The Worst Jobs in History - The Tudor Age - Part 2

[noob2top3210]

Hmmmm Game of Thrones, the should've shown that as a historical theme. WIPE THAT BUTTHOLE!

[Rowan07001484]

can you imagine having to wipe the shit off of king Henry the 8th's massive ass. with his diet as well, I guess he'd be on the toilet constantly.

[UglyBetty70]

The Executioner role sounds like the most tolerable job out of all of the whole series..you still get paid and even though your hated it's not a boring job.

[snoopy154]

We have to do an essay on this episode and the medieval one in English...

[NevaehBeatez]

@kernelninja no, he is a MAN. Boys are children, which is why he's like...ur not really a boy, are you?

[JihadJoeC4]

Wtf why are there tits in the sidebar?

[kernelninja]

that spitboy is a girl????? WTF????

[MorganTheHeretic]

"Who needs friends, when you have enemas". :)

[theperv01]

Id rather b an excutioner

[TheTraumarama]

So THATS what the mean when you're called a royal asswipe!

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

I could possibly be the groom of the stool but only for queen Elisabeth.

Henry the VIII? NEVER!!

[xraidedlok]

you have all that power and you screw it up...

[JihadJoeC4]

I`ve always wondered what it would have been like to live in a different time.

[shiptech2k9]

cleaning an arse isnt that bad, I clean my own even just with water and I dont mind washing another arse especially if you get a lot of power in exchange.

[Afraid0fGhosts]

Ahhh hell no! I would never let anyone clean my ass

[DuttyGyal718]

It would have taken a week to clean that fat arse, more than that if he had a "siege." >_<

[shcnoozlebop]

i just looked up henry norris. the poor guy had a job wiping the king's arse, then he got falsely accused of adultery with anne and got his head knocked off. that's shit.

[shcnoozlebop]

if i were a queen i would think it the most degrading, poverty-ish thing in the world to need to have my arse wiped for me. i would refuse to let anyone near my behind lol

[Rowan07001484]

@shcnoozlebop

ah but you wouldn't mind if you were the king or queen, back then. they were brought up to believe that they were better than everyone else. they didn't feel embarrassed in the presence of people lower than them. they were used to having servants present during what we would see as being personal. like having a bath, getting dressed.. and so on.

[WolfArden44]

Whacked, lol

[Sutorenja]

whoo needs friends when you have enemas

[liquidchicken23]

haha I'd rather be a spitboy as well...LOL

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

ha he did not eat the skin of the chicken ha ha. so do i.

[Droopydog545]

@TheIcelandicPatriot why won't you? The skin's the best part!

[lamenzies]

I hope the fabric cover was washable.

[balletlunatic]

I heard that the noblewomen wore long dresses so they could squat and take a dump under the staircases is this true

[tribetng]

@balletlunatic No its not, although having said that it was common practise in towns and cities where houses, pubs, inns etc were not built with toilets for people to pee wherever they were, out the window, behind the wardrobe etc for everything that wasn’t pee all but the very very poor people used chamber pots (if they were indoors) and dumped it in the street The big dresses of rich ladies were too difficult to get off in a hurry so a maid would crawl underneath them with a chamber pot.

[71TattyTeddy]

@tribetng Gives a whole new meaning to having a shit job i would think.

[tribetng]

@71TattyTeddy It dose indeed, also to the expression 'brown noseing your boss.'

[71TattyTeddy]

@tribetng Lol, very good.

[godawefulll]

UK TV is sooo much better than USA stuff;0

[meenksellaan1]

I kind of love the part (2.20 - 2.40), I suddenly feel the need to gobbel down 5 kilo's of chicken.

[ayansb]

This brings a whole new meaning to the term "holy shit"

[KateMcT]

I find it hysterical that the person explaining the duties of the Groom of the Stool is an Art Historian. Something about that just makes me laugh. Nothing particularly artful about how the royals went to the bathroom.

[candyz111]

ok you know your job sucks when a variation of it is shonon this show

[mckfrr]

You couldn't pay me enough to wipe a royal's butt.

[MaximOfSurrey]

A log jam. Oh Tony. You kill me.

[audgeyp]

The hole in the stool is so small. If the King had the runs the whole thing would be a holy mess.

[KateMcT]

@audgeyp Not really. Even though the fleshy part of the butt got bigger, the anus is still the same size and in the same place, so it wouldn't have really mattered..

[TheChillyAcademicIV]

Whats an enema?

[TachieBillano]

@TheChillyAcademicIV: An enema is a cleansing process which forcibly remove poo or shit from a person's body. You usually need an enema if you're suffering from chronic constipation, about to give birth, or about to undergo intestinal surgery. You can guess which of these applied to the meat-loving Tudors. Docs at that time would shove a giant syringe up your ass to suck it all out. I think a bit of rhubarb helped soften thing, too. Yecch. LOL.

[CHistory2010]

That job was very noble, you nub.

[baraxor]

No wonder that a lot of medieval royals and nobles died of complications from hemorrhoids.

[DokuJunkie]

"who needs friends if you have enemas?" roflmao

[Hotshotter3000]

I eat chicken that was cooked in a similar way, and I'm telling you, the food was absolutely delicious, if greasy. The skin tastes 10 times better than KFC, but even without it, the meat itself tastes awesome. No wonder some people want to replicate the taste.

[acerb45666555]

a Groom Of The Stool?! no way! not me! id rather do sentry duty on the walls in winter!

[MMeMargoulette]

Do they still make this show? I loved it.

[girlingreensocks]

ill wipe my own ass thankyou

[Rahab111222]

All that beef and chicken looks delicious.

[space13awesomer]

wiping someones ass is really bad but if you get lots of gold then... sign me in!

[gtaivpimpdaddy14]

that chicken looked good i want some

[BrionyCoote]

I wonder who wiped the Queen's bottom?

[susanbunch1980]

Wow, great video! You should enter your video into this contest, Ewisdomtv

[mckfrr]

Lol. Im sorry but I wouldn't want anyone to touch my butt, thats my job. lol. Jeez these royal people were so spoiled, couldnt even wipe their own ass.

[thehobbitwaffle]

Suddenly I want steak.

[Hotshotter3000]

There are roasting machines that basically work like that. They have spits and gas-flames to cook them on and they turn automatically. Most of the time they're chickens, and the meat is consistently very good.

[supatoker420]

"Your majesty, has it come time, to wipe thy royal bottucks?"

"Ahh yes my boy, get at it you will!"

[Chisaineko44]

i am so thankful for modern plumbing. the only problem i have found is this:

i am a medieval reinactor and having to go to any bathroom in almost 10 yards of fabric is hard no matter how hard it is. i feel for the women. (by the way, i am a woman). it is HARD. the men had it just as hard depending on what they wear.

[PenguinHeavyMetal]

henry the eighth is my hero!

he is a meat lover :D meat owns!

[kiminokami]

"An American diaper"? What do they use in England?

[simcity2120]

nappy

[kiminokami]

It's not the same?

[Isthisthelongestname]

same thing, different names - you know like how u americans called cars automobiles, sweets - candy and pavments - sidewalks!

[Triplesod]

Leaves.

[yankeegurl62]

a 'napkin'

[whowantsabighug]

that chicken looks goooood

[MrsNorris55]

Groom of the stool ... I swear, I will NEVER EVER complain about my job again ...

[Charapova100]

@MrsNorris55 hahaha makes you think doesn't it :P

[MissYummyCake101]

@MrsNorris55 i cant stop laughing at ur comment anyway what is ur job ??

[MusicnLyrics121]

@MrsNorris55 LMAO :D

[mmedefarge]

That room where Robinson sat on the Royal Stool, appears to be Woolsey's closet at Hampton Court. When I visited Hampton Court, I'd thought that the term "closet" meant a place where clothes were kept & the King dressed. I loved to visit Hampton Court; this room was my favorite because it had a very calm & peaceful atmosphere. I went there 2X during Christmas time when hardly anyone else was visiting & used to like to sit & read in this room because of the "wonderful" atmosphere. LOL.

[yerk3]

"Who needs friends when you have enemas!"

So, basically, the gong scarers were like the Poopsmith from Homestar Runner.

[sjfriend]

i would of prayed he was constipated!!

[Asarelah]

Then you'd have to administer an enema. What a fun job.

"Butt boy! Come here and wipe me!"

The things people will do for power.

[Alienmad462]

LOL

[GhostWritersDragon]

@sjfriend I would have made him constipated :)

[DuttyGyal718]

@sjfriend luckily for you he was! :P

[Droopydog545]

@sjfriend ROFLMAO!

[QueenWaterLily]

@sjfriend

Hahahahahahhahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa :D
