Today’s clips are all SFW, apart from the last one, which patently isn’t.
The first clip has been around for a while and is horribly cruel and very, very funny. A talk-show host loses it when he hears his interviewee’s voice:
That’s from Belgian comedy show Boomerang;.I like Belgian humour as it’s nicely twisted and surreal, unlike much Dutch comedy, which seems to me to consist mainly of white guys shouting obnoxiously and mugging wildly while spouting borderline racist crudities and making fart jokes or ‘alternative’ Dutch comedians who raise a knowing eyebrow so high it’s floating above the top of their heads.
Both specialise in making the audience feel both superior and transgressive and warmly, collectively Dutch. Both types invariably follow their act with a big finale, a lachrymose ballad with a twist in the last verse to, guess what, make the audience feel superior.
This does not appeal to me much: but show me a bunch of Belgians dressed as cows and mooing ‘ik wil buffel’ (I’m still looking for a YouTube clip) and I’m in fits of laughter. Why are the Belgians funnier than the Dutch? I’d really like to know.
Moving on: some people have really got the measure of YouTube and one of them is the very funny Chris of Cute With Chris. Here he gives a demonstration of how to completely annihilate a troll:
I do love to see to see an idiot get a righteous and funny putdown.
Chris also does kittens (no, not does kittens, you preverts). Here he asks, ‘Who will be America’s next top kitten?’ :
Poor, poor Donut. Will he ever get over it?
Bonus clip
Only one bonus clip today but if this doesn’t sate your comedy craving then nothing will. It’s absolutely, positively NSFW, or in front of your mother unless she’s the cool kind like me.
It’s the inevitable pairing that had to happen – Derek and Clive meet Statler and Waldorf :
