Pigs, Laughter & Road Rage | 8 Bizarre Ways to Die in The Middle Ages…

[@gaylewinds4808]

I love how everyone being killed in paintings from this time period look either content with their lot in life or just mildly put out.

[@unkledoda420]

"...content with their lot in life or just mildly put out" 🤣👍 Perfectly worded. I will never look at another painting from this time period without thinking of this comment.

[@tyrlant2189]

They probably saw dead and dying ppl on a very regular basis. They ate meals in coffins atop bodies and juggled bones in the streets. Why do they suck so hard at depicting in art something they saw in life so often? Maybe they don't suck n people look calmer than we expect as they die?

[@trevcam6892]

Just what I was thinking. Thomas Becket looks quite happy to have a sword stuck in his head.

[@jordanhicks5131]

*sword going into head* "Well darn, THATS gonna ruin the weekend plans then...."

[@Prodigi50]

Creepily enough that’s somewhat realistic. I saw a photo of a man getting Death by a Thousand Cuts and he looked strangely calm.

[@NakedOwl501]

I honestly am so glad "random pig walking in and taking a nibble" isn't a plausible cause of death for my kids.

[@lukasp.8298]

that part was frightning and i don't even have kids

[@Knuckles2868]

Pigs were more vicious then luckily they've been bred to chill out some

[@spankyharland9845]

that got my attention- trust no friendly pig....especially if their name is Babe.

[@sleepyburr]

@@Knuckles2868 Not as much as you might think. Most domestic pigs aren't wild hog levels of aggressive, but they'll take a bite out of damn near anything that winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. More than one murderer has gotten rid of the body by tossing it into a pig pen and letting them do their thing iirc.

In my opinion, the best "death by laughter" is the Burmese King Nanda Bayin, who died of laughter in 1599 after an Italian merchant told him Venice was a free state with no king." Also that greek philosopher that died laughing when he watched his drunk donkey trying to eat figs.

[@vaclavvostoupalml.3662]

I guess there's something incredibly funny about animals eating figs, when it killed two guys. 😄

[@nathangarland9453]

Mate I swear I've nearly died laughing at ppl crashing on a water-ski.thay where pulled along by a steel Guide in a big square above there head.anyway the way ppl where crashing and the look of suprise when thay crashed was so funny I couldn't stop laughing so much I couldn't breathe my stomach hurt real bad and my face hurt bad from smiling so much.mabey it was cos I was on L.S.D...

re 2:16, medical input...quinsy is still quinsy. We see it somewhat differently to regular tonsillitis. It's still called quinsy, but also peritonsillar abscess.

[@kissykrissy33]

Re: The Fly... is it possible his constituents poisoned him and subsequently lied about his cause of death? Sounds kinda like a sussy lie to me

[@AxionSmurf]

Yeah I thought that sounded really unlikely too, but I don't think any U.S. government agency provides death by fly in the throat mortality statistics so there might be an amazing number of deaths in that manner. Possibly 100's of billions, even.

Just watched this again and have to mention that the word "sow" rhymes with "how" and not "hoe". Also, I think the island you pronounced as Corsia might be CorsiCa. Again, I really do enjoy your content, but maybe have someone review the narration before uploading it? Just a thought.

[@DemoniaWhisper]

Dózsa György's death was pretty metal to be honest. Also his name is spelled like: Dózs ( like the meme word Dodge) plus an "a" so Dodge-a while the Gy sound in György is similar to the D in dew, ö can be pronounced like the E in herd, r is pronounced the same then again a gy. But alas the pronounciation provided by google translate is also somewhat on point :D

I believe the fly story. A few summers ago I went for a picnic with my brother, who was making my laugh li!e a loon with his joshing. That's when a gnat, of all things, flew into my mouth. I instinctively drew a sharp breath and sucked the insect down my throat. I tell you, that choking sensation was horrifying! My brother rushed over to perform the Heimlich Manuever, but by then I had coughed the gnat out. Today we joke about the incident, because it reminds us of a silly song we sang as children: "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed I Fly."

In the deadly joke the jester is referring to having sex down in the bushes next door and that he's bothered by having been called by his own wretched king to tell jokes whilst his balls are now even more swollen. The word deer here has been transliterated from "game", and hanging from tail transliterated from "arse in the air". P.S. the first four deaths so far are heart attacks.
