Watch half of Key & Peele re-enact that famous drunk James Brown interview to perfection

Nailing every drunken, crazy moment..

Way back in 1987, the Godfather of Soul James Brown took part in a famously drunken (high?) interview following being charged for spousal abuse. Long having been one of the internet's favourite videos, none other than Jordan Peele of popular comedy duo Key & Peele has taken on the famous interview for a brand new re-enactment and pretty much nails it.

Compared to the crazy original, it's almost impossible to split the two. Check out the original below and compare it to Peele's version, what do you think? Spot on. Regardless, this is still essential viewing. LIVIN' IN AMERICAAAAA!
