How does finding this funny mean you don't watch much other comedy?
And the songs are great! I have the Viking one on my iPod. 
I can see why it's hugely popular and I can appreciate it as an adult, but deep down I know that as a kid, Horrible Histories would have had me reaching for the remote and switching over to T-Bag or Mike and Angelo within seconds.
T bag?
Oh shame that was terrible
It's only charm was it was named after a degenerate sex act
I would have liked Horrible Histories!
I did love T Bag too though.
I wish they would bring Johnny Ball back.

The young boy in that had a hugely annoying face.

T-Shirt was my favourite character but the actor mainly does voiceover work now - so maybe there is something in what you say...

I despised Johnny Ball, sneeking education into my home time the evil bastard!...
My son is ten and he and all his mates love Horrible Histories, especially the songs.
It's funny.
I love it! Although I've not checked I'm sure I saw David Baddiel in it and the guy who plays Gerard in Peep Show?

It's got any number of name-comedians involved in it, both in writing and performing.
