This scetch cracks me up,Hilarious while at the same time informative.It's a pity my History lessons weren't as good.I spent most of them doodling in the margins of my exercise book I was that bored.
I'm 47 and this made me laugh out loud, I never could resist a fart joke! And I am rather partial to Matthew Baynton, even though I could almost be his mother! Well I suppose I could be really, but I would have been very young!
you are kidding, but on summer camp where I went were toilets just like that... former bus stop and plank with holes... wonderful competitions we had... :)
We watched this in history today and my whole class was laughing and was like only in (my schools name) we would do this. They probably don't show these to (school nearbys name)
imagin sitting next to matt on the toilet! lol this brings back memories of this morning our teacher farted nd he blamed it on my friend lol i wuz the only one that cracked up so i wuz like awkard
I heard that they sold sticks at the entrance though, so you didn't have to share the stick with others. I still worship the man who invented toilet paper, though.
Приколы
the way they're all acting so casual is hilarious, i can't even go if i know someones waiting outside the bathroom.
That was sooo hilarious, couldn't stop laughing at their farting, :) lol I've never seen this sketch b4
I'm so gonna subtitle this and include it in my powerpoint presentation..
Our teacher made us watch this last week, even the class pet was cracking up!
Imagine the outakes! XD
Visited ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey. We all sat on one, lined up in a row. Great photo op.
Thanks so much to the one who posted this!... I laughed my lungs out :-D)

This really reminds me of The Lost Tapes of History podcast....love it!
Awesomely and disgustingly hilarious
Great quality too
Love horrible histories
Mat's favourite sketch, according to himself.
A marvellous way of teaching real history!

Lol The acting is impecable!
Never gets old!
Haha, the look on Sextus' face is priceless. That's how the "barbarians" must have felt when they first experienced the Roman way of life.
I can't stop my laughing oh God 😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:01! Oh sorry indeed!
my teacher made me watch this. xD clearly, he has a very good sense of humor. xDDD
This show has a tiny bit of nostalgia
Eeeewww. And men and women using the same toilets, omg, can you imagine all that went around? Eh...
The idea of living with communal lavatories stresses each out. It’s like living out an actual nightmare.
Ah I love this show
The author of the HH series is actually here in this sketch; Terry Deary's the Roman sitting next to the woman.
I remember back in 2009 one of my grade 9 teachers made us watch this
GREAT !!!
Now: girls go together
Ancient Rome: Everyone goes together
Oh ancient Rome, you so silly. But I love you for it.
you are kidding, but on summer camp where I went were toilets just like that... former bus stop and plank with holes... wonderful competitions we had... :)
How childishly entertaining!
I can't ah just can't go loik this with all you wotchin best bit xD
Horrible histories rocks!! Lmao!
Never knew that cool!!
Just calm down please and other people stop posting rude comments about him I am really young and I want to enjoy horrible histories
Technicality but you got me there.
hahahaha what a torture, to go all together and put up with smells and ugly noises hahaha!
I had to do an essay on this for my Roman History class (my teacher likes to mess with us on subjects). The stick and sponge is what always threw me.
ONG never thought id see matt baynton on the toilet XD
1:30 I wash myself with a rag on a stick.
This is so funny haha
I laughed so hard I almost cried
lol. AWKWARD!!!! omgosh!
Roman Farts are very rare.Cherish this 2 minutes of joy!
This was indeed a horrible history for that cousin >.
Same!!
yes you can see one in roman ruins in libya
Hey Mrs. L Jones its me from your homeroom class in 2012
haha my social studies teacher was gonna play this in school... but she said it was too inappropriate! lol
Terry Deary sitting next to Sarah there. 🤣
writers knew what they were doing calling him sextus
they would also have a live choir to listen to
Saw dis in skool loool
Hahah!! My social studies teacher told me to look This up!!it's funny
I have to say, I am impressed as to how they used a sponge on a stick to wipe their ass. I don't think I would be able to shove that up there.
@LuckyIzzy659 Yes, but they put the sponge into the bucket of water after one person finished using it.
Awwwwsssssooooommmmmmmeeeeeee!
Very funny
that is the funnies thing
The Romans invented several things - you'd think they'd have invented toilet roll!
A sponge to wipe yourself?? Phew! Their backsides must have reeked! X_X
We watched this in history today and my whole class was laughing and was like only in (my schools name) we would do this. They probably don't show these to (school nearbys name)
i watched this at school. lol
same here
@Johnathan. Actually, the Indus Valley people had plumbing thousands of years before...
In addition to SilverTemplar's answer, one or both of them might have been adopted.
the expression the wrong end of the stick comes from the sponge on a stick
yea that would be cause this was filmed in Brittain
Farts are universal.
*shyly* "thanks"
poor thing :'o
So funny
If the loos were posh marble like the ones at Ephesus you sent a slave on before you to warm up the seat! Sounds good to me........
"thanks..." xD
@TripleThreat625 That's the multi-talented and wonderful Mathew Baynton.
"Come on, you".
This is why the romans never put a man on the moon!!!!
Jim did a poo, he actually did a poo.
Back then, did they really share the sponge?
I can't believe the men and women have go in the same room
LMAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine having a cousin called Sextus....
Poor dude
Like a modern military bathrooms
Ah; so this is what people mean by British toilet humour!
@planetmuvee427 Lavatorium?
This is the entire secondary cast of peep show lol
Yes.Just sticking it in running water for a few minutes wont make much of a difference.It would still have way to much bad bacteria on it.
Larry Craig should have been born in Ancient Rome.
oh gosh :S
from BBC right
I could NEVER take a crap in Rome!
imagin sitting next to matt on the toilet! lol this brings back memories of this morning our teacher farted nd he blamed it on my friend lol i wuz the only one that cracked up so i wuz like awkard
It was in early Rome, later it was just a name
I heard that they sold sticks at the entrance though, so you didn't have to share the stick with others.
I still worship the man who invented toilet paper, though.
Lmfao!!!!!!!!!!
Technically we still have these... They're called urinals.
It must have stunk
@Revexey America doesn't have an Empire and with the amount of firepower each country has no one would be stupid enough to risk it.
@Revexey All things other countries have done as well. And talking about human rights, Saudi Arabia knows alot about that, right?
And yet I still want mat...... O_O
Hahaha lmfao
