It's almost mid-quarter, which means that you can feel your energy and resolve quickly fleeing you, like seniors from any social gathering. You need to clear your mind. You need to lighten your heart. You need to regain the ability to efficiently write a 10-page paper in a 24 hour period. What you really need is a good comedic cleanse. I've presented you with some of the funniest, silliest, and gut-wrenchingest videos on the internet. Watch one or a few or all of them and then get back to studying for that Orgo exam.
1. "Space Pants"
If you like that guy from "Game of Thrones" and "Gwen Stefani," you'll love this hilarious and weirdly catchy new song.
2. "YOLO"
I'm a big fan of the Lonely Island, especially when they have great guests like Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar to make their music and their videos even more iconic.
3. "HUGS"
Pharrell might have given us "Happy" but "HUGS" is one of his better and lesser-known masterpieces.
4. "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros"
Brett and Jemaine are kooky, to say the least. Their attempt to rap in this video is heartwarming and hilarious.
5. "Think About It"
Brett and Jemaine once again kill it with this ridiculous ear worm. You'll definitely be bopping along to think about it as you try to connect Shakespeare with Foucault in that Gender Studies paper.
6. "Inner City Pressure"
Life in the city has got you down? Let Brett and Jemaine commiserate with you in this '80s style jam.
7. "Threw it on the Ground"
The Lonely Island outdoes themselves with this video. It's pretty cathartic and it will leave you wondering what you can throw on the ground, like maybe your laptop or that huge Bio textbook?
8. "Flicker"
I have a friend who does this to everyone. If you have a friend like that, this video is probably where they got it from.
9. "Substitute Teacher"
This is a classic from Key and Peele, the masters of critical comedy. This video will have you laughing and thinking about racial inequity.
10. "Continental Breakfast"
This is indescribable. I first saw this video while eating a continental breakfast. It'll tickle you, even if you don't have access to a buffet of free(ish) food.
11. "Brian Regan on Flying"
Brian Regan is one of my favorite comedians. He keeps it pretty clean, but he's also not afraid to be ridiculous. Check out his unique take on flying:
12. Jim Gaffigan - "Hot Pocket"
This is the segment of segments from old Gaffigan. "Hot Pockets" is a classic, which (weirdly) might leave you craving the molten rectangles.
