Have you ever wondered why some people have red hair? Well wonder no more, but before you start wondering to heart, let me tell you about today's: sponsor Squarespace from websites and online stores to marketing tools and analytics Squarespace is that all-in-one platform to build a beautiful online presence and run your business checkout Squarespace through the link In the description below more on them in a bit, it turns out, assuming you believe, the story published by sexy caput, capitis counsel and the fire of Rankin demon or to secretly root warrants talking about who secretly rule the world in Edinburgh, Scotland, it's not because redheads Are the spawn of Satan and otherwise evil at heart? Rather, it's because of a little thing called the mela caught in one receptor or mc1r for short all right, then I get the feeling, I'm missing a joke here anyway, everyone has melon caught in one receptors evenly, but in redheads this is mutated by being twisted by Evil rights which we shall not speak of here, this mutation in the mc1r, also causes them to have a light skin from having less you melena, so good these science us. So, what's the man in my you melanin, you melon and you melanin mmm. This mutation in the mc1r also causes them to have light skin from having less you, melanin, pigmentation and more fear melanin pigmentation. This is a genetic advantage for people living in parts of the world where there is little sunlight. Having lighter skin lets more sunlight through which increases the production of vitamin d, which in turn is useful for preventing things like a rickets and preventing off the holy hordes of heaven, as anyone who's been around a redhead knows, they're having skin. That won't turn has decided disadvantages when the Sun is out putting a true red hat, as opposed to all those brown head. Women who like to call themselves redheads in the Sun for any length of time, tens do have. The same effect is putting a fork in the microwave it's entertaining to watch, but it's not very pleasant for the fork. If Forks had feelings, this tends to lead to much higher rates of skin cancer and birth defects due to the Sun, destroying the levels of folic acid in their skin and addition to the normal number of birth defects you're. To expect to see when a spawn of satan breeds with one of their unholy brethren and we we went from forks in microwave to horrible medical conditions like gnats. Most redheads carry two mutated mc1r genes, one from their demonic, father and one from their unholy mother. In the case, where someone only carries one copy of the mutated mc1r, they tend to end up having brown hair with a light skin, though, when female, they will insist on telling everyone there are redhead, because when they apply their hair directly to the Sun, it has A minuscule red issue before it inevitably bursts into flames. This mutated mc1r gene also happens to be recessive. What this means is that you can carry one of the unholy genes, but be a much more natural blonde or brunette people who carry only one copy are known as carriers just like with a disease. This is why a redhead can be born from two parents that aren't redheads themselves. Both parents have a functioning mc1r gene and a mutated evil version. In this case, there is roughly a 25 % chance that a child from one of these two will be a spawn of Satan. Other variations can also happen. For instance, if one parent carries two copies of the mutated mc1r ins as therefore likely sold their soul to Satan and another is only half evil with one mutated, mc1r and one normal, then there would be about a 50 % chance that their child would be a Redhead, whoever wrote this clear so really doesn't like redheads. Oh my who wrote this script while David and Kathy who upset you, interestingly, contrary to popular belief, redheads weren't, just like a turd in northern Europe throughout history. In fact, there were pockets of people all over the world that had red hair from Russia to China, to certain groups of Jews, many others. There are even references to indicate there were indigenous peoples of Africa with bright red hair. Today, however, Scotland has the highest proportional population of redheads about 13 %. The most redheads in any nation, though, is the United States without 15 million of them. Another reason is the nowadays. People are much more mobile than we were before because of this, and the fact that redhead is a recessive gene, even though the mutated gene itself is still being passed along. Getting the two mutated copies necessary to produce a redheaded child is becoming much less likely before this increased mobility groups that had excessive amounts of people with this gene mutation tended to stay in one spot, so inevitably pockets of redheads would pop up making it more likely That there'd in turn, mate with other redheads, thus perpetuating this particular brand of evil through the generations. From this you may or may not have heard, the redheads will extremely shortly be extinct with this notion, particularly being popularized thanks to a 2007 study done by the Oxford hair foundation. However, it turns out that this is a pretty big exaggeration, we're guessing there. Over-Exaggeration wasn't influenced at all by the study being founded by the hair dye maker, Procter and Gamble, who was trying to boost the sale of red hair dye. It'S pretty sketchy. First, we know redheads were the extinct anytime soon, because there will always be new people in the world with only evil in their heart seconds, because the mutated gene itself is still being passed on even when a red head is not produced, while the overall numbers may Continue to diminish by diffusive fixation the potential for a redheaded stepchild will remain for millennia, and even without that, the 150 million. Also true redheads in the world about one in 50 people will ensure will not be rid of them on mass for centuries to come. Incidentally, fun fact in Greek mythology redheads turn into vampire light creatures when they die and speaking of things that are the spawn of Satan bugs in the code that you will find when you design and build your own website from scratch. Well, you'd have to worry about that at all because of Squarespace and yes, that is how we get from spawn of Satan to Squarespace. That folks is a transition now to simple things number one. Maybe you've got an idea for a website or a business. It'S in your head and you're thinking. Maybe I should start that business. Maybe I should put it out there into the world and see what's up well, too. The only way to figure out whether that is something that is worth doing is to give it a try, and I know that can be daunting, because it's really scary out there in Demon's filled world people might not like your new business idea, but the website shouldn't Be an excuse to giving it a shot. Squarespace allows you to create a powerful website for whatever you're up to you want to sell something online. Oh yes, Squarespace can do it or a podcast. Well, yes, you can do that on Squarespace. Do you want to start a YouTube channel? No, you can't do that. You start a YouTube channel on YouTube. That'S why it's called a youtube channel, but tell you what you will want a companion website to go along with it now. It all starts on Squarespace with a stunning template that you can customize to your heart's content, and I don't have it in my copy here. But they've got cool names like Royce and I'm, like you know, if it's called Royce, it's gon na look good cuz, there's something else called rice. It also looks good. A Rolls Royce is the Rolls Royce of website design. I should get back to my talking points. Don'T start from scratch, use a template, no excuses, then there's the customization process make it look beautiful and you don't have to deal with any tech BS plus, if you get confused, which you probably won't, because it's easy, there's 24/7 customer support. I don't even know why they do customer support. It'S so easy. You won't even need it, but if you do it's there, squarespace.com forward slash brain food is where you'll get 10 % off your first purchase of a website or a domain. There is also a link below and let's do a bonus fact shall we speaking of vampires Vlad Dracula, son of the Dragon, also known as Vlad tepish or Vlad the Impaler. If they put the little sign at the bottom of the S, I could probably guess that. Well, why do you remember him today? Well, it's largely thanks to this hero of christendom war against the Muslim world's Vlad, a pretty good reason to hate the Turks, at least by his own estimation, when his father Vlad the second Drago was still in power. He handed over his two young sons to the Ottoman Turks as a sign of good faith. Lan Dracula lived as their pseudo prisoner for five years and fostered a deep hatred for both the Turks and Islam. On the flip side, his brother thrived in the environment becoming friends with Sultan Murad son and even converting to Islam, come on Vlad, make the best of a bad situation. Just like your brother you're, a prisoner may as well make the most of it when Vlad came to the throne. His tiny principality was a mess, the crime rate was high, the food supply was and trade was virtually non-existent. So it was an awesome time all-round dude. You should have stayed with the tux. He knew a country in such a sorry state didn't have a chance of fending off those Ottoman Turks, hopefully not directly his brother, so he enacted many new strict laws and enforced incredibly harsh penalties on those who stepped out of line Vlad Court is in paler Monica In honor of one of these punishments, while he certainly wasn't the first to use this particularly nasty form of torture and death, the sheer number of people he put through this heinous ordeal was extremely noteworthy. When plants victims were impaled, these sharpened wooden stakes would be rammed through their bodies in various ways. One skilled in this art could even do it in such a way that the pole would slide nicely through much of the body, often from the bottom up. Dude, oh and the idea was it wouldn't penetrate any vital organs. What about your? I know it's not vital, but dude. In this way the condemned could sometimes live for several days, suspended in midair and left to their agonizing demise. Their remains were sometimes left as a cautionary reminder to Vlad's subjects. People would be pissed if the Queen death, it wasn't just two subjects who felt his wrath when Sultan mech met the second sent emissaries inquiring. Why Vlad hadn't coughed up his non-muslim tribute at the seething Dracula explains? It was all tapped out thanks to a recent war with Hungary, he then questioned why the ambassador's hadn't removed their turbans as a sign of respect. When they approached him, they replied. It wasn't customary for them to do so. That didn't sit too well with Dracula, who apparently wasn't much of a diplomat. He ordered his guards. Seize the emissaries and nail their turbans to their heads. The Turks died, a horribly painful death. Vlad sent them back to Mecca met the second, with a little note asking that he never said send such uncouth ambassadors to his court again: yeah Vlad they're, the uncouth whites things were about to get real in 1460, they weren't already dude in 1462 Vlad and his Troops they crossed the Danube wreaking havoc wherever they went. He wrote a letter about this On February, 2nd 1462 to the king of Hungary, Mathias vinius, stating i have killed peasants, men and women, old and young who lived at a blue, sit, sir, and not a cell. Oh, maybe where the Danube flows into the sea, we killed twenty three thousand eight hundred and eighty four Turks, without counting those who we burned in homes or the Turks whose heads were cut by our soldiers. Alright, I guess they, you know chopping. The heads off doesn't count, thus your highness. You must know that I have broken the peace in response. Sultan Mehmed the seconds troops led by hamza pasha cross the danube river, moving closer to Alea flats and decoys suffering with everything from the bubonic plague, leprosy and tuberculosis into the enemy's encampments as a form of biological warfare employed a scorched earth campaign. He had far fewer troops than the Turks who came with an army about 90,000 and depended on guerrilla warfare tactics by June, the 16th 1462. The Turks were outside the lakyn capital of Targoviste vlad decided to surprise a tank with the purpose of assassinating magnate ii was his best bet, just after the stroke of midnight on June, the 17th 1462 vlad dracula and his troops attacked the turks desperately rose in defense Against the you la can onslaught for the next several hours, but the carnage was brutal. An estimated 15,000 ottomans were killed in a single night. While this was good for Vlad. It only put a small dent in the enemy army and wasn't his main objective. As mentioned. What he was really trying to do was kill sultan mehmed ii. In spite of all the careful planning confusion set in during the heat of battle, the Sultan's two commanders, Ishaq, pasher and McMahon Pasha were killed, but makhmud escaped unscathed. As dawn approached and the ottomans began. Organizing an efficient counter-attack dracula ordered a retreat without achieving his prime objective. This spelled the end of the famous night attack, which would be heralded as a great day for Christendom and see Vlad names, a hero. What a hero, the Turk, what a war criminal? The Turkish army approached: Targoviste F, four days after and people the Congress time. It was a different time yeah, but he was still in quasi hey. The Turkish army approached Targoviste four days after the night attack the gates of the city wide open and they were greeted by an ominous silence. However, the site before them was unimaginably grotesque. An endless field of decomposing corpses made up of thousands of Turks and Bulgarian Muslims. Impaled in every configuration possible, I told you it had the desired effect according to the 15th century, historian lana'kiss, something or other not in the pronounciation dictionary, so lay on NICUs choke on dolls. Maybe it reads: the Sultan's army came across a field with stakes about three kilometers long into one kilometer wide, and there were large stakes on which they could see the impaled bodies of men, women and children about 20,000 of them, as they sent quite a spectacle for The Turks and the Sultan himself, the Sultan in wonder, Wow, kept saying that he could not conquer the country of a man who could do such terrible and unnatural things. Vlad continued the war, but ultimately wasn't betrayed for reasons unknown today by one of his former allies. The aforementioned King, Matthias Corvinus after Corvinus captured Vlad he was imprisoned, but around fourteen seventy five. He was released and began once again to wage a war against the Turks dude. Let it go some. Two years later he was dead. It isn't clear how or exactly where he died, but it is generally thought he was killed in battle with his head being taken as a trophy by the Turks told you, you should have dropped it dude.

Today I Found Out: Please do go check out squarespace using the link https://www.squarespace.com/brainfood Not only will you get 10% off, but you'll support this show and us being able to do super-deep dives on interesting topics like this one. Thanks! *And note, the author of the red-head part (Daven) is allowed to make these jokes as he has two half-breed daughters whose mother is a redhead and was largely the inspiration for said jokes (and also she found this one hilarious). :-)
Doby Pilgrim: As a redhead, I can confirm that everything you said is correct. The only thing worse than red hair though is a person with no hair at all. Nosferatu was of course bald. So though we redheads may indeed be vampires at times, we have that in common with you, Simon.
Dave Gentleman: This video really pushed Simon's professionalism. I don't think the writers have anything against redheads, they just wanted to make Simon do a double take and maybe break down into hysterical giggles the same way all of us did.
BitzTurn Byte: I still have no idea how to transitioned from red hair to Dracula.
Sciencerely: Being a human biologist, I can tell you that the implications of having the MC1 polymorphism which causes red hair and fair skin is still studied. It is widely known that people with pail skin are at highest risk of developing skin cancer. Of course, a smaller protection against UV light is partially responsible for this. However, right now it seems like the high production of pheomelanin in people with fair skin also directly produces molecules which damage DNA, thereby contributing towards the formation of cancer (would love to make a video about that!). We can still learn a lot about the human body!
Alexander Carroll: As a person with red hair, I found this incredibly offensive, fantastically funny, and also super informative both scientifically and to people’s opinions about my daywalking kin. #redheadrights #satanspawnsubjugation
Shoot The Moon: When did you hire Eric Cartman as a writer?
S. Parrow: As a redhead I can confirm that we have pure evil in our hearts, but that's what makes us fun!
Erich Loehr: Props to Simon for getting in as far in the script as he did with a straight face before going "who-the-hell-wrote-this?"
lagideath: I really love the personal comments that Simon drops into the information every now and then. It's making these videos even more enjoyable to watch!
Just Some Guy without a Mustache: Next video should be: "Why bald is the most efficient hairstyle."
Vicki Mickey: As a natural red head, this was frickin’ hilarious!
Aaron Specht: As a ginger, I laughed so hard. Great job, Dave and Kathy!
Heather Bee!: I absolutely adore how much we're getting glimpses into Simon's personality through his commentary on the scripts.
Carol Hough: I'm a redhead and I'm laughing out loud at home with this!
LadyLenaki: "Dracula wasn't a very good diplomat" is my favorite understatement of the day.
T Chase: Simon cracking up is one of my favorite things. I have NO clue how we got from Satan’s red-headed hussies to Vlad the Impaler, but I enjoyed the ride
rob dez: David and Cathy, you two are hilarious. I haven't laughed out loud watching YouTube in ages. I realize this is satire and hope most of the folks watching, see this as well.
Mango T: When Simon cracks up at the satan script This one was really fun. Thanks Simon! P.S. for all the satan spawn out there, there’s a book called, creatively, “Red”, about well, redheads. It’s really interesting. I gave one to my son-in-law for his birthday.
P0HTAT0: My wife is one of those partial redheads: light skinned auburn haired woman that insist that in the sun she is the richest of RED. And now I can inform her she isn't evil enough to qualify.
PupperFsh: Just being honest here Dying your hair actual red (edit ), DOES NOT make you a actual redhead.
ChiOptnsTdr: Simon isn’t over the red headed girl that broke his heart in college
Roy Lewis: Loved this episode! For a future follow up how about red hair elsewhere on the body? I had a red beard, but I had blonde scalp hair. What are the odds?
Stephanie Littlepage: Anything that makes Simon laugh during a video makes it even more entertaining.
adnoctvn: One if the best videos in a while, well done Simon, very enjoyable.
James Sharpe: This is the funniest episode I’ve seen. And all because of Simon’s reactions
Katrina C: My husband loves to say red heads are evil. Guess my hair color, lol, so he took great delight in sending me this video. Well done!
Arctic Fox Art: Okay, this was hilarious and it's probably one of my favorite videos that you guys have done so far
wp r: Fact: The vast majority of humanity has never seen, in person, someone without black hair.
reddog 458: As a true, authintic, real redhead, who finally gave up on getting a tan in my late 20's, I found this the most funny "Today I Found Out" ever! I will say this about my parents, while both were redheads, only one was a demon. My mom was great.
stormknightmd: There is a book, Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins, that described redheads being made of sugar and lust. Painted my fondness for the sweet passion of redheads since I read it. May the gods have mercy on my soul, because the redheads will exhaust me. My love of redheads proves I not only flirt with Death, I invite her over for Netflix and Chill. XD Love the script. Anytime Simon is paralyzed with confused laughter makes these fun
Tim Forston: 5 year old me: does anything bad My grandmother: I'mma beat you like a redheaded step child!
Valerie Rodger: I was highly amused when I found out about the genetics of this, as I have apparently inherited one copy of the mutated gene from my Scottish father. I recall one summer, as a teenager, spending every possible moment in the sun hoping to get something resembling a tan on my otherwise fish-belly white skin - gradually increasing the amount of time I spent in the sun, and never spending too much time at once, to try to avoid burns. The only thing I seemed to accomplish - other than the inevirable burns - was gaining even more freckles, apparently - and the slight reddish undertone as the sun bleached my hair. In my twenties, I finally gave in and simply finished what nature started by colouring my hair red - the appropriately hair colour to go with my pale, freckled skin.
Cassandra Lewis: Simon and his team has officially lost it due to Covid-19 quarantine! I kind of liked this format better than the normal strait face fact videos, it got me cracking up when he kept going about red heads being evil. Great video to help lighten the mood during such a weird time!
Eladio Cofresi: The red hair gene can even be found in facial hair independent of the head hair. I have medium tone skin, and was surprised to find red hairs in what should have been an otherwise all black beard (and I wonder what this means when it goes with my dark eye circles and "evil" looking eyebrows.) On a side note, from what I do know my paternal grandmother and great grandmother had reddish hair. Both sets of my grandparents were Puerto Rican.
Janice MacEachern: This really entertained me! Simon, your presentation is priceless. Daven and Kathy, great job on the writing and keeping Simon on his toes! lol
Alexis Welsh: I'm pretty sure Daven is letting Simon let loose more and more as time goes on.
Cat Walters: Just a minor note; please don't put us in direct sunlight OR the microwave.
Elora: I'm pretty sure that my family carry the gene (or some of it, at least), though none of us are a natural redhead - we're all blondes, but one of my brothers were born with reddish, or really, really strawberry blond hair, which later on became more blond. None of us have green eyes and are blue eyed or have more grey eyes. There are a lot more stuff that makes me suspect we carry the gene(s). Still, I prefer to color my hair really red, which doesn't look "normal" at all, but it still looks really nice, though. I do have ancestor/ancestors from either Ireland or Great Britain, so I guess that's where those genes comes from. :P
Adam Flannigan: As descents into madness from the lockdown go, I'll give Simon's a 9/10. Very entertaining to watch, though a touch disjointed from time to time.
Danielle Zor-El: I always love Simon's pictures in the thumbnails, they're so hilarious. The video should get a 'like' just for that!
Jack Mason: Yes!!! Thank you, Simon, for bringing some of the Business Blaze flavour to this channel. I enjoy anything that makes me think or that makes me laugh. This video did both.
RainbowRoxGirl: I think me and my dad were supposed to be redheads, but they forgot to turn on the red hair bit. He once got sunburn literally covering his entire back when he had factor 50 suncream on it & a tshirt. I once got a massive burn all over my shoulders from sitting in kinda sun for about 20 minutes without suncream
Cecilia Spears: Always informative and entertaining, however this one is especially so. Especially as I too am redheaded and even when dyeing my hair I can't tame the red no matter how hard I try.
can_kez_sing: I'm so confused how this went from why people have red hair to a Vlad the impaler video lmao I had to check like 3 times to make sure the video didn't change cuz I was like...wtf is happening
Kelly Zydel: Simon going off script is always the most awesome thing ever, especially since it seems he hasn't seen the South Park red head episode.
Master_KayOz: the first six minutes had me in tears As a daywalker, I tend to listen up when hearing appealing descriptions of my unholy nature - this one (combined with the form of presentation) tops them all ^^
Sarah Smith: I love the side comments in this video Simon is so funny also my nephew and his dad are red heads but my niece and my sister have brown hair my nephew just got into his terrible twos but him being a redhead he might never get out of it (I’m kidding I love him)
symonew33: Can you imagine if this is the first video that someone comes across for this channel??
1701spacecadet: Yay! Simon is safe! Also: Vlad was an absolute unit.
lotrdude13: Both of my mother's grandparents were carriers then, since both had brown hair and my mother had bright red hair, though she's been dying it blond the last fifteen years. My sister and I have bits of red in our hair, me more so in my beard, but we both have brown hair. Pretty interesting!
Far Cobra: Daven and Kathy, I am sorry that you had unrequited love for a red head. We are indeed ferocious but fickle lovers, so it may be for the best that you were unable to fly so close to the sun if you already feel so burned. I do hope both of you can find happiness in your lives, even if it will be some sort of cursed, half-happiness without knowing the touch of a red head.
Dawn Elizabeth: The entertainment value of Simon is priceless
randa kaiser: As a ginger, this is funny. Funny enough both my parents had blonde hair as kids then it darkened with age. I have two sisters, the eldest is blonde, the second is a brunette, and lastly myself a ginger. My parents always say they have a JOKE lol
Tiffany Hallmark: I am so happy that you spoke of Vlad III. I have that woodblock print tattooed on my leg. I even had the opportunity to travel to Roamnia to see the sites related to his life. I look forward to going back again.
Abbey: I’ve been friends with an unusually high number of redheads, given the basic statistics. One of them would hate this video, but the rest would love it.
J.: By far the funniest video Simon. This was a fun one to make it seems like
Sonic Shoe: it's been interesting seeing this channel (d)evolve from looking like a demo reel for the next super serious, extremely proper British narrator for a National Geographic nature documentary, to now looking like the second channel for said demo reel that only posts the bloopers from April Fools day scripts where his writers constructed the script to try and get him to break character, and make a bunch of middle-school grade, potty mouthed puns. and yet, it's still somehow reasonably educational.
Kelly Farrar: As a red head. This was fantastic, I cannot stop laughing
Lisa Bowers: Growing up, my family couldn't figure out who I got my red hair from. That was until my brown-headed dad grew out a mustache... that turned out to be *red.* (He tried coloring it, but later shaved it off after the brown color rubbed off on a restaurant napkin!)
Grayson Hagstrom: Thank you for bringing the blaze energy to the other channels makes them even more entertaining
nispelsm: A coworker of mine has dark brown hair, but his beard grows out bright orange. He calls himself a "chinger". Come to think of it, that might be a good topic for another episode: what causes facial hair to be a different color? For example, my hair is a sandy blonde, but my facial hair is pitch black.
Heather Bee!: Daven and Kathy, thank you for a great script
Cyantica: I never laught so much over such grotesc subjects, you're amazing :)
Traquelia Cooper: Oh I almost 4 got out of my own selfish wonders. Mr. Simon, again you are without question the best.. Well presented, exceptionally hilariously interestingly educational.
MV: One of Simon's writers is obviously pulling a prank on a red-haired friend with this video
Kathie Dornbush: As a true redhead, I can confirm I can spend about an hour max out in the sun before I sunburn. Then it fades into freckles. My Mom, younger sister and younger brother all sunburn but it fades into a tan. Darn them. Also I'm the only redhead of 3 children. My Dad's a redhead and Mom's a brunette. Dad was adopted so don't know if either on of his bio parents had red hair or not but my maternal grandmother supposedly was auburn. Or so she said. My Mom says it was dark brown almost black, so who knows where it comes from on my Mom's side. As a side note, apparently I'm an even rarer redhead, as I have blue eyes to go with the hair.
Nama King: Just a few notable mentions from a demon spawn , thanks to the same receptor that gives us red hair it also greatly and I mean GREATLY diminishes the effects of pain reducers, but flip side our pain tolerance is also much higher. But kind of pointless to get a shot of novacaine or lidocaine for any dental surgery as it will have little to absolutely no effect on us, I speak from personal experience . I've had a few molars removed both with and without the supposed numbing effects from a shot and no difference, so much so that I save a few bucks if I can find a slightly twisted dentist (harder than y'all might think) and get him/her to forgo the shots all together. And surgeries are always fun too because the anesthesia is also far less effective normally leading to one waking up part way into the surgery and depending on length maybe even more than once. And always hear very similar kind of reaction "oh (explicitive of choice) you're okay, you're okay just take a few deep breaths for me, it's okay don't move, you're alright...." and a post op lecture of why didn't we say we are resistant to anesthesia despite the fact we did and its all over our medical records . Just glad for the o2 mask cuz a few times I'm not entirely sure the anesthesiologist was wearing the same pants from pre-op to post-op
Warhawk76: Simon's writer was obviously channeling Eric Cartmen for this one...
MagicStar: I feel like over time I've just been watching Simon sink into insanity
Armed Penguin: “If a fork had feelings” I was expecting “or if red heads had feelings” next.
Crystal Eller: Love Simon! He could do a video on how moss grows and I’d watch it all the way thru and Like it
Black Prince: My mom is a red-head from Manchester. Back when she lived with her parents in Manchester and she came home from a New Year's Eve party, she had to check to see if it was okay to enter the house. It was considered bad luck for for the household if the first person to cross the front step on New Year's Day was a red-head. She would often have to wait while her parents found a non red-head to enter the house before she did.
Themistocles Nelson: Simon you have my favorite thumbnails. Regularly have me spitting out my coffee laughing.
Clayton Paisley: I am an *actual* redhead female, not one of those auburn haired imposters. I live in fear of melanoma but my pubic hair is an amazing spectacle to behold and a biblical reference.
T Chase: The giddier you get the more I enjoy your vids I have to say I got NO clue how we got from reds to Dracula. I enjoyed the hell out of the ride though!
César: I remember your more serious past videos, I must say that I really enjoy when you get out of script, you are seriously funny!
Stephanie Desiderio: I am GINGER and I love this!! Hysterically funny and informative.
John Locke: Comedy gold. Great delivery. Truly enjoyed this vid.
Thomas Gregg: I loved this I laughed so hard all facts but your reactions. art.
Yochana: I'm a demon gene carrier as are my parents. I have brown hair but my brother is a redhead as is my grandmother. My husband and both his parents are redheads so we figured our kids never stood a chance. Which ended up being the case because all three of our demon spawn are redheads.
yaniwet: You are the best!!!! So funny and informative at the same time ❤️
BIG DB: I really like how he has relaxed his videos, makes them funnier.
Angela WintersCry: Simon, you were enjoying that waaay too much!!! I must admit, I loved your giggles & commentary.
Lady Phoenix: All the things you say about redheads on this video crack me up. And yes I am a redhead
Texassince1836: My mom and my stepdad (both brown haired carriers) are 3 for 3 in producing redheads. (I on the otherhand have brown hair) Side note my wife and I are 2 for 2 in producing Blonde haired blue eyed males.
Yvette Desmarais: I have very light skin with naturally light brown hair. I had a little spot that was red. So I went with it and dyed my hair a nice natural red. Been that way for decades. I love it. People like it and think it’s natural. My family does have a few real redheads. It’s possible I have the gene but my only child also has brown hair.
Elise Logan: Am an actual redhead. Can confirm evil tendencies. Also the mutation is linked to all kinds of fun things, including alterations in pain tolerance (funnily enough, high tolerance for almost all pain - but much lower pain tolerance for burning. Very inconvenient for burning at the stake issues - but clear advantage given our propensity to being scorched by the sun.) and fun anesthetic responses.

Alex Miller: This is one of my favorite videos so far lol.. keep up the good work
Mr. Roboto: Seems like accurate info. My mother is a red head my dad is blond. I have light brown hair and burn easy. When I let my facial hair grow out it has a red tint to it.
Sharolyn Wells: My grandmother was a redhead. So were my brother and me. My next younger brother had dark blond hair but he had a red beard.
Silentgrace7: I was hoping you would further address half-demon spawn such as the likes of my own during the bonus facts (strawberry blonde, or an incomplete dominance of one of the genes mentioned in this video) but Vlad the Impaler was a sufficient replacement for such discussion fodder
Kayla Pearl CP Ninja: Makes me roll my eyes at how many times he has been mentioning the classic debunked myths about being a redhead. Do me a favor and admit to realizing that these myths and stereotypes are quite hurtful and very annoying. Sincerely, A fellow redhead who is not from Scotland or Ireland, but is a Jewish young adult.
Paul Roberts: Redheads are the sexiest women... I have been in their thrall for most of my life.
Rowan Winn: Yet another reason to be glad I was born when I was and not back in, say, the 14th century. The bright red curls I had when I was born (and for most of my early childhood, if you got my then strawberry blonde hair wet) combined with the fact that I'm left-handed and ADHD with a side of not-quite-autism would've seen me labeled a demon/changeling/witch/who-even-knows for sure.
Sandra Skaggs: As a natural born red head i found this hysterical!
RealmRabbit: I love his commentary on his writer's script lol I also like how the bonus fact about having red hair is the story of Vlad the Impaler... Very relevant...
kimichan5: Quarantine makes him funnier. Love it!
fishy paw: Being Scottish is one of the major causes of red hair. I once went out with a redhead, she didn't have any hair, just a red head.
R Nickerson: I've never really wondered about it, but I've always been grateful. Red hair is beautiful.
