From the dawn of man to the distant future, mankind's evolution (or lack thereof) is traced. Often ridiculous but never serious, we learn the truth behind the Roman Emperor, we learn what really happened at the Last Supper, the circumstances that surrounded the French Revolution, how to test eunuchs, and what kind of shoes the Spanish Inquisitor wore....

Leave your thoughts about History of the World: Part I.
| IGNR.L. ShafferHistory of the World: Part I might not be the best effort from Brooks, but it still remains one of his crowning jewels – a testament to bravado irreverent humor and biting wit. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyBrooks proved that increasing the vulgarity level doesn't necessarily translate into more laughs. Gag after gag falls flat in this potty-mouthed dud. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsThe fact that there has been no Part 2 is ample proof that God hates us all. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldAn entertaining mishmash of skits which finds Mel Brooks back in lively form, both for better and for worse. The only consistent thing about this burlesque miscellany, which incorporates skits about the Dawn of Man, Moses, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Inquisition and the French Revolution, is its inconsistency. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonHearing some of those old, beloved one-liners again made me smile, but they did not have the power to make me laugh anew. |
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyDirty jokes, some sparkle in uneven Mel Brooks classic. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottDespite cameos by many superior comic actors and well-known celebrities, this episodic would-be laughfest comes up wanting as many of Brooks' elaborate gags fall flat. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA rambling, undisciplined, sometimes embarrassing failure from one of the most gifted comic filmmakers around. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanHistory of the World, Part I-which has no sequel-spoofs multiple genres in this anthology showing that there are no limits to the mind of writer-director Mel Brooks. |
| NewsweekJack KrollThe movie is so sour that its humor is often undermined, because so many of the jokes are either mean-spirited or scatological, or both. Women are either explicitly predatory or stupidly decorative, and homosexuals are made fun of regularly. Bathroom jokes are everywhere. Flamboyantly bad taste, which Mr. Brooks raised to the level of supreme wit in his ''Springtime for Hitler'' number in ''The Producers,'' is this time just bad. |
