Not sure what that link is supposed to do, it just leads to the video.

!! Sekhmet/The Eye of Ra
* Red explains that the gods and goddesses of Egypt technically could age like mortals. Case in point: Ra, the Sun God, became old as well. More specifically, [[ScatterbrainedSenior he started to go senile]], resulting in him no longer being taken seriously. As payback, Ra created the bloodthirsty lioness goddess Sekhmet from his eye, which is how the Eye of Ra symbol came to be.
* When Ra tries to stop Sekhmet from killing anymore mortals, her response is...
-->'''Sekhmet:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know my illustrious father was such a giant baby!]]

!! Loki Nearly Kills Everybody (Again)
* This myth involves Loki, and as we know by now, this usually involves him being a devious trickster and/or a ButtMonkey. This myth is pretty much almost entirely the latter. HilarityEnsues.
* Red accidentally mentions the Prose Edda being written in the early 1200s ''BCE'', instead of ''CE''. In the comments, [[NeverMyFault she blames Loki for messing with her script.]] The commenters still make fun of her for it.
--> '''Red''': NO GODDAMMIT IT'S 1200 CE NOT BCE NOOOOOO loki you rascal how dare you get into my scripts like this -R\\
'''Punaparta''': Snorri Sturluson, a contemporary of the Bronze Age Collapse.\\
'''thehellhound8582''': haha, now I will confidently claim Snorri lived in icelabd during the bronze age and site YOU as my source. All the nerds will hate you for ever MHUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
* "So let's talk about the time Loki nearly ruined everything. No, not that time. Not the big one either. ''Nearly'' is the operative word. Twilight is still a long ways off. It's only the teatime of the gods."
* The tale literally starts with Odin, Loki, and another character who Red merely mentions as a "dubiously relevant other guy". Said other guy is just represented by text saying [[{{Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail}} "Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film"]]. He's never mentioned ever again.
* When Odin and Loki notice their ox meat isn't cooking, Loki grumbles that Logi better not be messing with him again.
* Loki tries to wack the eagle that ate the good parts of their dinner with a stick. It sticks to the eagle (and presumably the stick sticks to Loki's hands) and it drags him off, smashing him into every nasty-looking obstacle along the way.
* When the eagle (who is actually the powerful Jotunn Þjazi in disguise) successfully kidnaps Iðunn (along with her golden apples) with Loki's help, everyone in Asgard quickly starts aging.
--> '''Freya''': ''(checking Freyr's hair)'' Yup, two more gray hairs back here.\\
'''Freyr''': TWO?!
* When Loki (who is frankly ''quite terrified'' of what will happen if he doesn't clean up his mess) arrives at Þjazi's home to rescue Iðunn while the Jotunn isn't home...
--> '''Iðunn''': Loki, I've got a few complaints-\\
'''Loki''': GET IN LINE, SISTER.
* The rest of the story mostly involves Loki being ''terrified out of his mind'' as he flees from Þjazi. When the rest of the Aesir see him coming and notice he's got a pursuer, they build a massive bonfire so Loki can do a quick dodge around the walls of Asgard, causing Þjazi to fly right into it (or as Red describes it, "suffers the curse of all three of Newton's laws" by being unable to redirect his momentum) and allowing the geriatric Aesir to violently butcher him to death while Loki, still in falcon mode, is still collapsed from stress.
* The video ends on this note:
--> '''Red''': When the feathers finish flying, Iðunn is restored to her place among the gods, and thanks to her apples everybody gets to be young and hot again, so the Aesir can really look and feel their best when they all die horribly in... eh, like a week? Maybe two if Loki needs a nap first. Can't perish gloriously in an apocalyptic conflagration if you ain't cute!\\
'''Loki''': We still on for chucking weapons at Baldr next week?\\
'''Odin''': Of course! He's been looking forward to it all month!

* The Christianization is also lampooned later when Red demonstrates how the Christianized narrative ''completely falls apart'' due to ''multiple different sets of people having claim to being the first to arrive on Ireland'' and trying to shoehorn the whole thing into the timeline of the Bible just makes a mess of things. As one can tell, Red is ''not'' a fan.
