“Up her va-hmmmm. Her baby canon. Her front entrance, if you will” had me cackling

[deaconemmerson]

As someone from New Zealand I feel that videos like this are important as Polynesian mythology isn't given enough attention being over shadowed by Greek, and Norse mythologies. Makes me smile seeing stuff like this

[sirensmelody]

Mom: "I can't dry my laundry"
Maui: "say no more"
🤜💥🌞

The Death of Maui really does take “I brought you into this world, I can take you back out” to a whole other level.

[soyyeolsaucey]

As a māori, learning these stories since birth, I can confidently say that this guy was accurate 👏

[riceracm]

“He climbed up her fun tunnel”....I almost choked on my tea chortling at that...😂

[everwildart]

Why did many people said that Maui is fat and overweight? That's exactly how strong Polynesian people look like..
People thought he's fat because they're used to see bodybuilders muscles in most movies and cartoons. Actual strong people look like that.

[speechy_keen]

“Baby canon”, “fun tunnel” ... interesting additions to my vernacular 😂 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Gruseppe]

I get so mad when people call maui overweight, he’s built like truck and looks like he could lift tons

[RayenTheBuzzybee]

Growing up in New Zealand, i learned about Maui every year in school until i was maybe 8 years old. we always read those books about him. and i remember that he wasnt nessecarily the strongest in his family but he was the smartest.

[natashadarko]

If Jon was a lecturer, I would listen to him for DAYS. I mean imagine him reading to his future children.

[EasilyBoredGamer]

I don't think Maui's appearance ever struck me as "Fat." He looks like the people i went to school with who did power lifting.

[strangeanomaly]

"Maui transfigurated himself into a worm and crawled into the goddesses va-hmm" Jon you said things were gunna get weird, this is straight up horror movie.

[DeadlyElement]

Mama:"damn sun never let's me dry my laundry"
Maui: Proceeds to beat the sh🤬 out of it

[leilah]

As a Polynesian, it took me a while to realize that Maui’s backstory in Moana was based off of Tahitian mythology

[mdub]

Stoked to hear my Maori people being mentioned, don't stress on the pronunciation you're putting the effort in and that's what matters!

[manager-nim]

I never thought of Maui as fat, he doesn't look fat he looks bulky and massive from the amount of fat and muscle

[xavierfletcher]

Jon, can you do messed up origins of Egyptian and Norse deities?

[DirectorsChoice]

Maui was great in the film, and knowing his mythology just makes him even more fascinating. Kudos to Disney for taking the time to share Polynesian history, even if there are some areas that weren’t as true to the mythology as others

[biddie]

Just a tip: Maori is pronounced “Mow-ri”
