Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Eric Stevenson The title of this movie is actually a joke about Sir Walter Raleigh. He wrote a book called "The Historie Of The World" that never had a second part. It's because he was kinda executed. Anyway, I liked this from the beginning with the caveman. It features cavemen learning how to make music by dropping stuff on their foot. I actually myself thought of a joke like that. The Roman Empire segment is half of the film and that really is a weak point. I wanted to see it more evenly distributed. It's not as good as "Young Frankenstein", "Blazing Saddles" (my favorite) or "Spaceballs" but is still enjoyable. I laughed when they mentioned the Romans were crawling around and they literally were! I just love Mel Brooks' voice. As far as anthology movies go, this was quite enjoyable. ***

Takeshi-K If you like a liberal display of toilet humor and sexual innuendo in a silly campy comedy film, this is the movie for you. What makes Mel Brooks' films unique is a sense of good clean fun. In the world of Brooksian comedy, the good are heroic and the nasty get whats coming to them. Brooks pitches popular low brow comedy to the masses and hits every time. This movie is structured around certain famous periods in history starting with caveman days moving on to biblical times, then ancient rome and so on until ending in the 17th century with the rule of King Louis of France.Don't take it seriously and you will be sure to enjoy it.

Rainey Dawn Another great film from the humorous world views of Mel Brooks. This film is a skit comedy. Skits that give us funny and twisted snapshots of world history that most of us are familiar with.With Brooks' film, you can see the comical side of "well history may have happened this way". Who knows; I'm sure the people in our history books may have had some funny accidents like falling off their chair (a la America's Funniest Home Videos) or some other comical moment in their life. Looking at it like this gives Brooks' film a bit more humor and maybe a bit more realistic view of the famous people from history that is painted having no humorous follies. Remember they were only humans after all so "happy accidents" and funny moments could have really occurred to them.8.5/10

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This is a series of sketches(and they're frankly quite hit and miss), detailing(well, spoofing) historical events(I have a feeling the Moses bit is what actually happened if The Old Testament wasn't a collection of poorly written, hateful fiction), starting at the dawn of man and ending with The French Revolution. Other than the longest portion, set in ancient Rome, there is no continuous plot, really. It's a nice satire, with plenty to laugh at, with silly stuff, cleverness, plays on words, smut, some slapstick, crude material, weirdness. We do get the, for the period mandatory, annoying "sassy black dude"(on the plus side, it makes fun of Christianity). This is quite sexually suggestive, and features some rather nice cleavage. It's *very* Jewish and Brooksian. There are a few ill-shot and/or –edited bits, though on the whole, it is put together well(in spite of the occasional obvious matte painting). The central musical number(about the Inquisition!) isn't half bad. There is a bunch of mild violence and disturbing content, and a moderate amount of strong language. I recommend this to any fan of Mel. 7/10
