''Drunk History'' is a series that originated on [=FunnyorDie.com=], then was picked up by Creator/ComedyCentral in 2013.
On ''Drunk History'', series creator Derek Waters finds comedians, gets them ''really'' shitfaced, and has them narrate historical events to the best of their abilities. Their narration is acted out, with the actors lip-synching all the dialogue, including mild slip ups. The recreation is sometimes interrupted when the narrator needs to remember what they were saying, or puke, or lie on the ground.
The [=FunnyorDie=] episodes are one short long. The Creator/ComedyCentral episodes are three shorts long, with each episode taking place in a different city and the stories related to that city's history.
The original show can be found [[http://www.funnyordie.com/drunkhistory here]]. Comedy Central's page for the show can be found [[http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/drunk-history here]].
