History Funny / AtunSheiFilms

* "Slavery in New Orleans" is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a mostly heavy subject]] but at the end, he explains how slaves invented what would come to be known as jazz, which some consider to be America's "greatest gift to the world". He thinks the [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Spicy McChicken]] deserves that title, but that's just his opinion.

* For the Funny tab of''Checkmate Lincolnites'', go [[Funny/CheckmateLincolnites here]].

[[folder:Checkmate Lincolnites!]]
* "Checkmate Lincolnites" involves Johnny Reb directly quoting Confederate apologists in Youtube comment sections. One comment is so incoherent that Johnny has to get drunk on spiked coffee before he can properly say it.
* [[ItMakesSenseInContext The Witchfinder General exorcising Klaus the Nazi from Johnny Reb]], complete with [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers Lord of the Rings]] references.
* Johnny Reb prays to God for help debating Billy Yank. God appears [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith with Obi-Wan Kenobi's face]] and greets him with a [[MemeticMutation "Hello there."]] He also tells Johnny that Christmas is an evil pagan holiday and Catholics and Quakers are Devil-worshipers who should be killed.
* In "Did The Confederacy Have Better Generals?", Billy Yank introduces Grant by reciting one of his demands for unconditional surrender with a [[EvilSoundsDeep distorted, deep demonic voice]] as Johnny Reb cowers in terror.
* In the same video, Johnny tries to change the subject.
-->'''Johnny:''' I propose we switch our focus to the Western theater.
-->'''Billy:''' [visibly winces] [[CurbStompBattle You sure you want to do that Johnny?]]
* Johnny mocks Ulysses S. Grant for being a drunk, right as Billy [[HypocriticalHumor pours them both a drink.]]
* After Johnny makes a particularly bad argument, Billy tells him "If you dropped an atomic bomb on the truth, what you just said wouldn't even get radiation burns."
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYj9CSxlGSk&ab_channel=Atun-SheiFilms Was GENERAL SHERMAN a WAR CRIMINAL?!?!?!?!]]" concludes with Billy Yank asking Johnny Reb to finish the episode with one of his quirky comments. After some humble, light-hearted hesitation, Johnny [[MoodWhiplash suddenly]] explodes into an unhinged NewEraSpeech that leaves Billy flabbergasted.
* Every episode usually begins with Johnny Reb, after appearing to get the initial upper hand on a debate with Billy Yank, triumphantly shouting "CHECKMATE, LINCONITES!" as a bombastic version of "Dixie" begins to play in the background. He will then stare directly at the camera for several seconds with a [[SlasherSmile way-too-wide smile]] while Billy Yank either protests or just looks annoyed. This is parodied in "Did the CONFEDERACY Have BETTER GENERALS?!?!?!" where the opposite happens and it's Billy Yank who gets the upper hand in an exchange, leading to him, clearly at a loss at what to do, to say "Checkmate... Davisites?" in an awkward way and then an equally bombastic version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" plays.
* "Wasn't it KINDA About STATES' RIGHTS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
** In the usual part where Johnny Reb bases his viewpoints on [=YouTube=] comments, one of them is a dissertation on states' rights, as per the episode's theme... that suddenly ends with "also, I must ask, are you an anarcho-syndicalist?" The non-sequitur clearly leaves Billy Yank confused, who says that, since he doesn't know what that means, he guesses that no, he isn't.
** Johnny and Billy discussing Shays' Rebellion.
--->'''Johnny:''' Sounds like a bunch of trouble-making freeloaders looking for a handout!\\
'''Billy:''' They were white.\\
'''Johnny:''' [[VerbalBackspace Brave rebels! The tree of liberty must be watered by the blood of patriots!]]
** Johnny Reb's [[EveryoneHasStandards horror]] at hearing UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson talking about slavery and Native American displacement.
** The chain of events after discussing the Confederacy's abandonment of states' rights in favor of authoritarianism:
*** UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson rolls over in his grave at Monticello so violently that not only Billy and Johnny feel it in Louisiana, but they later see in a newscast that it causes an earthquake that pretty much obliterates Monticello and its surroundings in Virginia.
*** Johnny gets a call and is disgusted because it's a 202 area code (Washington DC).
*** Said call is from UsefulNotes/JoeBiden, who asks Billy Yank to try to not make any similar discussions, lest they cause any similar incidents somewhere else, like Mount Vernon.[[note]]UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington's home.[[/note]] Billy then tries asking Biden if there has been any progress regarding the suggestion about reparations for African-Americans he made during his Presidential campaign, but Biden only responds with silence and deep breathing for close to a minute before hanging up.
* "Is Civil War History Being REWRITTEN?!?!?!?!?!"
** Billy lampshades Johnny switching between completely insane and totally reasonable at the drop of a hat, saying it really weirds him out.
** Billy provides Johnny with a whole duffel bag full of racist, pro-slavery quotes from Confederate soldiers. Johnny uses LastSecondWordSwap to avoid using [[NWordPrivileges the n-word]] as he reads some.
--->'''Johnny (quoting real Confederate diaries):''' I will show the Yankees that a white man is better than a n- Ahhh, that's a bad word [...] I love home and all that surrounds it as much as anybody, but if I have to be equal to a n- [[RapidFireNo Nope! Nope nope nope nope!]]
** While [[spoiler:the ending]] is overall [[NightmareFuel pretty chilling]], the fact that Stonewall Jackson and [[AnArmAndALeg his severed arm]] have separate graves is [[BlackComedy worth a chuckle or two]].
** The fact that [[spoiler:zombie Jefferson Davis]] is played as a {{Camp}}y ColdHam.

--> '''Atun-Shei''': [[NoAnimalsWereHarmed No Englishmen were harmed in the making of this documentary]].

* Jett's flashback, where he is working in his office with his partner, starts as a typical Film Noir story, where a mysterious woman walks in and tells them she has a case for them. Jett and his partner is taken somewhat aback, and begins to explain to her that regular civilians can't just randomly enter an FBI agent's office and hire them for a job, they're government employees and it's their higher-ups that tells them what cases to investigate. When the woman explains that she is actually quite wealthy, Jett immediately drop all reservations and asks her why she just didn't say that right away.

* In "The Corsican Dildo", Alexis, who is revealed to be the leader of Antifa, explains to Jett that Antifa is seeking the titular MacGuffin, as it is worth a fair bit of money, and they plan on investing said money in such "diabolical" schemes as reparations for disadvantaged minorities affected by decades of systematic racism, community gardens in urban areas and food deserts so that even the poorest can grow themselves a healthy and nutritious meal, and homeless shelters that offers free healthcare. Jett is [[FauxHorrific outraged]].
