Ask Palpatine - "Death Star Design Flaws"

[1000Demons]

I thought this was hilarious! For a second, I thought that his cheek was his nose for a second. Awesomely done! 

[SouSporting]

how many times was the death star used ( the one luck and han destroyed)? if you have already answered im sorry for asking!

[Vahtacen]

So why didn't you just put a metal grill on the exhaust hole? That would have stopped the entire saga.

[linkforever92]

@Vahtacen or hell how about a turn in the vent

[marioandsonicrule213]

cars have mufflers and death stars while they survive have exaust ports lol

[nvidia20082008]

Heh. Good explanation, actually. LOL

[jmassane]

Disagree, the death star unlike steve's house or car, is a military installation, it is DESIGNED to withstand an attack. If some element of the design compromises this (like say, an exhaust port that is inadequately protected) then that is a design flaw.

[tomcokis]

@jmassane mm

[hageshiku]

wow, hes absolutely, completely right haha.

[mastergoop500]

i've been watching for 1 year

[tomekvonfehmarn]

i'm convinced!! long live the emperor

[GaaraFangirl117]

Some of you wouldn't believe that I have a heart. But I do. I have seen it. ._.

El oh el, this is funny. xDD

[podcastbard]

I love Ask Palpatine. Ever thought of doing world leader puppets?

[bonkasthebluetoon]

@podcastbard he should do a hitler puppet lol

[Curttehmurt]

its true its not Palpy's falut, if I recall the novel "Death Star" correctly it was Teela Kaarz's fault she forgot to exclude the secondary (and superfluous) port when she revised the plans for that section

[jasmine5000]

no she was overruled. She tried to correct it but the higher ups decided the original plans stayed

[Curttehmurt]

kay, I read Death Star a year ago so my memory's fuzzy

[MamaPojo]

This is HILARIOUS!!

[agentspinnaker]

actually the exhaust port on the death star 2 was protected with a shield.

[OriginalZero]

lol "i'm pretty busy being the dark lord of the sith"

[Comrade2261]

Hahahaha.Cars have mufflers and Death Stars have exhaust ports.That's freaking hilarious.

[Bettlebonnet]

@Comrade2261 thanks for fucking up the punchline you gotta be a yankwank

[Comrade2261]

@Bettlebonnet welcome.

[Comrade2261]

@Bettlebonnet and complaining a year later is going to change anything?

[Bettlebonnet]

@Comrade2261 of course it is dawg gawn it

[Comrade2261]

@Bettlebonnet Hmm maybe it will. Lol.

[THINKER43]

I have a question for the emperor, I am told by some of my colleagues that I am destined for world domination, I don't think that they know what I'm really like, can you give me some tips, like tell me where to start.

[mtduck]

This is so fucking funny!!!!

[QuiGonFan]

lolol

[anitabj59]

What the ??? I removed the 1st comment, but then i wrote a new, but it´s gone too. Then i better understand why you asked me if i flipped on you.

LOL.. it really is my day, everything is doing all the things i don´t want it/them to do.. ;o))

[MerkavahmkIV]

I understand everything you are saying, so your English seems good enough to me... Way better than my ability in your native tongue (unless it's Spanish, or Hebrew); so don't be so down on yourself!

And you used the net-colloquial "ROFLMAO" - "Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off" bit, so I think you get English pretty well.

[playwrightbo]

awesome

[ansketil]

This is still the best episode!

[MerkavahmkIV]

Yeah, this is the funniest one. Hands down.

[anipussirhc]

gay

[anitabj59]

Palpatine, were you a sleep before you bastard ? don´t do that when i wanna hear what you have to say, do you understand me.. roflmao...

By the way it´s such great vids. you´re making. ;o)))

[anitabj59]

Fucking vid. I only got a "still" picture, with no music or talking, what the hell is happening ???

"Shouting and screaming a whole lot of ugly words, like a 5 years old child, while i´m hammering my head into my keyboard " ;o))

I wanna see the video like everyone else..loool..

It´s not fair.. :o)))

[MerkavahmkIV]

Check your installed codecs, that's probably the problem. You need a FLASH compatible codec to watch videos on You Tube.

It could have been corrupted, or altered by another codec you recently installed.

I use the "Vista Codecs Pack", which you can find via Google... It's great, and free, and there is an XP variant. I'm not sure it contains a FLASH object viewer, but it works alongisde the original FLASH codecs, and with the pack you can play anything from anywhere.

[anitabj59]

MerkavahmkIV. Thank you so much, but i only had a problem with this vid. so i have no idea what was wrong.I got Vista too, and my PC is protected so not a worm or anything else can get inn, i use avast on highest alert, but i will look at Codecs Pack. ;o)

Palpatine. This one was really awesome, i´m so glad that i can see ALL your vid´s again. Keep them coming.

I don´t hope you felt offended by my last comment, i was only joking, so i really hope you could laugh at it too ;o)

[MerkavahmkIV]

What last comment? I see you removed something, but I can't see what it was and did not see it....

Did you flip out on me or something? Lol.

:) It's no problem, really.

[anitabj59]

No not at all, why should i flip out you was trying to help me. wich i´m really great full for, i´m just not good to write in English, but i don´t have to say it, everyone can see it for themselves ;o))

I just wrote your name and then i must have pushed the "post butten", ´cause suddenly it was send and i had not written any of the things i would like write so i had to remove the "comment".

I tell you, it´s NOT easy to write in English, there is always some words teesing me. ROFLMAO ;o)

[nazihitler666]

i should make a question for it.

-the sayed it was invincible?

-why is the death star destroyable then?

-emporor please think more before u make a thirth one =D.

[Hakidia]

They fixed it in the 2nd one but they never finished it >_>

[DJBrokenHigh]

2:10 - 2:13 = funny quote

[SMASHCRACKERS34]

FUNNY!

[LadyJadeLight]

Why does this cover up story he gives us... remind me so much of those that I've argued over FACTS with in SW roleplay? I say something that is true and everyone knows.. like, "anakin is the chosen one" and get a whole STORY that goes on and on and talks about everything BUT the point at hand. I think I almost DIED LAUGHING.

[ansketil]

Oh ditto - I can hear them now.....

[Godzillafreak99]

oh yeah and nothing should be cannon after 6 ecept this... the sith die, people happy and all revolt aganst empire, new republic next day, its alot fr a day, but with out palpatine or vader holding it together thats really all it takes

[Godzillafreak99]

i put that as a question darkraiguy226

[agressionll]

The Death Star is nothing compared to the power of the force.

[BugnutsRa]

Hahaha

Nerdy arguments over Star Wars.

This is better than the freaken video.

[Dr0pkick]

Agreed, these arguments are great :P

[darkraiguy226]

uh, couldn't u have the archetecht put a swirly thingy instead of a strait hole leading to the main reactor? i mean come on, anyone could shoot a proton torpedo down a strait exaust port, but if u made it do something the rebels didn't expect, ur giant metal ball wouldn't hav blown up now would it????????????

[sept1ne]

I just read Star Wars Death Star and the smaller exhaust port wasn't meant to be there. the main one was the only one that was needed, but the builders weren't informed that it didn't need to be built. Anyway, they didn't really think it mattered because they were so sure that the Death Star was invincible

[Emporerofkortoph]

Reminds me of the titanic...

[mzh3000]

well if you stuck a fire cracker up the exaust of a car it would blow up wouldent it

[cloudmp]

he talk with the eye! he use the force to do that?

[himsonli]

That is his mouth though I also feel it that mouth looks similar to an eye. But that has to do with the whole facial characteristics.

[dherville381]

omfg sock puppet palpatine is worse looking than normal palpatine its not possible lol

[elements201]

"hackneyed writing." rofl. great work.

[speak119]

dark side.

[RaymondR127]

5 starts of win, this video has, yes. :)

[Jeffy2763]

HILLARIOUS

[merules1]

lol at the end

[labby2]

'I mean, did you build your house by hand, Steven? I don't think that you did!' lol priceless!

[Witchking101]

well, comparing real weapons to a fictional one is flawed, and dont forget, the DS has sheilds which dont exist in real life. So, I dunno.

[TheIceman3rd]

sheilds dont exist?, how do you keep the powder of a lightbulb in there? glass sheld, how does the earth keep air?, atmostphere WOW its amazing when the student learns

[katey1dog]

Come on now, a few stealth cruise missiles-nuclear tipped- could render the Death Star useless.

Shower the target with multiple warheads simultaneously and we'll see how effective a planet killer it is.

[Jacksonguitars4evr]

Yeah, the death star was 900 kilometers in diameter so probably not.

[katey1dog]

It took one noob in an X-Wing to destroy it.

[Jacksonguitars4evr]

yeah i know im justt saying that something not aimed at the exhaust port couldn't destroy it

[katey1dog]

The missiles don't need to be accurate. Create a nuclear conflagration and the DS would need to stop to put out the nuclear fire.

[TheIceman3rd]

lmfao, theres no oxygen in space, fire would not exist , you need fuel flame and AIR

[katey1dog]

Oxygen resides within the Death Star. Pop a whole in it, and she'll go. Remember what the EXECUTOR did to it in number 6?

[TheIceman3rd]

it took one pull of a switch from an e1 to destroy a planet

[katey1dog]

Not merely will it cause catastrophic physical damage, but the EMP would have rendered portions of the DS inoperable.

[TheIceman3rd]

.................wow, nukes cant even destroy more than 50 miles, let alone an 8 million square mile globe of, ....what metal?, o thats right, something we dont have yet!!, ur precious nukes barely put a hole in the ground

[katey1dog]

50 square miles? Depending on a weapons explosive yield only. If we are talking about a vessel with the capacity of destroying a planet? Well, screw it! Give me the biggest baddest nuke you've got!

Christ, I'll settle with rolling in a dozen canisters of CN20, nerve gas the whole fuckin' nest!

[caboose4455]

actually nukes don't put holes in the ground the detonate above ground and glass 200 mi of sand around it

[TheIceman3rd]

feeble minds, there are actually 3 types of warhead, atomostpheric, ground level and sub level, high level nukes do more damage, ground level do medium damage and medium radiation, sub terrain do low damage and high radiation.

[IIsp0radicII]

OMG LETS GET TECHNICAL cause that makes us cool on youtube

[IIsp0radicII]

OMG LETS GET TECHNICAL cause that makes us cool on youtube

[TheIceman3rd]

you really just said that nukes dont put holes in the ground?, wow, and 200 miles is way to far for a mere nuke, go sit the fuck down

[nrcjedi]

if it got wet and it broke! lol

[joebrueske]

"is it a design flaw that your car has a muffler on it?"

"I mean, if you wanted to you could even take it and shove it into the small hole to your gas tank, but that's not a design flaw is it?"

LOL

[YF681]

"Cruel irony" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!­!

[dodopod]

Come on. The Death Star 2 did have a design flaw: a large hole leading directly to the main reactor. A random natural occurence such as an asteroid hit could easily have caused it to explode.

[wmoulden]

It wasn't a design flaw--it was under construction. If it had been completed they wouldn't have been able to do that. The 2nd Death Star had thousands of very small exhaust ports individually shielded and designed to close off if hit with anything rather than one large one that torpedoes could fit down.

[dodopod]

But he knew they were coming, he had foreseen it.

[nubfail]

What? What does that have to do with anything -.-.

[DanielBMS]

Only a proton torpedo could cause enough of a reaction to destroy the entire station.

[nubfail]

Dude, they could see an asteroid coming and dodge it... and it was under construction so of course there was ways to get to the core.

[Aze1136]

They could see an asteroid coming and shoot it...

[pirbird14]

Why does Emperor Palpatine sound like Winston Churchill?

[CondellisanAssWipe]

Why are you running for President Senator McCain.

You ever notice that you never see Senator McCain and Senator Palpatine at the same time?

[sixbillsix]

These are hilarious!!!

[snipeefox]

lol sugar in the gastank... ive never done that before *shifty eyes*

[katey1dog]

Design flaws. Even Stewie Griffin said it was a design flaw.

[diegodda]

So much funny =D

Keep doing the great work man lol

[JediMasterKadin]

lol, he's digging a grave.

[lightz3ro]

hahahaha that was a laugh

[motjaba25]

Lmao Bottomless pit, esscential!

[Gonzagalez]

lmao Dillion552

[Dillon552]

Plastique45. The guy is just using a puppet to have some fun, there are much worse things he could be doing. I'll bet your mom brought you honey instead of plum sauce for your chicken nuggets, so your having a hissy fit. Asshole.

[wop4life103]

awesome example and honey is awesome!!!!

[plastique45]

Get a life, you fucking loser.

[sith4life]

"is it a design flaw that your car has a muffler?" lmao!!!

[thegatebloodelf]

makes sense a star wars themed disney ride would suck. (no dis on star wars)

[Caramazing]

there is a star wars disney ride...

lol

[Caramazing]

WOOPS. ignore.. ignore... i didnt see the previous comment

[thegatebloodelf]

what is Star Tours? and i wasnt attacking the guy, its an awsome video, i just found what i thought was an eror and tried to correct it. sorry.

[waldoman7]

Star Tours is the Star Wars themed ride in Disney World.

It sucks horribly. You'll find better at a cheap county fair.

[kuchiake]

dude, why is everyone attacking this guy? its just a vid, its not insulting, and if he missed some tiny detail on something, dont freak out, politely mention it to him. he is clearly making these for entertainment, not to insult you, lighten up.

[xXYonnyXx]

They really should have given up after the second Death Star was destroyed...

[sith4life]

sorry bout previous comment

[sith4life]

where do I send my question?

[agathasharon]

shut up idiot sucker

[aceknifer]

O.o you've seen your heart?

[SneakOnProductions]

I had freinds on that deathstar

[DFSniper]

he makes a really good argument with the sugar comparison...

[BringerOfD]

technicaly the way you say it it can be a design flaw...This is a planet destroying war machine, its kinda expected people would try to destroy it

[thegatebloodelf]

YES!! very funny, but in the video description, it says Death Stars, their is only one death star, although the Empire did begin building a second one, they never did finish it though i dont think they did anyway...

[waldoman7]

it's still a death star even if it wasn't finished.

and there were technically 3 deathstars, though the third never got further than a skeleton before it was destroyed.

Guess you don't read the books.

[krey1112]

omgz i liek love reding teh books!!!!!!

fag.

[waldoman7]

what? random insult?

[PhazonX]

Well technically there were 4 Death Stars if you include the fully built Death Star III from Star Tours.

[waldoman7]

star tours is obviously not cannon, and from what little bits I remember I think it was part of the first death star attack.

[PhazonX]

actually it was canon, and no, it was a whole new Death Star III hovering above Endor, which was destroyed by a New Republic task force. It was destroyed similarly to the First Death Star, though.

[waldoman7]

that's simply not possiblle. There would be some mention of it in some other media. To this day everyone in universe says 2 or 3(some don't feel the third worth mentioning, but they know existed).

[PhazonX]

Well the StarSpeeder 3000 did appear in other media: A novel, Specter of the Past; and a game, Star Wars: TIE Fighter.

[thegatebloodelf]

nope.

[EsmeAmelia]

LOL, "A lot of people asked me this before they died."

[goldberry2000]

That is sooo funny

[CoolColossalCanuck]

I like the part with the coyotes circling you. lol

Genius. :)

[mrchazz78]

I just loved the all by my self ending :D

[NaraChan87]

I love your work...just mad funny! please keep it up.

[apollospad]

This is a really cool idea!

[Liquidzer0]

Why does the Emperor sound like he needs to take a shit?

[Spytrx]

you exceed yourself - keep 'em coming!

[darthspliff]

these clips are genus!

[oshimoshibigoshi]

Yeah...good work my friend!!

It's all about the content.

Funny stuff!

[carnut015]

Ask Palpatine rocks! You are a funny, hardworking guy Mr. Hogg.

Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing what else you come up with. (You rock too!)

[mrhogg]

Thanks!

[PiratePuppetMelba]

I want to have Palpatine's felt babies!

No. Wait. Nevermind.

[mrhogg]

I don't know if that would be possible, as his Sithy-bits are quite shriveled.

Maybe a force-impregnation?

[guitarfan01]

aha! the mystery of Shmi's pregnancy solved!

[waldoman7]

I am so disturbed by that comment that I think I may need to go cry in a corner in a minute.

[rosttercel]

Really funny. Not the greatest of ask the palpatine (I miss his little "duh-duh-duh" to the Imperial Theme at the beginning) but still one of the funniest things I've seen on here. Keep up the great work!

[mrhogg]

This one was before I added the music over the credits. All new ones will have it, though.

[afrojacks1]

keep rockin' mrhogg. just make sure u tune into afrojacks(.)com

[NMator]

Hmm, I liked it better the first time I saw it...when it was called Ask a Ninja...and when it was funny.

[mrhogg]

Man, don't you love how the internet lets everyone be a complete dick with near-total anonymity?

[Gold3n3y3]

For reals! Its not like we dont have the ability to just stop watching something we dont happen to like. We have to go around insulting people about it! The nerve of some people!

Keep up the good work, mrhogg! Im looking forward to more of these!

[mrhogg]

Obviously not everyone's going to like it, but if you don't like it, why not, I don't know, offer some actual criticism, rather than just insulting it?

Glad you're liking it, Gol3n3y3. Thanks!

[mrhogg]

(Also it's not like I'm not upfront about it being Ask a Ninja-like ... I use "It's like Ask a Ninja, but with a puppet dark lord" in the e-mails I send to people trying to get them to link to it)

[TNK8]

That was genius

[mrhogg]

Thanks!

[cedry123]

I have always thought just that about the exhaust port.

No wonder he was emperor.

[mrhogg]

He's got his eye on the whole pie.

[srta03]

I don't know, wouldn't a dark lord be smart enough to get a double degree? One in dark lordery and the other in Architecture? I bet a REAL dark lord could get them at the same time. (:P)

[Socran]

He does have a double degree. One in emperoring and the other in dark lord of the Sithing. What you're asking for is a TRIPLE degree, and in one that's pretty low on the priority list of "things the dark lord of the Sith should probably have a degree in".

[mrhogg]

It's quicker to hire someone who has a degree than to get the degree yourself, and Palpatine has enough money to pay for the expertise.

[srta03]

Where does Palpatine get his money? Maybe I should submit that one....

[mrhogg]

Thanks! The Emperor is pleased that you're pleased.

[FilmMonkeyX]

Wow 1) Thats was great. and 2) He's right.

[goldenpizza]

'IT is NOT a design flaw!'

Karmic repayment lol
