  • This...is...awesome.

  • Ladies and gentlemen, the catholic church until the turn of the 20th century. Then they settled with excommunication, forbidding to vote or run for public office or attending university, removal of property rights, and publishing disgusting slander in official church and Vatican newspapers and pamphlets. Not counting inciting mobs and fostering hatred from the altars. Yes indeed, Catholics are SO persecuted.

  • Actually this sketch is very accurate, historically speaking, so, i'm a catholic but i disagree with the church on this one, this should not have been prohibited, so that we never let something like the inquisition to happen again.

  • the funny thing about the Spanish Inquistion, is today, it`s the atheist who believe ``covert or die``

  • @happycan107: Nope we don't. But that the catholics can't 'assasinate' us anymore, and resort to character assasination instead, is funny.

  • @happycan107 Name me one atheist who's said that. Name me one atheist who has killed someone for not being an atheist. Name me one slaughter that has been inspired by and led by an atheist, in the NAME of rejecting religion. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

  • wupps sorry guys it's spelled sevilla but you pronounce it like this sevia cus in espanol the double LL makes a "Y" sound and the I makes an "E" sound. so say it right people trust me I would know how to say it right because i'm mexicano. by the way the "X" makes a "H" sound in mexico.....so yea.

  • Silly Catholics, they should watch Monty Python or History of the World Part 1.

  • @thawhtet8

    they couldn't have done anything against them one is british and they wouldn't do anything and Brooks would have fought back if they made a stink

  • omg, forgot how much I *loved* Loud Kiddington. Hilarity.

  • "teaching children to reject Catholicism"???

    Why can't they just admit that they don't like their dirty laundry being aired for the world to see?

  • it's Sevia not Savil! These people think they know who to say it but they don't.

  • What I liked about this cartoon was that they told history as it was. We need more of this.

  • I probably remember more about history from Histeria episodes than school. Lol.

  • where can these epiisodes be downloaded

  • ohhhhhhh, this show was educational

  • @SBoeggild We got Adventure Time.

  • Anybody notice that Adam Sandler CD was in the wheel of torture.

  • "They're both such good options!"

  • best cartoon ever!!

  • Thirteen people are Torquemada fans.

  • batteries not invented lol

  • Btw, great episode and i liked it when they made fun of the Spanish Inquistion and plus that blonde woman in a shiny red dress with a southerner accent was really hot (I know it's just a cartoon, but still...). That said, this cartoon actually kicks more ass than I thought.

  • I've got to really hand it to 90's Warner Bros. cartoons. They can easily employ both the classic childhood-friendliness of the looney tunes and disney AND the relatively coarse and unsubtle no-holds barred adult/teen-like comedy of the simpsons and family guy at the same time to make us all laugh in insanity and smile in awesomeness of the characters and jokes/gags.

  • I always hated the characters in this show...

  • I can see why Catholics might be offended...it skims right over the part about even Catholic priests, monks and nuns would be accused. It was mostly an excuse for power by secular people...

  • @ThePastryNinja The Spanish Inquisition was still bad news either way.

  • Gotta love Rob Paulsen.

  • Did anyone catch the F-bomb Miss Informacion dropped?

  • imagine if they did sum thing on the catho;ic presits

  • Comment removed

  • very good

  • Adam Sandler CD xD! HAHA !

  • i actually learned stuff watching this when i was little

  • Catholicism is SOOOOO Benevolent and kind. Even kid's shows take notice! I'm surprised Histeria didn't do a segment called "Come into my confessional or You'll go to hell little boy"

  • @SBoeggild So true. What happened to smart kid's shows?

  • lol Adam Sanlder CD

  • i probably wouldnt have found this as funny as when i was a kid

    but its hilarious now that ive learned this stuff in school

    "The game where we expose enemies of the church, based on practically no evidence!"

    lol so true

  • LOL, Adam Sandler CD

  • lol wtf!

  • battery not invented lol

  • Was this back when American animated media had a spine? And a brain? And a worthwhile existence?

  • @DarkAdonisVyers And when they didn't mind making puns and jokes that would go over some viewers heads so that the show didn't appeal to only one age group.

  • @SBoeggild Then we must defeat the Moral Guardians and Media Watchdogs.

  • When I first saw this on TV , I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

  • @ImJust1Joe, NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!

  • @ImJust1Joe

    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

  • @ImJust1Joe

    (door bursts down) NO-BODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! 

  • @ImJust1Joe no one expects the Spanish Inquisition

  • @ImJust1Joe no body the Spanish Inquisition!

  • adam sandler cd? LMFAO

  • 3:59 - ''fuck you''

  • @yippeee4 ::does the crapo the magician face::

  • Heh, Adam Sandler's CD was one of the tortures.

    Too bad there's no more quality shows like this one.

  • man i miss this show

  • ok, let start with people who does no kn ow history are doomed to repeated, is in the history book what has been said in this cartoon is real you can not deny it it is history the inquisition really happen, if the Christians are upset it is because is true thousands of people were burned, tortured, killed by the church not to mention the so called witches, all in the name of a holy book, do not get upset, angry with me check the history books it did really happen, learn from it, thanks

  • 2:17 "take Charlie Weaver to block"

    damn this show was awesome

  • This is sooo awesome!

  • Defenitly influenced by Mel Brooks

  • 3:56 Uhh.. What did the lady in red just say? LOL

  • Oh how I miss this show. Anyone up for hounding Warner Bros. until they release these on DVD?

  • BUT, as a history major who's looked into it, the Inquisition was about controlling the population and keeping possible rebellion down; more a result of political insecurity than thinking that God would be 'happy with them.'

  • Christians who can't laugh at themselves shouldn't watch tv. I say this as a Christian.

  • they should do this again

  • -"I looked at my teacher with intense hatred."

    -"Who hasn't?"

    So True XD

  • Does anyone know where I can get a DVD with this show? I'm in Argentina and it was aired only for a short period of time. I've never seen it again in the past 10 years :(

    My favourite cartoon of all times.

  • did i just see an "Adam Sandler CD" as a torture choice on the wheel?

  • riligion is bullshit

  • I'm Catholic...and I thought this was hilarious.

  • HA!

    Imagine if they aired something like this on TV now-a-days.

  • I watched this show a lot as a kid, but I have no memory of this episode. A shame, too, because that was pretty funny!

  • i love big fat baby!!!!

  • Taking offense from a kids' cartoon does not sensible thinking show. Let me guess: criticizing religions other than Scientology (read: the dark side) is not allowed, I've always found that funny. What isn't funny is that this series is very difficult in terms of finding local home release of it.

  • I wish they kept the series online to watch. I really enjoyed it.

  • Pfffff, Adam Sandler was on the Wheel of Torture. XD

  • I'm so glad I was raised by this. :)

  • wow. being catholic, i can see how they'd get mad at that.

    however i have a sense of humor so i find it pretty damn funny

  • This is pretty damned funny. I can't believe I never watched this as a kid.

    *kicks self*

    Who says learning can't be fun?

  • white robes

  • I LOVE this cartoon, specially this episode (even before I came a historian!)... Thanks for the video...

  • this was banned? but I learnt so much about the inqusition! i didn't know they also inquisitionised those who recently converted

  • yep the catholic church got really pissed because histeria showed the churches true colors.

    i learned a lot from this show, too bad theres no dvd or torrents of the episodes

  • hehe, batteries not invented. xD

  • Catholics objecting to the truth about the inquisition? How unsurprising.

    Masonic check at 5:13, as well as the pinwheel. Stay alert

  • @3rdEYEbeHolder Yeah, they don't want to admit to doing those things!

  • @3rdEYEbeHolder Dozens of Catholics come in here and admit they are loving this but the moment a crazy obsessed Catholic comes and acts like a manic there's an inmediate response by dozens of people acting condescendingly to Catholics. Every religion has their own crazies that get insulted easily and act unreasonable, you need to stop generalizing.

  • nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

  • @Onerom4728 I'm actually surprised they didn't do something with that. There have been references to Monty Python in the show before, so it's a little disappointing. It was still funny, though. XD

  • @Onerom4728 - Cardinal Fang!!! Fetch...THE COMFY CHAIR!!!!

  • @thestrongtiger82 *gasp* The comfy chair ma'lord!?

  • @WolfDemonProductions

    NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @NUTCASE71733 I was going to say that! (Surprised they didn't!)

    Also... so awesome, they could NEVER get away with this on TV today, no one would even have the stomach to try!

  • Written by Alex Borstien, also played Ms. Swan on Mad TV, who currently voices Lois Griffen on Family Guy. Just a little info for anyone who cares

  • I don't get it. Sure the Inquisition was undesirable, and the Catholic Church doesn't torture people now, but you can't just pretend it didn't happen.

    Also, lol at Pepper. "Is that a good thing?"

  • Yeah but alot of myths surround it. One time I was told that 50,000,000 people died during the inquisition. This would have been impossible though since europe didnt have that many people. Overall, only around 1000-9000 people died.

  • did she say fuck you

  • I use to love this show. I would watch it everyday before school. :3 Thanks for the upload.

  • I love the animaniacs.

  • love it!

  • I wonder if the Catholic League is familiar with Mel Brooks' "History of the World Part 1". They do a big song and dance number about the Inquisition.

  • That ain't even the weird part, kid: I AM a Catholic and I LOVE that whole number!! It is funny as hell! This one ain't half bad either....personally, I think they overreacted.

    PS-Little bit of trivia: The name Torquemada translates as "burnt tower" in English. Fittting for a dude who liked to burn people.

  • Here's another bit of trivia! Torquemada came from a jewish family. By his own rules, he should've been subject to the inquisition if not banished.

  • Do you have the Nixon sketch from episode 46 20th Century Presidents?

  • I've reckognized 2 voice actors from the old waldo cartoons. The host, and the narrator with the beard.

    HAHAHAHA! One of the forms of torture is listen to an Adam Sandler CD.

    Haha, also notice when she advertised the Convert Or Die home game, she states "Batteries not invented." I love educational television.

  • say what...

  • No doubt "Bruce Bozzel's" ..gag, hack, garg, puke,..."Parent's Television Council" would hate this one. As would the ultra right-wing of the "Knight's of Columbus"!!

  • Dude!! Tom Ruegger is so talented a satirest. no wonder the current Time-Warner leadership isn't too supportive of its' animation division. The reason the Rockafellar heavy leadership probably are afraid of him even more than the "late night guy's" like Seth Green and McFarland. Is that Ruegger can talk to and communicate with "young kid's".

  • Rob Paulsen!

  • wow thank you so much wish i could find the full copies of this series because i've been looking for a very long time

  • i really need this in spanish!!! please help!!! is for my studentes.

  • OMG I haven't seen this cartoon like forever, I have forgoten does two egg shape babies hahahaha and the crazy red headed girl

  • wich one was it with king henery the 8th

  • America would hate this. They hate history when it interferes with their view of the world.

  • No t really. I am American and I love this.

  • Quite the contrary, as I myself am an American and I find this to be stonking hilarious. When we fail to learn of our past mistakes--and there are many--we are doomed to repeat them in our future.  NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

  • @TTEchidna

    Idiot, this was made in America. Albiet over ten years ago but to say that shows how much of an idiot you are.

  • 5:13

    lol playing chess w/ his toes

  • I haven't seen this show in 10 years, still hilarious as ever. Too bad you can't find episodes anywhere. :'(

  • Meh. Sounds like one of the blueprints from the Republican Party. ZING!

  • Adam Sandler CD is one of the tortures? lol

  • That's just brilliant! You need big brass balls (or iron uterus) to take on a religious controversial theme and make comedy with it, and bit of genius to make it funny. What happened to the 90ies cartoons?

    Oh yeah... eventually FCC did catch on...

  • jajajaja este progama estaba genial lo veia de chika ^_^

  • GOD this brings back memories!

  • I like that they're being truthful and not sucking up to the Catholic church.

  • adam sandler CD

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but at 3:58 The lady sounds like she says "F*** you"

  • holy shit! ur right!

  • She said "Thank you" but it does sound like "fuck you" must be the accent they gave her.

  • I didn't expect some spanish inquistion

  • this is why there aren't good shows on tv, it's because people bitch and complain that it's offensive which is why we get generic teeny crap.

  • I like the part when they diss the 1400s Catholic Church. Balls of Steel.

    *betteries not invented

  • It should be "Convert, *Leave* Or Die"

  • Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything!

  • This isn't offensive. Infact, according to law, tv stations are not required to move this. This is freedom of speech. Funny stuff, though. Oh and on the Wheel of Torture... "Adam Sandler CD". Lol

  • Pfft... way to whitewash history religious groups.....

    Total spoil sports, there.

    Adam Sandler CD being a form of torture? Genius!

  • *sigh* Edutainment at its finest. :) God, I miss this show. RELEASE THE DVD ALREADY, WB!!

  • its so funny that its almost Offensive

    i love this show

  • i loved this show

    i always laughted at the egg babies

  • This show is amazing. It had balls.

  • NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!

  • I think I saw Cardinal Biggles there in the first scene!

  • Great Monty Python reference.

  • hahaha thats hilarious ! greetings from spain !!

  • Choose Door #1! Take Charlie Weaver to block!! XD

  • 3:56

  • lol it sounds soo much like she's saying "Fuck Youuu" ... maybe that's just me though :P

  • i finally found it, i love this show...it actually tought me stuff when i was little....haha

  • i hate interest groups -_-

    in other notes, VERY funny sketch

  • Loved this show when I was in elementary school

  • I wish I can agree with you, but the Inquisition happened in other parts of Euope, including within the borders of the Holy Roman Empire. Spain, was simply following a popular trend.

  • Gee, wut did the Catholic League plan to do when kids had to learn about this in school? Were they hoping that by then they would be too brain-dead to care?

    Anyway, after wut Spain's "super" co-monarchs did, all the crap that happened to their children and descendants must've been karma.

  • No, I think the controversy was over the presentation of the Spanish Inquisition. For instance, the Catholic Church didn't happily initiate the Inquisition; rather, they reluctantly gave in to Spain, who was threatening the Church by coercing them to initiate the Inquisitions.

    Further, the Church has always opposed forced conversions, and never purposely targeted non-Catholics. The Inquisition was aimed at Catholic impostors, not people of "yucky religions".

  • I really did enjoy this show, and I applaud the writers for trying to tackle something as dark as the Spanish Inquisition. But you're right, a little context would have made it not only less controversial, but more historically accurate.

  • I agree. I have no problem with them addressing the Spanish Inquisition, which no doubt was a dark and depressing period in history, but context is definitely key. I think the culprits of the inquisition were the corrupt clerics and the state government (Spain).

  • Wow, I used to love watching this show as a kid, but I have never heard of this very anti-Catholic episode. I am disappointed. Having a good knowledge of the Spanish Inquisition, I can say that they neglected to mention many critical factors and simply depicted the Church as an evil machine that used torture to win converts.

    In fact, the Church does, and has always opposed using any sort of physical force to gain conversions.

  • OMG I can't believe good ol'Warners made this shit!!

    I LOVE IT ^_^

    Beats the heck out of today's kids cartoons:p

    "HAHAHAHAHA ,FUCK YOU:D"

    Did you hear Miss Informacion??

    They got away with saying all that and the F-Bomb on SATURDAY MORNING KIDS Television,LOL

  • Let's face it. You can't talk him outta anything!

  • omg if i was a kid watching this i wouldnt understand it. hahaha =p

    but i love this show none the less! they should re-air this series. it's educational and FUNNY! perfect combo :D

  • oh no a cartoon show is exposing our awful history better stop it!!!!

  • The Church should've tried to stop it then.

  • They did. Pope Sixtus wrote a papal bull, protesting the Spanish Inquisition. Ferdinand got angry. The Pope couldn't do anything. It's not like could have declared war on Spain?

  • Man, where can I download full episodes? I've searched everywhere... I would even buy a DVD if there was such thing

  • Take Charlie Weaver to block!

  • Holy crap! And I watched this when I was a kid?

    This just proves my theory that cartoons are not for kids. -__-

  • Isn't the Catholic League run by Phil Donahue (not the talk show host)? They dont' like any criticism of the Catholic Church (except when a member is too liberal).

    Like Orwell said, the future is controlled by those who control the past and the Church wants peopel to forget it's bloody past.

    This was the THIRD inquisition. While these did not have the millions of victims some people claim, they did have quite a number.

    How many people do you have ot torture before it's wrong?

  • Haven't you heard? The Catholic Church is the sole source of goodness and truth on planet earth, and all of us who don't immediately submit to the authority of a gay man in tall hat in Rome are guilty of horrible rebellion against God. All the horrible things the Church did are just lies made up by Protestants, who are the devil's spawn. Sounds logical - to them.

  • Last I checked, the Prostants didn't offer heaven in exchange for providing funds for an elaborate catherdril, heck the reformation was in responce to that scam!
