The A.V. Club

Caroline Framke

Jul 1, 2014

Season 2 Review: The historical cosplayers relish their parts, lip-syncing drunken monologues with palpable joy. There is also an undeniable thrill in recognizing unexpected actors as they mouth along to incoherent rambles. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you're thinking about how long it'll be before this joke gets old, then you are not alone. Until then, Drunk History is a high-concept riot. Read full review

Los Angeles Times

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: Some will find it offensive, immoral, irresponsible--a highly defensible position. It's also very funny, a thing of twisted genius and, for the next eight weeks possibly the most original comedy on television. Read full review

Willa Paskin

Jul 9, 2013

Season 1 Review: How funny you find all this basically depends on how funny you find drunk people. And not fake-movie drunk people, but realistically drunk people: a little confused, no longer so good with words, and very sleepy. Read full review

Boston Globe

Matthew Gilbert

Jul 9, 2013

Season 1 Review: The wit of the historical re-creations, along with the excellence of the many guest actors in them (including, this season, Connie Britton, Kristen Wiig, Aubrey Plaza, Owen Wilson, and Jack McBrayer) helps to overcome the repetitiveness and slightness of the formula.

Season 1 Review: More often than not, watching Drunk History is like being the only sober person at a party where none of the people present are your friends. Read full review

Variety

Brian Lowry

Jul 9, 2013

Season 1 Review: The whole exercise has a distinct homemovie feel to it--a small-ball mentality suited to short bursts on the Web, perhaps, but an utter waste of empty, dimwitted calories blown up and out for television. Read full review

It's not laugh out loud funny but more like a smile, inside your head, for not very long funny.

It's a web video's worth of laughs stretched into a 30 minute show. Listening to drunks straining to remember details from a synopsis they read earlier in the day will either be tedious or hilarious to you.
