I’m on a thread chatting about Ghosts and HH obviously gets mentioned quite a bit and not wanting to derail that thread I thought I’d start one to talk about our favourite HH songs and skits.

I love so many of them it’s difficult to pick a favourite but I’ll start with Literally. So many heavy rock memes it’s fabulous...literally!😀

Ooh, I love so many!

Cleopatra, and Norman Style, and the Kings and Queens one and the RAF one...

BettysLeftTentacle · 08/05/2019 14:30

The Stupid Deaths theme!

GrumbleBumble · 08/05/2019 14:30

Glad to see so much love for the Battle of Britain Take That song, I am descended from a Polish WWII pilot so I am always really moved by the mention they get while giggling at the brilliant Take Take parody.

Mines the king Georges one 'born to rule'
But my favourite sketch is the TOWIE style Helen of Troy hahahahaha absolutely hilarious.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar. That’s the first HH I ever saw and was hooked.

I like all of them really but my favourites are probable Darwin/Bowie and Dickens/Smiths

I also love The Few and it's has nothing at all to do with the uniforms. well just a bit.

Love HH.

HappyPunky · 08/05/2019 14:37

I love the Mary Queen of scots bohemian rhapsody one. She's brilliant in the episode too switching between French and Scottish.

I also like the ones that Matthew baynton does. We're a similar age and I think we must have similar taste in music. Dick Turpin, Charles Darwin.... He's hot too. Blush

Stupid Deaths and Cleopatra are my favourites. The DC love HH and we have so many episodes downloaded onto their iPads that every holiday is a learning curve!

Kokeshi123 · 08/05/2019 14:42

Harm a Llama is so short and yet so endearingly absurd. Likewise, You Can't Get Quicker Than a Queen Fit Fitter and the Fabulous Fat Factory.

FoxSquadKitten · 08/05/2019 14:46

My husband's favourite is Pachacuti

Mine too, also love Boudicca.

Catchingbentcoppers · 08/05/2019 14:48

Hi remember choking on a digestive the first time I saw the Aztec Priests one. I can't link on my phone but would be grateful if someone else could please!

Keepaddingpets · 08/05/2019 14:51

Pachacuti is by far the best!!

Jonsnowsghost · 08/05/2019 14:56

I absolutely love the WW2 one! I can often be found watching it on YouTube

Emerald123 · 08/05/2019 14:56

The final song, We're history. Gorgeous.

User10fuckingmillion · 08/05/2019 14:59

Pachacuti!

MissFitton · 08/05/2019 15:08

"......can you imagine it, I'm the last Plantagenet...." 😂

CloudRusting · 08/05/2019 15:09

So many to pick from but some of my favourites are
Charles II king of bling
WW2 pilots the few
Charles Dickens
Shakespeare
Florence nightingale- all about the base
Shakespeare’s sensational song

ElGuardiandenoche · 08/05/2019 15:09

Got lost down a HH rabbit hole and have been watching a lot of videos and found an outtake one.
