Lol I live in washington crossing PA and they reenact Washington crossing the Delaware every Christmas. I live right by the river and the boats they use are as tall as a two story house. As a kid I would swin from the PA side to the NJ side and back and I walk across the bridge often cause the alcohol is cheaper in NJ. And I always wondered how it was so difficult for them to cross that damn river. My street name is general Hamilton. You never really think about this stuff til you listen to it. Pretty cool
They forgot the part where Hamilton had a high fever and was told to stay at camp, but proceeded to say "fuck it" and went into the battle anyway without telling Washington
I’m pretty sure more fought for the British army, because they promised them freedom if they fought. I could be wrong but I remember seeing that in a lot of books
@@firecode6824 that is true, the british indeed offered blacks freedom by joining their cause, many of them who sided with the patriots still had to be enslaved
They have everything scripted, record the actor, then send it to actors, actors listen and act. Multiple takes as well Then in editing room they just overlay everything.
I didn’t even make it through the episode yet and my sides hurt from laughing so much. George Washington burping through the planning stages of the attack had me dying 😂 😂
The part at where he nearly burps at 1:07 is so funny, then he drinks at 4:05 and then Washington burps at 1:58 and 4:20, and then he says at 4:36, "Hey, Merry Christmas, motherf**cker." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rob Corddry as Washington is something I never knew I needed... and now that ive seen this, I think we need a full length Rob Corddry as "Washington" 😂
It's kind of funny to me that we look back at the Christmas Truce of 1914 and say, "Oh, isn't that nice that the soldiers could take that one occasion to carve out a little bit of peace and happiness in the middle of all that carnage" - and meanwhile the whole reason that crap can't happen normally is because of things like this, Washington's much-celebrated Christmas attack. And that said - this was war, you attack when you have the best chance of winning. But this must have felt like such a low blow...
I live in Trenton now. Its about 10 mins from Washington Crossing just across the river. The river isn't actually that wide and its pretty calm on nice days but in the winter the water gets dark, choppy, rough, and parts around the boulders that occasionally are sticking out become frozen. The river flows left to right from Washington's side he must've been getting pushed hard that nighttttt because the river can really move on windy days. For every foot they made it forward I imagine they had to be moving three to the right easy. With many boats it had to be quite chaos to navigate man, horses, and ammunition for continuously for hourssssss in the dark. Amazing. I encourage anyone to visit ONLY IF YOURE PASSING THROUGH its honestly not worth planning a trip too there isn't much in Trenton that's preserved other than the Trent house and a soldiers barracks turned museum. But it is the perfect area for a picnic. There's also his encampment you can visit and the house of the local patriot where Washington stayed the night before crossing. You can also take the same 9 mile trail his soldiers took to attack Trenton, and then took to leave the city after victory.
This Shit is the Best. I love drunk history. The way the actors deliver the exact dialogue from the wasted guy almost makes ME piss MY pants! The drunken attempt at the Scottish accent. Primo. And the "Dude. We gotta get across this river" line seals the deal. That should be the working title to "Washington's Crossing" which is what brought me to UA-cam just now. The belching worked in to the reenactment is gold along with the Red Solo Cup!
Can you imagine? Captured, taken prisoner & then having to cross that river in those conditions... on Christmas,.. & then damn, your hangover kicks in.
I am obsessed with Hamilton the musical so one day I was searched up Hamilton to learn the lyrics to one of the songs then saw one of on these videos and I was like “🤔” so I pressed on it and now I’ve Been addicted to these videos (Ps. This is how I learn history now😁)
Fun facts:German x-mas is on the 24th.The Hessians were simple conscripts that got rented to the British crown by the prince of Hesse-something.I'M drunk.
Washington was very ill during this battle. He had high fever and diarrhea. Which is why he is standing and facing the wind. He was half delusional from illness and still pushing on in the name of Freedom.

To be fair, 21 in 1776 years is like being 90 or some shit. Dudes be having grandkids and dying of dandruff at that age back then. The average continental grunt was an 8 year old.

Their CGI is on point; those aerial shots of the mighty ships battling the ferocity of the elements were majestic.
ElyssaAnderson I thought u were being for real till that part actually came up
Macbruber heh same. Was thinking what are those things moving around in a bunch of wet pebbles.... ooooh that’s the mighty ships! Nailed it!
Lmao dude 😂
I haven't seen such great shots since Greg Brady's filming of The Mayflower voyage!

When the narrator can't even say their name, you know it's gonna be a good time.
BeepBoop iBotU wtf?
BeepBoop iBotU the female narrators are really funny when they’re drunk though
They forgot the part where Hamilton had a high fever and was told to stay at camp, but proceeded to say "fuck it" and went into the battle anyway without telling Washington
Taylor Avalos
Washington: “damn it son, I told you to stay”
Hamilton: *as he’s going into battle off in the distance* “IM NOT YOUR SON”
Yep, that sounds like Hamilton.
Sounds like him
I guess you could say he's just
*_non-stop_*
That's in the other episode.
Or will be next season...
I visited Mount Vernon and saw George Washington’s genuine Solo party cup. It’s a priceless historical treasure.
The red solo cups during the story killed me
@ gingerboo... yep I caught that too... everything is accurate right down to the smallest details
Apparently they're seen as super american in other parts of the world.
I doubt there was a black guy Washington says, "This is OUR nation." to.
"and gener-, I mean captain Alexander Hamilton"
Hamilton: I WAS SO CLOSE!!
Don’t worry Hammy, you’ll be a general before you die.
“Hi... I’m.........”
“Oh boy”
The aerial shots of the boats 😆😆
Washington to Black Soldier: Hey man, this is the birth of our nation!
Black Soldier: Cool can't wait to be free when we win
I dont know, but was their even black people fighting in the revolution? And if so how many? Just curious.
J Taylor there were an estimated 5,000 African American soldiers in the revolutionary war on both the British and American sides.
@@robynwaugh1446 huh cool. Thanks for a calm reply! Never knew that

The aerial shots are incredibly inspired I can see you spared no expense.
“And Hamilton’s like... balls to the wall.”
Okay but, when wasn’t he? Most of congress literally hated him and just didn’t give af 😂
That sounds about right for Hamilton lol
He's not wasting any shots. Neither is the Narrator.

And gen.......captain Alexander Hamilton
Hamilton : he dismisses me out of hand
Instead of me he promotes Charles Lee, makes him second in command.
I’m a general! Wheeee! Yeah he’s not the choice I would have gone with, he shits the bed at the battle of Monmouth!

Ah yes, I remember Washington's famed red Solo cup
I love hear the stories n watching the reenactment synchronized with their voice n attitudes. Its funny as hell
Yep, thats the idea

Mine was 4:21 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those parts are very funny. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"We're gonna cross the river, it's like 300 yards wide, *BEEEELLLLCH!!* "
I love that they always implement burps and pronunciation fuck ups into the skit lol
What cracked me up the most is they power-boated back, nobody paddling XD
This made teaching the Revolutionary War for homeschool so much more fun. Thank you 😂
I learned more from this one video, than I ever did in school. Lmao
“Gereral I mean captain Alexander Hamilton” cries in Hamilton
he wants that promotion, man lmao
Made it to lieutenant colonel though
Washington on the boat drinking out of a Solo cup.
I would never get through being one of the actors due to laughter.
I read that Hamilton was supposed to cross the Delaware River but never actually did because he got sick during the winter a lot.
Hamilton actually got sick and was told not to cross but went anyway.
the man is non stop
@@christinao1528 that sounds accurate 😂 He really did whatever he wanted
5:15
Nobody gonna talk about the dude in the back? Lol
I’ve never heard of the cont-e-lentil army. I really am learning new stuff watching drunk history
It’s a celebration let’s have sausages and sauerkraut! 😂😂😂
And we makin' ze moneyyy! 🤣
*Now I'm the model of the modern major General*
"Making ze money" XDDDD
Can you imagine?
Captured, taken prisoner &
then having to cross that river in those conditions...
on Christmas,.. & then damn, your hangover kicks in.
I love how Washington has a cheap plastic red cup ^o^
Washington turns to a black man " This is the birth of "OUR?" nation!
5:17 omfg 😂😂💀
silver8o 07 I died 😂
The punch heard around the world: 4:48
I want a portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware where he’s taking a sip on his red solo cup. What’s more American then that lol
That would be a cool portrait.
Love the high-tech graphics
Washington has a plastic red cup while the narrator has a glass cup. Lol
It's kinda sad that I learn more about history from Drunk History than I ever did back when I was in school.
I am obsessed with Hamilton the musical so one day I was searched up Hamilton to learn the lyrics to one of the songs then saw one of on these videos and I was like “🤔” so I pressed on it and now I’ve Been addicted to these videos
(Ps. This is how I learn history now😁)
Rob Corddry was born to do these!
George: "Merry Christmas"!
The British and Hessions: "...I'd rather get coal instead of losing this bad".
As a time traveler I can say that this is exactly how that shit went down. Exactly. That party cup was actually mine.
Greatest Christmas story ever told!!!
Attacking on Christmas during peacetime? That's a good way to get your guild shunned on the server.
“Hi I’m…”
*long pause*
“Oh boy”
Where's my HamilSquad at?
Darian Cremer right here💫💫
These are so great.
OH MY GOD THE BOATS
when it came to washington, throughout the entire campaign, TIMING WAS EVERYTHING!
