  • As if the Europeans knew the Indians didn't have the same immunities or that they couldn't drink alcohol, or that they were nomads. It was some big evil plot? Historical revisionism. The "Native Americans" didn't have any problem trading with the Europeans for stuff they wanted and thus readily embraced European capitalism and everything that came with it. I know, the truth just isn't very popular anymore.

  • Comment removed

  • lol its like thank you *big feast*...the indians leave for home....the colonists pull out guns....

  • Must EVERY Video spark a useless discussion?

  • umm guys...its just a youtube video...get over it..

  • hey, the "native" Americans came from Asia originally came from somewhere else, so I don't feel sorry that we took what isn't theirs from them.

  • You can't say it wasn't theirs, because they were there first.

  • No the dinosaurs were. No one feels sorry for the dinosaurs!

  • You're not making any sense. We're talking about people here, not some animals. Besides, WE didn't kill the dinosaures.

  • Dinosaurs can suck mah cock. we liquify them and burn them >:D

  • Actually, the NAs weren't invited to the feast.

    Some idiots at the feast had gotten drunk and were shooting-off their muskets in the air.

    Some people from a local tribe heard all the racket, came over to investigate, then left, and came back with food for the feast.

    So the NAs baisically crashed the party(only with better manners than the Pilgrims), and the (slightly-inebriated) Pilgrims baisically said "Sure! The more the merrier!"

    Then, couldn't remember much, the next morning.

  • thats mean, I'm Native and I know that was just trying to be funny but it was rude, please don't do this again

  • Ah, that made me sad, but at least it had a sort of nice ending.

  • dumb

  • Definitely not one of Jib Jabs best. Quality not quantity guys!

  • 175th comment booohhh yeah get in the house, sexy house thats right i said sexy house you would like to come in wouldnt you.... Ok i guess you can come in the sexsy house NOT!!!! haha you cant come in the sexy house because you have to testies and/or boobies thats right haha no sexy house for you old one. how old are you anyway 30 maybe 35? i think it best you go die in a whole. A VERY BIG WHOLE.

    pROBABLY THE BEST 175TH COMMENT ON A VIDEO EVER MADE EVER!.

  • i dont see y indian ppl still make a big deal about it, the U.S. needed/wanted land & the natives had it.

    all is fair in love & war =)

  • @Mayonaiseses

    Probobly because he native people are still living with the consequences of the past, just like the slaves.

  • @ 55JVB

    how are the natives still suffering with their huge casinos, i know some still live a hard life & try 2 keep their culture alive, but that's there own choice

    if there r some that still have hard lives due 2 it please let me know, cause i'm ignorant about it & y not learn =)

  • also @ 55JVB(continuation)

    as for the slaves that's a completely different subject where both races are @ fault(i admit mostly white ppl r), but as for them still suffering there is very little, if ur talking about how most black ppl live in the ghetto, maybe the government should get better school systems, or maybe the children could show more potential rather than killin each other, joinin gangs, & dealing/using drugs

  • (note: no racism meant by last comment since 1. there is both white ppl & other races that live in the ghetto& do things as such, & 2. i'm not racist

  • you are weird people.

  • u just ruined thanksgiing for me

  • @KoolThing14 this is not a good video on Thanks Giving.. pass this one up next year

  • Umm.... the idea wasn't to thank the Indians...

  • i dunno but wasn't it 2 thank God?

  • truce

  • Thanks Giving wasn't to thank the natives, it was to thank GOD for the bountiful first harvest of the Plymouth colony. The natives were just invited.

  • inb4 Spaniards and French claimed most land/killed most Indians

  • Comment removed

  • No. American expansion always occurred at the expense of the locals, and essentially the only purchase that occurred was Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase.

    This video is pretty much right.

  • there was also the alaska purchase.

  • And that, but it wasn't nearly as much of an impact on the natives or that long ago.

  • wow. well. that was depressing. kind of ironic that this video was made by a bunch of programmers who are taking advantage of everything they have inherited and yet, feel the need to condemn the rest of us and our ancestors.

  • Yeah, Americans are so evil...this shit gets so old, yet so predicable.

  • All the British colonies (like Canada and Australia) did the same thing to the Natives, not just Americans.

  • Hmm, natives kill, stole from each other way before the Europeans arrived. Oh, by the way I was being sarcastic with my comment. Ever race has been shit at one time, or another...get over it, and move on.

  • Yes, except none of them glorify sitting down for a single dinner with the natives like Americans do.

  • good one, but at least you dont got invided by the spanish =(

  • damn very funny. Then again all us brits like taking stabs at the americans.

  • i do not see how it is racist i mean god be THANKFULL that we all are in america well at least some of us. i am not trying to be racist but all minorities are good but the only reason why they did have a bad name is because some of them kill and do crimes but other than that minorities are cool. who agrees with me?

  • It's true.

  • If people are asking if this is racist against the NATIVES, they're pretty empty headed. Jibjab is offhandedly demonstrating the greed and cruelty of the settlers, so its an insult to the WHITES if anything. Native americans are pretty damn cool though. All minorities rock. The earth is getting tired of its Crack attack.

  • wow

  • JibJab's really got to learn to turn off comments.

  • How the fuck is this racist. My god, stupid people are stupid.

  • Is this racist?

  • Not really... im Indian and I laughed

  • Are you offended?

  • Hahah I agree with ApplePieA22

  • wow the native americans helped them out and then the pilgrims said fuck off this land is ours now?

  • Huh?

  • Lol yeah I was quite amused with a cartoon of the first Thanksgiving. "The Indians and pilgrims helped each other and lived in harmony."

    Yeah, until we decided we needed more room to properly pollute the air and started shooting their faces off. I guess the true meaning of Thanksgiving is to be thankful the Indians were there to be used as target practice so we could fight off the British.

    Though in fairness to America, it wasn't worse than what other countries did.

  • Ahhhh, glorious

  • the last thing humans are is humane

  • interesting so all humans?

  • bunch of BS the Native Americans

    were not living in Eden

    there were tribal wars, Slavery , even human sacrifices and cannibalism.  So the Europeans

    were not the serpents in the garden.

    they were conquerors yes but that was the way of life at that time.

  • That is the way the east was also. IF the west was given time to figure things out, they would've been at the point of where the colonists were while they are further ahead. East had a head start to develop and the west started later after the migration from Russia to Alaska on the land bridge that USED to be there until it disappeared.

  • yes

  • yes jib jab speak the truth native and proud

  • Native pride baby!

  • Yeah man Native

  • Well, wasn't that lovely...............NOT!!!!

  • Oh putain! C'est trop excellent! Cette video est superbe!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

  • Wow humanity sucks...

  • so, so true....

  • Love it!

    Now do Juneteenth.

    Please!

    PLEASE!

  • God I'm so sick of hearing about the Indians.

  • There are too many minorities, minoriteeess, at my waterpark......

  • noooo, too many minoriteeees, even in the big wave! nooooooooooo!

  • whitebishop1, your comment plus your username made me lol.

  • Well, the real point is that human beings are assholes. The big "virtue" of the Native Americans was that they happen to live in an area where technology wasn't as important to survive, and thus hadn't procured advanced weaponry. Can you imagine what an Apache nation would have done with bombers and battleships, not to mention nukes?

  • wow...Americans are assholes

  • lol, i didn't even know that

  • Wow I'm glad I'm Asian- american!

  • still American bro

  • Yes, so true, JibJab. Very good social commentary here!

  • Really makes you think, doesn't it?

    Happy thanksgiving...

  • its so true. we're assholes.

  • Anyone else proud to be American?

  • I am! I am!

  • what's there to be proud of? seriously?

  • sad but true god bless america

  • the sad thing is... it's 100% true

  • man americans are doudchbags.... im american so dont flip out

  • LOL! I love this! Too funny.

  • Where did the old jibjab i knew and loved go? I miss them a lot, and this isn't very good.

  • i know and I remember when they were first starting up and getting reconized you could use all the videos you put your face in for free now you can'y even do it with out payig thats no fun which is why i dont use or support jub jab anymore they have gone money crazy and ruined everything:(

  • 100th comment.

  • Oh so true. Lol! Nice.

  • This cartoon is very true.

  • what is this crap lol.. the jibjab i knew is dead

  • @pooponaspoon i kno its terrible

  • how depressing

    sorry but this video kinda sucks...

  • Oh, look.

    Jib Jab is doing a thanksgiving video.

    great.

  • We also killed them...

  • gay

  • LOL

  • wh did it take a week of school to lern this when the vid covered averythn in like 2 seconds

  • EXACTLY!!!

  • because teahcers figure if you actually like school they'll actually have to do something to earn their salary but if we dislike it they can just blame the students for being lazy...

  • Don't be saying anything bad about teachers; they do what they're told and can't do anything about it. They're not allowed to say that a student is to lazy/stupid to learn because of idiotic No Child Left Behind. As a student, I know at least 1/4 of my class are too stupid to understand that life is going to be pretty difficult when their best grade is a B.

  • You have a depressingly logical veiw of life, my  friend.

  • your..,name....is....AWESOMEEE­EEEEEEEEEEE!

  • the idiotic No Child Left Behind? Best grade is a B is a bad thing? Obviously you aren't old enough to know crap. Wait until you get to high school, especially if you have AP courses (unless, you're too stupid), a 93 is the highest grade in all my class in AP Bio. Life is going to be difficult when you realize, education won't mean squat, when you can't get a job because of the recession/depression. And I agree, teachers are overworked and underpaid. Thats how 90% of jobs are, "genius".

  • LOL I'm in High School smart guy. Also, what you're saying makes absolutely no sense at all; you're saying that education is useless and you're calling me stupid. You apparently have no idea how college applications work if you're claiming grades mean nothing. Good Grades=Good College Resume=Good job, generally. Any idiot can get good grades, it's just that students are lazy and don't try. No course is harder or more complicated, they're just different and require more/less concentration, simple

  • Really? So, you've never been challenged, at all? And I know how college applications work, however, having a college app won't help you. 5 of my Mom's friends who graduated 2 years ago still can't find jobs. One put in an application at McDonalds, after getting a 4 year degree. So not everything in life revolves around your college. And no, any idiot can't get good grades. I for one am doing homework, as I have it in every class every night, and some students can't handle that pressure.

  • Gotta love your ignorance of what I mean. Name me one thing better than a 4 year degree to get you into a higher-paying job (people don't care about degrees at McDonalds.. That's sort of obvious due to the nature) Also, any person can get good grades no matter what type of background they come from, anyone can get good grades by just trying; I'm proof of that lol. Yeah, I do get Straight As, and it's not that hard... it's just a lot of work, which in itself isn't hard if you can understand.

  • Well, flavour, you are right, but you are also missing MY point. The cost of a 4 year degree? tens of thousands of dollars. Even with a scholarship, it can be easily a few thousand. And so, your background DOES have a big affect on that. And natural intelligence and traits have an effect on intelligence, as does the intellect of those the person is raised around. A boy from a hick family < boy from lawyer family (at least in terms of smarts, not morals)

  • Then that's our point of agree-to-disagree I guess then. Too many variables are there, let's call it a night then. Money is always going to be an issue, of course, but there's one sure way in my mind to help me get a good job, and that's just try as hard as I can now and see where that gets me. Also I think people are getting pissed that we keep posting comments on this vid.

  • lol true. And hard work is the only way to succeed in this tough economy, regardless of which path you take. One path always works though. Murder and a life in organized crime!

  • Absolutely correct! :D

  • Good and informative!

  • this covers about 6 weeks of school lol in just a few seconds

  • so true, if only school was this fast.

  • that was good

  • Funny, I only didn't agree with the "introduced them to new diseases to which they had NO immunity", how the fuck were people who just found out the world wasn't flat going to interpret a genocidal pandemic... HOWEVER after they started throwing the small pox infected blankets on the reservations on PURPOSE, the argument admittedly becomes void.

    Ah well, praise Ghost. Thanks to him we can say the Norwegians at least were accepted by the red skins, the northern ones anyway.

  • u really are stupid arent you. we knew the world was round LONG before this little expedition in ur cute little 1492 rhyme. they knew the earth was round by looking at shadows in places on earth at the same time and seeing that they were different in 500 BC. its time to grow up and stop being so ignorant.

  • who's "we"?

    we humanity who haven't began talking on a communal manner until recent decades or we, w/e the fuck you are. Either way its wrong, "we" didn't KNOW the earth was round until the first manned space voyage, until then it was guess work and speculation.

    However the south and southern north europeans DID reflect what the bible said as accurate, as did most regions influenced by its cults. Point being it didn't matter what was known in 500 b.c. if no one believed it...

  • actually, figuring out the earth is round was supposedly what stonehenge was for - something to do with the position of the stars, i don't pretend to understand it. i DO know that you can calculate the circumference of earth by looking at the curve of the horizon though, so it WAS proven before space flight. just saying.

  • Actually Stonehenge has recently been proven to be nothing more than a burial marker with the discovery of Bluehenge. There are some coincidences that seem to inspire from it but they've really just been speculation without any form of backing.

    And to the second remark, I agree there were several methods in pre space flight that can be used to confirm it. But it was the same as guessing whats under a box without lifting it. space flight was when we lifted the box and finally proved it.

  • I believe he means we students.

  • He's trying to imply "we" as humans as a whole. I got it, my point was its a bold claim, also a wrong one with no backing.

  • even during columus's time they (they as in europeans) knew the earth was round before his maiden voyage. all they had to do is look out to sea as a ship was coming in and they realized that they saw the very top first. so therefore they concluded the earth was round before his voyage.

  • They knew this long before that also. Look at the Greeks, they had Atlas, he was holding a round globe, not a flat Earth.

  • you know what I hate? When people go around talking about how Thanksgiving is about Jesus and Christianity. I've nothing against the religion, but it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, seriously!

  • thanksgiving is about being thankful for what you have and give to others. but christians are saying to thank God for everything.

  • I guess, but the origin of this holiday isn't about how Jesus gave wealth to a poor town or something. Sure, people can say thank god. That's what saying grace is, right? But I just don't like it when they say that all roots of the holiday stem back to christianity and things like that

  • I haven't heard anyone say that the roots of this holiday all stem back to Christianity. Sure, Thanksgiving was originally celebrated by those that believed in God and in divine Providence, but this isn't a religious holiday.

  • oh, well I've heard people say that. I guess I thought it was a more common theory.

  • Self-hating, anti-American, anti-tradition, Holiday-trashing isn't funny, JibJab.

    This clip is a turkey. Could you be any more unoriginal? "America sucks, we suck, everything sucks, let's toast to what miserable douchebags we are!"

    Have that toast by yourself, you miserable scrooges.

  • i think it is a stupid to say that all europeans come to america and killed the natives when it actully was only the british ppl who are to blame.

  • Not quite right ;)

  • not entirely. The Spanish weren't too great either.

  • lol

  • embarrassing

  • HAHAHAaaa...we suck ass. MAy our souls be tortured by the spirits of all the indians we betrayed.Isnt just Americans who have done stuff like this though. A lot of you smelly Europeans have pretty shitty histories as well.NAzi Germany, The Roman Empire as well as Mussolini.What about Spain and Cortez killing the Mayans.Plus in all respects it was Europeans who came here and started this shit.Dont just give America shit when most of your countries are guilty of the same shit.Losers.

  • i cant wait for the 2009 year in review!

  • same

  • wow this sucks.

  • Americans are overproud bastards who don't even know where they came from.

  • Uh huh..

    Sure ..

    We have every right to be proud because we have a great nation.

    I think you're just envious :D

  • According to the UN Scandinavia has a better standard of living, higher employment and higher GDP per capita than the united states.

  • third-world countries have better healthcare and higher life expectancies.

  • Really?

    Link or it's not true

  • You can't post links on youtube, google for 'most and least livable countries' and you'll find Norway at number one and Sweden not far behind.

  • By the UN standards, yes,

    by other standards, no

    Taxes here are a great deal less

    Houses are bigger (even for the "poor" class)

    Cars are more up to date

  • How big your house is doesn't qualify as standard of living.

    Standard of living refers to average life expectancy, child mortality rate, GDP per capita and employment rate.

    The fact that taxes are less only profits those who already make a lot of money.

    Lower class citizens and the unemployed fare worse in a low tax country.

  • isnt thasnksgiving a sin? glutoony?(i dont know how to spell it......)

  • Thanksgiving isn't a christian holiday, it need not follow christian rules.

    besides, there's no such thing as sin.

  • @freakiq

    I agree.. It's i human nature :)

  • Sooo true. :\

    5/5 and favorited

  • its true , poor little indians

  • I believe the pilgrims held a feast to thank God for allowing them to survive, not the Indians. They just invited the Indians to have some food as well.

  • nah, it was to the indians cuz they brought food, but then the white people thanked them by gunning them down, lol

  • From Wikipedia: "The First Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the pilgrims survive the brutal winter." The Thanksgiving article is semi-protected, so I couldn't have just edited it right now. You can also look at any of the links it gives. Also, the Pilgrims who participated in the first Thanksgiving with the Indians are not the same people who would gun down their descendants, so the second part of your comment is unfair.

  • and stuff their faces

  • I dont hate america or something but,

    I think you people are to proud of america, Most of the americans just want to solve everything with war.

    but that's just my opinion

    Reply? Go ahead.

  • I actually would like to reply, but I'll do it on PM because I can't do the explanation justice with only 500 characters.

  • no, it's cool. You said "most" americans, not "all". While I still disagree with you on that, at least you're not generalizing all the way.

  • your right, those damn dirty americans

  • You can't prove it!

  • yes we did mate! we spread diseases during the war!

  • I'm American, and i don't smoke, watch football, or eat that much greasy food. Though there are people like that here, we're all not like that.

  • Same here... Proving that yet another person with stereotypes is wrong! haha

  • where a u from? =) Im just curious :D

  • btw, whats wrong wiv watchin' football? Is it kinda evil stuff to do now? mb Im a lil bit old fashioned... :D

  • My god your an idiot.

  • You're not?

    Well let's start with your sentences...

    "American are lazy ass"

    That's not even remotely correct as far as grammar nor is "they smell cigarette" nor is "cuz"

    Lazy? Speak for yourself

    They need greasy food to watch football and they smell like a cigarette?

    No I don't need greasy food, most of the food is either home-made or snack boxes (salty maybe..but not greasy)

    And we do not smell like cigarettes, they're a dying thing here.

    I could go on, but I'm running out of characters...

  • you have no idea what your saying , the europeans brought many diseases that did not existed , read some history dude.

    the other part die because simply there were killed.

    Sad video that true , but that is the reality : ) .

    Native still living miserably in the US until today........

  • 19th

  • they forgot the part where the enslaved and literally raped a nation of its pride

  • Wait till black history month.
