About Drunk History:
Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

Comedian: How does davey crockett like his pie? Alamo'd
Host: I gotta go
I died screaming 😂😂😂😂
He wants that pie
😂😂😂😂😂
Oh Bowie...that's A LOT
best fucking joke..EVER..until further notice🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂
"I gotta go" LMAO
*ALAMO*
I HOLLERED 😭😭😭💀💯
He said me too like they weren't at HIS house 😅😭🤣
"Yeah, me too."
ALMAO
one of the most (melo)dramatic Drunk History ever!!! Delicious.
Being from Texas and actually having visited The Alamo as a child and having "learned" (ha) about it in school and still having absolutely NO CLUE WHO "WON" and actually drinking right now this very minute watching this episode of "Drunk History" (which I really love), this will be good.
Ah And I live in Mexico now by the way, which will just make the experience that much richer.
And the most not historically correct I've ever seen.
Jesus Christ, Derek...you're a good actor. I got a little choked up in your death scene. You're all doing excellent work here.
March “thix” lmfaoo
Davy Crockett: “ You can go to hell, I’ll go to Texas.”
Me in Patrick’s voice: “What’s the difference?”
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING LMAO!! 😂😂😂😂
You eat me to it
Honestly 😆💯
Just a note, I'm pretty sure that the difference was the treatment of the native Americans. Crockett was sympathetic to the Native Americans and the rest of the Tennessean legislature wasn't. So he left 🤷
Right!
It's still weird for me to see Matt Gorley and not just hear his beautiful voice on a podcast.
Right! He and Conan are pretty great together
Can't believe the podcast is that old
I saw two Mexican soldiers fighting over the same rifle, I think.
Lolzz, FACTS! @ 3:29 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂
The Mexican solider was using the rifle to choke the colonel.
"Davy Crockard.. great American mythological eleven" 4:45 😂
"When the USA sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
- Mexican President Santa Anna, regarding all those illegal immigrants from the USA going into the Mexican territory of Texas.
Highice007 betraying such oath throws away such invite... They turned such welcome into illegal claim.. Or ok forget illegal.. This is straight up treason, far worse.
Lucas Liso sounds a lot like Trump. Both spewing immigrant rhetoric While also fucking over their own people with their greed and self serving bullshit. The only shit Santa Ana had going was that he went to the front lines with his fucking madness. Trump is a fucking coward behind twitter.
Lol
in reality tho they were allowed in as long as they don't bring their slaves but they did anyways
yeee and as long as they converted to catholicism
Honestly.. When is High History going to become a thing?
Smoking weed causes short term memory loss! You guys might forget important plot points!
@@wndrwmn72a44 Forget about what
I have been _begging_ for this in the comments for ages now!
It would have to be an hour long with all the long pauses and "Oh, what was I saying?" being repeated.
@@gabybiz6089 I live in Vegas next to a dispensary. Come out if you don't have a bf.
They should have hid in the basement! The ALAMO'S BASEMENT! ;)
Pee Wee Herman might agree.
dat reference.
"There's no basement in the Alamo silly" ...great reference
Interestingly they wanted to build down beneath the Alamo to create some foundation and strengthen the buildings, but we have an aquifer here that provides the large majority of the cities water so they couldn't. Same reason why there's not any very tall buildings here.
@@maxhydekyle2425 It would have been a great place to keep their bikes.
Would've been funny if santa Ana had an egg McMuffin and frappe
Kinda like danerrys?
wait, americans know of frappe? i thought Greece was the only country that has it. unless its just the same name
Taco Cabana man...
just thought the same thing
"The winter's too harsh on these high Mexican deserts."
IT IS!!! It gets soooo fucking cold especially by the border ! Boiiii
There were blizzards back in those days.
San Antonio is not in the desert or high.
Coming from the northeast I wondered what the heck that could possibly mean!
Ok, but like, Derek is legit a class-a actor. I can’t even with his skills sometimes.
3:12 “two slaves..” both of them looking pissed off like why df are we here?
I'm pretty sure Texas was fighting to be an independent country because Mexico abolished slavery and they wanted to do slavery too
As a Texan, I wish this is how we were taught about the Alamo. Cause teachers hyped that shit up and the Alamo is the size of a small house. That shit is wack.
every time I see Jack Johnson I remember Nick Miller and that makes me smile
I've rewatched Derek's death scene like 50 times, he is such a good actor, how have I never noticed this before wtf
That egg looked good.
You mean those plain eggs?
That drawn out death scene at 3:33 is hilarious!
Wonderful to see the legendary Matt Gourley.
im san antone to the bone (born and raised) and that joke at the end had me cracking up!!! lol
This is probably one of the more serious drunk histories (with a few jokes here and there) and so at 4:50 it got me in my feels real fast
"March Thix" 😂😂😂😂😂
I unironically do this subconsciously when I'm drunk
Do it consciously!
Bushido Brown deal
I drunkenly tell stories about the Alamo a lot since I got years of San Antonio history in school that are otherwise useless.
@@maxhydekyle2425 I've noticed that drunk me prefers to rant about a mixture of government coverups and the straight white male assholes of history.
Hold on there drunk cowboy, let me Alamo over to the bar to catch up with you first. 😊💙 🍻
I like the story of Sam Houston better.
The Texas Revolution
In 1821, Texas was part of Mexico. The land was cheap, so
many Americans settled in Texas. Mexico tried to stop them,
but they still came. Slavery was against Mexican law, but
Americans brought slaves to Texas. Many American settlers
and Tejanos, or Mexicans who lived in Texas, wanted to
break away from Mexico. They did not like laws made by
Santa Anna, Mexico’s president. The Tejanos and Texans
decided to fight for independence.
In 1836, Santa Anna took an army to San Antonio to
take a fort called the Alamo. Fewer than 200 Texans and
Tejanos met him. Most of them died in battle. After this,
Texans declared independence and formed the Republic of
Texas. Sam Houston led their army in a surprise attack at
San Jacinto. They won, and captured Santa Anna. For his
freedom, Santa Anna gave Texas its independence.
Texans elected Sam Houston president and voted
to join the United States. They also made slavery legal.
President Van Buren was against annexation. Mexico wanted
to keep Texas, and Van Buren feared it would cause war. He
also didn’t want to add a new state to the Union that
allowed slavery. People who wanted to annex Texas said it
was the manifest destiny of the United States to spread from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. In 1845, James Polk
became President. Congress voted to annex Texas.
War with Mexico
The United States and Mexico disagreed on the border
between Texas and Mexico. Congress declared war in 1846.
Soldiers fought on three fronts. Americans captured Mexico
City in 1847. In 1848, Mexico signed the Treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo. Mexico agreed to the annexation of
Texas and the Rio Grande as the border between Texas and
Mexico. Mexico also gave a large area of land, the Mexican
Cession, to the United States.
Short version. US stole Texas. Kind of reminds me of Jerusalem and Palestine. Lol
I can understand why Texans didn't want to be part of Mexico, specially under that president but if you are fighting from indepence, why no go for broke and, you know...be independent
Well, too late now.
I applaud your knowledge of true Texas history. I'm a Texan myself. This drunk history was a bit offensive to be honest. The men who went to the Alamo didn't go there for the hell of it. Santa Ana and his henchmen were murdering every white or native American in their path without mercy, or reason.
@@JohnnyGification ..... It was call Israel before I was called Palestine. Palestine a Greek word comes from the word Philistine.... During its long history, Jerusalem has been attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, besieged 23times, and destroyed twice. The oldest part of the city was settled in the 4th millennium BCE, making Jerusalem one of the oldest cities in the world. To the victors go the spoils of war. Got to love real history and not drunk history.
@@CT-um7zq .... Santa Ana wanted to disarm a lot of texicans. He called for gun confiscation long ago from White and Mexican settlements. That was not the only laws they didn't care for. The obvious was slavery. Santa Anta became more enraged with the immigration into Texas and the numbers of the people coming into settlements. It's a great argument for walls and security today. Im a Texan and half Hispanic. My father was Mexican and my mother was a 6th generation Texan.
Matt Gourley was in every media we've ever consumed.
Having been born and raised in San Antonio we had literally two years of just San Antonio history in elementary school. Over elementary school we probably took a field trip to the Alamo at least a dozen times. Also the most popular local Tex-Mex restaurant here is Alamo Cafe and they have Alamo shaped crackers. It's safe to say if I never heard the word Alamo the rest of my life it'd be too soon.
Gourley should do a drunk episode about the history of Bakelite rotary phones specifically those used during the Eisenhower administration.
How does Davy Crockett like his pie?
Alamo'd
@Deus Costa yea, me too
oh my god, comedy central is just on another level, they real inspire which led me to create a channel actually...you dudes are just too funny
Watching these high, not drunk. Can I kick it?
MrKegsworth No, get your hippie ass the fuck out of here
"Yes you caaaan!"
All are welcome
Only if you brought enough to share with the rest of the class. In which case, hello new best friend.
Wait did the guy THROW a cannonball at 4:14 ... 😂😂😂😂
I don’t know why but something about seeing that dude lightly throwing what is supposed to be a solid cannon ball was HILARIOUS TO ME.
So they took a mission that wasn't theirs and got killed for it..... That's the most American thing ever.
Actually, the most American thing ever is a broad generalization that simplifies a much more complex situation
@@jordanwilliam23 Ur right, let him right a book in a youtube comment so everybody can be satisfied
To be fair it was during a revolution... do we say that Americans were taking land that wasn’t there’s from the British during the American revolution?
@@sattheer1493 yes, but we weren't taking it from the british
Texan**
He took his breakfast in the Alamo, but they took his leg in San Jacinto.
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
He lost his leg in a different battle in a battle against the French.
This is an interesting story to do a Drunk History of because the story of texas is actually filled with a lot of nuance and details and not one really comes out clean in it.
But the americans wanted to keep their slaves. lets not forget that part.
Yup. Santa Anna was a total douchebag, but the Anglos were anti-Catholic slavers.
THANK YOU! There was so much background I'd argue was really important that was left out, including the slavery issue.
0:00 When you intend to have good trigger discipline but then remember you're drunk.
@4:06 "tuBerkeleyosis? I'm offended.
They left out the part of us stealing santa annas leg weeks later
Years later. It was stolen during the Mexican War in 1847.
@@robertgr0077 Santa Anna had a lavish funeral for his leg.
fun fact. Jake Johnson is what drunk history is based on. Derek used to have drunk conversations with Jake back in the day. look it up. total truth
Alamo’ed 😂😂😂 but seriously I was taught that David Crockett was all that and he was.....nothing.
as a native texan who lives a few miles from san antonio, i cannot take this video and their set seriously 😭
Marty Robbins sang me this many years ago
That was el paso city
@@sassyinscrubs5206 ballad of the alamo
Mary Poppins?
this is the only drunk history i had ever wanted
and i was not disappointed in the least
Why did he have to die like that 😂😂
And here I always thought the drunk history on Alexander Hamilton was my favorite....I was wrong....that pun at the end won me over completely
"Cannonbally after cannonbally" HILARIOUS
Michelle Koh Sorry but it’s “cannon volley”, which is an actual term and not a drunk vocabulary invention
I also heard it as Cannonbally and tbh I like it better that way
this was the most sober drunk history
Probably one of the best speakers on Drunk history
I couldn't love Matt Gourley more
"March Thix" 😂
Ayyy that's the chill chum!!
The fight scenes are legendary and all movies should look like this lol 😆
The last 10 seconds is pure gold
Sarah Paulson would absolutely own a drunk history role. I can only imagine who would narrate it
So odd to see Gourley's face after god knows how often I hear him on podcasts.
I like how Texas is always though of a Desert
Why do people act like this is an Amazing story
I'm sure its not as interesting as the history of whatever state you come from
I wrote a paper on the Alamo and cited this as a source
That was actually one of the more respectable interpretations of what may have happened to Crockett. Some believe he surrendered and tried to talk his way out of it (though there was no proof of that but yeah). There's still debates on how he really died even though it seems kind of pointless by the grand scheme of things.
The only real question is whether you believe in the legend of Davy Crockett or not. If you do, then there should be no doubt in your mind that he died the death of a hero having never surrendered. If you do not believe in the legend, then he was just a man and it does not matter how he died.
@@robertgr0077 Probably considering how legends tends to exaggerate or embellish exploits of historical figures. In the end it seems the point is to embrace it depending on the person however.
Pointless in the grand scheme as everything is, but fascinating on the human interest and historic level as everything is.
It’s about time, been waiting for this kne
1:13 this got reversed back on us hard 😂
“How does Davy Crockett like his pie? Al a mo’d”🤣🤣🤣. 🌈
I love that Bowie always has his knife
Best story to tell in this series period
Who else is working on a drunk watching these? Only 5 beers in though. Also, tuberculiosis 😂😂😂
@steal threaded it's almost 5 o' clock somewhere. Here, more specifically
I love your video! 👏🏻
3:40 my boy Joe was like im out lol
Matt Gourley is the best 👏👏👏
That joke at the end was amazing!!!
Best joke on TH-cam
“Cannonbally after Cannonbally”
The Alamo is a great movie 🎥... billybob is Davie Crockett, Patrick Wilson is Travis, James Patric is Bowie, and Dennis Quaid is Houston-Houston Texas capital. Native Americans, Mexicans, and Texans joined together to battle Spain. Dave Crocket never wore that raccoon hat thing, until someone wrote that into a script of a play production. Anyway, awesome 👏🏼.
OMG the end 😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I love how revolvers, which weren't even invented in a practical model yet, make an appearance lol. Budget constraints, right?
Sentational ! Besttt!
I dont care this video is a year old, March Thix has me dead lmaooo
Thumbs down for trigger discipline, thumbs up for Horatio Sanz
Very well filmed for CC
Ah yes. It's like my seventh grade texas history class but with less yelling and kicking from the teacher and more slurring. You know, people say that most guy history teachers are chill. The key word there is MOST...
Yo. Did Santa Anna just eat a tortilla with a fork?!
Eggs.
You might need glasses.
4:03 tub-burk-le-osis. 😂😂😂
Best part of this was the pie joke..haha
Drunk History needs to do a telling of the “16 tons” song and what inspired it.
I swear to god I learned about this today and this video is waaaaaay more descriptive than our teacher Jesus christ
Technically, it's supposed to be "remember Goliad, remember the Alamo!" But no one ever remembers Goliad. More lives were lost and a much darker tale but forgotten to all but a few Texas historians.
its similar to people saying "remember waco!" when Ruby Ridge was WAY WORSE. also in TX btw, Waco i mean.
" I gotta go"..."yeah me too"
His reaction getting shot lol lol
Obviously you guys know the history!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
BTW, there were about 10 of us English there!
Being a native and resident of San Antonio, this is the saddest story retelling Drunk History has ever done... Then kills me with laughter at the very end! "A la mode." Shut up!😂😂😂
thank u, i’m texan and i barely remembered this story
As a native Texan, yes this is sorta what happened.
“March thix”
as a native texan and who basically heard santa anna's name 1000 times i have officaly lost it
Im from texas an i approve this msg
Hahaha this was great. From San Antonio 👋
Why aren't schools teaching us this stuff.
