Can't believe they left out the ork who went back in time and killed himself so he could have two copies of his favourite gun

My favorite “probably bullshit” ork story has to be the 2x4 Ork. The story goes is that the Imperium captured an Ork and wanted to do studies on how they fought. So they called in a guardsmen and asked him to test the weapons first as a sort of control. After the soldier finished they let the lone Ork in and told him to fire off the guns, instead of grabbing a lasgun or stunner, or any of the other weapons on the table, the Ork instead walked over to a pile of construction equipment and picked up a 2x4 and started shouting “DAKKA! DAKKA! DAKKA!” While shouldering it like a rifle. After terminating the trial the clean up crew found unexplained bullet holes all over the chamber.

Orks: Are dumb. Also Orks: Builds a titan out of parking tickets and DirectTV receivers.

the reason the ultramarines always win is not due to plot armor or GW fanboyism. its because the orks believe blue is the luckiest color.

You forgot about the story of the looted' russ: A crew of guardsmen was forced to abandon their Leman Russ tank, after it's engine got exploded by Ork canonz. A few days later the guard was defending a position when their now looted and orkified tank rolled up on them. They managed to actually shoot it, and stop it. After the battle they tried to scuttle the wreck, and went to have a look inside. The engine was still gone. And in it's place was a crude drawing of an engine with the words "vroom vroom" written on it.

I feel compelled to clear up a misunderstanding about the krorks. The krorks didn't degrade into orks because of infighting or loss of the Old Ones or anything of the sort. The mechanism that lets orks metastasize and grow is triggered by violence. The more an ork fights, the bigger and stronger and also smarter it becomes. The reason why modern orks are so dumb and wimpy compared to the krorks is because no conflict in history has *ever been as bad as the War In Heaven* they were designed to fight, so they haven't had a chance to grow to their full potential since. The closest we've ever come to seeing a full krork resurgence was during the War of the Beast, which was an ork growth spurt in reaction to the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.

You know the "I'm a tank" story is fictional because if it really was orks doing that they'd say "We's a tank"

“We was tryna read an da boss was wonderin ‘if you gits so dumb, why not read in red, cuz red makes you go fasta.” Soz we readz in red, and we getz smart. Well den we stopz fightin to contemplate loif but then Garbog went and krumped ‘imself do den da boss sayz we cant read no more.”

Not only do Gork and Mork exist, they are also the strongest gods in the setting. They just busy beating each other up.

I’m a tank I’m a tank I’m a tank I’m a tank 🤣

I love how the bit about the Orks immediately dying once they realized they couldn’t breathe in space is pretty much the joke in Spongebob about how campfires can’t exist underwater.

The Tau actually beat the Orks once by pretending to be Orks on their coms and shit-talked the other Orks, which resulted in them turning on each other instantly and the Tau won. They also beat them by simply never letting them get close enough to enjoy fighting with their immense long-range firepower. After a while the Orks just lost interest in fighting because they were just getting killed without doing any killing themselves. The Necron leaders HATE the Orks due to them being completely random and unpredictable. The Necron have 4D chess level strategists who still can't deal with the Orks because they just never do what they expect. The most amazing strategies fail because the Orks literally don't know what they're doing either, making them completely random in combat.

There is a very real possibility that the main reason Emperor still can hang on to his mortal coil is the fact that all Ork Boiz still think that Big E is still alive.

You forgot the part where Tuska earned the favor of Khorne by crushing the nutsack of a Daemon Prince of Khorne with his Power Klaw. Khorne found that shit so hilarious that he gave Tuska and his Boyz the power of resurrection and allowed them to torment the Daemon Prince for quite some time before bringing WAAAGH!!! Daemon-Killa to his personal world to fight, die, resurrect and repeat for his eternal amusement.

A friend of mine had a Knob Boss min whose head was on backwards and a little Gretchin mini was cut in half and made to look like it was tied to the ‘front’. He said that the story of this guy was “The pain boy put his head on wrong so he stapled a Gretchin to the other side so he could have 360° vision.

Space Marine: *Fights for humanity and the Emperor* Tau: *fights for the Greater Good* Ork : FIGHT IZ FIGHT

There was once an Ork who accidentally traveled a week backwards in time. He found his younger self, killed him, and took his gun. He lived happily ever after with two of his favorite gun.

one of my favorite ork-backfire story: after a failed battle against the Blood Ravens, the last few orks retreat and almost got away. they faild because one of them looked back and spotted a slow Spacemarine in Terminator-Armor. as he was spotted, the terminator accellerated way beyond normally possible and crushed the last fleeing orks

People often think about what each factions "win" condition is in the 40K universe. The Orks consider the current state of the universe to be their win condition.

Ork head lying on the floor decapitated: "I izn't gunna make it boss. 'ere, take me teef" Boss, also decapitated: "aw fanks mate."

Oh just remembered you have to mention the Red Grot Revolutionary Committee. I remember the best example of them in an exchange between a bunch of gretchen "'Ang on, is you tellin' us what to do Urko?" "We agreed, no leadaz." "Right, in da revolushun no greenie will put himself above anutha greenie. Dat's da law. NOW SHUT UP AN' DO AS I SAY!"

The most brutal warlike sentient mushrooms are comic relief, and the pyromaniac space marines that set an entire planet on fire are the nicest chapter around.

Gork and Mork do, in fact, reside in the Warp and Yes, the Pantheon of Chaos is terrified of them.

Ghazghul once ran Yarrik over with a bane blade on the way to seige his planet. The mighty Warboss looked down at his enemy broken before him, and ordered his pain boys to fix him up and send him home because this was no way to end their fight.

When he talked about squigs I really wanted him to point out that all orks are bald and their hairs is actually squigs

I assure you, sir, this is definitely the Emperor's will. -Doge Vandire

Ork psychic ability is more along the lines of “that’s just the way it is.” If they ran out of gas but remembered that its the Boss that refuels the tank, and he never forgets to refuel the tank, they’d go and find a full tank of gas. If an Ork took a bullet and it looked pretty bad, even if it wasn’t critical at all, they’d be like “well, i’m dead.”

Fun fact: Ghazghul’s full name is based on The Iron Lady. “Mag Uruk Thraka” is an Orky interpretation of “Margaret Thatcher”

What if a group of Ultramarines was really Orks who just believed they were ultramarines so hard that everyone saw ultramarines when they looked at them, and they fly around the galaxy in a looted battle barge, saving the imperium one WAAAAGH at a time.

A description of the Krorks from the books: ‘No, it is a museum,’ Fabius said. Their voices echoed strangely through the long gallery, as if the distance sought to swallow up all sound. ‘These are exhibits, petrified at the moment of collection, or else later posed for best effect.’ ‘That is the largest ork I’ve ever seen,’ Savona murmured, staring up at a towering, twelve-metre-tall monstrosity that loomed in a nearby nook. ‘And his weaponry…’ The frozen creature wore a crude exoskeleton far in advance of anything the orks now might conceive of. Indeed, from his initial examination, Fabius suspected that it might be in advance of his own battleplate. ‘A krork,’ he murmured. ‘One of the first orks. I read about them in the aeldari texts. I have long theorised that the orks are a form of organic weapons system - a rogue biological agent, unleashed during some ancient apocalyptic conflict. There’s too much about their internal workings that seems designed, rather than evolved.’

33:24 for the people that wanna hear the "I'm a tank I'm a tank" story

I remember reading a theory that the reason the Orks aren't as intelligent now is that they were built to and for battle. With no other species they turned to infighting, breaking up in Klans, and devolving technology as to enjoy the fight just a little longer. It's why, when in the War of the Beast, they actually sent an Ork emissary to request the Imperium's surrender, the emissary in perfect Imperial High Gothic, bluntly stated that the Imperium provided no challenge and that they would accept them as a subservient race so that they could focus their efforts on finding a proper challenge elsewhere in the universe. They were approaching their former Krork levels during the War in Heaven.

Despite what is said here, Stormboyz are the least anarchistic Orks as they actually set up things like drill grounds, polish their boots, and give themselves medals.

I swear, if Yarrik shouted WAAAAAGGGGHHHH during the Wars of Aarmogedon, he could probably get the first 'official' Ork Regiment, and he'd be able to keep them in line better than the Mordians. Hmm, maybe I can make an Ork Army with Yarrik as a replacement Big Boss.

I swear to Gork and Mork, the Pain Boy killed more of my Boyz than the actual guardsmen.

Fun fact: even detonating a planet’s core doesn’t guarantee the Orkz are gonna die. A chunk or two is gonna carry spores into space and become a space hulk.

Human mech: Copy-pasted from lost technology with an AI that eats your soul when you die - looks hunch-backed Eldar mech: Built entirely from warp-stuff and a spirit-bonded space elf - looks like an Eva unit Ork mech: Looks like a ball of scrap metal topped with guns because that's what it is💚💚looks like a GRIMDARK BIG_CHUNGUS BECAUSE IT IS!

Certified mushroom moment

This is a fact i read in an ork codex: the size and density of the ‘toof’ fully correlates to its value, so the tusks of an enormous squiggoth would be incredibly valuable, whereas orks don’t even bother removing the small, fragile, omnivorous ‘teef’ of us humans.

Coming from someone who knows nothing about 40k, orks seem to mostly be the physical manifestation of “monke strats” AND I LOVE IT

The species that litrerally devours galaxy Is less aggressive then some fungy

Orkz think they're the greatest and best race to ever live. And they might be just right.

Power of Believe has become a meme so big... People forgets what humans and specially the Sisters of Battle can do with the same Power of Imagination

My favorite are the rebellious young Orks who are so non-conformist that they end up training and practicing actual tactics.

A variant story of the Orks repairing their space ship is instead of another Ork ship coming by to help repairs, the ship's Mek opens a window and asks where their space suits are, reminding the Orks working outside that they can't breathe in space. All the Orks outside die and start floating away, apparently also believing they would stick to the hull like it had gravity. The Mek calls them all "dumb gitz" and closes the window.

An important thing to understand when going into the Lamenters: Despite all the jokes being "unlucky sad bois", the appeal of the chapter is that they maintain a nobility at the level of which Sanguinius demanded of the Blood Angels when they were a legion under his command despite everything they've gone through.

Not sure if anyone will see this, but technically Gork and Mork are the most powerful God's in 40k.

24:07 "Orks don't get depressed" Nobody knows the tradgedy of barbog

Thank you guys so so very much for using the animated logo I made! It means a lot, truly. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

I love how the structure here isn't as lore-oriented so the general flow of info is just "So here's Painboys, and then there's Squiggs, but there's also Ork physiology, and now some memes, but there's also a smidge of culture, so let's come RIGHT back around to Squiggs!"

Tuska is probably my favorite Ork ever, he's an ork that got a taste for fighting demons, so much so that everytime he travel in the warp he keep the doors open hoping he would get to fight a demon, then decided to travel in the eye of terror to fight even more Demons, got noticed by Khorne and put him in the Brass Citadel where he just fights Demons for all eternity, it's like unironically the most wholesome ending for an Ork.

I just Image the Krieger Korps and the Orks just on a perpetual crusade against one another and both side loving it because the Korps gets to sacrifice for the Emperor and the Orks get to just have constant war.

As an Ork player, if you roll a shit load of sixes, annihilate a full unit of spase mareens and don't shout WAAAAAAGGGGHHH then you ain't doing it right. Gork (or possibly Mork) protects.

Would techpriest work "fasta" in the presence of orks cause they wear red 🤔

The idea of Krorks becoming Orks for me is that the Krorks ran out of crazy strong things to fight and like modern Orks the stronger the enemy/the more they fight the bigger and stronger they became and once they ran out of strong enemies to fight they devolved and became a weaker and smaller Ork

One thing to always remember with 40k, where everyone else is suffering, dying in mass numbers, war is all across the galaxy, the Orks are always just having the absolute time of their lives

Orks, the most optimistic green English-accented marauders.

It's a shame you guys didn't get into the different clans. DK would probably like to hear about the Blood Axez and how they learned military tactics from watching the Imperial Guard.

Orks are simple, that you always just have to go, “I guess that would happen?” And then just go along with it

Forgot about the one where Da Boss wanted his boyz to learn how to read, but they had to learn fast. So all instructions/lessons were written in red and unfortunately the boyz began to learn so fast that their heads started exploding. After that there was no more talk of reading.

9:45 The reason why the Orks devolved is because of the LACK of combat. While they had the war in heaven they had so much war and had to fight so hard that they existed as Krorks but when they had considerably less enemies to fight with they devilved into their currant form. Orks literarly can not survive witouth fight.

The Orks were the one species specifically created by the Old Ones, Bricky

Godlord imagine seeing a freaking Ork, painting a door opening it and then going to the other side of the galaxy

29:50 there was that comic of the Emperor sitting at a table and Gork and Mork show up. He gets all upset and say "Gork and Mork leave" And they simply reply "No"

36:10 "Huh? How does Buddha get into 40k" Craftworld Eldar

Have you heard the story where a couple of orks were running from some terminators from the blood angels and the terminators were slower, but because they were red, the orks believed they would be faster, therefore they died

I will point out that the Salamanders were able to prevent an Ork Waagh from regrowing at one point with them totally destroying the spores of the warband completely...but it involved basically lighting an entire Hive City on fire.

One of my many favourite things about the Orks is a subgroup of them called Tankbustas, which is where a bunch of Orks like explosions so much that they decided to get into a nice squad of 5-15 boys who have the same opinion on the best thing to do in a WAAAGH and try blowing tanks sky high with their rokkits. But the best part of that is that if shooting the rokkits doesn’t work, they run into close-combat and strike the tank with a rokkit attached to a metal stick. They get so high off this that they will enter the broken vehicle, eat any survivors, and drink the motor oil in a ritual act known as "GETTIN' TANKED!", presumably while also listening to some base-boosted hardbass. Basically they’re the Ork equivalent of crackheads mixed with Junkrat and Gopniks.

On a slightly less comic relief and more of a existentially horrific side you should have mentioned the Octarius War and the War of the Beast. The former is a perpetual conflict between the Orks and the Tyranids orchestrated by the infamous Inquisitor Kryptman where the Orks and the Bugs just keep killing each other and growing stronger and if one side ever wins the galaxy is going to be fucked. The latter is a massive Waaaagh! that happened soon after the Heresy and was so large that it saw some of the Krork characteristics return to modern day Orks allowing them to use actual strategy and building teleporting attack moons.

I bet at some point in time, a pain boy has accidentally sewn some other orks arm onto an injured ork.

I imagine the ork head and limb re-attachment thing, is like splicing trees and things. Where you can cut a orange branch off and put it on another fruit tree and it just keeps growing, producing both fruit

One of the best things about Orks is that it is lore accurate to have a bunch of grim faced Imperials using the goofy Ork names with straight faces all the while. Or even better, the intelligence briefing for a new member of the command staff that has never fought Orks before and is being told with a straight face about the threat posed by Weirdboyz and that there is an entire column of Warboss Gitstomper’s Boomdakka Snazzwagons heading this way.

Grimgor Ironhide, from Warhammer Fantasy, was apparently actually suffering from depression because he couldn't find anybody worth fighting until he went north and met his new (albeit shortlived) BFFs Karl Franz, Settra and Archaeon.

I actually start getting into 40k because of Bricky's video. Because of that, now I have about 2000 points Ork army that still needs more Boys.

there's a Speed Freek warlord who goes from planet to planet building huge tellyporta pads, so that one day he can ride his bike from one end of the galaxy to another without having to get off

I remember an excellent little bit on Painboyz: I don't remember it precisely, but there was an Ork who had a really bad headache, so the Painboy did a brain transplant on him and replaced his brain with a Squig, and the Ork survived just fine (for as much as one can with a Squig where their brain should be)

god i hope other people are reading the comments on this video. people could be making stories up about the orkz and their nonsense, and honestly I can not tell.

Gork and Mork exist in their WAAAGH! realm in The Warp. The other Gods know it's just better to avoid them.

The orks are so pervasive that they've infested other realities.

The Inquisition found that if Orks don't fight they become dumber and weaker, I think Crorks become Orks become they had nothing to fight.

One of the best episodes so far. I died from the storm boyz and orks suffocating in space, this is so hilarious

Hearing Bricky talk about Orks gives me life. He's so emphatic.

"You klaim purple ain't a sneeky colour, yet you ain't nevah seen a purple ork. Kurious."

"I fought the Greenskins once, never have so many a Krieg soldier made it up to the Emporer" - Commissar ----------

Burnna boyz love setting people on fire because like they like to see the burny dance

Bricky, I'm a long time fan, and loving adeptus ridiculous. Just want you to know that as a 40k lore fan I expect a full episode dedicated to the true savior of humanity in the 41st millennium....SLY MARBO

Commissar: Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword! Ork: Fly me closer, I want to headbutt them!

Best part about yarrick is that according to the lore he is weaker when away from the orcs... But when he gets near orcs, because they believe he is a good fighter, he starts to feel physically stronger and faster and becomes abetter fighter.

The guardsmen planet "4chan image" is actually a bug in the ~~fan-game~~ I mean MOD called Warhammer 40k Chapter Master. The population number gets bugged so it's quite funny.

You kinda misquoted the Gork and Mork thing, it's "Cunningly Brutal" and "Brutally Cunning" , a bit of wordplay.

The Necrons knew that if they didn't go into slumber the ongoing war with the Krork would make them even more powerful, so they went to sleep. The ensuing Era of peace resulted in the devolution of the Krork to Orc. An Orc who can't wage war literally dies, it's a fundamental requirement for their survival.

I think the best part about Orks isn't them directly, but whenever anyone talks about them and their units. They don't say the proper way of things (so a Shoota Boi would be a Shooter Boy), they just say whatever the unit name is. So you'll get these super serious Imperium guys talking about the Orks and saying things such as "Shoota Boiz", "Choppa Boiz", etc.

well f*ck me, im "THAT GUY!" LMAO

How to make Emperor comeback and solve everything Step 1: Make Ork believe in him Step 2: ... Profit

One of my favourite things about Makari's bullshit luck (at least in the current edition) is that if he rolls a 6 for the wound roll on his knife, he inflicts *D3 mortal wounds.* This means that if he nicks a Custodes with his knife, there's a chance that the Custodes could just explode into a red mist.

When you were talking about the Orks being savage and dark, you forgot to mention the stories about them loving to light things on fire because they find it funny when other races do "The Burny Dance"

Brutal kunnin and kunnin brutality

Surpised that you didn't mention the war of the beast at least once.

Let’s not forget than an imperium satellite that was sent out beyond the milky ways borders sent a ping back saying “there’s signs of orks beyond the galactic rim” or something like that.

4 months late but the irks ideas for color made me think of something Blue is lucky, so the ultramarines plot armor And green is the best color so the Salamanders are generally the best and nicest group, so maybe the pros are responsible for a lot of the things in the Imperium
