    If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

    I just couldn’t resist having a look for Minty Badger, and she really did exist! I think her first name could have been Aminta, but she does come up as “Minty” on the 1861 census, living with her mum and dad (who had normal names - Samuel and Elizabeth!).
    She used the name Minty when she married Richard Large, in Warwickshire, in 1866, so I suppose she became Minty Large? They had five children, but I think maybe he died because she shows up again as Aminta in 1876, marrying Charles Garner . . . then he died and she married Frederick Rawbone in 1893. So Minty Badger ended up as Minty Rawbone - and didn’t die until she was 94, in 1938!

In high school she studied ancient and modern history. She has just completed her Master of Philosophy based on aspects of Ancient Greek law court speeches and will be applying to do her PHD soon, all because of Horrible Histories.

    Yeah, Victorians also used children to run under cotton weaving machines to clean up any cotton that fell on the floor. Also used them to repair problems with the machines, typically the machines kept running in both cases while the child was underneath. A lot of children wound up receiving horrific injuries from these machines which was part of why child labour was abolished.

    I wasn't a kid or even a teen when this came out, but I did watch a lot of it anyway just because I read the books as a kid and loved them (not sure if people know it was a book series, though the sketches in the show aren't the same as the comic book ones, they do their own thing with it, but the art, name and style are all the same as the books were). I love the fact it was not patronising and enjoyable for all ages.
    When i was a kid, there were a few similar historical comedy shows on TV. Maid Marian and her Merry Men is very similar in humour to Horrible Histories, for example, but isn't as educational. That is where this show really shines as it manages to be educational and entertaining.

    A few years back, my neighbour's kids loved the Horrible Histories books. Such an easy birthday gift to find and I got to read them with them😋.They learned a lot and we all laughed even more. The TV series is closely linked to the original books and had even more of the two families staring at the box, giggling madly and trying to eat lunch. Ketchup or Tracy,Come and tea were washed of the walls after.

    "Shouty Man" is a parody of Barry Scott, fictional spokesman for the domestic cleaning fluid Cillit Bang, by the way. And if you want to know more about what the Victorians did about all the poop, look up Joseph Bazalgette and the Embankment. It's finally being replaced as London's main sewer by a freaking huge mega sewer that is also fascinating and kind of puts Crossrail in the shade.

    I am Brazilian, and I got to know this show for kids around 2013. At first I watched it on TV because I liked history, but it ended up catching me, much more, for making me laugh. A long time ago a TV show of humor did not do me as well as this show managed to do. (Detail: I am an adult woman, and I have no children.) It is a fantastic show: it teaches you, and makes you laugh, even if it is about your "misfortunes" (in this case, the history of mankind.)
    Certainly all folks love humor, and comedy is something universal, but Americans and Britons are just brilliant at it - there is no nation that can beat all you about this, I think.
    Anyway, you are completely crazy, 😂
