Fun fact: after Ed recorded this he called James Acaster who was in America. James ignored the first calls cause he thought they were a mistake and didn’t want Ed to waste money. However when Ed kept calling he answered in case it was an emergency only to hear Ed giggling down the line telling him he was doing Drunk History. This then started a tradition of other comedians drunk calling James after doing the show cause Ed told them to. Also, Ed passed out on the sofa and was still there when Nish Kumar arrived to record his episode in the afternoon. Ed then woke up when Nish was filming, invaded his set, and kept interrupting him. Basically Ed Gamble is a little shit and I love it.
I love the idea of being James and just randomly getting calls from a bunch of drunk comedians who’ve just spent the entirety of their journey from sober to drunk focusing on some specific historical event because your friend is a shit stirrer. It’s the cabbage all over again
@matzychompchomp they talk about it a little on the Off Menu episode with Cerys Matthews but Nish gives an in depth account in Ed's new audiobook as well as talking about them sinking a boat as teens lol Edit: it's at about 49 mins
That's over 1 litre of spirits in one sitting and people have died from much less. If it was that many spaced out over say, 6-8 hours it makes more sense but I'm still dubious.
how is no one realising that this is simply impossible for anyone who's not a serious alcoholic? if he really did drink that much and was still able to do this he must drink every single day
Watch the first Duncan Trussell Edison episode. He drinks absinthe and beer which is a lethal combo he barfs like a savage and talks about whole food inside his barf
i cant believe he invoked the euro warehouse kiddy diddlers to compare his interview. I dont wanna hear about that movie ever again but damn they must need a better studio
I'd never heard of the film when he said that - I thought he meant an actual Serbian film - like maybe Serbian cinema is generally really quiet and weird, and everyone just stares at each other.
@@danmoar94 its about a porn star who is tricked by his brother and dodgy producers to diddle people to death including his own son. (Brother was jealous and wanted the wife) In the end the family kills themself and the producer comes in and orders men to diddle the bodies on camera.
@danmoar94 no, it's a horror film about a pornstar who comes out of retirement for a film that turns out to be a snuff movie. A genuinely well made film but gets incredibly fucked up.
The directors of these are such geniuses, they have to choose the exact lines for the actors to act, but also which drunken slurs, pauses and laughs are funny and appropriate
They will probably edit the story before filming the drama. Then they will know exactly what they need. Thats how I've made drama-documentaries anyway.
As a parent of two T1D kids, all I could do was worry that someone was watching Ed's blood sugar when he finally passed out. Please take care of Ed Gamble, he's an absolute treasure.
As a t1 of 32 years who partied hard in the early 2000s including lots of vodka red bull (full sugar) it’s not as bad as you might think. Also with a CGM and Pump it’s fully manageable. It the next day or day three (if you on a lads weekend) that the hypos start. The risk with beer in particular is the glucose is very quick acting and leaves quickly so you can’t really carb count. Ed is drinking white spirits (vodka and gin) so no carbs at all and probably sugar free red bull. Diabetes isn’t a blocker to alcohol or fun
@@notforsaletoday1895they kept him on set because they could get a hold of wife and he couldn’t get a hold of James Acsater. Nish Kumar was filming in the afternoon after him and Ed came through and interrupted Nish’s filming. Nish offered to bring him home but I don’t think they let him as Nish drunk too.
@@notforsaletoday1895 why would he have a hypo? I agree it wouldn’t be fun if it happened but what would be the cause of a hypo in this scenario? It’s like saying if you drink and get run over from not looking where you are going wouldn’t be fun there is a risk with drink in many forms. There is no activity, if anything adrenaline from filming/excitement would push his sugars up.
Me too - thats a bottle and a half of vodka. He's not normal. Edit: I checked my maths because I'm sh*t at maths. It was 900ml spirits. So the equivalent of a bottle and 3 double shots of something flammable.
He started binge drinking in his early teens like any good british kid so I'd say his tolerance is probably fairly high. That and maybe cause he's part Irish lol
Despite being absolutely wasted, Ed Gamble did a pretty spot-on South African accent. Not sure if that was even the accent he was going for, but it was still spot-on.
The guy organising the escape was a captured South African, hence the accent. Would be a bit weird if the Nazis were keeping Germans in their POW camps
@@artyb27 yes agreed I made the same point on a different post. Even so I’ve drank full sugar red bull and vodka (used to be a night at Uni called VodBull for 50p a shot) and the high glucose is only short term especially if dancing and moving, it’s also an uneducated comment as he likely uses an insulin pen or pump to adjust if he did have a red bull. I’d be more concerned about a hypo whilst drunk than hyper as the symptoms of a hypo can be mistaken for being drunk and therefore laughed at and ignored.
@@artyb27they were sugar free Red Bulls. TBS is nearly funnier - they couldn’t get a hold of Ed’s wife and Acaster was in the States so they wouldn’t let Ed go home. He passed out but came through in the afternoon to interrupt Nish’s drunk filming. They wouldn’t let Nish bring him home either. 😂
Hey! This is my video I edited for reddit the other day! Not complaining tho lol I was too lazy to put it on youtube and EVERYONE should see this absolute mess haha
They actually wouldn’t leave because they couldn’t get a hold of his wife. In the afternoon he came through and interrupted Nish Kumar’s drunk filming. They wouldn’t let Nish bring him home either because he was drunk too 😂
I genuinely thought I was the only one that speaks with a South African accent when drunk enough. I've never figured out why, I just know when I get to a certain point of drunk I sincerely have a difficult time not speaking English with a South African accent. Edit: Yeah I mean NOW I know Roger was a Soufrican RAF guy so Ed was just being accurate, but I'm still taking it 😂
There were Americans (and Canadians) there. They were moved out before the escape. The tunnels were named Tom, Dick, and Harry. I couldn't tell if that's what he said. The Boss was shot dead by order of HItler, along with 40 some odd prisoners of war.
You shut your mouth!😅 OK, maybe he looks like James Blunt a bit. They've both got a Jim Morrison thing happening. Do you mean because Russell Brand is a comedian? (Well, WAS a comedian before turned out he was an actual predator)

This is just like a Serbian film
to be fair, if I had 18 double mixed drinks, I'd be dead in a ditch
he must've had an insane number of drunken toilet breaks
It really is a heroic amount of alcohol.
I used to be good at drinking. Now after 2 drinks, I'd be sleepy and bloated asf

I've never seen one of these where the celebrity goes from sober to borderline alcohol poisoning before the end of the video.
Some of the OGs back on CollegeHumor went pretty hard
Watch the first Duncan Trussell Edison episode. He drinks absinthe and beer which is a lethal combo he barfs like a savage and talks about whole food inside his barf
Watch the one with Kyle Kinane
Until this
@reconstructo Yeah Ed went above and beyond😊
"in realistic fact, only three three men escaped the rest were decaptured or kilmed." wow
kilmed 💀
He's not wrong
"either captured or kilmed"
"This is like A Serbian Film" about how everyone is silently watching him blither through his lines is crazy LMAOOO

I think they said they were doubles too 😭 I'd literally be deceased
Seven is not that much in the north.
@@natalierennebeck3767 I think it was seven doubles
He's a type 1 diabetic. I'm surprised the ensuing sugar rush didn't kill him. Must've taken a little extra insulin I guess.
@@lowellthomson1958 well you drink them over the night. And the diubke isnt any more red bull
Respect to the actors acting out his exact drunk slurs.
HAHAHAHA
Exactly!! I was looking for a comment acknowledging this
escAIEOpe at 2:12 is the absolute highlight
That's the whole point of the show.
I really think the commitment to the bit from the actors is what makes Drunk History work so well
The way he switches to first person like he was there is always so funny to me
a truly british amount of alcohol units consumed in one sitting, fair play to ed for representing

@@JayROwen that’s right! I’m just saying I think their comedic instinct and directing is impressive
"that is the same as plonker collapse" kills me every time
“Someone shot a shot of bullets” 😂😂😂😂 3:55
Considering he has Diabetes, the idea of 7 red bulls alone might have nearly killed him.
Don't forget this is the same man who eats 8 desserts in a row as a judge on GBM
You can get sugar free red bull. As T1 diabetic he’ll be fine with the spirits
They could have been sugar-free red bulls tbf
@@artyb27 I think after 11 large G&Ts I don’t think I would have been in the right frame of mind to check!
Just the sugar from the alcohol alone
He smiling with the eyes closed at the and look so adorable
I love Ed gamble. Task master continues to introduce my poor American tastes to incredible comedians
hitting the replay button when this one ends is some real whiplash lol. It's like a whole different person
I love how the actors mime what’s actually being said by the celebrity telling the story
"Ohh, I don't...something's going- going on here, I think someone mightbe- might- MIGHT be trying to esCAPE"
Ed:”Fuck you Nazis.”
Crew: “Who said that?”
Me, to myself: _“He’s totally gonna say ‘Me.’”_
Ed: …………………………………………………….Hitler
Me: 🤯🤣
🤝
I did the same thing 🤯🤣
I'm pretty sure he said 'Hideler'
I thought he was going to say Winston Churchill or something. Hitler def caught me by surprise

Ahh yes the "23thrth of merch"
Holy fuck Ed is plastered though.
Its not just the alcohol, I think the amount of red bull wouldve blown my eyes out of my skull
They were sugarfree as Ed is T1 diabetic not sure about the caffeine but he managed to pass out so 🤷🏻♀️

Different countries do have different measurements of shots although I have no clue if the UK is less than ours or not 😂

If that consumption list accurate, not sure how Ed is conscious much less speaking.
That's fair. Maybe Ed has a very significant alcohol tolerance, or he spilled a LOT of it.
@@yuppy64 He is way too young to be drinking at a Dennis Hopper level.
He started binge drinking in his early teens like any good british kid so I'd say his tolerance is probably fairly high. That and maybe cause he's part Irish lol
That’s a Friday night with the family in Britain
Typical for an alcoholic. it is what it is
To quote Roy from IT Crowd on Englishmen: "You people drink like you don't want to live!"
Despite being absolutely wasted, Ed Gamble did a pretty spot-on South African accent. Not sure if that was even the accent he was going for, but it was still spot-on.
The first half I was like ''oh, he doesn't seem that drunk? No way he is the drunkest guest they've ever had on.''
Oh how wrong I was.
Do you see his pupils? Dilated as FUCK.
It's like he had a stroke.
We've all become so used to hyperbolic titles!
They wouldn’t let him leave set as they couldn’t get a hold of his wife. He came through in the afternoon and interrupted Nish Kumar’s drunk filming 😂
"Someone has shot a shot ...of bullets"
