About

You can stream Horrible Histories (2009) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

Based on the best-selling children's books and liberally splattered with guts, blood and poo, a group of British comedians offer an anarchic and unconventional take on some of history's most gruesome and funny moments, with topics including the Stone Age, the Middle Ages, the Egyptians and the Romans, among others.

History is usually a dry slog through textbooks, but this chaotic sketch show replaces dusty dates with irreverent songs and absurdly gross-out jokes. Expect to learn about the Romans and Egyptians through a lens of pure, unadulterated silliness.
