“On January 7th Duncan Trussell drank a six pack of beer…then a half a bottle of absinthe…and then he discussed an historical event…”
This is the opening to what is the latest in a long line of ‘Drunk History’ educational videos. As you watch Professor Trussell thrash about barely able to sit up straight, you can’t help but be amazed at the marvel that was Nikola Tesla’s life (with a brilliant acting performance by John C. Reilly as Tesla and Crispin Glover as an ‘a-hole’ Edison).
Created by Derek Waters, Drunk History shows us just how much we can learn by taking advantage of our inebriated friends.
