I loved every second of it, I also passed it around my teachers and they all loved it. June 6, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteFunnier than any comedianQuote
These history-as-popular-culture lectures are not only very educational, they are more entertaining than any of the "comedy" DVDs I have seen (although "Triumph the Insult Comic Dog" comes close). I was laughing through most of this while taking note of perhaps the most important point of the series: that "history" is only "based on a true story" and that much of what we "know" about history and current events depends on who runs the best public relations campaign.

Though not for kids, this is a "must see" for history buffs, anyone who likes to laugh. American History will never be the same. There should be more videos like this. If I could make this mandatory material for secondary schools, I would. May 18, 2008

This HBO special is hilarious and educational. However the curse words hinder it's wonderful usage for a high school classroom. April 28, 2008

A great companion to books like "LIES My Teacher Told Me" and I Love Paul Reverre Whether He Rode or Not". It is hard to get kids to read any book let alone an extra history book, this video peaked the intrest of several of my high school student when I showed it to them. Anything that gets them to look at things from another perspective is a big plus and this video certain come from a new angle on many topics in an entertaining way.
