Comedians

A comedian shared the first thing his wife did after they got married. The funnyman, Jeff Allen, mentioned what his wife’s first action was after they exchanged vows and said, “I do,” and it will have you laughing long after the video ends. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what Jeff’s better half did and how she takes her action back from time to time.

Marriage is a beautiful and wonderful thing, but it will most certainly change your life forever. The instant a couple says, “I do,” they are, as the Bible says, no longer two individuals but one. There will be good days, and there will be some not-so-great ones, too, as anyone who is or has ever been married understands.

Of course, no marriage is perfect. There will be fights and arguments because that’s the nature of relationships. No two people will agree in every instance and circumstance. They won’t see eye to eye on every subject. But when these differences do arise, it’s important to reach an agreement, and as anyone who is married knows, that means finding a solution she likes best.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Jeff said the very first thing his better half did after they got married was to take away his ability to disagree with her. She took away, as Jeff puts it, his spine. However, periodically, she will undo this action and reattach it whenever she needs him to confront potentially dangerous situations.

“First thing she did when we got married was take my spine away from me,” he said. “She did. She keeps it in her purse. That’s handy in case I have to do something manly.”

Later in the clip, he mentions the kind of situation in which she would temporarily return his spine.

“3 o’clock in the morning, ‘I heard a noise. Here’s your spine. God down and see what it was,’” he said. “I hate that wake-up call. She hears a noise. I got to go down and see what it is.”

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”

Michael Jr.’s take on Jesus’ little brother, James, is comedy gold. What the popular comedian says about Jesus Christ's younger brother will have you laughing long after the video ends. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Michael’s uproarious comments about what it must have been like being a sibling of Jesus.

Children are blessings and gifts from the Lord above, each one of them, and they should be treated as such. As all parents know well, there is nothing like being a mother or a father. It’s an experience that will forever change everything about you. Your thinking and entire way of looking at the world will be altered.

However, while raising children, there is something parents must keep in mind. Every child is an individual, and not a replica or a duplicate of their siblings. We can all agree that, far too often, parents judge a child against their sibling. Why didn’t you do this like so-and-so? Why aren’t you more like them? That’s a lot of pressure for any child, and it’s not fair and, if we’re being totally honest, downright wrong.

But can you imagine the kind of pressure and judgment a sibling of Jesus would have faced from their parents and everyone else? In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael imagines what it must have been like to have been James, the young brother of Jesus.

“Jesus your big brother?” Michael said. “How many times do you have to hear, ‘Why can’t you be more like Jesus, James?’”

Later in the clip, Michael wonders what might have happened when James attended a wedding, especially following Jesus’ first miracle mentioned in the Bible.

“Remember the wedding banquet?” Michael asked the audience. “Jesus turned water into wine, and everybody was amazed. But they don’t tell you about the next banquet. Jesus left early, and they start running out of wine. Everybody looked at James. It’s like, man, the last time this happened, your brother made some wine, dude. You’re just going to stand there with your sandals on?”

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”

A young comedian on Britain’s Got Talent will have you cracking up. The tiny funnyman has put together a routine that is both really hilarious and very cute. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the young man do a stand-up routine full of jokes that is sure to have you laughing for quite some time.

Stand-up comedy has to be one of the toughest things in the world to do. Of course, it’s a solitary act in which one person stands on stage and tells jokes, desperately hoping the audience laughs. If the jokes don’t land or the audience stays completely silent, there is no one else to blame but the person holding the microphone.

If that sounds like a frightening situation, you would be entirely correct. Most people would never even think about walking on stage and giving stand-up comedy a try. However, there are still people looking to make a name for themselves in the rough and tumble world of stand-up comedy, even, as it turns out, children.

In a clip posted on YouTube, 8-year-old Monty Morris took the Britain’s Got Talent stage and announced to the show’s four judges and the studio audience that he is a stand-up comedian. After a quick back and forth with the judges, it was time for the young man to get into his act.

As most comedians do, the little guy told jokes about his life, which, for most 8-year-olds, is primarily his mother, the playground and school. Not surprisingly, those are the subjects the tiny comedian talked about during his audition.

However, what was surprising was how truly funny and entertaining the young man was, and how many laughs he got from both the judges and the audience. The confident little guy told one joke after another, getting a well-deserved round of applause from the audience and the judges.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

Detroit native, Dry Bar Comedy alum and Star Search $100,000 WINNER Horace H.B. Sanders visits "First Sundays" to record an album and a comedy special - and subsequently rocks the house becoming a First Sundays favorite.

Derrick Stroup believes that the crockpot is the ADHD person’s best friend. The comedian says that the crockpot was created for those who have trouble paying attention and staying on task. Watch the short, but hysterical, clip to hear why Derrick Stroup is perfect for someone with ADHD.

There is an endless array of distractions in our world. Unfortunately, we all carry the biggest one with us 24/7, 365 days a year. People are basically unable to go anywhere or do anything without their cell phones. If they, God forbid, were to become separated from their devices for any period of time, most would not know how to function.

At this point, our cell phones have become extensions of our hands. They rest constantly in our palms as we check this app, then that app, and finally this other app. Of course, nothing has changed since we last checked it, which was five minutes ago. But those screens have become too difficult to stay away from, likely stealing away our focus and attention from more important, pressing needs.

However, if you have trouble staying focused and on task, there is an appliance for you, according to Derrick. In a clip posted on YouTube, the popular comedian says the mighty crockpot is perfect for those with ADHD who also enjoy cooking.

Now, you wouldn’t think that ADHD and cooking would go hand-in-hand, but as Derrick states, you would be very wrong. He added that he got heavily into crockpots, even reaching the point where he was “running four or five at a time.”

“I couldn’t believe that they invented something that I could forget about, and absolutely nail,” he said.

He added that with him having ADHD, “everything has been built against him, but not crockpots.” He added that they are “made for us ADHD people.”

He said he has gotten compliments on his crockpot cooking, and when asked for his secret recipe, he admits it includes a lot of forgetfulness.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

A comedian shared the strange ways people respond when he tells them this. It’s clear most are unsure how to react when he says this about himself, given their odd, awkward answers. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear what he says about himself that evokes some weird feedback and comebacks.

No two people are the same. Sure, there may be similarities between individuals, but everyone is unique. We are all individuals, not simply duplicates or carbon copies of one another. How boring would life be if that were the case? Honestly, who would want that situation?

Arguably, the area where these differences are most easily spotted is in our preferences for food and drink. My taste buds are not the same as yours, and vice versa. For instance, I vehemently dislike cheese, all of it, and refuse to eat cheese, and that has always been the case since I was a child. But when people learn this about me, I can and have gotten some strange looks and questions. It’s just cheese, but people, for some reason, have a problem processing and handling that.

In a clip posted on YouTube, comedian Wali Collins shares that he has a similar experience when he tells others that he does not consume alcohol. He gets some odd reactions, too.

“I tell people I don’t drink, people automatically think something bad happened in my life ‘cause I don’t drink alcohol,” he said.

He added that people will then often ask a very invasive and probing question, as they try to figure out why he does not drink.

“But then they want to get in my business,” he said. “’So, you’re an alcoholic? That’s the problem?’”

He said that even after telling people he does not like the taste and doesn’t see a reason or point in drinking, people will continue to play detective. Why is that so hard for some people to understand?

Ephesians 5:18 “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.”

John Crist has hilariously suggested adding this baseball rule to our daily lives. The popular funnyman believes this move would clear up a lot of confusion and unanswered questions in a variety of situations. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what Major League Baseball rule the comedian wouldn’t mind seeing everyone use.

It's been said that there is nothing more American than apple pie and baseball. Also, you’ve probably heard before how baseball is the national pastime. I’m not entirely sure either of those sayings is true. In fact, I’d argue very adamantly that they are not accurate.

You’re telling me someone who isn’t a fan of baseball is less American than someone who enjoys the sport? Additionally, the NFL is the most popular spectator sport in America, far ahead of baseball. I can understand why that is the case. Baseball is so incredibly boring. If you’re ever experiencing a bout of insomnia, turn on a baseball game, and you’ll be cured in a matter of moments.

In an attempt to improve umpire accuracy, batters can now challenge calls. They can ask officials to review the video replay of questionable calls. In theory, this should remove any doubt about close calls and correct those that umpires get wrong. In a YouTube clip, John explained how and where this should be instituted in our lives. As he implies, this will stop people from needlessly lying and fibbing about things if there is something that calls them out on their untruths.

“Let’s get that going in all of our everyday, personal lives,” he said. “You know what I’m saying? Some dude is just like, ‘I made $300,000 on crypto.’ Just, listen, sorry to do it, got to show us your account. We don’t believe you.”

He later added where this rule could come in handy.

“And you can do it in your personal life,” he said. “With your pastor, your relationship, you know, your boss. You show up at Chick-fil-A, it’s 10:29. ‘We don’t have any breakfast left.’ Just, I need to see the kitchen. Everybody gets two per day, just like in baseball.”

John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

You won’t believe the surprising location this man picked to propose. The young man revealing the location of his marriage proposal even had the comedian, Michael Jr., cracking up. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear where this young man chose to propose to his now-wife.

Marriage is a big step for every couple and should not be entered into lightly, without much prayer and careful consideration. It’s a promise to remain with that person till death do you part, regardless of what situations or circumstances may come up. Standing at the altar, exchanging those vows and saying, “I do,” is a moment that will forever change your life.

However, before walking down the aisle and exchanging vows, one small, yet extremely significant thing must happen. Of course, it’s the proposal, where the young man asks the young woman to be his wife. Typically, how one does this and where are extremely well thought out, with a lot of planning, time and effort going into that big moment. Some people may choose to pop the question in a park or at the location of the first date. Others, as the YouTube clip demonstrates, may even decide to ask the question at a favorite restaurant.

In the video, Michael asked a young man in the audience whether he was married, how long and then asked how he popped the question.

“How did you propose to her?” Michael asked.

“At her favorite restaurant,” the young man revealed, as he started laughing.

“Which is what?” Michael responded.

“China River Buffet,” the audience member said.

His unexpected answer prompted laughter from everyone in the room, including the comedian on stage. Sure, it may have been a hilariously unexpected spot, but if it was special to them, that is all that really matters.

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”

This comedian’s company-specific jokes will have you rolling with laughter. The funnyman Don McMillan uses humor to highlight issues we have all experienced with these massive, recognizable companies. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Don’s side-splitting jokes and witticisms about Microsoft, AT&T, Apple and others.

Most Businesses strive, or at least should, to provide the best, most efficient customer service possible. Making and keeping their customers happy is the key to ensuring repeat business. Of course, this is a win-win for everyone. The customers get great service, and those companies stay in business and keep people employed.

However, what happens when those once-small businesses merge with their competitors and become massive conglomerates? We all know what happens, having seen this story many times before. The product becomes subpar, but curiously, the price significantly increases. Also, the customer service suffers and quickly goes downhill. But what do they care? They have a large, almost monopoly-sized share of the market.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Don shares a handful of knee-slappingly funny jokes about some companies we all know. His jokes, in addition to being hilarious, are also spot-on because they describe situations we’ve know and have experienced in our dealings with them and their products.

In the opening moments of the clip posted on YouTube, Don states that he was contacted by Time Warner Cable to host some kind of show for them. His response to them was hysterical.

“They said, ‘We have an awards ceremony. Can you be here at 8 o’clock on Friday?’” Dan recalled. “I said, ‘I’ll be there between 8 and 11.’ Then, I showed up at 10:58.”

Next, he recalled a time when he did a show for Microsoft that did not go over quite so well. He said that at some point during his act, he announced that an update was available, and he needed to reboot, then left the stage.

Those are only a couple of the jokes he tells that will have you laughing long after the clip ends.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

Comedian Zoltan Kaszas was “offended” by his wife’s hysterical and unexpected question. She presented him with a strange hypothetical situation and asked what he would do. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear what imaginary circumstances she proposed, her question and how he reacted to it.

Most comedy works because, while it’s funny, there is also some truth to it. The funny situations and instances that stand-up comedians, television shows and movies highlight are relatable. We’ve either experienced them first-hand or can easily put ourselves in those positions and consider how we might act and react if we were there.

Shows “The Office,” “Cheers” and “WKRP in Cincinnati” were successful and remain classic shows we return to over and over because we relate to them, and those characters. Who doesn’t have to work and who doesn’t have a co-worker or a boss that occasionally gets on their nerves?

Likewise, stand-up comedians often talk about marriage and their significant others because many people are married too and can relate to the situations they bring up, having been there and done that. That was precisely what Zoltan did in a hysterical clip posted on YouTube. He shared a question that his wife asked him that “offended” him and had the entire audience laughing.

“She goes, ‘I just had a morbid thought,’ he recalled. “And I go, ‘What’s that?’ She’s like, ‘What if I got struck by lightning?’ I go, ‘That would suck.’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, would you go get help or would you be too anxious and embarrassed to go ask someone?’”

He responded that he was surprised and “offended” by her question and, by extension, the suggestion that he might not be able to seek help if she were hit by lightning. However, he did admit that she may have a point. He might pause for a moment, then seek medical assistance for her.

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”

A comedian showed that he and his wife shop differently, and she had the perfect response. The funnyman Don McMillan went to great, truly funny lengths to document how he and his wife handle the task of shopping in very contrasting ways.  Watch the short but hysterical clip to see just how different he and his wife are when it comes to shopping, and to hear how his wife responded to his findings.

Shopping is, without a doubt, one of the worst activities that human beings have to do. Yes, I understand that it’s necessary and must be done to ensure survival, especially grocery shopping (the worst kind). But shopping is one task that I absolutely dread doing, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

On the rare occasions when I must enter a store or a shopping mall, I like to complete the task as quickly as possible. Before even going in, I know exactly what I’m after, where it’s sold and approximately how much cash I will have to shell out to obtain those items. That way, time spent shopping is kept to a minimum, and I can be on my way to something much better than shopping.

Apparently, Don and I have similar shopping styles. In a clip posted on YouTube, he said he knows what he wants, gets in and out, and he’s done. His wife, on the other hand, takes a much different approach, which he hilariously documents for the entire audience to see. Her shopping path is a bit more extensive, with several more detours, turns, spins and pit stops.

However, the best, most hilarious part of the entire clip is how she responded to his findings. She claimed to be a more efficient shopper than he. That couldn’t be correct, right? Well, numbers don’t lie, and her statement turned out to be right.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

This comedian thought his car had been stolen and then this happened. The funnyman was certain that he had been the victim of grand theft auto, but upon second thought, that might not have been the case. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the comedian talk about the time when he thought that this car had been stolen.

The world is often a dark and scary place. People are not always the kindest to one another. In fact, many people have the ability to inflict a surprising amount of pain on each other, and most of the time, it’s done for no other reason than just because they can. Simply look at the news and social media to witness this type of behavior in action.

Because we do live in a sin-filled and fallen world, we’ll experience painful and horrible situations.  Bad things will happen to us for no other reason than that it’s because of the sad, depraved state of humanity. So, when people ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” That is why, and Jesus even answered this in Matthew when He said, “His sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and He sends rain on the upright and on the sinner.”

While bad things do happen to everyone, a comedian in a YouTube clip thought his vehicle had been stolen. That is, of course, a bad thing, but he was, as he soon found out, hilariously mistaken.

“I called the police,” he said. I told them the church I was at. I told them someone has stolen my car.”

After hanging up with the police, he made what he described as the “most important call of all” to his wife to explain the situation to her. She responded in a way that he did not see coming.

“She said, ‘Ken, I dropped you off at church,’” he recalled his wife saying. “I said, ‘Come and get me!’ She said, ‘I will as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car!’”

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John Crist on MLB team mascots will have you cracking up. The popular funnyman has a unique and hilarious bit about some strange mascots in Major League Baseball and offers possible name changes. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what team name John has a problem with and what he would change them to if he could.

It's been said that there isn’t anything more American than apple pie and baseball. Like a lot of sayings and adages, I’d challenge the validity of the claim being made in that statement. What about those people who aren’t fans of either of those things? How about someone who likes apple pie but not baseball, or vice versa? Are they somehow not as American as someone who does like apple pie and baseball?

Either way, many people enjoy baseball, “America’s pastime” (something else I would argue that isn’t necessarily true). They love going out to those delicately and intricately manicured fields to watch their favorite player or team, and if they don’t win, well, then it’s a shame. Hey, but even if they do lose, at least you still have that box of crackerjacks, right?

In a clip posted on YouTube, John lists several gripes about Major League Baseball. Specifically, his complaints concern a couple of the team’s names. As he states, they are strange and completely out of left field (pun intended) and do not invoke any kind of fear in their opponent.

“We lost the Indians,” John says. “We lost the Indians. What’s the Indians’ new mascot? Does anybody know? The Guardians. Cleveland Guardians? Y’all know what a guardian is? A guy who goes, ‘Be home by 10 p.m.’, and you go, ‘Shut up, you’re not my real dad.’”

Later in the video, he mentions another team with a rather lame and uninspiring mascot and offers up a suggestion for what they might consider changing it to.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

Comedian Erica Rhodes hilariously proved that TV is dead. It’s becoming clearer every day that, by and large, people do not watch television anymore. Watch this short but hysterical clip to see how this comedian inadvertently showed that people are not watching television.

For the last several years, it’s been said repeatedly that more and more people are cutting the cord and that television is on its last legs. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in local television news stations. Who wants to watch a television broadcast at a specific time when you can go online and get the very same news hours before the newscast airs?

Instead of watching television, everyone has turned to streaming. Those popular streaming platforms, of course, allow people to watch what they want when they want. The user is in control of the schedule, and who doesn’t want that? They don’t have to wait for a specific time or wade through annoying, poorly made commercials.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Erica, during her stand-up routine, asked one simple, straightforward question and inadvertently showed that no one was watching television.

“I was recently on America’s Got Talent, that’s true,” she said. “Yeah! Thank you! Did anyone see it?”

When she asked the audience if anyone saw her appearance on America’s Got Talent, things got real quiet real fast. You literally could have heard a pin drop. No one made a sound. Erica, in response to the audience’s unexpected reaction, told a series of hysterical jokes about how people are no longer watching television.

“If you didn’t think TV was dead before, now we know, OK?” she said. “Even my friends were like, ‘How do we watch it?’ I was like, ‘It’s on TV.’ They’re like, ‘Where? Where’s TV? It’s on the thing. How do we sign up? Do you have to download something?’”

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

This comedian’s first shift as a garbage man will have you cracking up. The funnyman, Charlie Berens, tried his hand as a sanitation worker, picking up trash for the city of Milwaukee, but things did not go well. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see why Charlie’s time as a sanitation worker will likely be quite short.

Starting a new job is both an exciting and anxiety-filled situation. Everyone wants to get off on the right foot, impressing their new co-workers with their skill and knowledge, hoping to show others why they were hired. Also, there is a pretty significant fear that we won’t impress others, and that they may even question how we managed to get the position.

Of course, there are things we can do to make sure things get off on the right foot. For starters, showing up to work on time is simple, but it shows that we respect the job and everyone else’s time. No one wants to work with someone who is chronically late. Also, adhering to the rules and workplace etiquette will go a long way toward earning others’ respect.

However, those are just two of the many things Charlie had difficulty with during his first shift as a garbage man. Luckily, Charlie’s time as a Milwaukee sanitation worker was caught on camera, and that skit was posted on YouTube.

Moments into his first shift, Charlie was already a major disappointment as a garbage man.

“So, Charlie showed up 15 minutes late and spent the next half hour apologizing for it,” Derek, an actual garbage man, said.

“Yeah, I got a touch of the Catholic guilt,” Charlie said. “My motto is ‘Say sorry first, figure out why later.’”

From that point forward, things went from bad to worse for Charlie. He was told that anything in the trash cans had to be thrown away, but he kept finding things that he wanted to take home. 
By the end of his shift, he had a nice little collection of items. Hey, what’s one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, right?

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.

Derrick Stroup thinks Kansas is the best place for prisons. The popular funnyman believes that the Sunflower State should be home to all of the country’s correctional facilities, and his reason why is hysterical. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear why Derrick thinks everyone currently behind bars should be in a facility located in Kansas.

The United States of America, as it’s been said many times before, is a nation of laws. These pieces of legislation specifically mention what is and wasn’t permissible. Now, depending on the location in the country, the laws and ordinances may vary slightly. But for the most part, they are uniform.

Now, when those laws are not adhered to, there are consequences for those who break them, most of the time, anyway. Of course, those repercussions could very likely, depending on the severity of the offense, include spending some time behind bars in one of the country’s many prisons, which are located in several states.

However, Derrick says Kansas is the perfect place for all of the country’s prisons. While some Kansas residents might feel differently, Derrick, in a clip posted on YouTube, provides his hysterical rationale for thinking the Sunflower State is ideal for prisoners.

“Kansas is the flattest place I’ve ever been,” he said. “I mean, it really is. I do feel like every prison in the country should be in Kansas. You could watch an inmate run away all weekend.”

Later in the clip, Derrick imagined what guards in a Kansas prison’s watchtower talk about whenever they see a prisoner manage to escape from the correctional facility. The guards, as Derrick imagines, wouldn’t take any action but would instead watch to see what the inmate does. Eventually, the escaped convict would realize there is nothing in the plains of Kansas and eventually make their way back to the prison themselves.

Hebrews 13:3 “Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.”

This woman hilariously demonstrates what can and often does happen when a Southern mom gets in the drive-thru line. Her comments and reactions will have you laughing long after the video ends. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how mothers in the South are likely to react when it’s their turn to place their order in the drive-thru at a fast-food restaurant.

We could all do better to eat less fast food and consume a healthier, more nutritious diet. While it might hit the spot at times, it’s not exactly the healthiest food in the world. Nevertheless, picking up dinner from McDonald’s or from Burger King on the way home can often be the most efficient, convenient way to feed that family.

After deciding where to pick up dinner, several other major questions must then be answered. Most importantly, of course, is figuring out what everyone wants to eat. This, as every parent knows, can be absolute chaos and be enough to push the most sane, well-adjusted person to the brink. Everyone has to have this without that, or that without this. Then what happens if the order you receive is incorrect? Do you head back to the restaurant, or do you head home with the erroneous order?

In a clip posted on YouTube, one mother answers all these questions in the most hilarious way. The drive-thru even pushes and tests this Southern mother’s resolve, especially when it comes to her precious sweet tea.

Placing the order for everyone in the car is a high-pressure situation that can cause people to break and buckle. The kids often struggle to articulate what they want to eat. At the same time, you have the person on the other end of the microphone demanding your order, and if that wasn’t enough, the other drivers are waiting behind you, looking to place their order, too.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

A comedian shared why taking the bus to school was an education in itself. The funnyman, Derrick Stroup, mentioned there is a stark difference between people who rode the bus to school and those who did not. Watch the short but hysterical clip to listen to Derrick point out some of the differences between bus riders and non-bus riders.

Getting an education is important and necessary. The knowledge we acquire will go a long way in determining how financially successful we are in life. Want a good job with fantastic hours and amazing benefits? Studying and learning as much as possible will greatly increase the odds of you landing that coveted position.

However, before someone can get an education, they must first reach the place where facts and figures are dispensed. That’s why most school districts in the country have buses to bring students to and from school. But, like most things in life, just because it’s available, that doesn’t mean you have to use it. Instead, some parents may choose to take their children to school themselves.

However, in a clip posted on YouTube, Derrick stated that he can spot a bus rider and someone who didn’t ride the school bus from a mile away. He added that several factors help him make his quick determination.

“I was a bus rider growing up,” Derrick announced. “I think that helped mold who I am today. Some of y’all were car riders. I know it when I meet you. Your hands are soft. No, you’re not built like a bus rider.”

He added that those who were given car rides to school started their days with love and words of affirmation. Those who rode the school bus, on the other hand, received death threats, imploring them not to miss the bus as it came by.

He compared the bus to the internet before the internet was widely available. The further back you moved on the bus, the more information you learned.

 “It was Google on wheels,” he said. “And the further you went on the back of that bus, the deeper in the internet you got. That last row was the dark web, my man.”

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”

John Crist mentioned the time when his mother mentioned she would be ordering food in Spanish. The popular comedian said his mom wanted to try out her Spanish in a Mexican restaurant. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear how John reacted when his mother made this announcement.

An education is something that will never be complete. It does not matter how many degrees someone holds; there will always be more to learn. It’s impossible to know and acquire all the facts and figures that exist. It’s for that reason that we should all be lifelong learners.

One way to enhance our knowledge and challenge ourselves is to learn a new language. There are dozens, possibly even hundreds of languages; pick one and get started. Being able to communicate with people is an important and invaluable skill, especially when you can do it in more than one language.

However, John was not too keen on his mother trying to show off her knowledge of Spanish. She said she wanted to place her order in Spanish, stating that she wanted to immerse herself in the culture. John pleaded with her not to attempt this, stating that Chuy’s was not exactly the place to put this information and skill to use.

“And this is what I told her, I go, ‘Ok, Mom,’ he said. “She’s like, ‘Why can’t I order in Spanish?’ I go, ‘What other ethnic restaurant would that be acceptable for you to do?’" Later in the clip, John made the point that people would not enter a Chinese restaurant and do the same thing.

“No, I said, ‘What other ethnic restaurant could you, would that be appropriate to do? You wouldn’t walk into a Chinese restaurant, ‘Oh, I have the wonton soup.’ You wouldn’t, no.”

Hilariously, he then flips the situation around and asks how Caucasians would feel if someone of a different race entered a Cracker Barrel and ordered in a heavy Southern accent.

“How mad would you be if you were sitting at a Cracker Barrel, some Latino guy sat next to you and goes, ‘I reckon I get some biscuits and a sweet tea?’” John asked.

This woman’s list of the things that should be outlawed is pure gold. Her listing of annoyances that ought to be ruled illegal immediately is hard to argue against. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear her catalog of irritating activities and behaviors she is firmly opposed to and wants legislation to outlaw them as soon as possible.

People are often strange and mystifying beings. As history has demonstrated, human beings are capable of being incredibly and needlessly cruel and inflicting significant pain on one another. On the other hand, people can be surprisingly loving and kind to each other. We see examples of both types of behavior every day, nearly everywhere we look. Hopefully, we will see more people be kind, but I fear that may not be the case.

Additionally, people can be incredibly inconsiderate and do terribly annoying, grating things. There are some people who, for whatever reason, believe the world revolves around them and everyone else should adjust their lives according to their desires and wants. That type of mentality is incredibly off-putting, to say the least.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman names things, activities and behaviors that should cease immediately. In fact, she calls on lawmakers to draft legislation to make them illegal immediately. And once you hear what she wants outlawed, you’ll find yourself completely in agreement and also laughing. Some of what she suggests involves inconsiderate phone-related behaviors, and others are more social media activities.

“Things that should be illegal, but they ain’t,” she said. “Replying with the letter ‘K,’ straight to jail.”

“Using speaker phone in public – phone confiscated permanently,” she said.

“Posting vague drama on social media, and saying, ‘Don’t ask,’ she said. “Just why? We really want to know.”

“Watching a video on full volume in a public waiting room,” she added. “You deserve a public shaming ceremony.”

See, it’s hard to argue that she is wrong with any of these. We all find every one of these behaviors incredibly annoying.
