I agree, I came here to comment that I am team copper egg but. I can't comment. I can only reply to someone else's comment and I don't understand why. I could have swore I commented on the last vid I watched, why can't I on this one?

For unnecessary context on the Mozart opera: the reason the title is Italian is because the text of most operas is not written by the composer but a librettist, and, in this case, the librettist for La clemenza di Tito was Caterino Mazzolà, who was Italian :)
I initially assumed that I was the only individual who found the sentence "Is that Austrian? That sounded Spanish" to be humorous. It is not my intention to disparage anyone; I am aware that my proficiency in the English language is not exemplary. However, I do believe that the act of confusing Spanish with Italian while simultaneously devising an entirely novel language for Austria requires a certain degree of expertise. Nevertheless, I continue to appreciate Tugg's content.

Many opera composers back then used an Italian libretto, even Georg Frederic Handel, the most famous British composer who actually wasn't even British. Handel's (sort of) contemporary Henry Purcell was an exception who wrote his operas (most notably Dido and Aeneas) in English, but few non-Brits know him since he died of pneumonia at age 36 when he stayed out too late partying with the guys in the orchestra after conducting a concert on a rainy London night and his wife locked him out of the house. Apparently the leeches and other treatments that were the height of medical science in 1695 couldn't save him.
My Dad has so much memorbilia from the 1964-1965 World’s Fair. His collection was estimated to be worth 12,000 USD. He never lets anyone see it, I don’t even know everything he has. He only has a few things out, like a mini globe-statue thing, pamphlets, mugs, plates, etc.
So many old people have super nice things but also refuse to let anyone see those things. It’s a weird af genre that somehow happens way more than you think.
Fun unnecessary history on Adolf Sax (because I wrote a paper on him and I need to use this knowledge somewhere): He was “a child condemned to misfortune,” (according to his own mother) and extremely accident-prone, including but not limited to: falling three floors and landing on his head, drinking a bowl of poisonous chemicals at age 3 thinking it was milk, being right next to a gunpowder explosion, sleeping in a room while newly varnished furniture was drying, and somehow falling unconscious into a river. In 1841, he had intended to debut the saxophone in the exhibition, but it was destroyed, allegedly, by a jealous competitor. When he moved to Paris in 1842, there was a mob of angry French instrument makers who were extremely against Sax’s success for some reason, writing angry articles, boycotting, and refusing to play if Sax’s instruments were included in the ensemble. Even after Sax secured a contract with the French military band in 1845, the mob (now known as the “United Association of Instrument Makers”) tried to sue Sax out of his success for the next two decades, causing him to declare bankruptcy three times in 1852, 1873, and 1877, leaving him to die in poverty in 1894

I enjoy the gags where Tugg says something and then looks up to be corrected by someone but we both know he’s alone in his apartment talking to himself. Ok the cat might be there.
My dad was unemployed (he’d recently finished his 3-year stint in the Army) when the World’s Fair was held in Queens, NY, so he went multiple times and served as a tour guide for out-of-town relatives and family from Sweden and Norway (3 of my grandparents were immigrants).
it also featured a serial killer! H.H.Holmes. Theres a video game about him called the Devil in me, and a book called the Devil in the White City. edit: just got to the point where he discusses this in the video
Five houses of the "Century of Progress" exhibit from the 1933 Chicago Worlds Fair are now on display in the Indiana Dunes National Park. One house, "the Cypress House" showed the durability of cypress wood. Another house, "the House of Tomorrow" is currently being restored. There is "the Florida House", a bright flamingo pink house; the "Ferro-Armco house", showing metal as a construction material; and "the Rostone House", showing an artificial stone-like material used in construction. Another building from that same fair was from the "Pioneer Village" exhibit. This building is a replica of the Old North Church of Paul Revere's lore. It is now a private residence in the town of Beverly Shores. All of these buildings were moved to Beverly Shores from Chicago by using barges on Lake Michigan.
William Mckinley that name haunts me daily...quite literally the only thing my city has to be "proud of" is being the birthplace of him. The library, some streets, and his childhood home are all named after him lol
So, about the incubators. If I'm remembering correctly, the doctor who invented them actually couldn't put them in hospitals because they were so new and unproven, hospitals and doctors weren't interested and thought they wouldn't work. He used the world's fair and a "side show" idea to help get publicity for them, prove they worked, and help families who needed to use them.
Two notes: First, all that was from memory of an episode of The Dollop and/or Mysteries at the Museum and I didn't fact check myself, so there could be something I missed or made up in that. Secondly, it's still fucked up and I don't think the doctor paid the families any of the profits (though he didn't charge them to use the incubators and I think used most if not all the profits to invest in the incubators and keep everything running)
10:40 an interesting fact about this, when Tesla passed away some people were sent to his estate on behalf of the military to consolidate his unfinished research. Chief among them was donald trumps uncle John trump, then a professor at MIT. He later became one of the pioneers of radiological medicine
@makeda6530 when I learned about humans being put in zoos, like the Bronx literally shook me so much. And the fact the education system only goes so far to talk about racism and slavery at surface level is insane to me.
They baby incurbation story is actually pretty interesting. Because eugenics was becoming increasingly popular at the time a lot of people were of the opinion of "if they weren't strong enought to live they won't pollute the genepool" which as we know is quite wrong. However through this exhibition the incubation technology was able to find funding and save the lives of countless children. Its a very fascinating story.
As a First Nations man, thank you for bringing up the human zoos and making that an important and respectful part of this video while simultaneously keeping the rest of the video as fun and light and comedic as possible. It is greatly appreciated. you did a wonderful job touching on the harder subjects with the weight and respect that they deserve, while balancing making the overall video entertaining and enjoyable to watch. We've been a big fan basically since day one, and will be here all the way! 😊 Great job on this video in general, and you're definitely falling into your stride of topics and video style.

I'm really glad he mentioned that, I had no idea. Makes sense that America would do something horrifically terrible looking back, but it was still shocking. The scary part is, it wasn't that long ago, in the grand scheme of things...
@@Ydubber777 Wasn't just an American thing. Many of those people came from European colonial possessions. Remember it was World's Fair, not the American Fair. Many nations committed atrocities.
On the pbs kids app there is "the monster at the end of this game" and Grover tries his best to stop the kid from progressing with cute little mini games. Its adorable.
The World's Faire is something I feel like I've always been vaguely aware of, but not im a concrete way where I realized that it's something that ever actually existed until now-
@@SoundExperiment123 Tesla was such an awesome dude. He invented so many cool things. Like a remote controlled toy boat. I'm just happy people are now using Tesla's designs and that he was right, and Edison was a fraud.
Tugg, I really wished you were my history teacher. You make it fun and everything you say make FUCKING SENSE!! I appreciate you educating me on things that my teachers couldn't.
It would be nice if teachers were allowed to teach, or even learn. They get taught the same lies and then get taught how to teach them. School is a government funded propaganda machine these days. The amount of things I've found out was a lie from the internet is astounding
My dad was at the Seattle world's fair. And fun fact...Elvis did a movie called "It happened at the World's Fair" at the same time, and apparently he is in the background while Elvis is singing or dancing. He was wearing a jacket his mom made for him, and I now have that jacket 😊 It's a special memory. I really enjoyed this vid Tugg. Except the fucked up deaths and shit lol 😂
First cryptids, now world's fairs... Tugg is slowly making his way through my list of things I'm low-key obsessed with. Now do the theremin and the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, please 🙏
Omg, I’m always so happy when Czech Republic is mentioned somewhere outside of Europe. as someone from Czechia who travels a lot, and always when someone asks where I’m from, they usually still remember us as Czechoslovakia So glad we got mentioned! Always enjoy these videos but this made my day
Every cinematic reference to the World Fair is f**king hilarious. “So the World Fair was just a cover up?” “Of course. Why else would we hold it in Queens?” - Agent K; Men in Black, 1997
@@scottw5253 yeah, but men in black is literally about aliens so they added that in. Have you seen it? I highly recommend it. The second one is trash but the first and third are good.
I’m on team bob’s burgers for pointing out and making a song about Eddison electrocuting the elephant Also along that line probs team Tesla for no animal murder
17:05 A lot of those buildings were just really cheaply made facades, the outsides looked nice but chances are it was probably mostly gypsum and particle board. The insides were mostly large empty rooms as well. Iirc most of them ended up just burning down eventually
You make learning fun. I have a really hard time reading or watching much educational content (I know this isn't exactly what you'd show your 9th graders in history class but I'm still learning), because I get distracted too easily or it doesn't even register in my head. But watching you is like listening to a friend info dump about something they love and honestly, that makes me pretty happy.
Abby, the beautiful void! Also, definitely am the guy who constantly makes sure to point out that Thomas Edison never invented a single thing in his life, rather, he conned inventors of their creations. He also actively worked to steal as many as he could. That's actually where Nikola Tesla's feud with him began, as well as when he became entirely solo and never once wrote down anything at all for any of his inventions or ideas. To keep it from conmen like Thomas, and from the Governments of the world, too, who even then proved they only interests they had in inventions was to exploit them as forms of profit and/or weapons to increase the damage and death tolls they caused in wars. Power and control. He was a immediate learner, thankfully. Furthermore, Thomas slowly electrocuted a Elephant to death at one of those two Chicago World's Fairs. I think it was the 1896 one.
Hell yes I am Team Tesla. Even wrote a essay about it in 6th grade. Tesla was a great man that was battling against a giant organization that was Edison. Tesla died in a hotel room. Tesla was a man ahead of his time
2:25 Austrian courts in the 18th century tended to see a mix of German and Italian cultures, so you tend a see a lot of Italian operas. Maybe it’s obvious to everyone and I’m just being silly, but I just find it an interesting topic to talk about
17:17 me, from Alaska: 😂 Not only did he get the largest mountain in the country named after him, which is now back to Mt. Denali, but we also had McKinley macs at our McDonald's. Like, they were bigger than the Big Mac, it was insane 🍔
little bit of historical background: leopold was austrian emperor (hungarian king too, but that was just a formal title), head of the habsburg empire. in the 18th century, austria (basically the leader of the empire) was still formally a part of germany which at the time was a loose trading union of different german speaking small states, although the habsburg empire's official language was latin (because it was multi-national unlike other parts of germany) salzburg is located in upper austria and it's the third biggest city of that country. bohemia, as you said is now part of the czech republic and it has always been ethnically czech, that's why they wanted to form their own country. bohemia used to be a part of austria. in the napoleonic wars, the french conquered it but austria got it back after only a few years.
Fun fact: the world expo is still active. The last one was in dubai october 2021 to march 2022. The next world expo will be held in Osaka, Kansai Japan from april ro october 2025
Fun fact about the Tesla Death Ray: it was a prank. When he died, one of his proprietors or something went through his patents to find the one for the death ray, only to find out that it specifically was designed to do...nothing.
The internet really was the final nail in the World's Fair. No wait. It was Gran Turismo on PlayStation. Once we could play cars from other countries in video games, it was over.
10:47 team tesla solely cause i am from the same geographic area as he was (im bosnian and he was croatian/serbian), which side note do you guys think he was croatian or serbian i hear people say different things, i think he was croatian
The World's Fair still exists, they have one every 5 years. 2020 was in Dubai, 2025 will be in Osaka, and 2030 will be in Saudi Arabia. I'm going to Osaka to attend next year.
NOOO, it's funny/amusing when you forget the lines and look at your screen! Honestly one of the little things that kept me watching at first. It's human and relatable!
