A web series from Rooster Teeth, makers of Red vs. Blue and RWBY. Historical figures talk about history. Can be watched here. It lasted six episodes, webcast between November 22, 2011 and January 6, 2012.

Tropes used in Past Cast include:

• Adolf Hitler: Second episode.
• Affably Evil: Hitler
• America Saves the Day: Averted. Russians are quite distinctly named as the people attacking Hitler's bunker.
• And the Fandom Rejoiced: Joel Heyman reprising his role as Adolf Hitler from the Captain America video for the second episode.
• Anachronism Stew: In the Julius Caesar episode, Julius has ordered and begun eating some Little Caesar's pizza. By extension, the entire series qualifies for this since every individual featured wouldn't have even known what the Internet is since it didn't exist in their time period.
• Bad Boss: Hitler screams at some poor soldier who sacrificed his life for him.
• Cute Mute: Pocahontas.
• Dawson Casting / Younger Than They Look: Pocahontas is only twelve, and played by a woman in her late 20s.
• Digging Yourself Deeper: John Smith's attempts to placate Mr. Hontas with a feast is not going well...

John Smith: *after sneezing into a blanket and handing it to Mr. Hontas* I'm sure we can work out this smallpox-- Small problems...

• Dirty Old Man: John Smith.
• Driven to Suicide: Hitler, obviously.
• Double Entendre: John Smith fails at these.

John Smith: I'd like her to land on my Plymouth Cock. John Smith: I'd like to poke-her-hotass, if you know what I mean.

• Hypocritical Humor:

Adolf Hitler: Who would not want to work for such a nice person as me?

• Offhand Backhand: Abraham Lincoln does a firearm variation of this to a would-be assassin. This is ironic, considering how he died...
• Stupid Sexy Flanders: Adolf Hitler, as a result of being played by Joel Heyman.
• This Is for Emphasis, Bitch: Lincoln, after taking out an assassin with a rifle: "THAT'S RIGHT, BITCH! I'M PRESIDENT!"
• Wham! Line:

"Mr. Hontas": How. John Smith: Oh, look, one of the savages is trying to speak! You know, they only have brains the size of dogs. "Mr. Hontas": How can you do this? "John Smith": Every position possible. "Mr. Hontas": Do you know how many summers have passed since her birth? "John Smith": No, but I've seen her full moon. "Mr. Hontas": Twelve. "John Smith": Uh oh. This is new information. *to Pocahontas, offscreen* TWELVE?! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
