- TriviaFrom all the segments promised at the end of History of the World: Part I (1981), only the segment "A Viking Funeral" is not included at all in this sequel. In History of the World: Part II (2023), "Hitler on Ice" is featured at the start of the first episode and "Jews in Space" is featured at the end of the eighth episode.
- GoofsIn the Civil War segments, Ulysses Grant and Robert Todd Lincoln go to West Virginia, which is depicted as enemy territory and strictly Confederate. In reality, West Virginia represents 50 counties that chose to leave Virginia in order to stay with the Union. While technically the last slave state added to the Union, it did so with the provision that it would abolish slavery and did so within 18 months. Most of the state was solidly Union. While some of the eastern counties were mixed, the Confederacy were never able to threaten the Union's hold on the state. Grant and Lincoln certainly wouldn't be scared to go there nor would there be a Confederate flag so brazenly hung up in a saloon.

Featured review
Blame the nepotism
Nick Kroll is not a funny actor, nor is he a funny writer.
He is the child of a multibillion dollar family, and boy does it show in this series.
Clearly, Mel Brooks was paid a lot of money in his advanced years in order to get this made with his approval, and his only real involvement was as narrator.
Since all the heavy lifting with a show like this is done thru it's comedic writing, the absence of Mel's writing is sorely felt here. Just not a funny moment to be had.
Yet another IP squeezed to the bone for the sake of nostalgia. This should have been made 30 years ago with much more involvement from Mel Brooks and much less from Nick Kroll.
