DVD Release: Drunk History: Seasons 1 & 2

Today, Paramount is releasing the complete first and second seasons of Comedy Central’s Drunk History on DVD.  Hosted by Derek Waters, and originating as an internet series, the TV show features inebriated comedians retelling classic stories from throughout history, with their drunken narrations playing over reenactments by a cast of famous faces.

With each episode focusing on either a specific state or subject, everyone involved seems to be having fun, even if the premise does wear quite thin.  It’s pretty stupid stuff, but there are a few moments of amusement, and fans of the series will want to check out this nicely packaged set, which features all eighteen episodes from both seasons of the show.

The DVD includes drunk outtakes and extended scenes, as well as sober reveals and a longer version of the First Ladies episode.

Drunks History: Seasons 1 & 2 is 398 minutes and rated 14A.
