@@emetanti Not just the germans. Americans were high on morphine and opium i think. Turns out if your soldiers are high as fuck they do everything they are told. without much whining.
I like how level headed Iron Iron Man was during this conversation. Makes sense to me. As a man with a history od substancje abuse, he can understand better what cap is going through
I like how Thor is the one who says 'that's definitely cocaine'. He's an Asgardian, which means that to have such certain knowledge of cocaine he must have snorted it at some point in the past. Or, cocaine ended up finding its way to Asgard, and it became a huge problem.
You gotta love the implication that either they just gave Cap so much cocaine he survived in that ice for 70 years, or he was just like that from the very start.

I like how once Cap realizes he's been on coke all this time he comes to the conclusion that drugs are good and that kids should do drugs and hijacks the PSA.
It can also make you a Pryokenetic God with a White Hot Will that Burns with ecstasy. After all just look at SnowFlame The Cocaine Powered SuperVillan.
If world history has shown me anything it’s that winners don’t do drugs . . . Officially they hide tf out of it so the serfs can’t get any bright ideas

I love it that he goes from "No, they didn't just sell me drugs." to "do all the drugs! To be high is to feel like a god!" in about two seconds. I mean hey, who hasn't been there - hopefully the avengers help cap long enough so he doesn't have to sell the body of an american hero and convince him to stop - it can be done. But he is most definitely in the pre-contemplative stage.
I don't know, it sounds to me like he's already gotten past the "selling the body of an american hero" thing with what he's doing for those government officials.
I mean, either Dorkly or Collegehumor did a video like this a long time ago, but I'll be honest this one is much funnier and goes way harder with the joke. That one was mostly just everyone pointing out that Cap's a hypocrite to say not to do drugs because that's how he got his power.
Iron Man being silent for moment after Captain America said that telling kids that taking drugs gives spider senses is a lie, makes me believe that Captain America isn't the only one with special problems
Iron man said that, "the last thing we need is drug dealers telling kids that if they do heroine they'll have spidey senses ok?" Cap said, "well they wouldn't say that, that'd be lying." As if the drug dealers have a problem with lying.
It's actually funny that Cap was on drugs in a comic once. He accidentally came in contact with Meth (they called it Ice in the comic, but that's a real nickname for meth), and it bonded with the Super Soldier Serum in his blood and wouldn't wear off. They eventually had to give him a full on blood transfusion, and he lost his powers for a few issues. They made a whole character arc out if it. They gave him some new serum eventually, though.
Hank Pym had to bleed him dry before replacing it with the blood from his suspiciously full blood cabinet, why did Hank have a cabinet around the time he wasn't a superhero? That's a good question
Never been huge on Cap, but that book was sick as a kid. Cap going crazy on meth beating the living shit out of every living thing was amazing kinda cool commentary when you still could tell a good story in Marvel. I think he and Pym did have a discussion that basically the super soldier serum is a drug as well. Then Cap got off the steroid cycle on just to prove he doesn’t need to be on gear to be a super hero (they did put him back though, I think, he’s kinda old after all).
I've been making jokes about Captain America inadvertently influencing kids to do steroids ever since the first Captain America movie haha. Dude literally just got roided up and then took a shield to the warzone. Wasn't anything sci-fi or mysterious about it. "Hey kids, if you want to be like the Cap, just do drugs!"
Remember kids, That even if captain America doesn't shows any immediate effects, You might end up looking like Red Skull with just one use! It's different for everyone, but why risk it?
Gosh I never thought about the fact that some superheroes got their powers from drugs so the idea of them doing an anti drug thing is actually pretty funny
It's honestly not far from the truth, the US government did tons of insane shit back in the day. You know the chems in Fallout? Those are inspired by the US just giving people shit like meth for performance enhancement. Mentats are just straight up meth.
I can imagine Hulk and Banner having an internal discussion about whether they should tell Steve the truth or not and agreeing on something for once: "No."
If Snowflame is the supervillain powered by cocaine, it's only reasonable that there would exist a superhero powered by cocaine. That's just comic book logic 101.
@@Eidolon1andOnly All the more reason for a hero to be powered by coke. "See? You have a _villain_ powered by cocaine, we have a _hero_ powered by cocaine! Totally different and legally distinct!"
"or alternate forms of compensation" im imagining cartoon captain america giving a random coke dealer in some alleyway a sloppy and I cant think of the cap the same ever again.
My 2 favorite lines in this video: "Thor shut the fuck up" "Do em do em all double fist that shit if it's coke or whatever you'll be a super hero you'll be like me you'll be cool your friends will like you your family will love you you'll feel like a *GOOOOOOOOOOOOD-* "
Well, this is still pretty accurate to what happened. During WWII, pilots from either side of the conflict consumed anfetamines in order to improve their performance (there were even some advertisements). This, of course, blew them back since many of them ended up being addicts.
the problem was not so much addiction as them being used excessively to put off rest. just because you can keep a pilot awake for 3 days without sleep does not mean that pilots going to be in a state of mind he should be driveing, well anything let alone an aircraft
_"Every cell of my being _*_burns_*_ with white-hot ecstasy. _*_Cocaine_*_ is my god, and I am _*_the human instrument of its will!_*_ "_ - Snowflame, the best supervillain ever
I love the sneaked inclusion of Hulk blinking his eyes in disbelief at Cap at one point during a video of still frames. It's a fun lil blink or miss it easter egg
Tbh it genuinely makes me wonder how Solid JJ's version of Cap got his powers when instead of the serum he has been taking coke all this time. I've got a theory, Back then during the WW2 the govt operation *did* happen, Cap *did* get his powers from the serum, but after he was thawed out after decades, some drug dealers took advantage of Cap's unfamiliarity with the modern world to make him think that the drugs are actually some kind of new form of the super soldier serum and that he needs to get doses every once in a while, so this whole time he has been doing drugs when the drugs aren't even needed for his powers. And if you think Cap being *this* gullible is a stretch, that's the best I got, I think we can let this pass cuz it's a parody we are talking about
He did get special government coke initially, but the program was shut down following a scandal and cover up. Captain is on his own now, but it seems even street coke can sustain the effects if he keeps taking it. Maybe he has some special method of preparing the coke as well.
@@jeanremi8384 Oh, actually didnt know that 😅 But I think it can still work as in the dealers pretending that there was a scientific discovery that coke can help sustain the super serum
Since the US government approved the use of cocaine to treat headaches, the serum containing coke isn't even that farfetched... Cap being that gullible then, wouldn't be as farfetched either because he could know the original serum contained coke so dealers convincing him they were undercover agents the first few times would be plausible and once he was addicted he wouldn't even question it until the PSA incident... makes total sense. 😂
The best part is that Cocaine giving Captain America actual superpowers totally fits with the canon. Also people forget but Captain America was a test subject. There was a real chance he'd die.
Funny thing is if Cap was in the DC comics universe he could legitimately claim Cocaine gives you superpowers because there actually IS someone in that universe by the name of Snowflame who got powers from Cocaine.
The existence of a single character who gets superpowers from cocaine implies that there couĺd be millions of unknown latent superhumans who don't know their power because they haven't tried the right drug. Moral of the story: Try them all, you never know if it could be the key to unlocking your powers!
My old man overdosed last year. I hate that I can no longer enjoy cocaine-related humor without thinking about my beloved father's iconic blunder. Life's silly sometimes...
Batman: "First, find a reputable magician so that you can hold a proper séance. Do not, I repeat, *do not* hire a blond-haired Englishman named John Constantine. It never ends well...."
"Well ummm, let me try to explain the process. First I had to succumb to anti-torture training where they beat me. Then, they removed all of my clothing except my underwear and made me wade into a vat of chemicals that looked like they were boiling. Oh, once they locked me in this iron-maiden thing and soaked me with super serum. They told me that I was perfect for it because I had minimal negative traits that the serum would amplify such as aggression and greed, emotional things." "So like... mood swings?" Tony. "no, not like that, just, well, I wouldn't fly into a violent fit of rage or start trying to conquer the world and wouldn't go into depression... that sort of thing" cap. "So... super mood swings" Tony
I REALLY like some of the Pokemon ones: "You have to catch god. You have to put god in a ball." "That's your rival, my grandson. What's his name?" "Aren't you even just a little bit curious what it looks like when a pokemon dies?" Golden!
Plot Twist: Those really are undercover government agents, and the bills Cap pays with are specially marked ones they supply to Cap to ensure it’s actually him getting serum, and the alternative forms of compensation are special missions Cap does on their behalf.
So fun fact: there is a DC villain named Snowflame who got their powers directly through cocaine, and some marvel heroes like Cloak and Dagger both got theirs through drugs as well.
Well not from doing the Drugs themselves Tyrone and Tandy got kidnapped then got shot up their powers came after being experimented on so together they vowed to use their newfound powers against Drug related crime as Cloak and Dagger.
"Drug dealers wouldn't say that, that'd be lying!" imagine a drug dealer who's willing to sell heroin to kids but has enough moral fiber to not lie to their face about it
@@vortech0581 They had to give him a blood transfusion to fix it so he became a normal albeit still strong human it became a whole story arc but eventually he got back to his old self with a new copy of the serum.

When Cap was telling Falcon in The Winter Soldier "on your left", he wasn't talking about running past him, he was pointing out those undercover government soldiers who sell Cap his "super serum" and was offering Falcon the chance to gain special abilities....
