Finally! I've been looking for a new diet. How it works is, you drink twelve beers, then you throw up all your food. Rinse and repeat.

The Miracle Beer Diet comes with a disclaimer ("If you think drinking beer will make you thin, then you are an idiot"), but I'll try anything to lose weight. I'll never look half as good as the blonde girl in panties in this video, but still.

This is the funniest of the livfilms videos I've seen. The movie has a deadpan style that instantly sells us on the idea that we're watching an instructional video. It's almost sneaky the way the writing combines factual research with outright whoppers. ("One 12-ounce beer contains about 100 calories... but 12 beers don't have any calories at all!") There are solid scenes of physical comedy, and the highlight of the video is when the girl punctures a can beer of beer and chugs it, but the video wouldn't work as well as it does if the dialogue weren't so good.

The Miracle Beer Diet gives me reason for hope, specifically one line: "Eventually perhaps you'll even forget the source of that internal emptiness that you've been seeking to fill with food." If only.
