Fashion is a fickle beast that molds and shifts with time, spawning new styles ranging from the modest and practical to the wacky and eccentric. This video will focus on the latter, and with the birth of human civilization giving rise to social structure thousands of years ago, there are no shortage of bizarre trends throughout history! First we'll dive into the bizarre trend of a fake limp, taking after an iconic princess of the age. To follow that up, we'll explore one of the pointiest fashion trends: Crakows. Finally, we'll learn why there was a period of time where everyone was crazy for pineapples!

That painting by king Charles is actually a massive honor for that gardener. To be immortalized forever like that is difficult and it's likely the gardener couldn't have afforded a portrait like that anyway. Pretty cool

[@skyefirenails]

Dude, the gardener wasn't painted by King Charles. He was literally part of the painting to show the glory of the King. It's the same as when white people were painted with slaves pointing to them or handing them something on a platter. It was to glorify the white person and show that they were rich enough to own slaves. The gardener is literally just set dressing. I don't remember if his name is remembered or there is a record of it, I hope there is, but he will have been completely overlooked by much of history. It was an honor, yes. But it's not exactly the way you described.

[@iain-duncan]

@Headache Chronicles obviously he wasn't painted by the king lmao I didn't say that. And no, he's not just set dressing, he's painting to intricate detail, whether he's the focus or not. Royal gardeners are also anything but "slaves" it's an esteemed position that pays quite well

That thing with the Pineapples is actually very similar to Tulips. Beloved for their beauty, prices for still living bulbs skyrocketed during and after a tulip plague, causing them to be seen as status symbols with the wealthy having massive sects of their gardens dedicated to them. Funny thing is that tulip sellers eventually began taking pre-orders for them, proven in the form of vouchers which could later be turned in or even sold to someone else for a profit, leading to an actual speculative market on tulips... a speculative market on flowers, which obviously eventually crashed.

Being a former wardrobe consultant I told that story so many times. Although slight nuance, nowadays suits aren’t designed to be buttoned, so it throws off your silhouette to button the bottom button. It’s less faux pa now and more “you’re making yourself look worse.”

[@chee.rah.monurB]

Does it really look that bad to button-up all the buttons??

[@Jessie_Helms]

@@chee.rah.monurB depends on your figure, how tailored the garment is, and what you’re going for. If you’re heavy set, not wearing a particularly well tailored suit, and wearing a looser fit it won’t make _too much_ of a difference. But if you’re slim, it’s very well tailored, and/or you wear a tighter fit it will noticeably mess up how it flares at the bottom, mess with the tension on the buttons, and possibly pull on the shoulders of the garment.

[@tcp8946]

As an expert, how long do you think until we are saying the same thing about everyone flaunting their """""super unique mental illness""""" of the season?

@@tcp8946 it’s laughably ironic that people like you will cry out that Mass shootings are solely caused by lone wolf crazies and yet also mock anyone seeking help for mental health, call any efforts to help them socialism, and insist that guns stay freely available to them. Let’s say 10% of people claiming a different _nuerotype_ (not a mental illness to be ADHD, for example). I’d rather waste some resources on a handful of people _while ensuring the safety of everyone else_ and making them better utilized by society (a healthy mind and body are required to work at peak efficiency) than have hoards of less effective, less happy, more dangerous people going around undiagnosed, unmedicated, and self-isolated. And make no mistake, I support gun rights. Therefor I must support mental health programs- you can have bad national mental health, you can have easy access to guns, but you can’t have both in a stable, safe society.

[@tcp8946]

@@Jessie_Helms No, I don't care even a little bit. First of all, most of those shooters are likely government experiments (James Holmes, Ted Kazinkski, etc.) And the ones who aren't NEWS FLASH: SIHT HAPPENS. If you want mass shootings to go away (anything over 2 people killed or wounded) then get rid of gun free zones and allow people the right to defend themselves. Over 95% of mass shootings (if you don't include gang violence which accounts for almost all gun violence) happen in Gun Free Zones. These maniacs know where to go so they can get away with it. You can't control crazy. That's the definition. While my comment was obviously referring to people like you who claim to be an advocate or victim of some nebulous "mental illness", (no one ever has a single disease these days, just """""mental illness""""), you brought up something completely irrelevant to shoehorn in your faulty politics. The second amendment is a god given right to defend yourself. Your feelings aren't. Deal with it. Also that literally is not what irony is lol.

From what I recall (A story told to me by a Spanish receptionist many years ago), the reason Spanish has so many 'strange' sounds is one King has a lisp, so his court copied it and it was spread throughout society. (That's the short version).

[@Bacopa68]

Possibly, but Spanish has interdental sounds in all dialects. Remember "cada dia" is "catha 'thia". There is a precedent for an interdental "s". Interdentals are rare in European languages, and rarer in the rest of the world. Spanish and Greek have them. Germanic languages once had them, but only Icelandic and English retain them.

The witch one is litteral example of "if you say anything with enough confidence someone is going to believe you"

When the Soviet union collapsed the pineapple and banana was very rare and very expensive in my country, there was even a game show where the winner get pineapples and bananas and everyone sees you as god

Pineapples don't grow on trees, but on little shurbs

Happy New Year ! I am glad you're still making these videos. I find them incredibly interesting. Especially the one where the guy made the submarine, and the one about the bees. Those really stick out in my memory. Not funny but well at little reality check. History heros or villains?? Still pondering.

5:55 - That was a *great* punchline! The buildup was genius!

The three-button "rule" is actually just common sense - if you have to use the buttons, and just one of them, on most people the suit/blazer looks better when the middle button is used. The upper button causes a quite big gap to occur lower down in the front, and use of the lower button only may cause the upper parts to be a bit bubbly.

I was sure that Tim would have gotten a Protection Order against Prof. Blue Jay for what whole "kidnapping and radiation" thing.

[@ShreddySteve]

Man, I get so excited every time a new video drops! Never disappoints! Thanks Jay!

[@AzathothLives]

When I think about the Dole Company and Hawaii, I don't think about pineapples. Anyone interested should look up James' cousin, Sanford Dole. He has an... interesting history, to say the least.

[@roberttfoley]

I think Jay may have lost his mind, but it’s hilarious and I love it

[@EllpaFox47]

What a coincidence that this video mentions a T-34 and I happen to own a T-34! -I mean it’s a Lego set but stilll-

It brings me some relief knowing people throughout history faked disabilities to be considered “trendy” and it wasn’t just this generation.

7:31 only the wealthy could afford the fine leather to make the shoes at this time.. so if you had shoes with visible extra leather (pointy tips), you were seen as wealthy and fashionable. Not just because they were "sick".

[@sawyerrichardson6077]

I've got cerebral palsy and that joke about it was fuckin hilarious 🤣

[@my_real_name]

I always love it when you make sequels of great videos

[@IceCrystalWolf]

Thanks BlueJay, now I _need_ some black leather winklepickers

More Fun facts about Pineapples, King Louis xiv was presented the Pineapple as a gift but he didn't know what it was and tried to bite it, like you would an ordinary apple, and it shredded his mouth. The King was so embarrassed that he banned pineapples from France.

Those pointy shoes are maxing a comeback in rural Mexico in he form of pointy boots and the longer the pointy boot means you are cooler with less friends to warn you of their total coolness...

[@chuckwagon9973]

Wait your not supposed to button the bottom button on a suit jacket?
