"Happy fifth birthday!" "But I'm fo-" "SHUT UP"

"But, cut that eight in half, and you get..." A circle? A snowball? A ball? "...the number four."

"What? You're pregnant? How did this happen?" "It was a...person-that was once a dolphin." nervous laughs. "Oh yeah, what were they wearing?" "A sting ray as a hat and cat fish for shoes." "Sounds legit."

"The devil can't touch oak. He has some sort of allergy, I believe" 🤣🤣🤣 This guy is funny.

I lived in Japan when I was twenty, and I can verify: 1-we were told not to knock on doors four times 2-I was trained early not to stick my chopsticks in the rice, anc 3-during the especially hot summer, I can't tell you how many times I was told I would die if I left my fan on all night. I left my fan on all night. It was over 40 degrees for a month! No way I was going to leave that fan off.

"Most of Eastern Asia is tetraphobic, meaning they're scared of 4." MISTA

him: cut that 8 in half and what do you get me: o him: the horrible number 4 me: oh yea that too

Fun superstition I learned about recently: Have you ever been driving around in the US, particularly Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, and seen a red, five-pointed star over the door of a barn? That started because of a cryptid known as the 'snollygoster' (Originally 'Schnell-Ghast', or 'fast ghost' in German). The beast was said to be frightened of the symbol, so the star was meant to protect the livestock.

"Every 7 years you renew yourself." Hmmm any one see a coincidence since your body replaces most if not all your cells every 7 years?

People are weird

“Except for 42 of course” He knows he’s messing with everyone

“Don’t sleep with a fan on” Me who sleeps with a fan right next to me because my aircon is getting old and breaking : 👁👄👁

Everyone i show your channel to starts reading it continuously... My school even banned your site even though it's all educational

The superstition about the evil eye is also a thing in Bulgaria an the rest of South-East Europe.

this dude without the mustache gives me a weird vibe

"snakes don't actually drink milk" *puts down the custom snake-feeding milk bottle I definitely didn't spend all day making*

I am an Indian and we definitely do not add 1 rupee to every round figure payment. Unfortunately the milk feeding to the snake is real (in rural areas).

Paraskevi = friday Dekatria = thirteen phobia = fear all from simple contemporary Greek translations. Paraskevidekatriaphobia

So my mother comes home from work and says there is $50 on the grass in the front yard. So I said “Did you pick it up?” She says no. I ask “Why not?” She says she doesn’t know. I say “Just go get it!” She says she doesn’t want to. Then I realized she was afraid to. Instead of thinking that the wind blew $50 into the yard she thought that it was like something malevolent, like it was cursed or someone dipped it in poison or acid or something. So I got up went out and picked up the money that was soaking wet from the sprinkler system. I could not believe that she was so superstitious. She’s from Trinidad where there are all kinds of weird superstitions🙄

As a russian I can confirm we are a very superstitious bunch. Some of our superstitions: - when you sweep your floor, always sweep towards the door to sweep negative energy out. - never hug or kiss a loved one through a door rim, especially if they're leaving the house as it suggests you/they will never return - we also have the evil eye thing, where someone can wish you bad luck by staring at you in a specific way. We don't have those stones to protect ourselves though - when you don't want something bad to happen, instead of just touching the wood, you spit over your left shoulder 3 times and knock on wood 3 times - never give someone an even number of flowers, as this is usually given at funerals I can't think of any more right now but there's loads

I sleep with a fan blowing directly onto my face, about 2 feet away from my face, every night (Have for around 12 years) and I'm still alive and in good health. Must not be too bad.

LOL, I always sleep with a fan on. Blocks out white noise and keeps my room cool. Done it all my life. Doesn't block out motorcycles and loud ass cars though. But South Korea and the fan thing, wow.

My lady bringing me hot wings signifies that she is indeed a keeper.

Im danish, never heard of the plate thing 😅 we jump “into” the new year by standing on something high like a chair 🤷🏽‍♀️

The evil eye myth also exists in Romania, Eastern Europe. The efects are similar, but the cure is different. Is more religious oriented.

My cypriot aunt was rumored to be good at getting rid of the evil eye -and my grandma rumored to be very good at *giving it*.

the one with Denmark is not true ;D born and still living in Denmark.. NEVER heard of it or seen it ;D maybe from old days but not for the past 25 years

Being from Germany I have never heard the superstition about saying "Prost" with water. In fact, I have done this pretty often as Im not a fan of alcohol and even seen many parents and done this myself with children (because they think the clinking together of the glasses while saying Prost is a fun game). Never have I ever heard anyone against that.

"By that logic, the number 8 would mean you will become a snowman." LOL XD I instantly liked this video

At first I thought that your name was 42 lol.

the fan part , i should be dead a 1000 times now

South korea going to sleep be like: *turns on fan* "I'm so c-cold, th-that I'm shivering"

It's not as scary when you know exactly what day your seventh son turns into a werewolf.

"Most of Asia is afraid of the number '4', as it is very similar to their word 4 death."

When I was in Turkey 24 years ago in my early youth I recall an elderly Turkish woman storming up to me and placing a nazar in my hand. Apparently she was convinced that I had a massive dark shadow around me and that this pendant would protect me(our holiday rep translated for us afterwards). It is a nazar but the eye was hanging from a silver chain and had red slik wrapping around the base and top of the eye. I still have it to this day and every now and then I take it out just to admire how ornate it is and how strange that encounter was. I was only a young boy at the time so I didn't think much of it. What was really bizarre though is that despite how ornate it is she wanted nothing in return from my parents or me. She just took my hand and placed it in my palm, looked me in the eyes and spoke something in Turkish which we later found out that she was telling me to never ever lose it or misplace it and that she felt that i needed to have it. Very strange encounter I must say and I never forgot about it. I still have the nazhar she gave me

Friday the 13 was the day the last of the Templar’s were executed.

Does anyone else hear "42" when he says "thoughty2" ???? is it just me?

One thing is to be scared of the number 4. But to think that you can make a tall building with no 4'th floor. That's impossible. Even if you call it the 5'th floor, it will still be the 4'th floor.

4:30 ma sha Allah, does not mean “appreciation” it means God has willed

I just stumbled upon this channel, and it’s weird seeing him without a mustache

Friday the 13th is usually good luck for me

ok i had to, sorry. Me: 4 Every Asian: IM CALLING THE COPS

I come from the year 2021 and, boy, do I have good news for your channel. Nah but seriously, I love that you got to do this for a living, love that you wrote a book, love that you continue to give us interesting stuff.

I was always told that the Friday the 13th thing started when the Knights Templar were slaughtered by Pope Clemet the 5th and King Phillip the 4th in the 12th Century on Friday the 13th...

It always sounds like he says "forty-two" instead of "thoughty 2"

"I may have just lost China" The face tho. I've been watching your vids for almost 2 hours so far for today itself. It's hard to stop. I hope you never stop Arron. You're funny and those quick savage insults/puns/sarcasm are brilliant.

i have slept w a fan on nearly every single night of my entire life. i have a really hard time sleeping w out one. i even bring one when i go camping😂

Asian: tells to turn of fan Me: turns on my Air conditioner

Paraskevidekatriaphobia Paraskevi (Παρασκευή)= Friday Dekatria (Δεκατρία) = Thirteen Here you have the explanation :P

I'm danish and the new year part around 10:47 is not a thing and never heard about it.

"What you need is a Nazar" Intense terraria flashbacks

i cant believe he hasn't had his beautiful mustache all his life

The way he read ‘mashhallah’, im dead XD

I'm going to have my 40th birthday in Eastern Asia so everyone at my party gets arrested.

SOMEONE HELP MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE Weird kid with spiders: my time to shine

The bad luck of breaking a mirror is having to clean up a broken mirror.

Nazar....? Oh god I'm getting terraria flashbacks

Spiders do have house fire abilities, though. I see one, it’s justifiable cause to have a flamethrower and risk burning my house down.

Glad I'm not mental and reassuring that, crazy maybe but not mental, lol! You rock Thoughty2

That eye the eye uncubiculus so delicate in emotions got me gazed

Weird fact is when you have ocd you relate almost everything with numbers, maybe the entire human species has it at some degree in our dna

hey 42 fucking love your channel!!!

Donald Duck's official birthday is Friday the 13th. Can't remember the month, but yup. Explains a lot. Lol

"because you're clearly mental," i almost pissed myself laughing as that was so unexpected !

*Crocodiles in Africa. There are only two Alligator species (of the genus Alligatoridae) the American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator. No alligators in Africa.. A minor point, I know. I'm just a picky biologist. 😅 Other than that, great info! 👍

Kill a lion by yourself to officially becoming a Man...... Sounds fair to me.

As someone who lives in a country without ANY superstitions at all, this video made me facepalm myself into enough brain-damage that i might actually end up BELIEVING some of these superstitions - _ -'...

What's really bad is when Friday the 13th falls on a Tuesday.

I was born on Friday the 13th fear me

Denmark: happy new year! *preceeds to dump a bag of broken stuff*

Holy Time Travel Thoughty2. I went from your video on Fusion (2020) to this. My oh My have you changed. Love the new look.

I was surprised I didn't hear the #8 relating to the infinity symbol.... And that's so odd about the #4 fear... It's a balanced number and usually I thought was looked at in a positive way... Unlike in America where they leave out the #13 on elevators... Us people are so odd sometimes lol

um gonna feed chicken wings to everyone I hate XD ...... they will fly away XD

"I may have lost china" You didn't have it in the first place

The fan death BS was so annoying growing up... My mom was terrified of me sleeping with a fan on... Also was sketched out about eating apples at night.

Number 4: throw plates at friends house for better luck Me 2020: well how has that worked out for you?

If you were to ever make another channel would it be called 41 or 43 ... Or thoughty2 2?

Heeeeyee! Foty-to here

Whenever the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon comes up I think about a friend of mine who told me how upset she was that every time she looked at the clock it was 9:11. I asked her, "So, you only look at the clock twice a day?"

WHY IS MY MANS IN A SUIT I DIDNT EXPECT THIS

6:50 thought it buffered for a second ahah

mashallah means "wow, god!" like the way you say "wow, geez!" but its said in a positive way, as if you're telling god what a good job he did on this person.

Also in Nigeria you can’t whistle at night because you don’t know who you would be calling

I'm Nigerian and I've never heard of the broom thing🤔🤷🏽‍♀️

"thanks for the view" im glad we all remember that this is youtube

December 2019 had FRIDAY 13th AND A FULL MOON on the same day. I can't make this up! lol

Being afraid of numbers had to be the most ridiculous phobia ever. Oh No, the number 4, agghhhhh!

The evil eye is a big thing in Sicily too. My aunts and uncles wore red or a gold horns to protect them From the “Malocchio”!

finally a full length vid :) thanks so much

As a Korean, there's one thing I want to clarify about these Korean online fan death rumors. Some people seem to think that nearly all the fans manufactured in Korea still come with timers attached due to Koreans still widely believing the myth. This is not because many of us still believe in a such ridiculous myth, but it is to save electricity while having a comfortable sleep. Korea can become boiling hot during summer, with the climate temperature soaring over 30 degrees (86 in fahrenheit). Yet, we have very limited source of electricity and high electricity bill, so we can't run the fan all night. As a resolution, we make the fans (or air conditionals too) with timers, so fans can be turned off automatically after we fall asleep to save electricity. The good old fan death myth was widely spread in Korea around from 80s up to as far as 90s, and some old people might still believe in it, but you'll be indeed likely to become a laughing stock in Korea these days if you believe in such myth or act like if people are still believing it. I'll say much more prevalent myth in Korea (or more like entire East Asia) which this video surprisingly didn't cover is writing in red ink. We East Asians are totally frantic about writing things in red, especially name or signature, because it is believed that such action will generate a curse. Especially, writing someone's name in red can be taken as wishing that person a death. It's so widely spread that if you write something with red ink, especially someone's name, on company documents, you'll get harshly scolded or even fired in the worst case.

Looking better than that lumberjack thing from before.

The Frequency Illusion is a real thing. You ever notice that it seems like everyone is driving a car just like yours but until you bought that car you never noticed them before.

Great transitions throughout the subjects. Nice to see. You have very well mannered communication skills and quality, well done

"Scared of four" sounds like a familiar italian gun slinger

Wow! This must be an old one! No ‘stach, no suspenders, no plaid shirt!

Watching this video four years later... Porto-moustache shadow there 😂

sir i just love how you show so much interest in the whole world cultures , shows howopenminded you are , and this also shows that my english is the worse of all times

I hope thoughty2 replies to this

10:38 i'm danish, and i've never heard of anyone doing that. That is one of the most wierd things i've ever heard.

I can’t be the only one that always hears “heeeyyy 42 here”
