Horribly Made History is a Lucian-Gallian-Erebonian comedy-educational Alto Reel web series produced from 2019 until the present. It mainly consists of personnel from Task Force 141, which disbanded as the Imperial Crisis neared its end.
The TV show carries over the graphic style and much of the content of the Historial Mishaps book series. It maintains the franchise's overall irreverent but accurate focus on the dark, gruesome or scatological aspects of Lucian and other Europan and Asianna world history, spanning from the Stone Age to the post-Second Europan War era. Individual historical eras or civilisations are defined and named as in the books, with sketches from several different time periods combined within a single episode. Live-action sketches—which often parody other UK media or celebrities—and music videos are intercut with animations and quizzes. The starring troupe are Richard Philip Todd, Waldemar Fegelein, Kurt Irving, Reisi Kurasawa, Imca Schreiber, Juno Coren and Sarah Valestine, along with supporting casts of Cameron Starcevich (who joined the main cast as of Season 1 of Episode 14), Seon Myung-dae, Ryuk Chang-min and others. The black rat puppet "host", Rattus Rattus (played by Emrick Brennan), appears in short bridging segments, explaining the factual basis for each sketch.
