To be fair, forcibly moving the Indian section and blaming the Irish for the Chicago Fire is the most authentic American experience you could possibly hope to emulate.
-
the fact that someone got a really shitty cut of their robbery money, so they turned in themselves and their friends out of spite is actually the funniest thing to come of this
-
I like the juxtaposition of a themepark based on American exceptionalism where half the attractions are based on disasters.
-
3:02 wait... Walt Disney had partners working with him named Woody, a cowboy from texas and Buzz, a veteran mechanics engineer. I wonder why this sounds so familiar
-
That guy who turned himself in out of spite because his partners cheated him out of his take is great.
-
"The cow, who died oblivious at an unreported date" is another out of context Defunctland quote for the books, I think
-
"Freedomland was the bedroom where Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty made Yankee Doodle Dandy." Is my favorite line from this one. I love your writing and presentation style.
-
This feels like something made in the pre-war fallout universe, but like, real.
-
Walt Disney’s anger outbursts being put on construction wall signs as quotes is my favourite defunctland running gag
-
“God damn you, this is my circus!” is probably the best thing Walt Disney has ever said.
-
I'm glad someone had the guts to include the underrated, misunderstood, and ultimately forgotten founding father of our country, Danny the dragon.
-
"God damn you! This is my circus!" Is something I thought I would never hear walt disney say also being my favorite and funniest quote from him it made me laugh so much I cried tears of joy
-
"Freedomland was the bedroom where Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty made yankee doodle dandy." Only Kevin can say that with a straight face.
-
When people talk about how easy it was to get a job back in the day its because you could talk and lie your way into a job and there was no easy way to check.
-
"Ok, hear me out here...911...it was horrible but could be entertaining." "....the hell is wrong with you?..." "...haha...I...uhh...I guess you don't wanna hear my Hitler Death Car Bumper cars?"
-
I still can't get over how casually you mentioned that he went on to open the first six flags park
-
These rides!! Lol. Imagine a ride at Disney called “Hurricane Katrina” “California Wildfires” or “The great Coronavirus”
-
Soviet agent infiltrating america: My name is Johnny Freedom.
-
“Guests would enter Freedomland as millions had: through New York” LOL this script is so amazing. Never knew I would laugh out loud so much while learning
-
"and the Cow, who died likely oblivious at an unreported date" this line is comedy gold to me
