Funniest Shit Ever: Drunken History – Duncan Trussel Tells The Story Of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison
8 May, 2010 in fnord, funniest shit ever, humorWho the hell is Duncan Trussel, you ask? Well, Youdopia, he’s a comedian (an example) who drank a six pack of beer and then told the story of the invention of alternating current, and the inspiration, exploitation, and condemnation of Nikola Tesla by Edison, Westinghouse, and Capitalist society.
Crispin Glover plays Edison, and John C. Reilly plays Tesla. The humor is found in the effort of a truly drunk Duncan Trussel trying to maintain enough to tell this fairly complicated narrative. At one point he is throwing up in the bathroom and still telling the story. It’s a bit low brow (i’m not one for gross out humor) but the video as whole is still the funniest shit ever. Enjoy.
I should add that this video is from Funny or Die.
