Brontë Sisters Power Dolls

[13Lucyanne]

This was legitimately used as a teaching device in my university lecture today. Moments like that make the fees well worth it =)

[TheAgent0913]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AMAZING!!

[brittyd89]

I want a Brontesaurus! <3

[kmandersonMA]

I adore this.

[MsLadyLindy]

"use your brain and you will make history"

[suzanne6564]

what the hell is this

[MartyredxMaiden]

this was very well done!

[RAINndhb]

we watch this in class

[cameronpowell]

The educational value of this isn't suspect at all, Phil and Chris. It speaks volumes about the history of women, and the ignorance that kept them from achieving, among other things. Good work!

[GaladedridDamodred]

This is so awesome it hurts.

[cherryflavourzombie]

We showed this to our English teacher when we were studying Wuthering Heights ;)

[TheMissdisco]

why is this not a real product!

[vampiricange]

They sell action figures very similar to these at this local shop downtown where I live. If they actually transform I WILL TOTALLY GET THEM!

[FilimingDT]

yum...feminist laser vision.

[Johnny123456789x]

BEST THING EBARRR

[joeplunger23]

woah woah woah woah woah. what about sammich making powers?

[FastRita]

My favourite bit is that the 'publisher' is an Edgar Alan Poe figurine!

[mysticblue436]

That was the best thing of my life.

[BriteNiteProductions]

THE JOKES ON YOU NARROW MINDED CUR! :) hehe

[partypotato94]

i'm having a fucking panic attack

[Blawwmkw]

Take this, you sexist pig!

[justcogitating]

My friend gave me the Jane Austen action figure (yes, it is real) today for my birthday! SO excited!

[hatsock]

I love Anne's sneer. So. Damn. Good.

[doctaslick]

pudding not included???!!!! booooo!!!!!!

[xpoondiggy]

reminds me of robot chicken

[ohthehumanity612]

@xpoondiggy other than the fact that it was funny and didn't shit or fart jokes, yeah. just like robot chicken.

[xpoondiggy]

@ohthehumanity612 just like robot chick..neither is really funny ...mildly amusing humor aimed at adults with the humor of children...im doubting if anyone watching this video actually laughed out loud for real...same as robot chicken...including the fart jokes...

[ohthehumanity612]

@xpoondiggy I laughed out loud when they unveiled the BRONTESAURUS.

[MissLynx]

I so wish those were real!

[samantham110]

haha fantastic!

[cate1142]

LOL!

[marianomama]

Every little girl needs action figures that come with a fire extinguisher!! This is absolutely brilliant!! =)

[maddie10989]

This is BRILLIANT.

[sexynerdgirlcom]

[PanWolven]

This rocked! :D

[wovenv2]

[XxVoicexOfxAxGhostXx]

Fuckin hell? What the fuck O-e That was so stupid O-e I loved it O_O

[quinnanne]

Poor Anne looks pissed off because so few know about her books (which, I think are better than the other two).

[quinnanne]

Poor Anne looks pissed off because so few know about her books (which, I think are better than the other two).

[jackhuskey]

Ummm.  Umm... Wow.

[SeastarValerian]

I love the random "pudding not included" at the end.

[Andy17]

FUNNIEST THING that I've accidentally stumbled across in ages hahahahaha

[Superfreaxx]

Are there any women here?

[DashofDosh]

Could the same thing be done for musicians? like bad musicians of today v. good musicians?

[maketeanotwar100]

@DashofDosh Like Jimmy Hendrix beating the shit out of Justin Bieber?

[justalittlebookworm]

lol this is brilliant! lol. i want a super-disguise moustache!

[acapulco214]

[ThePerfectScience]

YAY my namesake finally gets her recognition <3

[50srefugee]

[notanotheraccount]

@50srefugee The Brontesaurus IS the Bronte sisters, genius.

[wuling09]

[joeblowthehot]

[mactheburger]

***Pudding not included*** 23 people though it was.

[ridesdragons21]

"We're boys!"

[MarthaH605]

Incredibly funny and brilliant!

[SMDeathwind]

23 sexist publishers tried and failed to get their revenge.

[ASThompsonTN]

Just Brilliant!!!

[MissBasura]

23 people should be trampled by Brontësaurus.

[MissBasura]

13 people need to get trampled by Brontësaurus.

[RadicalFeministing]

Barrier breaking feminist vision. BEST.

[cjcouch1980]

Love the Marvelous Mustache Trio! What's up with Anne's evil face? lol. This is great!

[wuling09]

WANT. :):):)

[tackcatta]

She should have made him read Wuthering Heights... that would have been truly painful.

[DoYouHaveAnyCheese]

I would buy them all!

[bosoxrox18]

23 people thought they revolutionized the Gothic romance novel.

[KinomiyaMichiru]

That was hilarious.

[acousticblackbird]

My lecturer showed this to us in English Literature the other day. As a feminist AND an English Lit student, i have to say: WHY AREN'T THESE DOLLS AVAILABLE IN REAL LIFE??? :(

[TheHelldragon]

Oh, man, I loved collecting these figures. Anyone got the Charles Dickens with the laser eye?

[Una7654]

Why is the pudding never included?

[RoboticMilkshake]

Ann looks pissed off! Love this!

[FallenShards]

Please tell me this is real.

[aliceowl9210]

Tune in next Saturday morning as the Bronte Sisters face their most evil nemesis yet-Stephanie Meyer, ultimate destroyer of the English language! Will Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and the Brontesaurus save the day again? Or will Stephanie take over the world with her sparkly fairies? Find out in the epic season finale of the Bronte Sisters!

[wickedfeylady]

@aliceowl9210 GO BRONTES DESTROY STEPHANIE MEYER AND RID THE WORLD OF HER EVIL FOREVERRRR

[MissGenius3847]

@aliceowl9210 Now I REALLY wish this was real

[wickedfeylady]

These would have been my favorite toys as a kid if they were real!

[purplecat11]

Great;I'm getting these for my 7 year old Niece. Girl Power!

[rainboweinstein]

I want the Anne doll. 

[blue32ism]

[vballsoccerbballmom]

Oh, please, Santa, may I have all three? And the bad guy too? This is great!!!

[FantasmaLuna]

[totaltwinconnection2]

[authoress1]

ROFL! Love it! I sure hope I never meet that toughie Anne Bronte in a dark alley!:)

[GentleMama2Mine]

This is so clever and funny! Love it!!! Are your other shorts in the series posted on YouTube?

[Popi80s]

13 ppl very very ill minded? xD

[crapola1234567]

wuthering heights worst book ever

[gertstein]

@crapola1234567 your face is the worst book ever.

[PFXProductions]

I WOULD SO BUY THEM IF REAL!

[jeannekhan]

Loved it! Familiar, but with great outcome!  Ha!

[GunnarMcGriff]

I love that the Brontesaurus is apparently a T-Rex.

[rebekkap]

This is freaking awesome. It's like transformers, if they were feminist authors.

[bookish01]

Great, just great. :)

[MissGenius3847]

My jaw dropped open when they announced the Brontesaurus. The Bronte sisters and dinosaurs? I would've been begging my parents for one 24/7!

[zoemstof]

I was disappointed that there ware no jokes about Anne being the loser. Those are my favorite.

[toleodor]

In my mind this is historically accurate......if only.

[kafka17]

Brontesaurus, more than meets the eye...

[Resound]

Like the best thing ever, only better. 

[88animallover88]

lol this made me laugh so much! btw I WANT THAT PUDDING!

[gkkk04]

@cd3dnw - clearly people with ZERO senses of humor, no? Because this? is HILARIOUS!

[Minamiblues]

LOL. XD I'm so amused.

[Firegirl568]

actually its 19 people who dont like this vid, dont know who they are but they might be outta their minds

[ServosFLyingCircus]

I love it! It's hysterical!

[pepperminttea42]

If these were real I would most definitely buy them. I'm 22.

[meekachan]

Lol, thank you I needed a good laugh :)

[Niramco]

Who are all you people? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

[jennyallworthy]

Brontesaurus comes with barrier breaking feminist vision!!!

The joke's on you, narrow minded cur. Boomerang book-throwing action! But why is the pudding not included?! Hilarious!

I hope there are some English teachers out there with a good sense of humor who will show this to their classes. More wit in the classroom I say!

[onobi]

This video is simply awesome. No words.

[gmartinz01]

Wuthering Heights - interminable hours of reading about a bitter, unhappy man pining for some dead woman he's placed on such an impossibly high pedestal that she's forced to come back as a ghost just to torture him even more. I felt bad for the impoverished help and the dogs. Or did I miss something?

[letalouise]

This (awesomeness) was obviously created WAY ahead of its time!

I want a Bronte-saurus doll. Oh, and a mustache just like theirs!

[StephenBagley247]

My new favourite youtube video of all time! Why does anne look so angry?

[vampireselkiegirl]

@StephenBagley247

I think it is because unlike Charlotte and Emily, who romanticized the brooding, moody, flawed, and even villainous Byronic hero in their depictions of characters such as Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) and Rochester (Jane Eyre), Anne totally slams the 'bad boy' type in novels such as The Tenant of Wildfell Hall where the heroine marries the sexually attractive libertine, thinking that she can reform him, and pays the price...

[StephenBagley247]

@vampireselkiegirl

Yes i totally agree; anne's work definitely portrayed a more realistic view of society, as opposed to emily's (sorry, haven't read charlotte yet- i'm a bad person, i know) romanticised portrayal of violence and villainy. Do you think thnk this may be why anne's work was to some extent suppressed?

Both emily and charlotte though seem to condemn alcoholism and gambling (Emily's Hindley and Anne's Mr Huntingdon). I'm told this is because of the antics of Branwell, their brother

[vampireselkiegirl]

@StephenBagley247 Jane Eyre is fantastic: you should definitely read it! You are right: contemporary reviewers were shocked by the frank ("coarse") portrayal of alcoholism & adultery & the fact that Arthur tries to force himself on Helen when she is pregnant. Another major cause of outrage: that she leaves her husband - and takes their son with her! Apparently the treatmen of addiction was indeed inspired by Bramwell. Have you read the fab biography The Brontes by Juliet Barker? It is excellent!

[StephenBagley247]

@vampireselkiegirl

Yes I have got it and definitely plan to read it over the next few weeks, at the moment i'm reading a book called "The Crimes of Charlotte Bronte." it is somewhat dramatic, claiming that Charlotte killed both Anne and Emily. Very interesting but i am not sold on that theory...lol the author does present some very compelling evidence though...

[vampireselkiegirl]

@StephenBagley247 Whoa- That sound crazy - but good, like a sensation novel! I will look it up on amazon.Check out this funny cartoon highlighting Anne's impatience with brooding (read: jerky) men. I love her expression in the final picture. (For some reason you tube won't let me type the link, so google "Hark a Vagrant" and "Bronte": it is number 202) Emma

[laco667]

This toys are Real Deal.

[Neli42]

I want a brontësaurus with blinking feminist vision...even if I have to get my own pudding.

[DevelX666]

Now that is stupid... but hilarious :-D.

[TVGirl96]

BRONTESAURUS!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA xD

[gambit8457]

BRONTЁSAURUS!

I sure didn't see that one coming

[wfages]

What was that movie where the two young women were so into the Bronte sisters...

[quietpanther]

"Pudding not included" ... I laughed so hard I cried XD

[aysanron]

My daughter is mad she can't get these toys!

[stupidpablo1]

This is extraordinary!

[Ongarukat]

If these action figures were ever actually made, it would be the greatest thing in the history of things. Seriously.

[benitsang]

OMG!!!!!!! THIS ISSS THE BEST!

[alaughandeu]

this is one of the best videos i've ever seen

[nominallyXian]

Now if they'd only team up with Mary Shelley and Jane Austen, they could form an entire feminist-super-powered-literar­y-League. (I see Mary Shelley as the leader with Jane Austen in more of a sidekick role).

[vampireselkiegirl]

@nominallyXian

George Eliot could join too, with her super disguise mustache!!

[therealkraas]

Epic literary win.

[Flutterbyg1rl]

Super!

[blaze33541]

Awesome!

[kuona007]

so funny!

[mauvemailed]

They're just jealous. We have better toys.

[Heroineke]

it would be awesome to give such toys to kids! and there should be action figures with various women scientists, too! just imagine little girls playing courageous scientist who will fullfil their dreams...

[JennAndy100]

Silly boy dolls (oh, I mean action figure)...girl dolls can do whatever they put their minds to. GIRRLLL POWWERRR!!

[Markcobra2010]

this is pure GENIUS!!!!

[AhhExpoldingMonkies]

i like how they include a fire extinguisher!! haha and puddin

[scummbuddy]

I hope you all at least tried to get the rights to air this as a fake commercial during the Clone High run. Sort of like the Mr. Hankey Home-Kit commercial that South Park did.

Bravo.

[RVvideos1]

LOL!!! That's great

[61250teacher]

Where can I get those dolls!? ha ha Love it!

[griffenb]

more entertaining than all the Bronte books combined

[cd3dnw]

Who are the 13 people that didn't like this video?

[Stonesoul1]

bastards, that's who

[omnipotentbeing]

@cd3dnw Darren, Jake, Tom, susan, Philip, Qads, Jadey, Ariadne, Another Darren, Joe, penelope, Hazza, and Marge.

[giveupfaith]

@cd3dnw : guys who didn't get the joke.

[hyeronimus1]

[xandirwasmylover]

@cd3dnw They were going to buy them for the pudding.

[ferriswheeljunkie]

@cd3dnw misogynists? 

[jward199]

@cd3dnw I can't imagine . . . now who doesn't love the Brontes?

[mmyfs1]

this is brilliant !!!! It really does depict the serious aspects of literary ideas in a totally cool way....great stuff!! :D

[Jillianfilms]

This wasn't aired? If anything would've gotten kids interested in the Bronte's, it was this!

The most amazing thing about this video is that it was made with no intention of being posted on YouTube (since it didn't exist yet), yet it fits right in here! It's pure humor, and you weren't concerned with "going viral." Great job!!

[PirateSammy]

this is the best. thing. ever. my life was not complete until this day.

[cehakcehak]

lol :-D:-D

[IrishRedRose]

lmfao!!! brilliant!!!

[lhj313]

ROFLOL

[jimbobharris1990]

This is so not funny - brontosaurus was a HERBIVORE! You totally ruined it.

[ponyunicornrose]

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!!!

[Littlebeanshah]

Worth reposting.

[Princ3ssPurity]

Jessa says - I'm traumatized, and loving it.

[Amellifera]

Super-powered English authors from the Nineteenth Century!

[ChildOfTheWilderness]

It's so lame that it's actually awesome

[quadeddie]

It doesn't come with pudding? Well that may be a deal breaker for me.

[luaparrish]

How about two thumbs up AND A TOE!?!?!

[themediashow]

[furiizu]

[Bile67]

"Aaaaaah! Run away!"

[cutelilundine]

That... Was wonderful.

[maddymud]
