The "No making faces at dogs" law is probably just an extension of existing assault and provocation laws. If you make weird faces at a dog, it's likely to interpret that as a threat, so if the dog attacks you you can't claim that you didn't provoke it.
@@kerri6011 that was my first thought, but then I thought it'd be pretty progressive to make a law like this for SD handlers and SDs... I feel like people would only be concerned/moved enough if it was a public safety issue... But you never know! Since there's no information on it, I guess I assumed it's a very old law when people cared even less for disability rights.
Yeah, that or an extension of laws protecting wildlife from being harassed. I know there are a couple states that have "no harassing the wildlife" laws that have been taken to their most extreme interpretations in order to be added to lists of "weird laws". Dogs are animals and making faces can be a form of harassment so technically making faces at dogs is a violation of a law that says you cant harass animals.
even with that, outlawing making faces is stupid when you can just outlaw harassing dogs. i know there are people who'd gladly abuse that law to screw others over.
I can't believe Big Boss Man Nathan locked Jacob, Julia, and Karina out in the rain as punishment for doing crimes and they had to figure out how to record an episode out on the street.
My personal favorite pair of weird laws are between Minnesota and Winsconsin in regards to crossing their shared state line. You can't go from Minnesota to Wisconsin with a duck on your head, but you can't go from Wisconsin to Minnesota with more than 3 squirrels in your pants.
In Nebraska, it's illegal to hunt whales. There's also an honorary title that the governor can bestow: Admiral of the Nebraska Navy. Their job is "to protect and seek Nebraska's seas" (if you don't count the great lakes, nebraska is quadruple - I think - landlocked by states and provinces)
I believe it is illegal to hunt whales from your car in California, illegal to anchor your boat to the railroad tracks in Louisiana, and two from my home state: it is/was illegal to exit a fully functioning aircraft, and also illegal to whistle underwater, in Maine. Ones I'm not sure if the locations/animals are exactly correct, but there are laws like this: it is illegal to tie your giraffe to a fire hydrant in Michigan, and in Las Vegas, if you tie your elephant to a parking meter, you have to feed the meter as if it were a car. And somewhere in Southern New England, if a dentist accidentally removes the wrong tooth, the town blacksmith is to remove the same tooth from the dentist's mouth.
@hrodga that's a holdover from when "molest" just meant to bother. You should read some really old classic novels, some of the word meaning differences are *hysterical*.
@@danielled8665 Omg... I can think of one in particular that was frequently used in the Sherlock Holmes novels, now that you mention it. 🤣 Spoilers (for the word meaning, not for any story) below ACD frequently used a different word than we might for 'exclaimed': _"Watson, you're a genius!" Holmes ejaculated._ *Another one, referring to a standing structure: _A large erection rose before Sherlock._
I'm guessing the "don't make faces at dogs" law is because you can coerce a dog into attacking you by irritating it with aggressive expressions and then sue the owner.
Or, worse, get the dog killed for attacking someone. There are sadly monsters out there who are so petty and disgusting they'll purposely try to goad people's dogs into attacking so that the dog and therefore the person who loves it gets punished. Sometimes permanently.
okay but making a face at something generally requires you to stick your face at it, right? who'd try to get a dog to attack them while also making your face a target?
This video has some strong classic drawfee energy. Those full scene drawings of the most random and vexing situations are great. This prompt definitely needs a squeakquel.
I know this probably wasn't the intention, but the raised eyebrows on Jacob's crazy face guy gives it the look that this is the first time the dog's reacted violently, and face guy is just so surprised, but his face is stuck in that look because he's a little in shock.
First, As an Arizonian I have never heard about that law though that might be because donkeys are only allow in my house until 6:30 pm, so dk. Second, if you're in Arizona and love donkeys visit a town called Ottoman. A bunch of semi-feral ones roam the town but they are friendly to people who give them food.
All I can think about is that commercial with the couple holding hands, but they're both in different bathtubs, watching the sun. That's what the Mrs. and the donkey need to do.
I don’t know how I haven’t mentioned this, but I remember growing up and hearing over the course of time those zany wacky, fun facts, and they just be laws that we’re still technically laws that made absolutely no sense. Like no eating Icecreeam at the park or some shit A Cereal
15:49 so I actually had a couple of orange tabbies as a kid (brothers) and their names were garfield and tiger. Originally the one with the thicker stripes was named Garfield and the one thinner stripes was named Tiger but when registering them at the vet the vet got them mixed up and my parents refused to fix it so tiger became garfield and garfield became tiger. So basically Garfield WAS a Tiger lol
how about a spin off on this about weird laws that exist in Disney universes? like maybe that town in beauty in the beast puts out an ordinance on how many eggs you can buy at once, because of that one jerk who keeps eating four dozen of them
Suggestion Everyone chooses a beloved childhood cartoon character and has to make them sexy. I said this last episode but I would really love to see it
yes! one of my favorite rabbit holes is looking through weird obscure US law. in honor of this momentous day, have some from Wisconsin: it's illegal to serve margarine in restaurants/schools/prisons/hospitals, unless requested by the customer! And in the city of Wausau, it's illegal to "throw/shoot any object, arrow, stone, snowball, or other missile or projectile, by hand or by any other means, at any other person" and you cant throw anything "at, in or into any building, street, sidewalk, alley, highway, park, playground or other public place within the city." no throws about it!
If I had to guess, the 1st was to keep fools from having dogs snap them in the face, the 2nd was an especially affluent politician who loved striped suits, and the 3rd…was the folk song that united America during the summer of ‘71
My great grandparents have a donkey that guards their property. His name is Frito and he won't let any vehicle pass unless he gets his favorite treat (a nature valley crunchy granola bar) 🥰
So my mother used to practice law in Arizona, so I was going to ask her about the donkey law, but a quick google showed it was fake. In the same article debunking it though, there were a few other odd but real laws. A similar but real law actually states that it's a class 1 misdemeanor to intentionally trip an equine. Basically, you can bathe your donkey in your tub as late as you want, but god forbid you stick your foot out while it's walking by.
Damn I have most definitely watched more than a 100 drawfee videos but I'm unable to support them on patreon. Well I guess I'm excited to meet you in court XD
Day 135 asking that you do yourselves as Drag Queens, you could have Willie, Rock M. Sakura, Trixie Mattel, or other RU-vidr Queen as a guest, they could help you figure your drag names even
I already have some names tho: Nathan: Deyna Sorus Lie, Bea Rded Queen Karina: Miss Kaiba (or Kay Ba), Missa Nime Jacob: Yogui Queen, Anita Brake (Cause he's often stressed out or "bullied" by the rest) Julia: Background Queen, Terry Fying And ones that could apply to anyone: Drawfelia Arty Stiq Lady Draws Alot Thershas Tlikeas (They're just like us) Honey Sdem (Who needs 'em) Willow Javem (We all have 'em) They may not be the best, but it's a start
AITA for kicking my husband's donkey out of the tub after 7pm? For context, I (41F) and my husband (42M) live in Arizona. Our donkey (3M) sleeps in the tub most days, however, my husband and I had an agreement that after 7 was the Missus' tub time...
"Well, in Oklahoma it's illegal to 'make ugly faces at a dog' because it's seen as aggravating them, it can even land you a night in a jail cell!" - Apparently... lol
Wait, I'M from Oklahoma, and no one ever told me you can't make faces at a dog! (Sees a cute puppy, trying desperately to remain stoic) "Oh shit oh shit oh shit...!"
Fun fact: in Oklahoma it's illegal to fight a bear. How do I know? Apparently I'm related to the person who caused that law to be a thing. I don't know what caused the fight I just know it had something to do with the circus. Edit: I'm sorry to anyone who, for whatever reason, wants to fight a bear in Oklahoma.
this episode is very interesting as someone who moved from ohio to kansas (i used to live where the supernatural guys were from! never watched the show though)
All I can think is that prison suits used to be striped (according to looney toons) and so maybe people were throwing knives at prisioners when they were out working on the chain gangs and they were like, "Hey, we have to pay for their medical care, stop throwing knives at these prisioners." And people were like, well how are we supposed to know if they are prisioners or just guys in striped suits?" So they were like, NO throwing knives at ANYONE in striped suits, at least not any MEN, women are another story.
There is a law in Wilbur, WA that you can’t ride an ugly horse through town…..just putting that out there in case it inspires further equine law depictions 👀
While I can't speak for the specific laws mentioned here, a lot of "weird laws" in the US were engineered as thinly-veiled Jim Crow laws, silly laws used to lock up black people and rarely enforced around white people. This isn' the case for all weirds laws, but it certainly gives laws like "it's illegal to bother pigeons at the park" or "it's illegal to eat ice cream while driving" a much more sinister overtone.
Nathan's gone ! You know what that means! *Everyone in unanimous agreement changing* CRIME CRIME CRIME CRIME CRIME CRIME CRIME! (it's even funnier when you consider that in most intros they can't agree on anything)
I wanna see Nathan violate this law in the sequel, Even More Origins of Weirder Laws in America Challenge. Or the spinoff, Origins of the Weirdest Laws Around the Globe (International Laws Edition). Nathan doing the full civil disobedience!
Well damn, I was hoping they'd get the Louisiana law of "You can't tie your alligator up to a fire hydrants." It's from New Orleans and story goes there was a fire that broke out and the firemen couldn't access the fire hydrant cause there was a very pissed gator tied up to it. They had to go to the next fire hydrant much further away, which gave the fire time to spread to other houses.
@@daymuntaku6590 I imagine that that law already existed, and therefore the 'law' about alligators was likely brought up in court when the state prosecuted and therefore the specific ruling that alligators fall under that law is probably where it all started. Many of the "silly laws" people quote aren't like, submitted legislations. They're court rulings from legal altercations that usually end up elaborating on existing law and adding in weirdly specific addendums.
@@davidharshman7645 I mean they're originally from Kansas and in the later seasons they're based in Kansas, so I get her characterizing it as "taking place in Kansas" even if it's really all over the US (and didn't they go to Canada once??? why am I trying so hard to remember Supernatural?)
@@lavendargooms2056You’re right. I’m originally from Kansas and so a lot of my friends were obsessed with Supernatural because it take place in Kansas(I mean, also because it’s good too)
While Houdini did die from appendicitis that may or may not have been exacerbated by those blows to his stomach, he saw a doctor who told him of the appendicitis and advised him to have it out, but he refused and continued to perform despite being in pain. So he really died because he refused medical treatment so that he could perform. It is possible that he dismissed the severity of the appendicitis because of the blows, but ultimately it was the appendicitis that killed him. He died on Halloween.
As someone who went to school in Normal, IL, people make puns about the town name all the time. One year for the town festival, they gave out free shirts that said “I AM NORMAL” and I wear it to this day, to the confusion of everyone around me.
Drawing idea! One person describes something they remember watching/reading/playing as a kid but haven’t gone back to in a long time while another person tries to draw it based on the first person’s description. Kind of like Jacob drawing while Julia rants about Thumbelina, except it doesn’t have to be something you dislike, just don’t remember well.
i once lived in an apartment where it was illegal to mill grain! i was given official notice and everything when i moved in lmao, it was because of a local law from the 1800s that banned any wool or cotton mill building from also being used to mill any grain of any kind, and since the apartment building was once a wool mill, it still applied to us. i was very excited when i finally had an excuse to break an unenforced law from over 100 years ago.
The fact that airborne starch particles are extremely combustible probably also played a roll (it's why grain mills kept exploding back in the medieval era) so if you do decide to go through with it, be VERY careful and make sure there's no open flames or objects that could cause a spark nearby...
@@safaiaryu12These days you can buy an electric grain mill that's appropriately sized for individual use. Source: My mom has one for making rice flour. It's way cheaper than buying rice flour!
@@Amy_the_Lizard Mills have exploded reasonably frequently since too, several huge city fires in the past 100-150 years have been from exploding mills. It was apparently especially bad in the late 1800s and early 1900s I think. But yeah, the point is very true - it's super combustible.
New series idea. Bring back Drawfee Break, except this time it's breaking with tradition, where you do a speed drawing of something YOU WANT TO DRAW! You guys talk about not having time to draw something that you've been wanting to do. Julia mentioned a comic she had had on her mind. I wanna see Jacob working through anatomy stuff, Nathan doing Baldur gate inspired stuff, Karina doing more sincere fan art! Challenges are great and fun to watch, but some of my favorite stuff is when you guys are really really enjoying what your doing, something you care about. x
@@mewithyouu Their streams are great! But I think op is implying more render-based art, rather than sketches done in certain amount of time (so that everyone has a chance to draw). It’d be nice to see them complete pieces they’re really feeling and go all out on (or decompress with)
@@nemosomen Yes this. I rarely ever miss a stream but they are just sketches and line art. Awesome as they are, my favorite videos these days are the full render speed draws of just one person goin ham on something they love. Karina's recent multimedia fan art with the clay figures comes to mind.
It would even be cool to have mini episodes like this, with just one person at a time but everyone commenting. Then someone could make a compilation to put it all in one episode
I said in the crew's ranking stream that it would be the start of Nathan's villain arc, and honestly, his "Big Boss Man" persona is probably the most villainous arc I could imagine
Episode idea: Genre swap telephone! One person designs a character in a specific genre, they hand it off to the next person who does a genre swaped drawing of that character, then the next person draws it in another genre without seeing the first one. Sort of like the fursona telephone episode you did a little while ago.
I thought you said "gender swap telephone", which I imagined as one person drawing a gender-swapped version of a character, somebody drawing their character based on a description of the drawing, and the final person drawing a gender-swapped version of the second drawing.
I now realize that with my powers as an amateur blacksmith, I could probably make Jacob a decent cinquedea… It couldn’t be Italian, though, as I’m not Italian or in Italy. But, I could probably do hand gestures while forging it, which feels close enough?
i was just watching an old stream someone sent julia an anime sword and there were shemanigans , so you should probably green light that with them beforehand, just to be safe
