So this is definitely my favorite family guy clip...the only thing that would make it better is if one of the serfs yelled "help! help! I'm being repressed!" haha
I learned about this in my European History class, how Joseph the II of Austria ordered all Serfs be freed and most were illiterate so they didn't know they were free. This joke hit me like an iron fist in the middle of class.
The landlords were illiterate themselves? U never learned that. My teacher taught me that they were oppressors of the serfs with indentured servitude. They never mentioned if the landlords could read themselves.
@ToxicOdiousOne There's no doubt they opressed the serfs. King John signed the magna carta with a cross - it's possible he couldn't read or write. Lords believed their duty was to fight while the serfs provided the food and the clergy prayed. If people learnt to read it was only to read the bible - books were so expensive before the printing press that the covers were often encrusted with jewels.
Of course, it's not clear what time we're talking about - the medieval era lasted a long time.
It's the same reason why slave owners kept their slaves from becoming literate as they would realize their bondage. I don't know what books but basically it's Farenheight 451reasoning keep the subjects dumb and happy. Modern view? I guess. The idea was education would liberate them.
@ToxicOdiousOne I think you're looking at history from a modern viewpoint. The serfs didn't learn to read and write because books were so expensive. Many lords and kings of the era were illiterate and it was only really the clergy that could read. Most people would not see the need for it.
What do you mean by freedom? And which books of the time would teach them about it?
I love this joke, one of my all time FG favourites, It was so random how it was slotted in the rest of that episode. I cracked up for so long the first time I saw it... that Seth guy who writes this is a bit of genious I reckon!
Almost as funny as the Constitutional Pesents from Monty Python.........well not really...nowhere close actually..but only couse Monty Python's so brillent...
Some of the videos uploaded were actually removed due to copyright violation already by youtube... I'll keep uploading random stuff and hopefully they'll keep most of it since its fair-use :)
This was sooo random :))

The serfs were prevented from gaining literacy because they would learn of freedom and their bondage.
