History

Nathan's Classes - History is the second episode in Nathan's Classes - Season 1, written by Nathan Oreskovic. It is the sequel to Math and the prequel to Chemistry. It introduces two new students, Layla and Tommy, though Nathan never introduced them to the class.

It starts with Nathan shouting out, "Time for class! Today we're learning about..." like he does at the beginning of every episode. He states that they will be learning about history, and Dolores immediately blurts out that she knows all about history. Nathan shouts at her to shut up, and she stays silent. Nathan then asks if anyone knows about any historic event, and, Dolores raises her hand. Without being called on, she starts telling everyone how she knows all about history again, and, again, Nathan tells her to shut up. He calls on Layla, who tells him that once the clean of England wanted everyone to eat cake, so Nathan started telling a story. He refers to the event as the Cake Depression, saying that it was a very hard time in the 1700's in England, and that a bunch of peasants were sitting on the streets, eating bread. But eventually they ran out of bread. Before Nathan can continue with the story, Jack asks Nathan about peasant, because he's confused because he thinks peasants are birds. There's a silence, then Dolores blurts out that Jack is wrong and that he's mistaking them for pheasants, but before she can continue, Nathan again tells her to shut up. He explains to Jack that peasants are birds, and pheasants are poor, subordinate people from medieval times. He then continues with his story, and tells him that the queen of England was mad that nobody was feeding the peasants, so she shouted, "Let them eat cake!" The queen hired bombers to fly over the city and drop cakes, and all the peasants were happy and well-fed. He tells them that the Cake Depression is still going on, and people and peasants in England still eat cakes from the sky. Nathan then asks if anyone wants cake, and pulls a lever that drops cake from the sky. Jack, Layla, Little Jimmy, Riley, and Tommy are shown cheering for cake, while Dolores hides under her purple umbrella. The room floods with cake, and, while trying to escape, Dolores screams/asks what is wrong with the world before being covered in cake.
