One of my favorites: “Let’s Make a Date” on Whose Line Is It Anyway? (VIDEO)

I needed a chuckle, and I can almost always count on these guys to give me more than just one.

How they managed to do this every week, off the cuff, is beyond me…but they were great at it.

Enjoy:

Political Funnies….

Haven’t done one of these for awhile, and after yesterday’s post, I needed a laugh.

So…, here’s nine of ‘em :

Politics-free day (aka “Laughter is the Best Medicine”)

Wow, it’s been a long week.

The advice I gave these past few days, several times in fact, was that after a week like that, you need to take a day (at LEAST a day) and relax. Unwind. Recharge. Play with the kids. Go to church. Enjoy your family.

And laugh.

There is no better medicine than laughter.

So with that in mind, no politics today. We’ll be back at it next week, I assure you…but not today. However, I do have a couple of things I’ve been saving…

I needed this: the “Parent Rap” (VIDEO)

Came into the office today, and work is 3 feet high. Both of my sons have grown out of most of their cloths, even though I swear we just bought them new stuff a day or two ago. And to top it all off…..my youngest needs braces.

I am, of course, thrilled.

Just another day for us parents, right? Well, with that in mind, thought I’d share the best video I’ve seen for a very long while.

***And, for the record, if ALL hip-hop was this entertaining, I’d listen to it waaaay more often.

It’s Laugh-with-a-graph Day

We’ve been hitting politics all week, and I’m calling “time-out” for the day. There’ll be time for politics tomorrow.

Instead, we thought you’d enjoy some of these graphs that we found on the humor site, GraphJam.com (which now appears to have been absorbed into another website?).

Have a great one, gang.

Time to Laugh

It’s the weekend, and we’re just tryin’ to relax.

…Emphasis on “try“, of course…

So today we have two routines from one of my favorites, Bob Newhart. I don’t recall either of these, so we must not have owned this particular album as kids. Too bad: they made my boys laugh, so it’s a good bet we’d have liked them at that age, too.

Have a great day, gang,

Some Fun for your Weekend

It’s the weekend, and we thought we’d share a few more clips from (my) new discovery, The Piano Guys.

***I know that the other Head was secretly holding out on me, even though she insists that she merely “forgot” to bring this group to my attention. Yeah, sure, like I really believe THAT…***

Anyway, here are three more vids for your enjoyment. The first one is absolutely inspired, and even my two sons loved it. The other two are a little less “clever”, but are just as amazing, musically speaking.

The most unusual headline I’ve seen in ages….

Usually, there is either a political or religious story that catches our eye. Today, however, one headline stood out among the rest. Easily.

In fact, I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t a joke headline from The Onion.

From Canada’s National Post:

***MYSTERIOUS ‘GOAT MAN’ SPOTTED IN UTAH MOUNTAINS***

Now admit it: you’d read that story. Heck, with that headline, you pretty much HAVE to.

I’m not a hunter, so I’ll ask the hunters out there: Is this normal? I mean, do you guys rent bear costumes or deer costumes, too?

I’m just askin’…

OGDEN, Utah — State wildfire officials have identified a man who has been spotted dressed in a goat suit among a herd of wild goats in the mountains of northern Utah.

Phil Douglass of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said Monday the mystery man is a 57-year-old hunter from Southern California.

Douglass told the Standard-Examiner that the hunter called officials and provided enough information to put their curiosity to rest. Douglass says he didn’t ask for a name.

The man told Douglass he was preparing for an archery hunt of mountain goats next year and testing a goat suit. Douglass says the hunter came to Utah because he heard it was easier to get near goats for training.

The man described his suit as a hooded painter’s uniform and a fleece.

Last week, officials said they were worried the “goat man” was putting himself in danger, either from the animals themselves, or by being mistaken for a goat by another hunter.

UPDATE:

After literally minutes of research, we believe we’ve figured out where this guy got the idea:

 

Ledge Psychology

Just got back from vacation……..and really don’t have time (or energy) to post anything today.

So.

Here’s one of my favorite routines, from one of my favorite comedians. Don’t think I’ve heard this since school, and I recall being rather jealous that I didn’t think of it first.

Have a good Wednesday, and we’ll be back to normal tomorrow.

House Cleaning

It just dawned on me last night that I have so many of these saved, I have forgetten where I first found most of them, what I’ve done with some others, etc.,…

So today, I’m cleaning out my digital ”garage”.

Happy Tuesday, folks.

While I’m working on something else…

…please accept this offering from the “Way Back” machine.

I only vaguely recalled seeing this, so I did some extensive research (OK, I Googled it…) and found the following:

Luxo Jr. is the first film produced in 1986 by Pixar Animation Studios, following its establishment as an independent film studio. It is a computer-animated short film (two and a half minutes, including credits), demonstrating the kind of things the newly-established company was capable of producing. It was the second Pixar short to release with a Pixar film (Toy Story 2, in 1999) after Geri’s Game was released with A Bug’s Life in 1998.

It is the source of the small hopping desk lamp included in Pixar’s corporate logo. In a subsequent re-release after Pixar became popular, a pretext was added to the film reading, “In 1986 Pixar produced its first film. This is why we have a hopping lamp in our logo.”

In 1986, Luxo Jr. received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film. It was the first CGI film nominated for an Academy Award.

This certainly does capture the magic of the Pixar studio, even back then. If you can give life, emotion and personality to a pair of desk lamps, ….well, you’re pretty darn special.

Some Comedy To Tickle Your Funny Bone

Reblogged from That Mr. G Guy's Blog:

After reading JTR's post on Louie Anderson, I commented on how some of the funniest comedy I'd ever seen was on the Carol Burnette Show. Here's one of the all time great skits;

Or this classic;

Mr. G is right: these ARE excellent...and I'm old enough to remember seeing them the first time around.
