The Drunk History series of online videos feature inebriated people sharing their version of specific historical events. The recounted stories are then re-enacted by professional actors while the drunken commentary plays in the background. The series is created by comedian Darek Waters who is also the production assistant for the Sarah Silverman Program. There were 5 episodes of Drunk History uploaded to the web on the comedy website Funny or Die in 2007 and 2008 they starred actors such as Jack Black and Michael Cera.

On February 19, 2010, Drunk History returned as part of the HBO sketch comedy show Funny or Die Presents. The first sketch as part of this revival of the series starred none other than Will Farrell and Don Cheadle as Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas, the sketch was told by a drunken Jen Kirkman telling the civil war era story.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSm9du4IbZQ

As one may suspect when narrating a historical event under the influence the drunken commentators often use profanity in their stories and, in Volume 3, the narrator has a case of the hiccups. The actors include the profanity, drunken slurs and hiccups, as the case may be, in the reenactments, the clips do very well based on the accuracy of the re-enactments.
