Bob Hale is by far my favourite character. I think he's developed so well. I just hope that one day he tells me about the Cold War and War Politics so I can pass my GCSE.
It's kind of interesting to think that if not for Cromwell being a vicious authoritarian that no one liked, who basically just wanted to replace one Cavalier tyrant (pun intended) with himself - England might well have gotten rid of the monarchy altogether in the 1600's.
Yeah. The royals got their revenge on Cromwell by digging up his corpse, putting it on trial, and then beheading it. And no, I’m not making that up. That actually happened.
I’ve been using ‘as much fun as stinging nettle underpants’ and ‘as useful as a jelly pickaxe’ virtually my whole life and I only recently remembered that they came from Horrible Histories.
Be interesting seeing them cover the Balkan Wars: "Hello, and welcome to the News at When. When? The 1990s, when the people of Southeastern Europe decided that they couldn't live with each other anymore and started to go their separate ways. Here to explain is Bob Hale, with the Yugoslavia Report." ... "So Lord Carrington comes up with this new plan called the, well, Carrington Plan, which will make all six republics independent. However, the Serbian President, Slobodan Milošević, doesn't want to dissolve Yugoslavia, so he refuses to sign. Guess he 'Slobodan' that idea!" ... "So by now, all that's left of Yugoslavia is the republics of Serbia and Montenegro, and that is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because in 2003 the country decides to change its name to, er, Serbia and Montenegro, and that is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because in 2006, Montenegro finally catches up with everyone else and decides that it now wants independence after all, so Serbia and Montenegro divides into... well, Serbia and Montenegro. And that really is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because just two years later, Kosovo declares independence from Serbia, only this time Serbia isn't quite so keen on losing yet more territory and refuses to recognise it, and that really, really is the end of that. OR IS IT? After all, this is the Balkans, where everyone hates each other, so who knows what will happen next? Back to you, Sam."
If anyone is interested in learning more about the civil wars, I recommend Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" podcast. It gives a good overview of this period :)
Yeah, he wasn’t great for anyone except puritans ! Though in fairness the reason he chose to invade Ireland was because they had attacked Protestants living there and they’d supported the king during the civil war .
I know what you mean about parts of history boring you. I don't care for the Progressive Era of U.S history, possibly because I always connect The Jungle by Upton Sinclare to it (I HATE that book).
Wales isn't mentioned because it was in union with England since 1301 and the civil war began in 1642. Scotland was joined with England only because it's kings began to rule England too.
I know I'm like 11 years late but actually fun fact james vi of scotland and 1 of england died in 1627, not 25. but aside from that i absolutely love hh its my favourite show EVER and i cant imagine life without it i just hope it continues so i can pass my gcse and a-levels.
It is entirely inaccurate to refer to it as the British Civil War, as it was not Britain's war, but England's; simply because the Scots, and some Welsh took part it in, does not constitute it as "their" war. This was a civil war for England. Britain manufactured a few steamers for the Confederacy in the American Civil War, and thus, somewhat, had a hand in that war, yet it is not called the "Anglo-American Civil War", nay, it was the American Civil War, no matter who took part form the outside.
To quote TVtropes, it wasn't English, because it involved the Scots and the Irish, it was several wars and not one war, and it certainly wasn't civil. I will one up them by saying it isnt even "the." (Don't be too serious, yeah?)
Charles I should've transitioned to full Catholicism and asked the Spanish for a loan for his wars. He could even make a case of it being a religious war because the Scots are Protestant. They'd have happily given him the money he needed.
Did i just hear that there used to be a civil war with people who wanted a king, and people who wanted parlament, i thought those were two different things
''Another win for the King up North, taking Preston, Wigan and Liverpool-- *Where my cousin Ted runs a dry-cleaners, just off the highstreet, and half price on Wednesday.* XD
@cuddleyduddley123 Being unknown or poor does not equal being a "nobody" from an ethical point of view. Of course if you're rich and powerful you have more resources at your disposal, but I don't see this as a prerequisite for great deeds.
I'm using this video to come up with a counter-argument in my essay against my professor who insists on using the Marxist view that the English Civil War was actually a full-blown revolution between Diggers and Royalists instead of Cavaliers and Roundheads.
I’ve never heard that before. I thought the diggers were a small group with relatively no stake in the civil war - more just background action. Your professor sounds kinda stupid
It was minimally the Scots' war and the Welsh's war. And it was called the English Civil War for exactly that - it is the civil war for the English. Don't try to talk down to me about what words were and weren't used, I have more knowledge of history than you can imagine. And yes, the British never fought in the American Civil War. Why do you bring this up? What's your point?
Ridley369 I don’t know who you’re replying to, but I was told it’s known these days under the umbrella term- ‘the Wars of the Three Kingdoms’- this way it includes the two Bishop’s Wars in Scotland, in 1639 & 1640, the Irish Rebellion of 1640 & there were, in fact, three phases for the English Civil Wars- the battles were fought all over the British Isles; the Scots had divisions of Royalists & Covenanters (Puritans, sort of) & their battles could be pretty vicious; some battles were fought entirely in Scotland, & Scottish Royalists were also serving alongside their English counterparts - I mean, technically, the war even spread to America... The Battle of the Severn... the Plundering Time... A fortress in Wales was one of the last Royalist strongholds to surrender. Edited for grammar
@aussieyugoslavian Eh... My cousins have the same surname as me, because they are the children of my father's brother. So logically we all have the same surname. Ontopic: Bob Hale is just great!
It was as much the Scots and Welsh war as it was the English because they fought in it and thus were as much as involved in it as the English were. It was only called the 'English civil war because the word Britain was'nt used much back then. The British never fought in the American civil war.
You nearly quoted the part of the Declaration that states citizens' right to "alter or abolish" an abusive government. And, the Declaration and Constitution rely heavily on LOCKE and Montesque (I hope I spelled that right because I'm not breaking out the dictionary at 10:30 at night).
Bob Hale is by far my favourite character. I think he's developed so well. I just hope that one day he tells me about the Cold War and War Politics so I can pass my GCSE.
But Death is also quite good
Did you pass your GCSE History?

@Hazie995 Well done! Shame we won’t get to take our exams - what with corona and all.
Can't believe I am using this to prepare for a seminar :S
How did you do
"...Is about as much fun as stinging nettle underpants" I am going to use that one
I know this comment is 10 years old but I still use that saying to this day

@Thomas Swann Ok grumpy
"and then he runs out of stuff to ban, gets bored, and dies" wow this is defo what a horrible history person would say
Irish: Ding dong! The snitch is dead!

The world needs a “Bob Hale ‘BUT NOT FOR LONG’” compilation.
I've seen one, i think it was by youtube user HI_IM_A_SHOUTY_MAN but im not sure
I love Larry as Bob, he's hilarious😂

This taught me much more in 3 minutes than in a few months back in Year 8.
Even though I'm doing the wrong time period.

This guy is the best actor out of them all he's hilarious lol
Wow, that is one take. What a performance!
👏
I don’t know why but the candle instead of the lightbulb at 2:03 made me chuckle 😂
I like the splash when Charles I kicks the Parliament into the North Sea.
3:00 "raspberry and lime flavour" 😂 😂
@Thomas Swann Ok? this was commented when i had a rubbish sense of humour

I get to watch this in History. I love History. :D
Great! Lucky you.
this show understands me
POV: your in secondary school and your teacher send you this
POV: your in secondary school and your watching this for the nostalgia
Why did everyone in my class hate him he's a absolute legend
Ow we irish know all about Cromwell
Yeah, he wasn’t great for anyone except puritans ! Though in fairness the reason he chose to invade Ireland was because they had attacked Protestants living there and they’d supported the king during the civil war .
this is the best way i can learn history
yes
I wish I can talk as fast as Bob Hale
Is it just me or does Bob fancy Sam?
I am a(n umenployed) high school history teacher and I would definately use this as well as Europa Barbarorum to spice up the classes.
Yay king Charles boo parlement
God save the king !!
That's much better than the version I had at school.
So Cool!
Horrible histories is like the most amazing unknown thing on earth.
Especially bob hale
Unknown? Have you been to the UK?
3:08 Wait, what was his name again?
I think at the end he was talking about Sam
Ooh!!
oooooh
This helped me do my homework haha
Same XD

This show, is what I use for Research
I know what you mean about parts of history boring you. I don't care for the Progressive Era of U.S history, possibly because I always connect The Jungle by Upton Sinclare to it (I HATE that book).
If the news was more like this i would watch it much more often.
Wales isn't mentioned because it was in union with England since 1301 and the civil war began in 1642. Scotland was joined with England only because it's kings began to rule England too.
It's off of a kids TV show called Horrible Histories.
Where can I get an 'I love Catholics' t-shirt and a jelly pickaxe?
I got showed this in a university lecture lol
We need bob hale to tell us about COVID-19
I know I'm like 11 years late but actually fun fact james vi of scotland and 1 of england died in 1627, not 25. but aside from that i absolutely love hh its my favourite show EVER and i cant imagine life without it i just hope it continues so i can pass my gcse and a-levels.
How come all over the internet it’s 1625 where is the source for the year being 1627 of his death?

Yay AP Euro test on English Civil War tomorrow! Thanks for the video.
funny as hell loved this
I couldn't stop thinking about 'Oliver Cromwell' by Monty Python while watching this. I suppose it's because it's sort of relevant.
Raspberry and lime flavour, mind

But he wasn’t catholic
1 person is as fun as nettle pants and one is as useful as a jelly pickaxe

bob hale for king of the world.
Epic
Did i just hear that there used to be a civil war with people who wanted a king, and people who wanted parlament, i thought those were two different things
Poor Oliver Cromwell, he was really trying hard to be good. Too bad he wasn't around to kick the Tudors off the throne.
@aBUTLERtoDIEfor funny as it sounds, but i watched a few clips of horrible histories and so far no mentioning of wales
a dislike...?
Must be the guy who has to fix the thingy ;)
''Another win for the King up North, taking Preston, Wigan and Liverpool-- *Where my cousin Ted runs a dry-cleaners, just off the highstreet, and half price on Wednesday.* XD
“I love Catholics tee-shirt” l😂Bob Hale is hilarious! Larry Rickard’s frantic speed is pulled off perfectly
No wait, damn it i typed it wrong, is parlament and having a king the same thing?
this is the funniest learning video ever!

We all know ur not here for the history but ur here for that one line
You watch for the history....
But not for long 😂
Brilliant. But where was mention of the Battle of Worcester in 1651 when the Scots backed Charles 2 . . And lost Again !
OK in the description it says a historical weather man, how is he a weather man?!?!?!

The civil war actually began at the gates of the city of Hull East Yorkshire

good bye charlies head
And indeed, goodbye kings and queens altogether.

You know.. This show is made for kids with "adhd" :)
I didn't know that Charles I and Parliament teamed up to overthrow Cromwell
3:30 THAT IS MAHOGANY D:

How do They fix The war -o-meter
Who else got sent this by there teachers
I want kids with Bob Hale
about 11 years of Republicanism... that's it.

Is it just me, or did Sam look like she detested Bob at 3:38? Oh, wait, she does...
