Ever wonder what American history might sound or look like through a beer-goggled lens?

Maybe not, but in Drunk History, you'll wonder how you've never seen it before.

For each episode, comedy filmmaker Derek Waters plies his friends with drinks and asks them to recount major events in American history.

As if that weren't funny enough, Waters recruits famous faces to act out the booze-fueled retellings.

Juno's Michael Cera, Jack Black and Pineapple Express' Danny McBride have all contributed to the laugh factor by starring in past installments of the series.

The most recent episode (embedded) stars Paul Schneider (Lars and the Real Girl) and Steve Agee (The Sarah Silverman Program) and tells the gripping tale of William Henry Harrison, the ninth U.S. president, who was elected at the age of 68 and died 30 days later.
