U-want it? U-GND-IT! Here's your Flag/ Fan day for UGANDA! Now question for YOU! What would be a good filler video you'd like to see?

[@randyangiro]

Thanks

Hi

[@DoniPogba777]

OK.

[@ChrisFan890]

you deserve the four million

[@coiboyify]

Nah ima be honest, these flag fridays (or any day) are for the OG’s. We love the extra info about the flags since they were part of the original episodes too (and fan mail is great I love it)

[@jaybestnz]

I'm working through learning all the flags and having a story around it makes it so much easier.

[@rajendragrandhi4818]

I don't know why people don't watch flag day videos. We can learn a lot more about the country from their flag and emblem.

[@danielbenner7583]

Uganda has a really cool flag, love that grey crowned crane strutting in the middle.

[@aminahkalule6594]

Wow thanks dear

[@danielbenner7583]

0:18 The letter “C” stands for “Caesarean”, not Julius 😅 as most people think, but after the Latin word « caesus » = to cut . 😊 And so, we also call “C-section” : a “Caesarean section” !!! 😊👍 (une « Césarienne » in 🇫🇷)

[@RealUlrichLeland]

11:28 Penicillin was invented in St Mary's Hospital, London in 1928. This guy must be talking about how 30 years later in Michigan a more efficient method for its synthesis was discovered by John C. Sheehan.

Afghans : ha we were first. Zimbabwe : we will have the best quality video since barbs improved so much

All love and Support from Bahrain 🇧🇭❤️

[@robertstauffer2865]

I actually enjoy the Flag/Fan videos more than the actual country videos. PS: I guess you made NO mistakes for the 1st time in the Uganda episode? That's a first, right? Or did you just forget?

[@VusiZulu-fh3yu]

Me too ❤❤❤

[@user-gr9fq9gt9w]

0:40 It was not in Uganda. It is called the "Uganda Scheme" but it was in a very small land area in modern-day Kenya roughly around the area of what is today Uasin Gishu county. Which back then was barely populated.

[@paulperlich]

Yes that is correct

[@user-gr9fq9gt9w]

@ME_94 No, it wasn't. It was in 1902. And your second comment makes absolutely no sense.

[@heybagley]

I forgot to mention that when I watched the main video about Uganda I loved Art's black turtleneck sweater. Not only did he look quite handsome, less sporty and more elegant with it, but it also looked like Art had become merely a floating head thanks to the black canvas behind him. 😆

[@enabledkillagaming5673]

Gotta love to know the symbolisms of flags

[@temisan8244]

I'll never stop watching these

[@jadena.649]

Thank you barbs, I know these videos don’t get as many views, but it’s still important for people trying to research more about a country and you’ve given more recourses, thank you. I also enjoy watching you interact with your fans!

[@arielrojas8410]

Listen to UG SKYWALKIN. He’s a Ugandan American singer in Indiana.

[@irenephunthsog1131]

I CANT WAIT FOR THE UK EPISODE ITS GONNA BE INTERESTING🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@missleading3246]

Ugandan is home to the Guinness world record holding youngest monarch ,King Oyo of Tooro. Whose aunt Princess Bagaya was the first black woman on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar and among the first black women on Vogue magazine. She was first East African woman to be called to the English bar and First female lawyer in Uganda. 🤯🤯.

[@user-cm4bw5mm6b]

I just like your unbiased talk

[@stormstargd247]

Ukraine: Oh boy I hope he’s prepared for my episode

[@TiciaM]

I love these videos, so even if it gets less views, I will happily watch it.

[@RoseBasemera]

Beautiful flag 😂 🇺🇬 yes am Ugandan

[@z0phi3l]

Normally don't comment much, but these Flag episodes are just as important as the main country episode

[@itamar8721]

“The Uganda plan” is something that EVERY Israeli student know about, we learn about it for our finals, it is what barbs mentioned in the beginning of the video about the plan to create Israel in today’s Uganda. Crazy that it actually almost happened!

[@enjailnbbn786]

Fun fact it actually was planned to be established in Eastern Kenya)))

[@shamimnatukunda2467]

Uganda is the land that flows with milk and honey. So Israel wanted the land so bad because it knows that it is the fake Israel. Their land is completely dry the opposite of the promised land.

[@marc8485]

[@machinesofgod]

I watch all the flag/fan days 😎

[@zendragon9]

I just want to say. I love these episodes just as much as the main ones because I love hearing about the flags meaning and importance to their country. Keep them coming.

The Shield and spears means uganda is protected and created crane standing with one leg means uganda is moving forward 👍 thank for loving my country ❤🇺🇬🇺🇬

But are we really moving forward

[@EingefrorenesEisen]

I'm from Detroit, lived in Tennessee, South Carolina, and now Boston, Massachusetts. Michigan will forever be where my heart is for its natural beauty and its down to earth people. If it weren't for economic opportunity differences and a walkable city here in Boston, I'd move back to my home state in a heartbeat. Shout outs to fellow Michigan grograpeeps!

[@EingefrorenesEisen]

Oh and PStheRebels are actually super dope. I checked them out, and I recommend you do too if you like old school rap with good flow and lyrics with a passionate message. Thank you barbs and team for all the work you do for these. You're making the world a better place! Flag episodes are great imo.

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

Five more episodes until my country of the United States! Can't wait to see who's guess starring... Because you can just use your friends xD music section with Keith will be super easy since he can just show off all of his collections made in America.

[@katealmond3421]

I love these episodes! Always waiting for them, don’t change, please 😊❤❤❤

Good luck with the Ukraine episode. That's gonna be a big one too with all recent events.

Great video as always.

Honestly speaking, I love fan Fridays because its kinda informal and entertaining…

[@andromeda331]

I love Flag/Fan day videos.

[@oscarzxn4067]

The coat of arms is very similar to the one of Chile, like extremely similar, I wonder if it's a coincidence or both are inspired on something.

[@GreyWasteTim]

Probably still could have done an animation for "The Blood of those who act as our brothers! The Blood of those who act as our brothers!"

[@Mal_Abd]

These episodes r great!

[@Sam-pv7bd]

I love Tarcin. I think Tarcin is my favorite member of the Geography Now team.

[@chelseafan4eva]

Actually the hertzl "Uganda plan" wasn't in Uganda at all it's in modern day Kenya (uasin gishu county). The borders back in the early 1900s weren't entirely set since both countries were in British East Africa so people considered the rift valley/lake Victoria region "Uganda".

[@Franciscoluche]

10:56 Hi all. 🙂 Here in Vietnam, it’s the CAT Year. 🤗♥️🇻🇳 Why not the “Rabbit” ??? 😮 Maybe both have the same taste? 😂 Well, in China, the rabbit was chosen to represent the earthly branch called Mao. But in Vietnamese, the pronunciation of Mao can be very similar to how the word "cat" (Meo in Vietnamese 🇻🇳) is pronounced. “Mao” doesn't necessarily mean cat or rabbit. 😅 And maybe because the cat looks more majestic because it also resembles a little tiger. 😉👍🐯 To most Vietnamese, the cat is a firm family friend that helps protect crops and food from rodents, while also chasing away bad spirits and bringing good luck. Despite this, cats can still appear on the menu in rural areas of Hanoï, although authorities have banned the practice. I’ve never eaten cat, but only a dog’s rib or a rat leg. 😅 PS: there’s another story in the Chinese zodiac mythology that says why the cat replaces the rabbit. 😊

[@Franciscoluche]

And here’s the story. 😊 The Cat is the 4th animal symbol in the 12-year cycle of the Vietnamese zodiac and Gurung zodiac, taking place of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. As such, the traits associated with the Rabbit are attributed to the Cat. Cats are in conflict with the Rat. Legends relating to the order of the Chinese zodiac often include stories as to why the cat was not included among the twelve. Because the Rat tricked the cat into missing the banquet with the Jade Emperor, the cat was not included and was not aware that the banquet was going on and was not given a year, thus began the antipathy between cats and rats. It is possible domesticated cats had not proliferated through China at the zodiac's induction. Another legend known as "The Great Race" tells that all the animals in the zodiac were headed to the Jade Emperor. The Cat and Rat were the most intelligent of the animals, however they were both also poor swimmers and came across a river. They both tricked the kind, naïve Ox to assist them by letting them ride on its back over the river. As the Ox was approaching the other side of the river, the Rat pushed the Cat into the river, then jumped off the Ox and rushed to the Jade Emperor, becoming the first in the zodiac. All the other animals made it to the Jade Emperor, while the Cat was left to drown in the river after being sabotaged by the Rat. It is said that this is also the reason cats always hunt rats. 😊 (Thanks to Wikipedia 😉👍)

[@user-gr9fq9gt9w]

6:10 It is one from West Germany, one from East Germany and one from Tunisia...

[@Rafaelrealizado]

Nice. Very good to discover signification of colors and animals of flags

[@timmmahhhh]

I know in your early videos you discussed the flag in the country segment. For what country did you first create the separate Fan Flag Friday? Love these!

[@danadnauseam]

Happy new year, Barby

Honestly I love the flag videos since I have a fascination for vexillology. I skip the fan mail part though 😅

Uganda has such a cool flag, that Crane in the middle reminds of Mexico's flag with the eagle. And the colors are kinda similar to Germany's flag as well

[@juliusnepos6013]

Never been this early for a flag/fan friday

[@ekgrulez1]

I'm already very interested in what content's going to be in the Ukraine episode.

[@madamplatypus313]

I think about this flag a lot… that bird, man, that bird.

[@ospero7681]

Maybe this was already mentioned on the main video (not digging through 1600 comments to make sure), but Lou Bega, aka the "Mambo No.5" guy, is half Ugandan. His name is actually David Lubega Balemezi, born to a Ugandan father and an Italian mother in Germany in 1975. Not exactly the origin you'd expect for the singer of one of the biggest Latin hits of 1999, but there you go. (Also, props to whoever came up with the idea of taking his middle name "Lubega" and splitting it to make the far more Latin-sounding "Lou Bega" out of that.)

[@EvanJGMegson]

I’ll be going to Uganda this year 😊 to build a school

[@rtepp]

Love that flag

[@JesseKuiper]

6:11 The coin on the left is from the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and the one in the middle from Tunisia.

[@JesseKuiper]

Also, I think the coin from the Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany) says 1994 so that was after the reunification.

[@DoniPogba777]

I had watched almost all the episodes since Afghanistan That doesn't mean that i started watching it since the Afghanistan video was uploaded
