here for our 101 facts end-of-the-year special let's get to it
for a start I can love a lot have you been watching this year two hundred
fifty three million seven hundred thirty three thousand two hundred twenty two
minutes have been watched that's four hundred ninety two years and 156 days
that's about the same as two million three hundred and twenty seven thousand
eight hundred and twenty eight viewings of the Nutter professor to the Klumps
movie two million six hundred and fifteen eight hundred and six viewings
of a pig in the city or seven thousand eight hundred and eighty nine complete
viewings of the Inspector Morse box sets basically a lot of video has been washed
also about 90,000 lovely people have joined the mother factor family and
we've received 48,000 your comments like they're good or well
yeah those right oh then let's get to our first favorite fact of the year what
the flies are pretty as our poems that's not the facts my introduction to it but
look at me I'm so highbrow and cultured but so are you guys now too because this
year we put out a video or about Billy shakes himself William Shakespeare and
in that very video we got a dissing example of the butterfly effect if you
want an indication of Shakespeare's incredible legacy the only reason
starlings exist in North America is because a German American named Eugene
Schieffelin imported sixty starlings from England in 1890 because he wanted
to introduce all the birds mention in the plays of William Shakespeare to
Central Park in New York starlings have since become an invasive species across
the entire United States and have caused a number of serious problems including
on the 4th of October 1960 an Lockheed Electra plane crashed shortly after
takeoff at Boston's Logan Airport after it flew through a flock of 10,000
starlings many of the birds were sucked into the engines causing a catastrophic
failure that brought the plane down the resulting crash claimed 62 lives and
legitimately would never have happened if it weren't for Shakespeare signal
reference to starlings in Henry the fourth part one yep that's right
Shakespeare mentioned starlings in a play he wrote in the 16th century and he
literally called the death of 62 people over 300 60 years later yes so
Shakespeare starlings had dire consequences in the future but we love
this year that animals should be respected especially in Norway and
especially if that penguins eels in 2016 Norway knighted Niels Olaf which
wouldn't be all that surprising if it was this stock photo guy but it isn't
because Niels Olaf it's a king penguin Nils Olav
attached to a title that appoints an individual as colonel-in-chief of the
Norwegians Kingsguard it's been passed down through three King penguin since
1972 the current holder is Nils Olav the third that was from our anything and
everything part 2 electric Boogaloo video by the way
what's that know you're running out of countries and early topics ok anyway
let's move on to our heroes of the Year who successfully managed to let the
phallus destroy half of all life in the universe seriously good job guys it's
the Avengers and scarlet witch's aversion to balls
because Ultron is roughly nine feet tall and James Spader is well not he wore an
antenna like frame which held two red eyeballs three feet above his head as a
reference point for where Ultron's eyes were going to be Elizabeth Olten
actually struggled to focus on the balls because spiders performance would be so
intense that she would look directly at him out of instinct whenever this
happened Aaron taylor-johnson would yell look at his balls Lizzy don't know why
he said it like that to get her to focus on spiders big red
balls yes Elizabeth Olten took a slight gamble by not looking at those balls and
speaking of gambling let me just have a go at this fruit machine right here we
go we go Oh what we're gonna get what we're gonna get oh look I want an
incredible fact about ice cream from our Vegas video earlier in the year let's
have a look at that now you got to animate the machine in later right we've
all heard of Howard Hughes aviator a multi-millionaire extraordinaire but his
behavior in Vegas is something to be heard to be believed while staying there
he became fond of baskin-robbins his banana nut ice cream and so ordered 350
gallons of the stuff to be flown in from Los Angeles happy days it's what I'd do
if I was a millionaire however Hughes said just a few days later that he was
fern up up said banana nut of course he would be it's a rubbish flavor only
problem was that the place he was staying at the Desert Inn now has 350
gallons of it therefore for about a year afterwards
the Desert Inn gave pretty much all the banana nut ice cream for free to all
guests hey it's all very well and good me going for these things but one thing
if they have a favorite fact because it's not just me anymore I'll know I pay
for friends to help me out by which I mean I paid them to be my friends and
then they help me out for an even bigger fee to loss economy basically I'm Chris
hello I'm Jacob I'm Georgia and I edit for 101 facts and
else in life I write with a few notable exceptions all the scripts for 101 facts
I write up all the facts I add all the jokes except for a few that Sam add
himself it's on me guys I'm the real head honcho here I am the person that
does all the boring stuff I help pick the topics I help put the videos up and
I make all the thumbnails that there's too many you can't pick one fat maybe
I've edited a thousand of them so yeah no you can't ask that as this too many
there's too many my favorite fact of the year is that
according to some experts in Asian Island people displayed submission to a
king or chief by sucking on his nipples it's both bizarre and sexy at the same
time oh I think it might have been world one where the fact was a sentence and I
was really like that one because it's a good like three minutes to edit it was
great that was my favorite things my favorite one one facts video of the year
is probably 101 facts about grandpa Thoreau San Andreas because unlike a lot
of the other 101 facts videos we do about video games I actually have played
San Andreas so it was a nice change and I was able to relate to it a lot better
and enjoy actually learning about the game if I was going to choose a favorite
video probably the office it's Britney bench I was thinking about it and my
favorite video of the years probably Spyro because it was really fun for me
and Leif to edit together because we were both actually knew the subject
which hasn't happened before look at those high fliers go hey
speaking of high fliers let's see this fact from our karne where's the video
that you definitely all watched about how he was on the receiving end of a
ridiculous lawsuit don't hate the player hate the game
in 2006 West was sued by Robert Craig Knievel jr. more commonly known as Evel
Knievel the aging daredevil apparently took issue with the music video for
touch the sky which features carnie attempting to launch himself across a
canyon in a rocket-powered motorcycle called Evel Knievel this apparently
upset Knievel owing to the clear reference was failed jump across the
Snake River Canyon in 1974 though Knievel was initially infuriated by the
video the lawsuit was apparently settled amicably after he met Kanye West in
person Knievel sainted that he thought West was a wonderful guy and quite a
gentleman kanye west's they're a staple when it
comes to internet controversies but apparently not YouTube use anyway
staples yeah that's another thing you should fear that we found out this year
as it turns out they've got a lot of Americans killed back in the day for not
being dirty enough don't believe me well check this bad boy out one of the
strangest ways that Russian authorities have managed to identify American agents
is simply by looking at the staples on their fake documents a visual Russian
documents were often stapled together with poor quality staples that rust it
leaving behind distinctive rust marks on the pages whereas the fake papers
carried by Americans used fancy highfalutin on rusting staples that were
a dead giveaway to Russians in fact hundreds of American spies were caught
in this very way okay now look there's a joke that appeared in absolutely loads
of one-on-one videos this year you probably don't understand to be honest I
don't really get it either it's in this clip see if you can spot it now other
actors considered for the role of dr. Robert Ford before Anthony Hopkins got
his handsome wash hands on it include Max von Sydow and Christopher Plummer
number 35 funnily enough one of the main reasons why Antony Hopkins agreed to
take the role of dr. Ford was because he was originally going to be contracted
for one year I was told from the beginning that his character would not
survive the first season what's I should have said spoiler alert before but I'd
prefer I said in the intro so can't do me for it
well okay everyone gets really mad about sunscreen beans gun like the whole thing
was supposed to be in West's world like Anthony Hopkins needed sunscreen and
then he's talked to a kid robot who was like oh I'm gonna talk in binary and
they just took over the screen and that was supposed to be the joke within
itself and then it came up again a few facts later during the moonlight Anthony
Hopkins need the sunscreen because he was still getting sunburned because the
sun's rays still reflect off the moon it just lesyk isn't enough and in that
finished and then he was asking again during a toast
just as a comment with the name of the main girl shoots him in the back of the
head and it just crashed zooms into her face go and plot twists on the screen
means gun and it was the funniest thing for me to the point where I've now put
it in a good majority of the rest of the videos it's not a joke it's not a joke
it's not funny I don't hate Sun screen means go
actually I think it's become somewhat of a recognizable trope for our brand
there's no leader I know he thinks that's what makes it funny but it
doesn't it's not a joke I think it's signals to die-hard fans
that we still care about them we still love them it's not a thing but he makes
it a thing so I'm all for it sunscreen means good forever don't
encourage him but it's the funniest joke and if everyone disagrees with me
honestly there makes it funnier yeah thanks Chris so if you ever see that
again that's why even though me and Eve try our best to get rid of it whenever
we see it you now know the context behind it to consider yourself superior
another factor or if you knew that already crown yourself the reigning
sovereign or the mother factor Empire you beauty so there we have it that was
2018 a big year for all of us here at team 101 what videos would you like to

2019 so it's goodbye from me thanks for watching this year it's been a it's been
