'It all makes so much sense when you think about like a crazy person.' Best quote I've heard in a long time.

Man the color timer and lighting director did an amazing job of highlighting mood and tone and visually enhancing character development for a 5 minute segment, better than most blockbuster films!

It all makes so much sense when you think about like a crazy person

Did anyone else notice that the FBI agent pushed a "send" button on a typewriter? Hilarious.

So basically J Edgar Hoover had the emotional capacity of a 12 year old

" *THE END. IM BLACK* " This is one of the best things ever

I'm dying laughing at Coretta's facial expression.😂

Hoover's story should be a cautionary one. He was literally a hero in the 1930s who took on notorious gangsters and organized crime and mostly won, but, after decades of unquestioned authority over the FBI, he lost all perspective and became a paranoid figure who suspected everyone and who abused his powers.

u forgot about the part where the fbi murders him

"I have a dream?! This is total communist stuff!"

He's an adorable drunk

I desperately need them to do _’Stoned History’_

I doubt the modern FBI is _that_ much more ethically grounded.

“Im black. The end. Send.”

I'm going to die now....goodbye

4:08 "they tried to make him give up his corba leaf"s.

Martin Luther King is perhaps one of the most powerful figures in US History, not just during the civil rights movement. He fought for equality and everyone should follow the example he has helped set forth.

The way he said "I'm going to die now. Goodbye." was so serene and matter-of-fact, I almost believed him.

Typewriter has a *SEND* button... lol

“I’m gonna die now. Goodbye...”

4:06 Great attention-to-detail in regards to Dr. King's Alpha Phi Alpha pin.

I think I've just realized why, for me, this show works so well: I've had drunk history sessions with my friends since university.

AYYYYYY WINSTON BISHOP

"I think he was just very upset, at anyone that had sex. He just thought it was a really bad idea"

I love how the lights change when "J. Edgar Hoover" started talking it goes to show how he always saw things in black and white with no gray all over!

the narrator is my legit brother

“You are done. There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, abnormal fraudulent self is bared to the nation.” FBI letter to MLK in 1964

That look on his wife’s face. That’s the t I want to sip.

he speaks way too clearly for a drunk person

"When you think about it like a crazy person" 😂 Nuts to J. Edgar Hoover, tbh.

"It all makes so much sense when you think about it like a crazy person!" -- My life in a nutshell

This guy is one of my favorite story tellers from the show! The way he says everything is hilarious

@3:37 😂😂😂 send button on a typewriter 💀

it's kind of hard to focus when the same guy who played MLK jr in this ALSO played Winston in New girl

That poor man is going to have the most vicious hangover!! Lol

The send button on the typewriter 😂

I love how they were after he said “in gonna die now, byeeee” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This was probably in the top three, of my all time favorite narration! It's a subtle type of hilarious.

Ah yes, founder of the FBI, Jayga Hoover.

I love how the lighting changes when Martin Luther and J. Edgar Hoover talk.

"it all makes so much sense when you think about it like a crazy person"

2:28 i imagine this was kid cudi and kanye after the trump meeting 😂

Bonus for the auto-translated spelling of "J. Edgar Hoover" slowly deteriorating as the narrator becomes more incoherent.

one of my fave episodes because i appreciate the colour-gradient shift when each character speaks. amazing

Hoover was obsessed with Martin and Malcolm

I love how the coloring stresses Hoovers evil :D

The send button on the typewriter 🤣

jaegerhoover 2:34

Kind of disturbing that a man like Hoover was head of a federal agency and its more disturbing that there were others like him who also became heads of agencies

the way they change the lighting to match the mood is just amazing

"A human being should be in a body bag, if this is how much is left..." Ha ha ha Amateur

Wow I love how it becomes black and white (Sort of noir) while they show J. Edgar Hoover and colorful and more serene when they show Martin Luther King jr...

how you gonna tell this story without finishing it with the fact that they murdered him??? 😬

Winston! All day, WINSTON!!

My god, imagine if Martin Luther King Jr's speech actually went like that in real life.

Can you imagine if they actually spoke like this? 😂😂😂😂

Fucking Rob Riggle 😂😂😂😂😂

4:52 i love this scene man

I love watching the auto captions try to make sense of drunk speech.

I love that James' voice makes Rob Riggle seem wayyyy different.

That saturation shifting, tho. *chefkiss*

"... youcn... achieve anything you believe in..." I cracked up.

Hoover also went to harass the black panthers, causing many of the members deaths.

I’m drunk and listening to Drunk History. Woohoo.

That walking away -akward ending -was hilarious AF 😂😂

Comedy central! Love you guys man!

“It all makes so much sense... when you think about it like a crazy person...”

Can we do a drunk current events featuring the Drumpf Admin? I think it’d be comic bronze

There was nothing crazy about Hoover's belief that MLK Jr. was a communist. Dr. King was, in fact, an outspoken proponent of socialism. He spoke of it often in his speeches. What is sad is that Hoover believed that there was anything unAmerican about dissenting opinions in a country that is supposed to profess freedom of speech and beliefs. Examples of King on Socialism: “I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.” - Letter to Coretta Scott, July 18, 1952. “In a sense, you could say we’re involved in the class struggle.” -Quote to New York Times reporter, José Igelsias, 1968. “And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” -Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. “Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis.” -Speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967. “Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.” - Speech to the Negro American Labor Council, 1961. “We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.” - Report to SCLC Staff, May 1967. “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.” -Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967. “I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective - the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed matter: the guaranteed income… The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.” - Where do We Go from Here?, 1967. “You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.” - Speech to his staff, 1966. “[W]e are saying that something is wrong … with capitalism…. There must be better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.” - Speech to his staff, 1966. “If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell.” - Speech at Bishop Charles Mason Temple of the Church of God in Christ in support of the Memphis sanitation workers’ strike on March 18th, 1968, two weeks before he was assassinated.

Keep these coming! Powerful duncan trussel

Definitely have to give y’all credit on this series; very amazing!

And yet snowden admits that the government is listening in today and everyone's like wtf?!?!?

He's high af

Her face at 4:05 😂😂😂

1:03 my response to anything I disagree with.

This was a true Drunk recall of these events. Classic.

I love the way they changed the lighting when one of them talks

Corn Chowder, Money. They're connected, and they feed back to each other.

I tried to make a presentation about MLK and the FBI and found this...

Why does the typewriter have a 'send' button where the space bar should be?

4:39 aaah yhes, this position. The beginning of the end. ExXCELLENT video! Makes much sense wheuikle drunk

4:28. The guy on the left is the guy that is on the left in Eric Andre’s game ‘These Are People’

@2:20 why does Martin Luther Kings friend look more like Martin Luther King himself. He looks more like Malcolm X 🤔

You forgot the part where THEY kill him!!

That smartphone that you're holding right now is J. Edgar Hoover's wet surveillance dream.

lol the umbrella gun 🤣

Someday someone is going to do drunk history about the crazy shit happening now.

It all makes so much sense !!!!............ If u think like a crazy person LOOLLL

I'm gonna die now *softly and matter-of-factly*

He was the definition of glassy eyed lol

This might be one of my new favorite things😂

A lot of these episodes are pretty funny! But some of the people drinking don’t look like they drink very often! Not sure this was a great idea LOL thanks for the video.

This is amazingly fantastic. As always. However, I'm worried about how much that guy drank.

The FBI was also listening in on Malcom X. They were amazed how Malcom never cheated on his wife and would call his family every night, whereas, Dr King, a pastor, would be with a different woman every night and rarely called his family.

2:35 j goohoover 😂😂😂

Sadly this story was ommited from that Clint Eastwood J Edgar movie with Leonardo DeCaprio.

Chappelle said that Cosby paid for the sounds system during MLK's I Have A Dream speech. Cosby and MLK were tight yo.... hol up!

Winston!! I can do this all day

I’d like to thank this man for telling the story well and not being so drunk he can’t talk. That always bothers me even though the show is called drunk history.

This is not what happened. it's not emotions between 2 people, it's about interest and influence.
