I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Excellent but underrated film

Absolutely the worst movie.

Absolutely Brilliant!

I'm personally not a history buff, but I do study up on in sometimes depending on the subject matter and person. I'll admit sometimes whenever history was being taught or I had to watch a certain documentary I really got bored to tears, it could be because of lousy presentation, the hypnotic monotone as if the speaker is bored himself, or the subject matter just doesn't grab in. This is a show that strangely makes history fun.This is another honorable mention in skit comidies (ok, not exactly a skit comidy but since it consists of three short parodies it's close) that I really like and it's on a subject that is rarely parodied on which is history; let alone there really aren't that many historical comidies I know except "Black Addler" but that's a different story. You can also say this show is kinda an educational comidy as it is depicting real events, in it's inaccuracy.I really like each of the speakers whom consist of actors, comdians, host, etc. It's not just funny seeing each of them tell the story of a historic event but also seeing each of them act contrary to themselves because their doing this while hammered, liquir can make you do and say some crazy crap. Most of what each of them say or performed was actually improved or at least it looked improved, all the same it was really funny.And of course the reinactments are just hillarous, I really like the production value on each of them as they really are up to par including the wardrobe. Though what makes them funny are each of the cast members that play the historical characters; there is just a corn a copia of them it's always fun seeing who's playing who, and each of the cast are having fun doing it. It also makes each episode a supprise where I never know who is going to play who next, the possibiltes are just wild and almost endless. It's true that each of them don't look anything like those figures but that the comidy on the notion of reinactments because actors in them most of the time never look anything like their real life counterparts. Though what's even funner is the fact that each of the actors are lipsyncing and acting out the emotions of the narrator. It really makes sense when you think about it because this is an event from their perspective and when you tell a story out loud your doing it in your own voice.I really like how each of the stories play out as it's kinda both visual and verbal humor corilating together. It's when those inaccuracies kick in that's where it's really funny; anyone that knows history would easily know that this and that didn't happen, or that figure never existed. There is funny not just because of how incorrect it is but that it's actually kinda true sometimes most history turns out wrong due to some new findings. Some records get lost and we tend to fill in the blanks as best we can. But also most of the time whenever we read or told about history we really are using our own imaginations about what happened back them because we never lived in that decade or were never really there when it happened, so how would we really know what really happened or what else.Drunk History makes history well sort of.Rating: 3 and a half stars.

Being a tad of a teetotaler myself and an extremely avid history fan (I have my bachelor's in history), the show feels made for me. The best part of the show is when the actors are mimicking the drunk storyteller's words. It's so random and comical. I've actually learned a great deal about history from this show while being ultra entertained with humor. Not many shows can boast that they actually teach people something without it coming off as ultra boring. In fact, this show may be the first of it's kind, a maiden voyage of connecting knowledge and humor in television. I guess my one critique would be that I've enjoyed it more with 2 stories per episode (or even 1) instead of 3, so the storyteller can delve deeper into the topic and characters. With 3 stories an episode, it feels a bit more flimsy information wise. For example the Hamilton by Lin Manuel Miranda. Which by the way, that Hamilton episode is seriously one of the greatest things ever created by man. The two girls Aubrey and Alia are simply off the chain and Lin's account has so much depth. We can just get so much more connected with the characters when it's a 1 or 2 story episode. Regardless, I love it, and keep em coming.

This was recently recommended to me. So I gave it a shot. Watched the episode that included The Alamo. And another one that included Lewis and Clark. I could see this being mildly amusing as a skit on Mad TV or SNL. By the end of the second episode it had worn me out. Watching people get drunk is not funny. Listening to them tell stories - badly - is not funny. The miming is marginally amusing. I find myself wanting to reach into the TV and strangle the narrators. I'm embarrassed for the actors. I'm humiliated recalling all the times I was drunk and telling crappy stories in the company of my non-drinking friends. Now I know what an asshole I sounded like.

The premise of "Drunk History" is simple. You have someone sit down and talk about important historical moments in American history....but first you get them drunk and keep them drinking throughout the episode. As they (often) terribly narrate history, various actors (often very famous folks) act out the history and spew the profanity-laden dialog.At times, this show is very funny. But, other times the humor is very thin. Much of this seems to depend on the narrator as well as how drunk they get. Because of this it's very hit or miss. Now here's the weird part, generally the history they spout is correct-- and filled with interesting tidbits. I say generally because although IMDb says it's all 100% true, it isn't (trust me on this, I am a retired history teacher and have spotted a few flaws and urban legends). But it IS as accurate as many of the History Channel shows...and it's often funny. Overall, I see this as a great show to watch if you just want a time-passer--a show that required little in the way of deep thinking or if you're doing something else at the same time.
