In looking at possible topics to bring you, dear reader,
we scour the Interwebs to find the most interesting and relevant things to
bring to your attention. Liz: Usually
if I need a laugh, I either watch some standup comedy from Louis CK, or for a
quick pick-me-up, the Head Over Heels literal video. Donnalyn: My sister
and I will say the line "the bathroom is that way," from the movie There's Something About Mary to get each other to crack up. Doesn't matter when
or where we say it; it works every time. Mike: A few
"viral" gems from the Web's past make me laugh out loud (er, excuse
me, LOL) every time I watch them: The "Grape Smashing Lady," "Chickety-Chinese Chicken
Prank Call," or the shot-by-shot spoof
of Journey's cheesy '80s music video for "Separate Ways"
-- yes, some are cruel, but boy, do they make me laugh. Adam: Slapstick does it for me every time. That little squirrel trying to get the acorn in the Ice Age movies puts me on the floor in fits of laughter. Dave: I'm old
school. I’d rather watch an old movie than most of what passes for "comedy"
nowadays (though I do admit that the film version of The Producers
musical puts me into hysterics -- yes, I'm the one…). I still find Buster Keaton,
Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd,
the Marx Brothers,
and Preston Sturges hilarious, and with all due respect to the above, W.C. Fields's It's a Gift
is the funniest movie ever made. Chris: Flight of the Conchords is huge in my household. My wife became obsessed,
then my son, and now that the show is apparently done, the CDs get played all
the time. As a parenting bonus, their songs have become an excellent lesson
in how to not use swear words even though you now know them.
