Horrible History repeats itself

"as kids we're not taught real history by the state curriculum. we're taught it in a kids show produced by the state and broadcast for free on the state-run tv channel!"

yeah ngl I read the british empire horrible histories book when I was ~8 and then later when people started talking about 'we never learned about xyz in school' I had to double take because I definitely HAD learned it... but oh yeah. it wasn't in school was it.

I’m old enough to remember when Horrible Histories were BOOKS. Open the libraries! Also this is very fun.

UK tour is now on sale!

i’m partial to “divorced, beheaded, died” myself

It was a book series first if you were a 90s kid

For the record, "Horrible Histories" is a BOOK SERIES, some of which was adapted for television.

Other horrible histories parody songs include: Minted - A parody of Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal, about Marcus Crassus King of Bling - A parody of My Name Is by Eminem, about Charles II Miserable - A parody of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by the Smiths, about Charles Dickins.

Nothing in horrible histories about colonisation and slavery by the British. Even they skim over it

Here you go!

Missed the best song ever. English civil war song

Even in America they don't tell you everything in school history books. Back in the day, i got in trouble at school once for bringing that up. I'm sorry i think its a little strange how Alexander Hamilton had like 3 sentences in the chapter when he's literally a founding father!!

Roman is such a legend!

HH the goat

Horrible Histories was a banger of a show
