It's a prosperous kingdom where everyone is literate
Actually they’re the only literate ones. College graduates. So naturally they’re the ones with the most free time.
the woman is probably a witch though.
Their prosperous because they pillaged the NPC's.
right? i was like what kind of "peasants" can read??
It depends on what time and country as to weather peasants can read or not.
I feel like I could have read the transcript for this sketch faster than I had to listen to it.
Maybe next time Joel can drop it in a community post or something.
...oh dang are we just reading it today then?
I just watch it at 2x speed.
Hey sorry I'm just a little late. He posted the video 24 minutes ago? You have the transcript? So we're reading it today. Sick.
@@frostyflames7864yeah. Yep
Devastating. I was hiding behind this rock, hoping to hear the Royal News, but I'm illiterate, & much too shy to ask what the Royal News was. Now I'll have to roll my rock all the way to town and just hope one of the peasants sees fit to spread the Royal News in a location accessible to my eavesdropping.
God gives his hardest battles to his strongest warriors.
@@steezydan8543that’s one of the manliest things I’ve ever heard, in a comment involving god in some capacity. And I’m not even being sarcastic or anything. The Klingons would love to have you as their religious leader. Disclaimer, though: I’m saying that as a person who doesn’t really believe in a higher power.
This is perfect lmaooo
Have you tried asking the bugs living under your rock for assistance? I'm sure they'd love to help you out in exchange for some decaying plant matter or spoiled produce now and then.
Be a man and assert yourself, I promise it will be easier to do every time, and you'll get better at it.
The king's truly _not that corrupt_ if his citizens: - Can miss a royal news decree without fear of consequence. - Are literate. - Can talk to the king during a decree. - Can even express opinions or make suggestions during a decree.
Why would he automatically be corrupt?
@@mikvan9849 oh you know how kings are...
@@mikvan9849that’s the point, this guy isn’t even that corrupt.
He seems downright benevolent. Joel the Generous, First of His Name, King of the Havers and the Insane-o Style Men
He likes wet sweater sleeves though
Hey Joel can we please read the video next time I feel like take things in better that way
Like takes yes
Id like that too
Well, under the video description, Joel *does* provide a transcript. It's quite enlightening...
Tf2 dude
Oh hey it’s Winglet. Nice
I don't know why, but the scroll hitting the ground is absolutely hilarious to me.
That second time when she said "okay, sick" then dropped it got me.
It was so loud
I felt bad for the scroll...the Royal decree being desecrated like that...the villager should have never let it touch the ground. 🤣
The sound is funny, like a cheap plasticky poster hitting a tile floor
The disrespect of the scroll really emphasizes how little of a shit people give lol.
I like how powerful monarchs and emperors in Joel’s videos are always super chill and reasonable. I bet this king isn’t even that corrupt.
Agreed. This king seems super patient and kind.
He's no galactic emperor but still a very chill autocrat
@@304783 dude the galactic emperor had like.. an unending amount of chill. Not even DNSL could bug that dude
Like, corrupt ENOUGH. But just not very.
Oh yeah?! Tell that to Marshall the Rat, such a Tyrant bro...
Best part “Oh, okay, sick”. Love that they both just drop it, somehow even less effort than throwing it over their shoulders.
because that's how I react every time I read a newspaper. I scan it for like 30 seconds, say "oh okay sick" and then just leave
Came here to say this
@@chris_jewell Just this?
This is why literacy became such an issue: kings were sick of people wanting to just read the news and not get to shout it royally.
Except kings never read the news... a lot of kings couldn't even read. That would've been the jobs of the town criers to tell the people whatever the King decreed.
Well what's even the point of having a king, then?
that is so wrong that i m ashamed too see that you even tried to get away with this bs kings and royals in austria hungary always read the royal news to the population that was a normal accurance the only kingdom that didn't do that was france in europe .... ffs even in asia the sultanates and tribes did this wtf are you on about@@lawrencetalbot8346
@@GBartTo fight and to dictate rules. The church did most or all of the reading and writing. Sometimes, in fact, kings were subject themselves to the wishes of the pope.
@@GBart Reading's for dumb people. Socrates never wrote anything down. Buddha never wrote anything down. Confucius never wrote anything down. Jesus never wrote anything down. Muhammad never wrote anything down. If you can't memorize something clearly it isn't very important.
Daxflame’s awkward mannerisms fits amazingly well with Joel’s style of humor
True, true.
“True yea”
Him and Trent
Have you seen the hot seat with Dax Flame? It's like a short, late-night interview with Dax as the host. It's amazing.
@@altusshow7574 I have
Wow I sure can't wait to hear about all of this important news! (I'm hiding behind a rock btw)
Stay safe out there bud
Sure you don't want to read it?
Dude quiet you’ll blow everyone’s cover!
I knew it!!
@@team4star1 called it
The girl's delivery of "Oh...okay, sick," then immediately drops the Royal News Scroll then promptly walks away has me dead
The king must be a very good one. I mean look at that literacy rate!
and almost 100% employment.
He's not even that corrupt.
He's not even that corrupt!
And thus the Royal Bulletin Board was created, and it was good.
It's always good, especially when it's not.
totally didn't realize Joel was the king himself till the end of the video. this kingdom is blessed to have such a nice and friendly king.
He's not even that corrupt.
Same, I thought he was just a messenger or something at first.
@@edwardbutler9648 same here
Townton is so lovely this time of year.
I heard they just restocked the market with fresh cheese wheels.
I'm gonna tell my kids this was The King's Speech.
*This could have been a royal e-mail.*
Definitely an advanced kingdom: people can read, the king is open to suggestions from anyone and scrolls can withstand a 20 foot drop.
I miss playing old nintendo games where the castle has like 12 people in it and is the seat of power for an entire kingdom.
There were more people, they were just busy or hiding behind rocks.
This king is too likable, I love him
He's not even that corrupt.
Dax's line deliveries were absolutely perfect for this one
Joel always finds quirky awkward ways to make me smile
I know these are hard to put together, but man I look forward to them so much. I love all your content - these just make me so happy. Not a dud yet!
I didn't realize that he was actually the king until the very end. I thought the king would have a person to read the news for him.
Wondering what the royal news was is gonna keep me up at night.
Judging from the maiden's reaction there was an excess of potatoes and everyone gets a free potato.
Dax has the strangest way of being uncompromisingly assertive and passive aggressive, while sounding polite and relaxed on the surface. It's so unique. Great vid as always.
Man that king is incredibly open minded and has 2 literate townspeople, amazing!
Gather everyone the King has news for us all.
Ohhkay sick
@@TriComStormonly one dude responded😅
did I miss it
this video goes insaneo style!!!
I like water silk being in Joel's sketches, she is a joy to have around.
The sounds of the scroll hitting the floor were the best part
Joel I love you please never stop being you!
I wonder how the new town rat is doing. I sure hope he hasn't turned evil that would be terrible
The king wouldn't be safe from an evil rat... even if he wasn't that corrupt the rat would still come for him.
Joel after seeing your video on how to make animations like this I gave it a try and now whenever I watch your videos every few seconds I'm thinking "Oh that must have been a nightmare to animate!" Ebsynth is great, but man whenever you do faster movements the whole thing just falls apart. Great animation, keep it up!
Gonna tell my kids this is how news papers started.
And thus the bulletin board was born
"The video shows how the king's attempt to share news is initially met with disinterest, but as the information is presented in a way that suits the audience, more people become engaged. It''s a reminder for us that tailoring our communication methods can lead to better comprehension and engagement." (video summary from TalkBud)
Complete misuse of the word "disinterest". It doesn't mean "lack of interest". Look it up, you'll probably be surprised what it actually means.
@@MrDino1953Google says "lack of interest in something" is a second meaning of the disinterest..
@@MrDino1953 is this like a joke i'm not getting
"Oh, you're leaving it... okay..." Fits the mood of this sketch perfectly.
Poor King. This is like his one social thing he gets to do a week, and his subjects are just ghosting him. Relatable tbh
Finally a good humble king
What a good king listening to the wishes of his subjects.
This made my night. Thank you for this!
Literacy rates in the kingdom are outstanding!
I love the vibrant colours you use for these animations.
Nice that the Kingdom seems to have a 100% literacy rate.
Too small a sample size to know, really, might just be a coincidence that those two peasants could read.
Yeah. The king's not even all that corrupt I think.
@@RuSosan Maybe a LITTLE corrupt. He is king after all. How did he get that position? Hard work and skill? No; nepotism.
@@josephhoward9631 How do you know that? _Do_ you know that? I don't know how he came to power, I just think he isn't that corrupt. Especially for a king. I literally know a town mouse that's more corrupt than the king.
Joel collabing with an OG KZhead legend like Daxflame is a great thing to witness.
It's not the first time they've done stuff together
They actually work together a lot
Shhh! Don't blow her cover.. you'll break the immersion for people who can't tell it's her..
Yet another banger from the legend
I see Alex helped out with the animating, that’s awesome! Glad to see you’re doing more animations, hopefully having another person helping out will make it so you don’t feel as burnt out after them.
Next time he should make a Royal PowerPoint, I think that format will appease the townsfolk who absorb the news best through reading and those who absorb the news best by listening. And it gives the King a job, since everyone else is busy working he must get lonely if he's not busy working too
I flipping love these animated type shorts!😊
I get so excited whenever I see a new animated video from Joel Haver. I love these things!
love these. bravo.
Such great news!
Thanks for the awesome content over the years. Much love from Alberta! Stay true dude!
In all the content across platforms that ive seen, these sketches are some of my favorite things. Joel is such an insanely gifted comedic mind and his chemistry with daxflame is peak.
Its always a good day when a new video from Joel drops
I heard he died.
The Royal Video has descended!
I’m edging to this 😩
I love little sketches like this. Sure I'm not a-chortling with laughter but I left with a genuine smile.
This is a great video, and I love the general vibe of this channel. :)
This decree totally could have been put in a scroll
I'd love supercut of all these videos without the animation, would be so funny seeing Joel standing on a chair pretending to speak down to his subjects
These two are so good together
Loving this Vid! It’s like Joel’s more recent sketches but it’s imaginative and uses the green screen like his past work!
Its just not the same when its not decreed 😫
This one had me laughing so hard until I was crying and now I'm afraid to watch it again But I am going to anyway
Man, this stuff is gold!
"Townton is so beautiful this time of day" - The Royal News
I love your humor, amazing work!!!!
Hear ye, hear ye. His Royal Highness saw a Frog the other day and it made him smile.
I love these videos so much, it's such wonderful insanity
I love the dropping of the parchment right as he finishes. In general, i've always loved the acting choices in these videos.
This is such a different and nice video to watch, i don't know why it feels soo good to watch this.
thank you, i really enjoyed this one
These are the videos I subscribed for
I love all your cartoons, and this one is my favorite!
Wonderful as always
Wholesome as always.
this is one of my favorites now
"Ah, okay. Sick" pretty chill for a peasant.
You know it’s a great day when Joel posts a animation.
That was beautiful.
I feel royalified. Thanks, Joel!
Amazing well done!
"Oh okay, sick." That got me.
Quite magnanimous of the king to deliver the news in person. He must take a lot of pride in his kingdom's prosperity.
delightful, you are truly a passionate artist Joel, but we all know that!
Love your other words but I can't help but smile when I see an animated skit uploaded
The Royal News Reader has one job and one job only: to read the news from his Majesty. And these commoners took that away from him. Godspeed Royal News Reader, you will heal.
That was pretty darn good.
A return to form. Much appreciated 👍🏻
another banger as usual
As someone telling people to stop calling me and text me instead I feel very validated
The scrolls definitely just had a giant scribble doodle on them but they wanted to remain nice to the King.
Epic news! 👍 Glad I read it!
just a king doing his best
This is my favorite genre of skits
"let me know when you're done" I love that one, dunno why.
dax has an incredible ability to make every video he's in feel 10x longer than it is
Great stuff!!! 🤩
