Oy, do we need some light relief today, what with the world turning to shit before our very eyes.
But is it?
It’s so easy to get swept up in the drama of world events and miss the good stuff that”s happening under your nose. For instance, I finally got a new cameraphone yesterday and now I can post silly pictures of cats and interesting bits of Amsterdam. My tomatoes are doing well. My health is not actively declining. The sun is shining. there’s food on the table. My kids are fine, and it’s Friday. Life’s not that bad at all , if you can ignore the news.
Let’s ignore the news some more. Let’s be footloose, fancy free and generally irresponsible.with no particular theme, just a mixed bag of clips I’ve come across and found funny. First, Australian comedian Adam Hills puts things straight about America and Irn-Bru:
‘Take Your Mother To Work Day’ goes a bit wonky:
Or maybe Mom would like a white wine …. Al Murray The Pub Landlord, on British thinking:
While we’e on the subject of national differences, here’s an oldie but goodie – Bill Bailey, on continental police sirens:
Looks like Bill may have some competition in the beardie-weirdie comedy muso department – this is up and coming Australian Tim Minchin on sex dolls and the environment:
While we’e on the subject of inflatable yous (see what I did there?) here’s “Are you worried by climate change? I’m Welsh, bring it on” comic Rhod Morgan, who I suspect we may see more of:
But I saved the best till last – here’s a clip from my favourite comedian in the whole world (at least for the moment), the indescribable Milton Jones.
Now that’s quality comedy. I feel better already.
