Humor and Survival: A Self-Help Selection for the Fin de Semester

December 4, 2008, 5:21 pm

Okay, my pretties, these are my offerings for the funniest videos I’ve watched in the last couple of weeks. It’s the end of the term and we deserve a shot at the frivolous, the absurd, the ridiculous, and the cunningly crude. I feel a need to pass these tastes of humor around, like cheese straws at a party. Nothing substantial here, but fun at the end of a long day.

I’ve been forcing my friends to watch them and then I’ve been watching my friends react — which is probably illegal in Connecticut — and I’ve been amazed by who enjoys what. These are people I know pretty well, too. When I sit somebody down and look at them as they respond to Alec Baldwin in _SNL’_s holiday classic “NPRs Delicious Dish Schweddy Balls” sketch, I’m pretty sure I know what to expect; I’ve never asked a stranger to watch it with me before (you’re the first).

And I have been shocked. Some wild friends have been prudish and chastised me, while other more conservative colleagues have instantly forwarded the raunchier pieces to their 236 best e-mail buddies.

So, please, do me a favor: tell me which of these tickles you and why. I’d love to know.

A few might be considered indelicate by readers with a particularly dainty palate — accept this caveat and proceed accordingly….
