It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Drunk History is one of my favorite shows! It is exactly what the title suggests: drunk people talking about history. What makes this a great show is that the history is usually unknown and the (drunk) narrators are extremely passionate about their topic (as drunk people usually are!)If you are not a drinker then this may not be the best show for you, but as a drinker and a history buff, I thoroughly enjoy every episode and have watched them multiple times. The humor is in the storytelling and the re-enactments, which take full advantage of the intoxication of the storyteller - making historic figures and events much more human and relatable.While it is not for everyone and some might be offended by the alcohol and irreverence, the history is real and so are the people.

Fist I read I review I find actually more humorous than the show as it inferred that in between the humor you may learn something about history. My guess is the shows creators would also find that funny as hell. One the other hand assuming the comment was serious you really have to wonder about this shows target market. Personally I love Adult Swim, the Cartoon Network and adult humor. I have watched a few of these shows and personally don't find them funny at all (maybe the first 10 minutes of the first show, after that every episode seems sort of based on the same gag. If the writing was better this could be a great show in terms of intellectual humor. Instead it seems more slapstick as the more the actor talks the more absurd the humor becomes , if you can find humor in it. Besides the writing the acting really is pretty bad. Acting drunk is likely not easy while at the same time having to recite lines that I guess are meant to become lamer by the minute. I feel embarrassed frankly for those involved and once again the premise of drunken distortion of history gets old quickly when the writing sucks. Finally the entire concept of making light of those loosing control while drinking and trying, and not succeeding, to get people to laugh at the drunk just strikes me wrong for some reason. And just to make clear I not a religious person so comments coming from that angle, I admit I am likely older than the target audience (55 and a professional) but I have none the less never been accused of being overly mature. I am typically a big fan of humor which pushes the limit and sets new standards (I am the type who see shows such as the Simpsons as funny but tame in the sense of not wanting to push the limits so as not to offend anyone and retain a broad audience. I totally understand the reasoning and it has generated a ton of money no two ways about it. However I think shows like Rick and Morty, South Park and canceled shows such as Brickellberry to be much more entertaining. I thought God, The Devil and Bob, Firsky Dingo and others that pushed the bounds as funny. I know this show is not a cartoon so to compare more apples to apples the humor and writing skills ranks up there with the old Benny Hill show.

An idea that could have possibly made a decent 10 minute skit on a comedy show like SNL, if only it was a little bit funny. I couldn't watch this garbage longer than 5 minutes. There is so much wrong with this dribble.. it's pretentious, vapid, boring, stupid (in an unfunny way), and most of all, totally UNFUNNY. This is the worst piece of crap I've seen on cable in a very very long time! I need more words and lines for this submission, so here they are.. This show sucks! It really really really does! Suck, that is! Really, it does! Totally!!!Still need more words..I imagine this type of comedy would be funny to a person watching it who was impaired.. I mean like drunk, or in general. Perhaps the next time I'm drunk I will test this out. But, I strongly urge anyone who is not drunk, or impaired in any other fashion, not watch this. (I hope this was enough verbiage to get this submitted.)

as my summary states, unfortunately on my own behalf... i can attest to the multitude of drunken states of our narrators. i am and always have been (at least of the comprehensible age) been "that drunk guy". the thing that makes me love this show so damn much, the drunker i get... the smarter i feel, the more i know, the absolute truth comes from deep within.i get a good giggle out of the naysayer that claims "oh it's staged", i might be a drunkard but i am not naive. sure enough the script is read in a relatively sober state, and drunken context is added. right up until "the i'm feelin' so good, it's bad" state of inebriation. i do not doubt for a second if a gentlemen showed up with a quality fifth of scotch, asked me to polish it off and then "read this" that i would more than likely spit out some quality comedy gold.this show, with the wonderful acting and pantomiming is without a doubt the funniest show on TV. it will only gain in greatness if, and when, it branches out into the international circuit of this amazing planet. just imagine the wonderful accents! cheers my friends, drinks up to a good evening.
