Quarter as Interesting: The Topics That Weren't Good Enough 

Happy HAI #100 day!!!!! Forgot to get me a gift? That's alright, I forgive you... as long as you submit a topic suggestion here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link Without patriots like you suggesting topics there, I'd have to spend literally minutes trying to find topics each week. Therefore, if we end up using your topic, you'll get a free HAI t-shirt shipped to your door, cave opening, hatch, or whatever opening your place of residence might have.

These subjects have one thing in common: they don't transition into aviation/logistics smoothly enough

Looking forward to "Eighth As Interesting" for all the topics that didn't make the cut for this video

Bricks aren't in the list. That can only mean we're getting a video about them.

You will never make more than 199 medium quality, slightly funny, slightly interesting videos on a nondescript grouping of subjects.

When we getting the episode about bricks?

>emu war >"not even half as interesting" Australian: *aggresive typing*

Half as Interesting: "We can't make a 5 minute long video about Emu War." Feature History: *makes a 7 minute long video about Emu War*

When you see HAI advertising a Sam O’Nella video: *Ah. I see you’re a man of culture as well.*

This guy has a list with topics that didn’t make the cut. This dude made a video about elevators.

He did it, by god he made 100 medium quality, slightly funny, slightly interesting videos on a nondescript grouping of subjects.

"We can't stretch these topics out to 5 minutes" Oversimplified's 10 mminute Emu War video: Am I a joke to you?

“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and probably Northern Ireland depending on when your watching this” Thinking ahead Noice

Can't wait for the Full Interesting, a whole movie about planes

That Sam O'Nella Academy shout out... EDIT: Tom Scott and the rest of the Technical Difficulties covered Ruth Belville on an episode of Citation Needed.

3:20 The ball dropped exactly at 6pm for me (I could hear the church bell) which was by far the coolest thing that happened to me today

Will there be a 100% as Interesting?

It’s impossible to make an interesting 5 minute video on the emu war. laughs in Oversimplified

You should make a 1/8 as interesting about what did not make the cut of a quarter as interesting.

tbh if my channel was a quarter as interesting as this quarter as interesting video, i'd be in good shape

A hundred videos: what a milestone. Congratulations, HAI! Looking forward to the next hundred. Cheers.

Some of the most bone chilling words ever spoken. “Decisive Emu Victory”

When he mentioned Sam O‘Nella I was so happy that channel is so good

When will One Eighth as Interesting come out? I know that Quarter as Interesting has just been released, but I’m already excited for its sequel

1:36 Also there's an OverSimplified video on it so go watch that!

Ah ha! I've found your secret. You just look through the Unusual Articles page on wikipedia until you find something half as interesting! All jokes aside great job Sam, everything you put out is honestly amazing and I wish you luck with continuing it!

Ruth Belville has been covered on Tom Scott’s channel in a game of Citation Needed. The electricity surge gets covered every year on some magazine TV show like The One Show

I would watch a wall if only he cracked his bad jokes

Can't wait for 1/8 and 1/16 as interesting.

I burst into laughter when you said, 4:00 "You could take the bridge like a boring, oatmeal-eating dude."

*You've come a long way* Your topics will always be 100% as interesting for me

When will Twice as Interesting be made? 🤔

Half as interesting thank you so much for you videos! Your dry humor gets me every time

The US having a civil war in another country, classic

Still waiting for the 'Storm Area 51' video. Oh, and the bricks video as requested.

Half as Interesting: Sorry I didn't make a video about the emu war. It wasn't interesting enough. Me: If oversimplified can do it why can't you?

Congratulations on 100th Videos. So many more hundreds to go! ❤️

I saw 10,000 Emus once. _They tied me up and killed my family_ What was I talking about again

4:48 "more south...like beyond the sofa on the porch kind of south"

"England's favorite hexagon" is the best gag in this video.

“Go watch Sam’o Nella’s video” I love this

That was the best transition into the sponsor ever. I have said that on hai videos before but this one...I had no idea where it was going. Keep up the good work and the funny transitions.

I was waiting for an episode on the Great Emu War

HAI: We couldn't stretch The Emu War to over 6 minutes Oversimplified, who made a 10 minute video on The Emu War: _am I a joke to you_

I am convicted that QAI should make up every 25th episode of HAI. 😍😍😍

HAI quotes from this video: "I will skin u alive lol" "Upside-Down Americans" "Anger tea" "Boring, oatmeal eating dude"

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that the Quarter as Interesting logo at 0:45 is actually legit good?

This looks like Wendover productions

I feel personally attacked by the "sofa on the porch" line. I'm going to go cool off on my porch now

Congratulations! Thanks for so many half as interesting videos, the comedy is well balanced and the information density is great

the bit about the civil war battle in brazil will be really helpful for my social studies project, i'm so glad i found this video!!

Great video! Quick tip - in Australia, an emu is pronounced “eem-you”

if he makes a quarter as interesting channel, It would be good for a quick watch like if you're on a 5 minute break or a toilet break

"Ah, shut up me." Goodness, I love you Sam.

The transitions are absolutely flawless; LEGEND

As a British person, I dont like tea and after a football match, you know, after the one you play with your feet, we all go drinking. We prefer Guinness or Fosters.

At 1:45, you forgot about cricket, rain, and cancelling cricket matches due to rain.

man, if only this was a semi-annual series

In reference to the tidal road in France, there's also one off the coast of Northumberland in England that temporarily connects Lindisfarne (colloquially known as Holy Island) to the mainland. The road is so long and the tides rise with such speed that there are safety huts spread across the road for anyone that gets stranded, the official policy from the local government is to just wait it out (barring stormy weather conditions).

that moment you realize when one of your favorite youtubers watches Sam O'Nella

HAI: "You can't possibly make 5 min video on Emu War." OverSimplified: "Hold my beer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BXpu6tbFCsI.html"

I remember his first episode and to see him come this is far is just amazing

The thing about kettles being the main source of TV pickup is a bit of a myth. The biggest source is surprisingly from the massive number of toilets being flushed simultaneously (because everyone had been holding it in till after the match/tv show finished), which requires water pumping stations to come online to maintain pressure in the water mains. Another source that outstrips the kettles is from the number of fridges being opened (presumably to get milk for the tea), which then warm up slightly resulting in the compressor kicking in to cool everything back down

HAI: These could never be made into a video Me: Challenge accepted

hai: *EMOOO* every Australian:

they should make more videos with scrapped ideas compressed into one video, damn you even already have the name of the series! Quarter as interesting

It’s nice to see fellow Sams looking out for each other

But where's Fully Interesting: The Topics That Were Too Good?

Talks about a causeway in France and references a religious being but didn’t mention the Holy Island causeway.

This should be a weekly series

I’m glad you plugged my boy Sam’s video about the emu war.

*Grrr, France is a PENTAGON!!! The south side is almost perfectly straight so it’s ONE side, and FIVE in total!!!* ::grumble:: ::grumble:: ::grumble::

I can't handle him saying 'e-moo', I'm out. Enjoy the vid guys

This needs to be a series.

Cant wait for the 1/8th as interesting series. Congrats on making 100 videos.

i love how sam just says 'emu' wrong XD its pronounced 'ee-mew'

At least this video wasn’t quarter as interesting...

From Wikipedia: TV pickups occur during breaks in popular television programmes and are a surge in demand caused by the flushing of toilets (leading to a surge at the pumping stations) and the opening of fridge doors by millions of people.[2] There is a common misconception that the number one driver of TV pickup is the boiling of kettles. In fact, this only creates a pull on the local network for a short period of time until the water has boiled, and can therefore be managed relatively easily, whereas flushing the toilet causes a longer surge at the water and sewerage pumping stations, and opening the refrigerator lets the chilled air escape, causing the compressor to run. These loads are more of a problem for the grid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m3WvQ8EGQho.html

I binged season 1 of extremities this week! I loved it!! Can’t wait for season 2!!

Also Emu is pronounced Ē-Mew, not E-Moo (which is how you pronounced it). Also, if you didn't know a long line above a letter means it's a long Sound.

Emu is pronounced eem-yew. Not ee-moo. *this isn't me being presciptivist of English, it's an Indigenous word.

This needs to be a regular thing! Ily

As a British person I can confirm that when a child is born they get a electric kettle. And we love tea and football (not soccer). After a game is finished we go and have a cup of tea.

0:20 I am just looking at the "Fact" that they got 100K likes for that comment

Hi

Whoa there are 100 of these already? Feels like just yesterday I was watching the Wendover video announcing this channel

Been watching since HAI #51 your the why Thursday is my favorite week

I did drive through Le Passage du Gois, and it's both fun and beautiful. There are many stories about cars that were trapped in the tide and lost to the sea

Loved the episode and felt it was too short. more like this please

This is the Technical Difficulties, but only Half as Interesting!

HAI: the Emu War cannot be stretched out into a 5 minute video. Oversimplified: Am I a joke to you?

It’s very important to mention the Emu war consisted of three men with 2 guns. That was it. That was the entire army. It lasted 6 days.

You could talk about the physics of paint drying and I'd still watch it and find it interesting (I'd also skip through the skillshare bit)

Now for the 1000 000 sub, WE WANT THIS BRICK VIDEO

Laughed more at this than any of your vids so far. Love this channel and your humour. From a tea drinking Brit.

You should look at Dinorwig Power Station -- it's a giant lake at the top of a mountain in wales that they pump water into to release huge emergency power when it's needed. One of the main uses that it gets is to specifically deal with Tea Time power surges.

That ad transition always gets me

You see, this is a perfect video to celebrate HAIs #100 video!!!

HAI : Stretching out the emu war to five minutes is impossible. Simple History : Hold my drink.

NEW RECORD Longest video made by Half as Interesting: 6 mins. 37 secs. You deserve an award!
