Mrs. WeHaveCookies was sitting at her laptop across the room from me a few minutes ago, when the silence of our respectively autonomous surfing habit indulgences was broken by the sounds of a YouTube video that she was watching. I listened for a moment or two from afar, until my curiosity was piqued.
Me: “What is that?”
Her: “Some comedian on stage.”
Me: “He sucks. Why are you watching it?”
Her: “I don’t know, there’s something that’s supposed to be funny…wait…I think this is it…”
That was the last thing I remember hearing before everything became a blur of laughter and tears and my inability to breathe.
You’re just going to have to trust me (even a few minutes into it, when you’re certain that I’ve pulled a fast one on you) and see for yourself.
If he is indeed a dad, I’m guessing his children either all gave themselves chronic hernias from hysterical laughter at a very young age, or they adapted to their environment by learning how to play it stone-cold straight in order to survive.
Yeah, it’s really an audio thing more than anything, but the emcee’s reactions are pretty good, too. You just can’t describe that sound other than to say that it’s the sort of thing you thought only existed in totally fictitious TV character creations of the 40s and 50s. Except it’s real, and if it doesn’t make you laugh your fool head off for five solid minutes (unfunny parts that are actually scripted notwithstanding), then your sense of humour may need emergency reattachment surgery.
Even thinking about it just now made me giggle.
Hee hee hnuyck.
OMG thanks for posting that. Co-worker and I completely lost it. Just now regaining control.
My aunt, sister, and I all laugh like that when we really get going. One of the few times I’ve laughed myself into hysterics was the three of us laughing together.
Watching these clips over and over again is starting to have an effect (wrt laughing in general) similar to saying some every day word over and over again and thinking “that is such a strange sounding word”.
I have a coworker who snorts when she laughs. At office parties someone is always trying to get her to laugh because it makes everyone else laugh, which makes her laugh harder. Within 10 minutes everyone’s ready to pass out from lack of oxygen.
Well… The ‘Hill hill hill’ laughing was mildly amusing. But I didn’t laugh. I did like that this ‘country’ comedian’s actual act was Bohemian Rhapsody.
