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???

[@queerlemons1919]

Somebody should start a petition to get it going again

[@pinkishhaven5158]

@@queerlemons1919 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

[@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

[@shellyswanner3069]

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

[@KidFresh71]

I legit love learning about history in this way.

[@kengrimsley4172]

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

[@dog9700]

Cast of Brooklyn 99 has entered the chat😂

[@zerowaste7117]

Love that show! I wish it just kept going

[@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?

[@megancarroll]

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

[@izzybeth]

everyone says "bring this show back", no one is thinking of Derek's poor liver

[@reeseholland8717]

PLEASE BRING THIS BACK

[@Sunprism]

Here I am hoping I can watch this show again without Relapsing, Wish me luck!

[@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.

[@Pou1gie1]

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 🤷

[@marthaw7664]

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

[@gaguy1967]

That’s Headley

[@veggigoddess]

​@@gaguy1967it isn't and her actual birth name was Hedwig

[@jenscrunchyvacs7837]

😂 love this show. This is my love learning language🤷‍♀️

[@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.

[@manualgearshift4965]

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

[@michaelterrell5061]

We needed war bonds at the time.

[@biscuitninja]

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

[@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

[@wunkskorks2623]

“It’s Headly…”

[@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.

[@szaporta]

Lisa Tepes: I endorse this statement

[@dreamcatcher44]

Sheer genius! Talent and facts galore!

[@WildEvents522]

"SUPER SUPER AWESOME FUNNY VIDEO!!! 🔥I love the way you put it together!! I think this is one of the best ones yet !! ❤ Looking forward to your next one! It's awesome!!

[@philcourteney4328]

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

[@susanblamire4014]

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

[@joshshields9229]

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.

[@lalauninterrupted2086]

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

[@pietime3554]

Bring this show back

[@nacmegfeegle2310]

I Love all of these.

[@SnarkNSass]

Snarky?? That's my name too🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@user-gn1cl9ix7p]

"That includes space."

[@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.

[@hollybeary]

Moussolini Mc🐱🐱!

[@holycarrotsticks]

lol blowing off dust 13:44 :)

[@emmarose4506]

Bring this back @comedy centrak

[@BooshieWooshie420]

It Joe Lewis Terry from b99?! AND AL CAPONE IS CHARLES?!

[@soundhealingbygene]

Best history show

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

Oh, my gosh, she punched him in the wienie xD

[@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

[@TheAjcatallo]

That nut shot is just so unnecessary lol

[@90klh]

Capone sounds like our ex-President

[@MS-qf7hc]

When confused, I consult…your website. I’m embarrassed but NOT embarrassed. Love facts coupled with comedy/satire/parodies.

[@realcreedthoughts]

Please put Brooklyn nine nine from season 1 on TV

[@water.77]

Wow she does incredible Erkel voice

[@randyklepetko6394]

I've love to host one of these on Jesus. I'd present him as the border town kid that aggravated the authorities with too much love.

I see Boyle

[@AmyRigsbyPhoto]

Babe Zahara (however you spell it) is the name of the golf course I live by

[@asjadqasmi2284]

Terry X Charles Boyle 😭

[@eakherenow]

NO,a woman came up with the idea of busting Capone on tax evasion.

[@Villista619]

How could i have never heard of this lady

[@VZ3W]

Mousolini mc meow meow 😭

[@charlesreidy2765]

Who is the actress playing Hedy Lamar?

[@christinlittle4712]

IMDB says Frankie Shaw

[@acarter9036]

Bones is a Babe lol

[@user-ct2nf6ms7e]

Aeee that was evador Holly Field

[@blahblah6497]

Tesla created wireless technology long before Hedy Lamar.

[@Archanakoul]

Love it. Didn’t know about babe.

[@SUPER_WOLFMOON]

IMO Howard Hughes's girlfriend's research idea is genius. Here's what works on 🌎+ hey, we live on 🌍=✈️!

Eu oro todos os dias para que uma música nossa estoura 🙏🏼🎼 eu tenho fé, e sei que um dia vai chegar o dia😭😭🙏🏾 🚀

[@AVkick]

Knowing what we know about the US gov. Can we admit that they lobotomized Capone and blamed it on syph?

[@Sunprism]

That last narrator looks exactly like a female ben folds

[@bettywhiteandtheboondockers]

al capone = donald trump

[@JonOroMusic]

Comedy Central more like Anti Comedy Central ammiright??

[@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.
