Tom Rosenthal On King Charles: The Hero In The Great Fire Of London | Drunk History UK

[@umbraarcturus2238]

"Ah, look at us: we are so ribald, and bohemian, we are drinking and enjoying our lives - " "Oy, Peephole, the fire's getting really close. Your house is goin' to burn down." *gulp* "SHEEEEEEEEEEEEIT!" Just love it.

[@jossminter5024]

all i remember learning about the fire of London is that Pepys buried his cheese in his garden to save it

[@2Sparrows4aFarthing]

You mean Peephole 🤣

[@laganza88gigante15]

Cheeky lil peephole

[@klaudia6057]

And his wine!

I remember the great fire or London. Strange times...

[@abcd4054]

He's the king - who brought back partying

[@duderyandude9515]

Great London Fire was a whopper! In my reign, London city came a-cropper. So this king did what was right and proper. Fought the fire, proved I’m more than a bopper!

Drunk retelling aside, Charles II honestly was Britain's best and coolest monarch

[@fabulousmyriad267]

+Kimberly Jennings I think he was a twerp but I agree he was a popular twerp of the people.

[@ribby9069]

Kimberly Jennings great horrible history song as well

[@KJW-js9bv]

Tafami Why a twerp? Lol If you mean because he couldn't keep it in his pants, then yes, I totally agree with you. Total twerp. But beyond that, I think he was a pretty good leader

[@KJW-js9bv]

Ribby Yes! Lol I love Horrible Histories, kids show or not haha

[@johnmccarron7066]

What about Alfred the Great? I mean...it's right there in the name. S'great.

[@HolandaChiquita]

I hope they'll get someone like David Mitchell to do this! Would be so incredible!

[@NicolaKaye]

ahhhh yeah! :) bring it on, that would be awesome.

[@QteaTheSwag]

Yess!! we need david mitchell on this

[@tamlandipper29]

HolandaChiquita - You, madame, are a comedy genius. Write it on a map of the battle of Balaclava and post it to him.

[@kawaiilotus]

They need to bring this back.

[@emmax8333]

That Peep bloke buried his cheese just to add

[@pixiniarts]

It was Parmesan, so really, really fucking expensive cheese... I mean Italian cheese makers use that shit as collateral on loans, there are bank vaults full of cheese in Italy worth hundreds of millions. He buried wine with ze cheese because the motherfucker liked to party, and no party is complete without nibbles and wine... The tragedy was that the first pineapple rocked up in Blighty in around 1670 so a few years after the great fire, Pepys lived until 1703 but the first toothpick-manufacturing machine was developed in 1869... Toothypicks in the 17th century were fucking expensive and not cheap enough to toss in the garden for the cat to choke on. So he got to see pineapple and cheese but never saw them together on a lil' wood stick... Which is rather fucking sad.

So, are you gonna say Happy Birthday?

[@xspondeex]

Drunk UK History. Fucking brilliant.

[@kwood7582]

The differences between the British and american Drunk histories are so funny! The British one tells you what they are drinking and corrects them when they say the wrong name. Americas doesn't give a fuck. But the British actors are better at lip syncing

[@user-hs5cw4my1c]

I wish my history lessons were as entertaining as this 😆

[@HarryPotterfan22222]

This is why I love Charles ii

[@wickedoll]

Why did I not know this was a thing!? This should show in the US as well on BBC America. This is freaking hilarious! :)

[@SuperAnnawright]

+Nicole Bush do you even have any history?

[@nazipunksfuckoff420]

this show actually started in the states

[@sergeantbigmac]

Nicole Bush But Drunk History started on Comedy Central in the US, I guess the British liked the format and potential enough to copy it lol.

[@wickedoll]

I know. But i didnt know there was an UK version. :)

Does anyone know the music score for this clip? Especially when King Charles is flaunting his royal duckets and freshly baked bread

The drunks are good, but they should go for a format more like the US version - Jimmy Carr voicing over isn't quite the same as Derek Waters being in the same room and drinking with them. Jimmy, come on and get in to it!

"Knocks it out of the park" - curious to hear a Brit use this most American of sports metaphors.

[@PcJoe243]

***** Actually this can also occur in Cricket, literally the most English sport there is.

PcJoe243 I did not know this. I didn't think there was an equivalent to an over-the-fence home run in cricket.

[@PcJoe243]

yeah knocking it out of the stadium or park.
