I know I have a biased POV when it comes to Brits, but I have to say that I find them to be particularly articulate and witty. Even when drunk and starring in a parody, this guy's historically accurate ^_^ It just further validates my attraction for this culture!
That's an example of why I tend to prefer the US version. The US presenters unselfconsciously ramble but the Brits, despite drinking enough alcohol to render me comatose, still feel a need to maintain control and be clever. Most of the time they are trying to deliver the same lines they would if they were sober.
Patrick Fealy I’m actually stoked to read people fighting on the internet over shit that was significant. Time elapsed, shouldn’t take away from the gravity of killing.
Valnerei You guys are so young. The original show on funny or die (website) before it was picked up by Comedy Central did say exactly what they drank. It got taken away when it went on tv. So that IS an American thing. Sorry SUCKERSSSSSS.

“However Sir Walter Raleigh refuses to acknowledge this. And he returns time and time again with sombreros, Catholic tap, and fake David Beckham shirts.” I AM DECEASED.🤣🤣🤣
I am completely distracted by that stupendous couch the narrator is sitting on. It's gold, but the shadows on it are a beautiful aqua. Gorgeous. Excellent episode, btw.
Now all I hear, whilst watching this, is Jack Whitehall's father, saying something like "My God, they must be really desperate, to have offered you the silent part of Walter Raleigh."
My history museum has a statue of a wolf dressed as Sir Walter Raleigh(I live in North Carolina) with a caption reading: "Sir Wolfter Raleigh". That person is a genius.
Hey guess what? I love Drunk History America, I love Drunk History England. Both are awesome, both are funny. I shall not engage in demagoguery, so fuck the haters. However, Drunk History Antarctica pretty much leaves me cold.

Would just like to say a big thank you to jack and drunk history for getting me through my history gcse where I got a question about Elizabethan voyages and explorers. Big help, cheers mate😂
3:25 The truly interesting thing about 'Sir Walter & Tobacco' is that, in fact, he was smoking marijuana with the Indians; and marijuana has nicotine in it, so you become addicted to the nicotine; and, when you (an Indian) go off hunting, you don't want to be smoking marijuana, but you don't want to be withdrawing from nicotine so ... you smoke tobacco; so ... when Raleigh was leaving to go back to England, he said to the Indians, "I am going on a long journey, can I have some of that to take with me?"; the Indians, thinking he was going on a long journey and therefore did not want to withdraw from nicotine, gave him ... tobacco. What he really wanted to take back was marijuana!! England would be a very different place now if people had been drinking beer and smoking pot for all these last few centuries, now would it not ?.!}@..@{!.?
Pretty sure there’s little historical basis for Queen Elizabeth being in love with Raleigh, although it’s a popular depiction. Raleigh’s relationship with Elizabeth Throckmorton was actually very romantic: they were married in secret, which was the real transgression against the queen, who imprisoned them in the Tower of London for a number of years. In trying so hard to make this funny and dramatic they made it ahistorical, even though the truth is equally interesting
SJlovesgraal 2nd that. It's in downtown at the convention center. Right by Fayetteville street where all the bars are AKA perfect place to find someone who would want to appear on this show.
"Was it Jack the Ripper? No he wouldn't be around for another 300 years" lol

The irony when Sir Walter Raleigh is played by Jack Whitehall, and the real Sir Walter Raleigh was actually executed at Whitehall Palace in 1618 x)
chikitabowow and queen elizabeth is...? I know the real queen won’t act like that....
Alice Lu that’s the joke
good that's for the 600 Catholics he personaly murdered in Ireland.

The feud never stopped
"How dare he be BALLS DEEP in a lady I considered close to my bRRRReast? I FOR ONE AM FURIOUS." - Queen Elizabeth I
Isabel Erroa
LOL I almost died
My favorite line from Shakespeare
Isabel Erroa your cute
I completely lost it!! LOL
"I've got to do some exploring. See you later, virgin." Brilliant. How I needed that laugh today!
"Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be a fucking legend."
Brilliant.
0x01A5 whos matthew i didnt get that :/ ps: im neither from uk or us
Avis avitis avitum Prestum digitorum Matthew Kelly, he used to present stars in their eyes, which is like cosplay karaoke on TV
"He floats across the room" 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Floats across the room"
*cuts to him literally just not even moving his legs*
I died there.
"She goes up to her bedroom and...finds a carrot." XD
It is well know Queen Elizabeth could not afford dildos.
Darrin Scott Yes, she spent all her money on unicorn horns... which ended up being a narwhal tusk.
They don't have cucumber nor eggplant in rennaisance?
no not in England they dont really have eggplant
Alex Jettster 😂😂😂😂😂😂
i like how they told me exactly how much he drank. i wish they did that in the american version
2 bud lights probably
If they did, they would seem weak
They probably can’t due to prohibitions on promotion of alcohol on American TV shows.
Valnerei You guys are so young. The original show on funny or die (website) before it was picked up by Comedy Central did say exactly what they drank. It got taken away when it went on tv. So that IS an American thing. Sorry SUCKERSSSSSS.
Punkwrestle ding ding... when it was just a web show they did list the alcohol. American tv is wussy and censored.
I freaking love Jack Whitehall.
hes both hot and funny - the true lethal combo
N D agreed. he's just making his way across the bond due to the late late show w James Corden success. I like Freddy and Jamie as well. the whole "a league of their own" cast really
SAME GODDAMN
I hate him
@@GJocelyn218 hes gorgeous
To be fair, I think drunk history started in England as a pastime.
Katya Lastovkina You're not as funny as Americans are when you get drunk and tell history though.
Drunk history of drunk history.
Pepper Anne he's not as drunk as most are
Pardon Me It's that, darts and violence in your average pub
Edit Name I think the problem is that UK version is missing Derek Waters to get drunk with and the US version has better celebs casted doing the reenactments
"I, FOR ONE, AM FURIOUS". I will use this in the future.
Only an Englishman can get sloshed and actually be wittier than if he had been sober.
Ah. You've never met an Irishman.
That's debatable~ *Dwight K Shrute* US VERSION OF THE office. Lmfaooo
DrPeePeePooPoo Welcome to UA-cam comments, enjoy your visit
Aren't most people "wittier" when drinking?
And more stuffy
'Every course was potato based.' Sounds like lunch and dinner every day in Northern Ireland.
But this was before the ulster plantations. Walter raleigh planted the potato in munster at his estate.
My deam, every meal being meat & potatoes ❤
@@mysticfire473 meat? dont be silly.

@2:12 That is the butchest Jack Whitehall has ever looked.
"As a vagina..." heeheeheehee..I laughed far too much at that.
As a history teacher this finally makes me realise what my lessons have been missing...

"What goes on tour, stays on tour" HAHA!!😂
Walter Raleigh fucking up the smoke rotation. TO THE LEFT LET THE OTHER HOMIE HIT THAT SHIT!!!
only a stoner would notice haha
I was more concerned with why the native American looked like a mongolian
You'll have to fast forward a few hundred years to the introduction of blankets to the the Americas for the answer to that one
This guy is one of the best story teller I've seen on here.
"The queen slides off her fucking throne like it's varnish"
😂😆😅

okay,since when did weed have nicotine in it?
A nice completely made up story, cannabis has no nicotine in it.
"It is time for you to become Sir Walter Without-a-head Raleigh!"
Jack Whitehall looks adorable in this 😂
jack in period costume... hmmm
Later, Jack OUT of period costume.... MMMmmmm
Swoon! You can crash your ship upon my shores anytime you want, Sir Jack.
Ali Altizo mmmmmmmmm mmmmm
Ali Altizo oooh I agree
Yes i would love to see him in a middle ages humoristic tv series. I'm sold already hehe ;)
only if Queen Elizabeth looked like that
lol thats what i thought
Twat!
Queen Elizabeth II Not you, The First Elizabeth.
Cardinal De Richelieu Lmao 😂
Genevieve17 - she had quite a few alleged affairs; that with Robert Dudley being the most famous (if I recall correctly)
"How dare he be ballllllllls deep deep in someone so closse to my breeeasssssst!"
See now I want to see Jack in a serious heart throb role.
He's not drunk. Merely drinking.
@Wrath We?
@@Blindjager think by "we" they mean Brits. Idk though
"With his ruff on, with his puff on". oh my god
Brits handle their booz better, comparing this with the american version.
+Gal Peleg It's the mix of Scottish and Irish blood ;)
+Gal Peleg He was coherent and didn't leave the room to throw up or burp. I'm impressed with the brits.
+Gal Peleg much better on average!
They handle it without ice. Ewww...
they do handle it better, and it's not nearly as funny
Actually shot in Slough, hahaha I'm dead...
whos the woman that plays the queen i need to know for science reasons
pretty sure her name is michelle keegan, recently appeared in an Army drama called our girl
nathan huxtable thank you for contributing to my scientific investigation
I didn't think it was Michelle, but you are correct. It's her, damn she looks fit with red hair :P
PJ Duffield 😂
😂😂😂
"Dry as a rivita on a sunny morn" 🤣
if only he new that one day that potateos will rule the world
best part was 4:07 "ruff on, puff on" lol
"then she goes up to her bedroom and finds a carrot" I died
this is one of the most British things I've ever seen
A UK version of a TV show that's originally American? Is this Opposite Day?
c
Wait til you hear of "University Challenge".
a) This is great
b) We definitely hold our drink better in Britain.
c) Is that Michelle Keegan as Queen Liz?
It is Michelle, aye. Sarah Alexander plays her in another episode.
B4 freedomfighter You've obviously never drunk with sailors :P
Idk about holding your liquor better, i think its more of a pace yourself thing so yall know how drunk you are or can get.
Hannah Cruse British booze is stronger than American booze. So don't look at the quantity of booze consumed. Look at the levels of alcohol consumed.
I knew a British Drunk History would be funnier. 😂😂😂
"What is better than booze? I'll tell you what - facts, and crisps." what a quote.
The queen is played by Michelle Keegan for anyone else who felt movement in their underbritches while watching her.
Indeed, I was tumescent the moment she hit the scene!
Jack Whitehall is hilarious in this!😂😂
So IS everyone else but his facial expressions!
His lisp melts my heart! Lol I love it
The ride of the valkyries music was freaking hilarious when sir walter raleigh comes back to England 😂😂😂
Jack Whitehall, you rogue.
Anyone else notice Raleigh's what goes on tour stays on tour button?
Was it Jack the Ripper? No, he wouldn't be around for another 300 years!
Where it says ‘actually shot in Slough’
I chocked
'North Carolina, 1585*
*Actually shot in Slough 😂😂
Just remembered this when I saw his name when doing an AP history assignment. The video is WAY better compared to the "recommended" sites.
"Ruff on, puff on" gets me everytime😂
Binge-watching drunk history during quarantine is the best especially because I love to drink 🍺🍻🥂🍾🍷🥃🍸🍹
Didn't expect to walk into history today and watch this xD This was great! It actually made me enjoy my history lesson :)
"She goes up to her bedroom and finds a carrot" I'm dieing please help
I love this episode 😂
If I had 3.5 pints of larger and 5 double vodka lemonades i wouldn’t be telling a story I’d be on the floor absolutely incapacitated
i love jack whitehall so much
Best Drunk History ever!! We need more of Tom Narrating and Jack Acting..
Whitehall looks delightful
"Dry like Ryvita on a sunny morn", lol, truly excellent simile.

If I was him and I consumed that much alchohol I would be on the floor being distracted and being so giggly they can't even record me anymore.
This history paper is going to be great!
"Tonight, Mathew, I'm gonna be a FUCKING LEGEND."
We've all been there.
"How do I top this?"
"Going to war with ireland!"
the hand down his face after the hug! lol! The queen is so great!
couple of rizzlas in his back, lest he ever encounters a doobie
Old joke:
Call to a tobacco store.
Do you have Sir Walter Raleigh in a can?
Why, yes we do.
You do? Then, let the poor guy out!
brilliant! one of their best episodes
“Lest he ever encounter a doobie” 🤣🤣🤣
Uk do not play around ! They show off throw up so quickly 😂
0:35 after Jack's questionable gestures, I literally "👀" and now I finally understand the function of this emoji.

Next time. you pass it, say a little something from me to thank him for MY CRIPPLING CIGARETTE ADDICTION.....
Me too! And I’m a hamilton fan as well. Small world haha
All that this teaches me is that my history teacher should have been drunk when teaching in order for me to pay attention.
was that Jimmy Carr in the intro narration or was it Whitehall?
123Comrade It was Jimmy Carr
Thank you for this awesome presentation.
Even drunk the British accent just sounds more dignified. This is why I like the US version better, this just doesn't sound very drunk
Sounds like a personal problem
Honestly didn't know Comedy Central UK was a thing. TIME TO BINGE WATCH.
I love how they describe what happened like a novel, the american version doesn’t do that
The guy who prompts "James the First" from off screen is so delightfully English in his outrage. Top marks.
