I

If you grew up in the '80s and have a shred of appreciation for Mel Brook's comedy style you will love this, after all I have been waiting around 40 years for this and it doesn't disappoint! Just realize it's not a history class, nor is it for the politically touchy on either side of the fence, you know who you are!

This is a show that breaks the rules and will have you on the floor laughing if you have a sense of humor and don't take things too seriously (and are up on your history and pop culture, I know, really tough ask). I mean the Hitler glitterstache durring the Hitler on Ice, and the Jackrasp skit had me in stitches on the floor, complete with J. Knoxville and Jason Acuña (aka Wee Man)! Definitely took comedy to the next level with this one, and I'm sure making up for lost time!

It was hard to say a single skit took a wrong step on this one, from the Romonov twitter skit to U. S. Grant just trying to catch a buzz by going on a "secret mission" to West Virginia thanks to Lincoln, it was all just brilliant!

I absolutely loved History Of The World Part 1. So I was stoked to see that "Part 2" was being made. So disappointing to find that in the entire first episode, there were 2 times when I chuckled at the jokes.

I will say that it's fantastic that so many stars signed up for this. Johnny Knoxville was mildly amusing as Rasputin. Of course Danny DeVito was awesome as Czar Nicholas.

I was happy to see that Mel Brooks had a throwback from the original with Hitler On Ice. A shame it wasn't funny in the slightest.

I'll finish watching the first season, but I don't hold high hopes for the rest of the episode.

The difference between this in the original is one particularly important thing. The original was hilarious. This is barely funny. I have to see when I heard this is happening. I thought it was a joke. And there's a lotta good talent involved for sure but I just felt like everything was played so community theater. It just didn't work for me. Very disappointing sequel and the length didn't help at all. Whose idea was it to make a miniseries based on a two hour movie? I should've kept it more short and concise so only the Beth stuff was included. I think that would've helped a lot. Instead they let a lot of crap stay in that should've been edited out. Not recommended.

History of the World: Part 1 was great and I love everything that Mel Brooks does. I miss the days of slapstick comedy... Anything Mel, Naked Gun, Airplane, etc... I'm not sure why people are so disappointed by this?! You can't make the same Mel Brooks shows these days because y'all are too sensitive. I think this is a great swan song for Mel. He took all of his humor and incorporated the top comedians to put their own style into it. Just enjoy it and have fun! It'd be great to see another Naked Gun or Airplane. Not a remake, but a continuation. Anyways, I thought this was fun and funny. Don't take yourselves so seriously. You're not real film critics.

I can't believe Mel Brooks put his name on this. What happened to Mel? Did he not read the script or watch this at all?

Well, what he have here is a very bad sequel to a super beloved comedy movie. Unfortunately, it does not deliver much on the comedy or humor, but, it delivers smut of cursing by the truck load.

Certainly not a decent comedy for the family. I really wouldn't call it a comedy for anyone decent to be honest.

Oh well, Mel Brooks sure dropped the ball... BIG TIME!

This is nowhere near the level of his previous works like Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, History of the World part I, etc. I predict this show won't last long and will quickly be forgotten. Another great franchise destroyed.
