Bertie, Jeeves and alcohol

[minor-god.livejournal.com]

What ho! Firstly, listen to this very funny Wooster-themed sketch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afAwEOIeWj4

Then tell me what you think?

The idea that Jeeves is "poisoning" Bertie by "keeping him addicted to alcohol" is quite extreme, but not at all outside of the cannon, I think. The amount Bertie drinks and smokes do occasionally make me shudder while I'm reading, but I assume that the work just exists frozen in time, in a world where nothing has bad consequences, so characters can drink and drink and have it treated humorously without it ever reaching addiction or health damage.

Nonetheless, this sketch gives an interesting spin on the whole thing.

Oh Gods, that was actually quite hilarious! I love the way they rant about Jeeves being a PA and having some kind of fix over Bertie, who seems to think that everything he does is wonderful, even when he makes him look like a complete ass (which is actually a fair point).
The poodle and Magnesia bit was funny too, as it seems like something that would actually happen in canon.

I have been meaning to tell you for like, three weeks now that this is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life. The first time I listened to it, I practically cried laughing, and I can't even count the number of times I've replayed it since. Thank you for sharing! :')
