We laughed

itsallovernowI'm kind of sleepy and blurry today. This writing frenzy is sucking the energy out of me faster than a hoover on speed. Therefore, before I post more writing, I'm gonna indulge in a list.
I have a laugh like a rabid hyena. I'm loud and unstoppable. Once I get going, not only can everyone in the vicinity hear me, but it's usually impossible for me to restrain myself. My sense of humor seems to reflect a battle between the suave sophisticated urban intellectual that I would like to be, and the inner 12 year old boy running around saying, Ha Ha. As a result, here is a list of 15 things that make me laugh every single time, without fail. (Upon reviewing this list, I realize that there is little evidence of the sophisticate. She's in there, I promise, really. Just carefully hidden, apparently):
1. Robin Hood Daffy - Yoiks and Away,splat. One of the greatest sight gags ever.
2. What's Opera Doc? and The Rabbit of Seville - I love Bugs Bunny, and you don't get much better than Bugs dancing up on Elmer Fudd's head.
3. The flamingo with a yoyo in Fantasia 2000. Really, I scared the old people in front of us when we went to see this at the giant amphitheatre of the freeway. I almost choked to death on the popcorn I aspirated.
4. The lovely and talented Mr. Kirby, the midwest's sexiest librarian, saying Booty. And he ain't talkin' about no pirate gold.
5. My sleek panthery black cat putting his head in a bag that's too small for him and then lifting it up, head still in bag and doing the blind Stevie Wonder bob and weave. Help, I'm blind. Why's it so dark in here?
6. The Simpsons, in particular, 364 slices of American cheese; first we get the sugar, then we get the money, then we get the women; and There's nothing slicker than a greased Scotsman.
7. Futurama. This show really is underappreciated. Bender in general, and the Slurm episode. So unbelievably disgusting.
8. Beavis and Butthead. Cornholio. Would you like a spatula?
9. Ghostbusters. No more needs to be said. When my dad and I saw this in the theater the first time, he literally fell out of his seat into the aisle. The usher was very, very scared.
10. The X-Files. Humbug. And yes, I've seen Jim Rose live. He's that fucked up. The Circus sideshow is that freaky.
11. Farscape. Revenging Angel and Out of Their Minds will always make my day brighter. Playing with your own breasts on TV. It doesn't get much better than that baby.
12. Bringing up Baby. One of the best screwball comedy's ever. Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and a leopard named baby.
13. Space Ghost. Why do we always hurt the one's we love. Why Banjo, why?
14. The Big Lebowski. Careful man, I've got a beverage here! Nobody fucks with the Jesus. Maybe it's funnier because I live with the Dude. Seriously.
15. Some Like it Hot. Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. But I'm a man! Nobody's perfect.
16. Damn, I knew I couldn't limit it to 15. This American Life. One of the greatest radio programs ever with Ira Glass. Their CD, Lies, Sissies and Fiascoes has some of the most hysterical moments of reality ever discussed starting with a recollection of a local theater production of Peter Pan that goes horribly, horribly wrong.
17. I almost forgot! Pinky and the Brain. My graduate school statement of purpose was lifted directly from the lab mice. I fully intended to take over the world if they'd let me go to grad school. They did, and my graduate career may be number 19 on the list of things that never fail to make me laugh and cry. Thought you were gonna be an archaeologist did you? Ms. I'm not sleeping outside, on the dirt with potential snakes! Needless to say, I was the only one surprised when I turned in my Indiana Jones Secret Decoder ring.
17. Oh, and sheep. Just because.

Date: 2003-04-22 12:20 pm (UTC)OMG! You've seen that movie?! That was one of my favorite movies when I was growing up! I've always been amazed that this movie is not more popular. Young Cary Grant! Young Catherine Hepburn! And the cutest leopard ever! What's not to like? *g*
Oh, and have you ever seen Red Dwarf? It's absolutely hilarious. (Well, the episodes that I've seen, anyway. I heard the later episodes are not quite as good...)
