The Fascinating Lives of Famous Writers (feat. Will Ferrell & Kirsten Dunst) - Drunk History

[@tyffaneelavely8087]

HOW COULD U POSSIBLY CANCEL THIS SHOW?? It's one of my favorite shows *of all time.* If it's because of the pandemic, then just put it on pause. Don't cancel your best show...Are you guys insane? I would rather you cancel ANY other show on CC.

[@Bsmiley333]

I agree wholeheartedly. Way too good to go out this way. A show of this quality has got to get picked up by one of the big streaming services. Let's hope so at least. Best Cleopatra and Joan of Arc, EVER.

[@melissasaint3283]

NO!!!! THEY'RE CANCELING IT?!?!!!

[@2GoatsInATrenchCoat]

Pretty much everything else on comedy central is trash. That's probably why they're canceling it. The show doesn't fit for the target main audience that comedy central has built up

[@melissasaint3283]

@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat Like Adult Swim. 20 years ago it was amazing stuff. And then gradually it became more and more lowest common denominator, cheapest-to-animate trash.

[@BananaPhoPhilly]

@@melissasaint3283 Adult Swim's animations have a much higher production quality on average now than when the network began. However, Aqua Teen Hunger force, from season 1 in 2000 until its end, was animated entirely in Adobe After Effects and had more soul than almost anything made by AS these days. Venture Bros and Superjail are the exceptions and had quality hand-drawn animation especially for the early days of Adult Swim, but most of the stuff on the network was _very_ low budget back then (12 ounce mouse, perfect hair forever, Space Ghost, etc.). I'm pretty sure Venture Bros and Superjail were cancelled specifically because it costed so much to animate every episode. Now Rick and Morty, Mr. Pickles, and other bland cookie-cutter cartoons and shows are all Adult Swim has to offer and they are becoming mainstream and lame. AS lost what made it crazy and new in the first place and it seems like it's becoming Comedy Central's little brother as opposed to its own unique thing. Ballmastrz actually is pretty good though and I hope it keeps going, but still doesn't have animation as good as Superjail sadly. Honestly after Adult Swim cancelled their most popular show in years, World Peace, I had a feeling the network would inevitably decline

[@Bsmiley333]

Let's hope Netflix or some other streaming service picks up this hit that CC is throwing out in the trash.

12:15 I was like "wow! Agatha Christie really does look like Kirsten Dunst!" and then I realized that obviously it's just a picture of Kirsten Dunst. I'm drunk.

[@Sindollx666x]

Hahaha that's adorable!

[@HTNPSullivan]

So, Kirsten Dunst (Agatha Christie) and Jesse Plemons (the police investigator), (and as Edgar Allan Poe), are married in real life. And are currently in an amazingly intense movie called Power of the Dog (2021) as husband and wife. The movie also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, and an actor you've probably seen a dozen times in other movies but won't recognize in this one, Kodi Smit-McPhee. Just sharing a bit of fun trivia.

[@JohnFoley1701]

I would like to see some making of footage of the actors trying to lip sync all the drunken ramblings.

Roald Dahl also wrote Matilda. I loved that. It was also the first full book I read in Spanish when I learned. ☺️

[@AllStraysAreWelcome]

Drunk History videos teach me more about these people than high school did.

[@winebox]

Jennifer Coots Drunk History reminds me of when my dad would tell me historical anecdotes. He would put the little bit of human quirks and foibles that drunk history does. Things like that make you want to read more about something and realize that current events are just history happening in real time. Although we don’t really know behind the scenes stuff until decades later.

[@karmagirl314]

They mention BFG and The Witches for Dahl but not Matilda?

The Bit were Roals Dahl Crashes and the does fly is a bit missleading. The crash occured on 19 September 1940, when flying a Gloster Gladiator. By Aptil 1941 he was Fit and flying Hawker Hurricanes. In Greece. One of only 18 RAF aircraft in Greece. When the Germans invaded Greece. On the 15th of April he shoot down a JU 88. On the 16th of April he shoot down a JU 88. On the 20th of April during the Battle of Athens the remaing 12 Hurricanes attack upto 150 German Aircraft, a mix of JU 87 and JU 88 with cover from Bf 109 and Bf 110, He was given a cradit of a kill. In May a Vichy Potez 630 and on the 15 June 1941 a JU 88. It was only after this was he invalided back home, when his headaches became to much. So he was a Fighter Ace, Spy, Author.
