So many things wrong with what you said. 1) it’s a rat not a mouse. 2) we typically what it at home not in school but if you had an amazing history teacher they would show you clips from the show. 3) it’s meant to be gorie because it’s showing that side of history as it really was just like the intro says things your not taught in school. 4) it’s perfectly fine to watch as an adult
Some things to point out just to let any Americans know: 1) he is a rat not a mouse and his name is rattus rattus 2) they wouldn’t just show it in school, we’d watch it at home as it was on tv all the time 3) probably the most iconic part of it is the songs e.g. duck Turpin, Charles king of bling, cleopatra, monarch song, born to rule, English civil war, pachacuti, Boudicca, sat on a bus etc! I hope this helped any American viewers!😊
And that the cast are so close in real life that they've done many projects together. One being Ghosts which is like an adult version of Horrible Histories. Hilarious characters, historical facts and gory deaths.
@@disneyqueen6319 there is also Bill, a film very loosely based on Shakespeare’s life, and yonderland, which is a very strange but funny more grown up tv show with puppets and stuff
@@AngelLikesArt I never seen Bill or Yonderland but I'll definitely check them out. I'm looking for a new show to watch since I finished Ghosts. Are they on BBC iPlayer
@@disneyqueen6319 A slightly edited version of Bill sometimes gets aired on the BBC but it's free to watch (with all the jokes which are taken out of the TV version left in) if you have Amazon prime. Yonderland was a Sky show so I'm not sure how to watch the entire series, but I managed to watch all of the first series on dailymotion.
I love how I'm 19 and I've binge watched Horrible Histories so many times, I love it so much. My parents loved it as well because it was educational and honestly it lowkey did a better job at teaching me history than my teachers. 😸
Not something you want to watch as an adult? What? 🤔 I’m in my fifties and I still love Horrible Histories....get in touch with your inner silliness, life is too short.
You NEED to listen to The highway man song and Born to rule song with king George 1, 2, 3 and 4 😂😂 also Charles the 2nd rap! They are my favs but there is so many

This show was the best show ever because it was nostalgic,funny and entertaining but also educational like if your teacher in primary school just let you watch horrible histories instead of learning than you know it was a good day it taught you good history and good facts and it wasn’t even just British history and was world history so you learnt about all different types of history which made it amazing
The thing is with horrible histories is that it took classic modern shows like Masterchef and wife swap and dragon’s den and put the historical twist on it with fun learning what more can you want
British Shows to watch - Waterloo Road - Jeremy Kyle show - Inbetweeners - Good Morning Britain -Eastenders (anything before 2011) -Gogglebox -Doctor Who -Come dine with me lol what else
The song goes gory stories we do that, and your host a talking rat... Not mouse. Rattus Rattus. That's 100% Acu-rat! It might surprise you to know that this show is extremely popular with adults, even adults without kids. You should definitely give it more of a chance, check out some horrible histories songs.
I know right, I was deeply offended * insert "and I took that personally" clip * he seems to not remember or wasn't listening to the starting. He said he had a bit of understanding of what it was about, but then constantly gets taking off guard by any gross/gore scenes. I wonder if he actually watched it or just heard the start then skipped, as it quite clearly says rat 🐀. Did the video/collection he was watching have the full one. I assume it wouldn't just show just the very start and not the rest. I don't think it was a proper episode as don't think they had 2 wife swaps in the same episode, usually spread out.
An American watches HH for the first time and... Doesn’t get it Doesn’t learn any history Only relates to the wife swap reality tv skit Says it’s funny and doesn’t laugh Calls the obvious rat a mouse??? Brit stops,watching an American watching HH...
You should watch the educating series like educating cardiff or educating yorkshire or whatever it will teach you what a classic british secondary school is and what secondary school life is like for us students and how british schools truly are which is an essential part of british culture the secondary school experience is like no other and is an essential part of our culture
please don't watch series 6-9 they are absolutely atrocious. they have new cast and not british humour. u don't even know what they're on about half the time. the new cast took a masterpiece and ruined it. trust me! only watch series 1-5 they are incredible
haha, i still watch this as an adult. its a really fun way to learn history, plus u remember it better. i still remember coming back from school and just watching horrible histories. oh good old days.
Horrible Histories is amazing.. I'm 34 and watch it for fun! The history in the show is so accu-RAT than in 6 whole seasons of the show Greg Jenner found 3 mistakes, and not even big ones! You need, NEED, to watch more!
Fun fact: The Puritans actually banned many things, including but not limited to: Theatre, Sport, Music, Makeup, Pubs, Makeup, and Christmas! (Although, Oliver Cromwell, leader of the Puritans actually enjoyed music and smoking!)
Um, nope- it's not only you kids who "get it" :D I'm the same age as the cast, & they say they _don't_ write stuff "for kids", they just write what they find funny, so why wouldn't I get it? I have the same childhood pop culture references as they do, & actually there's lots of stuff like the song parodies that us ancient ones are MORE likely to get, unless young people have listened to a lot of music from the "olden days", lol... But I'm also too old to care whether I'm a "true" fan or not :D
also you need to watch Stupid with King Stupid and devil finger, the Queens nose, Big Kids (which i know was british -american) and roman Mysteries and if you want to go really little kids then you need tweenies, Brum, come outside, and teletubies
We definitely watched it at school in Australia (but not whole episodes, just a random song or segment that was relevant to whatever topic we were learning about.)
Its not for school we watched it for fun at home like any other show.
still watch it
I mean (Australian here) we occasionally watched it in school for history class, but only certain teaches were willing
I watched it at school sometimes
@@lilybean9585 yeah you did/do here too in the U.K. but you mostly just watched it at home for entertainment purposes
When I was a kid the books that it's based on were kinda anti school!
You need to watch the songs as well, they are an absolutely fundamental part of the series.
Any specific ones!?
@@_JeffThurm_ The Monarchs Song, Charles II King of Bling, Dick Turpin and The 4 King Georges are the 4 best.

i’ve learnt more from horrible histories than 8years of history lessons in school 😂
i 100% agree
Ha, I can see that. Def way more enjoyable than sitting in classroom!

"not something I'm going to continue watching as an adult"
but... why not?
I was literally so confused by that - why would you as an adult not want to watch this???
He seems very squeamish
Yes
I asked that too. lol
How would you not watch this as an adult
So many things wrong with what you said.
1) it’s a rat not a mouse.
2) we typically what it at home not in school but if you had an amazing history teacher they would show you clips from the show.
3) it’s meant to be gorie because it’s showing that side of history as it really was just like the intro says things your not taught in school.
4) it’s perfectly fine to watch as an adult
5) the cast of horrible histories have a show for adults called ghosts and it's epic
@Iris Ormond and a film called Bill
Exactly I still watch the show
I love this chain just adding their accomplishments! Watched everyone and loved it 😊😊😊🥰👍

edit: thanks for 1k 😂 i never get this many likes
please dont tell Rattus!

Yeah
100% Accu-rat!
He could defeat Remy in a battle any time.
Horrible histories is literally the epitome of Childhood British culture😭 it’s literally what we’d watch when we came home from school lmao

Yes! Ghosts, Yonderland, Bill and HH
I was literally re-binging Ghosts yesterday. I love how it feels like more of a horrible histories skit.
Don't know about you guys but my favourite ghost is the captain, he's so adorable

You need to watch the iconic songs;
Monarch song
King of bling
Henry 8th
DicTuripin
Will do!
What about the Charles the second song
I'm from the US and discovered this as an adult a few years ago. I'm obsessed with it and watch it over and over.
“It’s a really funny idea” in a monotonous tone

Horrible Histories is the most amazing show and the og cast are the best 😌 The songs are so iconic and amazing!
Definitely need to watch ghosts with the same cast
His reactions to this annoyed me...he did not understand/appreciate how amazing this show is!
He overreacted way too much
The thing is with horrible histories is that it took classic modern shows like Masterchef and wife swap and dragon’s den and put the historical twist on it with fun learning what more can you want
Yea that’s such a cool and smart way to do it! I loved the wife swap one
lmao i'm canadian and this was my entire childhood and i still watch it today
“That’s enough Horrible Histories”

British Shows to watch
- Waterloo Road
- Jeremy Kyle show
- Inbetweeners
- Good Morning Britain
-Eastenders (anything before 2011)
-Gogglebox
-Doctor Who
-Come dine with me
lol what else
Gotta rate Ben Mitchell. Might need to add Friday Night Dinner to that list
Did he just call Rattus Rattus.. a MOUSE?!
The song goes gory stories we do that, and your host a talking rat...
Not mouse. Rattus Rattus. That's 100% Acu-rat!

Ugh I’m sorry I messed upppp I’m fully aware it’s actually a rat 🤣🤣🤣
An American watches HH for the first time and...
Doesn’t get it
Doesn’t learn any history
Only relates to the wife swap reality tv skit
Says it’s funny and doesn’t laugh
Calls the obvious rat a mouse???
Brit stops,watching an American watching HH...
I know it was kinda cringe 😬
Wait, they don't have horrible histories in America!

Mr. Baynton is brilliant. You’re a lucky student!!
@@frankgerace5997 I know we are thanks. I'm Woo Berry's step brother

OMG 😱 can you have somebody else to do this besides him, I mean come on 😩 UGH
Very disappointing!
i'm an American and i read the horrible histories books as a child but i had no idea there was a tv show too
Maybe you could watch Ghosts. It's basically Horrible Histories for adults with the same main cast and writers and it's hilarious
You should watch the educating series like educating cardiff or educating yorkshire or whatever it will teach you what a classic british secondary school is and what secondary school life is like for us students and how british schools truly are which is an essential part of british culture the secondary school experience is like no other and is an essential part of our culture
There’s not a single song in this video? King of Bling, 4 King Georges, Cleopatra, Dick Turpin?
How come in these reaction videos, they never look at the songs?! They’re the best part!
You should watch Horrid Henry or My Parents are Aliens
i discovered HH last month and LOVED it ! binged the mess out of it. i need morrrrrre
please don't watch series 6-9 they are absolutely atrocious. they have new cast and not british humour. u don't even know what they're on about half the time. the new cast took a masterpiece and ruined it. trust me! only watch series 1-5 they are incredible
haha, i still watch this as an adult. its a really fun way to learn history, plus u remember it better. i still remember coming back from school and just watching horrible histories. oh good old days.
There needs to be a whole separate video on the songs! King of bling, Aztec priests, do the patchecuti, boudica, ALL OF THEM!
Horrible Histories is amazing.. I'm 34 and watch it for fun! The history in the show is so accu-RAT than in 6 whole seasons of the show Greg Jenner found 3 mistakes, and not even big ones! You need, NEED, to watch more!

1:46 Thats the wiggly eyebrow kid from that cadbury advert lmao
You should watch Gavin and Stacy
Ah I knowww, I still haven't ever seen it!
I'm old and watch HH religiously
"did you watch this in school?"
Yep, we sure did
I can’t believe you’ve disrespected Rattus Rattus like that, absolutely disgraceful calling him a mouse!
IM SO SORRY
His name is Rattus Rattus. He's not a mouse. lol😂
First Tracey Beaker, now Horrible Histories, BuzzFeed you have outdone yourself. Waterloo Road next?
Its on my list :)
You have to watch My Mad Fat Diary, truly an amazing show!
Literally says in the song.
"And your host a talking rat!"
Used to watch horrible histories almost every history lesson
You have to watch the songs! They are a vital part of the show
I can confidently say that i learnt more from horrible histories than from gcse history
as a fellow american who lives in england, we aren’t all like this. HE ISNT A MOUSE- RATTUS IS A RAT-
I never thought or realised that of course American kids didn’t grow up with horrible histories
He's just a bit too old to REALLY get it
Maybe too naive and literal?
Um, nope- it's not only you kids who "get it" :D I'm the same age as the cast, & they say they _don't_ write stuff "for kids", they just write what they find funny, so why wouldn't I get it?

I regularly watch this as a 29 year old who grew up on the book series
I live in Australia and I know what horrible histories is. I loved that show so much
Oh my god, I love Horrible Histories plus I am an adult and I watch this show religiously
The ironic thing is this show is more accurate than the history channel
Best ever--Charles II "King of Bling" and Charles Darwin "Changes"
Laughing at the fact that you think we watched this mainly for education and that our parents weren't just as excited as us
also you need to watch Stupid with King Stupid and devil finger, the Queens nose, Big Kids (which i know was british -american) and roman Mysteries
and if you want to go really little kids then you need tweenies, Brum, come outside, and teletubies
YOU HAVE JUST OFFENDED RATUS RATUS. NO ONE TELL HIM. HE IS GOING TO CRY. ALSO WE DON'T WATCH IT AT SCHOOL IT FOR FUN AT HOME.
We definitely watched it at school in Australia (but not whole episodes, just a random song or segment that was relevant to whatever topic we were learning about.)
In our history lessons we would beg our teacher to play the songs
I know more about history from horrible histories than from school.
I remember when Horrible Histories was just a series of books - i am old 😂
I love the books ngl, still have them around the house i think
Okay but the songs. Someone show him the songs 😂
i used to LOVE the horrible histories magazine as a kid and collecting the cards, the show wasn't even a thing back then LOL I FEEL SO OLD NOW (IM 26)
I started watching this show when I was 7 and I still watch it now (5 years later!!) with my cousin who is turning 7 soon!
We watched it at home but sometimes teachers might let us watch it in class if we were lucky and they needed something to keep us occupied
Kids love gross out humour!! I’m well into adulthood (so discovered the show once I had kids), and STILL think it’s brilliant!!
deffo needs to watch Waterloo road
Will add it to the list :)
Matthew Baynton - my first ever crush.
Erm, It's called HORRIBLE histories for a reason.
you have to watch all the songs omg they're the best bit
Omg, that program was my childhood....
I miss that program soooooo much.
I'm sorry this isn't a horrible histories reaction if there are no songs
RATTUS RATTUS IS DEFINITELY NOT A MOUSE... lol
The staple of British childhood
Not a mouse a rat
