Both History Of The World, Part I and History Of The World, Part II are both classic entries in the Mel Brooks comedy canon, but as two of his only connected projects, which one is better? Released in 1981, History Of The World, Part I is a sketch comedy film that explores what different periods in history might have really been like through Brooks’ unique lens. Though Part I ends with a trailer for Part II, the comedy movie’s follow-up didn’t come out for another 40 years, when History Of The World, Part II finally released as a Hulu TV series, which manages to be a fitting and hysterical sequel.
