Love how the animator managed to capture the weird crazy look in Rasputin eye's. He really was a weird looking dude like spooky

[marcello]

This kind of videos are a source of inspiration for short stories. Well done!

"So, how did you two meet and end up getting married?"
"We met at a dance, and the next day he shot down my airplane."

NOW this ! Is a very good narrator. Took his time, understandable, good speed of talkative narration and able to acknowledge key points in the stories. Liked and saved !

24:19 JESUS DUDE… I was happily binging Simple History before bed, minding my own business, when you hit me with this nightmare fuel 😆

26:13 is probably my favorite story. First time hearing it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I loved the others and had a good giggle at the emus and the auto icon but the pilots story is so awesome.

One of the strangest stories on WWII I heard was during the German attack on Poland a Catholic Priest was beginning Mass with as he traditionally did his back to the Congregation when he heard the jackboots walk up the central Aisle, and several people run but suddenly heard the German Catholic officer respond to his Latin Words as Mass continued.

Rasputin was truly one scary dude! He reminds me of a lead singer of a Death Metal band! Regardless, his name has survived the test of time, being known to even those unfamiliar with his story or questionable means of death. Crazy stuff and GREAT JOB!! 🎯💯🔥🦹‍♀️

This is a certified weird history classic

Imagine the torture that crew would’ve went through if they landed on that Japanese air field. He saved them by killing their plane.

I would love to see you guys do a history skit on Vald III/Dracula.
It's interesting on how he got to power and fought of the turks.
It's also interesting to see what theories are out there about his mysterious disappearance for 8 years. Could he have been a vampire? What happened in those 8 years of his disappearance that made the stories of him being a vampire come to surface?

[davidhewitt]

You didn't put what I'd consider the creepiest part: Rasputin supposedly predicted the downfall of the monarchy if he dies. He said they would fall within a year.

[ReaperofValhalla]

I see the Emu war as a prime example of an army doing something they are not trained for.

[julianrengifo]

Oh! Oh ! Do a story on the chef Charlie Joughin ! He was one of the chefs on the titanic that survived being afloat in the freezing waters by being intoxicated!!

Love this. Strange stories just add mystery and make the perfect conversation starters!

Ayy, we're starting off with Rasputin!!

[bitgamerx]

Theres more fact checking and research in each of these uploads to the point where just bringing this makes me learn more than what I would from a semester of history classes on school

Keep up the good work, every upload is great!

The worst part is Rasputin’s evil looks are not exaggerated at all. Guy was a real troll
