Lets Have Some Fun

You know, I have found that what I consider funny videos today are not what I would have appreciated as funny ten years ago. I just found new movies to laugh out loud at recently that back then I might have found amusing or worth a chuckle. Age is not the factor I point to here in deciding what is funny. What is funny is subjective, and depends upon the mindset, upbringing, and overall experiences of each group or individual, so how about we consider a variety of funny videos in hopes that each of us will agree with at least one offering on the funny videos list?



WARNING: SOME SPOILERS MAY APPEAR BELOW



I won't attempt to categorize them, so do pardon what will appear to be a mish mash of selections appealing to different and differing ages, cultures, ethnicities, subcultures, and the like (or unlike):



Eddie Murphy's stand-up, Raw, has so many moments that if you can take your eyes off the colorful leather clenching his fine form long enough, you will be rolling.



If you grew up in (or, better yet, were a teenager in) the seventies, Mike Meyers' Wayne's World will have you sliding out of your seat in the theatre, embarrassing your friends with your identification with and surprise responses to Meyers clever manipulation of the just barely pre-mullet years.
