The Canterbury Tales (First Draft)

Little known fact: The first time Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, it was completely off the top of his head while on a deadline. It is presented here now for your viewing...

[@ElvenRaptor]

I think this is the true origin of Alex's insanity.

[@TimSutton420]

I love how the related videos on the sidebar are a Robin Williams bit on Golf, Crazy Train being performed by 5 guys with tubas, a Marble Hornets entry, and a video called "Fallout 3 - The real reason Mom died, and death as a baby".

[@404TVfr]

What's it like 12 years later?

[@treesbutcool5038]

**crying while rewatching all their videos**

[@emilyjohnson580]

saaaammmmeeee

[@someguywithvideos]

I don't even need for them to make new videos, just let them be friends again.

[@dani_rose]

Call Me Strange Me right now fam

[@blueberrorthebean2108]

Screaming

[@therandomperson02]

1:57 OPERATOR *NYEHHHHHHHH*

[@wilbur653]

did anyone notice at around 2:45 he crosses out the face of the *tall* dude and gives him tentacles? Slender anyone? XD

[@dr.necoli]

You can also notice that he also writes "Tall" above the doodle in one frame 🧍

[@6201ize]

Debra: You know I really wish you would call me- Jeffrey: *slams pen on table* GOD DA-*videos ends* XD

[@cheyennelafferty1075]

This is so me when my mom knocks on the door and I'm studying for finals XD

[@neeks7046]

The references!!!!

[@TheEwkaB]

Hehe, I see what you did with the stick guys' head at 1:57 :>

[@hanguangjunpei]

I dont... Explain pls

[@TheEwkaB]

The stickman's round head has an X on it, and the circle + the X together make the Operator's or Slenderman's symbol.

[@creepydolly1993]

ikr

[@404TVfr]

@@hanguangjunpei cope.

[@dr.necoli]

Shit hits harder when you're watching this 2 days after its anniversary

[@KokuroSame]

This is awesome. I just got done with a Chaucer class this semester also and our main focus was the Canterbury Tales. This is just pure epic gold, thank you for this.

[@moonbunny24]

Y'know, in a lot of ways I am thankful that I didn't binge watch Marble Hornets back in high school like I'd initially planned to do. Because I just KNOW that I would have found this video and then whenever we had to learn about The Canterbury Tales later on I would have been incapable of being Normal about it.

[@maddiewilliams9377]

The "mom" was Tim.

[@richardphillips4900]

Troy is debra

[@-_leslielopez_-1619]

[@Jizmvideos]

I really love how Tim commented on this video xD

[@GippyHappy]

I don't even know what Canterbury is

[@basedokadaizo]

yeah this is more or less the whole book

[@obscurepopreferences]

MH needs more Herb Alpert montages. Really, it would work.

[@tatianabrizuela4457]

pause at 1:57 and you will see the slenderman symbol

[@chan-kaori-1867]

And the person also turned to slenderman

[@DianeBarden5]

I paused and my vision had like the bright outline (like when you look at the sun then look away) and it was the MH symbol. .-. Well thats enough KZbin for today.

[@demetrisiafakas8869]

dude not everything they do is about MH

[@DianeBarden5]

Demetri Siafakas We know, we just notice the little things sometimes.

[@Warrior2044]

Gary Busy is in this story too.

[@mavis130]

Whenever I decide to pick up Canterbury Tales again, I'm gonna picture every character as "some other dude"

[@transbastard2150]

Aaagggghhhhhh the referencessssss

[@Annabcoolforever]

YES. THANK YOU. I FOUND HIM AGAIN BECAUSE OF YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE MY NEW FRIEND NOW. (Sorry I yelled.. I got excited... lol)

[@kuledrumergie87]

It's perfectly fine. Your excitement is justified

[@SunoxMoon]

Nice animations and your background song sounds familiar. Joseph! You kind a looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Peace. :)

[@SilverSpade92]

0:00 - 0:45 This is what alex does when slends teleports him Who knew the operator just wanted someone to write down his poetry

[@mlpdragon]

[@Jay_M...]

Could anyone tell me the music at 3:40?

[@akisjthun6342]

Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert

[@404TVfr]

[@nyanchan7518]

Joseph took a trip

[@pinkration]

why is the marble hornets channel older than this channel

[@sebastiangreen5614]

this isn't the original channel where these videos were published. When the team organized THAC TV they moved all their videos to a channel named as such. I don't know what happened to their old old one.

[@Annabcoolforever]

hm... For some reason his voice is reminding me of another youtube channel I used to watch all the time that was really funny.. Ahhhhh... I don't remember the name of it though! D: He was random.. He had a talking giraffe... um.. he apparently had monkey brains.. he fell asleep in class once and everything in his dream was yelling at him... ok, Idk. But I'm being reminded of it like crazy. the voices are so similar o.O Thought I'd tell everyone :D

[@IzzabellaFlynn]

ARE YOU IN THERE MAS---- NO MOM!!!!

[@tatianabrizuela4457]

[@Persephonealix]

[@maddiewilliams9377]

@TheWorstJoseph This might sound dumb...but are you the real Joseph?

[@Kronosfall91]

Maybe I'm on drugs... but is that song from FFIX? I know you're not gonna reply because you guys are on the run, but please stop by XDD
