HORRIBLE HISTORIES - Roman Toilets

[Simsker]

I was fine until the sponge part ;_____;

[renjilovesmoi]

That man is thinking white people are crazy

[CRobertGray]

I bet at the end of the day that bucket of water looked like black coffee. And another thing aint no way in the world I as a Man will sit on the toilet next to a dude named Sextus let alone sit in a room I said A ROOM with no stalls talking while I'm taking a Dookey, And Thank Goodness for people like Seth Wheeler and Mr Whipple because I don't know how well I'd take it knowing some other man's dookey on the sponge that's going in my rear. I'm Glad I'm living in these days and not back then.

[Bayntonette49]

Wow. Sextus?

[6045310708]

@Bayntonette49 as in "six"

[thePaschalCandle]

@Bayntonette49 Sex is the Latin for six. Sextus means the sixth, or something like that!

[thefuturemrskaiba]

I could NEVER take a crap in Rome!

[johnson1095]

@thefuturemrskaiba

then don't go to Europe because they have public showers where they all shower together

if you think peeing is bad, try being naked

[deathbringer116]

[themegannn89]

[3636Clarence]

InnannaRainbow1. Yes the really did share the same sponge. There were child slaves to keep them clean..if that were possible

[hensien31]

Lmfao!!!!!!!!!!

[suzannesadiiqa]

If the loos were posh marble like the ones at Ephesus you sent a slave on before you to warm up the seat! Sounds good to me........

[telamon2011]

You know, up until the middle twentieth century, people must have fucking stunk!

[goosemaster720]

[LeoB2010]

Yeh they did share but they had a little slave child to clean in-between (fact)!!! By the way the women in this sketch has been in quite a few things and is actually very PHIT (also fact)!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuckyIzzy659]

Back then, did they really share the sponge?

[PrincessRiniTsukino]

@LuckyIzzy659 Yes, but they put the sponge into the bucket of water after one person finished using it.

[LuckyIzzy659]

@PrincessRiniTsukino Well thats disgusting. Its not sanitized.

[mccomerrox101]

[Revexey]

@1tois for ur informatin gentleman, the debts of America is more than 12 bilions, the income is only 2 bilions most of it spent, with the high crime statictics the fall will be harmful.

[Revexey]

@1tois Aamerica is already at stake, empire or not, the end is counted.

[CartoonOperatics93]

@Revexey Yeah, if America does not come to its senses and give up its vices soon.

[theelementofweird]

so uh, scarred is a word i think i'll use right now

[JigsawWomenXx]

beautiful.

[Revexey]

America will end like the roman empire.

[1tjos]

@Revexey America doesn't have an Empire and with the amount of firepower each country has no one would be stupid enough to risk it.

[johnson1095]

@Revexey

and what country will go in the place of central north america?

why are you even talking about the US anyway???

This isn't even a video ABOUT the US in the first place!!

or do you just want to spew your hatefull filth to anyone who will listen?

we already survived ONE civil war over slavery and i doubt there will be another one

where do you live BTW?

[Revexey]

@johnson1095

a connection between roman empire & USA, forcing people on their culture, slavery,killing peaceful landowners "indian, around 150 mil! ",Oax extinction , waging most of the wars, portending to be calling for freedom religion and they refuse to build an islamic center , which means the title of free worship is gone, freedom of speech, gone! Respect of people,gone! Human rights is not even there to rescue children from the hands of jew, and u dare ask why i hate USA??

[Revexey]

@johnson1095

another war slavery? there's no such a thing! the black innocent people in the indian lands u stole has defeated u barehanded!

why r u people so selfish?!!!!!!!!

[Revexey]

@johnson1095

ur USA honor is gone since America was born !

[Jimbogf]

@Revexey If that is so, It will be a slow and drawn out process. The economy and our freedoms will slowly erode away over several centuries, so for our lifetimes we don't have much to worry about! We will remain the super power with all it's perks for a while. Rome wasn't built in a day - and it didn't fall in a day either. :P

[MultiBelle22]

The Romans invented several things - you'd think they'd have invented toilet roll!

[planetmuvee427]

Sextus?

[blondemario]

@planetmuvee427 Lavatorium?

[MultiBelle22]

Ah; so this is what people mean by British toilet humour!

[MultiBelle22]

How come the Romans had no qualms about all going to the toilet togethe rbut they were horrified that the Greeks sometimes walked from the baths to the gym naked?

[johnkerry7]

@MultiBelle22 because, the romans had a sense of decency :P

[MultiBelle22]

@johnkerry7 No, I'm just saying if they could cope with doing toilets together why did they get put off by the Greeks nudity? I mean, surely they saw some themselves if men and women went to the toilets - and baths - together?

[johnkerry7]

@MultiBelle22 sorry i was being sarcastic lol. Yeah i agree with what you are saying.

[sinoples]

Bdggggggggggggggggg !

[Boleyn96019]

i dont know if u've guys seen Cleopatra 1999 but the guy Marcus looks like the person who plays Octavian... walks like him too

[SomeBigGay]

[BumbleGrease2011]

[Petrhrabal]

[welboo200]

[Sandra3594]

[Gamer9716]

[3822218]

Bahahahahahaaaaa, & who says that Romans or Greeks knew something called toilets or bathrooms before the Islamic civilization XD ?

[Miauriceful]

@3822218

Islamic civilization is an oxymoron

[3822218]

@Miauriceful

Islamic civilization is oxymoron & Aristotle, Plato, Socrates are imaginary characters...XD

[GeishaShattori]

I am so, so glad I did not live back then.

[NaVeAndrew]

[LUGNUT1995]

i love this scetch

[banndell]

yes you can see one in roman ruins in libya

[Southenisland]

I heard that they sold sticks at the entrance though, so you didn't have to share the stick with others.

I still worship the man who invented toilet paper, though.

[thepredatorpl]

multi-culti bullshit, a nigger cousin with a white guy. :D:D

[0lliedodge]

This scetch cracks me up,Hilarious while at the same time informative.It's a pity my History lessons weren't as good.I spent most of them doodling in the margins of my exercise book I was that bored.

[charliz365]

how can a woman farting remind him of his wifes cooking? XD!

[Southenisland]

@charliz365 Maybe it destroys his bowels just as much XD~

[charliz365]

Awesomely and disgustingly hilarious

Great quality too

Love horrible histories

[TheGhostOperative]

communal toilets? really? damn i couldnt even use public toilets. i'd rather constipate and die if i ever was in ancient rome. lol mayb i did.

[jualkyn]

OMG did they all SHARE that sponge on the stick? WTF this is unbelievable shit. infection and disease would be rampant.

[Misscrazyangel1]

@jualkyn its history 4 god fucking sake. they didnt know much back then. just count your self lucky you dont have to share a sponge on a stick.

[jualkyn]

@Misscrazyangel1 you need to chill. And as for the same stick usage. I don't know why they couldn't just bring their own individual ones at least.

[00G000]

@jualkyn yeah,that´s what I have read too.In most public restrooms was a gutter installed,running in front of the seats,that carried a constant flow of water in witch the sponge was washed,only problem was that the water must have been quite dirty at the end of the line...

[TheGhostOperative]

@Misscrazyangel1 really? i thought they shared the sponge....that'd be real shitty.....pun intended.

[KevlarNinja]

I would probley have died of holding it in too long In Ancient Rome. I like my bathroom privicey.

[jualkyn]

@KevlarNinja lol but you wouldn't have. we are conditioned beings. you would be used to going "all together" all your life, you would have been able to go. but yea that is fken nasty, seeing someone shitting right next to you and you can smell, see and hear it eww.

[coolme158]

"We all go together." This would be one solution for the women's restroom that's for sure. xD

[dindolo]

GREAT !!!

[KevlarNinja]

The sponge on a stick is not only real, but one Gladator killed himself by shoveing one of them down his throat!

[JeAmourTo]

@KevlarNinja You again!! Haha lol!

[Yaminia1]

if i remember this might be greeks but i think earwax was also a cure

[DragonFly122]

1:30 I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

[DragonFly122]

[scorpionimph]

OMG! lol. Wouldn't want to have lived back then.

[ELcapalla2]

Hehe, but what's so funny about Sextus? It's a common Roman name.

[shirley34]

That was sooo hilarious, couldn't stop laughing at their farting, :) lol I've never seen this sketch b4

[Appleangel1]

this must be so EMBARASSING to act out!

[urmo345]

Roman soldiers did just used a cloth and soaked it in vinegar...

[roxymitchell99]

nice name sexdus lolllll thumbs up if you agree

[lma63]

I'm 47 and this made me laugh out loud, I never could resist a fart joke! And I am rather partial to Matthew Baynton, even though I could almost be his mother! Well I suppose I could be really, but I would have been very young!

[12PixieDust]

DID U ALL KNOW THE BLOKE TALKING TO MARCUS JIM HOWICK ACTUALLY DOES A POO !!!!!!!!! AT 0:42.

[nikki1988ish]

ONG never thought id see matt baynton on the toilet XD

[yunis500]

WTF?!

[schweitzer006325]

The author of the HH series is actually here in this sketch; Terry Deary's the Roman sitting next to the woman.

[xRockaJoJox]

@laurissy yep it is possible if the black guys parents are interracial

[gurrflapoo]

Lol The acting is impecable!

[TachieBillano]

LOL. A few icky questions suddenly come to mind. Like:

1.) Did they share the sponge and bucket of water?

2.) If both men and women used the same lavatory, did some of them ever meet their future husband or wife in there?

3.) Was this the reason why country bumpkins of that age would be told that "when in Rome, do as the Romans do?"

4.) The meat-loving English noblemen of Tudor times also had these communal toilets, didn't they? Or were they more for the cabbage-eating peasantry?

[cyclepod1]

@TachieBillano - in the Horrible Histories book it said that they did share the sponge stick:-)

Also in the Horrible Histories book they said that the father chose his daughter's husband.

I find it hard to imagine that these loos were mixed. If that is the case, when did thing change.

Had a good laugh at the video and got a stitch.

[laurissy]

hey is it possible for a white person and black person to be cousins cuz marcus says sextus is his cousin is that possible

[Deader87]

GROSS!!!

[muderousmatt]

sexdus lol wat a great name

[wicNKWD37]

@muderousmatt its a joke name like naughtius maximus or biggus dickus.
