What Nobody Told You About Drunk History

[@GrungeHQ]

What was your favorite episode of Drunk History?

[@johnnyhourihan8834]

The Episode where ?uestlove explains the origins of hip hop and scratching. He's normally such a composed person, it's hilarious to see him coming to terms with his drunkenness throughout the story's telling.

[@117Pinkyflower]

Drunk History AND Tosh.o _should_ be picked up by Netflix! If the older season do really well, than look into renewing them. If not, nothing lost. After all TV with it's Ads & horrible censorship regulations, has killed itself. So, let's all continue to ghost it, until it leaves us alone for good. 😂😂

History Channel didn't want to pick this up because the word "drunk" was in the title. This is a channel that prominently features a show which claims that space aliens influenced every major and creative step for humanity as well as having tons of programing which has nothing to do with history. But if the title references drugs, "Oh no, we just can't have it!" Who is at the helm over there?

BTW, a little historical lesson for the channel: "5 or 6 sheets to the wind" is a terrible hyperbole.

Honestly, I’m not too upset about Drunk History being cancelled. They had one episode that was super incorrect, so every time I’d watch it after that, I’d wonder how correct it was.
