Zach, Yale and Nathan Hale

On a campus tour at Yale on Halloween we encounter Zach in his "dude" outfit and this hilarious tale of Nathan Hale, Big Lebowski style. "Jesus" looks on to complete the "Big Lebowski" theme. And, by the way, the people at Yale are pretty damn cool.

Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for putting up this video.

@shaiguy90 Haha. Yeah, this was really a great moment.

The amount of blatantly wrong information in this "campus tour" is disturbing. And this is supposed to represent an Ivy League institution?! How disappointing. Yale should use more discretion in choosing its representatives -- or make sure they have their basic facts straight, at the very least.

I found it to be quite refreshing and enjoyed the sense of humor with the Big Liebowski theme on Halloween. Let's face it, most people on a tour aren't really interested in the nitty gritty details and this was presented in a comical way that helped to discard the notion of Ivy League "stuffiness" and certainly made the school more attractive to those on the tour. But thanks for your comment !!!!

@superspelunker I know what you mean. Seriously. Among other things Nathan was DENIED a Bible before he was executed...I mean, this would have been funny-if I had no brain.

[nosyfieldstone]

@munnonockspirit I thought it was funny. Perhaps evidence of lack of a brain. Or maybe just evidence of a sense of humor and not taking things too damn seriously. Regardless, thanks for your post.

@nosyfieldstone There is a difference between humor and disrespect. People blur that line too often.

And yes, I do take things seriously. And I take pride in the fact. It helps a person go places.

And you're welcome.

Your kid wouldn't get in.

Why? Because Yale is a great institution that is allowed to have a sense of humor.

There's nothing wrong with the theme or even taking a comedic approach to giving a campus tour -- my issue is that pretty much everything he said about Nathan Hale was completely wrong. I doubt UVA would be so cavalier about Thomas Jefferson, for example. Not to mention other Yale tour guides repeat the same misinformation on a regular basis... someone really needs to get with the program at the visitor center. Why would I want to send my kid to a school that can't even get its own facts right?
