A bouncer wore a GoPro to show the drunk jerks he has to deal with

Drunk people are just oversized toddlers.

Ahh, to be young and drunk and stupid again. Though I was never kicked out of a bar for being too drunk, there were certainly times I probably should have been

I was once thrown out of a bar on the grounds that my companion was bleeding too much. And I have some friends who were permanently banned from a notorious local pub for having sex on the pool table…

@Wanderfound

for having sex on the pool table

Now that is probably totally worth it.

I just realized how much drunk people seem like children.
“I’m cold.” “Put on your shoes.”
“I can’t let you in, dude.” “Not at all?”
“Please let me in.” “Why not?” “I just told you why not.”

That actually is a good approximation biochemically as well. Alcohol inhibits the frontal cortex, and in children the frontal cortex is still developing. It’s suppressing a lot of the same equipment that makes adults better at thinking and reason and judgment than children.

It’s probably also why we like it so much.

Do they actually cultivate a special kind of lazy writing, or does it simply come up from time to time?

I am certain it is intentional. Their timing is incredible. And their drunks impersonation:

brings it nicely back around to the bouncer.

The currently accepted explanation for why humans and great apes like alcohol so much is because we evolved as fruit eaters, and overripe slightly fermented fruit is more calorically dense than unripe fruit. There’s a selective advantage to seeking out spodi, because it’s got more energy.

My main reason for making a fake id was to avoid being these guys. I thought this was an episode of Jersey Shore.

[Wanderfound]

I don’t know that that explanation is required, though.

Voluntary consumption of psychedelics is found throughout the animal kingdom; reindeer seek out magic mushrooms, cats large and small dig their catnip, elephants get drunk at every opportunity.

The desire for altered mental states appears to be a fundamental motivator in its own right.

What strikes me here is not what jerks all these drunk people are being…but how that bar seriously needs to put its coat-check room some place where people can access their stuff without being let back in to the actual bar area. At least 75% of these drunks would have walked away with little fuss if they had their stuff with them. Getting argumentative about being separated from one’s coat/house keys/etc. on a cold night is both reasonable and expected.

I just fell in love with those sketches. I’m gonna have to download Mitchell and Web now. How many seasons have they done?

[daneel]

@LDoBe

How many seasons have they done?

5 radio (That Mitchell and Webb Sound), 4 TV (That Mitchell and Webb Look), plus 9 series of Peep Show (which I totally missed, but I discovered is on Netflix)

Do we really need an explanation, though? It makes (many) people feel good, that seems like explanation enough.

@SabineAgain

Many (most?) bars have their coat check in an area separate from the bar area (often, in a hall on the way to the bar area. Some bars simply don’t have enough space to accommodate such things though, due to their layout. But when you are being ejected from the bar, a bouncer is generally disinclined to stop and wait while you fetch your coat from the coat check, no matter where the coat check is located. Their primary goal is getting you completely separated from other patrons as quickly as possible - if you’re being removed from the bar, it’s generally because you are disturbing other people. In at least one incident in the video, you can hear one bouncer saying “Give me your coat check ticket, I’ll go get your coat.” - I believe it was the one where the guy was saying his coat check ticket was in his coat, which is an impressive feat. I wonder how he was planning on fetching the coat at the end of the evening with no coat check ticket? My sister worked coat check at a local club for about 10 years, she has some great stories of stupid drunks as well.

the “too drunk” happens, but often the torture devices called elegant shoes make it impossible to dance - the main reason in my circle of friends for lost footwear : )
