Can you imagine these two awesome actors recording this scene, perfectly hearing each other's words and yet acting deaf? Man, l would be rolling on the floor and laughing hysterically in two seconds!
OK, but seriously. This is brilliantly acted, and the lines are brilliant too. Although they're both deaf, they never repeat information too much so that it gets repetitive and predictable for us viewers, but feed us enough information so we can perfectly understand both their situations and what's happened to them. What's more, it also flows together as a convincing conversation between 2 deaf people who haven't realised that the other's deaf! Beyond the scientific accuracy, I think we should really recognise this scene for the genius piece of writing and sketch that it is!
As a Deaf person, this is absolutely accurate. I can read Mat's character's thoughts when he responded to "Come again?" with "For writing a book the government didn't like" because damn is it familiar "No idea what he said, it looked like a question. What would be a logical question to what I just said? Ah yes, why did my ear get cut off"
I fkin love this SO much 🤣🤣🤣 who cares how accurate, biology wise, it is! Sooo funny. Reminds me of talking to my great nan who was deaf and refused to wear her hearing aid 🥰😂
i like how people post serious comments about how the ear works, just laugh at the dam video, its meant for be humorous.. do you watch monty python and shout scientific things at the television? XDDDDDDD
His opponents did that in new England while using his actions as propaganda at home. Then, they orchestrated political killings of two of Charles's advisors. Their outrage was disingenuous at best, but the sketch is funny!
wouldn't people who had suffered this specific punishment have had someone to speak for them or used sign language or used something to write what they wanted to say down on? Also, I really hope this counts for year 8 C-level revision too cuz I haven't got a long enough life span to use the proper websites and read through them all
Sign language wasn’t invented yet. French Sign Language wasn’t invented until the late 18th century, about 100 years later. Your best chance after becoming HOH would be to do like Beethoven and learn how to read lips.
@Daniel Weiner But if you had your ears cut off doesn't mean you are deaf, you still have the inner ear and tympanic membrane so you'd still be able to hear. The outer ear just reflects sounds into your ear, it serves no purpose in the actual hearing.
Actually you wouldn’t go deaf if you had your ears cut off. Unless the punishment also included searing or otherwise damaging your eardrums you would still hear it’s just things would be quieter since you don’t have the funnel for the sound to go into.

This show taught me more history than school did
This will forever be my favourite sketch from horrible histories
😂

this is probably how old people communicate...
Fantastic piece of acting this!!
God, I love this show. How I wish it could have gone on forever.

+Alice Lucy if you remember it
like you remember watching episodes 17 and 20 of hetalia when learning about how america started and had the revolution
That is why I'm here! my teacher told me this was revision lol
Alice Lucy I fucken hope so 😂😂

@@TheOldBlackShuckyDog exactly x it does xxx
I get the feeling they're making this up as they go!
It's like an oblivion npc conversation
This is the 1 video that lives rent free in my head at all times
XD oh gosh... I am actually a bit embarrassed for finding such childish jokes so darn funny. But I love it!!! I almost choked from laughing XD
Love that! Very funny and excellent acting.
I fkin love this SO much 🤣🤣🤣 who cares how accurate, biology wise, it is! Sooo funny. Reminds me of talking to my great nan who was deaf and refused to wear her hearing aid 🥰😂
And thus, people were forced to come up with sign language.
this is 100% accuRAT ;) just learnt it in school
Lawry's so cute in this sketch🥺
i like how people post serious comments about how the ear works, just laugh at the dam video, its meant for be humorous.. do you watch monty python and shout scientific things at the television? XDDDDDDD
the difference is this advertises itself as very factually accurate. monty python does not
Yes, yes I do.
@@timothyheimbach3260 Oh, intercourse the television
Anyone after clubbing/ a rock concert
If u had ur ears cut off wouldnt u still be able to hear because all the important stuff is inside. The outer ear just directs the sound waves
You seriously taking this serious??
Lololol....he starts to talk to the ear
Probably my favorite video on the internet. #shameless
@xNizzehh I meant the script - they look like they've been given the facts and then left to come up with their own dialogue!
If we ignore that we get a fantastic HH skit though :D

Hilarious!!!!!!!
This show should of received a knighthood
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Should of?
Seriously?
Someone knows the chapter and the season?
It's so funny!
IT'S WEIRD HAVING NO EARS!
Don't tell that to seals, you'll upset them. :)
please continue to kill me with your wit
This conversation is going nowhere 😂😅 1:01
Why did the laugh when saying that.

Joel Campbell I doubt anyone would give a shit to give them accommodations.
Under no circumstances would they have had any of that.

earear
Pardon?
Bruh im here from school learning bout medieval punishments
Series? Episode?
Horrible histories
Is this for real ? They cut people’s ears ?

Can you hear me now? It's not good talking to him he's as deaf as a post.. Jajajajaja
What?
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn’t go deaf, but your outer pinna (the outside part) collects sound so it’d be harder to hear.
Remember, this is a children’s show.
lol
This is probably their worst one by far, but I guess that just humanizes them, everyone makes blunders, not all jokes are hits
It's actually one of my favourites ☹️ To each their own...
this terrible
This is so stupid
