Comedy Central has been able to take a can’t-miss idea and move it from short online sketches to a series of sketches that fill a half hour of television with a unified theme and increased production value, while bringing the brilliant idea to a wider audience.
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 **** 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
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.
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.
When you have talent like Adam Scott (John Wilkes Booth), Bob Odenkirk (Nixon) and Jack Black (Elvis) on hand, why not let them improv their own material? They're wasted as puppets trapped in this sad, thin vaudeville.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. I think the concept of the show is good, but the execution is very poor. I was actually pretty excited when I first saw the commercials for the show, but when I got to watch it, it was just a let down. 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
