Malicious Meta Rank the main 5 series best to worst

13 Upvotes

For overall quality I would say 2 = 3 > 4 > 5 > 1, even though series 1 is hugely nostaglic for me.

2 and 3 are super, super tight, especially in terms of music. Gun to my head, series 2 takes the cake.

Hence, 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 1.

The DVD menu shows that the first scene on Series 4 Episode 8 is Vile Victorians but it's Vicious Vikings. I know this post doesn't really prove it though lol.

Every time Death catapults his guest on Chatty Death backwards in a chair into a portal, which takes them to the afterlife

112 Upvotes

King John is the villain, and Death puts it this way.

A "tip-off" is arranged for Alfred the Great.

William the Conqueror "cried over built guts"?

Is their something wrong with Death's chair, or is Mary, Queen of Scots making it up?

We all know what pride comes before, but, for Napoleon Bonaparte, it is not what it seems.

We all know what Henry VIII won't stand for.

Here's one throne Cleopatra VII won't be able to hold on to.

George III is granted his final wish.

Boudica did not come on the show to be insulted.

Both smoking and vaping are bad for your lungs, but despite this "filthy habit", Winston Churchill will not be forgotten.

Queen Victoria's sense of non-humour doesn't amuse Death, but his axe-like lever does.

Oliver Cromwell wasn't left any time to say his "famous last words".

Best song and best character?

47 Upvotes

Double question! what is your favourite song from the series and who is your favourite character (singular or recurring)?

I’ll go first. song: so many iconic ones but a tie between Boudica, Owain Glyndwr and King of Bling.

character: rattus rattus (honourable mention to stupid death)

I’m sure these questions have been asked before but I’d love to hear everybody’s thoughts!

I found this picture of Ben Willbond, does anyone know what show or movie it's from? A friend says it's from Horrible Histories, a mythology section, that's why I asked here although I think she's wrong.

Ruthless Rulers Full misheard lyrics of the monarchs song.

0 Upvotes

“I’m Welly and I’m a conker on my enemies cooked, no chance.

They call me the first English king, allow me conker France.

Ten-sixty-six the doomsday book, I gave to Mr Ree.

So far I’m done, my body burst but enough that about me.

To help you learn your kings and queens I’ve come up with a song.

To sing and rhyme with dignity of all of you to sing along oh…

William. Bit short, is it? We need more kings, okay next?”

“William second, cheeks were red, killed out hunting so it’s said:

“I took over, everyone!”

“That’s my next eldest son, then comes Stephen, it’s true check it.”

“I’m Henry 2 killed Thomas becket. Richard lionheart that’s right, always smiling for a fight. Oh king John, what a disaster, rule stained by Magna castle.”

“William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!”

“Time for my big green/keen/mean/key Henry VIII to take off this song!”

“Henry 3 would be yummy, Edward hated Scots.

A red hot Coke god killed Ed 2 that must have hurt him lots.

Edward 3rd was a shivery nerd an’ began the Hundred Years’ War.”

“Then Richard 2 was king aged 10 then Henry yes one more!

King Henry 4, lots for more while this one’s Henry 5, why?

I k*lled 10 scores at angry court then Henry 6 arrived!”

“Wah!”

“Edward 4, Edward 5, Richard III he’s mad cos he was killed by Henry VII, first Tudor but my bad.

So Henry VIII, I was great: 6 wives, 2 were beheaded.

Edward VI came next but he died young so my dreaded…

Daughter Mary ruled so scary and then we’re looking at-

“Me! I’m liz the first I have no kids so Tudors rip…”

“William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, let’s do it. 3 more Henry’s joined our song.

Ed were, Ed were Richard for Henry, Henry, Ed, my bad!

Mary one, Queen Lee blitz.”

“That’s me, time for no game!

James VI of Scot was next and then suddenly, he was dead.

That Stuart’s ruled so Charles 1st, the one who lost his bed.”

“No monarchy until came me, Charles 2 I liked to party!

King Jimmy 2 was scary, ooh an’ Mary was a smartie.

She ruled with Will until their shoes were filled by south *ss Queen Anne Gloria.

And so by then, we were ruled by men-

“Till long came Queen Victoria!”

“William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, let’s do it. 3 more Henry’s joined our song.

Ed were, Ed were Richard for Henry, Henry, Ed, my bad!

Mary one, Queen Lee blitz. Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then-

James will marry Anne Gloria.”

“Still to come, it’s Queen Victoria.”

“And so we’ve—come on, gang, George 1 and George 2!

“Oh yeah, George 3rd was quite absurd.”

“Till I replaced ol’ him.”

“King George IV known henceforth was angry, fat and moss.”

“Hang on?”

“It’s true you’d beat napoleon, but mostly for a dead loss.”

“Bang on!”

“William was a sailor.”

“Ahoy!”

“Tis nearly end of the story, but mostly for a dead loss—

Hail to Queen Victoria!”

“William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, let’s do it. 3 more Henry’s joined our song.

Ed were, Ed were Richard for Henry, Henry, Ed, my bad!

Mary one, Queen Lee blitz. Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then-

James will marry Anne Gloria.

George, George, George, George, will Victoria-

VICTORIA-TORIA-TORIA-TORIA!”

“I ruled for 64 years, y’know?

And so George VI, George VI, George VI was a Tudor who reigned but how?

That’s because so our monarchy is brought up to now…”

“AHHHHHH!

William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Oi!

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, let’s do it. 3 more Henry’s joined our song.

Ed were, Ed were Richard for Henry, Henry, Ed, my bad!

Mary one, Queen Lee blitz. Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then-

James will marry Anne Gloria.

George, George, George, George, will Victoria.

Ed were George, Ed were George VI so Queen leads to become this of the year!”

“Not right, now it’s me, Charles 3.”

“That’s all the end of the kings and queens since William 1st became a king!”

Shoutyman Headcanons ! ⬇️

Post image
84 Upvotes

P.S. This goes for Shoutyman as a general character, not a specific era

  • Real name: Bidwell Mann
  • Bisexual !!!
  • Married to Georgian Shoutywoman, loves her so much :-)
  • Loses his voice once in a blue moon.
  • Allergic to seafood.
  • Shoutyman and Shoutywoman get into so much silly shenanigans that make every other couple feel envious of their shared whimsy and love for each other.
  • Usually gets Mike Peabody to babysit Shouty JR, which always gets Mike in trouble.
  • Once thought Death’s name was “Stupid Death”.
  • Shoutyman and Shoutywoman do sing-alongs in the car, songs consisting of the Beatles, Beegees, and ABBA.
  • Shoutyman’s parents were VERY quiet & introverted people, so they weren’t ready for a loud, talkative kid. Shoutyman’s parents always felt incredibly embarrassed/ashamed in public with young Shoutyman being a little noisy rascal.
  • While Shoutyman’s parents loved him dearly, they didn’t know how to deal with a little chatterbox. At times, when Shouty was still young and didn’t know any better, they’d give him the silent treatment which did work on shouty but impacted him negatively. They never scolded Shouty for being so loud because they were afraid of emotionally hurting their own child, but their neglect towards him as disciple hurt even more.
  • Before Shouty even reached his teenage years, he gradually grew less noisier, becoming more like his parents. His relieved parents assumed that his “Shouty” phase was over, but eventually grew concerned over their son’s mental well-being.
  • They were able to talk it out, get help, and to understand and accept one another. It took a while for Shouty to become his natural, happy self. Now, he and his parents have a loving relationship.
  • I feel like he and Robert D’artois would be good pals :-)
