Drunk History is a series of videos that originated on FunnyorDie.com, then was picked up by Comedy Central in 2013, becoming a television series.
The premise is that Derek Waters finds comedians, gets them drunk, and has them narrate and act out historical events to the best of their abilities, which explains the name.
