Watch a drunken Jeff Goldblum pitch the iMac

Move over “Cheeseburger-eating Hasselhoff“, there’s a new drunk in town!

What happens when you take the classic 1999 Jeff Goldblum iMac commercial and slow it down about 30 percent? You get a hilarious piece of footage capable of taking Goldblum’s kids away in any future custody battle!

This works particularly well because of Goldblum’s somewhat slurry speech pattern to begin with. Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jonathan for the link!

    3. At first I didn’t think this would be very funny, but I’m happy to admit that I was wrong. I LOL’d. Great to see a guy from my hometown doing such amazing things!

    4. Yeah, I actually laughed out loud as well, and it gets better as it goes, which is great. Glad you liked it. It’s a great idea.

    5. You know, it makes me wonder if one slowed down other clips of Jeff, would you get the same result, is already LOLing at the possibility of a drunken rambles from his Jurassic Park soap box rants.

    6. Ha ha, too funny!

    7. I laughed until I stopped (which was around midway at which point it became a bit belaboured). If I’d stopped downloading earlier I’d have found it even more hilarious.

    8. That’s awesome.

    9. Yeah it’s great, but what you don’t realize is that this is the actual speed it was recorded at, he WAS drunk. They sped the clip up for the commercial broadcast so he wouldn’t seem drunk!

    10. Grreat Stuff!!!

  10. YHVH on Tue, 1st Apr 2008 10:56 pm

    12. Jonathan, you have just spurred the growth of another internet meme. Move over Rick Roll, it’s 30% Drunk Jeff.

    13. reccomend this graduates to being an entire website. screwify everything he ever said.

  13. McKinley Noble on Tue, 1st Apr 2008 11:07 pm

    14. That is ri-goddamn-diculously funny.

    15. Jeff Goldblum deserves better.

    16. You know, he kinda sounds like Bill Cosby

    17. Give credit where it’s due.
    This “meme” started on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson - who’s arguably the funniest man on television - where they created the “is Bush drinking again” gag, doing exactly this.

  17. Brian on Wed, 2nd Apr 2008 2:18 am

    18. So basically taking a late night comedy bit is considered funny now? Craig Ferguson’s been doing the ’slow down to make em sound drunk’ bit with Pres. Bush for a while now.

    19. hilarious! :))

  19. Telkom on Wed, 2nd Apr 2008 5:11 am

    20. How about a few Hillary clips? Drunk on stage? :)

  20. Tex on Wed, 2nd Apr 2008 10:40 am

    21. This just changed every movie he has ever been in for me. I am going to half speed them all now. You know there will be some gems in there.

    22. “This video is no longer available”

  22. brick on Wed, 2nd Apr 2008 2:40 pm

    23. ridiculous! but even funnier is Bush!

    You be the judge! Is the video slowed down or are they just plain drunk?!?!

  23. yep on Wed, 2nd Apr 2008 8:29 pm

    24. Hey, that man has a tiny cranium.

  24. rimbaud on Thu, 3rd Apr 2008 7:56 pm

    25. Uhhhhhhh IE for Mac sucks a big one. Thanks for reminding me: I’d almost forgotten

    26. Wow… i have to admit… i’m writing this response on my new macbook… and i also have to admit that i’m not very impressed thus far! this ad is funny as far as content goes but i’m sort of getting bothered by all of the “look what mac can do” b.s. like… “wow I can put pics and movies and whatever about myself up on the internet now!! omg! thanks Apple for changing the way we live our lives…” no… actually i’ve never even heard of whatever they were just talking about… but i DO know that there is something that’s not Mac specific and is propabaly the most popular communicative website in the world called FaceBook which Apple had no hand in creating… i guess i’m just getting tired about people who know shit all about anything pouring their love out for Apple products because its trendy….

    27. Awesome. Sounds like he had some shots before shot.

  27. Drew on Sat, 3rd May 2008 4:24 am
