Maybe that's why her car of choice was a land rover defender, most modern cars need a laptop and a degree in computer engineering to set it right again, an LR defender can be fixed with just some baling wire and a hammer.
Mark Kazakos--I could watch Horrible Histories all day--especially Stupid Deaths. Not since Fawlty Towers first aired have I laughed so much. These guys are BRILLIANT.
The British should not be insulted, as the people who made this were British. Queen Elizabeth II is a veteran of World War II and did serve as a mechanic during that war, which is just another reason for the British to be proud of her.
How about you go watch the CGPGrey video on the royal family's allowance. You'll see that they actually allow the British government to take in most of the income off of their land so, in a sense, the people don't pay the royal family a dime. The royal family subsidizes the general public to the tune of more than 2 pounds per person per year.
Alex-Zander Browne--They aren't satirizing ANY repair service. Princess Elizabeth, as she was during WW II, was a subaltern to "do her bit" for the war effort. Much was made of her ability to change a tire and one of the biographies quotes the Queen Mother as saying (with disgust) that Elizabeth was chattering away all during dinner about her day in the mechanic's pit. "We had sparking plugs all through dinner" is how the biography phrased it. Mention was even made by Helen Murrin playing ER II in "The Queen", where she, upon dealing with the immediate aftermath of Diana's death, drives through a rivulet and breaks the axle of her vehicle. She calls for help and is asked if she's sure about the axle--and gives the person on the other end the "what-for" about her "military service". In fact, ER II's many military ranks are purely ceremonial ones and her subaltern status during WW II was hyped for the morale of the nation. It's not as if she went to boot camp and then toted a rifle, or was assigned barnacle-chiseling in the Royal Navy.
Ok I know this comment is ancient history, but shut up. First off, this is history. Elizabeth II really did help the war effort by being both a mechanic and a driver in England. Though the extent is often exaggerated, usually by royalists trying to show the royal family contributed. Second, this is satire. Horrible Histories whole stick is that it’s history education in the style of a Monty Python sketch. That’s the point to insult and poke fun (honestly this isn’t even doing that, it’s just making light of Elizabeth’s history).
@@dylantennant6594 You're right, this comment is ancient history, I was a kid when I made it. I don't even remember making this comment or why I made it. So, for all I know, I was making a stupid joke somehow. So, why don't you shut up and just down vote a comment that's over nine-years old.
Dude this is history. Queen Elizabeth really did contribute by being a mechanic and driver during the war. The only thing this gets wrong was that at the time of this, Elizabeth II was considered to be heir apparent. One because the war effort took away from that, and with King George in relatively good health, their wasn’t a huge concern. The other reason being that Elizabeth becoming heir apparent was a very unusually thing as George (better known by his birth name Albert), was second in line, and only became King Edward abdicated the throne, so Elizabeth wasn’t initially set to become Queen and was not thinking about it during the war.
Mat's face when he's holding the tool is like "I'm telling these women to use a tool, but I'm not sure if I can use one myself..." Priceless XD
The queen still has some of the skills from when she was a mechanic in WW2 and will occasionally mend her car if it breaks down.
Maybe that's why her car of choice was a land rover defender, most modern cars need a laptop and a degree in computer engineering to set it right again, an LR defender can be fixed with just some baling wire and a hammer.
Yeah. She was a smart old woman. Hopefully her successor King Charles will be just as smart.

From what's transpired recently: No.
@@glasscardproductions4736How so?
I wonder if the Queen has actually seen this?

One MercilessMing I love Horrible Histories and Fawlty Towers too
I guess we may never know.
Most likely.
Probably the only sketch they made based on some one alive at the time
No Buzz Aldrin appeared in a sketch.
@@fadikhoory5350 Ok so the only other sketch then; unless we’re both missing someone
@@superninja493well kind of logic

@@jmurray1110🤦🏻♂️
RIP Queen Elizabeth the second
I can’t imagine how much fun they had filming this
Hang on a minute, I could have sworn I saw a similar ad years ago in the 80's...
Was it "You can't get quicker than a quick-fit fitter"?
Yes indeed!
Haha. I wasn't born in the 80s but i remember that ad from when i was like 5.
because it's a parody
its funny since elizabeth 2 only appears (or be mentioned) in 2 songs, this song and the monarch song
Rip
RIP liz ❤️
Who else is watching this now future Queen Liz 2 is past Queen Liz 2?

LATE Queen Liz 2.
I would love to know what the Queen thinks of this, bet she likes it! ^.^
She says one because she's modest!

Y e s

Deleted scene from "The Crown"
RIP Queen Elizabeth II

A response debunking that video was made by Shaun called "Abolish the Monarchy! A response to CGP Grey"
i love the layered comedy.
The quickest horrible history skit
... That's really awesome.
Thats why I keep watching this
I bet having one of the royal family doing that sort of work must have been something all sorts of wartime posters were talking about in England.
Mat's face is so cute. *.*
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
fuckingl
Rip Queen Elizabeth ii
The queen is the best
My fav horrible histories song
This was clearly made for the parents as nobody born after the 1980s would understand what this was mocking.
I forgot about this gag
shit mat is so cute
Don;t worry my lad this won't let you down.
How do you know.
The future Queen worked on it.
Ha the enemy will surrender at my mere approach.
Wonder what will happened if the queen sees this???...
dont know probaly mad or crazzy
Don’t got to worry about that now do we.
A horrible histories skit about a living legend....
It is all right
this should have been on tv back in the 2nd world war
@William Jones yeah but if there was this would for sure be an add
I don't know why, but Matt reminds me of Alfie Moon off of Eastenders on this video. Aha
...............
Okay, what auto repair service are they satirizing in this skit and what commercial are they basing this get off of?
Quick-fit

@@onemercilessming1342 that's true yes, but this jingle is a parody of the Kwik-Fit commercial...
