Summary of this DVD...
First, I have to say that this is a ridiculous idea for a show. People get drunk and then tell little known stories from history. They have some fascinating things I didn't know about. For example, I can't recall her name, but I didn't know there was a girl that did a ride like Paul Revere as well. Except, her ride was even LONGER. They have stories about famous people and big events as well as about people and events you've never heard of. Interestingly (or not, depending on your perspective), it's not uncommon for the storyteller to throw up in the first season. One person said throwing up on Drunk History is like crying on Barbara Walters. They also lay on the floor or on the couch in several seasons. While the storyteller is telling the story, it's being acted out by a cast who even lip sync what the storyteller says. It's quite funny as well as educational.
This type of DVD is good for...
People who want to learn quirky history parts without having to read and also good for folks who like low-brow humor.
I especially liked...
I especially like the fact that they pull out some really obscure (at least to me) history information.
I didn't like...
I have to be in the mood to watch drunk people being stupid in order to enjoy this show.
When I finished viewing this DVD I wanted to...
Watch the next season next time I'm in the mood. This isn't something I can watch all the way through, but that's me. I get tired of drunk antics after a while. But it certainly is a new way to present history.
This DVD made me feel...
Amused, disturbed, guilty (for supporting the idea of folks getting drunk)
The cast of this DVD...
The cast that play the characters does a good job. They're mostly real actors with 1 or 2 semi-famous ones thrown in. The storytellers, as far as I know, are mostly random smoes. They do various qualities of work, but it's all at last good.
I recommend this DVD because...
It's an interesting way to learn historical information.
I don't recommend this DVD because...
If you have a drinking problem or are adverse to the idea of people getting drunk, you shouldn't watch this video.
