HelenBaby July 6, 2014 Share July 6, 2014 Pretty sure Laura Dern is playing Nellie Bly. Link to comment
peeayebee July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 Loved Laura Dern as Nellie Bly. Hilarious when she's doing the crazy dog growls. I liked all the stories, though I still think the Jordan Peele one was the best so far this season. When the narrator of the Sybil Luddington story first appeared, I realized that she's been in a ton of commercials. It was weird seeing her drunk. Loved when Sybil looks at the camera and says, "Bluh blah. I've got it." 4 Link to comment
Amethyst July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 The Nellie Bly segment was the best. Perfect mix of acting and drunkenness. Even Derek was laughing at the bathing suit bit. 1 Link to comment
ganesh July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 I couldn't believe they actually got into the bath. Poor Derek. Laura Dern totally stole the episode. Just the facial expressions alone. It's funnier to me when the women narrate, but I think opposite gender narration is funniest. I didn't know about the teen girl that rode the 40 miles like Paul Revere, except longer! The direction of that scene was hilarious with the girl hiding in the shadows and then just appearing in the room. I wonder if she really called the colonists motherfuckers? 1 Link to comment

cynicat July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 Loved when Sybil looks at the camera and says, "Bluh blah. I've got it." That was a great line, and a great read. I also liked when Washington came back to thank her for her patriotism. Huzzah! Link to comment
Ananayel July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 I'm sure I will be able to figure out a way to work "Bluh blah, I've got it." into my daily life. 1 Link to comment
halgia July 13, 2014 Share July 13, 2014 Laura Dern was amazing. Liked all the stories too — I had no idea about Pulitzer basically Kickstartering the base for the Statue of Liberty, that's pretty cool. Link to comment
Amethyst July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 I think opposite gender narration is funniest. Same here. The Atlanta episode was so funny because you had Bill Hader and Keegan Michael-Key being voiced by Jenny Slate, who has a very distinct, girly voice. Link to comment
Neurochick July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 That little dog in the Nellie Bly story was hysterical. 1 Link to comment
mledawn September 3, 2014 Share September 3, 2014 Somehow I missed this episode - I laughed so hard at all the stories, the narrators and actors were fantastic. I can't believe Derek got in the tub, that was glorious. Link to comment
HalcyonDays January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 Somehow I missed this episode - I laughed so hard at all the stories, the narrators and actors were fantastic. I can't believe Derek got in the tub, that was glorious. Oh my god, I was half-expecting a make out session. Really, is Waters half drunk also when he listens to the drunkards narrate? Because otherwise, I cannot believe he would get into that tub while fully sober. Link to comment
