OK, I thought we needed a category here where we can go for a laugh when we need it. Anything you think is funny, tell us about it!

I'll start. Here's a couple of things I think are funny:


I think this is funny because "Chocolate Choo Choo" is exactly the kind of drink I order. I don't like alcohol unless it tastes like fruit punch or a milkshake.

Kids in the Hall - Girl Drink Drunk

Here's some great MadTV sketches:

The Irack


Watch this only if you have some time on your hands...it's 5 minutes long.


Michael Jackson - old and new


Watch this when you have ALOT of time on your hands. It's almost 11 minutes long. "All-Star American Idol"

1. The real Ryan Seacrest with frosted tips.
2. Brian Dunleman!!!
3. Real Randy Jackson
4. Real Paula Abdul
5. Real Kelly Clarkson
5. Fake Simon sings!

All-Star American Idol

OK, a couple more I remembered...I miss Dave Chapelle's show. The Comedy Central ones take longer to load and may have a short commercial at the beginning

I love Keanu, but this is hilarious:

The Matrix spoof

Skit with John Mayer. DAMN! I miss Chapelle's Show

Dancing

OK, I always used to joke that Tupac was putting out more albums than I am and he's...you know...deceased. I think Dave Chappelle agrees...

I wrote this song a long time ago

If you're easily offended, you probably shouldn't watch this. Dave Chappelle made a joke about Wayne Brady being white, so Wayne came on and pretended to be a gangster. There's fake shootings, bad language, etc., but I think it's very very funny.

Wayne Brady sketch

OK, again, if you're easily offended, don't watch this. It is one of the best sketches EVER as far as I'm concerned. It's the most well-known sketch of Dave's. It's a blind black white supremacist.

Clayton Bigsby

What a great idea for a thread!

I will come back here sometime when I have the time to watch it all!

Alright...I'll just keep posting in here until the thread catches on...

Sky was talking about watching George Carlin clips on Youtube and I decided to bring one over for you guys. It's the biggie. The one he's best known for. The one that can still cause controversy...

The Seven Words You Can't Say on TV

We'll miss ya, George. Pesci bless you.

That is the best one! He also has a funny one on airport security.

OK, I thought this was fitting. It's George Carlin talking about death. It takes on new meaning with his passing. A couple of warnings:

1. FC - DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! I cannot stress this enough. Your head will blow up from upsetness and anger. If I had been through what you just were, I would not want to watch this either.

2. He is irreverant. George Carlin is a well-known atheist. He'll say some stuff religious people will find extremely offensive. If you have pretty strong religious beliefs DO NOT watch this video.

Enough caveats. Here it is.

George Carlin on Death

Now we were just talking about this. He does a speech about airline safety. I could not find the whole thing in one shot. The two vids overlap a bit. You'll know when. Watch the first vid up until "there's less wind in here". Then stop and switch to the second.

Once again, I will warn you. George baby doesn't believe in euphemisms or politically correct speech. If you get upset about hearing certain terminology about, say, the handicapped, etc., you might not want to watch this. It is really really funny, though, so I hope you do. Especially if you're scared of flying.

George Carlin on airplane safety

At last! Something for everyone! Oddly enough it's about common experiences. At the end it gets a little crude, but shouldn't horribly offend anyone, which is rare for our Georgie.

George Carlin - Common Experiences

I sent this to frazz via email, but needed to share it with you guys. This just tickles me to no end.

Love that!! Have you also heard the phrase: Boys are like dogs and girls are like cats. The mother of two grown men and a daughter told me that.

Thanks for sharing that GE! It made me smile too!

That is so funny! And true!! I laughed out loud! Thanks so much for that!

Janice, as a mom and a daycare provider I can say with 100% certainty that boys are like dogs and girls are like cats! The boys are so easy to please and the girls always have "issues"

GE, I got the e-mail and was going to tell you to post it here! LOLOL

LOLOL

LOLOL!!!



But if girls are cats and boys are dogs, what do bird people like me count as? Hermaprodites?

What about the lamb people. Or the tortoise people?

Hmmm...Maybe we're putting our own prejudices onto the kids!

Yes, frazz, bird people are hermaphrodites and like to crap on people from high up, lamb people are calm but really scared of electric razors, cow people like to chew their food thoroughly, rooster people like to get up early in the morning and scream WAKE UP! Tortoise people like to stay under the covers.

Trust me GE, anyone who takes care of groups of kids can see it. The girls argue more, hold grudges (and for a long time) can't all decide on what to play and who gets to be who, and the list goes on. The boys - hand them balls, cars or trucks and they have a blast! If they get into a fight it is over in no time and no hard feelings. I have been doing this for 20 years. I have talked to so many moms who have both boys and girls and would tell you the same thing. Hey, there is a reason women are called "catty" and since you watch shows like The Bachelor I know you have seen that quality in women. Of course NONE of us here are like that! And of course not "all" girls are difficult and not "all" boys are easy. Just in general that is the way it is.

Oh, and since I have watched kids from newborns on up - I can tell you with all certainty that boys pick boy toys and girls pick girl toys on instinct and not based on being forced to play with toys appropriate to their gender. Sure there are girls who like sports and are more tomboyish and there are boys that love art etc. But I've observed it for years. I fill the playroom with many different toys and from the time they start crawling/walking the boys head for the trucks and cars and the girls head for the dolls and dollhouse. I always encourage they play all sorts of games etc. and I can get the boys very interested in playing house, restaurant, store etc. The girls are less interested though in playing with the trucks and toy garage and fix-it shop.

Oy, not to bring this into the "make me laugh" thread, but I think from the moment girls are put into a world of pink and boys blue, we attribute certain qualities that are supposedly "instinctive" onto each sex. I did kind of a study on this when I was younger. I watched kids in an elementary school classroom and the difference in the way teachers treated the boys and girls. I talked with them and found out that boys were universally given certain attributes and girls were universally given certain attributes.

I do get upset at the women who say they don't have women friends because "all they do is talk about hair and make up". I'm like, REALLY? Who are you hanging out with? Why are you a traitor to your own gender?

I see the guys acting the same way the bachelorettes do on "The Bachelorette" but whereas the men are seen as "competitive" the women are seen as catty and backstabbing. They're doing the same thing. That is not to say that when the women are practically killing each other over a guy that I think it's great. I am personally offended when I see people acting like the stereotype we attribute to them. I just mean that if a man and a woman exhibit the same behavior, the attributes are given different names, with the men looking way better.

My mom worked in an elementary school for many many years, so I had the opportunity to see it first-hand. I find the term "catty" to also be horribly offensive. Most of the vulgar condescending terms are saved for women.

I don't know any boy or man who's just totally happy with everything. I think that boys learn from an early age to suppress their emotions and dissatisfaction, while girls are encouraged to express themselves. I think that's why by the time they're in school, they know their role and act accordingly.

I don't think when Janice shared the quote from her friend she meant for any deep social debate to take place. So sorry about that Janice. I got what your friend meant. I think it's funny, and personally rather true. I thought the part of "girls are like cats" and the expression "catty" for how many females can act kind of funny/ironic.

I myself was referring to the way "babies" and "toddlers" respond to the toys and activities. I've watched that for 20 years and I stand by that 100%. I don't teach elementary school. It is unfortunate that that takes place.

Little boys in MY daycare are easy to please and happy! No problems with them at all. Just the way it is in my daycare. I'm stating my personal experience for 20 years with very small children. My daycare - happy boys having lots of fun easily = puppies. Girls - arguing with each other, stomping away from each other, wanting more "alone" time = cats. That's what I took from Janice's friend's quote
