Thank you so much to all the Bonnie Bees, I couldn’t do this without you: https://www.patreon.com/cgpgrey
Didn’t you have a podcast with another youtuber, where you could vent this sort of thing?
wait half a year how long did it take to research the shark video
13:10 you say zero people, but here we all are :<
I respect your caveat about students a lot 👍👍
Bonnie Bees? More like Grey Bees!
Grey, any time you need to talk about Tiff just give me a call.
Thanks for making yourself avaliable Dirk from Venitian
hey!
Sup
Dude a Veritasium-CGP Grey collab would be awesome
Wait what?
Alexander Pope would probably love how much trouble Hearne’s mistakes have frustrated Grey’s research. I’d imagine he’d write an open letter to the public criticizing Hearne for causing so much hassle.
“This scholar and writer of pamphlets for the education of the public was driven to madness.”
alexander pope sounds like a hilarious guy
“His misinformation and inclusions of useless misquoted works cost true researchers of valuable time”
he would’ve written an open letter *praising hearne for “inducing in others so much scholarly effort and doubly admirable for doing with so lightly of his own”
There once was a researcher named CGP Grey,
Who whilst hunting Tiffany lost his way.
A poem’s date he did chase, it’s source be erased,
Hearne’s antiquarian ways did dismay.
Wow he must be in love with this Tiffany girl
Fricking Limericks are awesome
Now time to re-edit it via bad editing and call it out via shade.
Please write a reference to an obscure source to troll the next scholar
Dope limerick made infinitely more hilarious by an anime avatar
As a graduate student, this speaks to my soul. The hours of searching, the dead ends, the digressions…
I really enjoyed this video. I also think its incredible important. Someone had to do this research and in the future you saved people time that also might come across the poem.
Fifty years from now:
“SO MY ONLY SOURCE… OF THIS ENTIRE TIFFANY A-N-Y THING… WAS THIS WEIRD VIDEO ON THIS ANTIQUATED WEBSITE”…
I gotta be honest. I don’t know if anyone “had” to do any of this. But I’m glad he did
As someone who has spent years doing historical research, I empathize with this video so, so much. Well done, Grey. It made it into a footnote!
I love the petty but eloquent insults. People really need to start saying, “Not kept up with your avowed regard for truth” again, for people caught lying.
I respect this
Oh hey it’s my other favorite YouTuber, in the wild. Weird to think you exist outside of a video production standpoint. I hope your day is nice and your breakfasts aren’t sweet.
“I preciate you”
WHY THE POEM IS A JOKE:
It’s a pun based on “coming out of Britany”.
William’s mother was named Britany.
The poem is implying that his mother gave birth to the man, his wife, his maid, and his dog.
It’s an ancient “yo mama” joke.
I think your right and I’m not sure if that makes it better or worse
…Ah, a yo-mama joke…
Truely worthy of baseline of Tiffany.
That’s hilarious, and I hope it’s true
That’s awesome.
Duuuuuude, Bravo!
