Love it, too! Kudos to the screenwriters and Peter Dinklage for being able to laugh at himself. I think, in today's climate, there's no way they'd write a scene like that in a movie. |

Logan Circle about 2006/2007. I am leaving the 7-11 at 14th and Rhode Island on a sunny Sunday in May aka on Mother's day. There is a guy hanging around outside asking people for $ and leaning on the trash can.
As I pass, he says "Happy Mother's day" to me. I reply "Im not a mother." He blatantly looks me up and down and says rather hopefully "you should be." Dude you are leaning on a trash can, not exactly a prime candidate for impregnation. 15 years later I am now a mother and I think of him every mother's day still laugh at the absurdity of it all. |
Okay, I have read this entire article and I haven’t found the funny part, except for Bob’s anecdote in the last paragraph. I found it interesting to read about what was going on behind the scenes, but I can’t figure out what is funny about this article. |
It's the pacing of the Fenton video that gets me. I also love all the many stories of border collies who just have to border collie, no matter where they find themselves or under what circumstances. They are so happy to work!

It springs eternal. |
Interesting!! I thought the whole tone was of sort of deadpanned humor, I remember thinking it was a really humerus piece. But you're right, it's not funny in the way a lot of these other videos etc are funny. |
| Funny as a long arm bone, maybe. |
Uhhh, cricket-cricket. |
Ah yes!!! This is great 🤣😂 |
I know someone who keeps saying she's depending on the lord to keep her Covid free,not even kidding. No vaccine. No masks. Lady, the Lord can't do anything more to help you! |
No. It's not that funny and we need to let it die. |

“I think Pringles' original intention was to make tennis balls... But on the day the rubber was supposed to show up, a truckload of potatoes came. Pringles is a laid-back company, so they just said "F*@& it, cut em up!"” I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don’t need a receipt for the doughnut. I’ll just give you the money, and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don’t need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can’t imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. Some skeptical friend: “Don’t even act like I didn’t get that doughnut! I got the documentation right here…oh, wait it’s at home…in the file…under “D”. |
