Comedy Contest 44! (Blog 255)

Here we have another one man, wrestling themed contest featuring Hidden Histories! (And they won!) This is getting ridiculous now. I think I’ll use someone else’s video next time, but as these blogs are getting more and more freaky, maybe people will be reluctant to participate. It’s like someone donating their blood and asking ‘This will be a good thing to do, right? It will save lives?’ and getting told ‘Nope. I want to do odd experiments with it, just for the sake of it, really.’ A bit creepy. Despite my apparently rude comment I used to go along with the video on my Facebook page, I didn’t mean any harm. Here it is: ‘A new video from HH! If you watch the fight, it’s actually incredibly boring’ (I’m so sorry!) ‘The commentary saves things, and that should be respected.’ It did sound rude, didn’t it? The paranoid out there may think the latter part of it was sarcastic. Actually it was supposed to be funny. I was just trying to say the visuals were (intentionally) boring and the commentary was entertaining. But if was overly friendly and kept winking, that would be inappropriate, too. It’s not easy writing! But it’s easier than fitting in, nowadays.

Perhaps it was for the best the way the visuals were low quality, as they ended up pretty bloody. Well there were red patches on the wrestling ring, anyway. Would you really want to see full blown, graphic gore in these times of worldwide crisis? I’ll explain my thoughts the best I can: We’re all supposed to be pulling together aren’t we? It’s like in Christmas where everyone is as one, (but in a nicer way) and if you’re in it together, you don’t fight! Do you see gore on Jesus’s birthday day? No! If the child and the snowman from the classic cartoon ‘The Snowman’ started killing each other, there would be national outrage. People want to see feel empathy for the snowman - a concept that would (usually) be crazy any other time of the year. THAT’S the power of Christmas, and that’s the power of society. So yeah, for me the violence didn’t really work, (even though it could have been worse), but I understand what HH were trying to do - Making a non violent wrestling video would be pretty odd to put it mildly. If they tried it, they may get ridiculed. By me. (Joke!)

Still on the subject of violence, HH quite rightly point out that all the blood in the ring was a bio hazard. Imagine getting flu AND hepatitis. Thank God bloody fights aren’t a normal experience in the civilised word. Imagine if Coronavirus was everywhere and pedestrians hit others around them every few seconds. I’m not sure what the point of imagining that is, but I had the thought and I went for it. The more creative people out there may like to draw their own conclusions. I guess it’s a wacky image, which is fine. Well maybe it’s not so wacky and it’s more disturbing. If that was normal society I’d have constant panic attacks, I’m sure. I’d also have severe trust issues. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t like people. Let’s take this opportunity to be glad with what we have, eh? And on that positive note…

Now to change subjects! Remember when I said ‘either Iceland or Germany should win the Eurovision Song Contest’? Excluding England which always loses, and in this case got no points whatsoever, (apparently that shouldn’t have even been possible) Germany came last. Whoops. Hopefully that had nothing to do with me. Changing the subject again (the last one was too painful to elaborate on), I didn’t bring the right amount of change with me, when I tried to buy a yogurty snack, the other day. I was told that was ok, by a shopkeeper with legendary amounts of understanding, but I did the right thing and left to get the right amount of money from my car. However, as I began to exit the shop without paying, I bought the snack with me! Not only did it look like the reduced price wasn’t enough, it looked like I was trying to steal the thing! Luckily I quickly realised that and put the treat away before fully leaving. Oh no! Simon’s gone criminal! Well nearly. Anywho… …. Bye!
