Next Up: Laughter

This week’s podcast will be all about laughter. In honor of that, a few videos that always make us laugh.

The Last Stand of Yakov Smirnoff

This video is guaranteed to make Shawn laugh every time. If you listen to the very end of the Extremism episode, you will hear us paying homage to this video. In fact, when Christopher’s wife heard the end of the episode and our laughter, she suggested we do an episode all about laughter.

So here it is, The Last Stand of Yakov Smirnoff:

And in case you’ve never seen it, or it’s been so long that you’re like, “I kinda remember that guy,” here’s a commercial from the mid 80s with Yakov doing his thing:

Remember, folks: In Russia, Men in Gorillas podcast listens to you!

Christopher Has No Class

There is a structure to Shawn’s favorite humorous online video. One could argue it takes a certain knowledge of world history to appreciate — it’s about a guy who made a career talking about growing up behind the Iron Curtain and then becoming lost and desperate after it came down.

Christopher’s favorite funny video online is a dog humping a stuffed Pikachu (NSFW):

He’s also quite fond of this one as well, which has nothing to do with dogs humping things:

And…a month ago, he watched this in its entirety (NSFW) (Christopher knows the moment at 2:20 rather well):

He’s writing this entry in third person after midnight and just farted. He’s tired, and it made him laugh.

See? Boy has no class!
