am making a political statement. Capital punishment isn't a punishment. its an easement. it prevents someone from being a resource drain by being in prison for life and offers some small measure of comfort to the people they have irrevocably injured. HOWEVER we have had far too many people in prison for life sentences only to be latter acquitted because of new evidence. A death sentence should be reserved for only those cases where there can be no doubt what-so-ever regarding the persons guilt. Not even "beyond a reasonable doubt" NO doubt at all.

The reflection of the screen on his sunglasses gives High big rectangular pupils and corneas, and that makes me giggle.

9:12 Sounds fake, everyone knows it’s impossible for girls to fart

I just love that for all the famous last words throughout history, there are as many that fit under the category of “Profound words of wisdom”, as there are that fit under the category of “Agh! I’m dying!”

Little did we know, the guy who said "Yo, God, I've got this." Had dyslexia...

"Okay so how does this capping machine work?"

Ok the guy who died tagging his brother got a hell of a great last moment. I can only dream my last moments would be so wholesome

The Salem witch trials also has the most badass last words, this guy is slowing being crushed with rock, and each time they ask if he wants to admit it, he'd say "more weight"

Should have added tiny tims last words after his final show "I don't feel well". Real fucking heart punching.

11:36 when you are fighting in interchange with 1000 ping and your friend gets shot by a rat

'People die if they are killed' or 'Left it up to the professionals' are my top two epitaphs im mulling over

the ''OW FUCK'' made me piss myself i laughed so hard 10:58

Ulysses S. Grants last word was, “water.” *and then he fucking died*

My favorite is W.C. Fields "Goddamn the whole fucking world and everyone in it, except you, Carlotta."

10:10 he also predicted his own death by saying I don't want to play 10 years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at age 40. He ended up having a 10 year nba career and died of a heart attack at 40

man actually understood what anarchy was 5:07. kudos to him

3:45 this voice is perfect for this line, wtf

8:22 I have to disagree with you there, he essentially just said “your it, I quit”, but with more pizzaz

Correction, Caesar only became the name of the title after Augustus. Julius Caesar And Augustus both had Caesar as an actual part of their names. The first few emperors also took Caesar as a part of their name, but the later emperors gradually turned it into a title.

6:04 Man, when you mentioned the Salem witch trials I thought you were gonna talk about Giles Corey He was a man accused of witchcraft, but he refused to enter a plea. This technically meant that the court case could not get started, so to prevent people from using this loophole they would strip someone naked, place them between two boards and then put rocks on top to "convince" someone to enter a plea But even after several days of this Giles Corey's only request was "more weight", which were reportedly his last words.

Scathing commentary on the whole “holding video hostage for likes” situation. Liked. Subscribed.

2:56 June 6 is D-Day, which was depicted famously in Saving Pvt Ryan- so she likely confused two “patriotic” movies popular around the same time.

"God will give you blood to drink." That's so fucking metal, I love it. And your Deus Ex beard too, looks sweet.

Great video. At 3:16 and a couple other times the reflection of the screen in the glasses is so perfect it looks like you have these square cartoon eyes, love it

Don't forget the most famous last words: "hold my beer and watch this!"

The intro to this was perfect. Keep it up, dude. Love your content and honesty.

8:10 me and my friend will now live up to this guy's legacy

I have never before "hit the bell" until you honestly explained what you had done previously and what youtubers do constantly in order to drive up engagement. I have no idea what the bell does but I was already subscribed so that seemed like the thing to do.

June 6th was the date of the Normandy invasion in 1944 Which makes the whole thing even funnier

I really like this style of Huggbees video. Keep it up man you’re doing great.

11:15 his final masterpiece 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 I can't breathe

12:28, this is actually a direct reference to Cato’s death. Cato tried to kill himeslf but failed as Caesars’s doctors saved his life. While in hospital after realising the man he hated saved his life, he killed himself again. Cicero always said Caesar should have just killed Cato cause everyone knew he was gonna be a little bitch about it
