"Ohh, coitus!" Aah, the exclamations of frustration by a learned man.

3:22, England saying "I'm going to have to opt out of that one, I'm afraid," continues to age extremely well.

It’s funny because it’s true

Year of Westphalia? Do remind me.

Almost like what happened with the post-WWI treaties of Versailles and Trianon to a 't'.

And you may ask yourself: H😊OW DID I GET HERE?

One thing that makes this funny: England wasn't even a belligerent in the Thirty Years' War.

My favorite geopolitical program

3:49 A little bit indiscreet here, Stephen? LOL

"Plague victims crawl elegantly..."😂 Wonder how does one do it elegantly

Even as a german i never get tired of rewatching this, just brilliant.

It speaks to astounding talent that they could make 17th-century geopolitics hilarious to a 21st-century audience.

Good Ole Hilarious Hugh...

Would someone please explain the reference to 'selling little things made of straw'?

I'm sorry I don't get it. Can someone explain it to me? and Why they don't want Luxembourg😂😅

"And England, for applying within 28 days, gets this charming carriage clock." OK, I can tell this is referencing something. In America, banks used to give out free goodies if you opened up an account with them like a toaster or alarm clock. Did they do something similar in Britain?

Luxemburg belonged to Spain at the time, but funny skit nonetheless :D

As an American, I find this take on European history hysterical.

England bawking at the idea of the EU is on track😂

i like how this depicted how easy the balkans got ruined lol

He's quite right those are revolting

Just saw Napoleon in theater. I came here for context.

The Savage lands of the Balkans!

What is the name of this series

whats the name of this show or film?

"Nobody likes the germans" still keeps up to this day

I’m telling my kids this is a documentary on the Illuminati

"We don't hate anyone, well you should! Makes life more fun." Hugh Laurie's inner House before the series was even concieved.

Is that Piers Morgan? Someone please let me know

How I like to imagine the middle ages.

France: "You didn't fancy just kicking some German arse? That's why we were there." England: "That's rather what appealed to us as well." *Foreshadowing is a narrative device used to leave hints or warnings about events to come*

Just missed. They would have called it "Columbia", not "America".

Comedy in the past, required an educated audience. No wonder the art form is now dead

Thanks for the morning laugh 😂

nice

what drama is this

Absolute perfection, I can't get enough of it after so many years and views. They should make one about the drawing of the borders of Africa, or even better, of the Middle East too.

Luxembourg and Belgium werent countries yet at the treaty of Westphalia, it was still part of the kingdom of the netherlands.

Ferrero Rocher solves every Problem 😮

Nobody wants Luxemburg? 😮

Doing CZcams SEO is a piece of cake! Just watch this video enough times, and you'll become an expert! 🧐💼

What's this? more please. what's the name of the show

I think the political satire of this sketch will hold up for, well, at least a thousand more years.

It's from which show?

Brilliant as always with this crew.

hilarious, what a lovely description of Luxemburg as well, lets use it for storage....

I don't know much about European history but I have a feeling that all of this did not work out really well
