    Oh man...this show is spectacular. The first few episodes are a little off if you were a fan of the series. By the 4th episode, it really takes off with Winona Ryder, Jason Ritter (in a star turn), Bob Oedenkirk and Nick Offerman. And the storytellers keep getting more and more bizarre.

    This has to be picked up for a second season but, knowing Comedy Central nowadays, it probably won't.    Oh man...this show is spectacular.

    When you see an internet "thing" become a TV show, you prepare yourself for the worst. But this stays true to the original concept and builds on it to make for a well-rounded show that can only get more entertaining as it figures out what it is and what it could possibly grow into.    … Expand

    Forget the critics. If you can't enjoy the ridiculous things drunk people say while sober, then you must be Buzz Killington. The lip sync by A-list talents while sober of someone who is completely inebriated is the best thing to watch.

    I mean, Drunk History isn't necessarily bad. It grows on you, and after a while you find yourself laughing, but it takes too long for anyone with a remotely busy schedule to watch and find funny, and other than a few funny moments, it's pretty boring

    Critics have seriously lost their minds on this one, and need to get the stick out of their rear. It's simultaneously hilarious and educational at the same time. How many shows can say that? Vikings? Maybe. It's also just launched it's 5th season, so obviously a mass ton of people are in disagreement with the critics on this one.

    Drunk history is pretty darn funny. Its a bit of a side step from the online skits as the budget and production have changed but the main premise is still the same. Get famous people drunk and have them tell historical events about and in 3rd perspective of famous historical people.

    My girlfriend had me watch a clip, and I was genuinely uninterested. I watched the show out of boredom and it quickly became my favorite show on Comedy Central I enjoy the learning aspect of it and they're speaking a youthful language absolutely hilarious hopefully they re-up it for another season.

    Hilarious! If you're a fan of dumb shows like Beavis & Butt-head, 70's Show and Aqua Teen, you'll get this. Watching mostly-serious actors try to sync up to the bumbling narrators is a lot of fun.

    This would probably be hilarious if the actors didn't all sound like Dee Reynolds when she is wasted, which by the way, is a really **** portrayal of a drunk person.

The actors slur their words and talk in a monotone voice, that's about it. THe only real compliments I have, is that Drunk History is at least slightly better than the Kroll Show… Expand

    This is a creative concept for a show and everything is funny except the fake drunk acting. These guys are professional actors, they should be more believable and maybe even really get drunk. They make getting drunk look so painful and pitiful. Except for the American Music episode. When Eric REALLY drinks the other guys giggle like little school girls who havent gotten really drunk IN AThis is a creative concept for a show and everything is funny except the fake drunk acting.

    It has it's moments but gets old pretty quickly. Some of the people that get wasted ruin the humor with certain acts that narrows the appeal to a smaller audience of people that enjoy seeing drunk people doing their thing. Not exactly educational as some facts are twisted by their confused state.

    At first I was not sure what I was watching, but each episode Made me laugh sooo hard. The actors acting the scenes are fantastic, the lip synch is just amazing......why the critics don’t like it just amazes me, it’s mindless fun and very funny. Super creative concept, kudos to whomever came up w this concept

    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.

    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.

    Drunk History is a good-natured show with no inflated aspirations. But like a drunk in a game of darts, it doesn’t hit the target very often.
