10/13/2023 0 Comments Funny words for drunk![]() I love that story so much, and, boy, did he get drunk - and, boy, did he dress up.īefore his daddy, Tom, pulled on the crimson cardigan of Fred Rogers, Colin Hanks did the same in a Drunk History as sweet as can be. Show and stand-up, and he’s just a great storyteller. Slip of the Tongue: “An integrated casino? I’ve never heard of such a thing - because I’m a racist from the time in which I live!” It’s always a gas to get these bigger names in the narrator’s chair and getting them schnockered, and Tompkins is such an easygoing storyteller, even when fighting off a gargantuan case of the hiccups (and making poor Mort Burke reenact them). Tompkins tells the story of the first race-integrated casino in Vegas history in his now-ubiquitous tuxedo and bow tie. Unlike the hoodie and jeans combo we usually see on the show, Paul F. Jerry O’Connell and Brendan Sexton III are so good in it. ![]() Waters:, I believe, is the most bleeps the show has ever had. Slip of the Tongue: “I can’t fucking die! I got two fuckin’ dicks!” ![]() That’s not what Rasputin would have wanted). Plus, unlike all the other times Romano showed the audience his dick, Waters finally joined in on the fun this time (though the show shamefully cut away, the cowards. The reenactments match Romano’s fast-talking energy, with Jerry O’Connell’s Rasputin wailing while faux-humping women in a puddle (their naughty bits hidden behind crudely pasted black bars). While the season-one story of Romano’s real-life dad, famed arsonist Johnny Cool, nearly made the list, his rambling retelling of the story of Russian Lothario Rasputin’s notoriously laborious murder is too great a match of narrator to ignore. Season Five, Episode Two, “Dangerous Minds” To pay our respects to the series, we set about revisiting nearly all of the show’s 200-ish stories (most episodes feature two to three stories) to find the 25 tipsy retellings that stood above the rest - with Waters himself chiming in with some behind-the-scenes insights from the show’s run. But if this is truly the end of Waters’s drunken stumble through the strange corners of American history, we can at least take comfort in the great legacy the show has left behind. In the age of streaming and surprise pickups, no show is ever truly dead. Yet despite all its success, Comedy Central announced last month that it would be canceling the series. It was lightning in a bottle, an incredible premise that thrives on the dissonance between the respectability of history and the sloppiness of, well, being drunk.Ī few years later, Comedy Central would pick it up as a series that would not only go on to six seasons and 70 episodes but would be nominated for 17 Primetime Emmys, winning one for Outstanding Costumes in a Variety Sketch Series. In 2007, Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner produced six short sketches for Funny or Die called Drunk History, in which the inebriated retellings of historical events (Edison versus Tesla, the life of Benjamin Franklin) were reenacted with community-theater-level production values, A-list comedians, and total commitment to the storyteller’s every fumbled word and modern vernacular.
