* FunWithSubtitles: If the narrator says something funny while setting the time and place of the action, like "Siberia (which is a real place, by the way)" or "It's, like, two or three in the morning", this will often be echoed by the on-screen dateline caption. Likewise with the arrival in a story of someone like "F***in' President Lincoln". A narrator's slurred speech is also given a subtitle card, like "The Lakotah Indrians".

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.
