40 years after his very funny movie History of the World Part 1, for which Brooks never intended to make a sequel, comes History of the World Part 2. K and I tried to watch it tonight. After 20 minutes we changed the channel.
Part 2 does not come close to Part 1. Part 2 isn't very funny. The gags are based on stupidity rather than cleverness. Considering this may be Brooks last work, it is a tragedy that it is so bad.
Of course, this is just MHO, but I have been a Mel Brooks fan for decades and loved many of his movies. I wish he had not let himself be talked into making HOTW Part 2.
Have you seen HOTW Part 2? What did you think of it?
Is there a sequel you wish had never been made?

Hmmm, I do remember Part 1 and it was great. If I saw Part 2, I don't recall it at all.

We watched the first three episodes and thought they were funny enough. But we like Seth Rogan and Nick Kroll. I would of liked to see more Mel Brooks in it.
