Detailed Bias Analysis

Primary
Drunk History is rated as neutral because its central thesis is to provide comedic entertainment through the reenactment of historical events, rather than to promote any specific political ideology. The show's humor derives from the drunken narration and absurd reenactments, not from a consistent political stance.
Drunk History consistently demonstrates significant DEI through its casting, frequently featuring actors of diverse backgrounds portraying historical figures, often without regard for the historical accuracy of their race or gender. This approach is central to its comedic re-interpretation of history, though the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
Drunk History offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters by regularly featuring historical figures from the community. Despite its comedic format, the show treats their identities as factual and significant, celebrating their contributions and struggles without ridicule. The humor stems from the narration and re-enactments, not from their queer identity, affirming their place in history.
Drunk History features a segment on Christine Jorgensen, a pivotal trans woman. While presented with the show's characteristic comedic narration and re-enactment, the segment highlights her pioneering spirit, agency, and historical impact. The portrayal, despite its humor, ultimately affirms the worth of her life and contributions.
Drunk History frequently features actors portraying real historical figures of the opposite gender for comedic re-enactment, which aligns with the definition of a gender swap.
Drunk History re-enacts historical events using actors to portray real historical figures. The show frequently casts actors of a different race than the documented historical figure, which constitutes a race swap.
The show frequently lampoons historical figures and institutions associated with Christianity, portraying them through the lens of unreliable, drunk narrators who highlight their perceived foolishness, hypocrisy, or cruelty for comedic effect. The narrative offers no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal or nuance.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
