Hungarian Folk Tales: The Mayor's Clever Daughter (S02E04)

[@indiciaobscure]

"If your life's so carefree, Mr. Mayor, then it's my job to give you something to worry about." Causing unnecessary obstacles to petty officials, Great King, A+, would not guillotine

[@pinkpupanimations1922]

[@KKristof100]

Where there's a mayor who "doesn't have any problem or care", it means he must not care about the problems of his village. So the punishment is just fair.

[@MegaFrog98]

There's a detail that got lost in translation, in the Hungarian original Matthias actually gives a pretty legit reason for this whole charade. He reasoned if the mayor has no worries in his life, there's no way to know if he cares about his town at all, or if he just happens to have no problems to solve, so he put him under a little pressure. As for the execution, he had a habit of scaring well-to-do officials this way, but without any intention to actually execute them, just to shock them out of their complacent life. Mind I'm not excusing Matthias as a king (he was a pretty merciless tyrant IRL), but as a folklore character, he's basically a trickster who punishes nobles and officials for being too content to care for the little man.

[@Verebazs]

It's the mayor's duty to help the villagers with their problems. So if the mayor writes on his front door that he has no problems at all, that either means he's negligent in his duty, or his village is a utopia. Three guesses which is more likely.

[@storytellerfan1420]

I was sure that the girl would have to dress in boys clothes, since the king said not to where a dress, and since she could not walk or ride to the palace she would have someone carry her.

I think there is another version elsewhere in Europe where it is told that way. As it is, I will make note of your suggestion when I tell this tale.

I know why she wore a bra. As a large breasted woman myself, going riding or jogging without one is rather painful! Things pull and get in the way.

[@florencekellogg659]

As a woman whose has a large chest and is taking the steps to a breast reduction. I HATE bras; I try my best not to wear them when I can; even going through heat strokes just to wear a tighter shirt under a looser shirt (which works well with making my boobs stay in place and look appropriate to the public, especially since I work). I don't run or jog much though due to the damage and stiffness of my back as well as my hips due to getting my chest young (20 years old and I have the worst arguments with stairs...my worst enemy). The bra actually causes more pain as it lifts up my chest from it's resting position causing the jiggle to be more painfull, the underwire as well as bands/straps dig in causing bloodied welts and rashes, and I can't find a bra for less than $60 each that I even find decent (I don't lots of money, plus I'm helping out with bills for my disabled parents). So, I mostly go braless, I sleep on my side and my stomach, and do many things most people with big boobs dread...because they feel amazing to me though the chest reduction would feel best...get what you can get for the time being I guess.

It's certainly sensible. When the king is off fighting wars or such, who is going to be more useful as a ruler in their stead, a princess who is pretty or one who is smart? No to mention that, if she ISN'T extremely pretty, they'll be less other people trying to bed her, and a better chance that any future offspring of the union are actually YOURS. Like Jimmy Soul (or the calypso song he got it from) says "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife."

she dang flashed his own father

[@EmAwake24x7]

Wait wait did she marry the king's scribe that was naked at the start after the king borrowed his clothes? So that guy might have been extra fine with voyeurism and also, wasn't that the queen looking at the naked man at 1.33??? SHE RAN AWAY WHEN THE KING RETURNED OH MY LORD.

I guess sex was ripe in those days

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alicewilloughby4318]

Yikes! Did she just moon her father?? Also, I couldn't help noticing a woman who I took to be the queen hanging out (flirting?) with the naked servant whose clothes the king had borrowed. Naughty joke in a fairy tale? My first thought was "Couldn't she have at least worn underpants with that bra??" but once she explained it it made a certain sense.

[@londonmason6129]

Back then when the folktale was written under wear didn’t exist

I love the music in this!

[@alhaquin]

Another weird one, but once more pretty enjoyable. These mini cartoons are pretty well made, good stuff guys. Btw the king's riddle's were complete trash to begin with, but hilarious nonetheless.

she was clever enough to make KZbin have this kid friendly

[@micanikko]

xD wtf was that butt. DEMONETIZED.

[@eloreen1275]

Ahhhhhh, this tale is hilarious. I know Brothers Grimm's version, which is slightly different.

[@Protagorasz]

Only this tale is much older than the Brothers Grimm. So that Grimm version is far from the original.

[@eloreen1275]

@@Protagorasz indeed. Love tales 💜💜💜💜

[@reepacheirpfirewalker8629]

I love this one it is so quirky in it's own European way. I am sure the part where she flips up her dress whatever it is that is being said doesn't translate well into English there are saying that may be profound but if the explanation isn't given it means nothing. Remember the Archer episode where he is the kind of the pirates and he keeps saying things the Pirates don't get.

[@feralbluee]

what a strange story. and, why, pray tell, did she show her backside to her father?! something tells me this story was “cleaned up”. 😋🌷🌱

[@Verebazs]

Like she said, patches are always sewn onto the inside of the clothes, not the outside. So she showed the inside of her skirt. Showing her buttocks was just the animation team being cheeky. Pun intended.

[@goatcheezius2399]

She was showing him the inside of her dress since you need to turn anyting inside out to fix it and also she was mocking him. He gets up to punish her for being cheeky but he's too old to catch her now and she vanishes. As a father who knew her closely and seen her bathed, having her diaper and clothing changed and spanked her it's nothing he hasn't seen before.

Imagine making it live action.

Hungarian women looked so juicy 600 years ago 🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️

[@NessLover94]

Why did the king want the mayor executed anyway?

[@MorliHolect]

To motivate him to solve the puzzles :)

[@Verebazs]

He didn't. Mayors should be helping their village folks with their troubles, so when the mayor wrote it on his door that he has none, he admitted he didn't care for his people. So Matthias decided to teach him a lesson.

[@Jgaldragon]

he was trolling him

[@illyr8590]

I dont think he was really gonna do it tho haha he's just trolling

[@cosmicscarecrowgirl]

So, king Matthias is just a big troll in all these stories?

[@nimuefate8652]

Reminds me of the story 'Clever Katya'

[@Tsubahi]

Pretty risque for a kid's animated fairy tale. :P

[@brianaschmidt910]

My favorite version is where a farmer gives the king a golden mortar (but not the pestle), so the king imprisons him. The farmer bemoans not listening to his clever daughter. So the king gives her these challenges. When she arrives at the palace, he marries her. They have a dispute. And the king is angry she helped him look like a fool. So he tells her to leave. She asks to take the one thing she values above all else in the palace. He agrees. And then wakes up in her farmer fathers house (she drugged him), where she explains that she values her husband above all else.
