** "The Election That Ruined Everything (And If It Never Happened)" explores if UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt, not UsefulNotes/WoodrowWilson, had been elected President in 1912, and boy, its tone is ''melancholy''. Cody argues that Woodrow Wilson was an arrogant hypocrite whose mismanagement and late response to UsefulNotes/WorldWarI set the stage for the rise of [[UsefulNotes/RedOctober communism]], [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany fascism]], UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, and UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror. By contrast, had Teddy Roosevelt been in charge, many of these horrors might not have happened because of Roosevelt's competence and realistic view of the world.[[note]] Teddy Roosevelt also would've pushed for social reforms like bans on lobbying and social welfare.[[/note]] Cody laments the better 20th century that could've existed had Teddy Roosevelt been in charge at that crucial moment.

*** The idea is certainly a shocker but [[Main/SubvertedTrope the video itself suggests a better outcome if Big Bird was to be present]]

** “The Decision That Ruined The Middle East” which covers the Sykes Picot agreement. Every conflict in the modern Middle East can be traced back to Britain and France screwing over the Arabs by promising them a unified homeland if they rebelled against the Ottomans only go behind their back and carve up the Middle East’s borders. The rise of dictators like Assad and Saddam, the Israel/Palestine conflict, the rise of Islamic extremism, ethnic groups like the Kurds being denied a state for themselves, all happened because of the decision of two long dead empires. Cody goes on to state that we’re in the darkest timeline for the region.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Amid 2019, ''Knowledge Hub'' and Tyler's topics and style of presentation have become increasingly bizarre, with crude animations, Gmod videos, slurred speech and trippy effects all to prove a greater point.

** "What if Big Bird Exploded in the Challenger Disaster?" The title speaks for itself, but it's somehow worse than that. Due to a combination of the way Muppets are treated (both in their own canon and in real life) like real people and celebrities as opposed to mere puppets, as well as Caroll Spinney's iconic performance as Big Bird and just basic tact, Jim Henson would have no choice but to essentially declare Big Bird KilledOffForReal in ''Series/SesameStreet'' proper.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOB3qVoS6Gs "What if the Drug War Never Occured?"]] is a thorough condemnation of the War On Drugs and explains how the United States and Mexico would both be better off if it never happened.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3VQULyT390 "How the American Media Fuels A Cycle of Violence"]] It's contains a message similar to Music/BlueStahli's song "Shoot Em Up." It's about how the media almost glorifies shooters by talking about the shooter's life and motives and inspires copy-cat shooters. It also talks about how the cycle is getting faster and there's more shooters and more covering of shooters of the news and sensationalism of these is making things worse.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCuoj5Dz6VI "Why War With Iran Is Just....A Horrendous Idea"]]. As the title of the video said, the U.S. Administration under Donald Trump making attempts to declare war with Iran would only lead to a disastrous repeat of the Iraq War (as Cody bluntly states in the opening "Look how Iraq went. There, video done."). Cody also hammers it in that those who support war with Iran, such as John Bolton, still haven't (or actively refuse to) learn the lessons and consequences of the past war.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGijp9jGdUU Turkey "Intervened" With the Kurds Because of A Phone Call (So Here's Some Context)]]. Cody condemns Donald Trump for withdrawing American military support to the Kurds and allowing Turkey to invade north-eastern Syria, leading to the Kurds being massacred by Turkish forces, exacerbating the Syrian Civil War, and deeply staining America's reputation.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOm8EwuJ94 "What if Germany Had Been Split Differently After WWII?"]] condemns unfiltered revenge as a policy-making tool, stating flatly that the Morgenthau plan[[note]]Balkanizing Germany, completely deindustrializing the Rhineland, and reverting the country to an agrarian state, which without industrial fertilizer would result in a famine killing 25 million Germans[[/note]] would have been an excessively cruel punishment on par with the Holodomor and the Holocaust, effectively [[NiceJobBreakingItHero validating the Nazis]]. Any governments left behind would not be supported by the people and will swiftly collapse due to lack of food, economy and institutions when foreign support pulls out.
