- Be careful what you say because those

words

could be your

last

. - Let's talk about it. ♪ (musical theme) ♪ - Good morning mythical! - First of all we want to inform you that our next sketch, the second, on Sketchtober is now available. We have pre-released it exclusively on Vessel. Go to Vessel.com/rhettandlink - Yes. to see "Camping". Or click the link in the description. - Link, I hate to break it to you, but you're probably going to die. And by probably I mean you're definitely going to die. - Well, you'll probably be there with me, so. - Pssh, probably.

You don't have any control over whether you're going to die or not, but you do have control over what you're going to say before you die. So today we're going to look at some

words

, some

famous

last

words from some

famous

people. See how good you are at guessing the correct last famous words. And in the process you might learn how to prepare for your famous last words. - Well. This is a death preparation session. Let's do it! - Yes, preparation for death! It's time to play: What did these people who died say right before they died?

Well, Link, you have three lifelines. The first is Ask a Dead Person, where we have a famous dead person come into the studio and help you with your answer. - Oh, the ghost of the dead man? - I don't know. - Or are you going in... - It could be a real dead person. - ...a dead person? - The second lifeline is that we're going to murder two of the wrong answers and leave you with two answers... - Ohh, yeah. - ...To choose from. And the third is, insinuations of rigor. Where I will give you a clue while you are in a state of rigor mortis. - Well.

Well. - And if you win, you win, this death rattle! (rattle) Death rattles are something that happens to you when you die, but it's also this. - (crew laughs) - Okay. That's a real... - Yes. The author of "Peter Pan", or Arthur as a child would say, of "Peter Pan", the Scottish novelist and playwright Sir James Matthew Barrie, spoke these words while lying in his bed of death due to pneumonia. - Hmm. Poor guy. A: Dying would be a tremendously great adventure. B: Bring me my slippers. -C: I can't sleep. - (laughs) - O D: I just got back from Neverland and my arms are tired! -Now, "Bring me my slippers" highlights the first thing I want to point out about preparing your last words is that sometimes you don't know you're dying and if he didn't know, maybe he would have just wanted something for his feet. . , like shoes. - True true. - But I hope he said: "Dying would be a tremendously great adventure." - That's my ending...

Yes. - Final answer? - That's a great answer... That's a great answer. I'll accept it if he didn't say it. - That's great, that's wrong, Link! The correct answer is: "I can't sleep." C: I can't sleep. - So I'm going to die? There had to be another option, like having a midnight snack. - Don't ask me, I'm not him. And before we continue, you must get four out of seven in order to win that death rattle. - Four out of six because I was only wrong in one. - That's how it is. - Alright. The French philosopher, playwright, novelist, political activist, biographer and literary critic, Jean-Peal Sarte, turned to his companion, Simone D'Beauvoir, whom he referred to as "Beaver", - who was Rah referring to? ?

That's not a French pronunciation of referred to. (crew laughs) - (French accent) "Referred to" as "Beaver" as he lay dying, and said these last words: A. I never knew your eyes were hazel, beautiful Beaver B. Without you I would surely have died years ago, my beautiful Beaver C. I love you very much, my dear Beaver Or D. I leave it to you, Beaver (everyone laughs) This is a staging... I leave it to Beaver. - Oh. Leave It to Beaver is a television show. - Yes it is. And apparently we've all seen it! - From the past.

All of these answers have the word Beaver in them, so I can't be wrong! - Mmm, mmm. - But is there only one correct answer? Or could he have said all of this in quick succession? -I think he is known for saying one of them. - Hmm. This is tough, man. I mean these are all kind of beaver. Like a

game

of chance, but with a beaver. - Yes, like hunting beavers. - Uh, I need it, let's go ahead and kill two of these, right away. - Well. Very well, we are going to murder B. and of course, D. - Ah! - So we were left with A. and C. - I love you very much, my dear Beaver, I never knew...

I never knew your eyes were hazel, it's a great story, it's worth telling, beautiful Beaver. I'm going with that. I was never this close to her until she was dying. Sad comment, but I think that's all. - Wow, Link. And it's wrong. - I mean, that would be a cool story. -Her name is Beaver, he hangs out with her all the time, he knows what color her eyes are. - I love you very much, okay, it's nice that he loves someone. I'm glad he said that, I'm glad I misunderstood. - Wow. Convicted murderer Thomas J. Grasso used his last words to say what about his last meal, just before he was executed by lethal injection? - Hmm. - A.

I didn't eat my spaghetti, I ate spaghetti. I want the press to know this. - (laughs) - B. Congratulate the chef. My ribeye was perfectly medium rare. C. It was my last meal, at least they could have given me some salt! O D. I ate a liver with some beans and a good Chianti. (makes Hannibal whistles) (crew laughs) - Hannibal Lecter. Okay, spaghetti, I like it. - Yes me too. - I mean, they're killing him, so he's probably cynical about it. So that's what makes me want to go with C. It's my last meal, they could have AT LEAST given me some salt. - Well, final answer? - No, I'll change it to B.

Kudos to the chef, my ribeye was perfectly medium rare! - Still wrong. (team laughter) - It's A. I didn't eat my spaghetti, I bought spaghetti, I want the press to know this. He actually said that. - Well, the good thing is that the press knows it. - Well. And now. Here's the deal. - The bad thing is that I was wrong. - (shakes rattle) To win this... - I want that rattle! - ...death rattle, you have to do all four well. - Man. I mean, this is hard. This is a difficult thing. All this death, death.

Death is hard, man. - Things about death are difficult (laughs). - They are not that famous. I haven't heard of any of these last words. - Right before comedian Bob Hope? - I've heard about him. Well, he is a famous person! -Died of pneumonia at the age of 100, his wife asked him where he wanted to be buried and he responded with these last words, A. Surprise me. (laughs) B. On the ground. - Oh! C. By your side, baby. OR D. WAIT! - (laughs) - And he's a comedian. So... - Yes, it is. - ...real answers are funnier than the D. you made up. - Seacrest took care of everything. - Well Surprise me is very fun.

I'm going to pick the one I think is the funniest because he's a funny guy. -He's a funny guy. - On the ground it's very funny, but it's more of a Don Rickles joke. - Right, definitely Don Rickles. - Um, next to you, the baby is sweet, no joke really. - Right, right, right. - Uh, surprising me is morbidly hilarious. I hope he said that. A. Surprise me. - You're right, Link! - Yeah! Surprise me. - Okay and let's go... - Bob Hope, always funny, until the end. - As we get to these last three, you have two lifelines, okay? - Well. -John Adams, the second president of the United States and co-drafter of the Declaration of Independence, spoke the name of this person as he stepped into the unknown, A.

Benjamin Franklin-I know him. B. George Washington C. Thomas Jeffershon (laughter) Jefferson Jeffershon! Close relative of Thomas Jefferson. - I know. - Or Mr. Steve Buscemi - Hey, that's right, I've seen the documentaries... - Right. - ...They are incredible. I have seen the series. - Good. Repeatedly. - Thomas Jeffershon. - That's right, Link! And you know what, I knew you'd seen that, I hoped you'd understand. - Oh, you threw me a bone, now I'm going to get that one. - Well. Two more, you must get both right. - MMM. - The last criminal executed under Oklahoma's death penalty law in the electric chair, James Donald French, shouted these last words at the top of his lungs, before the switch was flipped: A.

You never will. Stop being old French! Not even in death! B. Hello friends! How's this for the headline in tomorrow's paper? French fries! C. I've never been to Paris, but you can be sure I'm French! O D. ♪ Let's play Electric ♪ Together - ♪ Avenue, and then we'll take you higher ♪ (laughs) - I LOVE that song. - Yes, it's great. Yes. - Thanks for putting THAT in my head. - Yes, it's good. - That song has a great story too, if you ever want to hear it. Great story. - Actually? - This is a robbery. - Yes, this is about a guy who was executed and said those words. - No, eh, let's see.

I'm going to say "Ask a dead man." Oh, it's fine! Can we summon the dead man please? The famous deceased enters the premises. - Okay... (crew laughter) - Who could you be, dead person? Chase - You can find out if you just... Imagine... (crew laughter) - It's American John Lennon. - You sound EXACTLY like John Lennon. (laughs) - You didn't even try! The accent. (laughs) - Okay, okay. -He is more of a visual personification. - Okay, Johnny, which one of these is it? You have never failed me until now, Chase Lennon. - I have not done it.

I think I'm a fan of French fries. - I think they are also fries! - So... - Mmmm. - Because you know you're going to die, you're on death row for a while, you're thinking about what's the best thing you can say, that's... - Yes. Yes. - ...perfect conditions for big and famous last words. A. is too challenging, has no humor at all, I really think I love B too.. So I'm going to follow Lennon-ster on this. B.- Well you did it well, Link! - Yeah!! - They are fries. - Okay, what was that about giving me two? - That's my favorite of the whole list. - Yes, that's OK. - Well, getting into the final question... - Well, it all comes down to this... - ...you have to do it right. - ...for the shaker. -The editor of the English Dialect Dictionary, Joseph Wright, what last word did he utter before dying of pneumonia? - First of all... - Many deaths from pneumonia. - ...people die of pneumonia, people.

A. Dictionary B. Absurd C. Goodbye O D. pneumoultramicroscopicsilico-vulcanoconiosis - There's a volcano somewhere in that, I didn't hear you say volcano. The longest word in the English dictionary. - Yes, I didn't say it right. - Thats not all. But I'm still going to give myself some Rigor-Morhints, just because... Oh, okay. (feigning rigor mortis) "Word" - Word? (crew laughter) Why were you shaking too? It's like rigor mortis is rigid, it's not like a tremor like in a seizure. - But studies show that when you try to speak during rigor mortis, you shake. - Word?! Did you say word? - You may have. - Well, that's all, three candidates are words. - That's true, Link.

Actually, all four are words. - Why would I say dictionary? That is simply absurd. The farewell makes too much sense. I'm going to choose Absurdo, for the win. - I guess I'll stick with this death rattle! - Oh! What is it? - It was a Dictionary, that's why I said Word! - Did he say Dictionary? How he died? (crew laughter) - He's the dictionary guy! It's like I want you to remember what I did on this earth (old man's voice) "Dictionary!" - If you have to say what you did right before you died, you didn't do it well enough to be remembered for it. - Oh, I'm going to say Mythical Good Morning right before I die, in case you forgot. (laughs) - I'm going to say Dictionary.

I'm going to go on record. For example, I'm going to say Dictionary when I die, because of this. - Well, tell us in the comments what your last words will be, and also thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing! - Do you know what time it is. - "Hi, my name is Ashlynn and this is Bob, we're from Marquette and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythology!" - Be sure to check out that second Sketchtober sketch! Only on boat.com/rhettandlink for the next few days. - Click on Good Mythical More, where Rhett has some more questions for me and we'll determine what our final words will actually be.

Dictionary? I don't know. (bells ring) - Wow! Wow, woof, woof, woof! - Congratulations to... - The nicest guy, Corey Schult! On twitter. You win a personalized Good Mythical Morning. Do you know who should really run for president? (robot voice) @the_nicest_guy - Yes, (robot voice) @the_nicest_guy should definitely consider throwing his hat in the ring. - (robot voice) @the_nicest_guy has my vote!
