3) Team America (Beerfest)
How am I not supposed to include the Broken Lizards crew on this list? Not only do they represent the epitome of immature, frat-house comedy, but they took those merits one step further and created a movie about an international Beer Games Olympics – yes, the mecca of alcoholic consumption, Beerfest! Putting an old-school spin on every college kid’s competitive drinking game of choice, what isn’t there to love about watching Landfill, Barry, Todd, Jan, and Fink chugging *coughcomputerizedcough* alcohol from a glass boot?! Give credit where credit is due though, these dudes actually drank actual beer in MOST scenes, proven by actors Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme chugging beers on stage during their two-man stand up specials.
Beerfest is a fantasy of any pong-playing 20-something who wants to test their beer gaming prowess against any and all challengers – a tribute to the bros who just want to throw quarters into cups and chug mass quantities of beer faster than some other jabronie. Why do I understand this culture? Because I am one. Watching Beerfest usually sparks a Saturday night pong tournament followed by drunken Quarters and obligatory shots of Goldschlagger – but everyone’s experience may be different.
If you’ve seen Beerfest and enjoy drinking, it’s impossible to make it through a night without throwing out one random quote. “Who’s Barry Badrinath?” “It wasn’t the handle! I’ve been shitting pancakes ever since.” “Why don’t we get you out those wet clothes, and into a dry martini.” “I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!” Would you like me to continue? Exactly, take your pick.
EIN! ZWEI! DRINKEN!
