Friday Funny

Today I'm unveiling my new theme for Fridays. You've had a long week. You deserve to laugh. So from now on, you can find a Friday Funny here at the Babbling Flow! And this first one is a freaking doozy. DOOZY.

My writing workshop instructor, Bob Bausch, introduced me to these on Tuesday.  I'll let the videos speak for themselves, but I have to tell you. Take the time to watch both.  You'll need about 12 minutes to fit both in. If you trust me, and you should because I know funny, you will watch both.

First, an 80s video in allllllll it's splendor.  Really funny. Like, ridiculously funny.



And now, the "literal" version of the same video. DO NOT SKIP THIS. If you're not in tears from laughing so hard while watching this... I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.


I hope you enjoyed!  Happy weekend :)

  1. LOL! Who says cougars are a new phenomena? I was always a bit creeped out by the schoolboy/ teacher thing in this video (even though one of my favourite things to do is to belt this song out while I and dusting my LLadro. OK,OK. I don't actually have any LLadro.- G

  8. Oh, I LOVE the literal videos Web site!! My favorite I've seen is Meat Loaf's "Anything For Love." Ah-Ha's "Take On Me" is pretty great, too. But this one might put both of those to shame, because...wow. Awesomesalsa. (Jon Paul said that in my comments yesterday, because "awesomesauce" is so last week. I'm adopting it because I like it so much.)
