Watching some Drunk History.
WTF is that?
You've never seen it? It's on like six seasons now. Derek Waters interviews historians that are shit ass drunk and famous actors act out whatever the drunk people say. It's amazing.
Huh - never heard about it.. how did you?

I don't watch normal TV really - i.e. broadcast.
I watch hulu, netflix, amazon prime - and shit I download... so ads are something I rarely see, outside those mentioned and seeing the ads for their shows.
But clearly I'm not alone - JB hasn't heard of it either.

Exactly - it sounds like what people in Idiocracy would want to watch. - Ouch my Balls.

Drunk History - iirc - is about things that have happened in history while people were smashed, and how the drink made those sorts of things possible.
Like the pyramids weren't built by mostly slave labor, but actually with paid skilled labor, paid in beer. Which beer at the time was more nutritional than alcoholic.

That doesn't match what people above said - they said it was about getting historians and famous people wasted and then asking them in front of cameras about historical events - that just sounds like exactly what Ouch My Balls is all about - just watching people being dumb.

No, the historians are drunk. And all of the history (so far) is American.

Its' not dumb, though, because it is nearly all professional historians and they tell real, interesting history. Just with hilarious dialogue.

All the episodes I've seen have comedians getting drunk and telling a historical tale. Haven't seen any actual historians, but I haven't seen all the show either.

I still don't get the point - the whole whole being drunk is the only thing the audience apparently gives a crap about - let's see what stupid/crazy (scott says interesting) thing they say next. Again, it seems like little more than low brow humor - it's definitely not about the history. You might as well watch one of those crazy jerzy bimbo shows real housewifes or some crap.

Minute 32 on a Dell support chat.... and all I need is a replacement (under warranty) laptop power adapter. And chatbot hasn't comprehended the part where I said the defective one was recycled, I think he will be expecting a return part.

Given that that is not at all the case, and that no one said anything like that, this seems like a bizarre conclusion to draw. What did you base this conclusion on?

Odd thing to say, since it definitely is. It's probably the most influential history show out there. NOthing on the History Channel comes close, that's for sure. It's no PBS Civil War, but for a standard running series, it's probably the best history show out there.

Drunk History focuses on biographical vignettes from American History. For example, it's the most influential medium for learning about Claudette Colvin, or First Lady Frank Cleveland. Important American historical figures often panned by more mass media.

I find it odd that you compare actual history and actual live filming to staged fiction shows. I feel like you aren't understanding what a history show is about.
