The Bizarre Joke Hidden In Star Wars

- Oh! - Nyah.
- Yeah!
Hi.
That bit's over.
So, we want to talk about Star Wars today,
because it's important. - Yeah.
- To people's lives, right?
So I think Star Wars is great, and it's from childhood,
and we all enjoy the presence of Star Wars, in general,
but it's also very, very dumb.
Specifically the names of all the things
that go on in Star Wars.
- Some pretty dumb names. - Pretty dumb names.
The obvious ones like Darth Vader/dark father.
Okay, very clever, George.
But also, like, there's a documentary
about the making of the Phantom Menace,
and George Lucas is talking to his good friend,
Steven Spielberg, showing him puppets and stuff,
and he's talking about the gungas, we know them as gungans,
which is also a dumb name.
But, clearly after that conversation,
maybe even Steven Spielberg was like
"Buddy, you can't call 'em that."
- Yeah, everything in Star Wars has a name,
including that little rat thing,
his name is Salacious B. Crumb.
That's dumb.
Luke has a clone at some point,
in one of the many Star Wars related things that happens.
And they're like, - Zhan trilogy.
- Well, what do we name him? Let's just name him Luuke.
He's got two U's in his name cause he's a clone.
He's not quite Luke, he's Luuke.
- There's the death sticks dealer, what's his name again?
- His name is Elan Sleazebaggano.
- There it is, I'll never remember that,
that's too dumb to remember.
I remember Greedo, which is like very, very dumb.
- [Katie] Right, and Porkins.
- [Cody] And Porkins, ooh.
- Can't forget Porkins. - The fat character.
- Good stuff.
- But Sleazebaggano, that's just lazy.
You know?
It's lazy, it's like "We need a character who's mean,
let's call him Meano Grumphard, or something."
- Isn't there a Meano?
- I think you're thinking of the fictional Star Wars show
that we made called Adventures in Jedi School.
It had a character named Meaners Badso.
(Katie laughs)
That might be what you're thinking of.
- That might be what I'm thinking of.
What's a Yoda called?
- [Katie] Oh, yeah, what is the Yodas?
- [Cody] In the phys, under gender, male.
Species, Yoda's species.
(Josh and Katie laugh)
- "Yoda's species, the species to which Yoda belongs."
- It's mysterious.
- They were small, and green-skinned.
They all looked like Yoda, I guess.
- [Cody] There's the, you might know them as
the Cantina Band, when in reality their name is
Figrin D'an and Modal Nodes?
- Right, right, right, yeah.
- Now when you say reality--
- In the reality of, ooh.
Wow.
Oh no, I need to rethink my life.
This band, Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes,
play a specific type of music, and it's called jizz.
- Mmm.
- Um.
- Mmm. - Okay.
- That's funny, because if you asked me
"The style of music they play in Star Wars,
"What would you call that?"
I would say "That's a dumb question,
"I don't need an answer to it."
It's just the music they're playing in Star Wars.
- But the answer is Jizz.
This is just so bizarre and funny that this exists,
because any human being that is making this would go
"Oh, but, George, you're calling it Jizz?
"And you must know."
This was actually introduced in the novelization
of Return of the Jedi, and it wasn't even saying
"Oh, this is Jizz." (snicker)
It was referring to a musician as a Jizz-wailer.
- [Katie] Yes.
- So, if you're a Jizz-wailer, - That's worse.
- You play Jizz.
- I kinda need to know how that meeting went down.
"It's like Jazz, but it's Star Wars,
"we can't call it jazz, because it's the future/past.
"And they would say jazz in the past/future."
Let's make it sound kinda jazzy.
- Blazz. - Blazz isn't jazzy enough.
- Crazz. - No, not quite.
- Jabz. - We're getting close.
- Jobz. - Really close.
- Jizzm. - There we go, that's the one!
We're gonna do that one.
- I was gonna say come?
- [Josh] One of the jizz instruments
is called a Jizz-box.
- Yep. - Oh, good.
- Mama's got a Jizz-box, daddy only sleeps at night.
- Also a peel rod. (laughs)
- Jizz is based off of jazz, obviously.
- Ohhh! - There, that's the, uh-huh.
(Josh scats)
- [Cody] So, jazz, the origin of that word
actually is unclear, also.
Many people think that it is based off the word Jizz.
And they're like "Aw, yeah, it's like,
"sweet, sweet jazz." - Yeah.
- That's where that word came from.
- So like, rock and roll is sex.
- Yeah, so like maybe the author of the novelization
of Return of the Jedi is really, really clever.
- Right, because this is long ago in the future/past,
before they made the move from jizz to jazz.
- And then in the future/past, or the past/future,
you're gonna name your music off of jazz,
which we invented based off of yours.
- In the future. (stutters)
- Star Wars is dumb? - Yeah it is dumb.
- So like, Hahn Solo crash landed on Earth in the 20's,
and taught them jazz, and then also taught
Marty McFly rock and roll, so that he could go to 1955
to teach rock and roll to Chuck Berry.
- But then he lost his memory,
and that's how we got Regarding Henry.
