Skits

Steve Martin and Betty White struggled to keep a straight face in this Carol Burnett Show skit. The two comedic legends faced quite a challenge, as both worked to avoid breaking character. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how Betty and Steve both nearly burst out laughing during this classic skit from The Carol Burnett Show.

As has been said before, comedy is much more difficult than drama. While that may be a tired, old saying at this point, that doesn’t make it any less accurate. Everyone’s sense of humor is different. What causes this guy to burst into uncontrollable laughter spontaneously will likely not be the same for the next person.

So, sustaining a comedy career, especially over the course of decades, requires genuine talent. The Carol Burnett Show had that in truckloads. Its cast was legendary, with a level of talent unlikely to be replicated. Not only were the show’s regular cast hysterically funny, but so were the program’s guest stars, who would appear from time to time.

In a deliriously funny clip posted on YouTube, one of the many classic Carol Burnett Show skits features Betty White and Steve Martin. If that wasn’t enough legendary comedic talent for you, Tim Conway also makes an appearance in the video.

The clip begins with the camera focused on a stairwell as the lights dim and odd-sounding music starts. Steve and Betty, both gazing at the flight of stairs, are obviously worried about the strange event unfolding before them. It quickly becomes clear that an alien life form, played by Tim Conway, will be making its way down the stairs.

After Tim makes it down the stairs, Steve has a massive grin on his face. He is just about to break character, but somehow manages to keep it together.

Betty, as she so often did during her career, delivered a line that had everyone laughing. He mentions how Tim, dressed like a being from another planet, resembles the Pillsbury Doughboy.

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

The hysterical way in which this comedian handles his dad’s iPad crisis will have you doubled over in laughter. The funnyman Trey Kennedy responded to his father’s technology issue in a very recognizable fashion. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see how this father’s issue with his iPad was received when he went to his son for help.

Technology is a wonderful thing that has made life easier and better for millions around the globe. It’s constantly improving, moving on to the next latest and most significant advancement. Almost daily, you will receive updates on your phone telling you that new versions of this or that app are now available.

Unfortunately, the pace of these updates can be a significant problem for some. People of a certain age who are not as familiar with technology or who don’t stay up to date with the latest advancements and improvements will and do have issues whenever they try to log in to their computer or iPad or unlock their cell phone. And we all know how this story goes, they will run to their adult children and ask for help, even when they’ve been told repeatedly this is how you do this or that.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Trey’s father is having trouble simply logging into his iPad. From Trey’s exasperated and annoyed response, it’s clear that this is not the first time this has happened. When Trey’s dad is asked to explain the situation, he stumbles and stutters, only making Trey’s anger grow.

Trey is ready to lay down the law, claiming that there must be consequences for his father’s repeated failures with his devices. Eventually, this results in both of them trading sharp and hysterical barbs, with his father stating that, while he may have problems getting to his e-books, at least he owns his own home.

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

A dad shared the many ways to try to get kids to do the one chore they all hate. It’s unclear whether these strategies are 100 percent effective, but you will be laughing uncontrollably at his attempts, and that is for sure. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see the various approaches to get children to do this one household chore.

As all parents know, children do not enjoy household chores. Can you blame them? Who wants to do work when there is so much play and fun to be had? Did you like being told this or that must be completed before you went outside to play with your friends? Of course not, but we did it begrudgingly anyway, most of the time, anyway.

For whatever reason, despite the many and various tasks that children are commanded to complete around the house, there is one that all of them seem to hate with a fiery passion: making the bed. It’s almost sure to be the one thing you dreaded doing the most as well. 

Perhaps all that hatred comes because of the uselessness of the task. Who are they making their bed for? Once they get into it at night, those five or 10 minutes making the bed have been entirely wasted.

Regardless of how one feels about making the bed, one father has come up with several approaches on how to get your youngster to make their bed. Some of them are likely to produce better results than others. However, he also does not promise a success rate or even that the odds of your child making their bed will increase if you implement his maneuvers.

What do you think is the best way to get kids to make their beds in the morning? Or is it even a task worth doing?

The short clip will still have you laughing long after it ends!

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

This helpful and hysterical guide will help you decode Midwesterner talk. You will finally understand what people from the Midwest are saying when they don’t actually say it. Watch the short but hilarious clip that will help you better understand what people from the Midwest mean.

Every region of the United States is known for various things. They are all different in a variety of ways, which includes their food, the weather, how they dress, and even how they speak. But it’s those differences that make America such a fun and unique place. Spend any time at all traveling in the country, and you’ll soon spot some of these differences. There’s bound to be a dramatic difference between places like New York City and Seattle or Providence, Rhode Island, and Sacramento.

You’ll quickly recognize that many of those differences depend on the region of the country in which those states and cities are located. People from the Northeast and the South will act, eat and even talk differently. The same goes for someone in any other region of the United States, including the Midwest.

Typically, people in the Midwest are considered extremely friendly, welcoming and hospitable, maybe even overdoing it at times. Now, part of Midwest nice includes not saying exactly what you mean. Instead, you must read between the lines to pick up on what a Midwesterner actually means. A hilarious and insightful video posted on YouTube breaks this all down for you.

The woman says some commonly heard phrases in the Midwest and explains what they mean. Hopefully, this is helpful the next time you stop in the Midwest, and someone says one or more of these phrases in conversation.

“I just wanted to swing by,” the woman says. However, as the video makes clear, what she actually meant is that she will be “staying for at least an hour.”

“It’s different,” she says. Of course, in Midwestern speak, that translates to “I do not like it.”

These are just a few examples from the hysterical video. However, as someone who lives in the Midwest, she is spot-on with her translation of each phrase.

Proverbs 16:24 “Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

This skit showed how teachers also dread being called to the principal’s office. You’ll find yourself laughing out loud as this teacher waits in anticipation, thinking about the absolute worst possibilities ahead of the meeting. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how being called to the principal’s office is no fun for anyone.

When going to school, one of the worst things that could ever happen would be to hear that the principal would like to see you in their office. More often than not, that was not going to be a happy, joyous get-together. That was a meeting that usually ended with a firm, stern reprimand and a punishment, often a sentence of detention.

Now, as an adult, you’ve probably found that the sense of dread and fear returns whenever you get an out-of-the-blue email that your immediate superior would like to see you in their office immediately. Your mind instantly goes to the worst possible scenario: you’re about to be fired. You aren’t sure what you did to lose your job, but you just know that’s what’s coming.

In a clip posted on YouTube, it turns out that no one enjoys making that trip to the principal’s office. As a teacher, once you get that email summoning you to the principal’s office, your mind starts reeling. You know you’re about to be let go and will have to begin the job-searching process all over again momentarily.

The video shows the hilarious steps one teacher goes through after receiving an ominous email from his boss, who wants to see him first thing the following morning. As everyone else would in that scenario, he now knows his dismissal is imminent. Well, it was fun while it lasted, right?

As is often the case, it was not the worst possible scenario, and the teacher did keep his job after all.

Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;”

This skit shows the hilarious and dramatic difference between the first and the third pregnancy reveal. This exact situation might be very relatable to many parents. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how differently this couple reacts to the revelation of their first pregnancy compared to their third.

Children are a gift from the good Lord above, and each one should be treated as such. Many people struggle with fertility issues for years before becoming parents, and many others, sadly, are unable to have children altogether. So, the impending arrival of a child, a new life, is always a cause and reason for celebration.

However, as incredible as children are, they can also get on your last nerve and, at times, push Mom and Dad to the very edge of their sanity. Raising children is wonderful and rewarding, and there is simply nothing like it, but it can also be extremely tiring. Parents know and understand this situation all too well.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a couple of seconds after they learn they are having a baby. Of course, they are beyond excited about the little one that is soon to enter their lives. The couple is literally jumping for you. What could be better than becoming a parent to one? Being a parent of three little ones, of course!

Later in the clip, the couple, who already have two children, learn that they are expecting another little bundle of joy. However, their response is much different, a little bit more subdued than the exuberant reaction when they were going to be parents for the first time.

Hey, I’m sure they are both over-the-moon excited about their third little one, but they are both entirely too tired to fully express it. That is most definitely the reason, right?

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

These parents have wildly different approaches to vacation. It’s very apparent that the word vacation means different things to this husband and wife. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how this man and woman see vacation and how they choose to spend their free time.

Everyone loves vacation. There is not much better than getting away for a little bit and enjoying some rest and relaxation. Is there anyone who does not enjoy getting away from work and the worries and concerns of everyday life? Do people who hate vacation even exist?

However, people can and do spend their vacation time differently. Some may enjoy the beach, others a more mountainous, hilly region, while others might even opt for a staycation and decide to stay home for a week or two. So, vacation obviously means something different to different people, even to parents when they go on vacation with their children.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two parents take their young family on vacation but have very different experiences. You’d expect a family that goes on a trip together to spend time doing things as a family, but as it turns out, that is not always the case.

The video begins with the family standing together at their vacation destination, each stating they know precisely what they are doing with their free time first. Again, you would expect a family to enjoy spending time together on vacation, but that does not exactly happen here.

The clip quickly cuts to Mom in the spa, enjoying a relaxing moment by herself. She is husband-free and, most importantly to her, kid-free. Dad, on the other hand, has other plans. He is shown enjoying the water slide, loudly screaming right before he plunges toward the ground.

This happens several more times throughout the clip, showing that the mother values peace and quiet while also appreciating time alone. Hilariously enough, the father is the opposite, taking part in loud, boisterous water activities with his children.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.”

This comedian ranked all the Southern states and declared which one is the “most Southern.” The funnyman Matt Mitchell has ranked 14 Southern states from least to most Southern. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see which states rank where and to hear Matt’s hilarious reasoning behind his rankings.

The United States is a large, massive country that spans from the Atlantic Ocean on the East to the Pacific Ocean on the West. The more than 300 million people who call the United States of America home live in one of the country’s handful of regions.

Each region in the USA – the Northeast, the Midwest, the Northwest, the Southwest, the West Coast and the South - all have their own identity and culture. Each region is different and unique in terms of weather, food, dress and even what people say and how they say it. Most people are proud of where they live in the country and will gladly tell you where they reside. But by and large, Southerners are the proudest, the most enthusiastic about where they live.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Matt goes through all 14 Southern states and ranks them. Not only does he rank them, but he also gives his reasons for putting each state where he did. His comments are full of his trademark humor and wit, likely to make you literally laugh out loud and maybe even agree with him.

I don’t want to spoil the list or Matt’s rankings, but I think most people will likely agree wholeheartedly with the place he says is the most Southern. I know whenever I think of the deep South, my mind automatically thinks of this particular state, and it’s hard to argue that it does not deserve the top spot as the most Southern state in the United States of America.

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

Neighbors will often say and think these things whenever someone new moves into their small town. This woman perfectly captured what many residents are likely thinking when a new family moves into their tiny town. Watch the short, but hilarious clip to hear the relatable things this woman says when she notices a new family has settled in her small town.

Moving is rarely, if ever, a fun and enjoyable experience. It’s often said that moving is one of the most stressful things that a human being can do. There are simply so many moving parts when it comes to packing up one house and then unpacking and settling into another in a brand-new community. All this is without even considering how the new town or city will accept and welcome them. Will they be friendly, or standoffish and hostile?

Of course, in small towns, people notice everything that happens, mainly because there usually isn’t too much going on in these locations. So, when a new family moves in, you better believe the residents of every small town do notice and are watching quietly from a distance. Sounds creepy when it’s put that way, doesn’t it?

In a clip posted on social media, one woman hilariously captured what residents think and do when they see a new family moving into town. Her quick, rapid-fire, witty and hysterical comments will have you rolling with laughter.

“Where are they from?” she asked. “Well, what do they do? Why are they here? They ain’t got no family here? That’s suspicious.”

“They ain’t even waved at nobody yet,” she said.

“They don’t look stressed enough to live here,” she added.

“They ain’t even stood in their year with their hands on their hips yet,” she said.

Of course, all her concerns and questions about this new family could be easily answered by simply welcoming them to the neighborhood and getting to know them a little.

Hebrews 13:2 “Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”

This math lesson will have you laughing and totally confused. This type of math might make sense to people in one particular part of the country, while it leaves everyone else completely and totally lost. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see a new kind of math that you have probably never heard of but will still likely have you doubled over in laughter.

For some people, school was a breeze, while others struggled mightily in the classroom, with little to show for all their hard work. No matter what they did, nothing seemed to improve their GPA or strengthen their grasp of the material presented in class. Still, others may have had a subject or two that gave them constant fits and prolonged headaches.

Math was the one subject that always caused me problems. Every other subject and material came to me relatively easily, without putting forth much effort. However, math was always decidedly different and was something that I quickly grew to despise. Sure, that negative attitude and outlook on mathematics probably didn't help matters, but math and I never got along very well.

In a clip posted on YouTube, comedian Matt Mitchell introduces everyone to a new kind of math. Instead of algebra, geometry and trigonometry, this form is referred to as “Southern math.” If, by the end of Matt’s lesson, you are entirely lost and confused about how it functions, you are likely not alone.

Things get off to a confusing start, as terms in Southern math have varying and different definitions. Nothing is set in stone when it comes to Southern math. Things are up for interpretation, which is generally not how math works.

“In the South, a couple can be any number between two and five,” Matt says.

He also defines what “a few” means, kind of.

“A few is any number six and almost a dozen,” he adds.

I don’t think Southern math will be taught in schools any time soon.

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.”

This skit nailed how Midwesterners talk and feel about the weather. Anyone who has lived in or visited the Midwest for an extended period will immediately notice and be amazed by the accuracy on display. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see and hear how people who live in the Midwest talk about every month of the year.

The weather is, and always will be, a popular topic of discussion. The weather is also helpful when struggling to find something to talk about. It can and does help with small talk. Also, the weather is so universal, something we all experience, that it translates well to anyone and everyone, who can easily talk about their experience with the present weather patterns, whatever they may be at that time.

Now, when talking about the weather, there are a handful of popular cliches, idioms, sayings and phrases that everyone uses at one time or another. We’re all guilty of using them, and there’s no use in denying it. But when it comes to the Midwest, people in that part of the country have a particular and recognizable way of talking about the weather.

A clip posted on YouTube captures how people in flyover country discuss the weather ideally. As someone who currently lives in the Midwest, I can say they were 100 percent accurate, and it wasn’t just for one or two months out of the year; they got all 12 of them right.

Since I despise winter and, in the Midwest, given how it seems to last forever, the ones that connect and resonate with me the most are those said in February and March.

“Forty degrees never felt so good,” the woman says as she wears a pair of shorts in February.

“This has to be the last snow, right?” she asks with a pained and worried expression.

While those are only two of 12, and again, I can assure you the others are correct as well.

Leviticus 26:4 “Then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.”

Making any of these comments during an interview will guarantee you won’t be hired. The woman, during a faux job interview, rattles off a string of hilarious but disqualifying statements. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what she said that no one should ever repeat during a job interview.

Having a job is essential to survive and provide for a living. Sadly, given the present state of the economy and the ever-increasing cost of everything, even with a 9-to-5, it can still be challenging to make ends meet. For far too many people, this is their reality, and they have to cut here and there to pay bills and cover other necessities.

Since having a job is of the utmost importance to surviving, being prepared for and acing job interviews is a must. It’s an opportunity to put your best foot forward with a potential employer, and to tell them about yourselves and demonstrate what you’re capable of and in what areas you are skilled and excel.

Naturally, you want to avoid making strange, odd and other comments that would make that employer immediately decide against hiring you for whatever the position may be. In a clip posted on YouTube, one woman says just about everything you should never say in an interview. What she says is funny, but saying any of these would, without a doubt, land your resume in the recycling bin.

“Do y’all drug test?” the woman asked.

“Do y’all mind if I cuss? ‘Cause I don’t really know how else to express myself,” she asked.

“Y’all ain’t going to check my TikTok, are you?” she asked the individual interviewing her.

When possible employers ask if you have any questions for them, those are not the type they want to hear.

“I’m emotionally stable now, but I can’t promise that’ll stick,” she hilariously and honestly mentioned.

Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord, and not to men;”

This hysterical skit has perfectly captured the pop vs. soda debate. This is one that has been going on for years, seemingly with neither side willing to give an inch. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see how this hotly debated topic looks to continue well into the future.

Many people say they are open-minded and willing to hear any and all views and opinions, even when they may contrast with what they think and believe. Of course, you and I both know this is rarely, if ever, true. It’s much easier to claim to be someone who can and will adopt and listen to other people’s points of view than to actually do it. Social media and 24-hour “news” channels prove this time and again.

Typically, debates on social media and 24-hour “news” channels quickly descend into screaming and shouting matches. Harsh words are exchanged, and people’s character gets attacked all in the name of “debate.” What usually happens is that people become more entrenched in and committed to the views they already have and retreat to their preferred cable news source, where information is presented in a way that confirms their preconceived ideas and opinions.

Hilariously, that is precisely what happened in a clip posted on YouTube. However, instead of a political topic, it’s something much more controversial: the pop vs. soda issue, and which one is the proper name for soft drinks. Usually, what you call them will have a lot to do with what region of the country you’re from, and that is what we learn in the skit.

Also, we learn that neither side is willing to give an inch. Like most debates today, there will be no compromise reached here. Both are willing to defend their positions to the death.

Funny enough, a third person appears near the end of the skit. It’s the individual that we can all agree is 100 percent wrong. It’s the person who calls every soft drink a Coke. That kind of person should be shunned from polite society. How are you going to refer to a Pepsi as a Coke? That’s madness.

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

This short skit perfectly captured the hilarious reality of parents getting sidetracked. Likely, this video is very relatable and hits very close to home for many mothers and fathers. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what can happen when parents are unable to focus and struggle to remain on task.

Being a parent is a tremendous responsibility. There are many requirements and obligations that come with raising little ones. Of course, most parents do them gladly, simply because they love being parents so much. Is there anyone who could honestly say they do not love being a parent and caring for their children?

However, in addition to being a parent, most have other obligations, requirements, and tasks they must complete for work, for church or for various groups of which they are members. Things can quickly become overwhelming when so much is running through their brain at once. While they are doing one thing, they are likely imagining what they must do next and by when. Understandably, this can make staying in the moment, focused and on task extremely challenging.

A clip posted on YouTube shows the hilarious outcomes that can occur when a parent struggles to stay focused. Their mind wanders, and this can have hysterical impacts on their conversations, making them take strange and confusing detours that no one, not even they, saw coming.

The video begins with a father folding laundry as he completes the household task, and he is having a conversation with his son. It’s one of those corrective, admonishing talks where dad is attempting to set the youngster straight.

“I don’t care what he said to you,” the father said. “That’s not the point. The point is that there’s two types of people in this world, and the world’s made up of 70 percent water. So, and it’s a circle, which makes me wonder how is it maintaining all that water and not falling out the bottom.”

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

A guidance counselor gave this student a reality check that was at once hysterical and humbling. The student likely did not see this response coming from his guidance counselor. Watch the short, laugh-out-loud funny clip to see what the student said that had the school official react in a very unexpected manner.

Graduating from high school is a significant accomplishment. However, for most people, that is not the end of their educational journey. Bettering themselves through some form of continued learning is usually the course of action most students choose after earning their high school diploma. Typically, that means going to college or a trade school.

However, being 17 or 18 and trying to make such a big decision can be overwhelming. That is why high schools employ guidance counselors who help students figure out what to do after graduation. This can and does make that task a little less daunting and overwhelming. Guidance counselors offer support and assistance throughout the process.

In a comedy skit posted on YouTube, a guidance counselor was anything but helpful. Instead, she had a most unusual reaction when the student mentioned his plan of action after leaving high school. Even if guidance counselors don’t think they have the ability to achieve what they say, they have to hide their disbelief a little bit better than this particular guidance counselor did.

After the student sits down, he states that he hopes to attend a very prestigious university - Brown or Johns Hopkins. Almost immediately, the guidance counselor tries to steer him away from that course of action. Instead, she comes up with other ideas.

“How about, maybe something different for you,” the guidance counselor says to the young man.

She then suggests a six-week screenwriting program or even subscribing to the Masterclass online classes.  The student is not on board with her ideas, and is obviously taken aback by her humbling suggestions, and her saying that she doesn’t see college as being for him.

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

This mom went into a hysterical panic, readying the house before guests were scheduled to arrive. She barked out some truly hilarious orders as she quickly moved about the house. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud funny clip to hear this mother’s commands that will have you rolling with laughter.

No one wants to live in a messy, filthy house. As such, most people would rather not have others think that they live in a pigsty. That would be completely and utterly embarrassing. That less-than-perfect housekeeping style doesn’t show much respect for either the people living there or those visiting.

Nevertheless, life, as everyone is well aware, tends to get in the way at times. This can lead to household chores like mopping the floors, vacuuming and taking out the trash being pushed to the back burner. That is totally understandable, and it happens to all of us at some point. There are undoubtedly many more important things than making sure the trash can is empty and ready for use.

However, people lose this perspective whenever company is expected. Typically, people go on a cleaning sprint, quickly doing this and that. In a clip posted on YouTube, a mother is expecting company at any moment, but there is still so much cleaning yet to do. As she moves around the house, checking on the status of everything, she barks out orders, telling immediate family members to do this and that in the most hilarious way possible.

“Somebody light a candle, we got to make it smell like we got money,” she says.

“Hide all the mail that says, ‘Urgent’ or ‘Final notice,’” she added.

“Hey, turn it on the Food Network so it looks like we cook,” she says.

“Help me wipe down the baseboards so people think we care about the baseboards,” the woman commands.

These are just a few of the hysterical things she instructs as she hopes to make a good impression on her visitors.

Isaiah 32:18 “And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting places.”

The hilarious and brutal reality of searching for a snack at your parents’ house is perfectly captured. The situation is unfortunately all too real and relatable for far too many. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what happens when hunger strikes this young woman who is visiting her parents.

Snacking between meals is something we all do or have done at some point. Sure, it shouldn’t be regular practice, but who hasn’t snuck a Snickers, a 3 Musketeers or a Milky Way (the far superior candy bar) before dinner? Some may do it more frequently than others, but I’m guessing most people do it here and there.  

Now, those with a considerable sweet tooth or who are big snackers are well aware that one of the worst feelings in the world is when hunger pangs or cravings hit. We simply need something to tide us over until lunch or dinner, and that is all there is to it. But it gets much worse when nothing to satisfy those desires is readily available. What have all, unfortunately, been there, too.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman, who plays both roles in the short skit, is at her parents’ house for a visit.  Seconds into the clip, she announces that she is “kind of hungry” and is going to have a snack. The mother responds that she is not hungry and informs her daughter that she’s unsure what kinds of snacks are in the house. She advises the young that she’ll have to investigate the pantry to see what is available. Sadly, it becomes evident that the selection will be less than stellar.

But no one had any idea it was going to be this bad!

She opens the pantry to reveal it is sparse, to say the least. Given the horrible options, she lands on a box of Rice Krispies, but the horror show is not over yet, not even close.

For her next visit, she will surely remember to pack some actual snack food or at least a product with a best-by date in this century.

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

This mom’s hysterical replies to her son’s teacher are comedy gold. Her responses are quick, witty and hilariously honest, and they will have you rolling with laughter in moments. Watch the short but laugh-out-loud clip to listen to this mother’s conversation with her son’s teacher.

Parenting is by no means an easy task. In fact, it’s arguably one of the most challenging things someone can do. Anyone who claims otherwise is either lying, insane, or not a parent. I mean, parenting is instructing, correcting and caring for another person, and a young, often mischievous person at that. And not one of them comes with an instruction manual.

We can all agree that raising children can be overwhelming and a tad stressful at times. This is especially true when your little bundle of joy refuses to listen to you or their teachers and gets themselves into trouble, leaving us to deal with the fallout. Of course, that only adds additional stress and worry to our already stressful day. But hey, welcome to the world of parenting, right?

In a clip posted on YouTube, a mother receives a call from one of her son’s teachers. As every mother and father knows, a call from the teacher is never a good thing. They never call to inform you that little Timmy or Sally aced the big science or history test. Nevertheless, this mother’s responses to the educator will have you doubled over in laughter and gasping for air.

“Oh, Miss Smith, what did he do now?” she asked. “Tell me he didn’t cheat off that kid who still eats glue. He ain’t even got enough sense to cheat off the smart kids.”

“Well, you know, you ain’t the first teacher to call,” she said. “You’re just the first one to call today.”

“Did he start with ‘no offense,’ and then proceed to say something really offensive?” she asked.

These are only a sampling of the hysterical comments she makes in the short clip.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

This comedian’s people-pleaser skit is hilarious. The funnyman’s take on people who go out of their way to make and keep those around them happy will have you laughing out loud. Watch the short, but hysterical clip to see and hear how constant and excessive people-pleasing can cost you big in the long run.

Living in harmony and peace with one another should always be a goal, something to strive toward. Who in their right mind would want this? Of course, constant peace and tranquility are not always possible, especially given that we live in a fallen and lost world, where sin’s presence is felt and seen everywhere we look and go.

We should all do what we can to achieve peace among ourselves.  Compromise, put others' needs ahead of our own, and think about how we can better their lives. After all, Christ did teach us to think of others as higher than ourselves. However, some individuals will and do go way overboard when trying to make everyone happy. They will do what they can, even if it means their well-intentioned actions negatively impact their own lives.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a comedian shows that people-pleasing isn't always the way to go, especially when it’s excessive. It can quickly get to the point where people-pleasing is nothing more than letting others walk over and take advantage of you.

The video chronicles the day in the life of a people-pleaser. The more he goes out of his way to help others, the more he negatively impacts himself.

The day begins with the young man sleeping on his bedroom floor after letting his second cousin’s best friend sleep in his bed, saying that his “floor is super comfortable.” Things only get worse from that point.

His people-pleasing ways cause him to get stuck in traffic, lose his job and become engaged to a woman he had been meaning to break up with for quite some time.

While peace is what everyone wants, sometimes it’s not always possible, especially when doing so means letting others take advantage of you.

1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love: true love has no room for fear, because where fear is, there is pain; and he who is not free from fear is not complete in love.”

A professor had a hysterical response to a student actually showing up for office hours. The educator had an unexpected reaction when the young woman, seeking help with class material, walked into his office. Watch the short but hilarious skit to see how the professor responded when she entered his office.

For most people, after graduating from high school, they head off to college, trade school or another form of schooling to further their education. There is always more to learn, more facts and concepts to grasp. We should always be striving to better ourselves, which includes using every day as a learning opportunity in some form or another.

Those in college or who have ever been in college are likely familiar with professors holding office hours. Of course, these are set hours during which students can visit professors in their offices to get more individualized help with classroom material. Sadly, many students don’t take advantage of this opportunity to further their learning or get help.

A clip posted on YouTube shows that professors are well aware that most of their students will and do completely ignore their office hours. However, when one student unexpectedly shows up, the professor is, at first, shocked, then becomes agitated and hostile.

The young woman walks through the door, asking for the professor. He answers with a mouth full of food, as he chows down on his lunch, asking if he’s in trouble.

She starts asking him a question about the material, but he quickly cuts her off, asking if she has any friends who could help her out instead. Understandably, she was pretty taken aback by the professor’s question and by his demeanor toward her for showing up during office hours.

Hilariously, it soon becomes clear why the professor is so upset and bothered by the student’s presence. He had plans which are described as a “once in a lifetime opportunity.” The student is ruining his chance to see “The Lion King on Ice.”
