Mr. D's Neighborhood 
Spoofing History: Don Cheadle as Frederick Douglass
As your finishing your last-minute paperwork before summer, the Neighborhood revisits an old theme with a new installment sure to “inform” and entertain.
The Drunk History franchise, seen on Funny or Die on HBO Comedy, has featured Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and even Nikola Tesla. This most recent installment, whereas the cast acts out the drunk narration of a plastered host, features Don Cheadle as Frederick Douglass and Will Ferrell as Abraham Lincoln. It’s probably too expletive-laden for the classroom, but fun to share with the faculty as you get those records in order.
Enjoy the video–hopefully it’ll kill enough time before vacation.
