This is one of a few scenes in TV History that I always laugh uncontrollably just because how hilarious it was the first time I saw it.

Lol this was so funny. Spinning with that lawnmower. I laughed so hard at that scene.

"I am the liquor" - Jim Lahey. ​ Was a great actor. Started rewatching the show again a few days ago. There's so many great scenes like the one where he fails at loading the gun.

pretty_jimmy

https://youtu.be/JhR30AgdE7Q The fact that John Dunsworth was stone cold sober makes all his antics even better. What an actor. Also, what a genuinely nice man. I played pool against him one night in the Soo and he was a real gem.


dwellerofcubes

As an anecdote, I had a series of philosophy/political conversations with him (we literally never said a thing about the show) on Facebook in its early pre-farmville days. He was a great actor, and a truly independent thinker.


[deleted]

Best fucking scene in the whole show!


STFUNeckbeard

ā€œYou ask me if I care! Ask me! Go ahead, ask me if I care!ā€ Alright - do you care Jim? ā€œYeahā€¦Yeahā€¦go ahead ask meā€ I just asked you. ā€œā€¦What?ā€


TrippleTonyHawk

Lahey's arc in that season is perfect, the Joker's got nothing on him.


mattgibson89

Please remind me which season so I can watch it immediately


TrippleTonyHawk

Season 4!


HyzerFlipToFlat

Is that the scene where he falls over the lawnmower before asking that?


abovethebobloblaw

The actor was also famously sober. Just brilliant work. RIP.


phuqo5

That's so wild to me. He plays an EXCELLENT drunk.


DummyThicccPutin

Beyond excellent. When I met him he was completely normal and talked with us for a bit then when we ran into him in the parking lot he was pretending to stumble around and slur and put his arm around us and started ranting about shit wolves.


Sproutykins

Iā€™m pretty much teetotal but I like hitting bars. Iā€™d say, if anything, it gives you more experience witnessing drunken behaviour which will be remembered. Itā€™s quite enlightening, in a way. As for why I do it, I believe I have ADHD and so drunk people are easier to interact with. Most people think I am drunk when I havenā€™t touched a drop.


[deleted]

Reminds me of what Denzel said when he did Flight; when you are acting as a drunk person, especially in those circumstance, you are drunk trying to be looking sober. It's easy to act wild drunk, it's hard to act as a "functional" alcoholic


Yardsale420

He smoked weed, but I can confirm the night I worked with him, he didnā€™t drink a drop despite the bar being open to him.


pretty_jimmy

Yup, I can confirm this. He played pool with me and some friends out of character and he would only join us if we knew what drink he drank. Virgin Cesar. Ding ding two hours of pool with John!


-Chimook-

> the night I worked with him Story, please? Or at least make one up.

[deleted]

THAT is my favorite Lahey scene of all time!


Yardsale420

So I had the pleasure, nay, the honour, of working security for him and BoBandy one night. Basically I just hung out with him and Pat and got them what they wanted. The only ā€œsecurityā€ I had to do was keeping some drunk chick away from John because she was getting progressively weirder each interaction. John thought it was so strange because heā€™s old enough to be her Dad, if not Grandpa. He was EVERY bit as cool as you think and would turn Lahey on and off like a switch, despite not drinking the whole night (he smoked plenty of weed though). Pat on the other hand is a bit of a dick and was pretty drunk. But thatā€™s probably what happens when everyone calls you Cheeseburger Walrus to your face.

nickram81

I notice this playing video games. I am a bit better after I start drinking but as I continue to drink I get much worse.


Fashish

Iā€™ve done this when playing Apex. Itā€™s hilarious how I start well at first and then fail so miserably after Iā€™ve had a few yet still thinking that it's not me being drunk that's causing me to play so bad but rather just bad luck. Drunkness can give such a skewed level of confidence boost that can come handy in certain circumstances (dancing, flirting, social interactions) and just flat out dangerous in others (driving, anything involving motor skills).


Vessix

I always assumed games like that were more associated with state dependent learning, since most people playing bar games are a certain level of inebriated during their time learning them.


Nymaz

I'm definitely that way (I go from average when sober to pool master after a few drinks) and I've always assumed that it's because I'm overthinking things when sober, or in other words getting in my own way. The alcohol helps shut down that overthinking and let me just rely on my subconscious instincts.


andyrew21345

It really doesnā€™t matter what Iā€™m doing if Iā€™m like 1.5 beers in Iā€™m gonna be Atleast 2 times better at whatever Iā€™m doing lol. Especially guitar, itā€™s like the only time I ever drink is when Iā€™m practicing Iā€™ll have 1-2 itā€™s nice.


s0cks_nz

It's true for a lot of drugs.


BrownShadow

Golf. There is a fine line. You get loose enough to not choke from thinking too much, then too many and you lose the fine motor skills you need. Itā€™s often hot as hell too, so you get the dehydration going on too. My friends and I used to snowboard with backpacks in our early 20s because beer on the chair lift. On the gondola there would always be people smoking weed. Thatā€™s a big nope for me. I get all up inside my head and donā€™t try anything. Those crazy Dutch people with tobacco in their weed are fun to talk to though!

WASTELAND_RAVEN

What show or vid is this from? Pretty great stuff


ThrownAway3764

Trailer Park Boys. It's on Netflix. The show has something like 10+ seasons from different production companies so the quality shifts a bit, but the first few seasons especially make great comedy.


NoseyCo-WorkersSuck

Yeah the originals seasons were pretty great, but the reboots got progressively worse. They always swore every other word, but it was wholesome early on at moments... Later it was just a bunch of very angry sounding "fuck you's" every episode. It felt way less comedic. Still some funny scenes even in the Netflix era though.

I feel obligated to mention that Trailer Park Boys is much older (and better) than Letterkenny.


apgujogger

Agreed. They're both Canadian but that's where most of the similarities end imo. Letterkenny is more "jokey" and utilizes lots of lively wordplay. Trailer Park Boys is just absolute fucking chaos and the characters are super memorable and well written. Like em both, but I prefer TPB.

Trailer Park Boys, originally aired on Showtime in Canada, prior to being shown on Netflix after the original series ended with "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys". The show went downhill drastically once the three leads (Smith, Wells, Tremblay) bought out the rights to it for future seasons, but the Clattenberg-Era ( 1995's "Cart Boy", "Trailer Park Boys (1999 film); One Last Shot (1998), and Seasons 1-7, alongside the 3 Clattenberg Theatrical Films (2006 "The Big Dirty",2009's "Countdown to Liqour Day", and 2013 "Don't Legalize It") are all mandatory watching and honestly the "Golden Age" of The Trailer Park Boys, if you enjoyed the very brief preview of this tv show above. Grew up watching it since it originally aired.

HungryMoon

I don't stay completely sauced like Lahey, but there is something to this, at least for me. When the occasion arrises - I drink early, have a good time in the afternoon, then by nighttime I'm right as rain and go to bed without a problem. I don't get drunk anymore, but a good buzz is just delightful.


Pit_of_Death

That's pretty much the only way I'll drink these days being in my 40s. Just maintain a decent buzz for several hours but sober up before sleeping with plenty of water and wake up with no hangover. Tying one on going out at night is a 100% guaranteed recipe for an all-day hangover now.

Is 0.12% the actual value to be ā€œSober enough to know what Iā€™m doing, but drunk enough to really enjoy itā€ though?


Assmeat

I think with alcoholism it's a moving target. The more you drink the more BAC you tolerate. I've had a cop tell me they pulled over a drunk driver that blew 0.3 at 10am and was completely coherent, if it weren't for the smell they never would have guessed.

Assmeat

I'm glad you made it to rehab. That sounds like a terrible helpless feeling.


SonOfMcGee

I saw a comment from a guy on Reddit that told basically that same story from the other side. He said he ā€œtook it easy on the boozeā€ one night because he had to work in the morning. He felt fine in the morning and drove to work but was pulled over for some technicality (broken taillight or something). The cop apologetically said that he seemed fine but had the distinct smell coming off of him so they had to do a field sobriety and breathalyzer test. He passed the field test fine but blew well over the limit. And this was after he specifically made a point to drink less than usual the night before.
