This is My Kind of Humor
Guys will think this is funnier than women. Guys like Three Stooges and Jackass and all those Spike video programs with people getting hurt.
I seldom – almost never – laugh at produced videos on youtube that are supposed to be funny. Even Jib-Jab. I smile, but hardly ever laugh.
Until today.
Maybe this should be my “green” post for the day?
Jannaverse and Mr. Fabulous have this thing about hot sauce apparently. (I just started reading them regularly.)
I was talking to Janna last week about hot sauce. Janna loves hot food and hot sauce. The hotter it is, the better she likes it.
Me? Not so much. She calls this “being a pussy”. I call it “having an educated and sophisticated palate”.
To-may-to. To-mah-to.
So, I got the idea to do a video post where I tried some hot sauce. I picked the hottest sauce I could find in Publix, and sat down at the kitchen table, had Mrs. Fab start the video camera and…
Hey, I LOVE the Stooges. It’s one of the reasons my husband married me. Our boys play Three Stooges all the time. Matt always wants to be Moe; Sam likes to be Curly.
I agree that hot sauce is rather, I don’t know, pedestrian. Same thing goes for ketchup. I can handle hot sauce on Mexican food (which is SO ubiquitous in So Cal) but apart from that, forget it.
I think all the hot sauce with the goofy names comes from the same place, just different labels.
I remember once growing up, the pastor’s wife sent some jalapenos home with us from church. Dad had been boasting that nothing was too hot for him. At lunch he proceded to be the big studly man in front of his wife and two daughters and just bit one right in two. I remember laughing so hard I fell off my barstool because not only was he sweating profusely, but I really think he wanted to cry. All we could do was laugh. A lot.
I love a good stupid, slapstick comedy and you can’t go wrong with a video where someone gets wounded, although I do not and have never liked Jackass. I rented both of ’em for Paul one night and I thought the poor guy was gonna have a stroke he was laughing so hard. I think they go too far, but the Stooges? Oh yeah, that’s good stuff.
I loved Jackass too. But that was when you couldn’t see this kind of stuff on youtube. Now it’s lost it’s edge.
