formerlyfreedom January 23, 2018 Author Share January 23, 2018 I am SO EXCITED this is back! Here's a link that Comedy Central put up of Tiffany Haddish's telling of the story of Rose Valland - http://www.cc.com/video-clips/slb1xg/drunk-history-rose-valland-takes-on-the-nazis Link to comment
ganesh January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 Paget Brewster is the best narrator on this show. She doesn't get overly drunk where she's sloppy. She talks a lot well, even though she's definitely drunk, and she antagonizes Derek. She always really ticked when he interrupts. I love that so much. I thought Tiffany was really good too because she talked a ton too. The punchline about hanging out with Tupac was hilarious. I think the last narrator was uneven, but had decent moments. I do love how the show always has the one woman dressed up as a man in the narration. 2 Link to comment
cpcathy January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 I thought Tiffany was trying too hard. Amber is always such a delight, I adore her. Does Derek really have A BAYBAY? 1 Link to comment
MorganSte January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 Amber could have done a better job on Clara Barton. 1 Link to comment
peeayebee January 24, 2018 Share January 24, 2018 I thought all three narrators did a great job, esp Paget. She's the best. However, I wanted to Derek to shut up. His "jokes" weren't even to the level of dad jokes. I didn't recognize Alexander Skarsgard. Link to comment

I think Busy Phillips was the best reenactor. She had the lip syncing and reactions down cold! I adore Amber on Seth Meyers' show but here I thought she was just okay. 2 Link to comment
Red Bridey January 25, 2018 Share January 25, 2018 I have to remember to add a few minutes when I record anything on Comedy Central. My show cut off before the end so I will have to find a repeat to see the end of the Clara Barton story. Dagnabit! Link to comment

My love for Paget Brewster knows no bounds at this point and she is so great on this show. I love the sound effects and descriptive way she narrated how Deborah Samson removed the musket ball from her own leg. Mandy Moore rocked in the scene where Clara Barton brought the supply wagon. I particularly love this exchange: "I need antiseptic." "I got that shit". "Do you have bandages?" "Yeah bitch, we got bandages." "What about normal shit like socks and food?" "You know what,? Abracadabra...bitch!" I just noticed that they have this exact exchange posted on Comedy Central. Edited January 26, 2018 by cynicat 3 Link to comment
Neurochick January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 Are they airing this uncut now? I just watched it on demand and it was uncut, and damn funny. Link to comment
cpcathy January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 I watched the Hamilton one On Demand and the F bombs were flying, made it even funnier for me. Link to comment
mledawn March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 Watching this season out of order, and this episode cracked me up. Paget is fantastic, she does a great job narrating. I loved her face when she asked Derek if he had a beh-bay! She's in that weird fake fur jacket thing, and getting all yelly. "Oh fuck, I'm gonna cry - I don't wanna to cry" "Let it out, you can cry" "WHAT THE FUCK! I'M TALKING TO AMERICA!" Evan Rachel Wood doing that exchange was hilarious in particular, but I loved her doing all of it. Tiffany Haddish was great, I would love to hear her tell more stories! I loved the guy playing the first SS Officer we see, when his hat falls forward on his face "Dis our SPOT! Dis where we gon BE at!". Busy Philipps was great with her expressions.

I also loved the bit at the end when she's all "You think I brought your ass socks but not fucking lanterns to light your surgery?" A great episode to start the season! 2 Link to comment
Silly Angel September 30, 2018 Share September 30, 2018 Ok, I'm super late to the party but just realized this was back on. Busy Phillips is a national goddamn treasure, and that soft gray onesie thingie Amber Ruffins was wearing looked like the single most comfortable piece of clothing ever. I know this show is hilarious but I learn so much about history! 1 Link to comment
