What’s funnier? Well thought out satire or the European National Anthem ‘sung’ with a series of not exactly serious ’ding-da-ding-da-dings’ and whistles? I don’t mean to annoy Greg Shapiro, but to me it was the latter. All that effort that went into studying world events wasn’t as fruitful as sounding like an excited youngster (or more accurately a child, but that’s fine) who has had a few too many energy drinks? Not to worry, listening to people seemingly off their faces (think a young Graham Norton in Father Ted) is often entertaining so long as they don’t start saying they’ve just seen Santa Claus flying overhead, or whatever. (That may be funny, but still disconcerting). Of course the video wouldn’t work if it was all about the dingdadings - that could drive one crazy, so the creator should take some comfort in that. It should also be noted Mr. Shapiro does a pretty convincing Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin impression, along with a great German accent. (Actually he sounds like the fish in American Dad. If you’re confused by the phrase ‘he sounds like a German fish’, just ignore it). Again, sorry but the funny voices were perhaps more entertaining than the social commentary. Actually, you know what? Maybe it’s just me who prefers that kind of stuff, because I’m immature. In fact, on deep reflection, I’m sure that’s what it is. :S Get your own opinions of the video by following the link below!

The video above wasn’t the only one I wanted to include on my famous Facebook Unsubscribe Tribe page, Greg also has a great video out called ’Top 10 Jokes Theresa May Resignation Day’. However, I didn’t post it because of its line: ‘And now, the top 10 Theresa May resignation jokes from around the internet’. It implies that either he has borrowed some material from others or alternatively, that he’s extremely arrogant. I’m sure it’s the former. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter as both videos would have won him my special thumb gesture. I was kind of relieved about that because if he didn’t win, Twizzfizz would have done, and we all know that she’s won before. What would happen if she was the victor twice? Would time end? Would the universe explode? For now at least, no one really knows. Rather chillingly, we may know soon, as I post one of her works on my page every couple of months. For the schizophrenics out there, I can only offer my sincerest apologies: The world will NOT end if Twizzfizz wins. That was a joke.

Now for something unrelated - perhaps my final anecdote about my enigma of a digestive system: Because of the laxatives I’m on (I think), there was one occasion where I felt my intestines slowly expanding due to a buildup of gas. The first few seconds weren’t so bad, but after about 10, I was genuinely concerned for my safety. A few days before hand, I saw on Youtube dead whales exploding because of the gas that built up in them, and I was worried something similar was happening to me. But thank God it wasn’t and I quickly deflated. Most people I’m sure don’t realise how intense the feelings of being on the medication are. Sometimes you feel dizzy, sometimes you have diarrhoea, sometimes you think you’re about to detonate, it’s a real emotional rollercoaster. Maybe it could be beneficial to have a small amount of lithium in the health products, but I don’t know too much about medication and all that. I’m just putting the thought out there. And on that note. .. … …. ….. …… …… …. … .. . Bye!
