History Today - German Domestic Policy

“History Today” was created in the second TV series of ‘The Mary Whitehouse Experience’ and the catchphrase "that's you, that is". It continued throughout the subsequent Newman and Baddiel “In Pieces” series. The sketches saw two old Professors (Rob Newman & David Baddiel in suits and grey wigs) fire constant schoolboy insults at one another under the pretence of a historical discussion show.

"You See that John Inman?" "I am aware of his work" "You lost a fight to him.....he beats you up everyday"

[@RNC200711]

"You see that John Inman? You've lost a fight to him" lol I loved History Today

[@stusixtyone]

see that one dislike? thats you that is.

[@mrspivvy]

my fave is "see that thora hird? you fancy her!" "aha, you ARE her." "I'm not. I'm bloody not."

[@Potionette81]

At school, the boys in my class made up their own versions of this. For example: 'You see the Grand Canyon?' 'That's your mum's fanny, that is'.

[@RealityCheck6T9]

What, dusty?

[@itookallthenames]

very scenic

[@Mrpublicimagelimited]

Well travelled?

[@ph8077]

I was in your class; the original joke was "that's Jennifer G's fanny, that is"...we only changed it when you were around!

[@thelwulfeoforlic6482]

Phil Mynads - Harsh!

[@captpicard100]

“See that Hindenburg R101” “Do you mean the largest airship ever built in the History of the World” “Yes” “That’s your Prostate that is”

This sketch is from the 1992 History today tour, it was live at the Edinburgh Playhouse. I saw them on the same tour when they played Newcastle.

[@garyheron]

See one of those old worn out flick books where you flick through the pages and a badly drawn stickman walks along, that's you KZbin that is.

[@talkychris]

Top drawer. Thank you, and good night.

[@happentodie]

Rob Newman was outstanding ,Badiel was pretty good but Newman was way ahead ,a truly brillliant comedian

[@shaneshankly4518]

But of course the media wanted David as he ticked all the boxes

[@221b-Maker-Street]

@@shaneshankly4518 WTF are you talking about?

[@MrTrevor181]

Hello girls, get your laughin' gear round this!. Gets me in stitches.

[@thefabledgamer407]

"That's your willy that is" "That's your mcstiffy"

[@seanycage2610]

Big stiffy

[@Mr2at]

German Domestic Policy is so complex, its difficult to keep up with such an in depth topic.

[@timmellor2599]

Do you feel they even scratched the surface of the debate? Even by the standards of History Today, they started in on each other pretty early!

[@LaughingPsycho]

I didn't know they had cameras in at the Brexit meeting!

[@thelwulfeoforlic6482]

Which ones the democracy denying remoaner?

[@RealityCheck6T9]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@ThanksChris]

RIP Geoff Capes - that’s your mum that is

[@archive6094]

I wheeze so much at this

[@stewartchristie3408]

Remember when David Baddiel used to be funny? That's him that is.

[@stevienicked]

Rob's new book, 'The Trade Secret', is brilliant. He's a fantastic, writer.

[@martinperkins4174]

Well hello just slide into my Bentley and Im sure we can come to some arrangement. I'd forgotten how funny this stuff was and still is much more catching up to do will post later when I get my breath back!

[@stufaryde8819]

That comment wasn't that funny... But the fact that you wanted it to be and I disappointed you, turned me on. OOOoooh Gawd.

[@irishminihaha]

classic....!!!!love it.

[@80srenaissance67]

Rob Newman always seemed the funnier more sophisticated one of the duo...but Badiel got some better lines here

[@users32471]

what a great comedy double act :). lol :)

[@davidrose1847]

See that Girls bike painted with pink nail varnish..........that's you that is LLM

[@ivorbiggun8904]

Apparently they didnt like one another during their series together

[@roottoot1278]

Shame they fell out.

[@Dinosaur149]

LOL :D fantastic

[@austinreid8203]

Still as funny now as it was then,I'm going to forgive baddiel for his tottenham views but only because this is funny,

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

Baddiel supports Chelsea. Always has

[@stephennathan]

from 8,562 views, you would think this would at least get more than 4 comments

[@ravenaussie3760]

115,133 views now, and still not enough comments.

[@lloroshastar6347]

Is the crowd made up of Baddiel's family? They go mental at everything he says

[@rupert-j8f]

i whould say it was recorded live in wales because of the jokes about nidri football club by badiel.

[@ph8077]

Did they accidentally bus in a Justin Bieber concert audience?

[@cloerenjackson3699]

Oops. The trans police will be out for this if it comes to light.

[@finncullen]

There there, go find a safespace where you don't have to worry about... (looks around)... nobody in the comments being "out for this" whatsoever. Imaginary persecution is such a precious little thing isn't it?

[@jacklawrence2557]

That’s trash that is

[@Fummy007]

This audience is the worst

[@katecunningham7834]

Thank you Thom x
