Drunk History (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=303022)

This show is good enough to have it's own thread for weekly discussion.
I tried to append it to a Tesla thread when Tesla -v- Edison was the subject, but it continues to be a Tesla -v- Edison war.

Have you never seen Drunk History? If not, I envy you. So much fun. Look for it at youtube, funnyordie and/or comedycentral.

Basically, they liquor up someone who is passionate about some aspect of history, usually a comedian who's a good story teller. Then when they're good and drunk, they record them telling the story. Then they call on actors and other celebs to re-enact the narration exactly, with all the mumbles and stumbles and asides of the drunken storyteller.

There's a good 15-20 pieces on F-or-D from before comedy central picked it up as a series, and then two seasons on comedy central.

A personal favorite is Superman infiltrates the KKK, because Jason Ritter is hilarious in the role of Superman. I'll let you find out why.

Funny

my absolute favorite was the one about President William Henry Harrison.
so many great lines:

Super Pneumonia
Sick as Shhhhhit
These are like 1820's doctors, they don't now anything.
Here...have some leeches and let these snakes bite you for a little bit.
Happy Mother's Day

the one with Winona Ryder was pretty great too.

I truly love this show. Funny, and you actually learn things.

I like the sense of intimacy and potential for randomness.

I know it's scripted, but getting them drunk ups the ante of you getting the straight scoop on people's opinions

One of my favorite candid moments was Jen Kirkman rambling about Mary Dyer, then getting hilariously passionate and poetic about her gravesite [I won't spoil it, but it brings laughter and tears every time].

"....and he wrote horrible music"

BACK TONIGHT - With Paget Brewster!!

I've caught a few episodes. it wasn't too bad. But are they really drinking and getting drunk, or are they just acting like they are?

Oh yeah, they're drinking it up.

There are edits, But I haven't ever seen anything where they were hamming it up artificially.

Back with a vengeance.

There's some funny stuff in there. I like the technique of using the comedian's voiceovers in the re-enactments. The show really needs the cussing; it's not as good cleaned up.
