If you only ever see one of my videos, watch this one.
This is a collaboration - the artwork is by Billyzbobb - a genuine guy, excellent YouTuber and fantastic Artist!

I was a little over awed by the quality of his work, and afraid to release it, since his excellent artwork makes my effort in this look quite amatureish. Then I figured, life's too short for perfectionism. It's a great story I recorded one lunch break in the car, so the sound is on the quite side.

Billzy - many thanks are due to you man!
If you want a story or voicing, or just some rude jokes, don't hesitate to ask :-)

Maybe I should find some background music, too? Any thoughts?

Thanks Billzy - this is my fastest 'Liked' vid ever.

  • This is a story by HC Andersen based off of "Of which happened to a King and three impostors from a book of short stories called Tales of Count Lucanor.

  • @Phibeta696 I'm thinking of plagurising 'The Pied Piper of Hamlyn', too.

  • @LFOtobot Punchline?

    If you know the original story - look around you. Look at your leaders, look at the judges and the church preachers, the soldiers.

    Which version do you think you're living in?

    Are we living in the world where those in charge are gulible fools who are easy to separate from their wealth, or are we living in a world where the powerful will take what they want on pain of death or overwhelming force?

  • @CorkPhop hahaha! I'm sooo old. I had to google that!

  • @Phibeta696 Cool! Thanks :-)

  • @Phibeta696 Thank you! I was just going to write that! Please tell them the ugly duckling is not a "popular story" either!

  • The diffrence between the two is that the king asks for clothes that illegitimate children cannot see. Though no one can see the cloth they fears loss of their job or inheritance so they say they can.

  • @Phibeta696 It ends with a "negro", knowing that he has nothing to lose saying to the king that he has no clothes. The "negro" is beaten by the king until others gain enough courage to agree with the man. I'm sure calmreason was just making a point but here is an answer to all those who were wondering and a bit of background!

  • @calmreason You must have meant to say "Bloody Atheists! Can't even tell 'em a parable.... and then claim it to be a true story, like it does in the title!"

  • @medexamtoolsdotcom Bloody Atheists! Can't even tell 'em a parable!

  • @trixapete yeah, that's what I was going to say. If I'm supposed to be skeptical, why not of this story?
