The Great 'Great Ape' War (and how we won)

HUMANITY'S DEFEAT OF THE GREAT APES IS COMPLETE. And we have demonstrated our power by turning them into performers for our amusement.
Revel in their ridiculousness here, in this video presentation of a selection of Great Apes in film and TV. Those crazy monkeys! What will they do next!
(hopefully rise up and destroy our civilisation)
Thank you.

I like how 2024 pyrion is in 4:3 ratio and 1970s Clint Eastwood and his monkey are in 16:9

[@EdwardoTheSheep]

This is a perfect example the quality content I subscribed for

[@SiganQ]

Fucking great, PFlax! Thanks for doing that. Humorous, but thought-provoking and concerning. I appreciate this kind of content, and I like you as a person for what you believe and what you support. Keep being a human worthy of a long, happy life, friend.

[@TheSkootenbeeten]

More of this type of content, please and thank you.

[@iKanj]

Lmao, this was a completely welcomed surprise in my Sub feed. This gave me DotA archive vibes, but more much needed Pyrion and a nearly non-existent production budget. A1 content. Edit: Finishing the video, it is sad how the media experiments with these powerful self-sufficient animals. Too many tragedies occurred till we seemingly learned our lesson to be more cautious and treat animals with great respect on sets.

[@VanBourner]

I mean that Tarzan bit is still hilarious lol. I mean the Wehrmacht reaction to hearing a chimp on the phone being "You idiot! It's the fuhrer!" is funny.

[@Brian-pt5vu]

Keep doing stuff like this!!!

[@jonesy3million26]

I heard the every which way but loose orangutan's trainer used an axe handle to hit it in the nuts with when it disobeyed orders. You can see Clyde covering them in the "bang, Clyde!" scene. It is in Clint Eastwoods biography and was brought up a few times in the late Gilbert Gotfrieds podcast.

[@SirProdigle]

Good lil video. I find it particularly upsetting when we force animals to fit human expectations and then push them (brutally) when they don't comply. Reading about Travis especially, retreating to his cage and dying in it, just something so human about it that's unbelievable upsetting

[@feoleb]

Finally god damn man has some comedic chops it's about damn time he got back to it!

[@Night4ce]

I heard you talk about this in the podcast. Never bothered to look for it but then a few days later, KZbin decided to find it for me. lol

[@dimbles2350]

Great stuff, loved it, im all for this kind of content :)

[@benjaminkramer2616]

Pyrion. If you find this interesting you should check out the movie Roar and the story of its production. Insane

[@michaelkelly50]

I would watch an hour long plfax video essay. please make more!

[@ubertoaster99]

Wow, old TV is so bad. People used to look forward to this stuff, enjoy it. We've really got somewhere (better) as a species.

[@Marc_Laidlaw]

You remain an inspiration.

[@WorldEaterZero]

amazing content Ted! I just learn this from We say things podcast lmao

[@lillavargen8306]

I really liked this! More PyrionEssays🎉

[@dwild2565]

I think your editing was fine and I enjoyed the video cheers

[@inkblots]

I did enjoy it. Thanks for posting.

[@j-mc2144]

Shocked and appalled I didn't get this in my feed and came from the reddit post. I must now rewatch all of your videos to tell the algorithm what's up.

[@roudydogg1]

TY for this educational video, sir

[@TheSmokingLizardSWE]

This was a great reminder to a problem with the movie industry. Sure i have enjoyed several movies where animals partake but as you mentioned, we can now do this with cgi. Would be cool to see a modern ace ventura or similar.

[@bensdecoypoondummy1189]

Never even thought about this kind of stuff. Thanks for bringing it up flax!

[@yupjuliansje]

This was a really fun little journey you took us on, thanks !

[@verdicktrobin]

What a great video, really eye-opening. Would love more stuff like this!

[@DiegoVelascoShow]

Not the video I expected to watch today but a really really great one. Thanks, Mr Flax

[@potenviking]

Sad that we have destroyed their habitat and then made them play in our entertainment.

[@davidburton9690]

"St. James Davis chimpanzee attack" was also pretty crazy. Moe the chimpanzee was living in an animal sanctuary after biting some people. The couple who owned him visited for Moe's 39th birthday. They brought all sorts of party supplies, candy, chocolate milk, and a raspberry cake. After giving Moe a slice of cake, the couple were attacked by two chimpanzees who escaped the enclosure. The husband tried to protect the wife by getting her under the picnic table. The chimps mauled him, and destroyed fingers, his left foot, most of his buttocks, both testicles, part of his torso, and parts of his face including his nose and his lips. Very important to give birthday cake to ALL of the chimpanzees. Don't show favoritism.

[@Doomroar]

Chimps are social animals, so when they attack they don't go for the kill, they aim for disfiguration so that their victim would have to live with the shame and spend the rest of their lives at the bottom of the hierarchy, that's why they always aim for the face, genitals, and fingers, but never the vitals

[@bigbodge]

can't believe you missed out the little fellas in the PG tips advert where they're shifting a piano. Outrageous

[@Mochabeard]

Thank you for the great historical review. We are truly the greatest of apes.

[@theeutecticpoint]

Did you borrow one of the Toms over at Yog towers to edit this or did you do it yourself? Whoever edited this did a great job!

[@fugnut1728]

most unhinged video ive seen, i want more

[@spades04]

Excellent presentation, hope you do more ✌️

[@Goomberdups]

when u have no internet

[@tinnerofbeans1988]

Lets go Pyrion , more of this

[@AR-ml4du]

Super well done Flax, really enjoyed this!!

[@eleanorbrushia]

thanks pflax for the sobering and poignant look into animal rights and explotation for sake of entertainment

[@David-co5oo]

Soft Focus really went downhill when they replaced Bouphe, great video :D

[@finleyjennings6051]

That's what I was thinking it was similar to

[@LochyP]

I love the fact this is in 4:3 for no reason

[@user-eq8in2xw6y]

Id watch an hour long video of flax explaining ww2 history

[@dwild2565]

Nice video

[@tunakann7629]

How does pflax look younger now than he did 10 years ago

[@IdeonFukkatsu]

pyrion flax is really aging well. Kudos to you, good sir.

[@aiheim6971]

we love you ted we really do =] ima rewatch some late games now

[@internetonsetadd]

I learned so much about these gentle killing machines.

[@MrJordando93]

This was thought up off the back of the orangutang in TJ Hooker wasn’t it

[@greyp3]

That's what I'm thinking too haha

[@Heartist7]

Brings me back the time when I looked up what happened with Pankun, people need to realise that they are not circus props!

[@kopetain]

Thats a strange episode of Pflax in a bath robe but ok

[@h4wk5t4r]

How about Wu Kong in Dota 2? Does anyone spare a thought for the monkey king?

[@charlessturgeon8408]

Love this

[@trentb3148]

I don't know what this is but I think I love it?

[@rondem9158]

good one pp

[@PyreOwnuge]

PFlax are you implying Dota pub games are slowly getting better?

[@guineapigrecordings9683]

Where can I get the PFlax merch? I cant find a link. :(

[@Delta19501]

Brilliant.

[@nauth123]

Amazing content!

[@hmmhmmmmhh]

Has Pyrion gone slightly crazy i his old age?

[@Crei_sion]

Great video. Nice to see you trying something new Pyrion. Only kind of advice I can give is that I was so lost at the start of the video wondering what this was about. Maybe just a small introduction about what you're planning to talk about would be good? It is a discusting industry when it comes to animals performing for our entertainment. I believe it is much better now than it once was. But it's always good to keep this in our thoughts as new entertainment is coming out. Looking forward to seeing further videos like this dude!

[@Xhenix]

Great vid shining light on this crap. Luckily its being phased out. But still shit!

[@BrosephStalinGaming]

now this is content

[@MellowFriese]

omg Pyrion is going full monty python

[@Delaterius]

I'm here for Professor Flax's lecture series

[@johngarcia8827]

How do we really know ?

[@sorscha]

WELL MET!

[@Micheldied]

When you think about all the other species that have gone extinct in our time as the dominant species, great apes have all actually made it pretty good with none of group's species going extinct.

[@jameseden9380]

The extinction of species just makes me super depressed. We've destroyed so much of this world.

[@Mostpeoplecant]

Didn’t realise the prevalence

[@flmalegre]

That's how Big Chimp works. They infiltrate every tenet of your life with their vaguely anthropomorphic antics, and when you realize, you've already been assimilated.

[@DreadedVikingPenguin]

Pyrion that was very interesting. You are too hard on yourself about editing.

[@bigjaz8768]

*scratches armpit.

[@conor8726]

Great video, please make a series about movies in this format! (Maybe why anime is shit)

[@drewpieraccini3786]

😘😘😘

[@ooppen]

WE WON

[@KarleonBR]

Man this video would be a banger with shitty ms paint drawings

[@Th3laughingman]

simon doofy

[@marlonmarquez4798]

call me a race traitor all you want, but i'm team orangutan all the way. in the end all of us will bow to our orange overlords.
