Berlin: Capital of the Cold War | Animated History 

What was your favorite joke, obvious or hidden? Also, don't forget to check out the rest of #ProjectMAD!

"I'm not hard to draw" Oversimplified: "Dude, uncool"

This video complements City Beautiful's video quite well.

8:49 Not so- fun fact: those very same West Berlin U-bahn trains that East Berliners would try to escape with in the 1960s still exist and are currently in service with Pyongyang Metro. How ironic

I was hooked on my 1st viewing, which was the King John video. Superbly written and animated even for youtube standards. Keep bringing history to life in our present day.

6:09 ok I love that joke. Its probably the voice that makes it better.

I like how u casually roasted oversimplified by saying Eisenhower wasn't hard to draw XD

Omg that "America go brrrrrr" line had me laughing so hard! Amazing job on this video, this is my new favorite style for animated history 😁

It's neat seeing history animated!

That mail plane joke caught me way off guard! Great work as always!

The wall was built so quickly there wasn't even any time for four shadows!

Here's a true story, youngsters. Berlin 1986. A young US Army Lt. gets stationed there as a Train Commander. The Train ran from W. Berlin to W. Germany and back again every night. The Lt.'s main job was to process travel documents face to face with Soviet Officers, so he traveled more and saw less than anyone, anywhere. Boring! Hundreds of documents to get a Soviet stamp and only about 10 minutes to do it every single night! Their studying the details just wasn't practical and since it was their demand it be done, the hero of our story would often slip through unauthorized train passengers. More than once Fred Flintstone and Mickey Mouse made the trip and their USSR stamped flag travel orders got used as a Poker antes, birthday gifts, and just fantastic souvenirs to anyone who had ever had to go through the hassle of getting a legitimate flag order in their name. And one time in Korea at the DMZ.... God, I miss being young, in the army, and the cold war.

I don't often shake my head at YT videos, but the «Male Plane» gag had me… 😣

I love the magical birthmark that switches position with the turn of a head. 🤯

9:40 Wow okay... (Also can confirm, everyone in Berlin loves Ampelmann. He‘s even on signals in former West Berlin now)

My APUSH teacher actually had a piece of the Berlin wall he brought out for us to touch (there's also a huge chunk by LACMA that you can touch)... something about being able to touch history makes it more real

How can you forget the important role of David Hasselhoff in the fall of the berlin wall.... 😢

Such high quality content. The animation, the acting, the knowledge, the humor. Everything on point. You deserve way more subs!

Talking about the 50s, my grandfather applied for a job in West Germany in the late 50s and at the interview they asked him: "You've got a job, you've got a home, you've got a family. Why do you want to leave? Why do you want to give up your safety? It'll be almost impossible for you to find a home here." So he (and his family - my family) stayed in East Germany. So why did my grandfather apply fpr the job in the first place? Becaue he wanted to go back to his hometown. His mother and his sister still lived there. But he decided to go back to the East, leaving his mother and sister behind, because he could provide for his own little family in the East and he did not want to risk this in the West. After the fall of the Wall, he found out, that one of his colleagues was a spy (Stasi) and that he got reported for applying for a job in the West.

6:00 “Not hard to draw.” Is that an oversimplified reference I see?

I really like that France is represented by a croissant instead of its actual president as the occupational zones were established. That little joke made my day. So thank you for that.

3:50 kind of says it all right there…. The “lesser” of two evils indeed.

This channel is so underrated! I hope you grow!

History, humor and amazing animation WHAT A PERFECT COMBO!!! Subscribing now

This collaboration is great. I'll be sure to watch the full thing

2 minutes in and i love it... can't wait for you to blow up like Oversimplified (noted the Eisenhower joke)... or History Matters!!! safe to say i subscribed

Finally a new video: A blessing from the Lord.

I loved that Bismarck was at the Brandenburg Gate Border Crossing. Great Video!

These videos are very good better than most animated videos and the clean transitions and comedy is very entertaining 😊

Wow this is literally the best channel I think I’ve ever found. This is really really really really really really really excellent stuff.

Oh great video, I'm thankful to project MAD I found this channel

We always watched your videos in my class and they would all get stuck in my head!! You’re AMAZINGGG!!

Charming and well made! It’s criminal how you have less than 10k, I’d be delighted to work with you someday :)

Mr terry history set me here, what a amazing RU-vid channel!

6:00 damn shots fired

Another historical hysterical video Gem, Thanks!

Subbed. This is just amazing

This was great! Good mix of history and jokes

This channel's style, humour etc. reeks of a really familiar scent And i love it even more

Those are crazy days all I remember is David Hasselhoff singing and then all of a sudden walking down.

Animated history is the best ngl I love history as it is but animated its like oml😂😂 I'm waiting for this man to hit 100k then 1 mil this man is gonna get big I swear🙏🙏

Yay been looking forward to this 💖

The "Local 58" drop is amazing

Of all the animated history channels, this one has the best voice acting.

Dude this is awesome. It kept me engaged and my step kids. Ill admit i am a history nut but my kids couldn’t care less. They watched this and was laughing at the joke

You left out an old joke involving Berlin and Bananas. Q: How do you use a banana as a compass? A: Put it on the Berlin wall, the side with the bite is East.

Another awesome video from one of my favourite history RU-vidrs. I don’t know if you take requests but could you possibly make a video about the Paraguayan War (A.K.A. War of the Triple Alliance) please? It’s usually hard to find videos on Latin American history in English. Thank you. (P.S., is that Mr. Beat driving a car in the background at 0:04?)

I love the shot at history oversimplified with the “my face is not hard to draw” haha

great video!

Thank you this is amazing Mr Betts Will you ever make any more parodies?

I looked at my subscription and it was just flooded with cold war vids! what an interesting friday

9:42 made me chuckle too.

Keep at it boys! RU-vid recommend your channel to me and I loved it instantly. Can’t wait to watch it grow with you.

I just found your other channel today, and got worried when I seen you last uploaded 1 year ago

Well, you are a unique find in this playlist

WTF!? Why doesnt this guy have more subs???? THESE VIDEOS ARE GREAT

Dude my face went numb from how much of a happy ending

Well done. Humorous!

@ 10:52 one of the most underrated lines😂. True story When Ronald Reagan ran for Governor of California in 1966, he began eating "Goelitz Mini Jelly Beans" as part of his successful attempt to give up pipe smoking.

YOOOO NEW VID HELL YEAH

My teacher would play your videos everyday in class and you’re the only reason I passed American history II thank you :))

Yay another video!

Hadn't heard the shenanigans regarding currency triggering the blockade before.

Les go another vid yessir

nice detailed artstyle quite Rubenesque

know I’m late but another great episode like banana

I love this channel its so funny

Oh this is going to be good!!!!

6:01 "I'm Not Hard to Draw" ah yes oversimplified

Yay new video

So far the best video from project MAD. So far it’s been quite disappointing

Nice

Incredible video, little funfact the planes u mentioned are called in german ´´Rosinenbomber´´. They never actually landed on german soil. The allies flew over them to drop boxes with supplies, food and for the children ,raisins. That´s where they got their name from. Plus there is a monument when u exit the U-Bahnstation ´´Platz der Luftbrücke´´.

6:02 THE KNOCK SCARED ME TO DEATH

France Baguette🇫🇷😂✅ Great Video 1:37

A video about the Yugoslavian Wars would be nice

The monty python sounds at the start did it for me!

Yo I love the local 58 reference

The RU-vid algorithm should definitely recommend this to more people

Sorry, but are only the second sexiest RU-vidr in that collaboration. Mr. Beat's guns are undeniable…

Clicked faster than my Xbox 360 can even load up

1:56 oh no they turn charles de gaule into a croissant!

Sub due to Mr. Beat... well done.

Churchill's accent! Genius

7:58 Did anyone else have Papers,Please flashbacks

My grandparents lived under Stalin. They experienced his steel grip firsthand, despite not being members of the Party or involved in the government when he was alive. My paternal grandfather was eighteen years old when Stalin died. 32 years later, he experienced the rise of Gorbachev, and it was only then that he realized that life HAS become better thanks to Perestroika, Glasnost, and Demokratiya. Khrushchev's De-Stalinization was able to shake the idea of Stalin being a god, but it was only in 1987 that my grandparents realized that Stalin was no god.

FWIU the problem with bananas wasn't that the Eastern Bloc couldn't get them, they're grown in Nicaragua and Cuba, but that their supply chains couldn't get them into consumers' hands in time before they spoiled.

I started laughing so hard at "I guess I will go check on French Indochina?" that I had to stop the video...

6:00 is that "I'm not hard to draw" sign a reference to Oversimplified?

Pretty sure Mr Beat & The Cynical Historian are the same guy, just different glasses

Mr bet, my teacher used to put ur videos in class

4:58 The Russian Civil War: Am I a joke to you?

I'm a simple man. I hear a Three Amigo's joke, I hit like.

Nice a new video hope y’all like it I I think it’s great

Auf wiedersehen! Schnitzel! 😆

I learned more here than in school

If you think over on a TP roll is smart, then you have never had kids or a pet unroll a whole roll of TP. Under is far batter.

I remember watching that when it happened…my mom was born in Germany at the end of the war…so we had family in what would become West Germany…when they gave that confused press release from the east…it just exploded … communism in Europe was already finished although the transition is still an ongoing struggle…

"A game you play forever and still have no-one win" Cricket has entered the chat

4:55 kind of makes you question what humanity could do if they stopped for a moment and questioned anything about the events of the 20th century. Inarguably the worst century in history.
