Horrible Histories (2009 TV series)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Complete Monster]]: Plenty, and [[Played for Laughs]].

* [[Periphery Demographic]]: Particularly the Live Action series. It's on [[CBBC]], the intended audience could stretch to high-schoolers but assume for the most part they're looking at the 9-12 demographic. The show beat out other ''adult'' comedy shows for an award, and the first two series have been re-edited into an adult version hosted by [[Stephen Fry]]. Arguably, the writing allows for more of a [[Multiple Demographic Appeal]], but its popularity is largely this trope. Also counts for the books.

* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: Many many facts (Apart from the overall [[Black Humor]] and [[Dead Baby Comedy]]). Like, that Egyptians piled up dead foes' cut-off genitals after glorious battles, all the way down to the rather tragic morals in many book endings.

 

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The League of Gentlemen are going to do some sketches for series 4.

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: The "Dick Turpin" song is all about Dick Turpin not deserving the [[Draco in Leather Pants]] reactions he apparently gets. Of course, given their plan for this was to take the resident [[Mr. Fanservice]], dress him up and put eyeliner on him, then have him sing about it, one can wonder how well they actually thought this through.

* [[The Woobie]]: Poor vilified Richard III.
