Drunk History

Learning about American history can sometimes be boring, but thankfully—like most things—it can be made a lot more interesting when a drunk guy is explaining to you! These videos have been around for a while, but I would be doing you all a disservice if I didn't share them.

Drunk History gets really wasted guys to explain how our forefathers did some cool stuff, which is then reenacted by some pretty funny people like Michael Cera and Jack Black. The clips are a little long, but you MUST watch them the whole way through.

Here's my favorite one, where Jack Black as Ben Franklin discovers electricity. PLEASE hang in there and watch until the dude spills his drink. Also, there is barfing (but he's ok if you keep filming.)



Here's Michael Cera as Alexander (not George) Hamilton in his famous duel with Aaron Burr.



Horray for learning!
