Ep 3. Game Changers

In Drunk History season 5 episode 3 titled "Game Changers," the show explores the stories of several individuals who changed history in one way or another. First, comedian Tiffany Haddish tells the story of Rose Valland, a woman who worked at the Louvre during World War II and secretly kept track of the art stolen by the Nazis. Next, actor Will Ferrell narrates the story of how a group of women in the 1970s fought against the sexist policies of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

In another segment, actor Evan Rachel Wood recounts the story of how Edward Bernays, the nephew of Sigmund Freud, revolutionized advertising and invented the concept of "public relations." Comedian Allan McLeod then tells the story of how a group of African American hotel workers in Memphis, Tennessee organized a strike in 1968 that led to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Finally, actress Mandy Moore tells the story of the rise of John Brinkley, a quack doctor in the early 20th century who became famous for his bizarre and dangerous surgeries.

As with every episode of Drunk History, each story is told by a drunk narrator and re-enacted by famous actors, often with hilarious results. Throughout the episode, the drunk narrators struggle to pronounce names, mix up facts, and generally struggle to tell a coherent story. Meanwhile, the actors playing historical figures act out their parts while lip-syncing to the slurred words of their drunken narrators.

Despite the comedic tone of the show, Drunk History often delves into serious topics and tells powerful stories about individuals who made a difference in the world. In "Game Changers," the show focuses on people who challenged the status quo and changed history in their own way, whether it was by fighting against the Nazi regime, breaking down sexist barriers in sports, or revolutionizing the world of advertising.

Overall, Drunk History season 5 episode 3 is a hilarious and heartwarming tribute to the people who dared to make a difference. The drunken narrators and talented actors bring these stories to life in a way that is both entertaining and enlightening, making it a must-watch for fans of history and comedy alike.
