Drunk History: UK (2015–2017) User Reviews

Very hit and miss...

It completely depends on the comedians telling the stories. One episode could be really funny or have someone get proper bladderd and it's brilliant.

But sometimes I don't even know who they are and sometimes they don't really get into the spirit of the show. Just keep that in mind if you start watching.

It's on Britbox atm so if you already have a subscription it's worth giving a go, but it might be worth cherry picking the episodes with comedians you know and like.

I wanted to like this. I really did. With a degree in both English History and English Lit, I was so looking forward to a bit of inspired, witty, self-deprecating British humor, all in good fun. But alas, it was not meant to be. It was a sincere attempt, no doubt. But it was just not that funny. It really felt like it was all too forced and contrived, particularly on the part of the comedians imparting the stories. I could only sit through a few episodes, then it was back to the original US version. I don't know - maybe Americans are just that much easier to laugh at? Anyway...
