The first historian decides your embarrassing moments belong in a book. Forever.
A comedy sketch about the guy who invented history and immediately put himself in charge of what goes in it. Apparently, āplease donāt write that downā is not how this works.
Learning from the past also comes up. Nobody seems interested.

I thought for sure Ryan was going to end that with the Rafiki joke from The Lion King where he hits Simba and says "It doesn't matter, it's in the past!"

Funny enough there was a historian in China I think that recorded an emperor falling off his horse with him saying don't write that down.
So the first bit makes me wonder if that was a reference.

The only historically inaccurate detail in this sketch is that there is a giant cliff in the middle of a suburban park.

Wait, at time of punch I count that Ryan has 3 arms.

"The word history comes from the ancient Greek word historia, which means "inquiry" or "knowledge gained from inquiry." It evolved to refer to the accounts of past events and narratives constructed from such inquiries."

I was about to mention that aliens can't swim in space since their is no medium to swim in, but then I figured out that since I can hear what the ad-stronaut is saying it means there is a medium in this specific space, so never mind.

Really surprised you didn't go the Lion King route after the punch. "Why did you punch me??" – "What does it matter? It's in the past?"
