-Go over to your friend’s house and find him deceased (if he’s not deceased, leave and try different friends until you get lucky).

-Now that you have your corpse, round up another friend.

-Snag the dearly departed’s credit card and hit the bars.

-Also, bring the dead guy around with you.

Well, that’s what two Denver rad party dudes did.

Prosecutors have charged Robert Jeffrey Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25, with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation.

The men found their friend Jeffrey Jarrett unresponsive at his house late on Aug. 27, before loading him into Rubinson’s car and taking him to a local bar and grill, where they drank on his tab.

They then went to another bar, before returning Jarrett’s body to his home and continuing their night out using their dead friend’s ATM card to withdraw money. On their way home, they flagged down a cop and told him they thought their friend was dead at his house.

Neither Young nor Rubinson has been charged with Jarrett’s death, the cause of which is still to be determined.

At any rate, I’m sure it’s all just one big misunderstanding. They seem like pretty trustworthy chuckleheads.

Footloose. Dirty Dancing. Saturday Night Fever. Weekend At Bernie’s 2. It only took 17 years, 3 months, and 9 days, but now the dancing corpse has officially inspired a dance craze. Southern rap group I.S.A. have created the hit song thing with music behind it "Moving Like Berney." As you’ll see in the video below the jump, the dance is easy enough to do. In fact, it’s a modified limbo where you wiggle your head while shuffling about aimlessly. Much like the corpse of Bernie Lomax did in the presence of music thanks to a botched voodoo ritual in the poorly-received but now bonafide hit sequel. I’m so glad this exists. Just in time for my best friend’s wedding!

Shake your dead groove thang after the jump…

Gladden Entertainment is looking to milk the cash-corpse that is Weekend at Bernie‘s. In addition to their announced Mannequin remake, the company is also looking to dig up and drag the famous cadaver around the Hamptons for another go-round. Between that and Short Circuit and Gremlins, the 80′s are back and nothing is sacred. Fingers crossed we don’t see Dax Shepard in a Raising Arizona remake anytime soon.

The new Weekend at Bernie’s is said to be a remake of the original with no cast or crew yet in place, and it may seem like an unnecessary do-over at first. However, I can totally see where they’re coming from. The original Weekend At Bernie’s left us with a lot of unanswered questions and now that film technology has finally caught up to the premise, perhaps we’ll finally see an accurate depiction of a dead guy getting hit in the nuts by a buoy while waterskiing.
