Children's stories from way back when were a lot grittier than we are now because kids were a lot less innocent. Think about it: kids saw executions as public entertainment, saw severed heads on spikes along the sides of bridges, overheard their parents having sex (people often lived in one room houses and the entire family slept in the same bed), saw animals and people giving birth, and were surrounded by death all the time. Kids were a lot less sheltered then. No wonder kids stories from the days of yore are so messed up

“We have an old hag who constantly swears! Isn’t that nice!” 😂😂😂

the three bears' home, food, & property: *exists* goldilocks: "it's free real estate-"

About "Suitable for children" I remembered a very popular song that I sang when I was a girl, called "Alicia va en el coche", and it's about a girl who is going to meet her parents in a car, her aunt fixes her hair with a crystal comb, and she has gold ornaments and glass orchids. The song ends by saying that Alicia was dead ... And she was being prepared to be taken to the cemetery and "meet her parents." And I used to sing it since I was 4 years old, and I just realized the meaning when I was 16 years old (even tho it clearly says "Alice is dead, they are going to bury her") . But unconsciously it prepared you for not to think of death as something sad.

The old lady was implied to be a witch. People back then thought witches could not burn and could not drown....

So Goldilocks is actually an old lady...better make that Silverlocks as she may have gray hair.

Her version was brutal, but I still can't help but to go "awww" over her taking the time to craft a book with ilustrations and everything for her nephew.

I know there was one version of Goldilocks where after seeing the bears she jumps out the window, gets caught by a tree branch then snaps her neck.

You forgot the most significant goldilocks story. The one with.... SOMEBODY TOUCH MY SPAGHET

*Fables/Fairy Tales Explained Ideas:* Hansel and Gretel Jack and Jill Mary, Mary Quite Contrary The Boy Who Cried Wolf The Tortoise and The Hare The Gingerbread Man The Golden Touch Little Red Riding Hood/ Litte Red Cap

Hmmm. The fact the old lady wouldn't burn or couldn't drown might even suggest she may have been a witch, since throwing people in deep water was one method of determining they were witches in medieval times.

You've talked about The Three Pigs, and now the Three Bears. If you now talk about Little Red Riding Hood, you'll have completed the trifecta of stories my grandma used to tell me.

Can you cover the messed up origins of Little Red Riding Hood?

The version I was something of a hybrid of the old versions and the new. The protagonist was a young blonde child, named Goldylocks, the bears were a family, named Father-Bear, Mother-Bear, and Young-Bear, and the tale was all from her point of view. She was always described as a rather unpleasant child, 'a little brat' was the phrase my father would use, and the story started with her watching the bears house, hidden from them by thick foliage, she entered the house as soon as they left. In the version I heard, the porridge bit and the chairs bit was always lumped together - with the chairs being set around the table -, Young-Bear's chair would collapse as soon as Goldilocks had finished the porridge. Plus, Goldylocks' complaints about the porridge were; Father-Bear's is too salty, and Mother-Bear's was too sweet, with Young-Bear's being 'just right' because it was a perfect balance between sweet and salty. Further, this whole section was extended as Goldylocks decided that, if she mixed Mother-Bear's and Father-Bear's porridge together, the resulting mix would be just like Young-Bear's, this worked and she ate the two other helpings - after which the chair broke, which was explained by Goldylocks' becoming to heavy for it after eating so much. Goldylocks would then go upstairs, in-order to sleep off her large meal, she would go through the 'too hard... too soft... just right' rigmarole with the beds and fall asleep in Young-Bear's bed. The bears would then return, and finds that they had been robbed, this would get them very angry. They would search for the intruder, Young-Bear crying for a bit after discovering that his chair had been broken, and, of course, find her in the bedroom. The bears, all of them having had their breakfasts stolen, would kill and eat Goldylocks - without waking her - cutting some of her flesh into strips and frying it for bacon - a meal which they found satisfying. They would also sell Goldylocks' clothes, and remaining meat, at the market; in order to pay for a new chair for Young-Bear. It seems the version I heard was a hybrid including some of the traits of the more modern version, the darkness of the older version, and a certain degree of creative license. I needn't add that this was my favourite story while growing up.

“Somebody toucha my spaghet” - Italian Bear 2017

When I heard the story, Goldilocks was a lost and hungry little girl and when the bears found her they were kind to her and let her live with them

Yay, what if he starts doing stories on the nursery song like, Ring around the Rosy😱

I also like with the Eleanor Muir version how the ending sticks with the rule of 3. 3 attempts to punish her until they get it “just right”

I heard that the three bears adopted Goldilocks and later on they became a crime family.

SOMEBODY TUCHA' MY SPAGGET' !!!

I would ❤️ to see all versions of the three bears.

I had a Goldilocks and the 3 bears book, but in it the ending was very different. The bears saw that it was a little girl and felt too sorry to eat her so they let her go. To their surprise she became very good friends with the son and was always welcome at their house.

The version I was raised with had a lost Goldilocks wandering for days, starving in the woods. She came across a house and priceded to help herself. The bears returned and felling sorry for her, took care of her. The End. I mentioned end this to a friend who said that's the same version shed heard. Maybe its a K.CMO thing

SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHET!

A few days ago I thought to myself "Man these Jon Solo video's are great. It's gonna SUCK ASS when he runs out of disney stories to explain......." and then I realized that you are now doing fables, too. It has made me very happy to imagine you'll be around for basically as long as you *want* to be, instead of simply running out of material.

Soo glad I found this channel, may the force be with you Darth Jon Solo!

Yes I'm so excited for the Fables Explained!

You should do one on jack jumping over a candle stick. I'd love to see where that one originated from and if there was more than one version. Also i love your videos.😍💖

I played to much of these and ruined my girlfriend and I’s relationship. I guess I’m now a solo solo cup ;)

I'm digging all the incarnations of Messed Up Origins! Wish I had discovered you much, much earlier than I did!

I appreciate all the research you put into every video

I was thinking about my version of goldilocks and the 3 bears, goldilocks came to the house because she's homeless after she ran away from her abusive mother, papa bear (peter bear) was a brave and strong bear, mama bear (mary bear) was a kind bear, baby bear (Benjamin bear) was a smart and clever bear, the 3 bears are retired mascots, at the end goldilocks's abusive mother was arrested, thanks to Benjamin bear, and goldilocks and the 3 bears lived happily ever after

Your a good youtuber creetings from the netherlands

love the setup!! can’t wait for more!! ♥️

when i was younger Goldilocks ended up befriending the bears after an apology. That is the reason i love your channel you never know what to expect.

Jon’s comedy is so underrated

Yeah, the "original" version I knew of was where the bears ate Goldilocks. I hadn't heard of the other versions until I watched this vid.

I'm glad I found you! So exciting. That is an accomplishment, since I get bored easily. Fascinating and I enjoy your story telling skills. Captured my attention! Congrats! Lol

I never ever get sick of any of your messed up things

Lovin this new series!! The Boy who cried wolf would be cool to see!

From a coloring book, I remember the ending being Goldilocks apologizing and going out to collect berries for the bears

Thank you for the fable origin videos they are my favorite 💕💕 I’m a dork who read a lot as a kid and love history so this is my happiness lol

Another wicked tale dissected. Thanks for sharing jon

"SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHET!!?""

Hello and thank you for doing the messed up series. I was wondering if you would do a messed up Origins of Red rose and Snow White it is one of my favorites and it is pretty messed up all by itself. I have asked before but i understand you have a lot of requests thanks again

Ive been watching a couple of your origin videos and just found it funny how each one i see you're in a whole new different place x"D

I seriously love these things! Keep on creepin on, Jon.

Thumbelina next

What happen to the old lady? Marv: Maybe she committed suicide... -Home Alone Reference-

Im inlove with this channel... literally can’t stop watching 😂🥺

I love this videos Jon and your presentation. Keep it up!

Jon, have you ever read the series of graphic novels, "Fables", by Bill Willingham? Not a request for a video or anything, but since story evolution is clearly a passion for you, you might really like the series if you haven't tried them. The books follow a hidden community of characters from fairy tales and nursery rhymes, long after they've escaped their war ravaged homelands, as they try to survive day to day in our real world. I highly recommend them to you or any fans of these videos. Your series title reminded me.

What about the version where the baby bear comes home alone and discovers Goldilocks and wants to give her a kiss, which she refuses, then Mama and Papa Bear come home and gets the wrong idea and forces Goldilocks to marry the Baby bear with a shotgun because they're good Christians. How about the story behind "Hansel and Gretel"?

I live for your content. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I hope that when you move to FL you blow up. You deserve nothing but happiness and success. Thank you so much everything you do!

Thanks for all the messed up content Jon. We ❤️u

Noticed the Florida tan! Another great video

My favourite thing about the Simpsons version is when she decides to pour the cold porridge into the hot porridge😂

This is a good series. I recently just started watching. Well edited. Well explained. Your voice isn't annoying. Good shit.

In Joseph Jacobs version called English Fairy tales, Goldilocks was more of a bratty delinquent then an innocent child. And how the story ends is when after she was spotted by the bears in their bed, she ran out the window and was never seen from again. She either fell and broke her neck or when she got home, she was whipped by her father.

"Kids need to prepare for this dark messed up world" - anyone before 1900

When I was a kid my dad told me that they ended up being friend after she said sorry

I always felt so bad for Baby Bear. He lost his food, his chair, and someone took his bed. Like poor guy.

Man I am so glad I found this channel!

Maybe goldilox was just following in her grandmother silverhairs footsteps

Papa Bear: Somebody touched ma spagett!!!!!!
