Videos for the (VERY mature) classroom: Drunk History featuring Nikola Tesla
CollegeHumor’s Drunk History series is now part of HBO Comedy’s Funny or Die troupe. Nikola Tesla is featured, starring John C. Reilly, with Crispin Glover as Thomas Edison. How electric!

No, you can’t be the drunk…I’ll take care of that.
