We Watched ANCIENT ALIENS 

George actually cackling while his friends complain about drinks is something is didn't know I needed

“Imagine your job being to research things that don’t even exist” Theoretical physicists:

Imagine being a cave person just wanting to shit post some fanfic on a cave wall, and thousands of years later some "experts" site you as proof of aliens. I'd love my legacy.

Fun Fact: A lot of the time on this show when there's like a professor or actual credible academic, it's because that person didn't actually know what show they were going to be on and were just asked to talk about their field of study, then had what they said edited and used among all the crazies to make it seem like they also agree. Like, that Folklorist is probably just someone who studies and folklore and local legends and stuff from like a cultural perspective, and doesn't actually believe in like fuckin bigfoot and aliens and shit

When I was younger I remember watching this with my dad and I now realize just how fucking crazy this show is-

I want to imagine Aliens are just watching this show and being like, when the fuck did we do this?

My professor was on this show for one episode and he didn't even know that it was Ancient Aliens he was filming for. They lied to him and told him that it was for an educational program about mythology and folklore. They used everything he said out of context lol.

You should add "ancient astronaut theorists" to the drink list if you do this again. That phrase is their only source of proof.

Here's my theory about Ancient Aliens: it actually _is_ an educational program, as it teaches stoners and drunk people what NOT to do when researching history.

Jack’s background is really something. What a unique decorative choice of Amazon boxes everywhere.

‘the cummet’ is underrated comedy gold

Imagine dealing and raising a child up until adulthood just for them to become one of these people.

the fact that they looked at mayan carvings of dogs and lizards, a culture known for their extremely styled depictions of humans and animals, and said dinosaur is astounding. 10/10

It's an unspoken rule of Alien hunting that you never ever equip yourself with any quality camera and you must shake it as violently as possible while filming. Otherwise it's too easy for the government to edit the footage when you post it on the internet. Obviously

I love how their sources are just "trust me bro"

Can't wait for George to do this challenge while watching cloudy with a chance of meatballs, but everytime food drops from the sky you take a sip.

"There is no explanation for humans" honestly I think this on a daily basis

6:45 This reminds me of something my college professor said when talking about evolution. “Many think it’s survival of those who are strongest when it’s actually those who are most fit to survive in their habitat. Each species has different needs and roles in the environment and evolved to fit its environment best within their roles.” She went on to talk about camels ability to carry water as being more beneficial to the desert than standard horses and gazelles speed and agility to help outrun other gazelles in their herd and lions and such evolved to counter that by also being fast and stealthy. Good way to explain it looking back really. Like puzzle pieces with 100 ways to build it but the pieces that fit easiest get chosen instead of forcing it in when it doesn’t quite fit right.

this just reminded me how i used to watch this as a kid & just took it as fact because it was on the history channel 🙃

I'm pretty sure this is the show that has a scene where they found something from pyramids divides by pi and some random guy just said "what if they measured it with circles"

This show would actually make a pretty interesting Sci-fic series. Imagine a book series or TV show with the premise of this show. It's insane but, as a work of Sci-fi, it would be fun to watch.

“He should be spending the last few years of his pitiful little life…” “Fucking hell James!” I like that George doesn’t let his friends be TOO mean to the people they’re making fun of, he doesn’t let them attack them on a personal level

George: *makes funny jokes* Jack: *makes funny jokes* Kieran: *makes funny jokes* James: *intellectually points out and argues about points that the show gets wrong, while also making funny jokes*

I wrote a paper on this show in college and the man who originated the idea of ancient astronauts was just super racist. All his theories came from the idea that people of “non-European decent” would be incapable of such amazing architecture

start of the episode: aint it strange how monkey’s don’t build houses? middle or the episode: GOD AND THE DEVIL ARE ALIENS AND THEY PUT SNAKES IN YOUR DNA

46:36 "why are humans [relatively hairless, and] possess brains" can we just take a moment to think about the fact that removing the part of that quote in [square brackets] (and so ending up with a sentence containing only the second descriptor) results in "why are humans possess brains" I feel like that captures the vibe of this show perfectly XD

“Humans are unique because of their speech.” ‘Whales and dolphins water speaking to each other” 👁👄👁

Fun fact: There is a lot of overlap between the areas with furries and with big foot sightings, so big foot just being a furry is just as (if not more) likely than it being an alien

Matpat is more credible than an ancient astronaut theorist

"Why is it never a big hairy woman?" Ciaran is not the feminist we deserve, but the feminist we need.

Fun fact: The "T-Rexs had feathers" thing is an actual scientific theory, with actual evidence to support it.

If I saw something in the woods that looked like a Sasquatch I would think a gorilla escaped from a zoo before I actually think it is Sasquatch

Jack has no normal laugh if he is even slightly amused he laughs really hard and with his whole body

My dad religiously watches this show every night and genuinely believes everything they say.

this entire show just reminds me of that one guy in the owl house that was saying that "witches come from mars to harvest human teeth to power their time machine". its just funny how bad it is. also the dude with the long dark hair, phillip i think, looks like the discount version of weird al

I'm pretty sure these videos are just George's plan to destroy all of his friends livers.

One of my teachers goes on Ancient Aliens pretty regularly. In summary, he’s insane. He just got fired and possibly arrested for doing illegal drugs with some seniors.

People 4 thousand years ago: this guy lives outside our society and is quite large and hairy Ancient Aliens: HOLY SHIT BIGFOOT IS REAL

Video: *Shows a picture of a sky and solar deity.* Jack: FISH GOD

George might as well drank whenever someone blinked. I'm sure he would be less intoxicated at that point.

Them thinking university of chicago is only $9,000 is the most unrealistic thing in this whole video 😭

Alternate title: George develops a drinking problem while him and the lads watch aliens

Everyone says how George's friends are suffering, he has to watch it all, it's divided for the others

To quote Dean Winchester, "Every hunter worth his salt know that Bigfoot isn't real."

1:04:43 the guy who "found" the stones actually went back later and admitted that he drew them.

An "Um Actually" moment here - Although there have been studies and research into teaching animals, especially primates, to communicate in a human langauge (mostly through sign) it is theorised that they cannot understand any "language" formally. What they can do replicate individual words and associate those words to actions and events, but that alone isn't enough to constitute language, for example they may know signing "apple please" will lead to them getting given an apple by their keeper, but that doesn't prove that they actually understand what "apple" or "please" mean individually, or that they formed a sentence from a bank of words rather than just mimicing or repeating what they have been shown. However it may be that in asking chimps to speak human language we are more or less asking fish to climb trees. Most animals are not capable of communicating using human languages, but it's not like humans are able to communicate in, or even identify, the animal equivalent(s) of "language" either. But the way that we learn and form language does set us apart from other animals. Whether or not it was gifted to us by ancient aliens is another matter!

Everytime I watch this video I love how distressed James gets over them calling the dog drawing a dinosaur

You know they fucked up when even the dude who "found" the dinosaur stones confirmed they're fake like 5 years before the episode was made

8 minutes in and im already crying, This is gonna be good

Regarding the Soviet experiment, from what I remember he basically wanted to create a species that could take over the work of common laborers, the idea being that yes, it would be basically just a slightly more intelligent ape but that was all you needed to free up actual humans from working in factories and railroads and so on, basically they were supposed to take over low-skill hard labor intensive jobs. Obviously this didn't work out and it was pretty messed up but it's interesting to think about an alternative Soviet Union where all hard labor is done by half-monkey people.

Yes. Our ancestors DID see things they they tried to depict as Large monsters. The saw fossils of animals that had died millions of years before and tried to reassemble them with what knowledge they had of skeletons, not because they had seen living dinosaurs. Adrienne mayor has multiple books on this

As an American who has watched this show, it's single handedly the funniest and most enraging show ever.

Jack Manifold is a man of CULTURE for knowing about Invader Zim.

Can’t believe they’re doing the epic of Gilgamesh (the Sumerian tablets and Enkidu) like this. Genuinely a good read, pains me to see these madmen completely misinterpret it

I love that Jack and James make the same joke at 5:59 and 51:05

I love how you can just see the brain cells dying in Jacks head

You HAVE to watch Finding Bigfoot after this, these guys been looking for bigfoot for over 10 years, and have obviously found nothing, but this show is the dumbest thing you will ever see. It's hilarious Also, here are some examples for "drink words": 'Squatch Encounter Howl Knocking

obsessed with Jack being so fed up he just believes there's aliens now

Funfact the platypus was once considered to be a cryptid they thought the person who managed to capture one just sewn different animals together

“It’s pretty much all conspiracy” something an alien would say…

ancient Egyptians watching middle-aged men take their fairy tales seriously: 👁👄👁

I love when James watches shows/movies with George and Will.. he's so damn funny.

I watched this show when I was younger and some of the episodes had me dead convinced 😭

I was kinda expecting one of the episodes to be explaining why among us is real

jack is my fav guest on this channel, love him to bits

my favorite part about this series was that whenever they would claim something, they either had some random person there to validate themselves or they said 'Some people say'

George, you watch hop and every time they say candy you gotta drink. that would be a top tier video

I love how they don't take in the fact that whales, elephants, dolphins and ants can also communicate and have their own language.

There's a great 3-hour documentary debunking a lot of this stuff right here on RU-vid. It's both really interesting and informative. AND it has great music.

“Imagine your job being to research bullshit like shit that doesn’t exist” yeah I know that feeling I did a literature degree

12:14 "ITS IN THE GORILLAS!!" actually killed me off 🤣🤣

there's something so funnie about Jack Manifold yelling "IT'S IN THE GORILLAS"

George: h- All his mates: (sigh and clear their schedules so they can recover from the incoming hangovers)

The reason why most every Egyptian god and goddess had animal heads was because ancient Egyptians prescribed heavy religious significance to animals (particularly snakes, eagles, and scarab beetles). For example, Anubis - god of death and patron deity of the lost - has the head of a Jackal, a wild dog native to Northern Africa. Jackals are opportunistic carnivores. They were frequently spotted around dead bodies, and so were seen as a harbinger or manifestations of death. Same reason why crows and coyotes are often “the trickster” in Native American folklore. Because actual crows and coyotes like to steal shit and cause a ruckus.

0:44 "So if you want a part 2" Bro, your guests were clearly suffering

Pretty sure everything has helix-shaped DNA. Even the homeless elephants.

"Oh no, the Inkeedoo! it's eating me!" Spit out my water🤣

this video definitely wasn't made to hide the fact that Mr. George Memeulous is also an alien

‘You’re about as credible as ancient aliens’ is the best insult ever.

Everyone recording : I’m going to get so drunk Memeulous : having to drink for all of the episodes 💀💀

People when they will go to Mars in 2069. People:holy shit I'm on a different planet Jack : I'm going to chin a martian

I ADORE the Jack Manifold and George Memeulous duo. I need all of the duo name gang in a video at some point. Charlie Slimecicle, Harry Wroteshaw, Niki Nihachu All the double names. They are powerful and should be feared Feel free to comment more below and I’ll add them to the comment until we have a Masterlist Thank you To [Passing Oblivion] - Philza Minecraft [Izzy Hilton] - Ted Nivison

I'm not even British but hearing George making jokes about British cities still made me laugh.

"Imagine your job is researching stuff that is bullshit and doesn't exist" literally theoretical physicists punching the air rn

Plot twist: George is an alien, covering up for his people

My aunt believes absolutely everything on ancient aliens, she watches like every episode🤦🏼‍♀️

On this episode of George's descent into alcoholism

A few points About the last episode 1. the Mayans build there civilization near the impact of the asteroid - don’t They realize that Contents over millions of years have shifted 2. Do they think there was just an age were all the dinosaurs lived at the same times there was eras in the plant’s history’s and multiple eras of Dinos with multiple extinction events 3. The cave drawings it makes more sense that in the past humans saw Dino fossils in like cliffs and walls and then over time they were either destroyed by the people or by nature

Many social species other than hominids have _very_ complex languages. Orcas are able to coordinate intricate hunting strategies like bubble netting. Dolphins know they can get high off of pufferfish toxins. Elephants hold funerals for their dead, and will make a detour _every year_ to stop at a matriarch’s grave on their way to an ancestral watering hole, the knowledge of which has been passed down through numerous generations.

That Erik guy says Extra terrestrial I think more than anyone. If it was just him commentating on Ancient Aliens. You would be destroyed in 10 minutes of the show.

In the Old Testament, part of the backstory of Goliath is that some angels lusted over human women, and gave up their rightness with God to go down to the Earth to be with the women, and made this strange crossbreed of giant humans, and that's how people like Goliath came to be. If the people in this show were actually thinking, they could have tied the first two episodes together with that story.

I actually took a class in my college called mystery in history and sometimes we would have to watch ancient aliens and also learn about Bigfoot and genies that class lasted one semester but still pretty good. the textbook was like one cent it was just about supernatural stuff

This group is elite! Love the usual James, keep him forever. Ciaran is hilarious and Jack is fun, love it!

My biggest issue with any of these shows is that they ALWAYS tell us about their theories as if they are confirmed facts. "Bigfoot eats this", "they habitate in these areas", "this is what their mating call sound like".

Drinking level Cat in the hat: Easy Scooby Doo: Medium Garfield: Hard Ancient Aliens: Veteran

You should’ve taken a sip every time they contradict Bigfoot being less than 6 foot.

“Implies this was history” George the History channel, at least in the US, has shows like fucking American Pickers (a show about two guys looking for antiques) and Counting Cars (a car restoration show) ah yes, history at its finest

This was the shit my grandparents would put on during Christmas when I was like 5 and came to their house……watching this gives me a weirdly specific nostalgia

Hearing everything in Ancient Aliens sounds like something straight out of Gwyneth Paltrow's goop.

so excited to find out new human lore can’t believe satan created DNA
