History of the World, Part II is an American sketch comedy limited television series written and produced by Mel Brooks, Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen.
The series serves as a sequel to the 1981 film written and directed by Brooks, with sketches parodying events from different periods of human history and legend.

The website's consensus reads: "Nick Kroll takes up the torch from Mel Brooks and does him proud with an all-star sketch series that's just as uproariously funny — and as hit-and-miss — as the original motion picture.
