Drunk History Vol. 5 w/ Will Ferrell, Don Cheadle & Zooey Deschanel

[@zanytobbs]

2:59 The way they look at the camera when she gets the name of the president wrong LMAO

[@SneakerKing83]

WesterWolf 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tangie7]

😂🤣🤣

[@Weegee766]

Right lol. Don’s eyes are great

[@ianyoung9983]

LOL 😂

[@agaeus]

Don Cheadle killed it on that speech.

[@MOBROOKS]

agaeus Yeah he did. Lol

[@rainbowcanoe17]

i choked on my drink when she said clinton

[@Noodles37UK]

+Ellie Bissell Temp- erance.

[@michaelr9427]

omg same

[@rawrcookies99]

that got me to.

[@emmaduncan2991]

I loved Lincoln and Douglas' reactions as well!

[@lolabigcups7121]

lol me too!

[@emmaduncan2991]

Don Cheadle's wig is worth watching this, almost on it's own.

[@pbsamanthamarie]

Lets name it Don Jr.!

[@lavenderblue5143]

He looks a legit makeup brush lol 😂

[@Cassandra_Steel]

It is own? Dumbass

[@Shan2TheBoner1987]

@@lavenderblue5143 It actually makes reference to a wonderful fact about him and his big, loud, natural hair. Don Cheadle made that choice and as a future History teacher, I picked up on that nuanced decision. Showing this to students actually can start a conversation. Another example would be Lincoln saying "he just wanted to preserve the union" because it can start the dialog of Lincoln idea to start a new country for Black People in South America but only free Black men could be in charge since they would be less angry at white people lol Insane but true

[@ftlbaby]

He stole it from Sam Jackson's Unbreakable loot

[@CodysFavorites]

now my head is shutting asleep

[@AlbumLyricsTV]

+MyNamesCody I read your comment at the exact same time

[@codyhendrickson7735]

MyNamesCody No way! My names Cody too

[@CodysFavorites]

Cody Hendrickson yo congrats man we gotta stick together in these hard times

[@somehorse]

"Thank you much" - lost it XD

[@KevinFinkbeiner]

I about died of laughter at the Richard Dreyfuss bit.

[@FlapjackBProductions]

"Thank you much, for the walking stick." I don't know why but I died right there.

[@Square60]

"Did I need to do more story about them?" LOL 5:36

[@teaukeri]

Lmaoooo "I wanted to lose weight before this"

[@johnpenley]

"even if he knew he couldn't full fill my wishes....he f****** listened" seems nobody does that anymore..best quote from that Clip imo....

[@soulstrength]

this is a perfect day for me....Don Cheadle AND Will Ferrell together in a skit? Can't ask for better!

[@avedic]

I wish I had such low expectations for what makes a perfect day as you do. I'm actually being serious lol. I think I've become a wee bit too jaded and cynical as I've gotten older. : (

[@soulstrength]

avedic I can totally understand your sentiment. Maybe I was overreaching with the perfect day comment...but I do love Don C. and Will F. Having them together was just a good deal all around. :)

[@ColevLost]

Zooey makes Mary Todd look like she was completely dead inside... And I love it.

[@sleesullivan2796]

I love Zooey but when she's not into a role, she always looks dead inside.

[@erinbennett2873]

By the end she was dead inside.

[@thisisajang]

Perhaps because Mary Todd was dead inside. I mean her own son put her in the asylum in 1880s because she suffered from paranoia.

[@CountryFriedCryptid]

she's badass but she's not immune to feelings.

[@jonasnilaus]

Don Cheadle does an EPIC lip sync!

[@Sirveaux]

Fuckin' A! He's such an underrated actor.

[@rainbowapm]

"If they're prisoners of war, don't fucking kill them." - Frederick Douglass

[@valr1260]

Don Cheadle patting his fro wig before being presented added 10 years to my life 😂

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

"He died doing what he loved - sticking up for ladies."

[@JoyGrenade]

And you can't fault him for that.

[@Gambit08]

😉

[@bethebong]

"Did I need to do a-more story about them?" -blinks one eye at a time lol

[@melissasaint3283]

And he really did. When he died, he was working hard to win women the right to vote, God bless him. Frederick Douglass was one of the greatest Americans of all time.

[@aba4055]

I havent watched drunk history in 11 years since these original ones, i didnt realize how high budget it got!!!

[@olivia4087]

The Most classic drunk history of all time

[@sincitysinner9239]

LOL, she might be the best drunk historian in all of the skits and from the comedy central show. She had me laughing the whole time. When she called him President Clinton and Will Ferrell and Don Cheadle both looked at the camera like "WTF" had me cracking up, then when she said her head was shutting to sleep at the end. Great job Jen, you should drink 2 bottles of wine and read history books more often.

[@eldaytripper2]

Don Cheadle is fucking brilliant in this.

[@emmaduncan2991]

+eldaytripper2 the wig is pretty epic as well.

[@csterlin9]

emma duncan Next level wig

[@eggface]

I feel like I have no pants on... oh cause I have on a dress.

[@thisdudeactuallysaid9711]

i died so bad lol

[@Hannah_The_Heretic]

me irl hahaha

[@kengruz669]

Reading this ten years later. Yes, that was hilarious.

[@umopepisdn.]

2:53 "and Fredrick Douglass became an advisor to president Clinton for years"

[@froggydoodle808]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised. I've heard that he has done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more these days.

[@liberty2265]

for some reason “thank you much” got me really good 😂

[@mariatangled]

omggg when she was talking bout her pants lolol

[@Naltddesha]

Oh wow, this takes me back. I forgot about this series, an old school KZbin classic series

[@lisakaplan9007]

This is the best, most iconic Drunk History. Jen rocks it!

[@renatagross5959]

I Love the great scripts & Don Cheadle's commitment to his portrayal - that he took it seriously despite that it was a comedic presentation.

[@taylorbassett2512]

This has always been my favorite drunk history, Jen Kirkman fucking rules

[@shanesydney127]

This is the best episode by far. Watched it a few times over a few years having a few beers with a few friends.

[@kylethehubert9002]

" I wanted to lose weight before this "

[@impossiblefunky]

"Someone who has done a terrific job that is being recognized by more and more people"

[@crazycarrottop08]

It should really be "Richard Dryfus and President Clinton speak about abolishing slavery"

[@carolynhosler5538]

" did i take my pants off ". Aaaaahahaha

[@CountryFriedCryptid]

it's been like 16 years since I first watched this and I can still recite almost all of it.

[@lospolloshermanos5659]

the date of the video is 2010 - that's only 12 years.

[@saralee7659]

Omg the best acting ever! Funny funny funny! This is entertainment. And the bet drunk storytelling ever!

[@saralee7659]

I love Drunken History so much!!

[@saralee7659]

Its the best entertainment ever! Funny ass shit! Pardon my vulgarity!! I recommend for anyone to pass time away, in a bad mood, sick or anything for any occasion.

[@saralee7659]

I love drunken history so much. It makes me smile when it seems impossible to smile. Just funny!

[@starduck8014]

+Sarah Lee Forks I can't believe I've only just found it...so brilliant

[@saralee7659]

Lilly Despina it is awesome, right! priceless stories in history told...drunk! omg soooo funny

[@SH4GN457Y]

Don Cheadle's eyebrows must have like five inches of vertical range. Damn, those things can move so far

[@chrissiebabydawg]

This remains my favorite Drunk History episode ever. Thank you much..... for the walking stick!

[@tickytacky8078]

"Why do I feel like I took my pants off" 😂dying😂

[@KaylaKhaos183]

"Thank you much...for the walking stick." These videos are great. I can't believe I didn't find out about them earlier.

[@WestTeter]

"Thank you much for the walking stick."

[@fragoleconcrema]

Best history lesson ever. Kudos to Will & Don. (& Zooey too)

[@tulinha23]

dying at 3:24 "alright, it's the Lincoln emancipation..memorial."

[@megsmcg1186]

"Did I need to do a more story about them?"

[@theisabellaapaolaa]

P.S. I hope Jen does more of these. She totally rocked it! Historical bad ass...yep!

[@donowens7872]

Her face at the very beginning immediately after she says she's going to discuss Frederick Douglass...HILARIOUS!!!!!!

[@themorningego]

"I have a mental illness. But I don't....HE'S THE FATHER OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS." Lol. The end after the credits is the best part.

[@theisabellaapaolaa]

I discovered this series in an effort to find an adjunct learning tool for our visit to historical Williamsburg. If you don't appreciate their drunken state and the sort of frat boy premise you have to regard the fine acting along with the historical references that popular actors, such as Will Ferrel, Don Cheatle, Jack Black, bring to life...lol! The backdrop to these events are well done and make learning fun...well, in a maverick kind of way.This clip is about Fredrick Douglas, or was it Richard Dreyfuss? and Abraham Lincoln's friendship despite their differing views of the Emancipation Proclamation. I seriously had tears rolling down my face! Jen Kirkman did an awesome job! My favorite episode by far! Mary Todd Lincoln offers a gift to Douglas, "Abe's favorite walking stick...that was like, Thank you much."

[@VOKALZZMUZIC]

the lip syncing is so incredible and funny I cant get enough lol. I actually learned more on these videos then I actually did in history class.

[@idwtbam]

Years later, this shit is still gold.

[@kingmitchum]

I dont remember iron patriot in the 1700s. That must be iron man is there as well

[@stephenl7425]

The events in this video are supposed to take place in the 19th century...

[@kingmitchum]

oh my god its a joke...

[@shamelessmoose]

Two Bottles of Wine + Jen Kirkman = Comedic gold.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Funny, and not entirely accurate, obviously, but she knows her history drunk better than most people do sober! She was keen to point out that Lincoln wasn't as much the "Great Emancipator" as school textbooks would have us believe, that his major priority was preserving the Union.

[@lukemeyer5924]

+dreamlandnightmare What's not accurate? The guy who does it, while wanting to have fun with it, makes sure all the information is correct (of course except funny slip ups like when she says Pres. Clinton). He's talked about how he will stop and correct them if they get off the facts.

[@thatonestormtrooper2760]

dreamlandnightmare hate to tell you. all history teachers will tell you he was all about the union

[@subsamadhi]

Well then mr history. Tell the world the story and make it right.

[@mowganashwey]

@@thatonestormtrooper2760 I mean, my Coloradoan history teachers of the mid to late 90s regarded him as the ultimate hero of civil rights...

[@thatonestormtrooper2760]

@@mowganashwey look Abraham Lincoln was by no means a bad person. And there is evidence to show that he truly did lean towards an abolitionist sort of stance. But his ultimate goal was to preserve the union. He famously said that if he could save the union by freeing no slaves he would do it, if he could save the union by freeing all slaves he would do it, and if he could save the union by freeing some slaves then he would do that. Theres also the fact that during his time he was a bit of a tyrant. He did some questionable things when it comes to things like rights and due processes. All that said the fact is Abraham Lincoln was the president who finally ended American slavery. His motives may not have been entirely pure, and freeing the slaves didnt exactly mean they were treated equally. Sorry if I came off dismissive of the man. I really do respect a great many things about him, but I dont idolize him. Humans are flawed creatures. Raising anyone to that untouchable status is a bad idea.

[@eatyoriceful]

I have actually learned so much from this series. Thank you funnyordie.

[@nb-user25]

How have I just come across Drunk History???

[@starduck8014]

+NailpolishfanCC yeah same!!!

[@davidober1199]

National treasure

[@rachaelmarks2]

Also Fred Douglass gave his last speech at my college so I'm pretty much famous by connection

[@narutoclifford]

When they showed Lincoln's death, the emotionless face of his wife mad me laugh so hard I think I pissed myself.

[@sajateacher]

Frederick Douglas was great in "Hotel Rwanda"

[@clockworkNate]

I wish drunk history went back to being drunk and funny like this .

[@johnhamels5961]

I have no idea how the actors can even get through this without laughing as hard as I am....This show is a genius concept.....wish I thought of it.......... This show makes you laugh so hard, you forget about ur problems.

[@rangers94ism]

I love the zero reaction from Mary Todd while watching her husband get shot. XD

[@psicanada]

Why is drunk history so much more interesting then regular history?

[@dim391]

"Thank you much" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LabNYorkie]

I'm very relieved to know that "Lincoln wasn't a douchebag." Love this video.

[@5337videos]

"Thank you much ... for the walking stick." I'm seriously crying right now. This series is genius. We've got a satirical history series on our channel too, check it out.

[@amazingrace7180]

How am I just now finding out about these!! They're HILARIOUS! I wish History was taught this way when I was in school.

[@erinkat2467]

"I didn't take my pants off ..did I?" Lmao 💀💀💀💀💀

[@vieuphoria1008]

This is legit one of my favorite episodes of Drunken History's by far

[@Lgg130]

"thank you much"

[@KohanKilletz]

This is a very moving and beautiful story!

[@enriquethegerbil1526]

"He fucking listened"

[@TracyAllenPreplanner]

I love this show! Every chance I get, I tell people that they have to watch it. Now I know that I might’ve done a lot better in my history classes if the teacher would’ve just told the stories while they were drunk 🥴🤷🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🤣💯

[@jackieboyborden]

"my head is shutting asleep"

[@DravenGal]

That look they gave the camera when she said ''President Clinton'' was priceless.

[@lynda2450]

So funny. I think this is the funniest Drunk History.

[@starduck8014]

This series is just too fabulous...what a clever concept

[@williamstoni1485]

Mr. D. Cheadle is a lip sync genius... "and, you can't fault him for that..." lofl.

[@JoDee172]

Don Cheadle needs an award for this

[@emmaduncan2991]

"stickin' up for ladies"

[@truerthanyouknow9456]

"Be quiet. I'm into it..." Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@lindseyflax941]

When zooey brought out the walking stick....i immediately thought of the FEELING STICK from New Girl. lol

[@zimmawoman]

"She was there when he got his head blown off in the theatre, so she's a BADASS. But it doesn't mean she's immune to feelings."

[@GUAlliance]

This was one of the best FoD videos!

[@henrytobelman277]

The American school system failed us.. Drunk History failed us less

[@raethiets15]

This is by far the best episode of drunk history

[@danamiller9512]

Duuuude , when Abe's head rolled off his body and his wife doesn't react...took me out!😂😂
