It was 10 years ago today* that we were gifted with an unbelievable video. Australian Corey Worthington, then 16 at the time, threw a huge party while his parents were out of town. The party got so out of hand that the police had to be called in. Corey and his parents then faced the possibility of a fine of AU$20,000. Corey ended up being interviewed by a local news station and what followed was one of the all-time greatest viral videos.
*I’m not positive of the exact date, but the official(?) Facebook event page for a 10-year party is scheduled for today, January 8th, so I’m rolling with it.
There is just so much to love about this interview. Everything that comes out of this kid’s mouth is pure gold. I would list some of the best parts but only putting them in writing wouldn’t do them justice. Plus it would essentially just be a transcript of the entire interview. Now don’t get me wrong, he comes off as a complete jackass; there’s no getting around that. But everything about him, the attitude, the quotes, the outfit, is just too good not to laugh at. It had been a long, long time since I’d last watched this video. And now I’ve rewatched it probably a good five times once I realized it had been a full 10 years since it came out. So sit back and watch and rewatch this piece of internet history.
