VIDEO: Drunk Christmas

Joshua Ligairi » 12.20.11 »

No, not this. The drunk Christmas in question is a new holiday-themed special from the folks who bring you the Funny or Die web series, Drunk History. I'll admit, I am not familiar with the previous installments in the comedic series, which seems to feature a lot of big alt comedy names from Danny McBride to Crispin Glover, but you can bet I'll be checking out their other videos forthwith.

The basic gist is this: Comedian Allan McLeod attempts to recite "The Night Before Christmas" while completely inebriated. Meanwhile, the tale (as told by blatoed McLeod) is played out by Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, and Jim Carrey (as the jolly old elf, himself) to hilarious effect. The video was directed by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konners and shot by Ryan McNeely.

WARNING: If you are offended by strong language or drunken men, you will surely be offended by this clip.



And if you were hoping for The Pogues, I'd hate to let you down:
