Shows like History of the World: Part II

These shows share a commitment to subverting historical events and contemporary news through irreverent humor. Each series relies on rapid shifts in subject matter and a playful disregard for conventional accuracy to deconstruct familiar cultural narratives.

Expect a collection that favors sketch formats and satirical commentary. Anyone who enjoyed the stylized absurdity found in the sequel to the original film will appreciate the specific comedic rhythm of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver or the playful experimental structure of It’s Florida, Man.
