Thanks! *And note, the author of the red-head part (Daven) is allowed to make these jokes as he has two half-breed daughters whose mother is a redhead and was largely the inspiration for said jokes (and also she found this one hilarious). :-)
l am scared let me go hid some where on the last part.....One no two of my 5 wife's had....Read hair sometimes....l am stilling hiding from them....Red hair = hell...!
Edit: changed Simon to Daven as guilty party Uv earned my 1st dislike, DAVEN! The ONLY reason I've not unsubscribed fm all of ur channels is bc Simon pointed out that he didn't write this ignorant, dark ages' slander!
My wife is one of those partial redheads: light skinned auburn haired woman that insist that in the sun she is the richest of RED. And now I can inform her she isn't evil enough to qualify.
I was that way too, as a child. My hair doesn't turn red in the sun anymore, but then again, I don't typically spend hours on end outdoors anymore, either.
@@ДжонПартлов How do you pronounce your name in english? Looks interesting, just don't understand the second symbol. [Sorry, I live in New Zealland, is it Russian?]
Funny enough my family is full of redheads, including me, and some of my relatives are the direct descendants of Dracula, Vlad the Impaler himself. My niece (direct descent) at 4 yrs old told my sister she was going to burn the house down with the rest of the family still in it so she could watch their skin melt off their bones...and my sister is SUPER religious which made that much better for me!🥰
This video really pushed Simon's professionalism. I don't think the writers have anything against redheads, they just wanted to make Simon do a double take and maybe break down into hysterical giggles the same way all of us did.
Being a human biologist, I can tell you that the implications of having the MC1 polymorphism which causes red hair and fair skin is still studied. It is widely known that people with pail skin are at highest risk of developing skin cancer. Of course, a smaller protection against UV light is partially responsible for this. However, right now it seems like the high production of pheomelanin in people with fair skin also directly produces molecules which damage DNA, thereby contributing towards the formation of cancer (would love to make a video about that!). We can still learn a lot about the human body!
As a redhead, I can confirm that everything you said is correct. The only thing worse than red hair though is a person with no hair at all. Nosferatu was of course bald. So though we redheads may indeed be vampires at times, we have that in common with you, Simon.
As a person with red hair, I found this incredibly offensive, fantastically funny, and also super informative both scientifically and to people’s opinions about my daywalking kin. 😢 #redheadrights #satanspawnsubjugation
ginger here, Not offended at all, i think it super funny. I been hearing these stories since i was a kid. Doesn't bother me at all. I get these questions all the time and i think it's hilarious 🤣. A coworker actually thought we were going extinct and he truly believed that. We are not going extinct actually you can see more gingers nowadays, it actually feels awkward having more than one ginger in the room. 😂
I've never heard that this was evil lol My red haired friends are cool. I always envied my beautiful school friend with her long, thick, red hair, green eyes and freckles. That makes the rest of us pretty average.
@Tooth less dude we were all bullied when we were kids its being a part of a ginger, i got called so many names, mozzarella boy, Margherita pizza, carrot, bell pepper in the summer or even lobster kid (just cuz i used to get burn in the sun and turn red) all those name calling did bother me a little when i was a kid, but now i couldn't care less of it, i actually laugh with them. 😆
I'm so confused how this went from why people have red hair to a Vlad the impaler video lmao I had to check like 3 times to make sure the video didn't change cuz I was like...wtf is happening
It's gross that people do this. It's genetically different and there are big medical differences, literally affects us medically/genetically - just like skin colour, but you don't see people getting offended for faking their hair.
Then he should have done it privately. In the public venue of RU-vid it is both slander & libel (verbal & printed disparagement of specific group, overlapping into racism). The channel has blown off all our reasonable objections. Pls join us in disliking & reporting this video as Hateful/Abusive Ty.
@@merryc.5466 wow the writing is a joke, im a ginger and didnt get my pants in a twist. If you report it then you are waisting youtubes time to actually stop bullying and harassment.....if you dont like it just click away
@Merry C. Oh, don’t worry, we will have the last laugh. The hairless one will soon discover the consequences of angering the massed spawn of Satan. We just need to order enough sunblock first.
@@merryc.5466 I believe it was with the writers wife, whom he is, presumably, very fond of. As a redhead, I can only advise developing a thicker skin and using the words to describe us yourself. It's wonderfully powerful when this kind of ribbing no longer sparks anger.
@@KatherineRoseArt I choose to think that I have a soul for every freckle. At least that's what I tell people who tell me I'm soulless. Not what I really believe but how I like to mess with people being mean to me. Then I kind of asked them if they would like to become a new freckle. Cause I collect souls.
@Tooth less my first best friend ruined me. He had fiery red hair, we were 4, & I adored him. I think I inadvertently connected my love for him with red hair because I was 4, & it was an extremely distinguishing feature. He was the only redhead I knew for years. This could be total bullshit, but it's as good of a theory as any. 🤷♀️
You're just jealous that you weren't born a high functioning sociopath, dangerous enough at a base level that God/Nature decided it was necessary to warn lesser beings off via the same method used by other poisonous/venomous lifeforms.
There is a book, Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins, that described redheads being made of sugar and lust. Painted my fondness for the sweet passion of redheads since I read it. May the gods have mercy on my soul, because the redheads will exhaust me. My love of redheads proves I not only flirt with Death, I invite her over for Netflix and Chill. XD Love the script. Anytime Simon is paralyzed with confused laughter makes these fun
Though a blond, I had a ginger beard in youth. I regret that beards were not fashionable back then and I never grew it, and now the red is grey. Oh well, there's always henna. Ginger hair with blue/green eyes is a colour match made in heaven.
I love red hair. I'm marrying a man who had red hair (I'd bald now) and if our spawn does not come out with red hair we're shoving it back in and starting again
I sincerely hope for your sake you are either red headed yourself or a carrier like me to where you will have one have one hundred percent red heads or at least a fifty fifty chance because shoving a baby back in will hurt probably worse then pushing the kid out to begin with.
When I was ready to get married I started dating only redheads. Needless to say my wife is a VERY attractive redhead. Happily married for 5 years now 😁
My mom is a red-head from Manchester. Back when she lived with her parents in Manchester and she came home from a New Year's Eve party, she had to check to see if it was okay to enter the house. It was considered bad luck for for the household if the first person to cross the front step on New Year's Day was a red-head. She would often have to wait while her parents found a non red-head to enter the house before she did.
I feel like its because of the success of Business Blaze, Daven's seen that people really like it when Simon goes off script. In my personal opinion though, it was mostly funny when he did it here *because* it was so infrequent.
That sounds rather unlikely to be true.. Literally anyone with hair that isn't black would be considered "someone without black hair". This includes bald people, people who's hair has lost its pigment and has become grey, and people with hair colours that aren't black. I would say it is reasonable to assume that more than half of the world's population will have met someone who meets that criteria at some point. Certainly the prevalent hair colour in most parts of Africa and Asia would appear to be black. And a significant percentage of people across Europe and the Americas have black hair. So it would probably be correct to say that the vast majority of humanity has seen a person with black hair. It's less impressive, but I would argue more accurate.
I can imagine that the person in question would leave well-informed about the demonic nature of the ginger fiends that walk amongst us and eternally grateful to Simon for handling the issue of evil incarnate in such a calm and professional manner.
Red head father, blonde mother: 1 child red, 2 children strawberry blonde, 1 child Mousey blonde/light brown... I'm one of the strawberry blonde kids I like to call it rose gold
Spencer Robinson You have to have some somewhere, they don’t have to be living. And on both sides of your family tree. Could be from a long time ago, and then those two recessive genes met, and boom, here you are!😉
My daughter brown, her husband red. One rose gold (I really like that, I hope you don’t mind if I use it!), blue eyes. One brown with brown eyes. They don’t even look related lol. I swear they are lol. Genetics work funny. My husband I can pretty much guarantee has no red, but I’m blond, and I absolutely have red in my family. So my daughter must have inherited the gene through me, but it didn’t show up in her. Well, it couldn’t, it’s recessive, and needs two.
Bob Charlie it’s like a lottery, eh? Think of all the poor red heads that just popped up in the family, and dad was NEVER quite sure🤔, before people understood genetics😁.
@@screamtoasigh9984 It was a joke...but Scots and Irish folks are usually redheaded. All my family are Scottish and I'm therefore redheaded. My partner and his family are Irish and are all redheaded.
When Simon cracks up at the satan script 😂😂😂😂 This one was really fun. Thanks Simon! P.S. for all the satan spawn out there, there’s a book called, creatively, “Red”, about well, redheads. It’s really interesting. I gave one to my son-in-law for his birthday.
Replace the word Redhead w/ any other race & see If this is still a laughing matter. If not, then pls join us in disliking & reporting this video as Hateful/Abusive (i.e. racist humor) bc the channel (Daven @3:45) has blown off all our reasonable objections to his utterly inappropriate script for a usually respectable program.

Is it by Jacky Collins Harvey? I’m weirdly interested in books focusing on one thing, like the property of seeds or how how much difference having a beaver population can have on the entire ecosystem, or how wings evolved and how they work, even how coloration on them works. So this sounds right up my alley. 😅
Simon cracking up is one of my favorite things. I have NO clue how we got from Satan’s red-headed hussies to Vlad the Impaler, but I enjoyed the ride 👍🏻
That's not actually true. I'm sorry. Blue is actually the most common eye color among redheads, while green, blue green, blue gray, and light gray are less common by quite a bit. Red hair and light gray eyes is the rarest combination. Only 1% of redheads have them. 22% of gingers have straight blue eyes (not blue gray or blue green) while only 8-10% of the entire human population has them. I can't find where this myth began or how it perpetuated, but every article about red hair and blue eyes being the rarest combination has the exact same information peppered with misguided speculation. It's a shame because there are so many outlets that picked up that story, but if you look at the actual statistical data on eye color, you'll see that it's not true at all. When I was a kid, a similar story about red hair and green eyes was a big thing. Interestingly, there is a reason that gingers have different eye color percentages than other people. The DNA for most hair colors is on chromosomes 15 and 19, which are the same chromosomes that contain the genetic information that determines eye color. The MC1R gene, however, is located on chromosome 16. This means that a redhead's eye color is not tied to his or her hair color while other hair color genes are linked to eye color genes. The reason you'll see brunettes with both brown and blue eyes is that there are two different brown hair genes- one linked to blue and green eyes and there other linked to brown eyes. Redheads are unique in that they can end up with any eye color their parents carried genes for while other hair colors will almost always be accompanied by the eye color that corresponds to that hair's gene. This also means that eye color can be predicted in the rest of the population based on hair color, but it can't be predicted in gingers, which is kind of cool.
Sin and Cyanide they didn’t mean amongst redheads. They meant hair color and eye color combinations as a whole, including blonde, brown, and black. They’re right but so are you.
The giddier you get the more I enjoy your vids 😂 I have to say I got NO clue how we got from reds to Dracula. I enjoyed the hell out of the ride though!
I was highly amused when I found out about the genetics of this, as I have apparently inherited one copy of the mutated gene from my Scottish father. I recall one summer, as a teenager, spending every possible moment in the sun hoping to get something resembling a tan on my otherwise fish-belly white skin - gradually increasing the amount of time I spent in the sun, and never spending too much time at once, to try to avoid burns. The only thing I seemed to accomplish - other than the inevirable burns - was gaining even more freckles, apparently - and the slight reddish undertone as the sun bleached my hair. In my twenties, I finally gave in and simply finished what nature started by colouring my hair red - the appropriately hair colour to go with my pale, freckled skin.
@@TelikiMouse only if you have it and your spouse does. Even then... Genetically I'm likely to be brown haired...(all those tests where they use your raw dna data to guess your looks - they never guess ginger). And I have more than two ginger variations of the gene.... NONE of my parents or grandparents or auntd or uncles or cousins or even 2nd cousins/etc. are gingers. Otherwise I'm clearly related looks wise, and share the paternal side's rare light green eyes (and genetically match both parents, so this isn't a case of the mailman). There's a reason we are so rare.
I'm one of those indigenous Africans with Woolly "red" hair. Really it's more of a bright brown or a dull orange, but when I take good care of it, it gets darker and less evil.
This video might have the best writing you've ever done! Don't get me wrong, I love Danny, but the constant demon references are perfect in this video! And I learned something too!
My first gen Irish American grandpa (both parents came from County Sligo) had curly fiery red hair, pale blue eyes, and pink skin that didn't tan. Even though I'm part Native American, and didn't get my dad's Native brown skin, I got my grandpa's but not his red hair or the blue eyes that happened on both sides of my family. I DO NOT tan, and have to stay out of the sun... This would be fine in Ireland, England, and Germany where 3/4 of my family come from, but not so great in Arizona where I live. I must carry the red headed gene because I don't tan, but my only child got my blond hair, and her father's lighter green eyes. My eyes are olive green (in my family as they normally have blue, hazel. or brown). My daughter is fair, so I tried to keep her out of the sun. But I don't know if she has every burned like I do. No one but she and I retained blond hair in adulthood, as it normally goes darker in puberty or in early childhood like most of my family members that were born with light hair.
I am so happy that you spoke of Vlad III. I have that woodblock print tattooed on my leg. I even had the opportunity to travel to Roamnia to see the sites related to his life. I look forward to going back again.
No, in some cultures there's wives tales and stories of redheads being witches, the spawn of a tyrst with the devil, or the mother/father was possessed, ect. And the resulting redheaded baby was considered to have no soul. It's all a joke now bc we know about genetics and most redheads find it humourous in good fun. This script just played on that like a comedy skit.
Wow, I’m either offended or amused, I’m not sure which. Many of my siblings, an uncle an Aunt, an ancestor or two are red headed. Not Demons!!!! So yea, but it was very informative.
David and Cathy, you two are hilarious. I haven't laughed out loud watching RU-vid in ages. I realize this is satire and hope most of the folks watching, see this as well.
Both of my mother's grandparents were carriers then, since both had brown hair and my mother had bright red hair, though she's been dying it blond the last fifteen years. My sister and I have bits of red in our hair, me more so in my beard, but we both have brown hair. Pretty interesting!
So. 3 mins in I had to stop the vid.. the laughing was getting uncontrollable and I couldn't concentrate anymore. Whats worse...I was laughing so hard I couldn't hear Simon...but everyone could hear me. Rather than explain...I just restarted the video and let everyone in the room watch. What really cracks me up ... he's reading fresh copy so he hadn't worked out pronunciations yet and then the writers sneaked that extra stuff in ... hilarious!!! Ah well, I've calmed down enough to get back to the video....thank you for that!
