I was one of those kids who watched Spike TV when I was 9 or 10. I love how your channel regales my nostalgia specifically to the youngins who weren't cool enough to be kids in the 2000s.

Like people can afford to buy jewelry

Tom Holland in drag was my favorate lmao I grew up in a wild time

Jason Ellis ! NO WAY, I Never knew he was on Spike?!!?!!??!?! Tony Hawk's friend?! THAT"S WOLF, from HAWK VS WOLF. Tony Hawk's Podcast HAHAHA NO WAY. As Soon as I heard him speak I was like No way, its him without face tattoos. wow.

Literally saw 1000 ways to die as a kid, and couldn’t think the same since

Same. I never heard anyone speak about it in connection to the other Spike tv shows.

You might be getting mixed up with Samurai Champloo

Same here

it was released direct to dvd here in the uk, so it kinda skipped that over here. really, spike tv just did reruns of futurama.

Should have gone to Adult Swim. Afro Samurai is too good for Spike TV.

BOUNCING BEWBS

Yes. It has happened to me.

The premise of a channel for men in a reality where 99% of media is already created by and for men could only result in this kind of base idiocy.

I need to know what the manswer to that was.

@@DrewLSsixfr

He’s gay… he dances… AND HAS GUNS!

I feel like homosexual stuff only appeals to homosexuals. Just because hes holding a gun doesnt mean anybody cares.

he had the fash cut in Starship Troopers he was already the gay guy for real men honestly

Holy fuck so did I lol

"Real men" 😂

also the British series Brainiac

what episode was he on?

How tf you get a phd in medieval warfare

​@@Zzed45Ella Mafia you can get a degree in anything at this point

@@Zzed45Get good history grades and go study medieval history in university.

Well history itself shows that gun powder beats medieval warfare

Perfect comparison

Honestly yeah

😂😂😂

Blue mountain state. Oh boy do I miss that show hahaha

Yeah I was comparing it to Lifetime on the last video lol

I read this comment before the video actually talked about that show, and I was so confused

I hated the show. They take real deaths and twist them making the dead look like an awful person. There's two cases of this happening, one in 1989 and the one in the show is VERY loosely based off on Marciana Silva Barcelos, except she wasn't a pervert like Mason. On November 11th, 2008 in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - Barcelos, 67, was a passenger in the hearse carrying the body of her husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, who had died the day before. Suddenly, a speeding Alfa Romeo car struck the back of the hearse. Dislodged by the accident, Josi’s coffin hurtled forward and smashed into the back of Marciana’s neck, killing her instantly.

I’ve always thought about that when watching the show. Like no way were all these people genuinely horrible or deserved it and then I imagine if all these people who died were able to see the show and how they were represented. Like I can imagine the guy who got crushed by a coffin was just a normal dude, prolly had a family, pretty chill or whatever and we all remember him as a necrophile

@@t.l.w.1221 I listed the case in my comment above. It was a she, and she probably had f*cked the person (while they were alive)... Because it was her husband. Really sad story. The show had no respect for the dead.

@@Gatorade69 Not to derail your point because it's indeed awful to try to downplay the severity of a strange death by presenting the victims as absolute horrible beings who _deserve_ to die (most unusual deaths are down to bad luck and have nothing to do with karma) But her name was literally "Martian"????

@@DeepWeeb Does Marciana mean Martian in Portuguese ? I assumed it is kind of the Hispanic equivalent of the name Marcella/Marceline/Marcy. Which according to the internet the meaning of the name Marcy 'comes from the Latin name Marcius, and its meaning is related to Mars, the Roman god of war.'

U missed out. Show was funny back then 😂

​@@Blacknight6577 wdym was? It still is 😂😂😂

It's hard to find online now but truly recommend it 💀 early 2000s parody/satire of college football at its absolute finest. It would never air today but the level of awareness the writers had about misogyny and the perspective of the stereotype of college football is so good.

@@liz_loves_cats it actually came out in 2010 with the 00s comedy/humor

BMS is incredible!

The one where the guy throws dynamite and his dog brings it back was the one i remember the most

the one that stuck with me was people throwing rocks on the ground to break them and dying from inhaling rock dust

For some reason the one that stuck with me most was the one where a girl had a kink for.. “🤮”and she choked on something that a guy had thrown up on her.. I guess it stuck in my mind because it was so nasty.. Oh and the one where the girl’s implants blew up on the plane.. 💀

That show was so unhinged it could cut a freaking mountain in half.

Mine was the girl that had an orgasm on a motorcycle bc of the vibrations and fell off

fun fact: this was a real death that happened to someone. probably not exactly as portrayed in this show but still.

@@vantablack6288 By what I understand, the window didn't break, but it did come loose and fall out

@@screamingcactus1753yeah. he kept demonstrating with the same window and it weakened the frame. avoidable death :(

@@nikkey8951 yes !! my mom used to tell me this story a bunch as a kid, presumably so i wouldn't do the same thing (which. why would i), but yeah, i can't remember if it was a group of his students or new hires at his company, but this guy would run at the window in front of them to freak everyone out for a second before they'd realize the window didn't break. he'd then explain "they make windows really strong to avoid lawsuits" (i can't remember if his profession was legal or architectural). but yeah, it was a trick that only worked so many times before the window finally gave in.

This show + final destination 2 kicked off my lifelong anxiety disorder lmaoo

Oh the carrot one was terrible

Sounds like the showrunner's objective was "I must put together all the things men like," which... shows how low the showrunner's (and the network's) expectation of men was. (As for the middle school boys did end up liking it... idk I guess stereotypes exist for a reason.)

@@thejest69 I mean if my experiences are anything to go by, most middle school boys will watch anything that has a bunch of half naked women in it, so those demographics don't surprise me at all.

⁠@@fhey7903If by middle school boys you mean “all ages of men after puberty that like women” I 100% agree. 😂

In hindsight, a woman running the show actually makes sense as to why the show had such a stereotypical view of men

it makes it hilarious to me honestly like the show finally makes sense, there's a gag in Brookly 99 where the captain (who is gay) pretends to be straight during undercover missions and spends the whole time talking about boobs, ass and sex in the most direct and forced way possible to the point of making the other men feel uncomfortbale. this is like a tv show version of that

He's just like me fr

I read this comment right as he said it. Nothing is real

@@jasonnoregretes491 based

@@96bel96 Happens all the time. Can't explain it.

Dont gaslight me with two criminal offenses against pizza and one normal suggestion

I didn't have that channel, just Spike. Though, I didn't have a LOT of channels that you had on the mainland.

​@@InevitableOption-ic2vxninjas did not exist, so I mean, yeah you should have known it was going to be terribly innaccurate.

​@@SpecialistkayI guess Iga and Koga were results of centuries spanning continuous mass hallucinations, according to you.

@@InevitableOption-ic2vx To be fair, that would be how it would play out. I don't think anyone would know what a rajput was, but they had them win against the roman centurion. And they did navy seals vs spetznaz and surprisingly had the spetznaz win in spite of one of them being former military. So I think it's not the worst.

Peter John Robinson, aged 28, slipped while walking down his back door ramp to feed his cat, Piper. His mother, Gill Robinson, found him lying unconscious, facedown in 4cm of water in the plastic cat bowl. Coroner Peter Roselli found that Mr Robinson drowned after a significant head injury on July 5. Mrs Robinson said the ramp was covered in about 3cm of ice after a week of frosts. Sad.

The one that always stuck with over the years, for some random reason, is the skit with the terrorists setting a bomb. However, they died in the explosion due to forgetting about day light savings time😂. Just so damn stupid

Oh my glob, I had forgotten about the blood boiling rage I felt at that episode. I don't even remember the rest of the episode, but I remember how pissed off I was as a kid who didn't get objective testing

Overall while it's definitely my favorite Spike show and the only one I watched all the episodes of, it's about as accurate to history as Barney was to dinosaurs. William Wallace is very obviously based on Braveheart and Shaka Zulu his opponent was ripped from the Shaka TV drama from the 80s, not any actual historical figures that takes you know research and time. It's pretty much the same for every character. He also jokes a lot about the Green Berets losing but I just want to point out that's the only episode I can remember where the Americans lose. They sweep the competition every other time from the Rangers to Teddy Roosevelt.

Honestly, except that I'm not sure they were smart enough to think of this, it seems like they intentionally did stupid shit like that to spark greater discussion/debate/dumb arguments. I remember as a kid having tons of conversations with my friends driven by that kind of "mistake".

@@Salsmachev I'm guessing they did two different tests just because they thought it'd be boring to audiences if they did the same thing twice and really didn't think much beyond that

I remember that! I was so pissed at it too! I think it was American vs Russian grenades and the Russian grenade was put into the washing machine.

He goes so in-depth with Lost I don't feel like I need to watch it, but with this Spike stuff he goes just in-depth enough for me to watch to these insane things again to make sure they're actually real and he's not lying lol

Same tbh Just curious, but do you like final destination too cuz they have some overlap in goofy ways to die

It was one of my favorites for awhile, too. I'm definitely paranoid, but it's more from growing up within fundamentalist christianity, and dealing with the authoritarian, zero healthy boundaries parenting that shit produces and encourages. After about the third time of getting home to find your folks ransacked your room, and stole shit from you to throw it away, trust becomes a luxury you just can't afford.

Watch out for paper cuts

@@burninsherman1037 tmi

@@KingOfGaymes Final Destination goes more from horror to comedy the further u get in the series, the gymnast death is still one of the funniest things I ever seen in a movie

Yeah, I remember that one. They write almost all the stories so the guy who dies is an asshole... that wasn't one of them.

@@kazekamiha in another instance where the one person depicted in 1000 Ways to Die wasn’t acting like an asshole but still died anyways was this lady who was fly fishing and a fish flew into her mouth and asphyxiated due to the fish’s scales made it difficult for her to get the fish out of her throat.

Can't say I recall that one, but I just used to watch whichever ones I could find on youtube when I was 9 or so. The one I remember most vividly is definitely the Chainus... Shit was horrific

@@janegeland7596 I can see how it’s a horrific way to go. But my biggest question I had from watching KZfaq clips of that death that you mentioned was how the hell did the guy get a chain that went from his mouth to outside his butthole. I’d imagine that this a pretty invasive procedure to do.

@@juancerda-duran1824 I mean, I have some doubts as to the veracity of some of the stories. However, I imagine it's a fairly thin chain; and I'd assume you basically just swallow it, and let it pass its way through your guts and such? Couldn't tell you, though, I know nothing about it apart from the vague memory of that episode hahaha. Absolutely wild, nonetheless. But the only mention of that sort of piercing I can find is directly related to the episode, so I have a fair few doubts hahaha.

@@InevitableOption-ic2vx that name's familiar, was that the dark harvest guy or someone else?

@@InevitableOption-ic2vx oh right that guy

Chuck Palanuk author of Fight Club wrote a book called Guts which the title is in reference to dying that way. It's a pretty good book.

Wow, that is...Incredibly slimy holy shit.

​@@SpecialistkayI was gonna say I thought that was from Guts. I guess the idea has been around for a while

Do elaborate! Sounds interesting

That's a shame. I'd have loved to see all 1000 segments

Definitely my favorite of the shows. Honestly a lot of it holds up.

DON'T. GET. ELIMINATED!!!!

Same, I remeember watching MXC way back when i was young, and it took me a long time to rediscover it, let alone rediscover the original version I ended up having to search "japanese wipeout" to get the answers

Meanwhile, my boyfriend will be terrified of like told you that you’re gonna hurt yourself because the show.

i hope he talks about code monkeys

G4 wasnt masculine enough for beta bill to get triggered by.

Oh God yes. We need someone talking about the history of G4; when it was Tech TV, when it became G4, and G4's failed relaunch.

​@@Dragoncurse4You mean it's failed relaunch featuring Jirard "The Completionist" Khalil, which many people claimed he was the best part of it...

also, while i praise the show for having native american actors and addressing issues plaguing the modern native american community, it doesn't do it well. first off, the actress for their most prominent native character isn't even native, she's east asian lmao. secondly, even when native americans' concerns are played sympathetically, it still has an undercurrent of the white ranchers being like "yeah but. this is our land now ):" also it's hard to describe because its obviously not shown in a good light, but the sexual assault scenes are often more...sexy than traumatizing, if that makes sense. like i don't expect long shots of women being brutalized and screaming and crying, but id like their to be less horny gasps and focus on their legs, y'know? the show overall is very White Patriarchy in subtle ways. Like in the whole White Man Protect His Homestead and Family kind of way. which i guess its kinda expected since it plays very much into the hollywood of cowboys and cattlemen, which was already very whitewashed and painted in a very specific light by 1940s--1970s america (not that actual ranches where secret liberal paradises ofc but yknow what i mean; it was very different than what we think of today) tldr: its a complicated show about complicated people in complicated situations, but SO often it shows that the majority of the writers are white men

The word is losened.

1000 Ways to Die

the one where the girl had a quicksand pit in her backyard and sunk into it lives rent free in my head. i swear i've had so many joyous experiences that could have been committed to memory, but no. i get stuck remembering the death show instead.

I remember an episode where a woman gets a cut shaving her legs and dies of, like, a flesh-eating infection. One of those scarring childhood memories for me - up there with salad fingers

@@InevitableOption-ic2vxI forgot about that chastity belt until now. That did mess with me as a kid

I remember someone fell into a wood chipper, two guys suffocate from coco powder, the peeping Tom, and a woman dying from a carrot it a bad oriface

I know it was a 4 way tag title tlc match... Fuck wrestling is stupid and ik it's Kane and hurricane who were champs hurricane got attacked backstage so he wasn't in it who was in that match? I think they had a member of each of the og TLC teams with someone else like Christian and Benoit RVD and Jeff and bubba and spike that sounds right but I'm not sure

Then after Kane got called a necrophiliac and they came back from commercial to a diva's tag match..... Several things wrong with that. Why'd book a tag match immediately after the crazy 4 way tag they had? Yeah they need a piss break match and that's what all women's matches in 02 were but why not a singles and more importantly... THE FUCK HAPPENED TO KANE? HE JUST GOT ACCUSED OF HAVING SEX WITH A CORPSE BUT IT'S COMMERCIAL BETTER HEAD TO THE BACK let's what till next week to address this criminal accusation.
