I think a couple of allies are joining in on that prayer as well considering the danger levels Edit: ok, because this was not taken the way I intended. Basically it was a funny jab at the marines who are so crazy they may 1. Cause unintentional collateral damage 2. Get done with Hamas and want some more 3. Have the marines attack indiscriminately cause their birthday ball was ruined. Basically it was "the allies are also praying not ot incur casualties because the marines went wild."
As a marine, taking away the ball is about to translate into a "proportional" response. Edit- I didn't think this would be such a popular comment. Lol. Yes, it's a fat electrician reference. If you haven't seen any of his videos,then you are wrong.
As well as every other fucking country in the world… Because most of them (I’d like to think around ehhh 97% of them) know you don’t b hit the FAFO button we have!!!
As a Floridian I support your portrayals. It should be understood that we get a lot of tourists. While we use this opportunity to get to know other cultures, a lesser known benefit is getting to know how to insult your opposition with the perfect level of ignorance to maximize offense. And we’re good at it too.
Georgia here, and surprisingly I can say they are not ignored at all and, most criminals in Camden are from Florida. Everyone here in Georgia will never ignore Florida. Forgetting Florida is impossible.
Former active marine and the ending hits big. We love our war fighting more than anything. When our ball is cancelled you know it’s for something more fun!
So the skit is basically saying that some marines have been deployed somewhere (say, Gaza or somewhere thereabouts) and they’re going to ruin some terrorists’ day?
Truth be told...there's tons of Polish communities here in Texas next to where I live. I'm half Polish myself. If Poland is ever invaded by Russia...well, let's just say that Russia would have a whole lot of very angry Texans showing up at their doorstep.
They do take their birthday to heart. My retired Marine makes me bake a big cake and decorate it with the Marine emblem. He loves to sing " Happy birthday to us. Happy birthday to us. Happy birthday Marine Corp. Happy birthday to us." And it's been going for 20 years. My family is Army. Add: I think he has done this for the last 20 years just to grind my gears.
you should make it look the exact same on the outside but just be green salad on the inside, one year... just to see what happens >:)! loool ( might want to have a real cake on standby tho, just in case he actually starts crying when he realizes it's just fancy salad. it's meant to be a joke but sometimes people end up heartbroken with these kids of jokes instead of laughing:P, fair warning and disclaimer! )😁😂
When an Army general who became the chief of staff says the words “The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle” it’s hard not to believe we are, in fact, the finest fighting force the world has ever seen. From the halls to the shores, my fellow Belleau Woodsmen.
I worked with the Marines in Afghanistan a couple of times. I've never seen a group of men so eager to get into a firefight. 😊 No better friend, no worse enemy, indeed.
During the Iraq war there was concern Marines were executing prisoners because so many bad guys were found with headshots. After an investigation it was discovered that these headshots were being delivered from well over 100yrds away and it was a headshot because that was all the enemy was displaying which was why so many people were getting their head turned into a canoe.
@@andrewstiegel9730which is a double win, because not only are the marines that accurate, but the US military is ethical enough to actually investigate reports. Ethical, and badass
@@themunificent7 Poland is an aggressive little Fucker just looking for an excuse to invoke Article 5. I *SERIOUSLY* doubt that *ANYONE* will be dumb enough to use it as a speed bump ever again.
I love how HLC is fully aware of the correct pronunciation of "Iran," yet his USA character doggedly sticks to I-RAN. It really encapsulates the character portrayal, separate and apart from the actor's natural inclinations.
GW Bush always mispronounced Iraq on purpose as a reminder that they weren’t even worth pronouncing right, just a repeated FU to Saddam, whose name GW also usually screwed up purposefully……
I posit that Iran is correct because thats their reply to every time they have been onvolved with the us in conflict....I saw the US warship fire . Then what happened? I ran
“Administrative scheduling purposes” 99.99% probably means that some is gonna get sent to hell very quickly because there are about to be a lot of very pissed off Marines about to do something that will make even the devil pee his pants
Poland is 100% my favorite character in these. He’s like that little dude that nobody fucks with because he acts like he can fight…….but also actually can. Love it. 🇵🇱 🇺🇸
Poland is an aggressive little Fucker just looking for an excuse to invoke Article 5. I *SERIOUSLY* doubt that *ANYONE* will be dumb enough to use it as a speed bump ever again.
After working alongside a bunch of poles, one a former Captain...yeah, I am so glad we are allies because I would hate to be a Russian in range of Polish soldiers.
@@ZananoQuinito "we are not a speed bump anymore, not even a spike strip, current conclusion from me woulb be - "concrete anti vechicle barricades with claymores strapped to them, like multiple layers"
My Dad (Army, Pearl Harbour then Guadalcanal) used to sing the Marines' Hymn. Whenever I see the words "From the halls of Montezuuuuu-uma" I think of him. Tanks for the memories!
I love how everyone instantly got nervous when they heard about the Marine Corps birthday ball getting canceled because they know exactly what’s going to happen if they have to go into any form of combat.
@@trailblazer632 Poland didn't exactly take part in the Great War. Well... Poles did. On *most* fronts, but Poland didn't exist. The land still remembers. We have WWI cementaries all around, the big fortresses are still there. And scars of WWII on top of them. Then the modern architecture. Just come and visit, Poles will welcome anyone with vodka and pierogi.
@aleksanderlenartowicz5659 my family is heavily polish and german. Ive heard many of the stories over the years. Im not at all surprised after the last 2 major wars poland is taking a more martial stance this time. As the sayjng goes, an armed society is a polite society. An unarmed country is prey. An armed country is at worst not worth the effort needed to take it.
I love how everyone starts sweating bullets when they learned the ball was canceled. Please, pretty please give us a bit about the Marine Corp learning/breaking the news.
"Let me at that fat sumbitch! I'ma swell his eyes closed the rest of the way!" Rare does a HLC video go by without me wheezing laughing so hard, and this one was no exception.
I am not a Marine, I am not even former/active military, but when I heard that the Marines (at least some of them) canceled their Birthday Ball, I clenched all sorts of muscles.... Godspeed you glorious Devil Dogs
I love how Poland was laughing when the other countries were freaking out like they were thinking “let’s get this party started” because they were thinking about what was about to happen.
Poland’s reaction is pure gold! Also, seriously, I never knew that becoming friends with a marine on social media would mean constant updates about how far away we are from Nov. 10th, but that’s literally the only reason I knew what was going on at the end there.
An old high school classmate is like that. Doesn't post much throughout the year but when November comes.....I'm getting constant notifications about him posting. Lol. He just retired from the Marine Corps after 20 years and still hasn't missed a beat
Okay after looking through the comments section here. I think I figured out what Marines love more than birthday parties. In the words of tierzoo. They absolutely *LOVE* sending people back to the character select screen
This whole thing was hilarious, but Poland laughing at the end was what sent me. Everyone else is like, "Oh no...." and Poland is just ready to throw hands.
I can't remember who said it but I still remember this take on the purpose of officers in the Marines vs the other US branches. In the other services, officers are there to issue orders and keep things running smoothly. In the Marines, the officers are there to keep the Marine enlisted somewhat in line with the Geneva convention.
@@fkreller1 They keep faffing about, it's gonna be come "It's never a warcrime the first time" time. With a side order of "See Canada, THIS is how you get in the record books."
Fat Electrician I'm thinking. Default Aggressive. He's speaking about grunts in general, but he does single Marines out either a bit later in that vid or in the Marine vid he did.
@@mesiroy1234It is the day the US marine corps was founded. It is VERY important to them. They only reason they cancel it is if they are at active war, or are about to go to war.
The Clue is in the name lol But yes its the celebration of the day and year the US Marine Corps was established. The USMC celebrates it every year with something called the Marine Corps Birthday Ball Its a celebration of history and tradition, one night where every rank is equal in their love of the Corp @@mesiroy1234
I couldn't join due to medical issues, but grew up in a Navy family. When Poland started laughing, I about lost it I was laughing so hard. I told my wife a few weeks ago that the Marines in CENTCOM canceled their birthday ball, even she knew that meant something serious was about to happen involving Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.
Bud, thank you for your content, videos... It's a source of pride, For anyone who has served, And the outloud laughter, Sometimes hurts my belly, But a civilian will never understand, I'm pushing 60.. Put me in cold, I'm still ready to... play. God honor and family
@@Jake1989dub1yeah I’m sure in 20 or so years the war on terror will cool down I mean it def did after iraq…. I mean Afghanistan…. I mean.. god when has this worked
@@blackwatertv7018 Only if there is a draft. Most young people do not agree with the "Lets kill everyone who isn't like us" mentality and view it as a boomer thing. So sure lets get those 40+ year olds in the army.
On a side note, it’s always so wholesome when Buff is on because every other plane and jet understands that Buff is the great grandfather of them all and they all treat him with respect, EVEN uncle same and the Military Industrial Complex. Always gotta respect your elders, especially when they have just as many nicknames as the Marine Corps and one of the nicknames is Buffy the Forehead Slayer!
Wait this reminds me of something. Didn’t, at one point in time, a marine unit had to be investigated for to many headshots and someone thought they were executing enemies?
Way back when at the dawn of time, in the valley of death where the sun don’t shine. The toughest fighter ever known was made, from an m16 and a live grenade. He was a mean lean fighting machine, who proudly bore the title of a US marine
Such a great channel - from its name to its satire ❤ (will show it to my dad when I visit next, he was a Navigator in B-52s in the 60-70s... Your BUFF bits are crazy spot on)
As a Dane some of us, remember the history of the shores of Tripoli, when barbery coast pirates raided the Faroe isles and the US responded by destroying them and Tripoli, much obliged
@@blakethegreatone2058 Oh, for the days when we didn't tolerate BS... Don't get me wrong; there was a LOT wrong with that time period, but this particular aspect of it is something we need to bring back.
We love Grandpa Buff. ❤😂 I like that f22 is like Buff’s son or grandson. It’s hilarious when f22 says, “would you intercept me?' I’d intercept me.” 😂🇺🇸🇺🇸
BUFF line about being in a really hairy situation with a playmate in the 1970"s. Pure gold. I fairly sure only those of us who remember the 1970's picked up on it.
You know... I have to ask, does the rest of the world actually understand the relevancy of the Marines, the birthday ball, and them cancelling it? I know we get it, but do they understand the gravity of the situation that would cause them to do that? That's a whole lot of concentrated "find out" that they're starting to play with at that point.
Well, the reactions in the portrayal were coming from Japan, Germany, Poland, and Canada. They were around during previous times such an occurrence happened, and the ones who panicked the most were formerly targets of such cancellations.
Everyone mentioned in this video has either been a victim of or an ally beside the Marines. All of them have a very intimate understanding of what will happen when our Professional War Crime Enthusiasts are denied their birthday crayons.
Most Americans won't understand that one. This channel's target audience will all get it, but nobody who isn't at least military-adjacent is likely to.
We Marines take our birthday VERY SERIOUSLY!! To finish his statement about their being only one thing Marines love more than our birthday....Showing the world why sending us into a combat zone should be a war crime...we love presenting souls to the Pearly Gates for Saint Peter to judge!!! Semper Fi!!!!!
The Marine Corps Birthday Bash isn't canceled, it's just being... _relocated._ Also, question: didn't the F-15 shoot down a satellite in the 80's, or was this missile higher up?
I was invited to the ball in 2012 by my girlfriend who has since passed, it's a bittersweet memory in some ways, but it was also the best damm party I've ever been to! It was really interesting looking around and thinking "if everything went to shit right now, like if someone lit off a nuke or a zombie plague hit or aliens landed, I'm in the best possible crowd to survive it!
I absolutely LOVE your views on, voices on & takes on all the different aspects.. :) As a 25 year Air Force vet I salute you sir! God speed and keep up the good fight! Job well done to date!!!
Pretty sure Grandpa Buff was about to tell the most epic story ever. I was in tears. So........some how, some way that story needs told. And God help the poor bastards who made the Marines cancel their birthday party.
NOTICE that when England broke the news about the Marine unit canceling their Birthday party, the first "oh, Shit!" came from Japan. Japan be like, "Yeah, we've seen THIS sho before. In fact, we were IN one of their previous shows. 80 YEARS later, and we're STILL having PTSD nightmares.
My favorite Marine birthday memory was in Nov '09, eight of us all bundled up in the back of a MaxxPro cutting a lemon-poppyseed poundcake and singing the Hymn before we rolled on with our AO patrol.
Perun's recent powerpoint has been a big help in providing context to current affairs. Iran almost exclusively deals in gray zone operations and proxy warfare these days because they've spent so much time under sanction that traditional means of projecting power simply aren't in the budget. On the other hand, their cheap basic missiles and drones oddly keep falling off of the back of trucks in Yemen and Gaza and Syria. Edit: Goddamn, 190+ likes? I was not expecting this to do numbers but it seems there's crossover between the two channels. Maybe one day HLC will reference Emutopia and Kiwiland.
Perun and Habit the combo we never knew we needed. A piece about air defense economics? The cost and sustainability of Hamas Rocketry? The Industrial War behind Hypersonics?
Oh dude Im going thru some crap. Sleeping in my van is the best I got going on right now. From there, it gets worse. So Ive been a little numb, just waiting for either WW3, Civil war 2, war of the worlds 1, A new Crusade, A race war, pole shift, AI taking over, Apophis slamming into us, Beatlejuise exploding and bathing us in cosmic rays, and when all these things happen at once, the Tribulation. So, I truly appreciate being able to still laugh. Thank you
israeli here, love your videos man, keep up the good work. The more political jokes, the better, and im feeling sorry for F22 that we engaged in space combat before him
