[@MynameisBrianZX]

Just love the confirmation that it was never rigged against Ryan, just that the algorithm considered a bunch of other factors other than quiz points.

[@pvg342]

I think another aspect of the embarrassment of being defenestrated is the fact people would toss refuse (including bodily waste) from windows. “This person was so shitty, we have to rid ourselves of him like we do feces” kind of thinking

As a czech person, I just wanna shout out Shane for getting all those names right! Czech pronounciation can be pretty tricky but you honestly nailed it, save for some little errors edit: man autocorrect is wild! for some reason it turned ' the professor' into 'shane' :/

[@luciedenoire]

he absolutely nailed the Ř

[@Humasexuality]

[@anitaroom]

Yeah idk who this “Shane” is, but yeah the professor did a great job

[@JUNOGORE]

right like the Ř was so good i was so impressed

[@emmaface]

I'm confused shane wasn't on this episode 🧐

[@frootertooter]

New theory: The fake professor is the genie impersonating the Professor because Ryan's wish last season was to win. Because of the wish, the genie has to keep the show going without the real professor, and make Ryan win every match (kinda like how genies would sometimes twist people's words when it comes to wishes). This is also the reason why the songs this season seem quite a bit more mellow compared to the previous seasons (these puppets aren't actually alive, and are just the genie pretending to be them). It's also likely why the horse wife doesn't have any new voice, but is rather a really default sounding voice. I'm not quite sure what the lotion is doing, but I suspect the real professor is gonna come back in some really cool way o.O

[@WaspandUnicorn]

I like this theory! I feel like Azmodeus will come back into play somehow. Maybe that's where the lotion will lead? 🤔 I'm loving the lore, this series is so phenomenal.

[@pickleslovesjelly]

I was thinking that maybe the lotion will turn Ryan into a puppet somehow. The Professor is weirdly insistent about it so maybe it’s some sort of twist that the genie wants or the Professor needs to come back into reality

[@aureliegilbert1523]

Genies wishes are often double edged so like...Ryan having to deal with what he's done (murdered our fuzzy little proff) and having no one acknowledge it and always winning would be fitting

[@Hannah-nt8rj]

What is the real professor is in the box and that gives the fake professor the power of the professor because of the tube attached to the the stage?

[@ray2a419]

I was also thinking this had something to do with Ryan's wish to win! And it also could explain the emphasis on the B Boys, but not the C dogs, which is known to be the professor's favorite bit, because the genie doesn't know about the professor's sense of humor

[@cleffa173]

The fact that actual Horse Crap was a plot point not once, but TWICE is hilarious.

[@alzbetal1499]

That’s just the disgusting nature of Czech people alright 😂

If that lotion doesn't turn Ryan into a puppet I don't know what I'll do.

[@Karin_Allen]

It's not meant to turn him into a puppet; it's meant to tenderize him!

[@wb3159]

Its seasoning. He is the beef boy and puppet craves flesh.

[@Chester200100]

The lotion is so that Ryan has easier time rubbing the lamp

[@himesilva]

The fact that Ryan called sunlight coming through a window "natty light" just proves to me how much frat boy energy this man possesses

BDG works really well with Ryan and Shane i love all the silly little jokes and discussions i cant stop smiling 😭😭😭

[@valkyrie-randgris]

BDG is always a joy to watch with anyone. He's like the hot sauce of people. 😂

[@alykat09]

I’ve been waiting for BDG to end up in a Watcher video since he moved to LA! So excited! And it feels very appropriate for him to turn up as this show is becoming a psychological horror. Lol.

[@omarsanchez8956]

What I love the most about this season is that Ryan is perceptive about this Professor, this makes it more exciting

[@sleepyghostproductions7529]

I just rewatched the "aglathim" part, and the Professor TOTALLY has a trophy! It's sitting on top of the printer on the same side of the screen as BDG's face. However, the lotion is on Ryan's side. I do wonder what this could mean for our beef boy... (the "post credits" / behind the scenes stuff was so cool!)

[@BritneyT.]

I didn't notice that!

[@jasmineooi6993]

There was also a conical flask next to the moisturizer.

[@augusthawley5504]

the lore of this show and the fate of the professor make me more anxious than any horror movie i've ever seen

[@Karin_Allen]

So you're not worried about Ryan, eh? That makes two of us. 😈

‘Defenestration’ is such a beautiful word! Normalise it in everyday conversation.

[@who8967]

i never thought i would be so intrigued by the lore of a historical puppet professor

[@trainwreck109]

We need a Puppet History on Jan Zizka. Dude was a legit badass. Even fought in battle blind and still kicked ass.

[@cellina.starfire]

I must know more!

[@Ilivedbih]

He was badass and honourable

[@Lulu-qx1df]

I’m so glad that the professor is back and there is definitely nothing wrong with him^^

[@RoryMarverous]

As a Czech person, I found this especially hillarious. It's the stuff you learn about in primary school already and to hear it mentioned here was honestly surreal. Jan Hus is in a KZbin video! Wild...I love Puppet History. Thank you for including us in as one of your lessons Professor!

[@delarlie9186]

i already knew BDG was gonna know what defenestration meant because he is a theatre kid and a nerd, and i dont think any nerdy theatre kid escaped public school without learning "defenestration" and explaining what it meant to people

[@haley5274]

Puppet History songs really need to be on Spotify!

[@mollymcdade4031]

They’re on Soundcloud but I agree!

[@diegogarcicruz6134]

[@superbahamamama]

Who else lost it at Brian’s “#1 Window Stan” sign? 😂

[@DanGamingFan2406]

The Professor had way too much joy in his voice while explaining the feeling of defenestration. Also, 24:11 I don't know what the hell that is, but I don't like it.

The production values of this video are absolutely insane hats off to Watcher for doing such a fantastic job👏👏👏👏👏

hats off?? hmm i know how this story ends.. i'll keep my hat firmly on my head, tyvm 🤔

[@maggieyoung6827]

So exicited to see the defenestration of Prague! This is one of the events my mom drilled into my head for the heck of it because she’s European history teacher. Fun fact: the window where the 2nd and most famous one happened has a no opening the window sign

[@MadMadMarch]

Brian David Gilbert being a guest is literally the pinnacle for me

[@seren8009]

I have long Covid (2 years now) and am watching this to settle my nerves before my first Neurology appointment to try and figure out what's happening to my body. I know Ryan ans Shane will probably never see this, but I hope they know how much joy they bring.

[@BritneyT.]

I hope your appointment went well!

[@rheanathan4189]

Good luck bro

best of luck, i wish you all the safety and warmth. hope it went well :)

[@seren8009]

Hi moondrop, thanks for checking in. Was diagnosed with Functional Dysautonomia. So the good news is that it's not progressive, as for a long time my GP was worried it was rapid onset Parkinsons so that was a huge relief. The bad news is that scientists aren't fully sure what causes it or how to treat it. The working theory linking it to Covid is that some people's immune system reacts to it so severely that their brain permanently shifts closer to fight or flight mode. So my heart randomly beats too fast (which really hurts - think of it as involuntary cardio exercise) and my hands shake, and all that fun stuff. Honestly, the whole experience has been pretty traumatic (especially as I caught it while working in a hospital), but I've genuinely grown so much as a person along the way. I've learned that it's okay to ask for help, that I deserve self-care and self-love irrespective of how 'productive' I've been that day, and I'm far more assertive than I used to be (honestly you kind of HAVE to be to get anywhere in Healthcare), so there's a silver lining. I hope you're all doing well and am sending love for the journey. X

[@brow9749]

"What backs through yonder window shall we break?" made me do a spit take. 5000 points for an A+ Shakespeare joke.

[@2er5]

Amazing! I have a feeling Ryan is going to win every single one this season to make up for all the past ones and also, Shane should absolutely release an album for all the songs he has done so far! there actually really good and catchy!

[@84rt_]

They’re on SoundCloud! I’m not sure how quickly this season will be up, but other seasons are on there.

[@Tediruxevelt]

I think he’s gonna win every game because the professor wants him to use the lotion.

[@leibay03]

Yes a Spotify playlist would be awesome!

[@graceferrier8231]

This is the most nervous Puppet History has ever made me, two professors, one stuck in the past maybe trying to send a message (I hope), one giving Ryan cream?, and Ryan trying to find a lamp to wish the Professor back (I really hope)

[@AkiH203]

As a czech person I appreciate this episode! Defenestration seems to be a well remembered historical event among the people, it's pretty funny. Also, great pronounciation, professor! The animation is great this season! I really loved seeing the calculations for the winner!

[@katy1462]

This is the BEST blend of hilarious, educational, and EXTREMELY creepy! Well done, team!

[@eyeseajujubee]

As someone who studied and was fascinated by the defenestration of Prague that prefaced the 30 years war, this episode of puppet history made me so happy.

[@Indego84]

Here's my prediction. This Professor is actually the hologram ai from the last Christmas special that somehow gained sentience and needs Ryan for some nefarious reason to become real. The real Professor will probably return in the final episode and save him.

[@MrLegendofLP]

I think this is exactly what’s happening. The digital glitch on the Professor when he checked out the Victory Algorithm (nice to see that the victory algorithm is real whether The Professor fudged the results or not) and the fact that he’s getting subtle details about The Professor’s behavior wrong (“C Dogs” turning into “B Boys” for example) are pretty solid evidence of that. Not sure what the hologram is planning, or if the hologram is even the final boss of this season. Could be the Devil or the Genie planning something with the hologram part of the master plan, but regardless the real professor is going to show up in the season finale to save the day I guarantee it.

[@natalyn139]

ooh i hadn’t considered the hologram thing but you both raise excellent points and this fits with the theory i already had that this isn’t the real Professor. that bit about a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” is one clear clue, and there’s also the fact (maybe a coincidence, but an interesting one) that the first episode of the season featured someone who faked his death (along with being paralyzed) and had multiple aliases, which fits the imposter theme! and the ending of the first episode showing this “Professor” hiding amongst all the Professor dolls is another example of posing as something you aren’t in order to hide in plain sight.

[@natalyn139]

@@MrLegendofLP i also agree about the devil or genie being behind it ultimately. and there’s some irony in the hologram being used as a figurative puppet, since, y’know, it’s posing as a literal puppet.

[@romigithepope]

Agreed. He’s definitely a hologram and the box is the projector.

[@kennedychiara8404]

I think this theory makes a lot of sense, and it would explain the power box. But if he’s a hologram, then why did Ryan here scuttling?

[@hemagb99]

The after-credits is spectacular. I thought the last episode couldn't be topped, but holy fuck the music, the suspence, the tension, the lore...I got the chills! Watcher team is absolutely knocking it out of the park with the animations. Stoked for the rest of the season!

[@wwren]

this episode combines three of my favorite things: history, words that are fun to say, and my favorite internet person Brian David Gilbert

so humbled to be in the professors virtual presence again. thank you shane!!

[@greenfuzzymonster6447]

i want shane to be a guest like imagine it’s like: oh here’s the professor from an alternate timeline and it’s voiced by either ryan or sara. it could be a cool one off that doesn’t really affect the main story or it could depending on how they do it

[@azarinevil]

They can actually do a camera trick to have both at the same time.. we can have it all without interrupting the plot.

[@carolinemcgovern4488]

Professor Sara would be so cool though!
