15 years old .this was on the telly. We had been taking magic mushrooms .best laugh I've ever had in my life , we pissed ourselves with laughter and everyone the next day at school was going ... see that ? and our guts were sore with laughing . Comedy gold.

Tee Hee good one

"I was reading an interesting piece the other day" "No you weren't. You can't read. And you can't afford a book"

This sketch almost got me expelled from School when it was originally on TV, we laughed so hard I actually cried in class!

An absolute and glorious example of British comedy....always ahead of it's time.

"You know men who put fruit up each others bottoms?" "Yes!" "Oh you do? You know them! Theyre your friends, you've said it you can't take it back now!" "I didn't mean i know them" "Well thats what you said!" XD

"Quack quack quack quack.....muh muh muh muh.....your best work I feel" LOL

I loved this part of the show. I still do it now. My mam will say oh look at that shoe just lying in the road. I will say, thats one half of your brand new pair of Louboutins, that is.

I actually cried just now watching this. I thought it wouldn't have stood the test of time, but it seems it has.

This isn't the first History Today sketch. The first one appears on 'Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting' tape and was used in series 1. This isn't it

Ahhh, so many memories :)

Great sketch! But the first History Today was actually a discussion on 'The Austerity Years 1939-1945'

Hello Stimpy404, how are You doing Man...? Yeah. To answer your question, as far as I can understand both of the guys wanted first billing, they wanted their names first, Newman and Biddiel, Biddiel and Newman, Rob Newman wanted his name first because he believed he was the intellectual comedian behind the pair. He was the driving force, As the rift deepend between the 2 this sketch became more and more cruel until they were just ripping the piss out of each other. They wrote their own lines..

See that pile of cack over there? That's your favourite dinner that is!!

Hello Alex!

Nah, this is from Newman and Baddiel in Pieces, episode 1. So it isn't the first History Today (which was from The Mary Whitehouse Experience)

They used to crack up all the time. They'd often manage to cover it up, but once or twice you can see them struggling to keep a straight face.

Holy shit this upload's ten years old. I feel accordingly ancient now.

Quality. As funny as this style of comedy gets. I love this creation; they're bloody brilliant, and never dropped in standard, they knew when enough was enough, and the same sense of economy of wit, sharpened but in a knowingly childish way, kept them fucking awesome in the early 90's. I'd love to see them reform for writing new material. Like Zep at the o2 for me that is. ;)

small nitpick - something in my head says this wasn't the first of the sketches. But still devastatingly hilarious, I feel.

@Pamultimate Bit cerebral for you?

what's to dislike? pratts

Trump v Biden?

He's a hippie now. Shows powered by bicycle generator and that. Do a search for History Of Oil if you'd like to see. Better than David Baddiel, at any rate.

Some wet blanket has blocked this from being shared. Get a sense of humour or go and look at something else. how sad.

Amazing that these two stopped working together...neither has done anything half as funny since.

No that's Vic Reeves. There's plenty of evidence, Newman was capable of subtlely nuanced impersonations like his art-teacher guy. You sound like you're not really familiar with his material. You are right about Baddiel though, having some witty and clever moments. They certainly were moments. Maybe one an hour. Baddiel was never funny, just a twat with a wobbly voice like Ian Hislop. Bet you think he's great too.
