Ummm
Count Dracula could sleep in a bed and didn't necessarily need to sleep in a coffin regain his strength. It was the Transylvanian soil that he needed to sleep under so really the coffin is an option to do so easily. It sounds like a weakness when you say he can't sleep in a bed. However the story can be made funnier if you keep that idea in it. Dracula entered the bedroom. "Oh no beds. My only weakness"
"oh no beds my only weakness" is going to become a part of my daily lexicon
same lmao@@omgfiredragon
Am I the only one that noticed that at 3:33 he showed the Count from Sesame Street as Chocula’s dad
New theory: Mat created food theory so he can write his meals off as a business expense.
I don't think he eats that hot sauce in his last theory tho, but occasionally he does
That's not a theory, its a fact.
But then why hasn't he done a theory on Diet Coke? We all know that that is his biggest expense. If he couldn't write that off, his wealth would rival Scrooge McDuck's

When I was a kid, the monster cereals were on the selves all the time. I used to get them often. They were my favorite.
My memory also tells me this was true, but who knows
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen you make. You, in shambles, trying to save yourself while talking about "KZheadrs working together" cracked me up. Also, yes, it's definitely Habsburg, not Hapsburg. The latter seems to just be a popular albeit incorrect version of something that is "written as it sounds, but is wrong", like "could of" instead of "could've".

Hey Mat Pat, this was a fantastic episode. You crossed all boundaries of reality to make this happen. Amazingly done! Definitely enjoyed this! Thank you.
Normal theorists: Evidence, lore, facts. Food theorists: Chins.
Wait could Mr. Incredible be a product of inbreeding?
The chins are evindence. is it not?

Don't question
Matpat saying "why is he named Count CHOCula" in an extremely serious tone is the best thing from this video
I laughed when Matt Patt said the last name Chocul is common in Hungary!
by the way, I've never seen General Mills on the shelves.
Read this as soon as he said it LOL
“When you have a name like that you just kinda have to roll with it” Mine being Barbee like:
It feels so good when someone like matpat is talking about your country, isn't it fellow hungarians?
Not Hungarian but feel the small times he talked about Denmark
Count chochula's mother is a vampire and his father is a human... This gives me hotel transylvania vibes
... I mean, dracula's chin in that is protruding soooooo.... crossover?
IS COUNT CHOCULA... THE DRACULA IN HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA???
The second he described Dhampirs, I mentally ran them against Dennis. It checks out!

Honestly, one of my favorite theories. Food Theory has always been my solid favorite. :)
9:00 Clara, I tell you, the baby isn't mine!!
Fun fact: The reason Dracula was called Dracula was because his father was a member of the Order of the Dragon, and thus received the nickname of the Dragon, or Dracul. Vlad Dracula is basically "Vlad, the son of the dragon."
That's metal bro I love it
I remember finding this out in TFS Hellsing Abridged, I never knew why God called Drac, Son of the dragon until I found out how names worked
What's the order of the dragon?
@@silentoccasion4359 an christian order to stop the musilm ottomens From conquereing more of europe
Accualy dracul dosen't mean dragon, just that the romanin pepole did not have a the consept of dragon yet so they called him what they tought the dragon ussed as symbol for the order was.They tought that it was the devil. Soo it more accuratly means Vlad the son of satan
I bet you there’s gonna be a “How to take a candle out of a cake perfectly”
that sounds interesting
I mean there better be
Knowing mat, there definitely will
There's only one good answer: witchcraft.
There is now 😂
But if Chocula's father comes from the Chochul bloodline, and his mother the Dracula bloodline, wouldn't that mean that he isn't inbred? As soon as someone marries outside the family the risk of inbred-caused illnesses drops down to basically 0, as you said in the Daenerys video on Film Theory.
Isn’t that BASICALLY 0 not EXACTLY 0 not to be rude but if both family’s have the inbreeding problems and both parents posses the Hapsburg jaw then Their child may so have the same traits
The jaw isn't an illness, though. So if his mom had it he could still have inherited it.
I've never thought about this, never wanted to give two thoughts to this, and this video has never made me happier! Thank you for doing all the work that you do on these videos they are batshit Insanity crazy and I love it!
Here’s my idea for a banana-flavored cereal: Plantain of the Opera.

The sweetest cereal my parents ever bought me were Multi Grain Cheerios.
Imagine the shame Vlad the Impaler must have for his great grand nephew, who sells chocolate cereal and has fights with a frankenstein's monster who sells berries
I mean considering that the heir of the Habsburg dynasty is a racecar driver, the 3 claimants to the French throne work in finance, the Romanovs and Rurikids are all dead and god knows what the house of Osman is doing, count chocula isn’t doing so bad, especially when you consider that his title survived communism
@@samueladelman6048 yeah, honestly. More people should have the mindset that, "my ancestors are looking down at me, with my modern life and good health and they are proud that we'd made it this far" Vlad might think its silly to tell breakfast items, but he probably isn't disappointed
Did anyone else think him trying to explain his KZhead inbreeding metaphor was hilarious?
Yes
Maybe a little sad
Oh yeah. Before he explained it, I could totally relate.

up until I started thinking about it with any seriousness, I'd been living under the assumption that he was awarded the title of count for making a good-selling cereal product. because knights in England are knighted for producing something that greatly benefited the country, like poetry or movies or some other culture. I completely glossed over the fact that count title means land. so I'd say that that land is where chocula discovered, and made, chocolate cereal.
