Several years ago my family and I went to an improve murder mystery dinner theater, and my family being the goofballs they are decided to cheer for the bumbling idiot character anytime he accomplished anything, regardless of how menial. So as the night went on the bumbling idiot character would start to cheer for himself followed by all of us, and eventually the whole crowd anytime he did anything.
So now if anyone in my family does something super menial but it was still a big task because circumstances, like mowing the lawn after a long hard day at work, we cheer “Yay, Eric!!!” After the name of the bumbling idiot, from an improve murder mystery dinner theater performance, from 12 years ago.
This is suspiciously wholesome as fuck
Fruity lager.
My friends and I used to be Four Loko fans back when it had energy drink mixed in. When that got taken off the market we replicated the feeling by drinking a 5 hour energy and a forty.
Well one day my friend decides to pour his 5 hour energy into his forty despite our protests. He takes a big gulp and smacks his lips and says it tastes like a fruity lager.
One by one we all pour our 5 hour energies into our forties and smack our lips and say it tastes like a fruity lager. Finally the last guy does it and takes a sip and immediately spits it out saying it tastes like ass.
We all crack up because we all got tricked and couldn’t let the other guys not drink this nasty swill so everyone played it cool until we were all in it together.
We still text each other Fruity Lager and crack up over a decade later.
I used to live near a road that was called “Old Fort Rd”. It was near the highway and one time, this person added a line to the exit sign with white tape so it said “Old Fart Rd.” My wife and I always got a good laugh out of that.
I once saw a road sign that was supposed to say Putt Corners but someone painted it to say Butt Corners. Which is amazing because butts don’t have corners.
Except SpongeBob SquarePants
Burning DVDs at work a long time ago. The software showed a little progress tracker that showed a word like “pending” followed by a percentage. Near the end of the disc, it got stuck at “Pending 100%” before crashing and failing to finish the disc.
100% pending became my go-to for no progress.
Mid-key savage!
None pizza. Left beef.
When I was a kid, my family would sometimes go to one of those Ryan’s Steakhouse restaurants. Their slogan was, “Where the folks are friendly.” This slogan was on the front door with those decal letters.
At the one we went to, though, someone pulled off an “R” from that slogan, so it read, “Where the folks are fiendly”, and that always gave me a smile as a kid.
There was a very weird comedy series back in the day in the UK, called ‘Jam’. Many of the sketches were surreal, sometimes quite dark, often with haunting ambient music like Brian Eno.
There’s one particular sketch that never fails to do me in, for decades this sketch has amused me. I present for your viewing pleasure: Mr. Lizard it’s utterly stupid and I love it
I love it.
Holy shit that’s right up my alley, I love weird shit like that!
Is that Jim from Friday Night Dinner?
That’s him! Mark Heap. If you liked this video (a bit of a crime that I could only find it in such low qual, his facial expressions are amazing), consider checking out a show called Green Wing. He’s sort-of a main character and very, very ridiculous in it. It’s a ‘hospital show’ but don’t let that put you off, it’s just the setting, the scenes are all pretty bizarre.
Someone with a giant feather.
Therapist Joe says 1001 lbs of feathers weigh more than 1000 lbs of concrete
Mine would have to be Chanel 9 Neus from The Fast Show…90s UK sketch show with Paul Whitehouse. The whole segment cracks me up every time… they had one each episode. It’s done so well, and all without breaking character.heth-eth-eth-eth, meth-eth-eth, peth-eth-eth… Pi pis na… boutros boutros gali
