The History Of The World, Part I

Mel Brooks brings his one-of-a-kind comic touch to the history of mankind covering the barbaric events from Torah-Judaism, to the French Revolution in a series of episodic comedy vignettes, released in 1981.

The acclaimed funnyman Mel Brooks on an outrageous trip through history, exposes the barbarity of Judaism and Christianity, as what "really" may have happened.

He travel from a crazy spoof of 1979 to the Roman Empire, where Brooks plays a stand-up philosopher in Caesar's Palace, to the French Revolution, while Brooks act as King Louis 16, and the Spanish inquisition, where this time, singing monks and swimming nuns perform fabulous musical numbers.
