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.

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

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

"and then he runs out of stuff to ban, gets bored, and dies" wow this is defo what a horrible history person would say

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

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.

Wow, that is one take. What a performance!

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

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.

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

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.

I love Larry as Bob, he's hilarious😂

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

horrible histories: helping me in my homework since year 7

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."

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

3:00 "raspberry and lime flavour" 😂 😂

this is the best way i can learn history

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

Horrible histories is like the most amazing unknown thing on earth. Especially bob hale

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

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 :)

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

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.

Very well explained thank you xx

this show understands me

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

POV: your in secondary school and your teacher send you this

“I love Catholics tee-shirt” l😂Bob Hale is hilarious! Larry Rickard’s frantic speed is pulled off perfectly

I wish I can talk as fast as Bob Hale

You should see the rest of the Horrible Histories series. If we had this in Primary/Secondary, a lot more people would have hound History fun!

I got showed this in a university lecture lol

Is it just me or does Bob fancy Sam?

he's my favourite

That's much better than the version I had at school.

Thanks, this really helped with history homework.

So Cool!

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

i learn so much from this man XD

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.

funny as hell loved this

This makes learning fun......

AS History revision checking in!

The last bit was really funny

That was the funniest bit from all his reports... :-)

Thanks so much! Now writing my paper will be so much easier haha

"He ends up getting so bored, he dies"

Omg Ikr! I have my Ap Euro History test tomorrow as well xD

this is the funniest learning video ever!

Ow we irish know all about Cromwell

Love this bit 2:36

He's broken our thingy!

This helped me do my homework haha

So funny but informative too

LOL THE END

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.

''Another win for the King up North, taking Preston, Wigan and Liverpool-- *Where my cousin Ted runs a dry-cleaners, just off the highstreet, and half price on Wednesday.* XD

Epic

@KINGDJS1 woah awsome!! i just got his from my teacher to watch and i go there now

laurence is awesome

Bob Hale is the best

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).

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

Where can I get an 'I love Catholics' t-shirt and a jelly pickaxe?

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

you forgot supplying muskets. the good old Enfield company.

We need bob hale to tell us about COVID-19

they should make one of the 2 jacobite rebellions

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

It's off of a kids TV show called Horrible Histories.

ill have to get my clothes washed at ted hale's centre

I wish this grew with its audience and helped with GCSE's

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.

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

Poor Oliver Cromwell, he was really trying hard to be good. Too bad he wasn't around to kick the Tudors off the throne.
