History Told The Right Way

This is a sketch created by Derek Waters who is part of the Bob Odenkirk's Derek and Simon Webseries. Bob Odenkirk can do no wrong by me. This man is Bob Odenkirk. He is the one on the left.



You may also recognize the person on the right as David Cross from the tv series Arrested Development or you may even remember him as the Manager in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. They both started out doing a sketch show on HBO called "Mr.Show". The wonderful thing about Bob Odenkirk is that he just directs now and finds unknown talent and has yet to let me down. Example. Tom Goes to the Mayor and Tim and Eric Awesome Show. As of recent I started watching this series called "Drunk History" which is basically, Derek Waters gets a person completely shit-faced and has them give a history lesson on a president. The brilliant part is that they have real actors reenact(Jack Black as Ben Franklin, Michael Cera as Alexander Hamilton, Danny McBride as George Washington), in full wardrobe and set design, what the drunk person is saying. There is no sound in the reenactments other than the actors lip syncing the storyteller as he/she is speaking. I've chosen the best one.
