Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

The Ali segment had one of my favorite Drunk History gags, where the storyteller just gets caught up repeating the same phrase and the actor gets crazier and crazier. Funches sold it well, but the gold standard is still Matt Besser screaming about Abe Lincoln being an ape man.

The super lovely cellophane stained glass in the prohibition segment. They make the re-enactments so good, that stupid touch really got me. Bravo set designer.

Is it just me or do the reenactments look (intentionally) cheaper this season? It seems like they're almost going for a sweded movie look.

I've played it...you pretty much just expect to drink vodka every time so it's less about a shock from sudden liquor than it is occasionally being disappointed/relieved by water.

I'd tried to sell my dad on drunk history before, but he wasn't digging it too much. He randomly popped on this episode today, and it closing with Fischer was perfect since he's a total chess nut.

My favorite story was the pinball one though, crazy that it was ever banned as gambling. How would people even gamble on it? Why not ban every carnival game?

"Oh, I would do anything for a Klondike Bar......except Wikipedia.....my DINGUS." is probably my favorite line that's ever been uttered on this show.

The "They took....his....p....peanuts?" was magical, too. Rich Fulcher forever.

I always wonder why the US is so slow when it comes to things like gay marriage, gun reform, rights for minorities etc. and then I find out things like this and completely understand.

Early pinball machine didn't have bumpers so it was mostly random which led to it being used for gambling. The original prohibition wasn't that bad an idea, they just didn't revisit the issue soon enough.

There was also a thing where pinball machines used to actually payout stuff like tickets you could redeem for items/money.

Yeah I was reading about Pachinko where you buy balls and then win balls. It's illegal to trade the balls for money. You use your ball winnings to get special prizes.

Then you go next door and trade the special prizes for cash. Well done, Japan.

I'm kinda sad Nintendo didn't get covered during Games. They've got a long history and I'd love to see it touched on the show eventually. Maybe they'll do Video Games in the future.
