Jordan Peele of Key & Peele fame has shared a word-for-word remake of James Brown’s viral “drunk” interview with CNN.
The original video features an interviewer attempting to talk to Brown about his recent domestic abuse charges. Brown, however, continually derails the interview, breaking into musical non sequiturs, childishly contradicting the reporter’s statements of fact, and being generally out of touch with reality. Brown’s strange behavior has led to the incident being dubbed his “drunk interview”.
Jordan Peele’s reenactment captures every minute detail of the viral video, from the costuming down to Brown’s every last mannerism.
Watch the original interview and the parody below, as well as a blistering rendition of ‘Get Up Offa That Thing’.
