I remember watching these shows as a kid and didn't really understand why he acted the way he did. (acting like he was drunk that is) So the comedy in it was sadly lost on me. I remember learning many years ago that Mr. Brooks never actually drank alcohol ever, but was just really good at imitating folks that did. Now I watch some of these vids and see just how funny he was.
I've always wanted to do that at some social gathering. Not sure I have the nerve but it would be fun.
