The Yo Yum Humor

2012-01-23T14:21:00.000-08:00

There are many new sayings on television and the media that one can recognize as to what they mean if one listens closely. I was watching a commercial where the phrase "Ho hum, yo yum" was used describing a food that does not taste like an everyday food. For example, if I get canned vegetables then I would describe that as "ho hum" but if I eat frozen vegetables in a steam bag then I would describe that as "yo yum."

Another good example is eating yogurt. When eating yogurt one can choose between regular everyday yogurt and Greek yogurt. Eating Greek yogurt is "yo yum" and eating everyday old fashion yogurt is "ho hum" even though I love both type of yogurts but I must say that the more expensive Greek yogurt is a big treat because it has more protein and is thicker than the regular yogurt.

Are you having a "ho hum" or a "yo yum" day? I find this way to asking one's day as very imaginative so use it whenever you can because this kind of new saying is fun and it is not negative in any way and should not be put down.

Last Humor Entry for 2011

2011-12-31T20:04:00.000-08:00

Lately I haven't posted much humor here in my humor post because there isn't much humor to report. We live in a serious and sad world so the humor is disappearing on me. There is not much to laugh at lately in a sad world where sad things happen daily. So to end the year 2011 I will say that it is ok to end the humorous blog here on a sad note for all the sad things that happen each day. Thank you.

The Funniest Movies ever Made

2011-11-23T14:51:00.000-08:00

1) The Pink Panther Movie Series:

The Pink Panther Strikes Again
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pink_Panther_Strikes_Again

The Pink Panther official movie site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pink_Panther
http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thepinkpanther2/

Peter Sellers is the actor that makes the Pink Panther Movies humorous:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sellers

"1) The Pink Panther, 1963:
Although centered on David Niven, Peter Sellers was so popular that the resulting series would be built on Clouseau rather than the Phantom/Sir Charles Lytton.

2) A Shot in the Dark, 1964:
Released less than a year after The Pink Panther, Clouseau returns to bumble his way through a murder investigation. This also marks the first appearance of both Herbert Lom's Charles Dreyfus and Burt Kwouk's Cato.

4) Inspector Clouseau, 1968: Note: Allen Arkin stars as Inspector Clouseau:
This film stars Alan Arkin as Clouseau, and does not have any other recurring characters (Dreyfus, Cato, the Phantom, etc.) from the rest of the series. Although produced by the Mirisch Corporation, Peter Sellers, Blake Edwards and Henry Mancini were not involved in the making of this film.

5) The Return of the Pink Panther, 1975:
Not only does this mark the return of the famous "Pink Panther" diamond, but also the successful return of Peter Sellers as Clouseau (along with Edwards, Mancini, Dreyfus, and Cato). Sir Charles Lytton is portrayed by Christopher Plummer.

6) The Pink Panther Strikes Again, 1976:
Dreyfus' insanity reaches a pinnacle, as he tries to intimidate the rest of the world into killing Clouseau.

7) Revenge of the Pink Panther, 1978: (Note this is the last Pink Panther film Peter Sellers starred in and he died 2 years later in 1980):
This film pits Clouseau against the French Connection. This is the last film in which Sellers played Clouseau; he died two years after its release.

8) Trail of the Pink Panther, 1982:
Features Peter Sellers as Clouseau using unused material from Strikes Again, this was intended as a tribute to Sellers, but after its release, Sellers' widow Lynne Frederick successfully sued Edwards and the studio for tarnishing her late husband's memory. David Niven and Capucine reprise their original roles.

9) Curse of the Pink Panther, 1983:
Inspector Clouseau and The Pink Panther diamond, both of which had gone missing in Trail, are pursued by the bumbling American detective, Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass). Clouseau returns in an amusing cameo played by an uncredited Roger Moore after having plastic surgery to disguise his identity. Although intended to spawn a new series of misadventures for Sergeant Sleigh, the film's dismal bobox office performance and critical drubbing led to a Panther hibernation for the next decade.

10) Son of the Pink Panther, 1993:
Roberto Benigni tries to revive the series by portraying Gendarme Jacques Gambrelli, Inspector Clouseau's illegitimate son by Maria Gambrelli (the murder suspect from A Shot in the Dark). Once again, many former Panther co-stars return. Although intended to relaunch the series with a new lovable bumbling hero, Son became the final installment in the original Panther series.

11) The Pink Panther, 2006:
This relaunches a new Pink Panther series starring Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau and Kevin Kline as Chief Inspector Dreyfus. Not a remake of the original film, this forms a new starting point for a contemporary series, introducing the Clouseau and Dreyfus characters along with the famous diamond to a new generation.

12) The Pink Panther 2, 2009:
The sequel to Steve Martin's 2006 film. Martin reprises his role, but John Cleese replaces Kevin Kline as Chief Inspector Dreyfus."

Note: The above information about the 12 Pink Panther movies is taken from the wikipedia site listed above about the Pink Panther.

The original Pink Panther series with Peter Sellers playing Inspector Clouseau is the funniest comedy movie and it has to be the number one in the funniest category because it is very hilarious.

Hilarious Category: 7 (highest)

The Guinea Pig Making Electricity Humor

2011-10-28T16:20:00.000-07:00

This is another bad economy humor in which a man sits at his laptop and next to him is a fishtank filled with water. On top of the water tank is a little boat with 3 guinea pigs paddling in unisom in one direction to create power for his laptop. One of the guinea pigs is holding a large microphone in which it yells directions to the other 2 guinea pigs. The man says that he needed to figure out a way to save on his electric bill and he was able to train his guinea pigs to paddle in unisom so he now has electricity for his laptop. It is hilarious to watch this commercial seeing the guinea pigs paddle in unisom.

The Thanksgiving Turkey Humor

2011-10-21T19:56:00.000-07:00

There is a very funny tin foil commercial on TV these days that made me chuckle because it is very funny as one spots what is going on on the screen. A man is ready to servey the turkey on Thanksgiving Day to the entire family and extended family which includes someone's elderly father. As he stands at the table trying to cut the turkey he is just sawing away with the knife over and over again but the turkey is not moving because evidently it is dry as a rock. Nearby the elderly male relative peers into the man's eyes as if to say "how much longer will you keep us in suspense with this bone dry turkey?"

Then they replay the commercial with the man using the tin foil and the turkey is covered with it in important places and then it comes out perfectly juicy and soft. Now the family is happy again for another year and the episode of the dried up turkey is as if it never happened except in humor land it did happen.

Peggy and the new Coupon Deal Humor

2011-10-05T18:40:00.000-07:00

Peggy is a customer service agent for a credit card and her mobile office is located in a place that looks like Siberia. There is a new commercial with Peggy in it and in this one there are repairs being made by one of the office workers on the phone wires and sparks are flying through the office and maybe this is the reason why Peggy is sitting under her desk. In this new "Peggy" credit card commercial a young lady calls to have her credit card points redeemed for cash but the customer service agent, a male sounding, male looking Peggy located somewhere in the coldest part of Siberia in a trailer like office filled with old-fashioned phones and desks and people. So Peggy is sitting under her desk for some reason as "she" answers the call and says This is Peggy, how can I help you? The girl wonders "Peggy? I want to redeem my points for cash." Peggy answers "We don'ttt use points and now we use coupons." The young woman says "Coupons?" Peggy says "yes coupons." So the young woman wants to know how it works and Peggy says that "you need coupons to get tokkkkens." So the young woman says "then do I get my cash?" Peggy says "no then you get crediiihhts. The girl says and then I get my cash? No then you call me back again, goodbye," and then hangs up. The woman is dumb foundedly confused and wonders "what just happened?" and Peggy has probably gone to sleep under "her" desk.

The bad Economy song Humor

2011-09-21T17:23:00.000-07:00

In an insurance commercial this lady says that downloading songs can be expensive in this bad economy and she had to find a cheaper way and has taught her dog and her cocatoo bird how to play music on the electronic piano and the bird sings. So next thing is we hear the two animals sing and play an oldie and she is directing them saying "there you go Mr. Butters" and I guess she was talking to the dog, or bird?

The Bad Economy Fish Humor

2011-09-21T17:20:00.000-07:00

In one of the commercials there is a woman and she tells a story as to how the bad economy had her save on buying meat and they had to sacrifice their gold fish and cook it for her husband. The following day the daughter noticed the empty fish bowl and came walking into the kitchen just as dad was eating "the fish" and she asks if they had seen the pet gold fish (by name). Dad says "did you look under the cabinet?" The girl says "they are a fish and they live in water in a bowl." Dad says "so what are you going to do" as he chews "the fish." She walks off and says "whatever" seemingly unaware that dad was eating the goldfish at that moment.

Do you want some gum Humor

2011-09-20T13:08:00.000-07:00

In the movie “Telling Secrets” a police detective asks the other detective: “Do you want some gum?” He answered: “No.” So the first detective said “good, because I don’t have any.”

Dial 2 for Toys Humor

2011-09-20T13:06:00.000-07:00

In a car insurance commercial there is a guy talking to a child about how to get toys when dialing a number. He says for broccoli dial 1, for toys dial 2. The girl says "I want toys." Then he says "sorry you will have to call back next week our computers are down."

In another car insurance commercial the same guy talks to a girl saying "friends get a free toy like this bicycle." Then the guy gives her a little cut out picture of the bicycle to have. The girl says "no I want the real bicycle." The guy then says that "the new bicycle is for new friends only." The child is disappointed because why should a new friend be treated better than an old friend.

The Babysitter is a Robot Humor

2011-09-20T13:00:00.000-07:00

In a new car insurance commercial a woman steps up to the camera and says that she wants a robot to be the babysitter of her child. As she speaks the camera shows her child being sprayed with water by a robot nanny. In another scene the robot nanny carries the children around and they scream and don't want to be carried around. Another very funny robot nanny makes dial up the internet noises when she is supposed to tend to a child. So the woman concludes, "yes robots aren't perfect but they are very inexpensive, or free, to babysit my children so why worry about the shortcomings they have."

The Brita Water Filter Commercial Humor

2011-08-19T17:54:00.000-07:00

In the new Brita water filter commercial a woman comes running, in the middle of Alaska with ice and snow everywhere, and she yells "yooohhoo" to a local man who is drinking ice cold refreshing water from the water source, which could be a lake, and is pristine and clean and refreshing looking. She says "here is some water from the mall and she hands him a Brita water filtered bottle and hands it to the man and he drinks it and nodds approvingly. I found this commercial not only refreshing because it was so hot here again this summer, but also hilarious, to think that a regular middle aged woman who might have been to the mall just before she got to Alaska to hand the man the Brita water bottle.

Reply to comments:
Thanks for the nice comments. I just wanted to say that I use Brita water filters because I am not so blessed like the wonderful people in Alaska to have crisp clean water. The water in Alaska is much cleaner than the Brita and I forgot to mention that. I put the humor here because to watch the commercial made me aware of the extreme pureness of the water that the people have access to but how long will this be so as the world is moving on and on to destroying the environment more and more and icebergs are melting, etc. It doesn't matter to have running water to me, what matters most to me is who has the purest water, and the Eskimo people do. When the man nods approvingly it is only to say "well you pass the purity test for the outside world but I still prefer my pure crisp water of Alaska" and I hope the writer of the comment, who is also a native person, can understand my humor better now. The humor is on the man's side not the woman since she has to have a filter yet the man has the purity of his water straight from God which is much more advantageous than man's gadgets, and more healthy and nutritious too.

The Car Insurance Humor

2011-08-19T13:30:00.000-07:00

A man calls the lady at his car insurance company "hi this is David and I had an accident" he says. The new car insurance is so slow he tells her. The woman recognizes him and says "oh David yes I remember you and you dropped us last month so I can't help you. "Yes I know he whines." The woman asks him "have you put your car into the ground again with the nose down?" He is now crying and the woman asks him "David are you crying." In the background is his car face down in the ground and smoke is coming from the car. In the end it says David needs to come back to our insurance.

New "Peggy" Genius Commercial

2011-08-18T03:56:00.000-07:00

This time an irritated woman is calling the credit customer service department (in Russia?) where Peggy works. Peggy answers and says "my name is Peggy how can I help you?" The woman wants to talk to the manager and Peggy says "manger is genius" and then says "transfer" and then several other people in Peggy's office pick up the "same" phone (people we have seen before) and say into it in rapid succession: "transfer, transfer, transfer, etc. " and all of a sudden (after 5 transfer messages into the same phone by different people) Peggy is answering again and says, "Hi my name Peggy how can I help you?" The woman is now frustrated and says "Peggy I know" in a very frustrated voice and hangs up.

Touching Women Every Day Humor

2011-08-12T07:23:00.000-07:00

There is a new show on the IFC channel called "Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings" which is a great show with much humor. Like today they are in San Bernardino CA and they evaluated where the name San Bernardino came from, possibly, a dog, then it might have been a man named Bernard or maybe that came first and then the dog and then the city, etc.

They saw a hair salon sign called "Da Spot" and went to talk to the owner. He is going to change the sign to Troy's Spot (his name). Anyway the owner said he loves his job because he gets to "touch women every day" so Link was seriously wondering to what that meant. Could it mean a literal touching of women? The owner said he meant that philosophically and guess what? I believe him but how many others will believe it?

Anyway, the salon is a salon owned by an African American man and the two guys asked him "what would you do to attract white women?" The guy said "your'e asking me?

One woman with long black hair came up with a solution: "if you advertise that you do all kinds of hair, white, etc. then I would come to your salon." Sounds truly feminine doesn't it? Always a point to make on how to enhance beauty the correct way. Now if I went to a salon serving African American's I would just let them do my hair and trust that they know hair since I won't need any complicated chemicals put in my hair and I just would need a trim here and there and any salon could do that.

The Pudding Face Humor

2011-08-11T05:39:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has seen the pudding face commercial knows how funny the face looks of the one who has the pudding face. This is what has happened in the commercial: Someone is looking for their pudding and as a man who is asked about the pudding's whereabout's is asked, his pudding face is revealed as he puts down the paper and is denying that he was the one who took the pudding; yet the truth is on his face which is: yes he took the pudding since he has a pudding face. A pudding face looks like this:

As you can see he pudding face is a permanent smile fixed / pasted onto a person!!

The Life Insurance Humor

2011-06-30T16:52:00.000-07:00

I was watching a movie yesterday and I forgot the name of the movie so if you the reader comes across a similar movie please post it here in my comments area - thanks. Anyway, in the movie there was a life insurance agent talking to three women about the 1 million dollars he is about to give a person living in their neighborhood and he wanted to find their house. The agent also mentioned that these people had just gotten the insurance last week and already someone had died in their family. One of the women mentioned that "this sounds kind of suspicious doesn't it? The agent said "no, not really because it happens all the time."

The Blonde Construction Worker Humor

2011-06-26T15:12:00.000-07:00

This humor is about a blonde construction worker and I don't usually like to add "blonde" jokes, this one is one that I will add because it is kind of unusual:

Three construction workers, one Italian, one Mexican, and one Blonde, were sitting on a steel girder having lunch on the 20th story of the high-rise building they were working on.

As the Italian opened his lunch pail he moaned “Oh no, my wife packed Spaghetti again, I hate Spaghetti. If I open my lunch tomorrow and there’s Spaghetti in it, seriously, I’ll probably jump right off this building.”

The Mexican opened his lunch and cried “No Way! Tacos again…I hate tacos. I’m with you brother, if there’s tacos again in my lunch tomorrow, I’m jumping.”

The Blonde guy opened his lunch and cried “Baloney sandwich again??? I hate baloney. I’m with you guys, if there’s even a trace of baloney again in my lunch tomorrow, I’m jumping too.”

The next day when the Italian opened his lunch and found Spaghetti, he immediately jumped to his death. Likewise when the Mexican found tacos in his lunch he followed his coworker to the hard pavement below. Then when the Blonde guy found baloney in his lunch, he jumped to his death as well.

A few days later at the wake for all three men, the Italian guy’s wife cried and said “If only I had known how much he hated Spaghetti, I would have packed something else." The Mexican’s wife said “Me too, if I had only known, I’d have given him enchiladas or something."

They both looked expectantly at the Blonde guy’s wife and she said:

“Don’t look at me….he makes (made) his own lunch.”

The Little Piggy Humor

2011-06-26T14:44:00.000-07:00

Anybody can remember the funny little game that parents play with their children on their little fingers: "this little piggy goes to market, etc." and then we come to the last one..."and this little piggy cries weee weee wee all the way home." Well, there is a new commercial that is so hilarious: A woman is driving a little pig that can talk home in her car and this little pig is crying "weee weee wee" the whole time while she is driving. All of a sudden the woman stops and says in a very tired and disgusted voice: "Piggy, you are home." The Piggy answers: "Oh thanks Mrs. A. Then the woman leaves with a relieved look on her face (or at least I think she does).

This is such a lighthearted humor that I never get bored seeing this commercial so I had to write it down and I am sure the lightheartedness of it will come through to the readers also. What makes it so lighthearted, I think, is hearing that "wee, wee, wee," the longest time during the commercial and the woman never complained.

The Vet Cat Commercial Humor

2011-06-21T15:48:00.000-07:00

In this commercial a fancy breed of cat, and it looks like a skinny type with very short hair, goes to the vet. On the commercial it mentions that this cat is a male named Max. So Max has his check-up and he acts as all cats do - proud to be noticed - and as sweet as he can be. He was rubbing his head into the vet's hands, as all cats like to do. The very best part of the commercial came when Max was finished with the exam and the vet sat at his desk and he was writing and Max spread his beautiful cat body all over his desk over all his paper work and the voice (speaking for the cat) said "I hope I am not disturbing you Mr. Vet" in the way that the Garfield cartoon cat voice would speak (nonchalantly)- and how my own cat does at times. Cats want to remind us to stop working sometimes and to interact with them because everyone needs a little humor each day (yup they do).
