Our Flag was based on a kid who wanted an A on his history project. wow

His teacher must have been really embarrassed

Teacher :That ain’t no us flag Robert : *hold my beer*

Robert’s Teacher: “I’ll change your grade when your flag is accepted by the U.S. Congress!” Robert: *Flag gets accepted by the U.S. Congress* Robert’s Teacher: ( ._.)

The guy who dropped the tootsie roles probably thought " Hahaha this is gonna be the best prank" Edit:I still watch this video from time to time and completely forgotten about this comment.

Great big- The teacher kept his promise and change the grade to an A. Me-Should be an A+

*makes national history* Teacher:fine you can have an A LIKE NOT AN A+

"So what do you do for a living, Bob?" "I'm a knocker-upper." "Oh... So you-" "Yeah, I knock people up... Sometimes ten a day, if I'm lucky. Men. Women. Doesn't matter to me. Pop me a shilling and you'll be knocked up within the hour." "Wait, so how do you-" "With my 10 foot pole of course." "Goodbye, Bob."

Japanese: reject Atlantic salmon Him: I wish I was never Bjørn

How to wreck teachers 101

teacher: “I’ll change your grade when your flag gets accepted by the us congress.” robert’s brain: *You dare oppose me mortal?* robert: *Calls the white house and sends a ton of letters* *Flag Gets Accepted* teacher: wow, what a madlad.

5:26 Logan Paul: *Did I hear SuiCide?!*

Change the national flag just for the complete note in a homework? damn...

My grandpa actually used to tell me this story about the tootsie rolls, he was apart of the chosin reservoir, they had to thaw them under their armpits, many of them were dying of frostbite in their dugouts, tootsie rolls were the only thing they had to eat for a time since the were sent those instead of rations - years later he would attend reunions every year for those from the chosin few and he had a north star pin based off of the north star they followed for navigation and there was a version of this star pin with a tootsie roll on it - one of my favorite pins in my collection since it reminds me of him ♡ So interesting to hear stories about it

6:26 gets tootsie rolls Decides to use them as ammo Hits soldier “NOOOOO IVE BEEN HIT” starts crying “ NO GOD NO DONT LET ME DIEEE” Realizes it didn’t hurt at all Sees tootsie roll on the ground “ what the fu..”

Who the hell has 100k tootsie rolls just laying around

with or without that kid, wasn't the US bound to add additional stars to the flag anyways??

So you mean the people who were saved by the tootsie rolls, missed out on the chance to call them selves " The Chosen Chew?"

the kid's grade should have been A+

''Knocker Upper'' A more British sounding thing has never yet been said.

the guy who dropped the tootsy rolls probably got fired.

The original Life game is better, it's more realistic, not sugarcoated

That game of life though *rolls dice...* *1,2,3,4 landed on... sUiCiDe bOi, gIt FuCkEd!*

Teacher: “I’ll change your grade to an A when your flag is chosen by the U.S congress!” Robert: Hold my crafting tools

Wow not an A+

So the flag was born out of pettiness... yeah seems about right

Why didn’t they call them “the chosen chew”?

I actually found this quite interesting and that’s a surprise because I don’t normally find worldwide history entertaining

Not even a A+ what does that teacher EXPECT?!?

*at a party* Guy 1: “yeah I market computers to the 87th biggest technological company in the US. I bet your feats don’t even compare. Guy 2: “Yeah I kinda like invented the flag soooooo.......”

It should’ve been “The Chosen Chewed”

So he just added more stars to the exact same flag... What an achievement originality 100

That's also where the term for getting pregnant came from. The "Knocker-up" would wake up the man, he'd go to work, then when he was done with his knock-up rounds he'd stop by a have a little fun with the wifes, since he knew which ones were alone at home. Hense the term "She got knocked-up."

I love this channel.

The Tootsie Roll's story is awesome

A moment to appreciate the cleanest RIP ever 4:55

Dear bjørn, Sushi is my favorite snack to eat and always will be :) sincerely, your sushi addict

I am Norwegian, and I got SUPRISED salmon sushi came from Norway. This is information even we don’t know about. 👀

Changes history, gets a A instead of a A+ 🤦🏼‍♀️

That teacher still couldn't give an A+ I can't believe it

So cool. This is why I love Great Big Story.

jeez those those people who thought tootsie rolls would fix their tank were probably really drunk that night.

Thank you GBS! You give me the answers to those everyday questions 👍

Asian parents when they found out his son makes national history *WHY U NO GET A+*

5:48 Shouldn't you say, "The Life, Of The Game Called Life."

An A!!!! The American flag should be worth ATLEAST an A+

*9:29* **hears mochi** excuse me? You talkin bout my lil Jimin? Lmao 😂

I like how most of the videos made by great big story makes the videos so short entertaining and fun

I didnt understand what the student did do with the flag... he just added the missing states star?

I don't understand why people still don't know that Czechoslovakia do not exists anymore .... Yep, it's been a while ...

Kid: Changes the course of US history *Gets only an A* Me: does a good report *Gets an A+*

Me: Sees title card that says The Dark Origins Of A Game Called Life Also Me: This is why I love this channel.

Just an A? No A+ or somethin...

Only an A? For getting accepted to the US congress????

Soldiers: Ey bruh we runnin' out of bullets send some "Tootsie rools" Trolls at the white house: Ok :) Soldiers: Die Trolls at the white house: Insert surprised Pikachu meme

1:55 lol wtf They’re brits

An A? He deserved an A+. Still a good teacher, though.

2:08 BOIII I'M LIKE WHY NOT AN A+???

bro that teacher couldnt even give him an A+ smh

Great video

Knocker uppers in this video reminds me of something we have had in Egypt traditionally, a job called Mesaharaty (المسحراتي). Al Mesaharaty duty is to wake people up before sun rise to eat their pre-fasting meal (sohor سحور) in Ramadan since the times when clocks didn't even exist. He used a small drum on which he would tap a specific rhythm and sang to wake people up. I don't know if the rhythm which they sang was the same throughout history, but it have always been known to us as this song: "2es'ha ya naym wahed al daym, Ramadan karim (اصحى يا نايم وحد الدايم، رمضان كريم)". Which translates to "wake up who ever is sleeping, worship the immortal God, Ramadan is a generous month". It might be a bad translation but I tried my best 😅. We don't need mesaharaty now because of alarm clocks and smartphones, but the tradition is still going in many places across Egypt and kids wait for them to hear their names called by their local mesaharaty. The word mesaharaty came from the word sohor, which is the name of the pre-fasting meal we have before the sun rises to prepare for fasting. Mesaharaty roughly translates to "the man whose work is caring for people's sohor", similar to other words like meghanawaty مغنواتي (singer) from oghnya اغنية (song). I also have always wondered how mesaharaty would wake people up at that time and never missed, maybe they did the same as the knocker uppers!

2:13 only a A I would of given a A+

No one: Nobody: Not even a single soul: Soldier: *Where are the bullets?*

Knocker Up sounds like a porn name tbh

I can only image how proud Robbert Heft’s parents are.....and how scummed that teacher must have felt having to pledge allegiance to the flag he gave a B- to every day from then on 😂

Ok, from a B- to an A isn’t bad, but why not a A+? Why wasn’t he honoured by the teacher / school? The change of flag from 48 stars to 50 was evolutional! (Ik that the marks don’t matter really, it’s the thought that counts) Anyways even though the clips had to be short, I feel like there could’ve been more information tho (there’s probably a full documentary on it lmao idk) Besides that, it was interesting to find that out! 🤪

Thx Lin

Congratulations Robert!

The chosin reservoir was a sweet victory. You know what wasn't? Super Bowl LIII.

Salmon sushi is my absolute favorite. Thanks, Bjorn!

Thank you Bjørn

1:47 thx Robert good job

Bc there was sooooooo many alternate ways to arrange 50 stars symetrically. F

The things you do for a good grade....

yoooooo the first one is fyre😁🔥🔥🔥🔥

Interesting!

2:10 Not even A+

Lincoln grew a beard after a young lady at a campaign said he wold look better with a beard. He went it to grow the beard that everyone knows.

Never knew what a tootsie roll was thanks great big story!

Damn my country? Making a sushi type?! Wow! Thanks Norway you made my family very happy with that sushi!

Teacher : I’ll give you a A when the flag gets accepted by Congress. Robert: imma about to do what’s called a pro gamer move

I WAS SHOOK WHEN THEG SAID WAKEY WAKEY OMG DONT HUG ME IM SCARED REFERENCE!!

I had tootsie rolls in my house *AND I LOVE IT* *(THANK YOU FOR DEVELOPING IT)*

That robert boy is the biggest badass in the history

your editing style reminds me of the editing style of the ABC's of death.

I’ll change your grade if your flag is approved by the U.s congress *Gets approved*

*so good*

I love the, *"Game.On."* line ahaha

Notification gang

chocolate saves lives! 🍫✨

bjørn, thank you!

"hey i need a airstrike - make it a tootsie roll" - WHAT happened on the recieving end of that call? " uhm.. candy? ok fine, cheaper than ammo"

Is there a knocker upper for a knocker upper? Edit Crap man they answered that

That student hardly designed the American flag... the idea was already there, he just added 2 more stars? What am I missing here?

That’s so cool

Okay aside from the epic stories , this is the first time i saw Lincon without a beard !

3:25 *_it's safe, it's really yummy_*

Actually, I think I remember hearing how there was no real evidence that Betsy Ross made the first U.S. flag. Good video, still.

"Game on" slaaaaaayed me

Wow Robert! You added two more stars to a flag which was soon to add two more stars!
