Jay going out on to a street shouting, ringing a bell and wearing a ridiculous costume to make a 10 second gag is the kind of confidence I aspire to have

Patiently waiting for the day they say "we're the map" in map costumes, and "here's the men" revealing their faces under the curtain

The other critical difference between Columbus and Vespucci is that there are a lot of historians who think Vespucci was lying. The area of coastline he claimed to have explored includes the mouth of the Amazon, a truly collosal geographic feature that he just didn't bother to mention. This has led to the theory that Vespucci never actually went to the New World, instead basing his account on plagiarized portions of other today-forgotten explorers' accounts.

Three Map Men videos in just over a months time. This truly is a golden age.

I hereby declare the United States henceforth be referred to as Chad 3.

3:22 The 8-bit rendition of Skin Sofa blended really nicely into the video.

The 8-bit version of Skin Sofa is the ring tone I never knew I needed
-
‘The United States of Sub-par Railways USSR ‘ that got me
-
Lol @ “hot Canada”

4:56 with 308 signatures, that is only slightly less than the 4.5 mlllion signatures asking AH to be removed from the Aquaman 2 movie.
-
3:45 We appreciate how much Jay is trying not to laugh. Well done.
-
Ah yes, exactly how I like my sponsorship segments: 23% useful information, 77% psychological horror.

"Land of the Rising Gun" incredible
-
I’m just rewatching this for some quality map men content and realised the town crier bit was recorded in Enfield Town. Every video I get closer to working out exactly how close I live to Jay, who is (or was) definitely somewhere on the northern part of the Piccadilly line, and thus working out how alert I should be for possible sightings. Very exciting.

I nominate calling the USA, "Hot Canada"

Hi I’m a Cooper-Jonesanian living in the UK

RIP to the guy who bought a map of a random House for almost 300,000 pounds...

As someone from the US that is rewatching this, I found this to be quite entertaining! The fact that "America" can mean, depending on the place and context, either a country or the entire landmass makes for quite a complex situation! Luckily, I have taken 3 years of Spanish classes, so now, I do give thought to this (bucking the rule from 4:35): when speaking Spanish, just to be safe, I use the term Los Estados Unidos to refer to the US, estadounidense to refer to its people, and América only to refer to the landmass! Thanks for the video! Also, I found the town-crier scene at 1:38, the Columbus list at 5:28, the list of names at 5:49 (particularly "the United States of Subpar Railways", which, as someone who is interested in trains, seems to apply to our passenger rail network quite well), the reference to "the USA of America" at 6:02, and the ad to be quite funny!

I’m sorry but the electro remix of ‘skin sofa’ is the greatest thing ever
