That is absolutely hilarious! I'm going to leave the room now and post this link on my facebook wall.

Thanks, Amy and James. Those were both great.

Almost as good as the dead parrot sketch.

Having just spent Christmas in the UP of Michigan, which was settled heavily by Finns, I had to send that link to my friends who live there.
And James, I have many memories of watching The Two Ronnies on PBS. Thought it was odd but fascinating.
"Sherlock" Humor
The BBC has just created a new version of the Sherlock Holmes stories, set in modern times. It ran here in the US on Masterpiece Mystery in December. It is outstanding. One of my friends got me the DVD first season set. Go rent it, buy it, or You Tube it.
Naturally, there is a *ton* of new fanfiction about the series. This short piece shows the never-ending contest between Mycroft, and Sherlock (remember, the original Holmes preferred telegrams, now he texts).

The End of the World
Another funny video from the file of stuff my son seems to find on You tube. But I must admit, it is kind of funny. Warning there is some pretty colorful language in this one. It must have been made by an Xer. It's right up our alley...

Here's a post on my blog about a daughter of George W. Bush that I made up who will be celebrating an upcoming birthday (that doesn't really exist).

Sorry, but for a geek like me, this is funny.“We don’t allow faster-than-light neutrinos in here,” says the bartender. A neutrino walks into a bar.
Don’t get it? Wait a second. It will hit you.

Hilarious. There has to be some metaphor in this, but I just can't think of it.

That's cruel if it's not photo-shopped.
Somewhere I'm thinking something about the realities of the modern economy and lifestyles of the rich and famous.
Or maybe just, "Good dog! Sit. One more and they're all for you. Whose a goooood dog?"
You see it's funny 'cause "we" are the dog.
I hope that's a fake. Sorry for being so cereal on a humor thread Buddy.

What Yers/Late Wave Xers/Early Millennials learned from 80s Cartoons
8 Important Lessons Learned from '80s Cartoons
CARTOON: Popeye
LESSON: Spinach is good for you.
Sure, it doesn't taste as good as candy, ice cream or opium, but it' full of essential vitamins and minerals that'll make your muscles explode like battleship cannons. If you want to triumph over the bullying Blutos of the world and win the affections of your own lovely, leggy Olive Oyl, pound a can of spinach at least once a day. Or put it in your corncob pipe and smoke it, like everybody' favorite ornery, mumbling sailorman. Toot toot!
How it affected us as adults: You only need to look at the steroid scandal rocking Major League Baseball to see that Popeye raised a generation that is willing to use performance enhancers. Also, it should be pointed out that Olive Oyl was the first anorexic sex symbol.
"There have always been people who say: "The war will be over someday." I say there's no guarantee the war will ever be over. Naturally a brief intermission is conceivable. Maybe the war needs a breather, a war can even break its neck, so to speak. But the kings and emperors, not to mention the pope, will always come to its help in adversity. ON the whole, I'd say this war has very little to worry about, it'll live to a ripe old age."
I found this absolutely hilarious. We need to laugh more.

Here's a bit of humor about people who should get passports in case they have to travel abroad on short notice I thought of: In a divisive election year (like 2012 is shaping up to be) those who have family in states likely to secede from the Union if the election doesn't go their way ought to consider getting passports ahead of time if they plan on visiting them for Thanksgiving or Christmas in case the state secedes between Election Day and the holidays (like South Carolina did right before Christmas of 1860).
Maybe humorous, but I have seriously wondered when we'll need passports to cross state lines.
Seriously dated humor. A (late) Silent identifying with Xers, while mocking Boomers by dismissing Millennials.
Best...
I saw this yesterday and had to share. People are too funny. I think my favorite one was #13 about why you can't eat your finger. But there are several that run a close second.

How early exposure to Dungeon and Dragons manifests itself later in life...
Because we all need a laugh, the culture wars thread needs to be buried, and I know a good number of you did have early exposure...
