Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Featuring rare and never before seen footage, this is the mind boggling story of The National Lampoon from its subversive and electrifying beginnings, to rebirth as an unlikely Hollywood heavyweight, and beyond. A humour empire like no other, the impact of the magazines irreverent, often shocking, sensibility was nothing short of seismic: this is an institution whose (drunk stoned brilliant) alumni left their fingerprints all over popular culture. Both insanely great and breathtakingly innovative, The National Lampoon created the foundation of modern comic sensibility by setting the bar in comedy impossibly high.
Leave your thoughts about Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead.
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleNo matter how reflectively mellow the gray-haired, reminiscing interviewees are, the blizzard of featured illustrations from the magazine's '70s heyday offer scads of they-couldn't-get-away-with-that-today laughter. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerDouglas Tirola’s doc does the era and National Lampoon justice. The tone is sharp and freewheeling, the craziness is infectious and the pace is cocaine-quick. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyDouglas Tirola’s doc about the satirical bible’s rise and fall is fascinating, funny, smart, juvenile, tragic, and likely to offend just about everyone. It’s a must-see for anyone who cares about comedy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperDouglas Tirola’s Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead is a frenetic, rough-edged, unapologetic tribute to the Lampoon, featuring some amazing archival footage, nifty bits of animation and dozens of straightforward talking-head interviews that crackle and pop. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkDrunk Stoned Brilliant Dead serves as the perfect time capsule of National Lampoon's run and the influence it has on comedy to this day. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA must-see documentary for comedy fans! More than a simple recounting of Lampoon history, Drunk Stoned gives a strong sense of the players involved. |
| NY1-TVNeil RosenFilled with incisive interviews... director Douglas Tirola does an admirable job of telling the Lampoon's story and offering up an inside look at how it launched huge careers and went on to change the face of contemporary comedy. |
| Washington City PaperTricia OlszewskiWhiplash-inducing. Considering all the scenes of the staff working in a pot haze, the filmmakers might have benefited from taking a hit or several. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Eli LandesWith this sensitive yet playful voice, Tirola shows how decades of richly comedic material found its cultural maturity. |
| Washington Free BeaconSonny BunchThis is a celebration, not an examination, and those looking for a critique of the ribald publication, radio show, off-Broadway play, and film franchise [should go] elsewhere. |
