Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead

Just the other day, National Lampoon seemed reborn as 2015 documentary Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon spawned an A+E scripted TV series. One small hitch, however, as the real National Lampoon isn’t too happy about the association, saying “A+E has no rights; they can’t say ‘National Lampoon’ at all.”

The National Lampoon name may not mean for comedy what it used to, but that didn’t stop Douglas Tirola from diving deep into history with documentary feature Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon. Now, we’ll get to see that history from another angle, as A+E Studios begins work on a scripted series adaptation.
