Learning + Booze = Drunk History
Drunk History is a film project that involves getting someone really hammered and then filming them while they narrate an actual historical event, in all of their shambling, inchoherant, drunken glory. Their dialogue is then acted out by actors (like Jack Black and Michael Cera) word for word, including any and all hiccups, drunken mumbling and factual errors or what have you. The result is absolutely hilairious, and educational too!
#3 just came out on youtube, which is an inspiring story about one of George Washington’s slaves
This one featuring Jack Black as Ben Franklin, also pretty great.
I absolutely want to do this with my fellow grad students. In stead of historic events we should all explain the plot to our favorite novels.
