Poorly made videos and the worst part is I didn't like or hit notifications and did not even watch a full episode but my Question is filled with his stupid videos and my auto play is off. What the heck.
I'm autistic and Horrible Histories books were one of my special interests as a kid. But we were really poor so I only owned a few that had popped up in local second-hand shops. I read them over and over and memorised every fact I could. Anyways one year my mum saved up enough money to buy me the full set of Horrible Histories AND Horrible Science books from the Scholastic Book Fair. I'm now an adult and still have them in a box somewhere, completely worn from how much I read them. Found out that my mum worked extra hours in a back-breaking manual labour job and skipped meals to save up the money to buy them. Still one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me man, I love her so much
On the point about stretching the truth for comedy, they gave the rat host a sign saying "silly" and one saying "true" that he just popped up at the bottom of the screen. so that when they wanted to make a joke that wasn't accurate they let everyone know as the joke was being made.
Horrible Histories theme song: "stuff they don't teach you at school!" Horrible Histories: *Is played in school* Horrible Histories theme song: Am I a joke to you?
Fun fact on ancient aliens; there was an episode where they were freaking out that the pyramids were based in the number Pi or some shit like that and at the end of the episode, a historian was like “It’s almost like they used CIRCLES to MEASURE shit.” And the episode ended there. It’s absolutely hilarious.
You have to understand that these people are so important that the entire field of science is an effort to make them look stupid. I've never had one explain _why_ they're so important, though.
The best response I've seen was "If the Eath was flat, someone would have built at least one theme park at the edge, and there would be rides where you get held/spun/bungee'd over the edge and have the void under your feet"
it's so obviously "thick wig" settled, karl. My favourite shit will ALWAYS be Bob Hale with the history reports "Being Emperor was a GREAT job: there was banquets and power and money and helicopters, except not helicopters" Also, Caligula, and the British Monarchs song. That helped me so much
same here. I will never forget the henry the 8th song.. helped me so much in school. the only episode that i was scared of was when i was 8 and it was the pirate black spot. i have no clue why. find it hilarious now. best T.V show ever
This is currently on Hulu in the US. I just discovered it, didn’t realize it was a kids show. The rat host makes sense now. I chocked it up to a sober version of Drunk History.
I found this recently in America. I think it was on Hulu. I tried to get my 6 year old to watch it, but she wasn't interested yet. I think she will be in about 2 years. I, as a 40+ year old man on the other hand, binge watched the whole thing. It's pretty brilliant.
NekoMouser The books are way better man. I am an adult and I still read through them from time to time. Get a couple and if she won't read them, read them yourself.
I saw this ancient aliens thing where they said that the sides of the piramids where perfectly dividable by pi, and they where talking to someone and they where all like explain that, it must have been aliens, the guy just responds with something along the lines of, I don't know they could have used a wheel to measure it, and their whole argument collapsed after that

The funniest part for me was discussing the invention of the sandwich, where Earl Sandwich is there playing cards "oh, this is such a pain eating my meat and getting my hands messy, can I have my meat between two slices of bread?" "Certainly Earl Sandwich" then the guy he's playing with says "oh, I have an idea, how about you chop up the bits of meat you'd normally give the dogs, shove it in a bit of intestine, and stick it in a bun?" "Of course, Baron Hotdog" at this point Rattus Rattus appears holding a sign saying "this is silly", but the best bit is when the person taking the food requests leaves the room and finds this guy sat on the stairs looking ill. "Ugh, ooh, oh fetch me a bucket, I think I'm going to be sick!" "Certainly, Lord Turkey Twizzler"

My little sister can do the whole things and it still impresses me (it came out after I went through my big phase so I didn't hear the song til I get back for nostalgia and realised it still slaps)
How can you not mention the fact that Terry Deary, the writer of the books themselves, acted in some of the sketches himself. He was the mouth organ guy in the cowboy song and one of the people in the earwig racing sketch of the top of my head. But most of all, where was Bob Hales?!
14:08 The current theories suggest very little slave labour was involved with the construction of the pyramids, at least at the sites themselves. While there may have been (and probably were) slaves involved in the quarrying and transportation of the stone, the construction appears to have largely been done by skilled workers who were well fed (seemly better than a lot of the people at the time), received the best medical care & support and were allowed to be buried in their own tombs that they built near the sites (which they built at the same time as they were building the pyramids). In fact there's several compelling reasons against the use of slave labour: in addition to the medical care and personal tombs, there is the problem that slaves do not make good workers, even in fear of their lives, they do not do their best work and some will even try to mess things up. Whereas people working voluntarily, particularly for a holy cause which the ancient Egyptians would have viewed the construction as, will do their utter best. Furthermore Ancient Egypt had an abundance of workers during the Season of the Inundation, where every year the Nile would flood for several months, leaving the farm hands nothing to do. Conveniently this was also the best time to transport the quarried stone, since the barges could travel far closer to the sites.
Yeah, the trick to Horrible Histories is that it has legit science, history, and interesting information, and is usually pretty accurate, but it also is entertaining and keeps children interested. It’s brilliant!
This show still is my favourite show that manages to actually be funny and educating without being patronising to the kids. It's really freaking funny too and I watch it every now and then. You can tell the actors are really having fun every second they're on screen, like nobody is not having fun there and giving their all to every performance.
Don't even get me started on how much weird shit the Nazis believed. They also spent a bunch of time trying to find occult stuff like the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny (the spear that pierced Christ's side). Look how that worked out for them.
The thing about them believing in the flat earth, the Germans had to take curve and rotation into account when firing their howizers. So even the grunts had to be smarter than the leaders.
Given the fact that Hitler stole a gaudy spear that was used as a Tourist Attraction in a museum, I highly doubt he actually found it, but rather was captivated by the stories of the supernatural and convinced himself that a gaudy gilded spear that no roman soldier would be caught dead using, especially to torture a prisoner was the real deal.
We were doing world war one poetry in history and my teacher scowled when the clip from a documentary wouldn't work because the only other clips were horrible histories. He reluctantly put it on as I was literally fist bumping inside. Hh is the reason I want to peruse the career I want. But then he watched it and he said "Actually, that was funny. Also, it was all correct as far as I could tell. Crumbs. That was actually quite good..." I took great joy when he said that. Finally, Back to you; Sam!
My kids and I love Horrible Histories. I'm just not surprised anymore that we live in a world where a talking rat is more accurate than a university professor.

Haha loved watching this when my kids were young. Ended up with us going to The York Dungeon as the kids just loved gross history stuff. "Stupid deaths, stupid deeeeaaaths.... I hope next time it's not yoooouuu!"
Horrible Histories was amazing. Had pretty much all the books as a kid (and read all of them, I think), and then when it came out I loved the TV show even more
Oh my god I’m so glad you talked about this beautiful show. I grew up with it even though I live in Australia and I remember being envious of English people because of their rich history. Thank you so much!!
My kids have got me and my wife into it. ...... We're 40. The only historical inaccuracy I've seen is about Archimedes burning ships with mirrors. Mythbusters proved that didn't happen
How have I just found this channel? I'm three videos in (just subscribed), and I must admit I presumed on the first one it would be another 'top 10' dross-fest, but by god the host is funny, the facts are factual, and the subject matter is interesting! I admit I haven't seen a single episode of HH, but I was addicted to the books (as well as Horrible Science) growing up, and I'll be sure to check out the TV series on your good word.
Oh man... a bandmate of mine showed me Ancient Aliens. Instead of watching the show with me, he just stared intently at my face the entire time, waiting for me to have this mind-melting epiphany. Needless to say it didn't happen.

Horrible Histories Live was one of the greatest things I've ever been to see. My friend got two tickets for her birthday, so we went together. Two grown adults. It was awesome. They gave us 3D glasses and the backdrop had spiders jump out at us.

The pyramids weren’t actually built by slaves. Regular Egyptian labourers would come in and do it in exchange for a bit of pay and the knowledge that they helped build the tomb for their god-king. The slave labour mistake dates all the way back to Ancient Greek records, when the Egyptians bragged to Greek visitors of the vast number of slaves building each pyramid took. This fact can actually be found in the horrible histories books!
It's also the fact that the Nile river would flood the farm lands at certain times of the year meant that the people working the farms were available to work on the pyramids during those times. So there was more labor than some theorists have accounted for.
lachlan Bastin yep! HH always taught me that the Egyptian builders were paid in dates, garlics and other things so I was really surprised when idiots thought it was slave labour.

@@elichi5259 both are good. Matthew and Jim are known to be the most trouble in set, Matthew is just hotter in the eyes of people, and thus gets more attention.
I much prefer Ben tbh
you just made me swoon
Oooh
I loved laurence and simon

I blame this video for restarting my horrible history phase. I literally have spent the last year rewatching Ghosts and watching compilations of the 6 idiots
All hail
The king
Of bling
Ting ting
Bells ring
I'm the king that brought back partying!
xdddd
I loved the people
And the people loved me
So much that they restored
The english monarchy
As a Danish person I love that song, as he said "A little Dane.." in it :)
King charles my daddy lost his throne and kings were banned
They chopped off his head then Olly Cromwell ruled the land
When you walked into history class and saw a substitute with this on the board
TheRealBritishGamer I was never that lucky and now I’m jealous
TheRealBritishGamer your missing the cross of St. Patrick on your Union Jack mate
I was lucky. I had my regular teachers do that.
These were some of the most blessed days.

sAME! ON THE LAST HISTORY LESSON SHE FULL ON PLAYED THE STUPID SONGS EPISODE (and I bloody knew all the lyrics)
Horrible Histories was such a good show, I loved it. We got it in Aus too, me and my Dad used to watch it all the time :)
The books were also awesome.
acorr14 abc3 right?
Aussie Aussie Aussie
The DIY Shop
Oi, Oi, Oi!
My dad was equally as excited for the film as I was. We played spot the celebrity. Lots of celebrities actually wanted parts on this low budget kids film to the point of accepting random minor roles or being in the crowd.
I'm William the Conqueror
My enemies stood no chance
They call me the first English king
Although I come from France
1066, the Doomsday book
I gave to history
So fat on death my body burst
But enough about me
To help remember all your kings
I've come up with this song
A simple rhyming ditty
For you all to sing along
Oh, William
(Bit short init? We need more kings. Who came next?)
William second, cheeks were red
Killed out hunting, so it's said
I took over, Henry one
That's my next eldest son
Then King Stephen, it's true check it!
Hi, Henry two, killed Thomas Beckett
Richard Lionheart? That's right!
Always spoiling for a fight
Oh King John, what a disaster
Rule restrained by Magna Carta
William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!
Time for my mate, King Henry eight
To take up this song
Henry three built the abbey
Ed one hated Scots
A red hot poker killed Ed two
That must have hurt him lots
Edward third was a chivalry nerd
Began the hundred years war
Then Richard two was king aged ten
Then Henry, yes one more
King Henry four, plots galore
Not least from Henry five, why?
Killed ten score at Agincourt
Then Henry six arrived
Edward four, Edward five
Richard the third, he's bad
'Cause he fought wars with Henry seventh
First Tudor and my dad
So Henry eight, I was great
Six wives, two were beheaded
Edward the sixth came next, but he died young
And so my dreaded
Daughter Mary ruled, so scary
Then along came... me
I'm Liz the first, I had no kids
So Tudors RIP
William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two
Then three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary one, good Queen Bess
That's me, time for more men
James six of Scotland next
Is English James the first he led
Then Stuarts ruled, so Charles the first
The one who lost his head
No monarchy until came me
Charles two, I liked to party
King Jimmy two was scary, woooh
Then Mary was a smarty
She ruled with Bill, their shoes were filled
By sourpuss Queen Anne Gloria
And so from then, you were ruled by men
Till along came me Victoria
William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two
Then three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary one, good Queen Bess
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
Still to come, it's Queen Victoria
And so began the Hanover gang
George one and George two (grim)
Then George the third was quite absurd
Till I replaced old him
King George the fourth and known henceforth
As angry, fat and cross (hang on)
It's true you beat Napoleon
But were mostly a dead loss (bang on)
Old William four was a sailor (ahoy)
It's nearly the end of the story-a
As onto the scene comes the best loved queen
Hail to Queen Victoria
William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two
Then three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary one, good Queen Bess
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
George, George, George, George
Will, Victoria
Victoria Victoria Victoria
(I ruled for sixty four years, you know.)
Ed seven, George five
Then Ed, George sixth
Liz two then reigned and how
And so our famous monarch song
Is brought right up to now, oh
William, William, Henry, Stephen
Henry, Richard, John, oi!
Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two
Then three more Henrys join our song
Edward, Edward, Rich the third
Henry, Henry, Ed again
Mary one, good Queen Bess
Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then
Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria
George, George, George, George
Will, Victoria
Edward, George, Edward, George six
And Queen Liz two completes the mix
That's all the English kings and queens
Since William first that there have been
I respect you for this
Jesus Christ he actually did it
Not all heroes wear capes
My little sister can do the whole things and it still impresses me (it came out after I went through my big phase so I didn't hear the song til I get back for nostalgia and realised it still slaps)
I have one question.Why?
How can you not mention the fact that Terry Deary, the writer of the books themselves, acted in some of the sketches himself. He was the mouth organ guy in the cowboy song and one of the people in the earwig racing sketch of the top of my head. But most of all, where was Bob Hales?!
DaAtheniatron he also said his books shouldnt be in libearys because he doesnt make any money from it?
DaAtheniatron he's sadly not a very nice person. A lot of good writers aren't
BUT NOT FOR LONG!
14:08 The current theories suggest very little slave labour was involved with the construction of the pyramids, at least at the sites themselves. While there may have been (and probably were) slaves involved in the quarrying and transportation of the stone, the construction appears to have largely been done by skilled workers who were well fed (seemly better than a lot of the people at the time), received the best medical care & support and were allowed to be buried in their own tombs that they built near the sites (which they built at the same time as they were building the pyramids).
In fact there's several compelling reasons against the use of slave labour: in addition to the medical care and personal tombs, there is the problem that slaves do not make good workers, even in fear of their lives, they do not do their best work and some will even try to mess things up. Whereas people working voluntarily, particularly for a holy cause which the ancient Egyptians would have viewed the construction as, will do their utter best. Furthermore Ancient Egypt had an abundance of workers during the Season of the Inundation, where every year the Nile would flood for several months, leaving the farm hands nothing to do. Conveniently this was also the best time to transport the quarried stone, since the barges could travel far closer to the sites.
Welp, guess that means the aliens really DID build the pyramids! (Illuminati theme plays)

Yeah, the trick to Horrible Histories is that it has legit science, history, and interesting information, and is usually pretty accurate, but it also is entertaining and keeps children interested. It’s brilliant!
the stupid deaths guy went to my school, fun facts
I'm jelly :(
Lucky...
@Peatato GAG he didnt go at the same time as me, i wish though haha
This show still is my favourite show that manages to actually be funny and educating without being patronising to the kids. It's really freaking funny too and I watch it every now and then. You can tell the actors are really having fun every second they're on screen, like nobody is not having fun there and giving their all to every performance.
My teacher shows us this in class
I agree
I say he’s saying “Thick Wig” sorry ☹️
Netflix Captions agree
Although some of the captions are wrong, some of the compilation episodes had different captions than the actual episode the sketch was in.
Thats what it sounded like to me
It's a clear "th" so definitely thick wig.
"Dickwig" might actually be "Thickwig" meaning they're stupid in the head probably. Unsure tho.
That's 100% ACCU-RAT!
Don't even get me started on how much weird shit the Nazis believed. They also spent a bunch of time trying to find occult stuff like the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny (the spear that pierced Christ's side). Look how that worked out for them.
The thing about them believing in the flat earth, the Germans had to take curve and rotation into account when firing their howizers. So even the grunts had to be smarter than the leaders.
Hollow earth, too. They made an expedition to the Arctic to look for a hole. Because for some reason it had to be at the pole.
Panzer Man Indiana jones fucked them up
Remember when Hitler wore some sick shades and tried beating up some guys using the Holy Lance and the powers of Nyarlathotep?
Good times
Given the fact that Hitler stole a gaudy spear that was used as a Tourist Attraction in a museum, I highly doubt he actually found it, but rather was captivated by the stories of the supernatural and convinced himself that a gaudy gilded spear that no roman soldier would be caught dead using, especially to torture a prisoner was the real deal.
I think the adult form of this show would be drunk history.
Horrible histories is also shown in Australia. It was a massive part of my childhood.
Really?! Omg that's cool I love Australians 😳😊
@@dollieations Too bad we don't exist and we're all paid actors.
btw i wanna know when i get a pay raise.
Abc3? I watched it as well

I started watching horrible histories at 26 years old while babysitting my cousin.
I own the boxset now
8:22
He says 'Thick Wig'. As in he is calling him thick (meaning stupid)
Should watch ghosts it's on i player but it's about a couple moving into a haunted house and it stars pretty much all the cast from horrible histories
its actually a horrible histories production
Dude I fucking love horrible histories!!! Thanks for doing This!
I don’t know what’s better the shut up Louie line or the sound the wig made when it hit the table.
We were doing world war one poetry in history and my teacher scowled when the clip from a documentary wouldn't work because the only other clips were horrible histories. He reluctantly put it on as I was literally fist bumping inside. Hh is the reason I want to peruse the career I want. But then he watched it and he said "Actually, that was funny. Also, it was all correct as far as I could tell. Crumbs. That was actually quite good..." I took great joy when he said that. Finally, Back to you; Sam!
Did anyone else cry a little when listening to “we’re history”?
OH MY GOD YOU’RE THE GUY FROM HAMILTON AND ASSASSINS CREED
Always do
Just mentioning it tear me up
PLEASE I WAS SOBBING
No
I cried *A LOT*
Honestly sang the divorce beheaded and died song to myself in my head in my history exam 😂
I'm Henry the eighth, I had six sorry wives,

My kids and I love Horrible Histories.
I'm just not surprised anymore that we live in a world where a talking rat is more accurate than a university professor.
I can’t believe people still think the earth is flat, the universe has better graphics now, obviously it’s made of polyhedrons by now

king Charles my daddy lost his crown and kings were banned,
They chopped of his head then olly Cromwell ruled the land,
Old olly wasn't jolly,
He was glum and he was proud,
He was miserable as sin only sinning not allowed
When Olly died the people said,
“Charlie, my hearty,”
Get rid of his dull laws
Come back, we’d rather party
This action’s want they called
the monarchy restoration
Which naturally was followed by a huge celebration!
The King of Eng! (Land say!)
No sin! Too sing! (Okay!)
Or anything!

Fought the fire, proved I'm more than a bopper

I enjoy Horrible Histories, watched it by accident down in Mexico during their late-night run.
Haha loved watching this when my kids were young. Ended up with us going to The York Dungeon as the kids just loved gross history stuff.
"Stupid deaths, stupid deeeeaaaths.... I hope next time it's not yoooouuu!"
Horrible Histories was amazing. Had pretty much all the books as a kid (and read all of them, I think), and then when it came out I loved the TV show even more
Oh my god I’m so glad you talked about this beautiful show.
I grew up with it even though I live in Australia and I remember being envious of English people because of their rich history.
Thank you so much!!
I am from England ;))))
HE DIDNT MENTION THE PATCHICUTIE SONG THAT IS MY FAVORITE ONE
I agree
Probably cause it has been called racist
@@gameboyadvanced8946 it’s a kids show
Of course Twitter would find it racist
Yeah
Im a Floridian my history teacher been around the world and shows this when we were done with everything
Got damn it, I'm 15 and I couldn't stop laughing at the toilet and evil joke
Smug history kids spewing random facts in year 2 *UNITE*
Yup that was me, an annoying little history nerd. Probably still am
UNITE
My kids have got me and my wife into it. ...... We're 40.
The only historical inaccuracy I've seen is about Archimedes burning ships with mirrors. Mythbusters proved that didn't happen
I grew up wit H.H and it was marvelous, stupid deaths was amazing but the "Hope next time it's not you" part scared me so much
Sadly, it's not Dickwig, it's Thick Wig
I'm just going to think its Dickwig because its funny
It’s definitely supposed to be Thick Wig, but I think the actor may have intentionally made it sound more ambiguous
tisted mentality Lewie
Louis
I have so many horrible histories books. I quite literally use them to completely destroy history arguments I have on the internet.
we have this show here in Australia and it rocks man! And you're right! The best thing about it is the honesty. Its good!
I haven't watched this show in almost 6 years but I can still recite the "stupid death" song word for word
Stupid Deaths, Stupid Deaths,
They're funny cause they're true,
Ooh
Stupid Deaths, Stupid Deaths,
Hope next time it's not you!
He he!
How have I just found this channel? I'm three videos in (just subscribed), and I must admit I presumed on the first one it would be another 'top 10' dross-fest, but by god the host is funny, the facts are factual, and the subject matter is interesting! I admit I haven't seen a single episode of HH, but I was addicted to the books (as well as Horrible Science) growing up, and I'll be sure to check out the TV series on your good word.
kungfuasgaeilge exactly found this channel a week ago its amazing
My first video was the one about Violets hair from the Incredibles. But I just had to subscribe after that :D
Found this channel today and this is the fifth video in a row I’ve watched ^_^
"Hi! I'm a Shouty Man!"

Oh man... a bandmate of mine showed me Ancient Aliens. Instead of watching the show with me, he just stared intently at my face the entire time, waiting for me to have this mind-melting epiphany. Needless to say it didn't happen.

He says Thick wig, It just occurred to me that you could have just put the subtitles on to see what he said haha
and the times when they do make up something or bend the truth, they tell you or put up a card saying that it's not true to let you know
Horrible Histories Live was one of the greatest things I've ever been to see. My friend got two tickets for her birthday, so we went together. Two grown adults. It was awesome. They gave us 3D glasses and the backdrop had spiders jump out at us.
StutterGuy I'm so jealous :O
Omg yes I went to that too it was awesome!
I think the content is spot on- but I just want to say thanks for perfectly highlighting why conspiracy theories work the way they do. I could never put it into words as well as you did and I will remember how you explained it for future conversations.
In American schools we watched this weird cartoon version about two time traveling teenagers being transported to different eras by the narrator. Needless to say this one looks way better.
PauletteRavenWolfie It was also called Horrible Histories
That one was really old school! It was basically an educational south park from what I remember. This series came probably a good decade after.
i remember that one, they used to show it in primary school when the teachers couldn't be bothered with actually teaching
I saw horrible histories when I took a vacation to Scotland been a big fan ever since

The pyramids weren’t actually built by slaves. Regular Egyptian labourers would come in and do it in exchange for a bit of pay and the knowledge that they helped build the tomb for their god-king. The slave labour mistake dates all the way back to Ancient Greek records, when the Egyptians bragged to Greek visitors of the vast number of slaves building each pyramid took.
This fact can actually be found in the horrible histories books!
It's also the fact that the Nile river would flood the farm lands at certain times of the year meant that the people working the farms were available to work on the pyramids during those times. So there was more labor than some theorists have accounted for.
Either it’s a lot
Less labour than the Egyptians claimed to have whilst they flexed on the Greeks
lachlan Bastin yep! HH always taught me that the Egyptian builders were paid in dates, garlics and other things so I was really surprised when idiots thought it was slave labour.
“We are the hero of our own story” is something iv said for years it’s cool to see Karl uses it to
