The History Channel missed an opportunity by not picking up Drunk History originally and it's a dumb move for them not to swoop in on it now. I guess it doesn't feature enough Bigfoot for them now.
They’ve gone down the reality TV route and their programming, which used to be interesting and engaging, seems to be mostly aliens, conspiracy, and reruns of the good stuff.
@@kuoh13 Yes, it is. When you fail at your job, it's your fault. Let me guess, you're a teacher or the child of a single mother teacher? You bought the "women are never responsible for their own actions BS," yes? When women fail, blame the nearest person that isn't a woman! We all went to school, your gaslighting isn't going to go anywhere.
@@kuoh13I went to public school in the United States. It was very rare to have a teacher who held a high bar and expected students to reach for it. Most of my teachers catered to the loudest and/or least educated level of students and some even then complained that they weren't able to teach us more in depth stuff. It's like, "bruh, this is your class. Don't let your students write your lesson plan".
@@kuoh13disagree. I feel your comment a little judgmental. Not everybody learns the same way. I've learned more history from this channel than with boring old "Mr. Smith" that has been teaching for 23 yrs & is sick of it..
*Great thanks to all writers, actors, production, and especially Mr Derek Waters!!* Brit born and well educated I actually learned a great deal of American history from the show. NO JOKE! It was the only show I preferred the American to the British spinoffs.
@@Beedo_Sookcool the content was well-written and I loved the way each series encapsulated either locations / cities, u.s. presidents, influential women Etc .. and then to mix just the right amount of wry humour. Also perfect editing between the narration and the actors playing the roles!
"The Real Reason Drunk History Was Canceled" was not answered in this video. It does speculate that Comedy Central was shifting to animated shows rather than live action. Also, you know, the global panini put a damper on production in general.
I wanted to make a spinoff called High Mythology. With the legalization of THC and associated products (at least in New York), I figure the show would be about people taking either gummies, brownies, smoking weed, etc. and talking about various world mythologies. One episode can be on the Trojan war, the next on the creation myth of Lenape people, the next the story of Hanuman taking the entire top of a mountain to get a medicinal herb for Rama, the next The story of Moses parting the Red Sea, etc.
Drunk History was a blast to watch. You could get drunk/high, have a laugh, and learn a little history. Don’t mess with a winner. Comedy Central better bring it back if they have any decency.
I haven’t watched Drunk History in years, mostly because we got rid of our cable & I was too lszy to track it down elsewhere. But I LOVED the first several episodes, when it was still super low budget. Seeing Jack Black as Ben Franklin in a terrible, cheap wig honestly made it even funnier. Hopefully another channel will pick it up soon!
I honestly think swapping to adult animation is a brilliant decision. However I think they should have kept drunk history and just chosen to animate it.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124ut then much of the humor would be lost... The lip synch by the famous comedians & actors expressing & role-playing what drunk followers were saying in the story WAS what made it so hilarious!!!
Drunk history was epic, and why i became a history buff wanting to know and doing research to see if these accounts were legit. I found that they were legit, entertaining and i was all for it. Sad they ended it, because it could've pushed others to do some looking into the past.
When I was working as a nurse in New Orleans the show was in town to film an episode. I want to respect his privacy, so I won’t say why, but I had the creator Derek Waters as a patient one night at the hospital I was working at, and he was a cool dude, he never once tried to act like some entitled big shot or anything like that, in fact he was one of the best patients that I’ve ever taken care of. I hope he’s doing well 👍
I still see these all of these actors through the lens of their Drunk History work - both in the re-enactments and the drunk narration. I haven't watched any Comedy Central at all since they dropped all their live action programming.
The people who took over comedy central in 2013 laid the groundwork for the channel absolutely obliterating all quality. It's widely spoken about amongst the comedy community surrounding the hiring and greenlighting of good comedy shows. They became the antithesis of their namesake.
I want to see a spinoff called 'HIGHstory' where they tell history while blazed. The one thing i always worried about with Drunk History is that the people involved were getting way too drunk, i was concerned they'd get alcohol poisoning and i couldn't relax and laugh and watch the show. A 420 version would not have the same problem, and might be even funnier.
Yeah they had rules and medical professionals right there. You couldn’t be already drunk when they arrived because they couldn’t monitor you properly. Someone said they had IV hydration available. All the narrators basically said it was the worst hangover they ever had 😮
The way you managed to stretch such a simple reason into almost 4 minutes of rambling is truly impressive. "Comedy Central decided to pull the plug on the show as the network moves away from live-action scripted shows in favor of adult animation." The end.
Really entertaining show! Very much missed. My friends and I gather on weekends and do a home version of Drunk History. Cool to learn new and often obscure bits of history.
"We're moving away from live action programming and towards adult animation." Ah gee, Comedy Central, could it be possible to reenact the drunk narration with, bare with me, animation instead? I know that would change the vibe but I think it would still work.
That was literally the only show that made me watch TV if it wasn’t for cartoons and it actually taught you something they would be dumb not to bring it back right now
This is a GREAT show. I learned... questionable facts lol. Loved it! To be honest, I never had CC but if Netflix/Amazon/Disney + had it on their streaming then I would 100% watch the whole thing.
Imo the reason why drunk history was canceled is that they were gonna tell the truth about something you're not supposed to tell. It's even more dangerous when it's history. You don't get canceled for lies, you get canceled for telling the truth
This is why artist should always own the rights and if a network drops the OG . Should be able to do what they want with it. Stop letting companies vault great works.
As sober person I had a love hate relationship with Drunk History. I did find it funny I also struggled to accept the deliberate abuse and glorification of alcohol.
I know why it was cancelled. I did not start watching it until the 6th season. I was watching it on Comedy Central and on Hulu. So of course, as soon as I start getting into it, they cancel it. :::grrrr::: I did notice near the end they started doing only two stories instead of three. Sometimes when they change things in shows, that is not a good sign.
The people in charge of what gets cancelled are idiots. They have ALWAYS been idiots. Kevin Smith famously noted that people fail upwards in Hollywood. I have never seen a network or platform that could tell a good show from a bad one. The number of successful shows that have been cancelled over the course of television history is astounding. And it's a shame. Drunk History was brilliant.
I remember the first couple seasons of this definitely hilarious. I wonder if this is why the kids these days like to lip-synch, stand-up comedy routines? 😂

Drunk History was the BEST!!!! Someone please bring it back!!!
Do you remember a fox show called "making history"? They (the machine) pulled the rug from under that funny show as well.
If it was real real it would be. It’s not fully real or “actually drunk” enough.
Along with “1,000 ways to die!” I miss them both.
tosh was much better
@@piotrswat169 two big different shows. Not comparable.
The History Channel missed an opportunity by not picking up Drunk History originally and it's a dumb move for them not to swoop in on it now. I guess it doesn't feature enough Bigfoot for them now.
Like actually. More accurate than most of the rest of their content these days. 🙄
In their defense, they DID try to warn us OVER AND OVER AGAIN what rising fascism would look like, and we didn't listen. 🤷♀️
And pawnshops, don't forget pawnshops.
The history channel is owned by a right winger who would’ve ruined it.
They’ve gone down the reality TV route and their programming, which used to be interesting and engaging, seems to be mostly aliens, conspiracy, and reruns of the good stuff.
Cleopatra had to be hands-down the most hysterical episode. Audrey plaza with the drunk moderator were straight “gag queens”😂😂😂
My favorite
My favorite was always Rose Valland with Tiffany Haddish.
Cleopatra’s little sister, one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched in my life..!
Nikola Tesla by Duncan Trussell would like a word.
I literally learned more watching Drunk History than I did at any school (which is either high praise for the show or an indictment of my teachers).
Or an indictment on your ability to pay attention and learn in class. Its not always the teacher's fault.
@@kuoh13 Yes, it is. When you fail at your job, it's your fault. Let me guess, you're a teacher or the child of a single mother teacher?

idk loser maybe pay attention
Paget Brewster Drunk Telling the Story of the Kellogg Brothers (Starring Luke & Owen Wilson) is EPIC!
Agree! She did a couple three fantastic episodes.. Everybody raiding her closet on the narrative part was hysterical.
*Great thanks to all writers, actors, production, and especially Mr Derek Waters!!*
Brit born and well educated I actually learned a great deal of American history from the show. NO JOKE!
It was the only show I preferred the American to the British spinoffs.
I'm English, but I grew up in the States, and I learned more history off "Drunk History" than I did in the Ohio state school system.

I forgot the girl they had playing cleopatra was too perfect. I think her name is Aubrey. I enjoyed that episode so much
Actress Aubrey Plaza?
Aubrey Plaza.
Lol. 😂 you know who it is. Stop capping

Sucks, because drunk history was awesome

IM DOWN
Niiiiice!!! ❤ That idea.... is 💯% 🔥!!!... Please 🙏🏽 MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
And , of course, hosted by Snoop Dogg. No studio audience , too much whooping and yelling.
Drunk History was a blast to watch. You could get drunk/high, have a laugh, and learn a little history. Don’t mess with a winner. Comedy Central better bring it back if they have any decency.
They didn't even give the creator a heads up that they canceled his show. Sad to say I think they might be lacking in the basic decency department.
I've watched this wonderful show shit faced. But like a friend of mine said, you learn about history but most times don't retain it.
I would love to see the return of Drunk History. 🙂🇨🇦
Yes
Time for High History 💚
Jack Black: "So then like... so like Abe Linkin is all.... he's all.... wait what were we talkin bout?"
@@konradk1066 lmfao omg whyyy did I read this in his voice 😂 shame on you 😂
YES!

Was hysterical. And we just cannot allow fun on any level, at any time. Everyone must be as miserable and divided as humanly possible.
This is the kind of hard-hitting journalism I come to TH-cam for
Why doesn’t Netflix pick this up? My favorite episode will always be The Story of Frankenstein Halloween Special.

loved the coke a cola episode as the dog barking was the best reaction from the actors LOL
Drunk History was an eye opener for television . It Made Television Great Again, and I don't drink
Seventeen Emmy nominations?!?! Wow that's amazing even if cancelled 😂😂😂
One of the most funniest shows in... History!

Not sure you covered "The Real Reason " it got cancelled?
1:45 is the best we get: Comedy Central's official statement... which is garbage.
I still see these all of these actors through the lens of their Drunk History work - both in the re-enactments and the drunk narration.
I haven't watched any Comedy Central at all since they dropped all their live action programming.
I hate when networks cancel good shows--especially when they are not dumbed down and are original!
They really killed their two best non-South Park shows (Tosh.0 being the other) at the same time.
The people who took over comedy central in 2013 laid the groundwork for the channel absolutely obliterating all quality. It's widely spoken about amongst the comedy community surrounding the hiring and greenlighting of good comedy shows. They became the antithesis of their namesake.
I loved Drunk History! Guaranteed belly laughs every episode.

It's rather strange that Comedy Central does history better than the History Channel.
👀I think Grunge confused Ashley Nicole for Raven Simone👀
Comedy Central became Comedy Canceled 😂
Nikola Tesla by Duncan Trussell was the high water mark.
Really entertaining show! Very much missed. My friends and I gather on weekends and do a home version of Drunk History. Cool to learn new and often obscure bits of history.
One My Personal Favorites ... Wish It Was Back on Another Channel or Streaming Service
It sounds a lot like Disney comedy central does. Comedy Central really screwed the pooch on this one. I hope he’s doing well..
This show should really be brought back.
That's really messed up. Netflix or Hulu needs to pick it up. It would be huge!
Drunk History needs to come back!!!!
"We're moving away from live action programming and towards adult animation."
Ah gee, Comedy Central, could it be possible to reenact the drunk narration with, bare with me, animation instead? I know that would change the vibe but I think it would still work.

That was the best series! Man, it needs to be brought back.
I wanna see high history, the reboot.
I learned so much history from this show!
❤❤❤ the show brilliant!!! Miss it 😢
I would have liked to watch their take on Challenger disaster.
Drunk History was funny and original.
Bring back Drunk History!!!!
I enjoyed that show!
Liked it. Thought it was a cool take on it.
Didn't really answer anything in this either...
It was mentioned that because of the pandemic and because the network was shifting more towards animated shows.
That’s horrifying! Please bring back drunk history!!!
This is a GREAT show. I learned... questionable facts lol. Loved it! To be honest, I never had CC but if Netflix/Amazon/Disney + had it on their streaming then I would 100% watch the whole thing.
Partly due to the Covid shut down and partly due to Comedy Central wanting to do more cartoons. (Saved you some time YW)
I would pay a million bucks to see Danny Inosanto blasted out his mind talking about Bruce Lee bar fights that we never knew about.
True History and wyt ppl don't get along. Ask Florida
Bring Back Drunk History!!!!!!!
You could totally animate this show!
Bring this back
I just watched dunk history on rerun for the first time in forever! Funny this video just happened to come out now too😆
Imo the reason why drunk history was canceled is that they were gonna tell the truth about something you're not supposed to tell. It's even more dangerous when it's history. You don't get canceled for lies, you get canceled for telling the truth
What animated shows does comedy Central have?
Watching drunk people while you're sober isn't funny.
No, but watching sober people while you’re drunk is!

My favorite 1 is Raven as Nichelle Nickles. I laughed so hard
Always wanted to check this show out, but as a recovering alcoholic, I thought it may not be a wise idea
What a shame.
Good show 🤘🏼
I'm hoping another network will pick it up. Its one of the few programs i look forward to.
Why did they cancel it again?
Geez, why would you cancel this. I did started watching Drunk History England and Mexico. I love it.
BRING IT BACK!!!!
You mean it wasn't cancelled because I didn't enjoy watching it?!
Drunk History was America's response to Horrible Histories
Tosh, awkwafina & Drunk History. Among these three...Only Drunk History made me laugh.
We seem to live in an age where all the good things get cancelled because the fun Police say so.
I can’t find it on youtube too
I was an early fan, but honestly I got really tired of watching people be drunk. High History would be a fun change.
I miss drunk history, and Derek.
The people in charge of what gets cancelled are idiots. They have ALWAYS been idiots. Kevin Smith famously noted that people fail upwards in Hollywood. I have never seen a network or platform that could tell a good show from a bad one. The number of successful shows that have been cancelled over the course of television history is astounding.

Drunk History was brilliant.
Derek Waters putting himself in EVERY episode got old fast.
Drunk history told truths that certain high profile people didn't like.
DAMN IT WANTED TO SEE THE ONE ON THE HARLEM HELL FIGHTERS!!!!🤦🏿♂️ COMEDY CENTRAL YALL DROP THE BALL!!!!!!
I miss Corporate too. That show was brilliant satire.
What a shame. At least, Comedy Central could have finished and aired the last season. Smh
Well...they cancel everything good. It was making us too "happy" and educated.
Comedy Central changing it's platform will probably cause them to lose a lot of their audience.
I remember the first couple seasons of this definitely hilarious. I wonder if this is why the kids these days like to lip-synch, stand-up comedy routines? 😂
No
Start a new show:
Intoxicated Nonfiction Storytelling
😂😂😂😂
My kids loved the show. I hope someone picks this idea up again.
there was a tv show?
At 15 seconds, maybe just tell us the 'crappy reason'. We're here because we already know what the show is and how it works.
This show is so hilarious and informative
love this show so much. i wish the spinoff lasted longer too :/
