Horrible Histories: English Civil War with Bob Hale

[@Hazie995]

Bob Hale is by far my favourite character. I think he's developed so well. I just hope that one day he tells me about the Cold War and War Politics so I can pass my GCSE.

[@ericpraline]

But Death is also quite good

[@matthewkilic511]

Did you pass your GCSE History?

[@goodnight-moon564]

Matthew Kilic We must know!

[@Hazie995]

@@matthewkilic511 I did! I got an A. Thank you for asking!

[@antoniamccellist2871]

@Hazie995 Well done! Shame we won’t get to take our exams - what with corona and all.

"...Is about as much fun as stinging nettle underpants" I am going to use that one

[@Justice237]

I know this comment is 10 years old but I still use that saying to this day

[@MrOstrichLover202]

Can't believe I am using this to prepare for a seminar :S

[@jenkpopdeuk]

How did you do

[@cbradley1391]

"runs out of stuff to ban, gets bored and dies." xD love it.

[@dynamiteshadows1384]

@Thomas Swann Ok grumpy

[@rowanaboat4523]

I’ve been using ‘as much fun as stinging nettle underpants’ and ‘as useful as a jelly pickaxe’ virtually my whole life and I only recently remembered that they came from Horrible Histories.

This guy is the best actor out of them all he's hilarious lol

Wow, that is one take. What a performance!

[@ellenday2155]

I don’t know why but the candle instead of the lightbulb at 2:03 made me laugh so hard 😂

[@PRT95]

This taught me much more in 3 minutes than in a few months back in Year 8. Even though I'm doing the wrong time period.

[@Blissful_Simp]

I love Larry as Bob, he's hilarious😂

[@kamalalsb7292]

It's kind of interesting to think that if not for Cromwell being a vicious authoritarian that no one liked, who basically just wanted to replace one Cavalier tyrant (pun intended) with himself - England might well have gotten rid of the monarchy altogether in the 1600's.

[@pendragonxt3674]

Yeah. The royals got their revenge on Cromwell by digging up his corpse, putting it on trial, and then beheading it. And no, I’m not making that up. That actually happened.

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

I don't see the pun

[@abbeycat6425]

I love Bob Hale… because I find out interesting stuff in a few minutes. And I am a grown up person too!

[@HaHa-gz1dl]

The world needs a “Bob Hale ‘BUT NOT FOR LONG’” compilation.

I've seen one, i think it was by youtube user HI_IM_A_SHOUTY_MAN but im not sure

Be interesting seeing them cover the Balkan Wars: "Hello, and welcome to the News at When. When? The 1990s, when the people of Southeastern Europe decided that they couldn't live with each other anymore and started to go their separate ways. Here to explain is Bob Hale, with the Yugoslavia Report." ... "So Lord Carrington comes up with this new plan called the, well, Carrington Plan, which will make all six republics independent. However, the Serbian President, Slobodan Milošević, doesn't want to dissolve Yugoslavia, so he refuses to sign. Guess he 'Slobodan' that idea!" ... "So by now, all that's left of Yugoslavia is the republics of Serbia and Montenegro, and that is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because in 2003 the country decides to change its name to, er, Serbia and Montenegro, and that is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because in 2006, Montenegro finally catches up with everyone else and decides that it now wants independence after all, so Serbia and Montenegro divides into... well, Serbia and Montenegro. And that really is the end of that. BUT NOT FOR LONG! Because just two years later, Kosovo declares independence from Serbia, only this time Serbia isn't quite so keen on losing yet more territory and refuses to recognise it, and that really, really is the end of that. OR IS IT? After all, this is the Balkans, where everyone hates each other, so who knows what will happen next? Back to you, Sam."

[@michaeldavis4651]

I like the splash when Charles I kicks the Parliament into the North Sea.

Why did everyone in my class hate him he's a absolute legend

[@AlphaOmega804]

If the news was more like this i would watch it much more often.

Yay AP Euro test on English Civil War tomorrow! Thanks for the video.

[@susanbeesley8299]

Very well explained thank you xx

[@robertwilliams5087]

If anyone is interested in learning more about the civil wars, I recommend Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" podcast. It gives a good overview of this period :)

[@Emsinamic]

I think at the end he was talking about Sam Ooh!!

[@elizaclouds]

oooooh

[@skittysrule]

I get to watch this in History. I love History. :D

[@lifethroughcoraslenses36]

Great! Lucky you.

3:08 Wait, what was his name again?

[@PalleRasmussen]

I am a(n umenployed) high school history teacher and I would definately use this as well as Europa Barbarorum to spice up the classes.

[@historyslays]

I know I'm like 11 years late but actually fun fact james vi of scotland and 1 of england died in 1627, not 25. but aside from that i absolutely love hh its my favourite show EVER and i cant imagine life without it i just hope it continues so i can pass my gcse and a-levels.

[@maxreece2402]

How come all over the internet it’s 1625 where is the source for the year being 1627 of his death?

You nearly quoted the part of the Declaration that states citizens' right to "alter or abolish" an abusive government. And, the Declaration and Constitution rely heavily on LOCKE and Montesque (I hope I spelled that right because I'm not breaking out the dictionary at 10:30 at night).

[@bernardmacdonagh9517]

Ow we irish know all about Cromwell

[@Valencetheshireman927]

Yeah, he wasn’t great for anyone except puritans ! Though in fairness the reason he chose to invade Ireland was because they had attacked Protestants living there and they’d supported the king during the civil war .

[@skerry5907]

We all know ur not here for the history but ur here for that one line

You watch for the history.... But not for long 😂

OK in the description it says a historical weather man, how is he a weather man?!?!?!

[@Yorgar]

you forgot supplying muskets. the good old Enfield company.

[@TheHappycrazypanda]

Wales isn't mentioned because it was in union with England since 1301 and the civil war began in 1642. Scotland was joined with England only because it's kings began to rule England too.

[@NATHANIELthe1ST]

Did i just hear that there used to be a civil war with people who wanted a king, and people who wanted parlament, i thought those were two different things

[@ellenkingsley]

I didn't know that Charles I and Parliament teamed up to overthrow Cromwell

[@kfsryakunt09]

they should make one of the 2 jacobite rebellions

[@hyperher0]

I couldn't stop thinking about 'Oliver Cromwell' by Monty Python while watching this. I suppose it's because it's sort of relevant.

[@HyugaSasori]

I'm using this video to come up with a counter-argument in my essay against my professor who insists on using the Marxist view that the English Civil War was actually a full-blown revolution between Diggers and Royalists instead of Cavaliers and Roundheads.

[@tahmagicz]

I’ve never heard that before. I thought the diggers were a small group with relatively no stake in the civil war - more just background action. Your professor sounds kinda stupid
