Hello Internet!

Today We have a look at the history of the world, I guess!
Thank you so very much to all my viewers who took time out of their day to leave a comment
recommending a video on this very topic.
You guys wanted it now you have it!
Here we go!!
So let’s talk about the world!
Earth is a pretty amazing place!
We have plants.
We have animals.
We even have boobs,which are pretty cool!
There are over 7 billion people currently alive on this planet that we call earth.
wait…
7 billion?!
With a B?!
Oh my god, that is a lot!
That’s the most people that the world has ever had on it alive at one time.
Plus, we face more problems than we ever have.
Global warming!!
Food shortages!
Pollution! the economy!!!
Whether or not Dak Prescott will be able to repeat his rookie season numbers and take
the dallas cowboys to the playoffs again?!?!?!
There.
Is.
Too.
Much.
Uncertainty!
We are doomed!!!
We are all gonna die!!
Sorry, I got a bit side tracked.
What I was trying to say was we spend our whole lives going to school and learning about
various aspects of this wonderful yet terrifying place we call earth.
But what if I told you that you could learn everything you learn in years of schooling
in less than 20 mins?
It doesn’t seem real right?
Well, welcome to 2017 where you can not only watch porn on a device that fits in the palm
of your hand, but you can also learn all about the world in less than 20 mins!
It truly is a magical time to be alive…even if we’re all doomed.
Enter Bill Wurtz!
Bill wurtz is a musician and youtuber, who creates videos that have a very distinct brand
and style that over 1 and a half million people that subscribed to his channel have come to
know and love.
The majority of his videos focus on random and catchy musical jingles very often accompanied
with colorful surrealist or Non sequitur graphics…what ever the hell that means.
Wikipedias words not mine.
You know what?
instead of explaining with words, let me show you some examples.
Blissful Music
Nearly all of Bill’s videos are under 30 seconds.
Much like my sex life.
haha, uhh that’s of course a joke.
There’s no truth or reality in that statement.
haha ha uhhh
The videos are a quick dose of melodic and catchy fun which is usually pretty weird.
And that’s not me saying that either.
In 2016 Bill won a shorty award for best in the category of “weird”.
And the award goes to Bill Wurtz!
Thank You.
