[@jimb9063]

Not heard of these folks, will check out their other work. Really liked the MLK sketch, that's a clever 'what if' moment, as was Galileeroy the pimp. The slavery sketch was also good. I think it depends on what you're laughing at in cases like this. Humour, especially satire, is a good weapon. It's the juxtaposition of slaves complaining that they're not being sold which is funny, not the fact that people own(ed) other people as property. Horrible Histories do some great sketches for kids all ages, and Mitchell and Webb did a few good historical sketches in their various series.

Ehh, I'm not so sure. From what I've read, they were mechanically clever enough to figure that sort of thing out -- clockworks and mechanical harvesters were all undergoing constant development and improvement during the late 18th and 19th centuries. My understanding is that the real innovations which needed to be made for automatic firearms were metallurgical and (the absolute key component) "smokeless" gunpowder. Both of those require better understanding of materials science and chemistry, fields that were also undergoing rapid development at the time, but I don't know that seeing what's possible from a pair of machine pistols would have helped to advance those technologies any.

@@boom350ph they definitely tried things like that, and eventually came up with the Gatling gun. As I understand it, black powder fouling means you can't get more than a few rounds through a repeating mechanism before the whole thing gums up too much. There's also the question of industrial capacity (machine guns go through ammunition at a RIDICULOUS rate!) and necessary precision in tooling. One of the great advantages of the Union during the civil war was a certain level of parts interchangeability, but it was _abysmally_ low by modern standards -- and they considered that a national strategic goal in the 1860s. My point is, even with the designs, the technological and industrial ability wasn't there yet.

@@boom350ph but the precision tooling required to get brass cartridge cases repeatedly in the correct dimensions to allow proper feeding would still be a bottleneck. And they were again lacking the metallurgy to produce breech-loading chambers that they could trust wouldn't blow up in their faces -- an occasional danger even with muzzle-loading firearms at the time. It wasn't their imaginations that was falling short, but the level of scientific knowledge and precision machining available to them. In my opinion, at any rate.

Modern weapons aren't that far off from what existed back then... There was government documents indicating they discussed using an automatic rifle with a design submitted to them by a well known gunsmith. Automatic weapons existed back then, but they were usually too costly. It wasn't until modern production techniques that drove prices down that they've been more common now than ever. You can find very old documents dating back to the 1700s that had designs for automatic weapons such as the puckle gun dated 1718. We actually have actual guns such as Girandoni air rifle which was in used by the Austrian army from 1780 to 1820 or so. There's even ones from the 1500s from the area that's now modern germany, a Arquebus with a 10 round revolving cylinder. Nothing about the idea of keeping gunpowder and a bullet in the same cartridge was new, nor was the concept of firing bullets in quick succession. In fact evidence exists that many who founded our country had seen and fired these weapons first hand.

The Act to Prohibit the Importation of Slaves was passed in 1807 (After 20 years, allowing citizens to adjust from being dependent on international slave trade until then), eliminating American participation in the slave trade after January 1, 1808. The Act imposed heavy penalties on international traders, but did not end slavery or the domestic sale of slaves. Only the importation of slaves was against the law at this point, and the states that allowed slavery still operated slave related dealings without being penalized until 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified.

The editor who Compiled these Sketches was the one to Mess up all these dates

Something quite interesting: When Harriet Tubman was born, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were still alive. And Ronald Reagan was born before she died. She could potentially have met both the 2nd and the 40th US President. I remember Reagan, and I’m not THAT old 😄 Just goes to show how young the US really is.

Religious history is like Pokemon history. They're the same.

[@SliceOfDog]

Great reactions. For another comedy duo who have a lot of history-based sketches, I'd recommend Mitchell and Webb. Not sure if there's any compilations of their history stuff specifically, but I'd recommend: Are We The Baddies, The New Fuhrer, Bronze Orientation, Caveman Police, Conspiracy Theories, KKK, The Good Samaritan, Abraham and Isaac, Caesar.

While the Atlantic slave trade was ended 20 years after the adoption of the Constitution, auctions continued through the Civil War of home grown slaves. Mr. Terry needs to check his facts.

[@louiesamuel9189]

The belt and flintlock could shoot 16 rounds and was around the time of the founding fathers. They also had pepperbox guns, which fired multiple rounds. Some of which could fire up to 250 rounds. They also had the first machine gun about 90 years before the revolution, but it was not very workable, but the founding fathers knew of these weapons.

[@commiehunter733]

Exactly.... they also had cannons and would allow them in private use

[@ezekielreyes1215]

The slave trade had not ended by 1848, the import of slaves had ended by this time. Slaves were still traded, but they were traded internally within America. Meaning, the new slaves at this time were offspring of other slaves

naziman saying “insubordinate, chirlish” is a reference to the substitute teacher videos :3

[@Minister1Little]

Wow a history teacher reactions this is so cool! Great Job young man

3:49 😂😂😂 I usually avoid Bible jokes because of the way Christianity and Jesus gets ridiculed. But this was quite accurate, giving modern context to that story, even with the cursing it's not even blasphemous, and it's really funny 😂😂

[@kevintaylor9912]

It's not Christianity nor religion that are ridiculed it's the people that try to 🫸 their beliefs onto others that are the problem! Christians have a bad habit of acting like their persecuted when they are the greatest persecutors on Earth

[@ellebarker3280]

For clarity, the transatlantic slave trade ended but inner USA slave sales did not

[@j0hnn13K]

I think you've checked them out before, but you need more "Horrible Histories" in your life, "Stupid Deaths" especially should tickle your funny bone ;) Also, it is an incredibly accurate show too.

[@juisijuis8490]

Yes. I love that show.

[@J3nJ3nl0llip0p]

They have a character called Luther. He is Obama's "Anger Translator". The skits are incredible. During a Press Dinner, Obama was speaking...and brought out Luther. Keenan Michael Keye got to get up on stage... Next to Obama...raging all over the stage...what a moment for them. One more thing: ID what your politics are, one had to appreciate Obama's sense of humor.

[@bobbyquinting3918]

Over 250,000 attendees. 13 speakers spoke before Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. His speech was the last speech. It has been acclaimed amongst the most powerful speeches in U.S. history.

[@J3nJ3nl0llip0p]

Check out the one where they go to a Civil War reenactment in character as slaves. It's divine!

[@Suno-ta-sei]

Honestly tubman over jackson is a great idea. Jackson was a crazy son of a gun. And despicable human. But also a tank. Also martin luther king had supposedly plagiarized another pastor thats where that joke was getting that from.

James Puckle’s Machine Gun (1718): James Puckle, an English inventor, patented a machine gun that could fire 63 shots in seven minutes. This early machine gun had a pre-loaded cylinder and was intended for use on British ships to repel boarders. Pepper-Box Pistols ( Late 18th Century): These pistols featured multiple barrels and could fire multiple shots in quick succession. They were not fully automatic, but they were an improvement over single-shot pistols. Girandoni Air Rifle ( Late 18th Century): This Austrian-made air rifle had a 20-shot revolving cylinder and was used by hunters and sportsmen. Breech-Loading Rifles ( Late 18th Century): Rifles like the Hall Model 1819, which was produced in the United States, allowed for faster loading and firing than traditional muzzle-loading firearms. While not fully automatic, they were an improvement over earlier firearms. These early firearms demonstrate that the concept of rapid-fire weapons was not entirely new during the time of the Constitution’s signing

[@xXDoUbLeDDXx38]

Dude it's comedy, you don't have to ask "am I aloud to laugh at that" that's exactly why they made this show. It's to make comedy of more serious complex issues while still bringing attention to them. Society has gotten way to soft if we're at the point where were afraid to get in trouble for laughing! 😣

[@migzy4704]

The last one for me with the old footage and then getting hosed down.😂😂😂

[@robjohnston1433]

K & P was the funniest, greatest American sketch show of the last 50 years. I watch over and over and over and keep laughing just as hard!

They had cannons and rotary machine guns back then... covered under the 2nd amendment.

[@Sunset553]

that’s good to know

[@paulghignon4092]

There was also a design submitted to the government for an automatic rifle, and government documents indicating it was discussed using them. The government at the time decided against it for two primary reasons, first is they were expensive, and second was the concern of these weapons falling into the hands of the british, who were still using standard muskets and would potentially make their enemy stronger if a large supply fell into their hands. Coupled with the fact that the overwhelming majority of guns, ships, cannons, and war supplies in general were mostly owned by private citizens. There wasn't much of a need to supply guns when the population had more than enough, and their primary issue was simply having enough troops.

[@Yerocco]

@@paulghignon4092the US citizens have enough ammunition to arm a whole army for a while. Crazy how far we came. I didn’t know the backstory to the automatics but it makes sense not wanting the enemies to have the blueprints to make them. Now we send over weapons to the enemies for nothing.

[@colrunaway]

Rotary machine gun wasn't invented until the 1860's

[@commiehunter733]

The founders were ahead of their times... they knew the ppl should have nearly the same weapons as the gov.... for fear of a tyrannical gov

I could've sworn the slave auction skit was longer.

😂😂😂 it had me when kay and peel said I'll pay for him and my question is how'd they catch him 😂😂😂😂😂 that was a really good one, pretty epic.

[@leaguemastergg3647]

5:45 however well regulated meant well functioning in that context, not regulated by the government which those guns were intended to keep in check

[@vincent7160]

These guys are two of the funniest people on the planet right now!! I laughed so hard I cried!!

The best messed up date was the first one 5BC Before Christ but christ is alive???? Lol

The last supper picture had me dying😂

[@michaelshane7832]

The main goal for the 2nd Amendment was to ensure an adequate defense of a tyrannical government. So weapons SHOULD match (to an extent) what the military is capable of. Private citizens owned war ships during those times, considered to be the strongest military weapon.
