  • unlucky.

  • I really wish he'd blown that evil King back to Scotland, cos to this day we're being run by Scots everywhere we look.

  • So when guy fawkes ect say their warriors of christ and try to blow up a building its heroic and shit but when Al'Qaeda do it its terrorism?

  • The only man ever to enter Parliament with honest

    intentions.

  • The last man to enter Parliament with good intentions ??

  • those guy fawkes masks are selling like hotcakes these days

  • remember remember the 5th of November, for there is no reason the gunpowder treason shall ever be forgot-V(future guy fawkes)

  • BBC's reenacting is fucking hilarious.

  • the people should stay silent. the people should stay miserable. the people should work! the people should work! the people should work! the people should work! is it time for someone to advocate for the people yet?

  • actually...them soldiers found guy Fawkes sitting on the gun ammunition..not standing around . thats what i heard, correct me if im wrong!

  • Who nearly blew up JR?

  • Trolololo

  • Remember, remember the fifth of November,

    the gunpowder treason and plot.

    For i see no reason

    why the gunpowder treason to ever be forgot.

  • @merlin173 civil disobedience would be a great bomb, so to speak

  • they dont say anything bout the betrayal letter to the lord

  • Tonight is Guy Fawkes' night, when we celebrate the plot to blow up the houses of parliament.

    Do you think in years to come the Americans will have a bin Laden night?

  • @kaykko it to celebrate the failure the king set up this holiday and wrote a poem to celebrate the fact it did not work and to poke fun of the Catholics so america wont have a Bin laded night as he manage to blow up the buildings except for the white house so they could celebrate the fact that he failed to blow up the most important building but it would seem distasteful

  • Okay axe, enough.

  • thumbs up if you get that stupid axe commercial on every video!

  • im here 5th of nov 2011 - whos with me

  • @GolfBallHeads remember remember...

  • I think we should blow the HQ part of youtube that handles comercials on the channel! Realy every fucking video now has comercials what hell. Wasnt the internet free of corporate crap?! Wasnt the reason why we pull the plug on TV and went to the Internet?!

  • @merlin173 Let's do it, for teh lulz.

  • Guy fawkes failed - that's why it's a perfect symbol for anonymous ^_^

  • Fuck guy fawkes

  • Youtube comments are usually filled with idiots, but this video takes the cake. Love how you all think he was some kind of anti-authoritarian freedom fighter. He wanted to put England back under the rule of the european catholic church. Spend less time watching crap like Zeitgeist and more time reading some history, morons.

  • @blackvapour what's Zeitgeist? I think most people came here because of "V for Vendetta" movie starring Natalie Portman and the smith guy from the Matrix. duuurrrrrhh hyuk hyuk...

  • Guy Fawkes: the only man to enter parliment with honest intentions

  • FREE ENGLAND FROM THOSE SCOTTISH BASTARDS IN WESTMINSTER STILL RUNNING OUR NATION TO THIS DAY - KING JAMES WAS THE BIGGEST BASTARD IN HISTORY DUE TO THAT BOOK HE AUTHORED DEMONOLOGIE WHICH SENT THOUSANDS OF PPL TO SUFFER AND DIE DUE TO HAVING A BIRTHMARK OR MOLE HE DEFINED AS A WITCH ON HIS WITCH HUNTS.

  • GUY FAWKES (HERO).

  • @RedPillRedList

    Why? Fawkes and his conspirators wanted to get rid of the Protestant based theocracy and replace it a Catholic one. They were just swapping "apples for apples", so to speak. Fawkes was certainly an interesting and clever man, don't get me wrong. However, I assume you perceive him as an anarchist (popular misconception) or some sort of "rebel" of anti-corruption, which he was not. The "V for Vendetta" comic, while a great story, has caused a lot of false perceptions about Fawkes.

  • @ahenz90

    It is not just the "great story" of the V for Vendetta comic and movie.

    It is the fight against oppression, selfsacrifice and obsession. The idea,which stands behind all the actions. Fawkes is just an Avatar for these ideas.

  • @merlin173

    i dont trust you

    you dont trust me

    that why

  • "People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of the people".

  • Try to remember the 5th of November, light up the sky with Standard Fireworks! (1960s TV ad) I wonder if they still make them?

  • it took a few hundred years but the gunpowder has finally caught fire

  • @KillYourTeeVee You mean that the Jesuits will prevail?

  • Guy Fawkes would have loved the #Occupy movement. The only difference is that he would have brought gun powder to the protests.

  • @DerrenBrown100 And don't forget The Weather Underground.

  • Rememeber Remeber the 5th of november

  • Anonymous brought me here...

  • plz someone explain to me y Anonymous wears this mask!?!? he was a right-wing extremist but they are a left-wing group. He was a devout catholic many of them are anti-Christian/anti-religion! He wanted to kill the king they want Obama re-elected?!?!

  • @CentRLeft some members of anon use the mask because of it's use in the film 'V for Vendetta', and for it's association with an 'anti-establishment' act. Most people who wear the mask have no idea/do not care that the man was catholic. And as far as I am aware they do not want Obama re-elected, and no-one can speak for the group as a whole.

  • I am so fuckin tired of these advertisements

  • @hatersout123 Use adblock! (google it!) works for all browsers..

    I have had 2 ads in 2 weeks xD

  • not to the video but rather the Add by Democic Supporter.

  • thumbs up if your wearing a guy fawkes right this minute

    Nice thought anyway!

  • @sardanapolis ...and im supposed to feel sorry ..? FU ahah

  • @finalfrontier001

    Foul language constitutes zina of the mind.

  • @sardanapolis

    oh shit ... don't tell me you're muslim XD!!

  • british gang

    

  • nah, im pretty sure the united states has the most recognizable government buildings in the world.

  • Surreptitious Koran burning

    The inclusion of a hidden copy or CD of the Koran in a November 5 "guy" would be an excellent method of protesting against religious intolerance.

  • Funny how terrorists these days just arnt praised like those of old

  • It's intresting that V from vendetta is based on Guy Fawkes only that V is Modern Guy Fawkes, well both of the fiction and non-fiction character are good.

  • 2:21 RESERVOIR DOGS.

  • So the Gunpowder plot was a Catholic Jihad??

  • @EuromanMovieReport Essentially yes. Catesby and his crew were effectively the Al Qaida of their time. They were very much on the extreme of Catholic opinion though. Most English Catholics thought they were insane.

  • @EuromanMovieReport Yes they were part of the Jesuit order. King James was bringing his people toward religious liberty and away from the oppression of the Church (he even translated his own version of the Bible). This was simply intolerable to the Catholic Church (very powerful at the time, but losing power due to the Reformation) and the Gunpowder Plot was their plan to destabilize the government and restablish their prior influence in Britain.

  • Internet inquisition should rise to destroy 4chan and its scum

  • Hmm, im a bit suspicious of information from the BBC... no one should believe anything they here from TV without thier own research. IF anyone is here because of V for Vendetta, another good film is Network.

  • He was an amazing man.

    R.I.P Guy Fawkes.

  • Heyy, were soildiers of christ...

    So that OBVIOUSLY gives us permission to blow up people we dont like! :)

  • Remember... Remember the 5th of November...

    The gunpowder plot and treason... I know no reason

    Why the gunpowder plot and treason should ever be...

    Forgot... - V

  • 2:29 LIKE A BOSS

  • Fucking ads won't load and i can't watch my fucking video OMFG youtube...

  • @Tygurad Phew, lucky I didn't get an ad! LOL, just kidding!

    Try to reload the page several times.

  • Remember, remember

    the 5th of November, the gunpowder,trizon and plot. I see no reason the gunpowder and trizon to ever be forgot...

  • i refuse to ever attend a burning of guy fawkes.

    i will chuck a King Charles on from now on.

  • @topbluffa1 my feelings exactly :)

  • should have let him carry on, that way we might not have the money grabbing basteds we have now

  • @davidhaythornthwaite But we probabely wouldn't have the film "V for Vandetta" either and thats priorety!

  • Blow ya back to ya Scottish mountains,bitch.

  • 2:27-3:34 GANGSTA CREW!

  • Hellow I'm french and I'm doing an exercise about this video... I need to understand a word at the end, could someone help me please ?? Jack Wright, who was considered to be the best .......... of England. (?)

  • @Orangeblossom0207 swordsman - the best at sword fighting.

    

  • CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, GUY FAWKES.

  • he was doin good tho look how much the world is fucked up today

  • @Reichvant22 Of course, isn't that what all good humans do?

  • @Reichvant22 Thanks for remembering my birthday.

  • They were publicly hung, drawn & quartered - not a nice way to die!

  • GUY FALKS...HE WAS THE ONLY HONEST MAN TO WALK IN TO PARLIAMENT

  • Voíla! A vaudevillian cast as both victim and villain!

  • Kill all protestants

  • poor chap, a victim of racism and persecution - we ought to feel sorry for him

  • Well done England for destroying the catholic scum.

  • If only suicide bombers know about guy fawkes

  • i had about this in my english book :)

  • Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent To blow up King and Parli'ment. Three-score barrels of powder below To prove old England's overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
  • You learn grammar. It was a retorical question and calm down, I just thought it was wrong of you to call these reasons stupid

  • I can't kill for my faith as I have no faith that is exactly why I called it stupid. They never said anything about soldiers breaking into someones house and killing their family for no reason. Where they hell did you hear that? Lets not group all anarchists either, some initiate force others can only justify defense.

    Oh, learn English and I told you what some anarchists do in my last comment why ask again?

  • If i were in that time and saw that Great man Guy Fawkes i would help him to the death.

  • BEFORE you lisen to this, realize the womans all to familiar accent. This is filmed in Britan obviously, and with all historical tales there is always facts left out and facts "misunderstood". There was much more to the plot than simply religon, there was an idea.

  • @unit529 Dont do the whole V for Vendetta idea bull crap...unless you are Guy Fawkes, you can not say what the plot was meant for, be it Religion, Fun or a Idea.

  • What a noble man

  • @badmongo0 no, he was a bastard

  • @billybob7ful he tried to kill an evil imperialist dictator and he's the bastard. You need to sort out your priorities man.

  • @badmongo0 wrong. you need to learn some history, instead of educating yourself from hollywood movies

  • @billybob7ful educate me man, am I wrong about what I said about the king?

  • To bad they where doing it for stupid religious reasons. Would have been cool if they where anarchists. LOL

  • @MirageScience These were not "stupid religious reasons" How would you like it if you killed for your faith. You have not done anything wrong then soldiers will break in and kill you and your family. What do anarchists do?

  • Good

    

  • @unit4480 Ok...

  • wow i my great grandmother's surname was fawkes and she passed down storeys that we were decendants of Guy Fawkes, i glad our branch of the fam came to america tho cuz i would hate to have one of those annoying british accents

  • @WeesySuper thats not nice ='( we dont actually speak posh ya know...dumb ass its better than americans who wont shut up!

  • Remeber Remeber the 5th of November wait no 4th of November

  • Guy Fawkes was senteced to be hanged drawn & quartered as a traitor, but he was clever enough to cheat the executioner and hanged himself before the gruesome part began.

  • your all thick

  • @SnookerMaster9 That maybe the case, but at least we can all spell.

  • @JohnCaseyCFC1888 and to note 36 barrels would be 61 lb per ( 27 kg ) barrel for a total of a Metric ton of power

  • @JohnCaseyCFC1888 Dood its 1605 so we can assume he used a wagon

    besides a barrel of gunpowder is not that big and if you figure you could pay ppl off to look the other way so its easy

  • Robert Catesby? He was the Plotter, the instigator behind the entire movement?

  • Guy Fawkes was not the instigator of this Gunpowder Plot & he did not act on it alone. There were five conspirators, of which Guy Fawkes was a following member, a "soldier" if you will? Did anybody catch the name of the "General" of this crusading group?

  • Thomas Percy was a crypto-Catholic before he was formally received into the Roman Catholic church and Guy Fawkes was born Protestant but later converted to Roman Catholicisim with the help of his Roman Catholic step father. And King James was on 17 December 1566 in a Catholic ceremony held at Stirling Castle but brought up as a Protestant so history is not as clear cut as one thinks.

  • Robert Keyes was born Protestant and his father was a C of E Minister, his mother was related to the staunchly Catholic Babthorpes of Osgodby and Keyes later converted to Roman Catholicism. Sir Everard Digby was raised in a Protestant household, and married a Protestant, where later converted to Roman Catholicism by a Jesuit priest.

    

  • Politicians deserve to be blown up

  • Well done Britain in destroying this foreign Catholic terrorist plot. 

  • Penny for the Banksters

  • One of my ancestors was involved in this plot. Not sure whether to be glad about that, though it is pretty cool I guess.

  • Guy Fawkes was actually fighting to install James' daughter Elizabeth as a Catholic queen under the thrall of Philip III of Spain, making England in essence a vassal state of the Spanish Empire, so not exactly what i would call a freedom fighter, and im glad he was caught and killed along with all the rest of the plotters :)

  • God bless Guy Fawkes, fighter of oppression! :D

  • Remember remember the fifth of November

    Gunpowder, treason and plot.

    I see no reason why gunpowder, treason

    Should ever be forgot...

  • 3:08-3:22 Kept imaging the song "damn it feels good to be a gangsta" playing.

  • V brought me here

  • Gee whizz what a bunch of nitwits.....It's 1605 - for ordinary people God is a reality as are heaven,hell and conscience. I think that the differences between the world of today and then make it hard,if not impossible, to discuss the Catesby plot with anything today.

    V for Vengeance - great graphic novel - mediocre movie - not relevant here.

  • @SuperAnimalGuy Err... If I hate the entire human race ( as suggested), as a Martian, I must apologise to you homo sapiens for my interplanetary incorrectness Lol!

  • 2:21 so THAT is what happened to Ezio after assassins creed brotherhood ._.

  • 0:01

  • Sorry people guy fawks wasn'tan anarchist he was trying to force catholism on the anglican church which in my opinion is just a waste of time

  • @dadadee100 I'd blow the Catholics up too. And the Jews. And the Moslems. And the Communists, the Far Right, Cheryl Cole.....

  • Fuck the old lady who laughs about guy fawkes being burned alive. you wouldn't laugh if i laughed about jesus dying. or if i saw Mohammad the other day. "shakes head" friggin ignorant

  • FILHO DA PUTA

  • remember remember the 5th of november

  • It is unfortunate that he hasn't succeeded. A patriot and freedom fighter to some, a terrorist and a traitor to others. In every war, the truth is the first victim.

  • Guy Fawkes the first terrorist in recorded-history.......at least from my knowledge

  • Catesby looks so fucking cool. I would wear that :)

  • If this plot had succeeded, it would have been the mother of all terrorist plots and probably more influential on the world at that time than even 9/11.

  • Guy Fawkes could have handled the matter better by not doing the gunpowder treason but rather by promoting compromise between Catholic and the Government.

  • 2 hours before what should have happened. this should have happened almost everywhere. the "elite" should have their tea cups spilled by a few thous kg of tnt

    yet we do nothing.

  • honour to guy fawks

  • @celeborn1968 death to guy fawkEs

  • i am disappointed that no one has really questioned this as much much as i do. why do we celebrate him? are we celebrating the failure of his attempt, or are we celebrating the attempt. If we are celebrating the attempt, why would be we, it was an act of terrorism that was going to kill many innocent people. We don't celebrate 9/11 do we? the only people who would be fit to celebrate such a holiday are anarchists.

  • @10lettername Remember Remember 11 September

    The Gun powder, Treason and Plot

    I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.

  • @corizon420: You mean "Conspiracy, Treason, and Plot", surely?

  • @corizon420 5 november

  • @corizon420

    i agree we should not forget both passages of history, yet, Britain celebrates a day related to the gun powder plot

  • @10lettername in my opinion we celebrate it because he was caught and that it never should be forgotten what happened to him after wards...maybe it was put into place as a warning to any1 else who plans something similar that they would meet the same fate

  • @manutdabc123

    so you personally, celebrate because he was brought to justice, many other commenters sound to be celebrating his attempt, rather than his failure.

  • @10lettername i personally dont think we celebrate it for any reason any more maybe we just use it as an excuse for a good time and to burn any unwanted shit we have in our homes...but yes the reasoning i gave is probably why we first celebrated it at the time...the people who celebrate his attempt are those who obviously hate the government

  • @10lettername justice? if there would be any justice we wouldnt just celebrate an attempt...

  • beware also german watch this English folks are the "Real " german :-) a joke from a "Krautz " means at real "To learn other language help to understand other people " you crazy language is from old german ... jaja ist so und grüsse an die "Inselaffen "

  • Remember remember

    the fifth of November

    the gunpowder treason and plot

    I know of no reason

    The gunpowder treason

    Should ever be forgot

    - V for Vendetta

  • @pyroboy1 But what about the man ? lol

  • The real leader was Robert Catesby

  • This playlist started out as a 6pt series of James I aka James VI. What the fk happened? Just one more reason to hate playlists!

  • Shame Guy Fawkes did not make it...

  • Yeah, that pisses me the fuck off.

  • @czamuko666 Even if he wasnt discovered, 3/4 of all the gunpowder he had stored would have been unusable. Gunpowder doesnt go well with damp enviroments. Appart from this, If he made it Britain would have gotten a taste of good old chatolic rule and inquisition. Basically the whole "V for Vendetta" movie turned upside down with V beeig the actual bad guy.

  • @czamuko666 shame he did come back and do it when blair and brown were about

  • @czamuko666 but V made it

  • Right, neither of you lot are able to properly express your own, very important thoughts in English, and that's ok...I speak several lanuages myself, but I don't pop-off a blog in anything but my native...except French, because those hotties have no rules when it comes to diction..... K. McKidd is edible...a hunk for the ages..Let's just agree on that, & be on our way...eh?

  • Are you an idiot? I never wanted you to do that smartass. I want you to just be able to type words in English atleast.

  • LiveMusicLove121 You cannot even type English I would hate to heard what comes out of your mouth! And yes the Pope. What is wrong with that? Let me guess your an atheist or an agnostic benchwarmer? Piss off.

  • @GermBritScotsIrish15 Uuuum, What? Starters, atheists arent not benchwarmers, they are trying to figure things out. Okay listen to this. Almost all Religions blindly place their faith into a higher being etc. Agnostic is someone who doesnt give a shit and just wants to live life, so, on the meaning of life game, they are the benchwarmers. the religions are more like that old player who refuses to change his/her ways. atheist is basicly somone who beleives science is the way forward.

  • It is sad that England and America have been corrupted to let the enemy destroy our culture. Long live the Pope!
