Horrible Histories

Pretty good informative and entertaining British history show for kids and adults.

I love the catchy songs that help me remember interesting facts about historical figures. I can now, because of this show, recite every king and queen of England since Edward the Confessor from memory. No use to me at all but fun nonetheless.

I think the show has some funny gags like the ALEXANDRIA skit, and sometimes it's pretty interesting when the show finds some odd and obscure historical fact, but generally the show is just flat out unfunny shit that tries too hard to be hip with its pop culture references. The historical accuracy is akin to something like Cracked, where they choose the most interesting or appealing theory about history and present it as fact, evidence to the contrary be damned. Watch with a grain of salt.
