History's Craziest Stories From the 1930s - Drunk History

[@jasobres]

Comedy Central made a huge mistake cancelling this show. Sure, it was because of the pandemic, but they had already filmed all the storytellers and were just about to start filming the reenactments, which is not cool.

[@Sbannmarie]

Why aren’t they bringing it back???

[@Delulubooklover]

Somebody should start a petition to get it going again

[@pinkishhaven5158]

@@Delulubooklover agreed. This is awesome

[@christopherbic7688]

Today is my first day of discovering these awesome shows.

[@Catlover9644]

ooooooooo

[@coolgirl312]

Please bring this show back. I miss it

[@abbigaildavisson2214]

Another cool fact about Hedy is she also worked on the very early stages of the technology that would later become LTE (Long Term Evolution) that stuff that allows us to use our phones and laptops and tablets and everything today. She said she learned about it by sitting in meetings with her husband trying to just “look pretty and act dumb” all while listening and learning and using it to advance her work. Total badass

[@placebojesus5652]

She blew me too so that was cool

[@Enrij]

Well in reality they had a team work on it 24/7. As Steve Jobs, he didnt build anything. Hes team made the IPAD.

[@KidFresh71]

I legit love learning about history in this way.

[@shellyswanner3069]

I miss this show so much. Wish they'd bring it back.

[@archrp7868]

I love that they made Al Capone be the actor who plays Boyle from Brooklyn 99 cause thats all i can see him as, Boyle

[@megancarroll]

Idk why that random messy room w the paper towel during the fight scene cracked me up so much!😊

[@philcourteney4328]

Anyone else waking for a hearty ol’ “NINE NINE!!!” during those first two stories? 😂

[@reeseholland8717]

PLEASE BRING THIS BACK

[@kengrimsley4172]

This show has always been pure genius...and generally historically accurate!

[@blackbird5634]

Heddy helped create radio high speed frequency burst transmissions. That meant taking a long message, and sending it in a micro-second so the enemy couldn't catch or read it.

[@CurseOfZeSnail]

The fact that Terry Crews is 4 times the size of Joe Is hilarious to me. This show was fantastic. We need it back.

[@missladyanonymity]

Is he?

[@garybowler5946]

Penicillin wasn't available until 1945 after WW2. So Al could not get a shot, but they did have some horrendous cures, thus his apprehension.

[@89creighton]

That nut shot had me crying

The Navy completely dismissed Hedy Lamaar’s skills, asked her to sell war bonds instead.

[@michaelterrell5061]

We needed war bonds at the time.

[@brit1215]

​@@michaelterrell5061Two things are true. The Navy did not use her design, perhaps because they didn't understand how useful it could be or didn't have the technology to advance it. They stole her patent and labeled it top secret, assuming it was possibly even a trick from a spy. So instead she raised $25 Million in war bonds - $343 Million in today's dollars.

[@marthaw7664]

If it wasn’t for Hedy Lamarr, we would not have the Internet! She was a genius

[@gnr311182pj]

Thank you Hedy…I’d never talk to anyone without an ear piece. Obviously wireless… Nothing I can’t stand more than having to talk on the phone but if I do there is no way I want to actually have to hold that phone against my face to speak into it. Thank you so very very much

[@moustachemoe]

Have you seen Hedy Lamarr? You wanna snag a fox like that don’t buy her flowers. Don’t buy her jewelry. Get that girl a lab.

Fritz Mandl was Jewish too. They should have said something about that. It makes things weirder that he was Jewish and working with the Nazis.

[@kenster8270]

So was Stella Goldschlag 🤷

[@biscuitninja]

Terry Crews is awesomeness! This show deserves more funding! Hedy Lamarr! I do work associated with it. Lol!

50 or so years later, Michael Sphinx pulled the same thing as Joe Louis. It's still one of, if not the shortest fights of Mike Tyson's career at approximately 45 seconds.

Al Capone was not so fortunate to have penicillin. On 15 March 1945, Penicillin could be made available over the counter in US pharmacies

[@deviantash]

Watching the Al Capone story the day after 11/5/2024 really makes it hit different for some reason.

Hey guys. Hey. Helloooo. You need to bring this back.

[@nacmegfeegle2310]

I Love all of these.

[@laurabeane8862]

Not to be Chauvinistic, but I've known men like Al Capone regarding their various "Wounds" ("This Blister will eventually callus". "No, that's a Weeping Sore. See a Doctor)

[@veggigoddess]

It's not chauvinistic if it's true LOL I've never known a man who wasn't like that. Also never know when a man who wasn't terrified of needles to the point where they just avoided getting any vaccinations

[@Nolroa]

​@@veggigoddess To be fair, in Capone's time, STD treatments weren't just a shot of penicillin (which wasn't as widely available before WWII) they were painful treatments. Perhaps he avoided them because sometimes people being treated for venereal diseases were seen as outcasts by society.

[@keriannmeyers1171]

Sometimes i wonder if people still get syphilis to the degree they used to like Al Capone, etc. Like stage 100, eats your brain syphilis.

[@ashpie22]

Hear me out the second guy is Al Copone’s reincarnation and is just cringing at his past mistakes 😅 hey bring this back! Or someone else take over.

[@michaelfabian3036]

🌟😇🤣😂😎☝️A wonderfully GENIUS concept that had its moments, BUT 🤢👎💩🤦🏻‍♀️😝 sorry Comedy Central: painstakingly omitting the swear words is mainstream, uptight hubris bullshit~takes the crucial humor & spontaneity right out if it, FFS! Gotta find another place to watch the REAL deals, like on Netflix?!

[@breakinganddecorating8108]

Hulu has it

[@wenwilloughby8197]

Except unlike Netflix this here is being presented for free, which means Comedy Central is probably counting on video monetisation to pay for this - because someone somewhere has to pay for this, which means to qualify for monetisation they have to (kinda) cut the swears - though you can still hear exactly what's being said. So you can either get this free version with some half-assed bleeps, or you can watch the whole thing with swear words by paying a streaming channel. Either works. But it's not cool to shout at the people giving us free stuff if this is the only way they can do it.
