It's Coming


Oh my God this looks good. On Hulu starting March 6th.

 

[Drunken knight]

Don't get saucy with me, béarnaise!

I'll just say two things. One, comedy is contextual. The writer has to understand time and place and what will pass for funny and what won't. Second, good comics are like poets or rock musicians. They're best when they're young and anxious and things are urgent. Aside from Rodney Dangerfield and Bob Newhart, I can't think of a comic that aged well. By "aged well" I mean wasn't a basic version of their prior uproarious self.

Are you a stand up philosopher now?

He may just be nuts.

N V T S nuts!

This might be one of the exceptions, but Rock is pretty much right about the best stuff coming early in careers. Still looking forward to it though.

 

[El Floppo]

It's good to be the king.

 

[Brony]

The creator of that looks like the piss boy.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Mel Brooks is the exeption to everything.

And I love Wanda Sykes.

well you look like a bucket of ...

 

[snellman]

King jumps Queen

 

[Psychopav]

Sweet. If nothing else, will be an opportunity to rewatch Part I.

Odds on "Jews...in...Space!" making an appearance in the first scene?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I think I'll share the feelings of the world's first art critic on this one.

 

[Don Quixote]

*Bump*

Anybody watch yet?

 

[ChiefD]

Not yet. I'm heading to visit my brother for spring break next week so I'm going to wait and watch with him.

Gahhhh... so it sucked then?

I didn't watch it. And really, my opinion on comedy movies shouldn't be listened to anyway. I don't think many comedic movies are very funny. Especially one like this where the creators set out to make something exceedingly offensive.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Great cast. Too bad the reviews say it's dumb. Either way, it should have been a movie rather than a series.

 

[Eephus]

I watched Part 1 over the weekend (the 1981 movie, not episode 1 of the new series). It had a few laughs and a great cast but a lot of the gags were obvious and dated.

 

[jamny]

From the previews, im not expecting much. Doesn't look very good and I love most Mel Brooks' stuff.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I have no idea where you got this idea from.

 

[Psychopav]

Liked both episodes last night. Seems like it's more of Part I, with more contemporary gags. I enjoyed it. Mostly just silly with several LOL moments mixed in.

'History of the World, Part II' will be 'offensive,' 'push the envelope,' cast members claim

Cast members and directors of the sequel to the Mel Brooks classic 'History of the World' told E! News in recent interviews that the sequel series will be 'offensive.'

www.foxnews.com

"Following Brooks' advice to fearlessly make dirty jokes, Barinholtz said he encouraged the show's creators to make, in his words, the "stupidest, offensive, dumb, fun show" that people could enjoy."

 

[Leroy Hoard]

To be fair, the actual history of the world is itself quite offensive.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

To be fair, the actual history of the world is itself quite offensive.

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I really liked the Jackass sequence, of all things. I despise those shows.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

It's... not great.

 

[dickey moe]

I took the bullet for y'all last night. Had to stop watching after about 10 minutes in. It was absolutely terrible.

I liked the first episode. Definitely more on the silly end with chuckles and occasional lol’s as you put it. Kama Souptra and Romanov bits had me cracking up :rolling:

Liked the contemporary & anachronisms gags like Anastasia being a TikTok influencer for example or Mel Brooks being digitally de-aged. Can’t wait to watch the rest, just the massive amount of celebrity cameo’s is fun and reminds me of enjoying the first few seasons of Drunk History episodes.

I was pretty much going to write the same thing. It was exactly what I expected, got some decent chuckles, especially during the scenes mentioned above.
