- Hello chaps, here's a documentary on the British Empire. Please deposit any local archaeological finds in the receptical below. Anyway, thanks to Paradox for sponsoring this one. Go and take a look at Victoria 3 here: play.victoria3game.com/Squire
- Komedie
Spoiler: We weren't wearing red uniforms, that was just our skin after a day in the sun. Always remember suncream when taking people's countries, chaps. Anyway please do go and take a look over victoria 3 using our link here, to support the channel: play.victoria3game.com/Squire
That "we cant use torture" part wasnt really accurate
Sun? In England? You're kidding, right?
Do you mean the Slavery based kingdoms that BRITIAN HAD TO WAGE WAR ON TO GET THEM TO STOP YOU KNOW ENSLAVING EACH OTHER.

Looks a lot like Studlands, about 15 miles from the Tank Museum 😀
Trust me guys, this was filmed in a real desert.
Nuh uh
A beach
Since when was anything real on this channel
@@TLR_ The only thing that's real are the tanks, most of the time.
@@SquireComedyyes(thinks about the 15+ videos filmed in war Thunder)😂
Fun Fact: That Oil isn't CGI, it just happened to pop up whilst we were filming.
slowly but surely you turn up everywhere
Technically the redcoats should have been French!
They didn't have to add sounds for the Americans coming in post then, either.
Thought I recognized that handsome arabized berber.
Casually drawing up lines in the desert since 1850
Too ooo Scorpio! I love ur vids
*1788
*1604
*1066
Are you trying to draw a line between this and your upcoming plans? Crickey
The "The Americans are comming" right after oil comming up was *FANTASTIC*
We have our own oil though
@@ethanmcfarland8240 we can always do with a bit more, amirite?
That was the best part! (I hate it here...)
@@ethanmcfarland8240don't ruin the rest of the world's joke. Thats all they have.
i mean come on man! the micky Dees arent going to build themselves!
love seeing laith showing up on squire
He's a lovely chap. Suprised he agreed to this, actually.
no for real i literally went "yo wait i know that guy" lmao
@@SquireComedy He is, he saved my son from a burning house and afterwards cooked an amazing dinner for my whole family.
@@johgu92 one of the events that happened in time
I love that I keep seeing Laith in or mentioned on different channels
I'm the sort of person who watches this and says "Tunisia was a French colony."
Definitely a missed opportunity. PS: Still owning French Guyana, the remnant French colonial empire is larger than remnant British belongings.
Since when would a good upstanding Brit NOT wish to take something away from their mortal enemies, the FRENCH? Cuisine, language, fashion, better bolt-action rifles; it's all fair game.
Because of that guy and his hunger strike
@@celston51”Food”? You mean random creatures in your back garden
@@friedrichweitzer3071 I think a part of that was the fact that de Gaulle set the tone after WWII of trying to keep what France could of their empire rather than bleed it out as quickly as possible as was the case with England.
Between Monty Python and Blackadder, this channel acquires lines like the British Museum acquires national treasures.
"uniforms in *that* shade of red" really struck it to me. I definitely know the pains of seeing a uniform triple in value because it's got a slightly more historically accurate shade of red.
It was filmed on a sand dune. So they added music from Dune. Genius
Watch out for Shai-Hulud!
"YOU SHOT THE ABORIGINALS TOO?!?!"
“WHAT DID THEY DO?!?!?!?!?!?”
They were original
@@MichalKolacnah, they were ABoriginal
British empire: "Do you have a flag? No flag, no country.."
Never fails to make me laugh bro. Only thing getting me through my summer school classwork
Our pleasure sir.
Cannot move because it's his home
Doesn't need an address due to being a nomad
Many nomads followed some fixed schedule. Like spending each summer up a particular mountain and each winter in a particular valley.
@@donaldhobson8873 So kind of like rich people with 6 houses? They're still required to choose 1 residence for tax, census and voting reasons, at least if they're US citizens (even with dual citizenship).
@@asahearts1 More 52 fields they park a tent in for a week each.
@@donaldhobson8873 And these 52 fields are reserved for their exclusive use?
@@asahearts1 Often kind of more or less, on an informal "we'll beat you up if we find you in our field" basis.
What is a "Local Museum" even supposed to be? I've only ever heard of a "Brittish Museum".
The British Museum is local to the English. 😀
when you "make the world british" everywheres local to british museums!
"What is... cricket?"
*Excited British noises*
Peak writing
Laith AND Squire!? Jolly good.
Lmfao those brits did love partitioning up countries with atleast one or two at very least straight lines
Tunisia shall learn the joys of BT and British Rail. While they're state owned anyway. Also, I'm not sure you want to find the artefacts found on the beaches of Great Yarmouth.
"Let's conscript him!" *Five seconds later* "Look out he's got a gun!"
But does he know what a lathe is?
woodworking? In the Sahara?
O this one was amazing lol, please do more pre world wars content
If CZcams seems to like it enough, we certianly will!
@@SquireComedy perhaps one day you could make a sojourn to phildelphia in the colonies to visit the uss olympia if you ever have a mind to film on the decks of a pre dreadnought warship. just a notion. speak to drach for details. say, thatd be an excellent colab!
Your videos have helped strengthen my love of history and have helped me get through tough moments, keep up the great work lads
Nice to see Laith in this vid, withstanding the British Empire's most notorious form of torture - cricket.
I love your videos, keep it up
We'll certianly try, thanks.
Didn't expect the ending. Well I should see it coming nice one sir.
It's a classic Squire ending, that.
@SquireComedy either freedom is calling or everyone go flying 6 feet to the air after they hit mines.
@@SquireComedy ending? have you seen the forever wars that ensue? theyre never eneding!
Splendid work on the cardboard this video. You've gotten so good it almost looks real. I think you could make a career out of this, you know.
I always love your videos, keep it up ❤❤❤
Aint No party like a diddy party
Party with P diddy or ten years in prison?
@@OV-10 Five Night at Diddy or Five Night at Drake
Holy crap, it's Laith! Awesome!
Isn't he handsome?
This is the most accurate portrayal of Finland I’ve ever seen!
Well to be fair, Spede could direct a couple of Finnish cowboy movies in a place like this.
Seriously didn't expect the country I currently live in mentioned.
They're just missing the white camouflage Simo Hayha wore.
We need to see a luft stalag episode 😂😂
Spiffing stuff you youngsters! Jolly good show!
As you were.
Carry on everyone.
You know I could actually picture a young Winston Churchill having these conversations....😅
Laith and Squire doing a video together is just a perfect combination.
It was a viciously sharp slice of mango, wasnt it Sir?
Under no circumstances should the enemy carry guns… even spears made us think twice.
as a tunisian i can confirm that that hump exists on the border ,and we made it into a round-about !!
Yeah but this video was totally inaccurate, it should have been the French instead of the British.
@@volbound1700 dont worry bro ...everyone and their mother came here at some point in time ....tunisia was even conquered by pirates once
@@fouzaialaa7962 Tunisia gets hit a lot because of its proximity to Italy and Sicily. Italy is in the middle and has always been fought over. Hey, you guys are the homeland of Carthage, one of the great Civilizations of history :).
Thank you for not putting the ad in the middle of the video
The sharpest and funniest thing I have witnessed in ages. Well done chaps!
Every time I think you can’t get funnier, you do. And I’ve been watching since 2014.
Oh that Snider....
They never fail to make my day
One sunny day in England:
Oli: Time to shoot Desert skits!!!!
This is a bit different then how the conquistadors did things
Just a tad.
To be fair, in most of these cases the Governments were actually opposed to harming the natives but the local colonists didn't care. Isabella/Ferdinand/Charles V wanted no natives harmed but all the Spanish crossing the sea were all about wealth and Spain had no real way to control them or care. Most the Spanish army was fighting in the Italian Wars.
Wow, filming on location in 19th century Tunisia!? The channel's come a long way from your back garden in England.
Love the Blackadder and Monty Python references 😊
The irony of this video being sponsored by Vicky 3 and the actors having better British uniforms than the ones in the game is great 🤣🇬🇧
I saw that optics joke a mile away,love it!
I love how the entire video consisted of the Brits trying to get around the native, only to take a 90 degree turn at the end
Very good video like usual ! It's even more funny considering that these 3 folks did all of this efforts and shenanigans for simply turn around this Tunisian man, and a few years after us, the frenchies came in and took all over Tunisia and turned it into a protectorate xD
I love this sketch
a british friend of mine explained the british empire to me.
it went like this : "spices? how much?"
"que?"
"spices? how much?"
"que?"
"all right lads, break out the guns.."
Why are the British in Tunisia? Wasn't it owned by the French LOL
Hell yeah, Laith featured in a Squire sketch! Amazing! Cheers guys
Rule number one of having an empire even if it just part of a crappy island in the future, never apologize for being on top, or in the shitter.
It will be interesting to see Squire's take on "The Great Game". Well done, chaps!
Sneider conversion Enfield nice!
I am a history fan and I can attest that this video is fully and completely accurate. It is also damn funny with good acting and beautiful uniforms. The editing is good too. Rule Britannia!
Reminds me of Eddie Izzard's flag bit. 😀
Brit: "We claim this land for the English Empire."
Local: "You can't claim it; we already live here. 800 million of us."
Brit: "Do you have a flag? No flag, no country."
Another banger
That was amazing
Brilliant once again 😂
What have the British ever done for us? Apart from penicillin, the Industrial revolution, football rugby cricket......
Filming on Location. Wow :)
They were standing in the way of progress
Carry On Up The Khyber would've been a better simile. The scene where the Red Coated Scotch guards, in kilts, lift the front of their kilts at the enemy to scare them !! 🏴🇬🇧
British Empire: Hey lads we just strike oil in Middle East!
American troops near by: Oil did they just say oil!!!!
Also British Empire: Oh bollocks the Americans are coming!!!!
Ah yes, tunisia, in the middle east.
I challenge your profile pic to a dogfight
Lovely day by the seaside - at Gallipoli.
Looks like a perfect place for a munitions Factory.
Run by three guys, one with a beard, other with a more red beard, and the other looking spiffy
Now do Belgium
Ooof.
Do you have the Kurlan Naiskos in that satchel?
Very good sir. Thank you sir
This was very funny
God damn, I mean most of yer skits are funny as fuck and well thought out, but this one was a treat! 🥳
Of all sphere of influence sponsored videos, yours takes the cake!
I like your videos
"He's very corrupt!" "Yes, he is corrupt isn't he? I say! Have you considered a career in the Church?" 😄
I demand a full-length movie!
It’s disgusting that we stole all those artefacts, and didn’t hand them into the local museums such as: ……
Oh blast, well maybe we should have left them in their place, wait why was the Rosetta Stone being used as part of the foundations for a wall? Well regardless it’s not like the locals would have ever smashed up ancient artefacts and relics…..
Seeing Laith the game streamer here was fun!
Bro gets sponsored by paradox every 2 videos. Your getting rich, very nice.
Paradox is the developer you go to if you want to buy a new DLC every 4 months for, let's see **checks notes** forever.
"it's safe with us.""
A touch of Eddie Izzard here!
All jokes aside, I think it's important to mention that for the majority of the time the British were actually extremely respectful and catered to the natives across the Empire. Thankfully they were able to put an end to things such as slavery, burning widows alive, ending tribal warfare, etc.
Ah, the north African Arabic dialect. As an Arab from the Levant I didn't understand a word xD but so is life. Good skit though, it is indeed a Britain moment
Has an algerian even i got a little bit of trouble understanding what he said
Very cool
The collaboration we never asked for but always wanted. Really putting that trilingualism to use
I am from India,
India was ruled by Moghols and the British and I am grateful to both these empires both have left an overall positive effect on the country. especially the British
The Hindu kings before the invaders didn't do much nor did the governments after the British left .
Indian governments have been corrupt
The environment is polluted,
Ppl lynch like animals
Most leaders are uneducated criminals .
The education and health system is crap , caste system is very much prevalent . Social system is full of injustice.
Only the top 10% indians have a good life .
Those with English school education are lucky
The British museum artefacts are just political distractions, it makes no difference to the common man !
Oil has been there under the ground for millions of years nobody really valued it ,
.It became valuable only with
British /American scientific innovation.
Most oil rich countries would have been poor with western innovation!
Wasn't expecting to see Laith
Correct me if I’m wrong but is that a Springfield 1884 Trapdoor rifle?
Where do you obtain all the uniforms for your videos ,great attention to detail
Did he just say something about an ottoman ? omg hahaha. Whats that guys name. He has me rolling?
Americans upon learning random country has oil: They need our help!!!!!!
1 second in and I’m dead from the dune music. 😂
Damn this good
I didn't expect to see Laith here
Lol. Didn't expect a Blackadder reference.
Wow, i genuinely thought that laith was going to shoot the british soldiers when the leftenant lost the artifacts
"Why don't we get him drunk, and press gang him into service?" That worked in 1770, that will not work in 1870.
