Eddie Izzard "World History" Sketch from Dress to Kill 

close minded in what sense

Forget the Hokey Pokey; THIS is what it’s all about! Kudos to you for being open to the possibility of learning and growing through laughter. Thanks for sharing!

?

I heavily doubt this lol

*↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑* Says the guy still stuck in 1962 😂

May I suggest you check out The Dollop podcast (American history/comedy/improv)

It's why I love him

I wish my history teachers had been more like him. 😂😂😂

Who? Joan Rivers? I think you’re commenting on the wrong video although they’re both great comedians.

@@BarterTom no, Megg is definitely talking about this video. I agree, she is probably the best and smartest comedian out there. I’d love to see her live.

@@JoRdAn941000 Well she’s dead so sorry. But Eddie is indeed great; shame he’s unwell at the moment.

@@BarterTom No, I’m on about Eddie, she’s still alive.

@@JoRdAn941000 Indeed he is and hopefully will remain so although there is cause for worry as people who transition are at a high risk of suicide, as with all forms of self harm.

I thought it was just me

I know right? Classic love it

@@pisto30 🤣🤣🤣

aaajjjajajjaa...he´s so gorgeously funny! Lo amamos.

I’ve actually started using this line in my History class. Get a lot of laughs!

yeah and also not giving back Hongkong until 1997

64t120r make that 20, this special was shot in ‘99 if I recall correctly

I had this DVD in (I think?) 1998. But yes, good comedy is timeless!

98 at his peak

It's from '98 :)

Cake or Death!

You are sooooo right😂

I saw him do this show live. I nearly passed out from lack of oxygen because I was laughing SOOOO hard the entire time. My family were by far the loudest and longest laughers in the crowd. My mascara had totally dripped off and I could be barely straighten up to standing when it was time to leave. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Eddie never disappoints.

They’ll cure what ails ya that’s for sure! To be honest, Eddie’s shows should be available over the counter. Apetta un minuto… *THEY ALREADY ARE!* 😋 🤪👍

Gitte Bjerre Braae yes! A land empty of human existan-who the fuck are these guys?!?

What's all this, please?

No we dont want any of your food thank you very much, just put some clothes on. Meanwhile that winter...excuse me, do you have any food? Love all that!

Do you have a flag?

@@lukusblack6442Never-mind, maybe that can come in useful later. 😬

Dea' haha that's great to hear! I was the same as a child :) the history bits are probably the reason my parents let my buy the Dress to Kill DVD haha

aaaaajjajajjaaaa...congrats!

Testing must be ridiculous

Yeah the testing is ridiculous. They only ask one question. They say, who are you?.... and she got 75% on that.

I know, right, that's my favorite bit too. XD

Why do people always repeat what we all just watched? I don't understand.

@@krisfrederick5001 Uhh, all right...Ciao!

@Jacob Zondag Ha, yeah. I guess it's just them repeating their favorite parts but, still. I'm just an asshole apparently.

greetings from Italy.. Ciao..

@@domet80 you typing on a scooter then? :-)

How many tribal wars did the native Americans have? Did you read about how they would slaughter every man and boy from opposing tribes and Stockholm syndrome the young women to join their tribe?

And that is exactly difference between Germans and English : English have critics . Germans have , too, only ...

His career 😂

​@@goodputin4324her

And having an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Southern hemisphere.

Falklands has been british basically since it was first settled. The argies can frankly fuck off. It was never theirs. Not at any point in its history.

@@sugarnads 1830 gauchos niggas be like: "am I a joke to you?" and the french and the spanish and some natives in the 1400

@@sugarnads it is british and all of 3 falklanders voted for union with argentina, but it's still a funny joke

@Giuseppe Corona Ciao!!!

I love his humour ❤

We've gone 'round in a circle, lads. Back on the boat.

It would've been better if the new Plymouth had landed on them.

I love how he says it was in "sixteen b'th'f'th." As if to punctuate just how meaningful it is to teach every single kid all the exact dates of things happening... take me for example, I can't remember a single "great event" year in my country's history or any other's. Find myself caring more about what happened, and why, for some reason.^^

@@hazukichanx408 it's important to know a bit about dates, so you don't go around claiming that Henry the 8th fought Napoleon (I have seen it happen) but you don;t need to know every exact year.

@@Blackadder75 or you know... if you know you don't know local/world history... then be logical avoid discourse revolving around it?

I know, @Sarah Celik, and I speak as someone who was born in Plymouth....not the one in the U.S.A. but the real one. Add to this the confusion when I tell people that I lived most of my life in Manchester....once again the real one and not the one that the Americans stole from us. Conversation between myself and your typical American. American: " Where were you born? " Me: " Plymouth. " American: " Oh, Plymouth in Massachusetts? " Me: " No, the real one. " American: " Duh, okay then where have you lived most of your life? " Me: " Manchester. " American: " Oh, Manchester, New Hampshire? " Me: " No, Manchester in Greater Manchester. You know, the real one again! " American sighs, gives up and goes off and hangs himself. Me: " It's a good job that I didn't tell him about my relatives who live in Derby, Boston in Lincolnshire, Edmonton in London or those in Birmingham, isn't it? It could've got even messier a lot sooner, couldn't it? "

@@Phil_A_O_Fish I pleas the 5th Dimension. It's not disputed we Stile those Bames from the Place that most of is Derived from. We Honor the Original Cities in our own way as wanting to recall and remember what we left behind. There's no disrespect as you State. Which has ben proven time and again by us Tallying together equally. Lose gracefully or don't play the game.

She

lol I think they're worried about putting Germany and Japan in charge of peace.

@@klatewilson5170 Instead they trust America, and look at how well that's turned out.

@@AtlasBlizzard nope. We did put Germany in charge of peace, ie the EU. We didn't trust America,they just barge in without invitation and declare they are in charge

RANDOMPOKING987 no money to be made in PEACE.

@Hentai is an Art except there is a cluster fuck of proxy wars in the middle east since forever

Eddie Hazard, coming this Summer

😂🤣😂🤣 Anyone who can make the UK sound like a child caught red handed is a genius 🇬🇧😂

Jamestown was 1607. And there were actually some landings and temporary settlements before Jamestown. Jamestown was the first permanent one. Look up Roanoke North Carolina “the lost colony”.

That's probably becuz the English probably resorted to *cannabalism* in Jamestown, so they want us to forget about it...!!!🤔😉😲😜😋

@@paulheydarian1281 chuckles

Now that you've said it, I kinda wanna see that too.

@@rebajoe Too late now Eddie transitioned fully

Not as a kid but all the time now 😂

Yes. Also, giving multiple possibilities and asking: "What's the right answer?" :)

That´s exactly what he does. :)

I agree 100%

Better yet, do a comedy tour at college campuses. I would like to think he'd be accepted.

Robert Wahl also teaches history with humor in his HBO special half-hour shows.

He definitely makes it more interesting. 🥰

Just put some clothes on!

Aw man, you did the best thing by coming here lol

I still don't even know who Ricky Gervais is. Am I lucky or sheltered?

@@hernehaugen6878 Lucky. VERY lucky.

@@TheBermudaMan You are pathetic.

@@BarterTom Nowhere near as pathetic as your Edmund.
