I love this history lesson portrayed as standup comedy. Petition to have Eddie Izard teach all history courses.
Aye!
I thought the same thing. Would be a great series.
Him and his minions already do. Ask any kid anything now, its crap
@@leonsempers9796 "HE" and his minions, and what's crap about it?
@@Mozart1220 dick
Robin Williams said Eddie is the funniest contemporary comedian that he most preferred to watch.
Now that's some respect.
To think I began watching Eddie because he is a good performer. I dearly miss Robin.
kent neumann - but Robin Williams was mentally ill and killed himself; personally I'd prefer accolades from people of sound mind.
@@markfox1545 robin Williams killed himself bc he suffered from Diffuse Lewy Body Dementia. Plz do some research before you decide to pass judgement and or spread false narrative.
@@markfox1545 sounds minds don't make the same level of comedy. Robin is one of the best ever in his field.
4:50 “Where in England do you live?” “France!” Eddie Izzard is a fabulous history teacher!
Richard is kind of a cheap shot, there, though. Before he was in line to inherit England (he had an older brother, Henry the Young King), he was already in line for and effectively was Duke of the Aquitaine in France. He of all English kings (along with William I and Henry II, who were born French, and probably George I) has the most excuse for being un-English.
@@bobbyfeet2240 More to the point, at that time, Aquitaine was English territory. Saying that Richard was in France makes it sound like he wasn't even in the country that he ruled but, actually he was: he was in England, just in a part of England that's now part of France. Anyway, still very funny and very educational.
I actually don't think it's a cheap shot, you guys, nor that Aquitaine also being ruled by the Normans - not "the English", crucially - invalidates the point that Richard was a pretty ridiculous "English" king. He notoriously hated spending time in London because of the weather, and in his entire ten-year reign he's estimated to have spent a total of 6 *months* north of the Channel. What he really preferred was going off to play at war in the Holy Land, but that's another topic... 😁
@@beeble2003 ...Aquitaine was not "English" territory....it belonged to the dynasty founded by Richard's father - Henry II.....these were times when dynasties were more important than nationalities but when we look back we see things through modern eyes.....the 100 years war, for example was not really England v France, but rather Plantagenet v The various French Royal families.....
The sad thing is, as a high school history teacher, I can tell you that a great number of students wouldn't get that joke.
I love Eddie Izzard. His Cake or Death bit is what introduced me to his comedy and it's just brilliant man, brilliant.
That entire show is brilliant! Dressed to kill I think?
@@billythekidperez7343 Correct. Love it! Own it!
Cake or death? ....Cake!.... Well, we're outta cake!.... I'll have the chicken 😂😂😂
@@billythekidperez7343 I bought the DVD when first came out!! His bit on what if Darth Vader had a regular British accent instead of James Earl Jones, fucking kills me Everytime!!!!
@@ColinsProopkitten "didn't expect such a run on it" 😂😂😂
Eddie is one of the all-time greats. His fearless, free-form style, the miming, the hilarious history lessons…man, he is unparalleled in stand-up. By far and away, the most unique stand-up comedy.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
He has that genius for trying to humorously envisage how some things came to be. Typically, he focuses on things that seem foolish once we look at them closely.
the smartest ridiculousness since Monty Python.
the "you look like an astronaut" line is fucking incredible! (he would be holding his own head, like astronauts hold their helmet)
Thank you for that explanation, I couldn't graps the imagery as I imagined the dome helmet on the suit - not under his arm. 🤣🤣
He is too ridiculously, wondrously, hilarious. My favorite philosopher king of comedy.
He is so much smarter, I love when he has an audience who respects/"gets" his intelligence and historical knowledge.
You think that audience did??
Intelligent, well-educated, and quick-witted.
@@Orphen42O lol p
I died when he turned a linguistic history lesson into comedy! 🤣🤣🤣
Beth ?
RIP
Eddie Izzard is hands down my favorite stand up comedian. Her stream of conscious, surrealistic style has so strongly influenced not just my sense of humor, but my worldview in ways that's difficult to overstate
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
@@eddieizzard4251 omg stop impersonating her
It's a he.
@@FRodriguez_ Nah, sweetie, she’s a person. I know this is hard for you to understand with your bird brain 😉
He might be a funny guy, but world view?
Eddie Izzard has the most beautiful eyes in the game.
WORD.
Imight Realperson You’re dope and I hope you have an amazing day 😍🤣
Must be something wrong with yours
Martin Cornish And there it is, why we can’t have nice things.
It's just the eye liner. Rocky Horror Show does this to people.
Honestly the challenge with Eddie is keeping pace with his punchlines - they come at you so fast you end up laughing because you know it WILL be funny WHEN you get it! He's brilliant!
I love how his humor is intellectual and intelligent
It is also smart and smart.
@@troyreeves26 I hate to break it to you (by which I mean, "I am thoroughly enjoying correcting a smart-arse"), but "intellectual" and "intelligent" do _not_ mean the same thing. They are often linked, of course.
@@andy6576 Hate to break it to you, but using two synonyms as separate adjectives is tautology. This is why you don’t find such writing in academic literature. It would be like saying he’s a “loquacious, talkative man,” it’s entirely unnecessary and it reads clunky. Perhaps you should “thoroughly enjoy” some English courses before you try schooling others.
@@johne.nobody2946 I'm a fully-qualified English teacher so...how to put this? Oh yeah, two verbs and a pronoun should do it: go f**k yourself. Yep, I thoroughly enjoyed that.
@@andy6576 So you're wrong, is what you're saying?
"This is the voice of the Mysterons".
My childhood feels validated.
"But anyway, human sacrifice" - proof that Eddie can de-stultify any topic.
I love this comment.
Omg he would make a great history teacher!!!
I was just thinking that lol.
He’s going to make a great member of parliament or London Mayor. His original nationally recorded stand-up “Dressed to Kill” was great and overtook Murphy’s Raw in total sales.
He's funny but his history isn't exactly accurate.
Yeah apart from the fact that his history is 99.9% incorrect. ....
His history is better duh lol
“As English as English pie”🤣
January, 1649. Down came the axe, and in the silence that followed, the only sound which could be heard was a solitary giggle from; Oliver Cromwell, Lord protector of England. Olé.
Born in 1599 died in 1658
Only had sexual relations with respectable cheesemakers.
September
That song is how I first learned about Oliver Cromwell and the fact that England had civil wars.
@@anarchist135 September
The Magna Carta was signed in 1215. Well that's about lunch time isn't it? 😂😂😂😅😅😅
yeah I liked that one asdfsdf
I think that was the funniest thing he said in the whole skit. I was a bit disappointed that no one in the audience laughed there.
Its brilliant, because like with his English as the language of the working class, I will remember that the Magna Carta was signed just after lunch.
@@skullsaintdead And Charlie One's execution was 1649, just in time for tea.
@@bazcuda The football had just finished.
Watching her some 20 years after discovering her, it dawns on me how much of my historical knowledge I gleaned from her routines. Damn Eddie is a treasure.
"her"? for goodness sake stop virtue signalling. he is male and doesn't care much about pronouns
@@psyskeptic9979
Eddie actually said she does not mind which one is used. So maybe stop whatever YOU tried to do here.
@@themurrrr I was about to say. In a recent interview, she said that she's letting the female side of her run things and right now is going by she/her. But of course respecting that causes some people to get uppity.
Maybe you should have said instead: ".........DAME Eddie is a treasure" N'est-ce pas?😆
And because Eddie doesn’t care which pronoun is being used, of course we have to use ”she”...’cause we’re ”edgy” like that. (Sarcasm)
LOL ffs... It’s the first-world problem/fad, Non-issue of the century, and nobody except Hollywood and a very loud minority gives a shite.
Eddie has described himself as gender fluid, and although I find him absolutely hilarious and a comedy genius, I really don’t care enough to find out which days of the week he prefers which pronoun. Nobody has the right to to that much of my own time and effort, so I go with the path of least resistence: He/him.
It's a bloody spoon, innit?
"....Charlie" - Eddie Izzard is genius!
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
That moment when he goes
"Charlie."
I couldn't contain my laughter. Simply brilliant.
(from 2:42 on)
There simply isn't enough of this guy online.
Eddie Izzard is so good lol Ive been watching his acts for years
I honestly have loved his stand up since the 90's, but they got a bit "meh" for a short while. But he is so back to form here! This whole piece could have been on any of his old stand ups, Dress To Kill, Circle, etc.
Yeah, around 2000 crimewatch did a program on him for telling the same jokes in different shows. It was a real dick move on their part, and it really knocked his confidence. So much so that he didn't gig for three years. He'd been gigging constantly for years and years up til then.
When he came back he was much shakeyier and in shows around then you can see him just not have the confidence in his own jokes.
Thankfully, since then he's kept at it and his most recent stuff is fucking excellent.
Cedric Wublin thanks for that! I did love him all the time, but he indeed went from brilliant to "merely" very good for a while.
Cedric Wublin I mean duh who doesn’t not know that is in fact what comedians do?... they retell and hone their best material and then use it again later. Why would that have done anything to make him nervous??
@@LaDivinaLover Yes, you don't write new sets for each performance. Not unless you are Bob Hope and have writers working around the clock for you.
@@LaDivinaLover Thank you. I was going to say that. OF COURSE comics do the same bits over and over. Always have. The more the material kills, the more you hear it again. The Crimewatch thing was a total non-story.
Every time I see Eddie I remember him as the Disco gang leader in Mystery Men. You see, he was protected by the God of Hair Spray, and he _will_ dance again.
Love that he still controls the crowd! ♡
Eddie Izzards brain is incredibly attractive, I love his outlook I love that he is just unique ❤
"The part of the audience will be played by the cast of Night of the Living Dead"
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
@@eddieizzard4251 Thanks for the reply! I felt the audience didn’t give you enough credit that night haha. Keep up the good work!
@@someenglishguy you seem to be a really great fan of mine where are you from?
Did everyone get the "You look like an astronaut" gag? That's pretty funny.
Head under the armpit?
@@hermit8244 That is what I assumed :-)
@@TimAber57 oh that's brilliant
The laugh from the audience was too soon, I' d say it was fake, but it's the kind of joke I love him for
thx missed it. :)
Eddie's manicure is on point.
Whip-smart, drop-dead-funny and stylish as f#*k - that's our Eddie!
Always loved Izzards work, brilliant artist. Done a few good movies too.
I love Eddie Izzard’s penchant for humour in history! I actually learn a little as I laugh. The sheer slapstick of his evokes images is brilliant.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
He looks great here!
Lol I remember seeing him on HBO for the first time when I was a kid! I laughed so hard I got in trouble for it! “SHUT UP!!! NOTHING IS THAT FUNNY THAT YOU HAVE TO LAUGH THAT LOUD!!!” I had to watch it again! Lol I started looking it up on TV Guide and scheduling it into my week until it stopped showing up in the lineup lol
A great comedian !!!
Damn I love Eddie!! 🤣♥️
Love the history aspect so entertaining
I love his nails 💞
NO ONE funnier! Any where!!! I'm in love with this genius 💕❣😘🙋‼️😂😂😂😂THE BEST🤗‼️
I remember when I was watching Hannibal, and I first saw Eddie Izzards name in the beginning credits. I lost my goddamn mind. From that point on everytime her name showed up I was like "Oh bitch, this gonna be a good one" 😂😂
That was brilliant.
She is simply awesome!
LMAO @ "This is the voice of the Mysterons" XD
This guy makes history way more interesting.
woman*
Eddie’s vocal bits are always perfect
I like this new format Crash Course is trying.
The most Eddiest of Izzards.
Love him!
Not in this clip but in others, when he talks about Europe “that’s where history comes from” and calls out Americans for not knowing their own history by making up stuff, he just slays me.
I love when he explains Europe has castles--- and they are not made of plastic.
Eddie Izzard is brilliant.
"You see that spoon...yea...lets just call it a spoon...ok Jeff" omfg i died
Eddie is a god damn legend. Love him
"And where in England do you live?" "France... I live in France" had me rolling.
Eddie is a feckin GENIUS . . .
I love the sound effects he makes hahaha
"This was a dick head king"..... A line to remember, Eddie!
Oh man, Eddie just makes me laugh so hard!
"You look like an astronaut"! Absolute genius!
He is my favorite ❤
epic brilliant funny man!
love Eddie and always his historical lessons.
Adore this man
I loved his acting in Lost Christmas
The dude walks on stage with a magic wand-level crowd control.
"Charlie, you look great." lol
I love this person
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you
Truly awesome human being :-)
I only knew him as the henchman in Mystery Men. This was hilarious
The whole French/English thing I had no idea! That's both interesting and funny!
Glad you liked it!
Cut short.
Elsewise brilliant!
Funny and Intelligent!😂
I always fancy this wonderful man so witty
Totally has ADHD. I know as I too have it. He's BRILLIANT!
I lovw this
Hysterical!
now i see where ricky gervais gets his act from!
Aren't their styles so similar! I thought I was the only one who felt that way!
Sound a bit alike, kind of
Shame Gervais didn't also steal being funny as well.
Pfft. Ricky Gervais WISHES his act was within shouting distance of Eddie Izzard's.
They are both great comics. What is there to gain by comparing the two? It's useless.
Haha, showing his age. "This is the voice of the Mysterons"
"We know that you can hear us, EARTHMEN!"
02:03 **shhaaploff blu blu blu** 🤣
I didnt know Doctor Gideon was into stand up comedies too
fuck yeah man same here ... i had to google it :')
lol. years before Hannibal he was doing stand up. In fact this is his main profession.
Joey Lee You know that one of the crime scene investigators is a comedian too.
it was actually that episode that brought me here, i'm halfway through it and needed a break
"…and we'll use words around the spoon to tell what direction it's going and who it's friends with." - the best!
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
Damn it! *_I should have had them stand in a circle_* Now that was funny.
He's just great
I just heard she came out and then this was recommended. The universe is weird! She's so funny though, I appreciate this :)
HE. VS. FFS he's a straight guy, with a penis and you want to call him 'she' or 'Her'. He's just playing silly games
yeah!! I'd never even heard of her before she came out but then i searched her comedy and she's rly funny!!
Hahaha. He she. What a joke😀😀😀😀
@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 huh
Brilliant.
"You look like an astronaut." LOL
That's the one bit I didn't get
@@Baiko Got his head chopped off. Enters Heaven with his head under his arm, like an astronaut carrying a helmet.
I love Eddie…
Edwards historical lectures are legendary . K
*THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS!*
Dude is freakin Awesome
God the Omnipotent having to rely on a computer, whose password He, the Omniscient, can't remember...Brilliant!
"god" the made up, being part of a comedy sketch.
God the all powerful, all wise, future-knowing who could not even babysit Adam and Eve..will take care of you in your afterlife.
If God is omnipotent and omniscient, could he/she/it make a password so secure even he/she/it could not guess it?
Asking his child is brilliant.
Love Eddie izzard! You get a useful history lesson with comedy! You'll never forget historical events if Eddies given it his comedic spin!
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
First time I’ve ever seen him out of drag. Nails still on point though
Eddie Izzard is simply the best. Extremely intelligent and extremely funny. I will stop everything to watch him.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
He is a good comedian. Bravo.

It's a bloody spoon Steve!😂
I couldn't follow at the end when he said 'stop it'. I thought he meant 'stop the execution'. But then the penny dropped. Lol.
WHOA!!!
Eddie is one of my brother's favorite comedians. I would love to hear him give legit lectures on history. I'm sad he didn't get to be one of my teachers at Drama Studio London.
Thanks for all the love and support. I am blown away by the love from you all. I know these are hard times but with love and faith we shall all see the light again 🥰❤️❤️. Love you 🤗
A true comic genius
