Thirteen Things That Make Me Laugh Out Loud
Now I could go all faux-holy on y’all and pretend like our idea of funny around here is when Pat Robertson’s tie knot is a little off-center or his cuff links don’t match (oh, that Pat…he is WACKY, he is). But I’m a firm believer in Christians keeping it real (first rule of “keeping it real”: don’t use the expression “keeping it real”) – and seriously, this is the stuff that cracks me up.
So for better or worse, here you have it.
1. Merritt’s impersonation of a ventriloquist. If I ever get video of it, I’m SO posting it here.
2. Ricky Bobby (I never claimed to be sophisticated, people.)
3. Listening to Mama or Sister tell a story, especially when they imitate other people’s voices.
4. “Arrested Development” – but it was cancelled, so I’m replacing it with “The Office”
5. Being anywhere with Daphne or Elise. Whenever I’m around them, I laugh until I cry.
6. The scene in “Urban Cowboy” where Bud and Sissy are having wedding pictures made and she looks down at her cowboy boots (underneath her wedding dress, no less) and says, “Mama, my legs are sweatin’.”
7. Toonces, The Cat Who Could Drive A Car
10. This “Saturday Night Live” skit (until the part where they start planning what they’re doing after they leave the bar, and then it goes a little overboard). But “sandal-related foot cramp”? That’s humor.
11. The scene in “Coal Miner’s Daughter” where Doo opens up the screen door, throws Loretta’s home-cooked meal on the porch, and then whistles for the dogs.
12. Guffman
13. Ron Burgundy – and I’m actually not a big Will Ferrell fan, though this list certainly seems to indicate otherwise.

I made the list!! I made the list!! Yee haw! I have never done the Thursday Thirteen, but I may have to start. I’m kinda dry right now, so I don’t know what I’ll post on “dreckly”. (That’s another one of Mama’s sayings, meaning directly.) I may post the rest of her sayings….Hmmmmmmmmmmm….Good list, BooMama. :)
Good ones…I particularily enjoyed the Southern Expressions one being that I grew up in Ohio and I haven’t heard but maybe TWO of these on the whole list. Ok, maybe three. My favorite was the ‘Stop that or I’m gonna slap the snot out of you then I’m gonna slap you for snottin'”. Hiliarous I was laughing out loud. Tks!!
Aw, thanks, BooMama.
The preview for The Ballad of Ricky Bobby always has me laughing hysterically whenever I see it! Throw my head back, hold my gut, snorting through my nose, laughing!
When he spins out of that parking lot in a station wagon, using a plastic bat to hold down the accelerator? That’s comedy.
