Histeria! Woodrow Wilson - $12 Bill

[HaggisMcCrablice]

Historically, odd denominations of bills and coins have been printed, usu. out of some pressing need. A U.S. $3.00 gold piece was issued from 1854 to 1889. Three- and seven-dollar bills were also issued by the Confederacy during the Civil War; by war's end they were worthless--too rough to wipe your butt with and too ugly to use as wallpaper. They do make dandy collector's items nowadays, though.

Also loved the Ross Perot voice for Al Hamilton. "Sad, really."

[Legion719]

Thanks for creating the Fed. Soon we will be using the 100,000 bill to buy gum thanks to inflation.

[alex134219]

@Legion719 should be glad or else you would have a currency as stable as a sinking ship in a typhoon

[Legion719]

@alex134219 I'd prefer the Gold Standard. Not a Fiat system where the government can print money at leisure. Too much of a chance for someone to do something detrimental.

[Legion719]

@alex134219 The Roman government fell for many reasons, not simply their currency. It was also the currency that brought them to such a place of power that we can still use them as a reference a millennia and some odd centuries later. If you have gold, then you have money, the gold is what's valuable. All our dollar was is a certificate stating that it represented an amount of gold held in the National Treasury. The dollar now does not relate to anything, I can't fake not having gold.

[alex134219]

@Legion719 basically I can see from your channel that you're one of "those" people and wouldn't understand what I'm saying at all

[Legion719]

@alex134219 Also our CiC isn't doing us any favors by hyper-inflating the dollar overnight to the tune of trillions.

[Legion719]

@alex134219 OK, I'm done trying to discuss economics and world politics with a bronie. Fact is many world governments have done it in the past to try to help the people, but it's always backfired. Id Est, the Weimar Republic in Germany (around 1920). If you want to talk about the issues instead of casting off strange general insults, please enlighten me to how artificial inflation is helping the economy.

[alex134219]

@Legion719 you cant compare hyperinflation of a destroyed economy to normal economics because it is an extreme example of a currency failing

artificial inflation allows an economy to be competitive in the marketplace by raising inflation to a degree that does not hurt goods or services but allows the economy to grow at a faster rate stopping before things get out of hand

also if your gonna harp on me for being a Bronie then fuck off you religious right wing republican

[JeffGR4]

This is absolutely fantastic, really well done. Excellent caricature and animation of President Wilson. And, using a faux Woody Allen voice for President Wilson, is hilarious. Into 'My Favorites' module this goes.

[slashermaster28]

I miss this show so much. BTW, does anyone have the Road Runner theme parody they did once, Big Fat Road Baby?

[Lordmaster36]

Poor Woody, he needs to be on money... as opposed to having money on him.

[werothegreat]

Instead of having money on me, I'm on money.

[phillip549]

why does wilson sound like woody allen

[TiminPhoenix]

@phillip549 Because his first name was Woodrow. Thus, Woody, thus the connection for someone doing satire.

[kousoulides]

don't worry soon we will be using Woodrow Wilson's $100.000 bill as toilet paper.

[Brownyman]

Woodrow Wilson > Adolf Hitler

[TiminPhoenix]

@Brownyman It can be argued easily, that without Woodrow Wilson in the White House involving the US in the First World War, the events that followed would not have led to Hitler taking power.

That's no indictment against Wilson, it just shows how history works...that whole, "for the lack of a nail" theory.

[brushcreek42]

@TiminPhoenix If the US hadn't entered the war, Britain and France would have continued fighting Germany for years past 1918. I get the impression that things were kind of at a stalemate when the US entered. My big problem with Wilson is that he made a campaign pledge that the US would not enter the war.

[TheFlanker35]

@brushcreek42,

The world would have been a much better place had Britain and France kept fighting Germany for years past 1918. Let them suffer for their socialism and monarchies, but Republic loving Americans shouldn't have had to die for those parasites. America's entrance into WWI, inexorably allowed Communism and Islam to take over large parts of the world.

[brushcreek42]

@TheFlanker35 The US, France and Britain should not have accepted Germany's surrender so early; Germany should have been invaded and had their villages and cities shelled and burned to give them a taste of what they did to France and Belgium. Then Hitler and other ultra-nationalists wouldn't have had their "stabbed in the back" excuse for losing the war and blaming the Jews.

[brushcreek42]

@Brownyman Woodrow Wilson+Georges Clemenceau+LLoyd George = Hitler

[KidderRules]

It's a cartoon people!! Wow, settle down. If you want to do something productive send these "hate" messages to your legislators. Honestly, nobody cares what you're complaining about.

[moneymunkeymoney]

ew. What a bastard

[knguyen406]

Pepper needs some Ritalin, ASAP.

[ifhgsfj]

Fuck Woodrow Wilson.

He was horrible.

[starzus]

@ifhgsfj yes Woodrow Wilson sold USA into slavery leading to the TSA and worse. SAVE USA! KICK OUT the FEDERAL BANKERS

[superpheonixfire]

@ifhgsfj i know, right! I still remember the stuff that went on back in his time.

[bukra65]

@ifhgsfj Drink more of Beck's kool-aid you sheep.



[ifhgsfj]

@bukra65 Funny you should say that, because I'm actually not even a republican, nor a tea partier, nor do I dislike Obama.

[TiminPhoenix]

@bukra65 Wow, you are so edgy... YAWN

[mikeno77]

Does this 12 $ bill actually exist

[RioGiovanni]

When did Warner Bros turn so socialist?? What happened to Daffy Duck!

[Dragonstorm787]

Is Ben Franklin supposed to be a Jay Leno impression?

[pqwilrj]

I love how they made him sound like a Jew.

[obiwanobiwan13]

@pqwilrj Well, he's supposed to be a spoof of Woody Allen (Woodrow Wilson, Woody Allen...get it? Hahaha, right? lol)

But yep, he's Jewish, so I guess you're right! XD

[MrHypnofan]

Woody Allen? He's not even from Georgia!

[obiwanobiwan13]

If I decided who was on what: $1- Washington: First in War, First in Peace, First President... First Dollar Bill. $2- Jefferson: One of the oldest president/dollar combos, why change it. $5- Lincoln: He just belongs there... $10- TR: Sorry, Hamilton, you created our treasury, maybe... but TR deserves a Bill. $20- Jackson: Classic. $50- Reagan: He's my least favorite of the "great" but deserves one over Grant. $100- Franklin: Classic.

[petrafied77]

isnt it funny how they try to make it sound like creating the federal reserve was a good thing? worst president yet=woodrow wilson

[WeenisLad]

I like how Wilson was from Georgia but sounds like Woody Allen in this.

[dirtyperry44]

Fuck him Fuck this man! Wood Wilson is a power hungry money grubbing whore.

[bsabruzzo]

That sounds about right. Wilson, the progressive bastartd as he was, deservs a phony bill like a $12 note. His $100,000 not is good too, as progressives policies have made that worth about $10 via the printing of money to pay debt.

[BenjaminWirtz]

@bsabruzzo

Obama should be on the Trillion Dollar Bill then.

[jcomd]

Sounds eerily like Woody Allen.Girl @ 2:00 sounds eerily like Obama girl. History repeating??

[vampire94444]

did anyone watch the episode where histeria was napoleon?? :) if someone has it, please give it to meee ! :))))

[pfizzbones]

His progressive agenda was the most damaging thing to our country. 16th and 17th Amendment. 1913 forever changed us for the worse. Damn Woodrow Wilson to the farthest reaches of hell.

[YoungHistorian101]

he wasent that bad... but he did get us into world war one even though he promised not to..... sigh...politics....

[bsabruzzo]

@YoungHistorian101 Did you say W. Wilson wasn't that bad? Let's see why that's wrong. Pres. Wilson took the army and segregated the blacks and the whites. He created the Federal Reserve, that which failed at it's job starting on day one (great depression, loss of the gold standard, monetizing our debt, busting bubbles, and 2008's debacle). His idea, the League of Nations, failed then became the UN. The FDA was his and that has been about as successful as if we didn't have it.

[YoungHistorian101]

@bsabruzzo actuellt the food and drug act came during the administration of theodoore roosavelt.....

[bsabruzzo]

@YoungHistorian101 You are correct. My error. The progressive T. Roosevelt did start this. Appologize for jumping the gun on that one.

[besthax13]

no, 16th & 17th were great amendments. How is the 17 amendment, a direct election of US senators, a bad thing, I can see how you dont like income taxes, no one does, but why that?

[pfizzbones]

Because state legislatures appointed the Senators before that. Americans had more leverage with the states then. You deal with problems on a local level, the way the founders had it before. Your Representatives already have the job in DC, your Senators were meant to be directly tied to the states. See how the state's rights dissolve eventually? Too much federal involvement.You lose track of the people of your own state, with that amendment.People take a second seat. We need to keep it local.

[indianajoneszilla]

@pfizzbones .... And slowly let the Government lose touch and completely have the will of the USA to be completely eroded. Personally, I think it's good to have the Government right where it is.

[darknessvs]

I was force to watch this in class but oh well i wish wodrow wison is actually in a 12 dolar bill

[wheels85]

This cartoon came out when I was like 11 or 12. I'm now 24. I miss it.

[SuperUSMC09]

the treaty wasn't his fault it was Britain and france who wanted that and the us wasn't a super power at that time so they didn't really have a say in the matter. wilson was a good president and every one who says he was the worst need to get educated

[bsabruzzo]

@SuperUSMC09 There's educated and then there's learning the actual history. Wilson was a racist, he created gov't programs that didn't work and he wanted to get rid of the US Constitution. Now, if you think that's a good president, you must have loved Nixon.

[BenjaminWirtz]

@bsabruzzo

Yea wilson was pretty bad, as was FDR, Grover Cleveland, Harding, and Coolidge now those are some good presidents.

[GoMidoriIsCool]

the child labor thing why did they put that in there!? that's not funny thats sad! :(

[swordninja567]

I think that was the point

[trent0090]

I'll give you credit he easily was the worst president for the U.S. Though Wilson was the worst president for the world.

[trent0090]

That was funny, though I still think he was the worst president ever. The treaty of Versailles was the reason why a man like Hitler could come to power.

[slimpanther33]

Nah, J.B. was the worst, Only one to watch the country fall into a war with itself

[maddog58steelers]

Wilson didn't approve of the revenge sought by France and Britian on Germany, and the U.S. senate refused to ratify the treaty, dening the U.S. entry into the League of Nations and making it an unworkable oragnazation.

[MizuTakishima2]

This is so funny xD I especially like that crazy red-haired girl. Her laugh always cracked me up, and it still does! XD

[kiska1444]

He sounds like Christopher Walkin! And it's true he did not talk like that. He was born in Virginia and was an undeniable racist and sexist but all presidents have their flaws:-) Yes, the 19th amendment was signed after the war but more for public opinion and to reward women who worked during the war than because it followed his own personal beliefs. None the less he was one of the best presidents and I gotta love him because he was a History professor:-)

[KingDT2007]

they were trying to make him sound like woody allen

[Nohname1]

Sucks they took it off the air. Glad I found it here though.

[AlSween]

this show helped me get a B in world history

[MadTVNG]

I love how all the animations in the 90's Warner cartoons look alike.

[NegaRose13]

I NEVER got a chance to watch this show. As far as I remember I only got a chance to watch some of it at around 6:00 AM on certain weekdays. By the time I was 5-6 it wasn't even in syndication. How sad.

[CaptainDesiderio]

Wilson DID NOT talk like that.

[combate]

it's woody allen meets woodrow wilson

[bigpopparamma]

They had all known celebrities to portray certain historical figures:

Bob Hope as George Washington.

Johnny Carson as Abraham Lincoln

Joe Pesci as Christopher Columbus

John Wayne as Genghis Khan (coincidentally, John Wayne did play Genghis Khan in a movie called "The Conqueror")

[shadowkitty56]

Yeah, but the weird thing is that Woodrow Wilson was a Southerner...if I had to pick, I would probably ask James Carville for the voice....it would have been more accurate (though I do get the whole Woody/Woodrow thing....)

[bigpopparamma]

The show was all a parody; they were making fun of everything that was historical. I doubt Woodrow Wilson did sound like Woody Allen, but it's just part of entertainment.

[chalinco]

hey guys can someone please tell what that kiddo at 1:39 is saying??? i have no clue^^

[fairiedragon999]

'It beats the heck out of a 10'

[ismyale]

OH MY GOSH! what's the girl's name at 1:50? she's always been my favorite character hahahaha.

[BloodlustKid]

I believe that's Pepper Ann.

[ecto123]

Actually it's Pepper Mills.

[BloodlustKid]

Oh, you're right. I mixed it up with another cartoon.

[yaycelesteyay]

woody allen.... haha

[queenvangle]

lol Histeria.....

[tefisher1984]

animaniacs

[johnorey]

he talks about the fed reserve act like its a good thing

[attie3]

well johnorey the fed reserve act was a good thing yes it do sucks that we spend things thats but we can make the reserve worn in our way all we have to do is not give the world money when it comes to the fed

[johnorey]

i have no clue what u just said, and no the federal reserve act sucks alot

[JourneyTraveler]

That's DEFINITELY Billy West voicing Benjamin Franklin. No doubt about it.

Cool

[cris750]

"My Dream is that, as the years go on and the world knows more and more of America,it will also drink at these fountains of youth and renewal;that it also will turn to America for those MORAL inspirations which lie at the basis of all freedom;that the world will never fear America,unless it feels that it is engaged in some enterprise which is inconsistent with the rights of humanity;and that...."

[scandium1223]

AND wilson was a Phi Psi =)

[carpex3diem19]

the point of it being funny is for the kids to get to want to watch history.

and want to learn.

i remember watching these, and could never remember what it was called.

untill today, when my history teacher showed us this,the teddy video, and the taft (shaft) video.

it made my day:D

[blandccastagno]

oh man, i loved this show when i was a kid. whenever kids i baby sit talk about their favorite shows i always talk about this one. cartoons plus history equals the happiest kid ever, me. I loved reading the encyclopedia and history books but, i also loved the three stooges and looney toons. this was the best of both worlds by far

[therealkroysc]

I'm glad that this president was joked about.

He brought us

the IRS, Federal Reserve, a National Draft, entry into a useless war that did not threaten our soverignty, he enacted many laws that were against the first, fourth and fifth adments, among with many other constitutional fallicies.

The last line where he says "I print the moeny" is true on many levels.

[Durnty]

well i'm sure even without Willson we'd have gotten involved in the war. Britain asked for our help and it was common practice to assist your allies war efforts. If you don't help them, they won't exactly be inclined to come running to your aid when you need it.

[Judacoth]

you really should read up on your history. Wilson was unwillingly forced into signing the act that brought about the Fed, and even stated that it would be the end of this country.

[HAWKNUTS4]

but it threatend others soverignty

[Durnty]

not to mention he enacted 16th Amendment allowing a graduated income tax, the 17th which mandated the direct election of U.S senators, the 18th prohibiting alcohol, and the 19th giving women the right to vote

[cesariojpn]

For a "Historical Educational Show" they sure messed up a few things.

The $100,000 bill wasn't a Federal Reserve Note, it was a Gold Certificate. Also, it was used in Bank to Bank transactions. Nobody outside the Federal Reserve or the US Treasury would be able to use it.

[patirotdtt]

Anyone remember that FDR Gold Standard Song put to the tune of "Goldfinger"?

[ScottTart]

i could use me one of them! or that fancy little press... ^_^

[applePIRATEtoad]

WOODY wilson. woodrow. woodrow allen. that's why. woody allen's real name is alan konigsberg.

[57goldtoplespaul]

Why does he sound like Woody Allen?

[mommieof8]

I was in high school when this cartoon was on and the only way I got an A in History class, sad uhh?!?! lol, I still enjoy this cartoon.

[Readmit]

Ha Woody Allen.

[chuni555]

want histeria,can´t find

[Sperium3000]

Add one more sign to a petition for Histeria! on DVD.

[ecto123]

@Sperium3000 Where's that?

[peterparker12]

why isn't there a 12 dollar bill?

[velvettrose]

sign me up on that petition

i also learned alot of history, whatever happened to good ol' cartoons?

[valleyval]

I would totally sign a petition to get Histeria! on DVD. That would be awesome. I loved this show as a kid.

[drsjohnny]

wish i could find a way to see this again that AOL way doesn't work for me

[bluecatcinema]

This was a great show. They should make a petition to have it put on DVD.

[FroggoFan64]

Funny you should mention that; I've been managing that petition since June 2006, and we've already got 675 signatures.

[bluecatcinema]

Where is this petition? I'll sign it if you give me the site location.

[pinaej0]

ill sign it and even facebook group it, we can def get a million people, try me ;)

[TBustah]

They certainly got the fact that the guy was totally full of himself down pat.

I think we SHOULD put him on a bill we see a lot so that we'll be reminded of his MISTAKES. People are always saying that Bush is the worst and that he got us into a war for little to no reason, but we pretty much had no reason whatsoever to get into WWI.

What happened to us? A couple ships with Americans on board got sunk by subs? And we had to send millions of soldiers to their deaths? Way worse than Iraq!

[karnman]

Well the Zimmerman Telegram played a role too. But yeah, why were we there?

[kendobunny]

There's actually some convincing evidence that it was a forgery designed to get us to sign up.

[mtigers1981]

Does anyone else notice here that Woodrow Wilson in this sketch sounds like Woody ALLEN?

[TBustah]

That's the joke dude, Pepper even calls him "Woody".

[supernoob72]

stfu raiders fan...everyone know Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in history

[TBustah]

Totally. If any 20th century president deserves to be on a bill, it's Reagan.

I actually just went to his museum a couple weeks ago, it was awesome.

[peterparker12]

he's great to u white ppl, but to the rest of us.

[TBustah]

Okay Pete, two things:

1. Why do you assume that supernoob and I are white? I am, but I don't know about him, which doesn't matter: If you think of things only in terms of race, then it doesn't matter if you support minority causes, because it's just as bad as regular racism.

2. What are you even talking about in the first place? Reagan wasn't a racist at all. Maybe he wasn't the best we've ever had, but he sure as hell didn't discriminate against minorities.

[DrMonday]

Reagan's "welfare queen" line was always a racist dog whistle.

[TBustah]

Whatever man, but don't forget who it was that signed the bill to make MLK's birthday a holiday.

He couldn't be a TOTAL racist.

[karnman]

Top 15 perhaps but not the "greatest", especially in all of history.

[raiderfan14943]

Why didn't this show point out that Woodrow Wilson was a racist.

[FroggoFan64]

'Cause it wouldn't have been a good thing to mention on a kids' show.

[Sheik864]

Oh I see, they don't make a bill larger than 100 anymore

[dkori]

wow the child labor joke was bold, nearly the quality of some of the old jabs you'd here on the simpsons. i miss this show, its a shame kids now don't get to see things like this anymore.

[Sheik864]

Whoa, a 100,000 dollar bill exists? I thought it only went up to a thousand

[karnman]

There was one untill the 30's and all bills over $500 ended in 1969.

[PhoenixAngel429]

I learned a lot of history from this show. This is so funny

[rynesanders8]

OMG BIG FAT BABY! LOL I want a 12 dollar bill so I can pay my laboring children for a twenle hour work day HA classic!

[PhoenixAngel429]

That was so funny.

[BuffaloIan]

Woodrow Wilson was from Virginia...he would not have sounded like Woody Allen

[cmcconnaughy]

It kinda matches his personality, however.. an intelligent but a little scatter-brained. I'd be more worried about Alexander Hamilton's KFC Colonel accent.

[fretgod321]

woodrow wilson = woody allen

i love it

[knytrydr73]

and Jay Leno as Ben Franklin! priceless!

[wodehousepg]

This was a great show when I was young and now I'm a history major...
