2 | * The ''Frightful First World War'' being dedicated to Private John Condon, who was the [[ChildSoldiers youngest British soldier]] to die in the First World War, at '''fourteen years old'''. |
3 | * The Horrible Christmas episode's sketch about the Germany/England football match on Christmas day. |
4 | --> '''English Soldier:''' Great game, mate! |
5 | --> '''German Soldier:''' Ja, ja! You want to change the shirts? |
6 | --> '''English Soldier:''' That might not be such a good idea, under the circumstances. |
7 | --> '''German Soldier:''' Aha! Hey, you a funny guy. |
8 | --> '''English Soldier:''': You're okay, too, chum. Happy Christmas. |
9 | --> '''German Soldier:''' Happy Christmas! |
10 | --> *they shake hands* |
11 | * Winston Churchill's lament after losing the vote to Atlee in 'Your Finest Hour' (parody of My Way) |
12 | ---> "That’s what we killed for, what blood was spilled for. Your finest hour." |
13 | ---> "The only cross, was one you wrote, ''[[WhamLine your brothers died, so you could vote]]''. Didn’t just beat me, you beat tyranny, Your finest hour!" |
14 | * The Historical Dating Service sketch featuring the infant Mary Queen of Scots... as played by Mathew Baynton's own infant son, wearing a tiara and sitting in his father's lap. |
15 | * Weaving in audio from one of UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill 's speeches at the end of the RAF Pilots song is weirdly heartwarming considering the actual song. |
16 | ** Also the fact that this song says "Some of the bravest men were Polish and Czech", giving a ShoutOut to some of the other nationalities that helped win the Battle of Britain. |
17 | * The love ballad of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. After so many tales of royals marrying for power and money, it's nice to hear about a couple who really did care about each other. |
18 | * Their sketch about James Hind manages to qualify. Hind was a royalist highwayman who [[HonorAmongThieves refused to steal from fellow royalists, and in fact]] ''[[HonorAmongThieves gave]]'' [[HonorAmongThieves them money]]. The royalist couple's pleasant surprise never fails to make one smile. |
19 | * Rosa Parks's song "I Sat on a Bus"; not only is it a great, uplifting ensemble piece, but it ends with a subtitle saying 'The Civil Rights Movement went on to end all segregation in America.' |
20 | * The "Viking Land" Simon & Garfunkel parody song. Hearing about the peaceful things Vikings did to Britain for a change is very nice. |
21 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O09WE2cH8c&feature=youtube_gdata_player series finale]]. (Warning: also counts as an ''epic'' TearJerker for fans of the show). "We're history... and we made it Horrible!" |
22 | ** In the final scene, the two Greek characters embrace each other as a sign of showing that they do care. Also, the two soldiers look at each other, knowing that they did well. |
23 | * "The Suffragette Song" which covers the period starting from 1903 and ends with the caption [[EarnYourHappyEnding "Women get the right to vote - 1918."]] |
24 | * A minor one in [[VillainSong "The Wives of Henry VIII"]] in the verse about Henry's third wife (who died in childbirth): |
25 | --> Lovely Jane Seymour was three. |
26 | --> The love of a lifetime for me. |
