Always a comedian Bert...Still have your slingshot?

@Goaltender Interference I think I would’ve gone for the dry suit, but if I could afford that I wouldn’t be sailing third class

You are all going to eat turds in purgatory! 😂

Do you reccommend? My family's considering going next summer.

@@roxiethecockapoo1138 Well... I'd bring some life jackets. It's definitely an exhilarating journey though :)

Oh my god. 😂

When the comments make me laugh more than a good comedy video!

Priceless 🤣 (unlike the jewelry)

At the ripe old age of 43.

Which is why it was so shocking when she was hit by an iceberg.

@@jeffrey.p.thornton 🤣

What was her experience like on the titanic?

Same!!! All four of my grandparents were also neither Titanic passengers nor crew, nor ever travelled on any ocean liner! I wish I had asked them more about their experiences not being on the Titanic when I was little.

Wow, same here! My great-granny was around in 1912, and she wasn't anywhere near the Titanic either! She never even saw the ocean, or an iceberg! But she did see a couple of decent shipwrecks on Lake Erie, because the Great Lakes are bastards and she lived near the shore her whole life, so close enough?

Ah, a fellow nerd! Lawrence Beesley had a rather interesting story. As you mentioned, he stayed on the side of the ship where men were allowed to board, and was allowed to board Lifeboat #13. When the boat hit the water, a discharge of water from Titanic's hull pushed it back to where another boat, #15, was being lowered right on top of it. Fortunately, the crew managed to cut the ropes holding #13 to the lifeboat davits just in time to get out of the way of #15. Beesley himself said that he would never again consider 13 an unlucky number, as it was #13 that saved his life.

I remember hearing in a documentary that 2nd class men were the least likely to survive because of 3 factors: 1) Women and children were put on lifeboats first, and 2nd class men were neither. 2) Men in 1st class were given priority due to their wealth. Some may have even paid to board a lifeboat, but 2nd class men didn't have the luxury to bribe anyone. 3) Men in 3rd class were more likely to be laborers, thus they had the strength to fight their way out of 3rd class and save themselves.

Those are really nice earrings!

@@LillyTheLonelySock Ah middleclass. Not rich enough nor string enough to be anything but middling

I wonder as well if third class men were less likely to pay respect to the ideas that first class men had any more right to a lifeboat than they themselves did and were willing to board one. Whereas 2nd class men may have felt more pressure to behave in a certain way believing it was the gentlemanly thing to do not realizing plenty of first class men weren't above saving their own skins. There is a certain level of caution associated with the middle classes vs the rich and poor who for different reasons are more likely to take risks. Just an amateur psychology analysis. It may also be that crew members were less likely to challenge upper class men vs 2nd class men. Some third class men may have been allowed to board because of their physical strength was needed for rowing.

I like how the year jumps forward with each diary entry 😛

@@jp9707 It is the Time Travelers version.

They knew there was a problem with the ship when it was announced that the Pineapple Upside Down Cake advertised for that night's dessert would be replaced by Pineapple Right Side Up Cake.

i just cant help but laugh bc she was writing her journal while the ship was sinking 😅

@@meer6848 And even while she’s in the lifeboat 🤣

Today we call that "coach".

Yeah!! 😅

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that!

@@calumwatt4360 I watch so much British TV and my ears are used to all sorts of British accents that I almost didn't notice... it was sort of a "Hey, wait... what?" moment and I went back and listened again. So smooth!

First class: Pessimist Second class: Realist Third class: Also Pessimist (there is no much Optimism in the Edwardian Era)

@@valentinmitterbauer4196 So...pretty much the same as modern day England?

@@guccideltaco No. In modern day England the first class is just _acting_ pessimistic. In reality, they're having the time of their lives. Ain't no better times than hard times to strike yourself some profit! (Given you already have the funds to do so, of course.)

@@lonestarr1490 Sounds typical (of 1st classes).

Forgot to mention that I really enjoy this site and comedy. She's all around lovely.

Well technically the Library on the Titanic became full of water so, I guess it all evens out in the end.

I remember as a kid growing up in the early 1970’s. My grandparents on one side called it the Reading Room, and the grandparents on my Mama’s side called it the Throne or the Throne Room.

As if 2nd class passengers can read...

@@protorhinocerator142 I m a sekconed passenger and I resnt that.

The ending with the American accent waxing into a Scottish accent with each cough was impressive.

@@gard0158 ~Most but not all Americans, Canadians, Irish, and Scots have the most (best) accurate pronunciations of English language words. ~But most of England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa have the least (worst) accurate pronunciations of English language words.

@@royjohnson465 Just curious, what do you mean by most or least accurate? I always assumed that pronunciations just vary according to accents and are therefore neutral

@@morwennaforatenner604 ~It is “not” at all important about the various English “accents” from different countries which is irrelevant. But “it is” most important to pronounce words properly correct being “most accurate” (mainly the Rhotic ‘R’) no matter regardless what the English “accent” is. ~The “Rhotic” varieties of the English language include South West England (Devon & Cornwall), Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and over 90% percent of United States (except for a small percentage in southern Maine, Boston, New York, & New Orleans). ~The “non-Rhotic” varieties include most of modern England (the funny thing is old England in the past use to have many, many more Rhotic speaker’s in more regions of England who pronounced “all R’s”.!!), Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. ~>Look up:: Rhoticity in English”most accurate”< Rhotic pronunciations. ~MOCK, POT, foma, dock, stot, (electric) shock, controvesy, caw (crow), baw (sheep), paw, runna, riva, numba, pefect, militree, territree, strawbree, raspbree, on and on, etc. are incorrect >”least accurate”< non-Rhotic pronunciations. ~There are other examples like some English speakers not pronouncing the H or T, but I do not have the space or time here to explain it all to you here. But I hope this answers your question and makes it a little more clear. ~If you are in Canada, Ireland, or Scotland then you are pronouncing the words correctly “most accurate”.!!

@@royjohnson465 So there's something other than hockey that we Canadians are actually among the best at? Cool!

Nah, I'd have been in 3rd class, and I'd have just died, because I'm poor and sickly. At least I'm honest about it.

Edwardian. Do try to keep up.

You’re talking about a popular trend. It’s not “basic” to do a popular trend.

The people doing these aren't basic, but I'm describing the baseline "victorian woman meets modern woman" as the basic version of this trend, whereas, Eleanor manages to do an interesting spin on it

@@matthewconnolly8628 I… don’t think this has anything to _do_ with the trend though. She always does historical skits like this

@@DeathnoteBB I'm just pointing out she is particularly skilled in thinking up creative historical scenarios

...permanently, despite the next traumatic experience already lurking around the corner.

Watch again and listen carefully! :D

I rather think she has two.

What kind of 'died'?

But which one is it 😮

I think she switches between British and Scottish mid-sentence unintentionally. That can happen if a person moves from one English-speaking-area to another around ages 10-13. That happened to 2 people I’ve met. It also happened to actress Anya Taylor Joy. You can hear Anya unintentionally switching if you watch her interviews. Also, Eleanor’s twitter bio says “comedian with a confusing accent.” So I think that means that she switches unintentionally for those reasons.

@@latronqui My college classmate had moved from the UK to the US at age 12 and explained how people find themselves switching accents mid-sentence later in life if they moved at that age. 4 years after graduating, I did a job interview with a lady switching accents. With little to lose and much to gain, I guessed if she had moved from the UK to the US at age 12 and she said age 10, noting how close my guess was. I got the job. Lol

​@@laurenconrad1799 Scotland is British, Yankoid.
