Thank you, Tess! Much needed! Just in the last week, I had to seek out more humor; was just getting too depressed by all the insanity. Humor does indeed help a lot!

Thank you, Tess! Much needed! Just in the last week, I had to seek out more humor; was just getting too depressed by all the insanity. Humor does indeed help a lot!
[edit]: Should mention that these first three contain "blue language":
* Others here mentioned Jimmy Dore -- a wacky standout is his recent riff on San Francisco's Dore Alley and their bizarre rules ("Get your kink on ... Pants optional, but COVID vaccination required" for some indoor events).
* “Couch surfing at its finest” (in a muddy field): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJVSbEDS8ds
* George Carlin “Germs” excerpt: https://rumble.com/vnawe7-george-carlin-germs-immune-system.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=4
Cleaner stuff:
* Episodes of the British sitcom "Are You Being Served?" Decades old, so some sexism and racism, but mostly great fun
* Victor Borge, for folks who like humor and great music combined
That couch surfing is hilarious!
You're welcome! Glad you like the videos. Gotta keep our spirits up in these trying times.
This one is fun, too. Stumbled on it while looking for the in-the-mud video. That Jamie O'Brien is a sport! You can go to the 5-minute mark if you just want to see the couch-surfing part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znXTEUEoak4&t=300s
Thank you, OldLeonB! Love George Carlin!!! And Jimmy Dore and Victor Borge. I will check out the others you recommend!:)
