Horrible Histories’ 15th birthday sent this ‘favourite sketch’ viral again and it’s a proper treat
At the risk of making you feel even older than you already do, the fabulous Horrible Histories turned 15 this week. Fifteen!
And it’s been responsible for some of the funniest kids’ telly we’ve ever seen, quite apart from introducing us to all that incredible talent who have gone on to do more things than we could shake a history book at.
Happy TV birthday, #HorribleHistories!
15 YEARS of gracing our screens with the funniest, nastiest and daftest ride through history we’ve ever seen. (Party on!)

It was Stupid Deaths that we’ll always remember the most …
But we mention it again because of this particular clip which was sent viral by the birthday celebrations after it was shared by @HaybaleM. And it’s an absolute treat.

Happy birthday, Horrible Histories!
I’m being so serious when I say this show absolutely cooked my sense of my humour https://t.co/g6KE9RUdrI

What a show! I still smile whenever I think about the Stupid Deaths sketch about the guy who survived multiple nautical disasters … and I could probably sing most of the lyrics to the Blackbeard song, if we’re kind enough to classify my warbling as “singing.”

They’re so wonderfully silly https://t.co/xMrrvlWQi3

It’s the fact that the jokes are arguably so simple yet so effective that made it brilliant.
