Fairy Fails | Silly Rapunzel

[@HumbleOddity]

I've known this version (the real one) for years, but it's only just occurred to me - why doesn't the prince just bring her a ready-made ladder so she can escape straight away?

[@itsmemaya373]

That's what I've been thinking for yeeeaaarrss! Finally someone understands :)

[@HumbleOddity]

itsmemaya :D yup!

[@dafloofcrew6860]

HumbleOddity or at LEAST Bring more than ONE SINGULAR STRAND OF SILK!

[@maiafarinas7189]

Or a freaking rope man!

[@isabelharper6297]

Oh yeah, just bring me a strand of silk every night and maybe in 20 years I'll be able to get a quarter of the way down. Because that's much more logical than you actually BRINGING ME A FRICKIN LADDER SO I CAN LEAVE RIGHT NOW! To quote Carrie, Rapunzel you silly moo!!!

[@molly2846]

"You silly moo!" Loved this 😂

[@laurennorris7361]

Wow, "Into the Woods" really got it spot on didn't they?

[@Rhedd30]

+Lauren Norris I assume Into The Woods is based off this lol

[@fernobrien8452]

Watching this after last nights episode of fairy fails on good evening world. It might just be me but her accent sounds stronger in this video. It’s brilliant !

[@hannahdurrant6903]

Listening to these silly fairy tales like rupunzel and snow White etc. I've relised these are the versions I grew up with...

[@darciaglaucerica]

Me too XD

[@SometimesIWriteStuff]

Carrie, I love the way you tell these stories and make them so much funnier than if anyone else was telling them. I absolutely love your Fairy Fails videos!

[@abbyinwonderland6562]

PLEASE MAKE MORE! I NEED ME MAI CARRIE ANALYZING FAIRY TALES! Oh my gosh i can't even say how entertaining this is.

[@Lizzy3D]

In the version that I grew up with, the witch just let go of the hair when he was almost at the top. Once he was blind, the witch made him wander in the desert for years (he didn't die but god knows why) and then Rapunzel who had been searching for him finally finds him. Kinda romantic in a weird way. I can't remember whether he can see her again because of her tears though

[@FlamesInTheMoon]

OOh! I heard this version too! In the end when Rapunzel finds him, she cries (of joy? sadness?) and her tears fall into the prince's eyes (I think he was kneeling :p ) and he regains his sight.

[@Lizzy3D]

Ah, so like in the movie Tangled (sort of :P)

[@becky3983]

In the version I grew up with, the fairy/witch/ogre banishes Rapunzel to a desert and when the prince finds she's not there, he throws himself off the tower in despair.

[@bookwyrm18]

Many of these were thoughts I've had whilst reading old fairytales, but you put it so beautifully! I may have woken the neighbors with my giggles.

[@forfoxsake__]

i dont know, but i just appreciate the old versions as well. Even if they are a bit stupid, or alot. but in the end they are storys. And wouldnt it be very boring, if the prince would just bring a ladder, they escape and live happily ever after? or if rapunzel wouldnt mention it to the witch, she would make the ladder and escape, its too easy. it would be boring. But still i really love to hear carrie taking them apart. XD

[@lindaintheweb]

I love when you go through the 'proper' fairytales. I learn so much!

[@Darnyouglutenfood]

You're such a good story teller!

[@TaylorMacKinnon3]

ah this is one of the only original story version that i actually knew before any other version! I had a picture book of this when I was younger. When Tangled came out i was like "where is the cabbage Disney?!" LOL

[@longlivesparkles13]

is this why when rapunzel in tangled cries onto Flynn's face, he's wound is healed?

[@KittyxGrimm]

+Bonnierawr To be fair to Tangled, they actually *explain* why her tears have the same healing powers as her hair did.

[@longlivesparkles13]

ohh i must've forgotten haha oops ( ^-^')

[@SoccerGirl29995]

This is the version of Rapunzel that I grew up with. :) So lovely hearing you tell it, Carrie.

[@reblnugent]

"Oi. Oi what you doing, that's my Rapunzel!" XD

[@taliatis7305]

tangled suddenly makes so much more sense! Magical tears, the flower that healed the mother, the way Flinn was healed at the end. Wow O_o

[@maddyjohnson5641]

Just thought why the hell didn't the prince just bring a ladder

[@letitiadimond4537]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@olivia_vermast]

This should come back! It’s awesome!!!

[@robnipo]

I've read this version as well! Honestly when I read it, my reaction was basically the same... "WTF!?"

[@shobharamrabha3445]

Oww so that's why Rapunzel was translated to Lettuce in the "Mother knows Best " parody by Malinda... It all comes together now

[@bengodfrey6533]

"You Silly Moo"

[@anarchobaby]

"Ask for something better than a kid!" I love you, Carrie.

[@imbluedubbadee]

Rapunzel, you had one job!

[@FantasmaLuna]

Please, please, please, oh please make more of these fairy fail rants! They're just so entertaining!

[@NHyt32]

At least this one has a happy ending. In a really weird way.

[@malter87]

:) Thank you for bringing up the real version of the story ;) You know it's funny how as little children we don't question any of the things told in the story (no matter how silly or unbelievable they might be) but once we grow up we wonder - how could we have believed this thing, it's so ridiculous :)

[@sofiadinmamma5091]

Well, if she cried to get the Prince's eyes back, then wouldn't it be awkward filling the room with tears that turn into eyes just to get out? Like ride on a wave of eyes out of the tower like a psycho

[@maya4thawin]

I really like your style of storytelling! I'd love to see more of these.

[@user-wx4eu2wo1s]

Instead of making a silk ladder, why didn't rapunzel just jump out the window, she could make a parachute with her hair.....

[@LittleBlueDreams]

How mad is it now that you have found your prince and now both related because of looks and singing that you are Rapunzel and he's Flynn Rider xx

[@rachaelcavanagh3370]

Please make more of these!!!!

[@ReflectingFaith]

Okay, I've just recently (being literally about 2 days ago) started watching your vids. This was the first one I saw, and I laughed so hard, and loud, I'm surprised my neighbors didn't come banging on my door. I've shared the ones I've watched with a few of my friends and shared this one on my facebook and I subscribed to you, and then I realized I had yet to comment on any of your vids. For shame, I know ;) So I thought I'd comment on the first one I saw. You are hilarous, clever, and adorable!

[@rileystevens5209]

Who came here from good evening world? 😂😂

[@grishamlocke1428]

Meeeeee!!!😂😂

[@rileystevens5209]

ClownTingz Oop 😂😂 glad I’m not the only one 😂

[@alexandrabon07]

i love the way you tell the story ... haha it makes it sound so much better with the voice change and the small comments :)

[@sarahandersen4569]

Why would he have to just bring a strand of silk, why not just come back with a ladder! It would be so much quicker

[@nandalikescats]

You tell stories in such a cute little way!!

[@simplespecc2516]

I think that they ask for the child because that would hurt them the most

[@EliSerce]

I love your fury at the end "Sorted, sorted" ;) Carrie if you were a princess, everything would be so straight up and logical... it'd be more like a survival guide than a fairytale :D Love Fairy Fails, Love you :) x

[@charlottemillington2527]

I prefer the Tangled version aha :)

[@crochetingcanuck]

Your fairy fails are SO awesome. You definitely need to do more!

[@TheMusicluver1234]

The kids could have been twins

[@amybean9820]

god this made me laugh so much. i love you dudette! Carrie you are an inspiration.

[@Harrison_J_T]

I've heard a few version but one included the lettuce. I had forgotten that. Thank you for reminding me.

[@heythereamelia]

I love how you tell these classic tales! Haha

[@TheBreenScene]

It may be mental but I love that story :) In a version i read it is also said that tress carried her to a far off land, and he had not cried since she left the tower and was saving her tears

[@BriannaTSmith]

I love your story time with Carrie!! Can we please have more??

[@gilmourmcleod9133]

In the original Grimms version the prince stays blind. Also(I'm not saying you're wrong) the 'witch' is actually a lonely widow who loves Rapunzel very much and isn't being evil, just overly protective because she doesn't want her little girl to grow up. Love you Carriexxxxx

[@gracemoreton7731]

the end of this makes me so happy aw

[@RhomanysRealm]

I never understood why she didn't just cut her hair off and use it as a rope to escape.

[@Memmyrabilia]

She couldn't, I'm sure her mother hid or got rid of all the sharp objects so she couldn't

[@Purplegirl787]

I knew this version when I was really young from a children's book but I totally forgot about it until now!!! When she was telling the story I was like 'why does this sound so familiar' and then it came back to me! ... Kinda gruesome for a children's book though...

[@EveryDayALittleDeath]

This brings back memories of Into the Woods, which I grew up with, and how Rapunzel is mocked more than any other fairy tale in the show. Including Rapunzel being a huge ditz

[@ViolettsChief]

that's the version i grew up with (almost, rapunzels' mum was already pregnant, that's why she had the craving for rapunzels). but i like the disney version better

[@Bunnjee08]

YES I love this version and you pointed out SO many good points :D I love you! In glad someone realizes the lack of common sense put into this story :)

[@literarylex]

I genuinely enjoy watching your videos. So good.

[@Fawksthephoenix1]

yup, I'm happy someone noticed, but when she talked about him riding on a horse it was the first thing that came to mind!

[@simonhoward7396]

one of the best things i have seen on KZbin ... love it and would marry you just to hear you tell our kids bedtime stories... xx

[@heyitsphilosophie]

I loved this! Being told stories by you is wonderful Carrie :)

[@ileannecalderonhidalgo1546]

You silly prince !!! You should have used a ladder !!!! Now im thinking he didnt want her to get out of the tower hahahah

[@SallySueSaywhatagain]

This was great. Really great. Much as I love these kinds of stories (i.e. fairy tales), they are so ridiculous. Do you have more of these "Fairy Fails"? I'd love to watch them.

[@Egirl1003]

I think it's cool that the Disney version kept the "magic tears" bit! Very cool

[@keavihiggins]

"You silly moo" awww hahahahahahahahaha , your so amazing carrie

[@leena.x3501]

i had actually never read rapunzel, i only knew the barbie version so this whole video was a surprise to me

[@livchapman5820]

Haha I love the Barrie version 😂🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@anne-mirelieantoine9927]

I read the original version and at the end she ended up having twins a boy and a girl

[@manggisuka]

your enthusiasm is amazing. and its funny

[@OffInMyImagination]

'Silly Moo' Has now become my favorite insult... Ever. Carrie, You are a genius.

[@GioGrillo04]

Omg i laughed so much at this! Please, tell us more versions of fairy tales!

[@TheDailyPineapple]

Love that show! I played little red about 3 years ago. Fun times :)

[@fionataylor5987]

even in my worst moods your videos and sense of humor always cheer me up :') thank you! ps. please do more like this o:)

[@Mooncalfproductions]

I am, however, quite impressed by Disney's loyalty to the original canon, and indeed, how they have improved upon it!

[@katieanderson84]

"You're going to be left a widdow, if I don't get some of that green stuff in my face." And this is why I love you. Omg.

[@_samikoivisto]

I'm not comparing them. Their editing styles are resembling each other.

[@SokaRoxMySox]

The version I heard had no lettuce, no sacrifice of babies, no falling out a window, etc, only a girl named Rapunzel trapped in a tower by a witch, who climbs her hair cause there's no door. Then a prince climbs the hair, they fall in love, the witch finds out and is not happy. She tricks the prince and is gonna hurt him until Rapunzel saves him the end. As I grew older, I read that the witch magically blinded him and her tears made him able to see again. I think I like this version best.

[@MyPleaIsntInsanity]

Honestly this is the version I grew up with and was blown away when I heard another much sappier version. But I must agree, if an award for least common sense should be given out, Rapunzel would certainly be in the running

[@Yvaia]

This is the version I grew up with, so I was really surprised when Tangled didn't involve any kind of salad.

[@quotingcharlotte3381]

When I was a kid,I loved, and I still do, I loved reading. My mum got me piles of thin books and I was content enough for a while, but then I got sick of them and wanted thicker books. I got all the original stories and, loved them? I actually laughed at the prince falling and did silly names. I was five !?!?

[@JonasNyholm90]

I kind of love that Rapunzel wasn't put into the tower until she hit 12 because her hair wouldn't have been long enough before then. Because if I've learned anything about this fairy tale, it's that it's always completely logical.

[@QueenoDisney]

we did Into the Woods at my school and the two girls playing Rapunzel and the Prince were so funny during their reunion scene. It was brilliant.

[@sallylikescats]

Guys, stop being so mean to Carrie so that she has to change the video description to answer your comments! Be thankful that Carrie spends her own time making videos for us! She doesn't have to you know, so stop pointing out teeny tiny faults! xxx

[@HushIAmTalking]

In another version she confuses the witch's voice with the prince's and says "Oh my sweetheart, how I long for your visits!" (or something along those lines). Which is even stupider because like you said, they can't possibly sound the same.

[@ButterflyBookWorm]

This is actually the version that I grew up with... Glad I'm not the only one questioning the logic, even after all these years :D

[@Sunnymayification]

What? I watched and read rapunzel many many times but you just told me a new fairy tale... Why is that? Btw your version really is mental :)

[@diandrajean3]

I love your story telling skills! Did anyone else feel like watching Tangled after this?

[@Fawksthephoenix1]

yup! Haha, she said, he had a horse and I thought, well a horse isn't neccesary! I'm happy people are understanding the reference for the most part

[@seraalexandre9847]

I also remember that there's still a continuation to this. Basically, the prince brings rapunzel and her children to his castle. His mother ( the queen) so how has a huge craving for rapunzel 'so children, and wants to eat them. The chef tricks her and feeds her lamb instead. Then she asks for rapunzel. Again, the chef tricks her by bringing out a hot cauldron and telling the queen that rapunzel is in there, and that she needs to taste it. When the queen leans over, he pushes her over and boils her alive.

[@woelckchen007]

the two kids are twins.. the real cildren of Rpunze land the prince :D Oh I loved this story... I was born in Haunau, the town the brothers Grimm were living, so I know all of the grmm fairytales by heart ^^

[@QuillCafe]

There's a book called The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy where everyone mocks Rapunzel's prince for not getting a ladder or help to rescue her.

[@Lalaloolaleila]

You had one job Rapunzel! One job!

[@dracokiro]

I haven't seen "Tangled" but when I was a kid they actually created this version on Nickelodeon (I think it was Nick). I just remember it was 80- early 90s. There was a Snow White one too with a choking corset.

[@bellabradley4ever]

This is the version I grew up with, thought I can't remember the part where he regains his sight or the kids. As far as I can remember they found each other like the next day, she had no kids and he remained blind.

[@davinatomlin5943]

Just another note, were there no ladders in the kingdom? This is the prince we're talking about, could he not make one? Or get servants to?

[@IsNotAPipe]

I didnt know the full story, but now that i do, 'tangled' makes a lot more sense.

[@U2QuoZepplin]

I'm sure that in the story Rapunzel is taken by the witch because her parents have nothing else to give her. Your point about the witch's voice being different to the prince is a good one though. I think this Rapunzel kid was ever so slightly dim. But I love how worked up you get over this Carrie. Just remember it's a fairy tale. Alternatively get your time machine; (we've all got one haven't we,) and go back and sort out mister Grim , (he of Grim's fairy tales fame. )

[@yaboi4446]

When you said "He had a horse he wasn't just galloping along" it reminded me of Miranda :)

[@KnightRaymund]

It is quite a strange tale when you think about it. But then, a lot of the old fairy tales are, especially the non-disneyfied versions...

[@Katiedid1985]

This just popped up on my suggestion bar and I'm glad I looked it up.

[@feralnerd5]

This made me laugh out loud. Thanks for the entertaining analysis!

[@dampfoxes]

This was the exact version I've read! And yes, it is pretty mental... But NOT to a five year old child. They think it's brilliant that they end up 'happily ever after' and that's it, nothing else but happy endings.

[@maya4thawin]

Very, very good points to which the answers are, "It is a fairy tale," and "It is a fairy tale." Inadequate, I know. I feel your pain.

[@Kingdomheatsox2]

In the story I was read as a child the mother needed the rapunzel to make medicene for a illness. That makes much much much more sence
