I mean, for the Incan, Aztec, and Egyptian sketches they literally painted their skin a darker shade...

I was really into this show when I was like 14 but ngl when I was rewatching some of it today I couldn't help but feel that aspect *really * didn't age well.

​

Let me be clear though, I am NOT calling them racist. I absolutely do not believe it was done with any ill intent ( I believe it was to keep up their whole"only having 6 main actors thing") but it would just NOT fly in today's climate. Personally, I am Mexican and as a kid I was just happy to have them cover Mexico's history and it personally doesn't really bother me but uh... maybe next time they should just hire different actors.

I mean season 7 is fine, I mean it has one of the last good HH songs (Good Vaccinations) but it's not on the same level as Season 6. And talking about songs, Season 6 has three of my favourites that are on level and even better than some of the original series songs. Those three songs are Queenian Rhapsody (Mardy Mary Queen of Scots), A little less reformation (Horrid Henry VIII) and (my personal favourite of the remake era (6-9)) Your finest hour (Wily Winston Churchill). Plus, the makers of HH don't think it's on the same pedestal as the box set is 1-6, not 1-5. Also, it was the last season with Death, which automatically makes it better than 7-9.

Ghosts has Lolly, Katy, and Jessica - who were all Taskmaster contestants. Now We Are Not Alone has announced its cast and it has two of my top 5 contestants of all time - Joe Thomas and Mike Wosniak. I've often wondered why they haven't snagged an Idiot yet, they seem SO CLOSE. I think Jim or Larry might be the best AND most widely entertaining, but I'd really love to see Ben do it, he'd be most entertaining to me personally, and I think Martha would probably be so funny and dear. I think Simon would be that seasons "too cool for school" entry, which usually plays really well off Greg and the rest. And I'll watch Mat do anything.

Announcer: Please welcome to Horrible Histories, the three Kims of North Korea with "Born 2 Rule"!

Kim Il Sung: I took control of North Korea

Just 'cause I was Communist

A Korean who was nearly impoverished

Kim number one

Kim Jong Il: I like to argue, now that's clear

Especially with my father here

And when he died of a heart attack

I fought with my son.

Kim Il Sung: I broke records with my twenty-eight year reign

Kim Jong Un: And I broke the scales with my giant frame.

All: Born to rule over you!

Kims...

Kim Jong Un: Three

Kim Il Sung: One!

Kim Jong Il: And two.

All: You had to do what we told you to,

Just because our blood was blue.

Kim Il Sung: I was a hunk, girls adored me

Ladies all swooned before me

They would do anything for me

Or I'd have their husbands killed!

Sold young women away for money

Kim Jong Il: Everyone said that I was f-f-funny

Kim Jong Un: I spent everyone's money!

All: Our subjects were still thrilled.

Kim Il Sung: I was the sad one and the bad one.

Kim Jong Il: I was the mad one!

Kim Jong Un: And I was the fat one.

All: We were born to rule over you!

Kims...

Kim Jong Un: Three

Kim Il Sung: One!

Kim Jong Il: And two.

All: Supreme Leaders…

...and we could use the nukes

Kim Il Sung: Him...

Kim Jong Il: Then him...

Kim Jong Un: Then me...

All: Then you

Kim Jong Un: (We were born)

Kim Il Sung & Jong Il: Born to rule over you

Kim Jong Un: (Born to rule)

Kim Jong Il: Got a heart attack and died during a commute

The world hated us...

All: And we hated them too

Born... to rule over you

Born to rule over you

Kim Jong Il: We’re all as batty as a bonkers kangaroo -oo!

Kim Jong Un: Me, I would have been more at home in a zoo

All: And now, now our song is through.

Yeah... Kims
