The Whole Story: Batteries [Aired August 2013]

[@casey6556]

The weirdest part of this sketch is how much real information it contains.

[@Deathven1482]

Casey Broughton I'm more disturbed how much of an actual show this portraits with its music and themes.... 0.o

[@MichaelGrandGaming]

Casey Broughton And the most disturbing part is trying to figure out where the real information starts and stops, lol

[@Deathven1482]

Michael Grand True! XD

[@VAB0L0]

Batteries are still frequently called "piles" in French, but this coincidental appellation is completely unrelated to Volta's Pile. It actually comes from the French verb "piler", "to crush", as the very first French batteries were created not too long after Volta's, during the Revolution of 1789, using the discarded remnants of the nobility. It was thought that by juicing the souls out of nobles' bones, they could be stored within a crystalline compound and produce energy for a later date. Due to the abundance of guillotined noblemen, many different takes on the French pile were attempted, and though unsuccessful, this model would later become the inspiration for Soul gems in the Elder Scrolls franchise. And that's a Rock Fact!

[@Nedla]

VAB0L0 You gotta love those rock facts. (especially over the garden wall)

[@JazzLafayette]

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the amount of scripting that must go into these segments to make them so fluid.

[@ErikYoungren]

I fully expect that someday Paul will write one of these sketches using only correct, yet wholly unbelievable, information. The world is weird out there. It's why I try to stay inside, after all.

[@jacobb5484]

do it paul

[@zechariahunderwood5851]

i never get tired of showing this in my physics class!

[@1ManJusticeLeague]

"Photoshop Regular Sitter" in the credits thoroughly got me

[@enoughofyourkoicarp]

I love the idea that there's someone out there who actually takes these seriously. XD

[@1Pandaking]

enoughofyourkoicarp it's kind of easy for that to happen since he mixes in real information into it. such as the terracotta pots

[@Duskstone89]

Wait, you mean this is fake?

[@EmmanuelMess]

Like ~30%

[@LFCrocksToronto]

Please bring these back, these are halarious! History and comedy at it's best!

[@ojpaws]

I miss these

[@Durugai]

So nice to finally know .. the whole story.

[@regular_ian]

this may be my favourite lrr video (although there are a lot of good ones)

[@loadingreadylover620]

Waiting for bagels: the hole story

[@DenzaMan]

Hahaha... you think my laptop battery is powerful... stupid 5 minute charge. (Love this The Whole Story, like usual)

[@Flocko_]

This is the only one of these that I know enough about the subject to realize that it wasn't all bs. Are there real facts hidden in the other "The Whole Story"'s?

[@JamesAdams-nd1td]

Yeah. That's the secret joke in all of them.

[@zachary14241]

Give this man a Nobel prize!

[@movieman4738]

I don't know why but the intro to this show always makes me laugh

[@JWK1101]

I do love The Whole Story.

[@HSKCHER]

I see you're no longer putting the original airdate in the title of the video, could you still put it in the description, for clarity's sake?

[@maddisondog01]

-_- -_- -_-

[@HSKCHER]

The chosen thing When they uploaded it it didn't mention the original airdate in either the title or the description.

[@TheTurtleinShades]

What is the link at the end of the video why does it lead nowhere what is this all about!

[@camolo24]

Poor Bacon, lead and tomato sandwich. Dear friend, you will be missed.

[@brianwise5850]

Bipedal battle robots???? Where do i get one of those?

[@jacobb5484]

[@Firemac]

+Missy M. thank you~

[@deadjacksoul]

I love the mix of real and fake facts

[@bobdotexe]

wait, is "the watch" on netflix already?

[@CptRed]

BOBdotEXE It was... But it was sadly lost during one of the Roman-Parthian war of 58-63 when the then headquarters of Netflix was razed in the fall of Artaxata...

[@BassBaseAce]

My personal hope, is that somewhere, some when, a culture be it human or otherwise will discover this video and not be able to discern the truth from the humor, and what kind of image that will create of us.

[@dragonbretheren]

I thought Nigel Fitzgerald Brouwer died in the tragic wood chopping incident of 2014. Give me The Whole Story behind his revival.

[@Crossark1]

The auto-captions are the closest I've ever seen to the real words, which is strange, because Paul doesn't necessarily have the most common accent...

[@malcairadravensblood6471]

but not with sprinkles, sprinkles are for winners....

[@SaphireKochin]

Damn, now I want frozen yogurt

[@KingBytor2112]

Froyo makes all Pauls Funny. I know from experience.

[@Kizer5Red]

"Ancient Egyptians had Batteries" - Mitchell and Webb Look and Romans had plastics

[@faydunkel7832]

The singer though

[@ProfessM]

Man he has no idea what he is talking about. Battle Mechs are Nuclear powered!

ProfessM Not since the counterattack by the PLANTS that buried Neutron Jammers deep into Earth's crust that halt all nuclear reactions and long range radar and radio, causing most areas of earth to go without electricity or communication, and requiring mobile suits to rely on rechargeable batteries.

[@ProfessM]

Martin Drkoš Oh I thought Neutron Jammer Cancellers where common guest that might just be an Eastern Canada thing. I feel so sorry for you guys. I just the US government would stop using oil so we can build those Orbital Space Elevators.

[@user-ri4hy1qw4l]

What model do you have? Of of the b series I assume

[@AshenShugar90]

[@tad7911]

First

[@AkujiMalice]

Just a Normal Geek ... really? you bring shame to geeks. have some respect.

[@tad7911]

AkujiMalice Why do I bring shame to geeks? Btw, I don't want to have a internet fight over this, but your comment was very rude and uncalled for.

[@AkujiMalice]

Just a Normal Geek you call yourself "just a normal geek". You proceed to call "first" with your first post, a self-congratulating statement that serves no purpose and has irritated the internet since... basically since there has been posts in which to be first. That's the justifications and you're targeting a post that was made so over the top as "you bring shame to geeks" but don't want an internet fight? ... You're aware this is youtube, right? Ah well. have a good night.

[@tad7911]

So what is wrong with that?

[@AkujiMalice]

Just a Normal Geek ... that's kinda the joke. It's considered fairly obnoxious and you get a lot of moaning and groaning over people posting 'first" as the first post.... I guess it wastes the first post? I dunno. people hate it.
