That I can’t stop laughing. I watched it over and over up at the in-laws’. I tried to introduce my MIL to the joys of Pearl, The Landlord — thinking that Pearl would bond us forever in a special way and that, if nothing else, we could always remember the moment we shared together laughing at Pearl, her rage, her swearing, her drunken antics. I was so sure that our shared experience of Pearl would make her finally say to everyone, “Since Pearl The Landlord came along, I actually like Tracey and/or find her tolerable” but, you know, she didn’t laugh. Not once. Not a peep. A sound. Didn’t even crack a smile. She just frowned. A lot. Said it wasn’t particularly funny. Then I went outside in the cold dark middle of nowhere and slit my wrists.
But I have recovered miraculously through the healing powers of stupidity by watching this over and over and over! It embiggens my heart and makes me want to live again!
So if your heart is shriveled and you have recently slit your wrists and your mother-in-law hates you, watch this and BE HEALED!!
God bless stupid.
Oh, that was awesome! Good stupid! I loved their expressions, especially the one after they JUST BARELY started to entwine their fingers. And the music totally makes the clip.
And the scene with the car – I actually said, OUT LOUD (I am alone in my home office), “OH NO they are NOT going to do that!!!”
(Full disclosure – I didn’t find the Pearl one all that funny, myself. But that’s a failing in me, not in you. We can still be friends.)
ricki — I love the one when the dude is coming down the pool slide and the other dude is just waiting there with his high-five up already. And their stares. “Yeah, we cool.”
Oh, and about Pearl. See, I really really thought it was something my MIL would find funny and she did NOT. I have always had a hard time getting a bead on just where her sense of humor is — what triggers it. She DID laugh for almost the entire episode of Grey’s Anatomy we watched up there. People were bleeding, dying. It was hiLARious, I guess. 😉
Was it the one with the EMT’s trapped under the overturned ambulance?
What I remember about that one is Meredith’s soliloquy about how she never knew the guy’s wife before and now she’ll only be thought of in context of the worst day of the woman’s life.
Because it’s all about you, Meredith, of course.
Self-obsess much?
Thanks, Tracey! This made me laugh long and loud.
Sal — I sincerely cannot stand Meredith.
Forget the MIL. Pearl is hilarious. Have you seen Good Cop, Baby Cop? Priceless!
