Might I just point out that idiot or not, Pepy's writing everything down taught historians a huge amount of what they know about daily life in the Stuart Age.
If I wrote down everything I experienced from today....till my dying day...people 300 years from now would know a lot about the age we live in. Would that stop me being an idiot? Doubt it...in fact the age we live already has that! It’s called the Internet, chances are 300 years from now people will be able to look back and say “Wow! Everyone in 2020 was an idiot! Except for that girl who posted this cute cat meme”

Unlikely. Pepys preferred to write himself, he had a high ego and sense of self, strongly doubt he would have been interested in other people’s scribbling. Least of all Facebook of all things.
"How many fish historians do you know?" "One." "Apart from the bloke who wrote the book." He didn't write the book, they don't say he did - and on the front cover of the book he holds up it correctly says that it was written by Francis Willughby. Sorry!
Apparently so. This isn't the only program where I've heard it said that way. As an American I must admit I have no clue how that makes sense. But apparently a lot of UK names of places and people are pronounced very differently than how they are spelled.
@@jamestown8398 I just think it's a shame to give all the blame to one person, when there is plenty to be shared around. How could a bunch of smart people be so stupid? (Of course that's a question that has been asked many times throughout history.)

It's daft to say Newton discovered gravity. The earliest amphibian discovered gravity when it crawled onto land. Rather, he discovered the laws of gravity. Still hilarious the Society's budget was blown by a single member.
Think about all the stuff older societies knew that were lost to us. How the hell did the Greeks know the liver could regenerate? Story of Prometheus....
@@punkwrestle I think that is most likely a coincidence. Prometheus was immortal - you still die if your liver gets eaten by an eagle, regardless of whether parts of it are able to grow back from minor damage.
Nathan Gamble Depends on how much of it he ate. I think you could lose like half your liver and it will still regenerate, but it is odd that of all the body parts they chose the one that actually does regenerate..

True, Pepsy's wrote about the Great London Fire of 1666 in much detail, I believe he was maybe a little long-winded but a brilliant historian. 🤔
Would COVID-19 victims publish diaries on their experiences or blog about their experiences?

I love Mat’s facial expressions in this scene, especially when he says “You’re an idiot, write that down”
I love the way he says “On what?” It sounds like this might not be the first time Pepys did something like that.
I don’t want to.
As a lifelong fish historian, I am siding with Pepys on this one.
So you’re the one.
@@punkwrestle We are legion
Is it true that this was a real book
Can't blame you for that. Me, I prefer the one who discovered the Three Laws of Motion.
@@jaybestnz Wikipedia said Yes.
Also Newton's dog Diamond chewed the manuscript of Principia so badly that Newton had to write it all out again by hand.
Isaac Newton's dog ate his homework? And lo, the jokes did writeth themselves.
Hahaha wow
My favorite part of the diary is when his long-suffering wife tries to murder him with the fireplace poker.
Yikes! Was she charged for this? That's brutal.
@@thunderbird1921 Maybe the authorities let her go after realising her husband was an insufferable oaf.

I wouldn't be surprised given how often he cheated on her with the hired help
I bet Snuggles is a female that has serious issues with men.
Pepys buried his cheese and wine to prevent them being damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
(See Season 1 Episode 9)

Pretty much any woman in arm's length.

Neil Degrasse Tyson showcased a copy of it when he did his version of the tv show cosmos.
seriously, these guys are the 21st century Monty Python! 😂
A family-friendly version.
Agreed.
pretty much the best
@@carlbirtles4518And educational!
Members of the royal society started giving copies of the history of fishes to each other as a joke.
I wonder how Fishbrain took that.
Pepys would have loved Facebook. Everything that happens in London-town indeed, complete with pictures.
Historians are going to read some interesting things in the next 400 years.

Mat: I am an iDiOt wrote the idiot Pepys!
I'm laughing at that way more than I should be. 🤣
In case anyone else was confused, "De Historia Piscium" was written by Francis Willughby, not Pepys.
Interesting about Newton's Principia, but very idiotic of Pepys to use all of the Royal Society's money to publish a book on the history of Fishes.
And according to the comments he didn't even write the book, he just published it.
Top tip: introduce a spending limit on certain things to avoid being a pennyless society.
1. He kept diaries after the one he published, which was written between 1660 and 1669.
2. He didn't write the book, but he did publish it.
3. He almost invented the photocopier
ProjectFlashlight612 Won’t anyone think of all the poor monks who were put out of jobs because of technology!

@@punkwrestle this was after Henry the 8th abolished all of the abbeys in england.
What you're thinking of would be the printers
No one in the sketch said he wrote The History of Fishes, just that he published it. Open your ears!
Having just failed a mechanics exam I side with Pepys here
Legitimately one of my all time favourite HH skits.
replied the quick witted diarist to the bumbling astronomer (lol)
Excellent, love Horrible Histories forever 💙
You’re not the only one
I love Jim as Pepys
"How many fish historians do you know?"
"One."
"Apart from the bloke who wrote the book."
He didn't write the book, they don't say he did - and on the front cover of the book he holds up it correctly says that it was written by Francis Willughby. Sorry!
He never said Pepys wrote the book, he said the guy who wrote the book was the only fish historian that Pepys knew.
@@punkwrestle Congratulations, you repeated what he said.
Elfsskeetit yes but the original comment is criticising the video for saying Pepys wrote it, but the video never says that
@@tomrowell1558 No, I believe he's criticizing the other commentors in the comment section.
" You're an idiot...write that down"
ROTFL
Thanks! One of the best so far!
I for one am quite curious about the history of fishes
Oh poor Halley 😂
I don't know - looks like he and Newton got the last laugh this time!
And thus... Twitter was born.
The due in the black wig looks like Alan Doyle.
The oldest science society is the Leopoldina in Germany. Founded in 1610.
I would like to read that fishy book
This is the same society that financed the voyages of Captain James Cook.
You’re right
Someone here needs to learn how to spell “society.”
me seeing this writing a report on the history of fishes
Give me that book!!!! .. about the fishes .. xD
I wonder why Pepys hung around with the Royal Society anyway.
The history of fishes
Your lying if you say you didn’t have a crush on like half the cast especially Matt even when they’re wearing crazy looking wigs
"Da Hiztoree of Fishiezz..."
Matt with gray hair…
It brings out his eyes so nicely.
Squids aren't fish. They're cephalopods!
2:37 funny as hell
Damn Matt looks so hot with that grey hair :D
He can literally pull off anything 😍😂
Me: so yeah
Mrs Sw****: reapeat it please didn’t understand
Told her ‘bout book of fishes 😂😅
You spelled 'Society' wrong!
"Discovered" gravity?
So, Pepys is pronounced Peeps? Unless I'm deafer than I knew
Apparently so. This isn't the only program where I've heard it said that way. As an American I must admit I have no clue how that makes sense. But apparently a lot of UK names of places and people are pronounced very differently than how they are spelled.
pepys is literally just elder pressley wearing a wig they act and sound so similar
cool
And how many fish historian do you know?
I think this video is unfair to Pepys, who definitely was not an idiot!
A fan of De Historia Piscium, I take it?

Do they really say fishes in England?
It's for speaking of more than one species of fish.
Is "sleeping with the fishes" really a proverb?
There are many fish in a one-species school, but the ocean has many different fishes to see, not all of which form schools.
Ok so what would 50 British pounds be in Newtons time and then adjusted in todays era?
That would be approximately £5,258.75 give or take.
@@princessmoonwalker so about $7k? What a price tag to publish a paper
Socitey
It's daft to say Newton discovered gravity. The earliest amphibian discovered gravity when it crawled onto land. Rather, he discovered the laws of gravity. Still hilarious the Society's budget was blown by a single member.
He'd agree with you.
He didn’t discover it, he was just the first human to work out how it works.
*society
So basically, capitalism almost halted modern science? Sounds about right
