- TriviaFrom all the segments promised at the end of History of the World: Part I (1981), only the segment "A Viking Funeral" is not included at all in this sequel. In History of the World: Part II (2023), "Hitler on Ice" is featured at the start of the first episode and "Jews in Space" is featured at the end of the eighth episode.
- GoofsIn the Civil War segments, Ulysses Grant and Robert Todd Lincoln go to West Virginia, which is depicted as enemy territory and strictly Confederate. In reality, West Virginia represents 50 counties that chose to leave Virginia in order to stay with the Union. While technically the last slave state added to the Union, it did so with the provision that it would abolish slavery and did so within 18 months. Most of the state was solidly Union. While some of the eastern counties were mixed, the Confederacy were never able to threaten the Union's hold on the state. Grant and Lincoln certainly wouldn't be scared to go there nor would there be a Confederate flag so brazenly hung up in a saloon.

Featured review
Not funny.
This is not Mel Brooks Humor.
This is a reboot of The Kroll Show with special guest Wanda Sykes.
There is WAY too much Nick Kroll here.. way, way, way way too much... and I have never found Nick Kroll funny. He just does some silly accent and thinks THAT makes a bit funny.. it doesn't.
The Sykes sketches are far more political in nature than they are funny. Sykes brought her soapbox to the set....
The Bariholtz sketches are okay.. but only because they are OFTEN merely trying to mimic the atmosphere of Blazing Saddles in some way. Several aspects are direct, uhmm, "homages" to Blazing Saddles.
Every single actor in this is also a producer...
I imagine Mel Brooks just "trusting" these people to write what's (permissibly) funny today. After all, MOST of Mel Brooks's films would NEVER be made today because they would be seen as too offensive.
Unfortunately, this series just isn't funny..
.... the Jackass/Johnny Knoxville/Rasputin bits are the only okay aspect throughout the ENTIRE series.. and they are only 2 minutes in length, if that.
If you like Nick Kroll.. you may love this series. If, like me, you find Nick Kroll more annoying than funny, you may hate this series.
