Best line ever: " I'm squirting dust. "

[@beaunorton4092]

++-or worst depends how ya look at it lol

[@davidbryden7904]

I'd always heard it as "...'poofing' dust" , but it works.

[@jofez27]

LOL! How Will Ferrell expressed it was priceless! 🤣

[@mosinmanyum1403]

did 007 ever say that? i think not in the name of liberty!

[@wallykimball8829]

That shot of Will Ferrell in the little toy plane is probably the best scene in this whole show

[@Pedro-tl7jg]

I disagree. The sneezing guy is the best one.

[@procuber6394]

@@Pedro-tl7jg yes i tottaly agree🤣🤣

[@jordanwicinski2141]

Definitely some of Spielbergs best work

[@FOREVERGREEN_MUSIC]

“This is great!”

[@divannimendez6064]

😄😄💖😄

[@blackoceancreativeuniverse]

I always thought that the Roald Dahl biopic needed Will Ferrell as Roald and black Roosevelts. It makes perfect sense.

[@jonathandenham4332]

[@tonyjackson4078]

I do think it's funny Harriet Tubman pretty much turned into Samuel L. Jackson personality wise midway through the story.

[@notcompletelynormal]

I feel like she hit that gear eight seconds in 😂

[@siameseninja24]

@@notcompletelynormal Exactly. She was hysterical.

[@spitfireBoon]

Or maybe Samuel L. Jackson is just trying to be like Harriet Tubman 🧐

[@exile6129]

im just laughing that she has a cross tattooed the wrong way

[@Pizzameister1]

i had to actually pause during the part about the kkk because of Mark sneezing the whole time mixed in with the scenes and I was eating and i was just spitting out food because i could not control my laughter xD

[@blistabliss]

He dry heaving but homie keeps saying bless you so they could use the footage I think lol

[@dsandoval9396]

at that part right now, LOOOOOOOOL!

[@AlexDogwalker1234]

Octavia as Harriet Tubman is an institution.

[@ecllipsedeloach65]

Gangsta too. 😆

[@deionamuhammad4102]

"They didn't know who she was but they knew she had a limp which was embarrassing for Virgina cause she didn't think she had a limp. So, that's a very sad of the story" 8:08

[@justingomez8149]

Excuse me but how is Harriet Tubman NOT taught about as a spy... Holy fk that woman was an absolute BOSS

[@Ohgodpleaseno]

She was to me back in early 2000’s for fourth grade

[@rejackzimmerman6165]

I learned all about the underground RR in the 2nd grade

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

"I don't know how to respond to that except I agree". Pretty much the best possible response.

[@uremawifenowdave]

Ian Fleming wrote James Bond. It’s said that he based the character on Christopher Lee and his time in the OSS.

[@skywizard3148]

James Bond is probably based on Dusko Popov. Really awesome, and incredible story if you are interested. Peace

[@lordofthemound3890]

Fleming himself said that he based the character James Bond on a number of commando and spy types that he knew during the war. Not one particular person. But most of James Bond‘s personal traits, likes and dislikes, are actually Fleming’s.

[@Ian-mj4pt]

More on Cpt Mason I think

[@loke-miru]

Also, Vespera from "Cassino Royale" was based Cristina Grenville, British Intelligence spy who was Polish (her real name was Krystyna Skarbek)

[@DustinBlaise]

15:25 Sugar Lyn narrating about Mata Hari was too cute and funny! XD

[@welshzecorgi7903]

Her adorable voice coming out of the dude is the best.

[@GoHazyQuietSexAngel]

His eyebrow raise was equivalent when I realized how instantly "simp" I was 😂

[@user-pk2nr2ir9k]

Nah... She annoying af

[@KINDaf]

​@@user-pk2nr2ir9koh my! Why are you telling the whole internet that you're not getting s3xually satisfied.

[@acgonzales7]

The sneezing part of the KKK episode was great LOL

[@ChrisGWGreen]

That mouth-to-mouth scene! I'm hurting from laughing! 😂😂

[@bannedtoday3997]

Will Ferrell has been my reference point for what humor is for more than a decade

[@999titu]

Explain

[@Herzyyyy]

Kinda sad

[@excidius6283]

I feel bad for people who never watch stand up comedy and only has mainstream movies. Lol. Specially in improv when they try their new jokes.

[@Monk-Amani.]

Huh?

[@Herzyyyy]

@@excidius6283 Exactly, some of my favs are Dave Chappell, Bill Burr, Patrice O’Neal and even Louis CK are funnier than any mainstream movie ‘comedian’ character. But oldsters I think don’t care about stand up.

[@ike134]

Laughed so hard when he said I'm being F from one end of the room to the other🤣🤣🤣

[@jonathanpeterson1984]

I love that Mark's sneezing fit made it into the reenactment. So much lol

[@rarespiritwendy]

Harriet Tubman…the guns then were like S@#& and they are all dodging the bullets…the whole Harriet Tubman segment is epic! Great narrative ☺️She was the bomb!

[@karatexperience]

I love that Vanessa always gets to play badass women.

[@PJownsyoursoul]

That Harriet Tubman story killed me. Hahaha

[@hrmtty]

The sneezing fit was the best part 🤧

[@aarongreen7556]

[@ag2424]

This show is so much fun to watch, I enjoy them all. But I absolutely love Sugar Lynn Beard, she's just adorable and cracks me up!! She's the best ❣️😂

[@brunofaetten894]

2:26: "How British am I?" First time I watched that episode, I was literally punching the air in celebration. And now he's joined Team Coco, more and more people are catching on to the peculiar brilliance of Matt Gourley. Man, this show is great.

[@iGaveLiaHIV]

[@iconoclast137]

have you ever seen the animated version of the M sketch when he keeps asking bond about how british he is? it's amazing

"In the southern United States in the 1940s... ...there was a pervasive sense of... ...racism." Hugely underrated line.

[@AmosAmerica]

This Stetson guy is an unsung American Hero!

[@since1876]

Crissle West made Harriet Tubman into the ultimate badass 😂

[@toolguyslayer1]

18:42 so they basically paid her with the hot money from the jewelry that they stole from her they tried to pay her with her own money wow

[@AshleyRobinson-os1xb]

I'd like to go drinking with Sugar Lyn Beard, so funny 😂

Sugar Lynn could tell the story sober and you wouldn’t have known the difference😂

This is pure ART of brilliance!

[@solartech7785]

Very clever. I like how you have actors playing people who were supposed to be living ( now dead ) in history. It’s very trippy.
