History of the World, Part II Review: Mel Brooks Returns and So Do Most of the Classic Laughs

More than 40 years after Moses dropped the three stone tablets of The Fifteen Commandments—"Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!"—in History of the World, Part I, Mel Brooks is back for a long-awaited follow-up to his seminal 1981 film. History of the World, Part II, airing on Hulu on March 6-9, arrives in a "woke" America. But for Brooks, anything and anybody is still fair game. Sort of. After more than six years of heightened political and social unrest, dwindling civil rights, and extreme divisiveness in America, many folks seem to be walking around on eggshells. See the comedy of Chris Rock: Selected Outrage or Sebastian Maniscalco’s Is It Me? for reference.
