Jen Kirkman is one of the best narrators. I also love the one she did before Drunk History was on Comedy Central, about Lincoln and Frederick Douglas with Will Ferrell and Don Cheadle.

I liked during the Mary Dyer story, when they go to hang her a second time, there's just a car going by in the background.

Jen Kirkman is my favourite! Her Fredrick Douglass episode is my all-time favourite Drunk History, and the one I showed all my friends as an introduction.

 

I just love the way she tells the story - she's so earnest about it all.

Ha - now I have an excuse to watch it again just to look for this scene!

Not to mention that Winona Ryder totally nailed it as Mary Dyer.  It's one of my favorite reenactments.

I'll echo; Jen Kirkman was amazing.  Between "She rocked their freaking dicks off!" and then bawling that Mary Dyer has an unmarked grave, but Jim Morrison has a marked one and made terrible music, she was just on fire.  She made up for the other two stories, which I thought were only ok.
