An ordinary guy looks through the history and development of the humble window.

Wow, that boarding school joke was a 12 out of 10.

Love the clever analogies!

[PixelWitch]

you know you've found a good channel when the next recommended is about windows, and you're like, I don't care about windows but I know this guy will make me care. Sure, lets watch a thing about windows.

What makes the defenstration of Prague even more funny is that it was actually the second defenstration of prague

[deathandcupcakes]

nowadays we have houses that are made entirely of windows. how quickly we forget our past.

After all these years I have finally found a fellow defenestration fan. Rock on Brother. Rock on.

[OrdinaryThings]

Thanks for watching. Please like, comment and share! Also if anyone knows the film I use when defining defenestration, you'll win...my esteem.

Defenestration in Prague =) such good times. We've done it multiple times and maybe should have again 3 years ago.

Bess of Hardwick:
four times the bridal bed she warmed,
and everytime so well performed,
that when death spoiled each husband's billing,
he left the widow every shilling

How you've been managing to put these out so frequently with each one being better than the last is confusing to me, but I'm glad you're able to do it. Never thought windows could be so interesting/funny.

[HellcrushPlays]

Thanks for the video.

Could you explain pens? I find them confusing and mysterious.

Also, I find that my sword is capable to cutting clean through most pens, debunking a common phrase that might lead future generation to attempt warfare while woefully under equipped.

Your channel kicks ass, been sharing it around, hoping to give it some exposure.

Ive installed about 22, 000 windows in my career. Everything from plate, safety, hurricane and church stain glass. I've always found the history interesting. I really enjoyed the video.

[RockSolitude]

Facts that this video missed: the single biggest and richest windows company in the world doesn't actually sell windows.

Fun fact: Joseph Paxton also designed Birkenhead Park in Merseyside. On a visit to Liverpool in 1850 Frederick Law Olmstead took the ferry across the Mersey to see the (relatively) new Birkenhead Park. The park was an innovation in it's time because it was the first public park to step away from the traditional "square, with grass and a few trees and benches" kind of park that were common in London and other cities. This new park was to be a "slice of nature" transplanted into the middle of an urban landscape to give city dwellers a break from the hustle and bustle of the towns that they were built in. This is exactly what Olmstead wanted for New York and went on to design Central Park in Manhattan based on the design of Birkenhead Park. In fact one of the lakes in Central Park was a replica of the lake at Birkenhead Park designed by Paxton.

Your pun of "rough" is this quarter's leading excuse for regarding life as bearable.

This is my new favourite channel :) A few ideas for ordinary things: boxes, buttons, bottles. Not sure why they all start with B.

[jesuschrist]

This channel is amazing. Please keep going.

I love how much he's grown in his videos. It's been so cool to see him become noticeably more comfortable in front of the camera. Definitely helps him land his jokes better.

Rich people would rather be in the dark rather than give up their money to the state? Based.

[anerisgreat]

Dude I just ripped through all your videos. Looking forward to the next ordinary thing!
