From kids and cats to popular culture and political satire, funny videos are a perfect antidote to summer doldrums. And, since laffter is the best medicine, the cure for what ails you – right now – is a dose of ridiculous, off-the-wall humor.
Let’s start with a shoutout to the pesky sharks who’ve shown an interest in human ankles, thus making beach-going an existential struggle with nature’s power to be a total buzz kill. Yes, ladies and gentlegerms, extend a hearty “welcome back” to Baby Shark!!! Ha!!!! Ha!!!!
Our next video, titled The Gunfighter, was brought to my attention by a totally cool woman whom I met at a backyard soiree during the recent heat wave. Marie and I hit it off right from the get-go because her makeup was melting right before my very eyes. As I quite generously pointed out to her. And my makeup was dribbling down my cheeks in a black stream of mascara crud. As she so generously pointed out to me.
Proving my point that getting outa the house occasionally can bring new and extremely embarrassing experiences your way. For free!
Okay. Now everyone thinks their kid is awesome. That just comes with the territory commonly known as parenthood. There is no objectivity. We must accept this. Even when we don’t want to. Because we live in a civilized society in which telling a mom or dad, “wow, your kid sucks,” is just not done. Of course, these days, it’s totally alright to tell some parent, “Hey, I think your kid is a psychopath. But in a good way.”
And now I will share with you the true truth: I am in love with a kid who APPARENTLY qualifies as truly awesome. Here he is!
A compilation of funny videos would not be complete without this next one. It is, in fact, truly special. At least for me. And I hope for you, too, because my goal is to bring you not just cheap laffs, but deeply inspiring experiences that make you a better person than you are now.
Yes, my worshippers, this video is the definitive online tutorial for farting. In public. In fact, the tutorial is aptly titled, Ultimate Farting. {Note to worshippers: it’s more than 5 minutes long, but the longer you watch, the funnier it gets!}
Sir William (Billy) Connolly is a world-famous Scottish actor, comedian, artist, writer, and musician. Known for his idiosyncratic and often improvised observational comedy, Connolly has topped many UK polls as one of the greatest comedians of all time. If you’re not familiar with his work, you are about to have your world rocked. {Note to worshippers: this monologue may be considered politically incorrect. But, hey, give it a try anyway!}
As is quite obvious to everyone on Earth, no funny videos list can ever be complete without, well, you know, CATS!!! Since everyone’s taste in CATS!!! is different, I’m going to offer you TWO about CATS!!! First up: Henri 2, Paw de Deux, the first CATS!!! documentary to capture the inner and outer life of CATS!!!
We conclude our funny videos with Bohemian Catsody – A Rhapsody Song for Every Cat Queen and King! Struggling as I am with how to describe this video, I’ll just let you enjoy it. But I do think that Freddie Mercury would be pleased. NOTE: the following video was created by an amazing woman, Shirley Serban. Please visit her YouTube channel. She’s amazing.
WAIT!!!! STOP!!! DO. NOT. MOVE!!! If you are a Queen fan, love Bohemian Rhapsody, and are looking for more new covers, try this version. Just click on this link.
I loved them all, especially the French cat video! Merci beaucoup, Amy!
I love the French cat video as well. So world weary. So existential.
A great collection of funnies. I loved the gunfighter and the simulated farting in Times Square. The essence of the cat was captured in the Queen video (I like both cats and Queen).
Definitely worth the time to uplift my spirits. 😎
Thanks for the rave review! I’m especially delighted that you liked the farting video. Yes, you looked deep into the waters of my soul. And saw that they are shallow…
