History of the World: Part II
tv·TV-MA·Mar 6, 2023
History of the World: Part II (7/10 woke) swaps races for Jesus and pushes 1619-style oppression via identity politics, turning satire into unfunny virtue-signaling—skip this preachy mess.
"History of the World: Part II" is a sketch comedy series parodying historical and biblical events, but Season 1 heavily incorporates progressive ideology through race-swapped casting, such as black Jesus and Mary Magdalene, alongside recurring sketches featuring figures like Shirley Chisholm and Harriet Tubman promoting narratives of systemic oppression akin to the 1619 Project.
These elements prioritize identity politics, diversity mandates, and anti-white jabs over irreverent humor, transforming Mel Brooks-style satire into preachy virtue-signaling that critics and viewers decry as unfunny pandering. The show's overall woke score of 7/10 reflects this dominance of politically correct constraints, resulting in strained comedy and a middling audience reception.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
