Our buddy John over at The Droid You Are Looking For brings the science on this one, with a series of infographics showing how his level of inebriation affects his willingness to watch different kinds of films. The results are funny and very insightful.
For instance, who knew that he’d have to be at the point of defecating in his pants before he’d watch Pretty Woman? It’s on a highly scientific chart, so it must be true!
.
This is but one of the eight film genres John dissects. Does booze make a slapstick comedy funnier? Well, to a point. Does it enhance the enjoyment of a gripping drama? Not so much. Head on over to The Droid You Are Looking For to see the rest of the Inebriation vs. film genre charts – I think you’ll agree he nailed it.
And while you’re there, check out the post where he show us how some of TV and Hollywood’s best known characters would look like if they were from South Park. Some are uncanny!

Oh, how I wish I’d used that headline instead of the one I used.
See – I bring the magic, John!!
hat. Magic Hat.
Big thanks for the mentions, guys.
Ooh, I NEVER bring the Magic Hat!!
Jim has a way of making you feel bad for everything you have ever done, and yet you still want to be around him. Like moths to a flame really.
I think someone needs a hug.
See what I mean, John?
It’s how it works for the kid brother. Trust me on this one.
Oh now I see – another “long-suffering” older brother!! I wasn’t the one holding my brother under water for fun or force-feeding him Oreos smothered in mustard. That’s big brother stuff there!
Heh… nope, the other way around. As in, “I am also an expert employer of these tricks”.
Wow, now I feel like an idiot, but I still like you John.
You’re right – you’re like a Jedi!
Good.
Ahh Jim, when are you going to realize that those were completely isolated incidents that I have been paying for over the rest of my life! Think if I actually gave you something to be really torn up about like I showed Mom all your Playboys, or I went to Cali with Dad and he rented a sports car for me, or perhaps Mom and Dad paid for me to go to visit our sister in France without you, or, or, or…
You see you had a pretty wonderful life…don’t you see what a shame it would be to throw it all away over a measly little thing like $8000 dollars…Ooops accidently segwayed into “Its a Wonderful Life.”
It’s always the guys with the beards that whine the most…
Quick Poll….How many guys that frequent this site have facial hair and now hate Jim?
They don’t hate me for it, it’s part of the magic!
It’s like Mom always used to say…Someday you will wise off to the wrong guy…then you’ll be sorry.
I’m much more careful now. After all, I live in New Jersey, which means I might wise off to a Wise Guy!
Full beard.
What sort of self-respecting beer lover lives north of the Mason Dixon line and doesn’t have a beard, at least in the winter time?
Unfortunately I’m up for a Rom Com in my back and forth movie selection with my wife. Last time I chose Inception. In the last couple weeks we have watched Caddyshack, I saw Tron without her, and then Inception. I’m due for Matthew McCaughnawhatever or Sandra Bullock any day now. Thanks to your post I will now treat it as a scientific experiment. I will drink one beer every 10-15 minutes and see how long it takes to start enjoying the movie or pass out. Both are acceptable outcomes.
Hmm…. mayhap a whole other infographic series needs to be created. “Movies I’ll Watch With Women But Not By Myself”.
Movies I watch Without My Wife would be more telling, no?
I think that one would be a pie chart that’d look like Pac Man; Pac Man’s body would = porn, presumably.
In my case it would be when his mouth is closed….
I’d like to suggest an infographic: How Drunk Do I Have To Be To Watch Transformers
Put me at 32 oz of IPA and I start shouting at the screen “That’s Tad Hamilton. TAD HAMILTON!!!”
🙂

I like the fact that you’re willing to do field work, Matt. Science never sleeps!
