History of the WorldWow, this is so f'ing bad! By far the worst spoof I have ever seen. Ever. It's worse than Epic Movie. The jokes are so unfunny that they piss you off for wasting your time.
Here's a 10 minute clip.
Dom DeLuise in History of the World Part 1And here's a list of every gag that appears in that clip, in order. (If I miss anything it's because I'm not sure it was even an attempt at humour)
1) Gay secretary. Not funny.
2) Caeser played by a fat guy. Not funny.
3) Caeser scratches the nuts of secretary. Not funny.
4) People giving Caeser a Nazi-like salute? I dunno. Not funny
5) Caeser blows a kiss to someone in the crowd. Not funny.
6) Caeser burps. Not funny.
7) Caeser scratches own nuts. Not funny.
Caeser farts. Not funny.
9) Caeser spits out food. Not funny.
10) A joke about a guy named Markus Vendictus. Not funny.
11) A joke about cretins in sparta... or Spatans in Crete. Not funny.

14) Caeser burps. Not funny.
15) Caeser spits out food. Not funny.
16) Joke about an alabaster bathing vessel.
17) Curtain #2 joke. Not funny.
18) Treasure bath joke. Not funny.
19) Joke between Vendictus and Nympho. Not funny.
20) Caeser pulls treasure out off his ass and says "wash this" . Not funny.
21) Caeser throws chicken wing. Not funny.
22) Joke about a small lyre and small liar. Not funny.
23) Joke about pouring wine. Not funny.
24) Caeser falls off his chair. Not funny.
25) Caeser calls gay secretary a faggot. Not funny.
26) A comic named Comicus. And a joke about Comicus. Not funny.
27) Musical introduction for Comicus. Not funny.
28) Half a dozen jokes from Comicus. Not funny.
29) Caeser spits out drink when laughing. Not funny.
30) Comicus calls the gay guy a fag. Not funny.
31) Big fat pig joke. Not funny.
32) Comicus bombs. Not funny.
33) Caeser spits out more food. Not funny.
34) Sword handle comes off, gag. Not funny.
35) Another comicus joke. Not funny.
36) Wine spilling joke. Not funny.
37) Caeser pretends to have come up with an idea. Not funny.
38) Joke about fighting to the death during dessert. Not funny.
39) Nympho wipes hand off after Caeser kisses it. Not funny.
40) Slave knocks sword out of Comicus's hand. Not funny.
41) Fight scene, with jokes. Not funny.
So that works out to about 4-5 jokes a minute, 0% of with are funny and the rest of the movie is just as awful.
Mel Brooks laid one helluva an egg here. Men in Tights & Spaceballs were both completely stupid but somewhat funny, but this is just shit. I hated every second of it. I hated it so much that I actually started to hate Mel Brooks. By the end I was rooting for the film to fail and was laughing at how badly he was bombing.
This is such a disappointment. I love parodies. Hell I thought even Date Movie was hilarious! Do yourself a favour and never see this film, no matter how much you like Mel Brooks.

Power and WaterBaraka-like, except the images aren't nearly so brilliant, beautiful, mesmerizing, fascinating or graceful. The music is like something out of Loony Toons. It was a mess and I didn't get anything out of it. The video and sound quality were atrocious but I don't think it would've made any difference.

VerdictIf this match-up were between History of the World Part 1 and a kick in the balls, I would move a kick in the balls on to round two. Power and Water moves on because... I dunno.... if you are on mushrooms or something it might actually be worth watching. Also it's shorter.
But look on the bright side, if you draw P&W in round two it won't have anything to live up to.
