Beer Crucifixion Contest on YouTube
A few weeks ago, I went to the Chicago Improv in Schaumburg, Illinois to see the Jameson Whiskey Comedy Tour with my wife and our neighbors. After the show, we all hung out in the Improv bar where the four comedian from the show later joined us.
We had a great time hanging and drinking and then Bert Kreischer, one of the comedians, challenged a bouncer and the rest of us in the crowd to a contest. It was a contest to see who could stand the longest with two full pints of beer held out at arms length and shoulder's height away from the body.
I joined the contest and we all threw $5 in a hat to make it interesting...winner takes all.
There were five guys in the contest and there was a lot of trash talking and challenges during the contest. My goal was to hang in as long as possible and not be the first to drop out.
The bouncer quit first after about only 3 minutes. He had done one of Bert's physical challenges the night before and won and felt he had nothing to prove. We were down to four guys and I'll tell you, this challenge really sucked. It hurt like hell and my shoulders began burning after about 4-5 minutes.
At this point, I didn't want to quit. The guy next to me kept spilling his beers and shaking so I knew I could last through one more person at least. My goal now was to hang longer than him. And, I was eventually rewarded when he dropped out.
I unfortunately knew going into the contest that I wouldn't win but held out nonetheless as long as I could. I only joined the contest to have some fun and live a little.
I dropped out after about 7 minutes leaving Bert to fight it out with this other guy. Someone else who was watching our contest videotaped and posted the last 3 minutes of the contest. Unfortunately for me, he only posted the contest online after I dropped out but you can see me in the background several times in the video still holding my two pints.
This video is titled "Bert Kreischer Vs. the Audience Beer Crucifixion" on YouTube from Saturday, January 12th, 2008.
Enjoy!
