Now with an orchestra: Drunk woman on YouTube upset over Obama

Ethan Persoff has remixed the "Drunk Lady on YouTube upset about Obama's reelection;" now she has an orchestra to match the tinkling ice cubes in her shot glass.

• [tristan eldritch]

  Poetic justice – everybody is sharing her shit now.

  • [Stacey Hall]

    If you go to her facebook page she is threatening everyone for sharing her video in which she whines that no one shares her videos. Claims she’s going to sue everyone for copyright infringement lol!

    • [Aeron Michaelangelo]

      It seems that after all these years there is now a karmic rubber-band system in place to shut down anyone being an exceptional dick on the internet. I love it.

• [joe k.]

  Even with the soothing music I can only listen to about 2 minutes of it.

  • [Itsumishi]

    I was really digging it until about 4.30, when i suddenly, really needed to turn it off.

    • [tristan eldritch]

       Yeah, same as that.  I lasted five minutes and couldn’t take any more.  She needs, or is beyond, help.

  • [Florian Bösch]

    1m30s in, I’m gonna top your record, I’m gonna do it, arghl, I can’t.

• [Zombie Marykate]

  She’s a peach… ain’t she? No wonder no one would share her stuff before. (Embarrassing)

• [Warren_Terra]

  Now I’m curious what Scott Johnson or similar could do with this, performed by the Kronos Quartet or similar.

  … it occurs to me, I only actually know two Scott Johnson pieces, both from Kronos albums, both quite old now, and like both of them. I should check out what he’s been up to.

  • [nvlady]

    The Kronos Quartet is awesome!

  • [chris jimson]

    Get “John Somebody”, his album from 1982, perhaps my favorite album of his, in some ways a little dated sounding but still an impressive piece of work.

    • [Boundegar]

      My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

• [GawainLavers]

  In the background…is that the sound of the world’s tiniest violin?

• [KWillets]

  That’s the best piece on viral marketing I’ve heard all year.  

• [Geir Gaseidnes]

  Sounds like Deadwood’s Calamity Jane.

• [JProffitt71]

  “It’s a bit hard to change your mind once you have been convinced on something long ago.”

  She has no idea how right she is, it is depressing.

• [The Life Of Bryan]

  Pardon me while I go make so very many epic ringtones.

• [medontlivenoprahsworld]

  She must be a wonderful neighbor.

• [Culturedropout]

  Wow.  “Get off the internet!”  LOL!  Made my day!  I love the sound of LOONS in the evening.  She doesn’t even know what “socialist” means. 

  • [Boundegar]

    Socialist means bad.  Obama is bad.  It follows by logic that Obama is a Socialist. 

    In the same way, one can prove that he is a Nazi from Kenya, and an Atheist Muslim.  See how simple it is?

  • [headcode]

    What I don’t get is just what the Republicans could possibly have been upset about these past four years.  There are a good many of us who had come to think of Obama as George Bush’s third term, what with even more secret government, etc.

    I guess it really IS just all about getting your candidate in the office no matter what the issues really are.

  • [Jelly Bean Raider]

     Until this video.. I had no idea she owned the net!

• [Nell Anvoid]

  I had to get myself another highball to get through this. And then another.

  She’s right though. I need to get off the f***ing Internet. 

• [HubrisSonic]

  I love you BoingBoing… 

• [Local__Man]

  Here in Colorado this is another reason to (legally) burn one. Good stuff.

  • [hymenopterid]

    Cheers from the Golden State, homie and congratulations on the win.

• [KWillets]

  If you’re experienced in politics, you’ll know shot glasses are not used with ice cubes.  

• [hymenopterid]

  I just realized this is intended to be her audition for Fox.

• [Keith Benoit]

  Xeni, I don’t think that was a shot glass we heard. Most shot glasses are too small for ice. And I’m guessing that most wouldn’t hold enough booze for angry lady.

  • [gwailo_joe]

    I’m thinking rocks glass…thus the tinkling of the delicious, cooling ice cubes.

    It was the shots (one after another) that filled said glass :D

• [Dr. Chronobiologist]

  Yay, it’s a rightwing Raleigh’s Soliloquy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok4gu2n5y2Q

• [Sagodjur]

  Any chance for an autotune version or maybe some dubstep?

  And I just figured it out that her voice reminds me of Mimi from the Drew Carey show…

• [poorang]

  I swear I thought this was Melissa McCarthy for a second, I cannot believe she is serious!

• [gwailo_joe]

  Nice remix…but like most here, I can only take so much (very little actually).

  Truly a quality rant, and I have experimented frequently with the drunken tirade…election night, this women was ON.  Strong work!

  However, since I’m not on her side (naturally), I can only smile when she asks if I am satisfied… the answer is yeah thanks, I am a little bit.

  But when a diatribe of righteous fury calms to ‘I’m sad and no one listens to me’…I’m out.

  Don’t need to wallow in the misfortune of others, I can manufacture plenty of my own.

• [Hosidax]

  I think I’m in love…  motherf*kers.

• [boise427]

  It is difficult to be concerned, saddened and aroused at the same time, but this chick has done it.

• [skyhawk1]

  Wait a minute is that Palin? She quite articulate when drunk. This just made my day! LOL

• [Florian Bösch]

  I wish we could have that narrated with Morgan Freemans voice :)

• [Jason Allen]

  LOL “Health care might be free soon” Well if this is bad I would love to live in a society that has social Health care!!

  Wait I do, I live in Germany and my kids have Health care and I pay taxe, and I am American!!! and a 3 time combat Veteran

• [gijoel]

  Can we get Betty White to read this?

• [Pokemon Otis]

  Well worth listening to the end when she describes her dinner: Chips and cheese dip, beer, cigarettes and butterscotch Schnapps.

• [Jelly Bean Raider]

  THAT.. is some weapons grade stupid!

• [Dave Faris]

  Well, let’s see … we had the Rove video on election night, disputing Fox’s call for Obama winning the election (denial) … now this one (anger). I presume we’ll soon have videos of them displaying bargaining, depression and ultimate acceptance, right?

• [Ian G]

  Made it to the end. Not sure if I won or lost though……

• [BradBell]

  An antidote :-)

• [joshuack]

  Couldn’t listen to the whole thing, but: The music sounds cool, straight out of The Incredibles or a how-to video on Covered Wagon Building. As for the star of the show, she sounds like she has a baguette stuck in her throat.  Raaaaanch party!

• [wrecksdart]

  I tried to listen the other day and couldn’t handle it.  Today…well, apparently she lives alone.  Shocker.  And yes, you’re welcome for your chips, beer, and cheese dip, unhinged lady.

• [jackbird]

  The diatribe around 3:30 is especially epic.

• [Arys]

  I had to listen to this to make sure she’s not a relative… :-/

• [Lori Smith]

  NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• [Katie Lacy]

  MY GODDAMN BUTTERSCOTCH SCHNAPPS

• [Mattttes]

  she sound just like Calamity Jane in Deadwood

• [Bryce Anderson]

  I swear, listening to it I feel like I’m making fun of the mentally ill.  It makes me feel bad about myself.
