Putting a dude in jail under “suspicion” (he was Celtic) for 3 months and letting another dude go free after robbing a bank (they didn’t know how to charge someone with that) sounds like a synopsis of a comedy sketch

Hugbees is the kind of guy to run off a cliff, float, look down and fall.

I’m imagining the stereotypical robbers firing their guns into the air to startle the bank goers into submission, but since it’s the late 1700’s they all have to spend a minute to reload and get the crap beaten out of them.

As a historian blacksmith, gotta say, hell yeah! Pat Lyon is a chad, used his big lawsuit reward to have a bad ass painting made, where he specifically wanted to be painted like a common blacksmith and not like a wealthy gentleman (ya know, the people who can usually afford portraits). Also in the background of the painting is included the cupola carpenters hall, where the bank was located at the time. AND- John Neagle being an obsessive nerd made sure to measure all of Pat's tools and paint them exactly as they actually looked, when most artists at the time just took the ol "eh thats just some stupid blacksmith shit draw a brick on a stick and call it a day" approach.

i'd imagine it would go like "give me money" "no" "please" "okay fine" but then historians get the details so wrong then believe they fought to the death over the ancient equivalent of like 8 bucks

This man dropped a 15 minute video at the start of my 15 min break. Impeccable timing you could only expect from Huggbees

I remember a story of some man who robbed a glue factory and ended up sticking himself to the ground during the act, leaving himself as the easiest criminal to ever arrest.

"We are arresting you because we think you robbed a bank" 3 months later, after they found the real guy: "Damn, not gonna lie I dont know how long you should be in jail"

"i want you to think of the stupidest way for a bank robber to be caught-" me : *hits family fued button * IN THE VAULT UNABLE TO ESCAPE

Him: Hey girl, wanna talk about the Pennsylvania bank robbery of 1798? Me: 😩🥵💦

Bankrobber: "I'll tell you how I robbed the bank if you free me." Guy who has been telling them exactly what happened from jail: "☹"

Bring back bank robberies where the banker is legally allowed to bring out the shotgun hidden underneath the counter

The inventor of silly confirms the release of silly 2

I thought this would be about the guy who tried to rob a bank with lemon juice on his face so that it’s invisible ink properties rendered him invisible

You never miss an opportunity to bring up Snowflame, the cocane powered super villain, do you?

I knew nothing about this story but when you asked me what's the stupidest way someone could rob a bank, the first thing that came to mind was robbing a bank than depositing the stolen money into the bank that you robbed. As you can tell my faith in humanity was never very high to begin with.

Holy shit something actually happened in Pennsylvania other than Philadelphia

I love that snowflame and sonic are crucial parts of the Huggbees Cinematic universe. I still remember when snowflame the cocaine powered supervillain snorted at the speed of sound

huggbees: tries calculate the inflation himself his immediate reaction: "yeah no that can't be right" _mood_

“Lion the blacksmith” is so unironically badass.

When you realize that Huggbees talks with his hands just as much at his computer as when he does standing up, even when you can't see them on screen.

The greatest twist in this story is that Lyon basically invented the light novel

some years ago, near my house, there was a bank heist, the dude posed as an IT tech and came out with millions in cash, hasn´t been found to this day, that was a ballsy move that paid off

I work at a bank these days, and honestly, some of the fraud attempts people do are almost as dumb as "I'ma sleep inside the bank, let my buds in, then deposit the stolen money into my own account", and there's way more security practices in place now.

It's a sad state of affairs when the number of things that have changed meaningfully about the legal system since this incident can be counted on one hand.

You seem like that one uncle who you rarely see, but always love seeing

The extended silence after "I'm so glad that the modern legal system that we have never lets racial prejudice stand in the way of proper justice." is too good.

Nothing like enjoying 15 minutes of Hugbees recounting the tale of the first American bank robbery on my birthday

“We always come back to loving death and destruction, don’t we?” “Fuck yeah we do”

I actually got the woman of my dreams talking about the robbery of 1798. Thanks huggbees 😃

I mean, imagine threatening guys doing their job to give you money for free.

The world needs comedians and storytellers. We are lucky to have both in Huggabee. Thank you.

13:25 I so thought he was gonna say "Because he died of Yellow Fever" right after that lol.

The jump to start this video is absolutely phenomenal.

Can we appreciate how Huggbees consistently makes 15+ minute long videos?

3:35 it's been a good minute since i heard a "Nani the fuck?!" from Huggbees

Start doing more funny historical shit like this, you always kill it man lmao

Andrew stepped up his humor in my eyes with how long he let that silence go on.

When he said to imagine the most stupid outcome I was like "Probably depositing the money to the same bank he stole it from". Then I watched the rest of the video.

Huggbees is the kind of guy to read a dictionary. Start to finish. For the plot.

This man's channel has evolved into a history class

Not going to lie, I legit thought that it was a Wendigoon video that came out because the title totally feels like something Wendigoon would cover at some point in the future himself. That being said, it's always great to see a new Huggbees video come out! (Incidentally, my comment is just another point of Huggbees where we laugh at people and the stupid things they do or have in mind.)

That smooth jump on screen in the first second made me so happy for no good reason

Still waiting for a Huggbees video where he Hugs Bees.

I felt really jabbed at with the crunchyroll joke. Still died from laughter from it

Anything discussed through the lens of Hugbees becomes exponentially more interesting. My nonsense history loving self is always overjoyed with this junk.

I can hear the police back then, “Where’s the blacksmith!”

Remember though, the book was 80 pages in Lyon's time. But with inflation, its probably a lot more.

as a fellow Floridian, we do infact love death and destruction even the Zephyrhills water that is miraculously placed in every Floridian home

Thank you for this work of Modern Art.

Hugbees doesnt miss I swear id watch this man just stare into a camera and randomly quote vines for 10 hours straight. Ilu man

0:00 what a display of sheer athleticism

Jesus Christ I needed a laugh so bad. Thanks hugs, you came in clutch just when I needed it.

No rest for the wicked Hugbees content, niiiiice

Hugbees looks like a guy who starred in failed, unknown films and swore to take revenge on the movie industry

Astounding and incredible to see this second awesome upload from Huggbees, and it happened to be posted the day of my one year wedding anniversary :) today on our 1920s train ride back from the Grand Canyon, our train was stopped for a staged cowboy hijacking and robbery. Much more fun than bank robberies or the real thing! Thank you for a great closer to my wonderful day.

The title of the book kind of sounds like a Japanese light novel 🤣🤣

In terms of stupid ways to get caught, I thought of the art thieves from Internet Historian's video. Giving your real phone number to a rando you borrow a vehicle from you use in the crime... and keeping a full itinerary of your crime including all accomplices on paper...

"I want you to be thinking about the stupidest possible way for a bank robber to get caught while watching this video..." Okay, they misplaced their getaway car and decided to approach a policeman for help. "...and then think of an even stupider way." Oh, they asked a policeman for the best bank to rob.

I love how Huggbees videos boil down to either "Heres an interesting thing I found" or "Heres how this would be made if I was God" and Im here for both.

ive never even thought of the history of bank robberies, thank you daddy huggs

I didn’t watch the full video since I’m commenting this before I could even watch the whole thing but I just wanted to let you know it was great and I was enthralled by the topic.

Always a great day when Huggbees uploads. Thanks Andrew!

I can't believe I predicted the twist EXACTLY I feel so smart.

Samuel Hybbinson? HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Yknow, we all talk about robbing banks, but i feel like rob, my local banker, needs a lot more credit

i was trying to fall asleep and when he went quiet at 9:44 i thought that either the next video will start or he will say 'dont worry, your autoplay is working'

the fact he unironically says "abscond" at 11:46 not knowing the many people who have a connection to that word

We will never know hugbees eye color, all I see is shades

Huggbees lookin’ like he’s about to sell me the secret to Snowflame’s power.

So this is where "I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that" comes from.

The last two weeks have been Huggbees Heaven

13:58 my biggest question is what was lion imprisoned for if bank robbery wasn’t a crime back then and why didn’t they just charge the actual thief with it

Noice! Unfortunately it also shows our justice system hasn't changed as our founders had hoped.

God only entrusts his silliest bank robberies to his silliest bank robbers.

Huggbees is the type of guy to use the Bethesda engine plate glitch on every door regardless of whether or not it’s actually locked.

So I take it you’ll be offering history lessons in The Great Courses Plus?

The Penny Plunderer strikes again! 🪙

Best format you have done yet, Bring some more!

A man robbed a bank with nothing but lemon juice all over his face. Because his rationality was that; if it makes invisible ink, it'll make me invisible. It did not.

I love the hand gestures reflected in the sunglasses XD

You should talk about the first armored car robbery that also happened in Pennsylvania

Nothing like watching a 15 minute long hugbees video on a fairly regular day during a time of no particular importance.

Dude, you're pumping these videos out fast and clean.

3:55 You couldn't resist lol

his book's title kinda aged well if you think about it as an anime title

Ah, early modern English nonfiction book titles, always a pleasure

Samuel Robbinson not being a conspirator to a bank robbery is Ace Attorney levels of names

14:23 Seems about right.

15:19 Gaol

The best thing about heist movies is that they tend to run clean. No violence, but trickery. And the vault is usually owned by the bad guy and the whole thing is kind of a Robin Hood story.

I randomly clicked on this video by accident and the intro had me hooked because yes I do find heists intriguing 😁

Stiiiiill waiting for the next 'How it's actually made' video... Come on, Huggbees, we know you can do this!

I just got off crunchy roll to watch this. Thank you for the knowledge I can now seduce the McDonald's employee of my dreams

Even though i looked at the subscription tab, i wasn’t recommended this video until watching random iceberg videos to fall asleep

6 hours after watching this video and now I have a girlfriend, thank you huggbees

Old titles never left a single thing to imagination. You could read only that, and you got all the information in the book. Guaranteed.

This feels less like a real historical event and more like a real-life shitpost.
