Answer: A Drunken Safari

Question: What do you get when you take African animals, delicious fruits, and good ole fermentation?

Whoever did the sound effects for this movie is a GEEEEENNNIUS! [singsong] Jaimie R., hic!

This might also be a good time to remind you of another redonk Safari over in Kenya (thanks Megan D.)

Animals don't let anipals drive drunk. This has been a message from the alcoholic fruit committee.

There's a cream liqueur made from marula fruits called Amarula. It tastes kind of like vanilla Kahlua.

Natural Amarula! I don't know if it's being sold in the U.S. yet but Amarula is a S.African liqueur made from cream and fermented marula fruit. So delish!! Now it's even better that I know it's natural = healthy!

That is FANTASTIC.

A lesson in drunken eating.

omg this is so reminiscent of "The Gods Must be Crazy".. the voice, the music, the silliness.
And that .. (baboon? gibbon?) clutching his forehead around 3:20 .. tooo moishe!!

@Ophelia: Yes! We have it in Texas. It's definitely a favorite. My friends all call it "Chocolate Milk."

Whee...Nothing's quite as funny as an anipal walkin' sideways!

I love the monkey with a hangover. And also the "night shots" which are really day shots with a filter--reminds me of the old Bonanza t.v. show and other westerns.

I love how the elephant is so drunk it can't walk and STILL eating fruit!

Mel
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 09:55 AM

Mary (the first): that's because it's by the same director and has the same narrator! This is from the movie "Animals are Beautiful People."

"when night falls....*boink*"

What is this - Looney tunes??!? This was fantabulous!

The elephant tilted forward was priceless.
The monkey with the headache, so very familiar.
Still, I fully expected to see the whole hangover, replete with the poor things vomiting.
Never seen a puking elephant or monkey.
Just wondered if they suffer the way we do.

Oh my gosh! This is from an hour long program called Animals are Beautiful People. I recorded this from TV years ago and this part is just the funniest thing I've ever seen, especially the monkeys! It's a great program, very good-natured and funny.

2:35 -- "Too Drunk to F-"

This is nothing. I've been to 35 Grateful Dead shows and this is no different from the parking lot beforehand. ("Superkindveggieburittos for your miracle....")

I'll just bet that if George Strait were to take a Safari and came across this drunken silliness, he'd come back with a GREAT SONG called...are you guys ready? **AHEM**

AMARULA BY MORNING!! :D

I'm sorry.

No, I'm not! :P

 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 10:21 AM

too funny! and who knew there really are pink elephants stumbling around? i feel the baboon's pain -- he's got a fermented fruit monkey on his back.

cheryl
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 10:22 AM

WAAHH! That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I was cracking up even before they got drunk, at the monkeys in the trees: "SON OF A B*TCH! STOP SHAKING THE GOD D*MN TREEEEeeeeee!"

The very long-legged animals--like the giraffe and the ostrich--were the best. I must find me some of this Amarula (even though, at 5'2", I won't look NEARLY as redonk if I should get stumbling drunk).

Juno
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 10:23 AM

Thankfully there isn't any lions or tigers around to get some of the drunken monkey morsels etc that were too intoxicated to protect themselves!!!

juno- yes, you would. :)

OMG, we used to watch this video in school all the time when the teachers didn't feel like teaching class!! I'm so glad that someone mentioned the name "Animals are Beautiful People." This is truly a classic.

Somebody get Juno some Amarula, STAT!

Can I have my Amarula with Amaretto?
On the 'tocks?

Oh my goodness! That poor monkey with the hangover had me in hysterics! Too, too funny!

My biology teacher in high school showed us this one day when he'd "come home way too late" to teach class. I.e., still drunk at 9:00 in the morning.

I love this!

if you haven't watched this movie, you need to rent it!

it's called Animals are Beautiful People and I was able to rent it from Netflix. omg amazing.

liz
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 10:51 AM

I've totally been that monkey from 2:36-2:40. I've probably been some of the others, too, but they're in those 'lost time' blackouts.

hehehe Theo - on the 'tocks! *snort*

Wow, Peter, HUGE slam on anteaters, out of nowhere! ;-)

I love the birds that are walking veeery carefully. I've been there.

 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 10:59 AM

OMG! At 2:45 that monkey is totally holding his ween!

Hilarious clips.

Bahawhawhawhaaaaaaaaw!! That elephant desperately reaching for the fruit with this trunk just about killed me!!! ROTF! And did anyone think Tim Gunn walked into the room, when those tall, skinny birds walked into the picture? I imagined him saying, "Hello Designers.... ...what's going on here?"

Jwlls
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 11:03 AM

Ahh, the majesty of wild animals. Looks just like the spring breaks I sort of remember from college.

jabbo
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 11:06 AM

If I remember correctly, those ugly birds are, throughout the program, portrayed as the aloof, disapproving neighbors who look on in disgust at the antics of the smaller, happier mammals. So you can imagine what they're thinking as they observe the drunken depravity: MAN, WHY WASN'T I INVITED???

Erebella
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 11:09 AM

Amarula liquor is truly wonderful but best enjoyed in limited moderation like a glass at a time. It's really rich and delicious. Expensive enough that it's a treat every once in a while. There is a website for Amarula liquor - google it. This video was so funny - I was cracking up so much. Good to know even animals don't always show good judgement like us humans.

Joy
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 11:16 AM

OMG, did I actually just see a *drunken inchworm*?!

Zanna
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 11:22 AM


@Ophelia...um, yeah, natural = healthy? Rattle snake venom is totally natural, drink up! lol


I can't help but think of the song from the Lion King "When I was a young wart hooOOOoOoog!"


Balamuthia
 |  Aug 25, 2008 at 11:26 AM

Ummm...yeah. I'm pretty sure Ophelia was referring to foods and beverages that are for human consumption.

monkey with hangover is awesome!

I knew I remembered this- Animals Are Beautiful People- my mom and I laughed so hard at this scene. It brings back such great memories.

Okay, I just have one thing to say:

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.
