funny Christmas videos by Straight No Chaser

I just realized there are no videos here of Straight No Chaser.  I’m not sure how that happened, since these are funny and really well-done.

I know these aren’t new, but if you haven’t heard/seen them, you should check it out.  Even if you have seen these already, they’re worth seeing again.  FYI, the group is putting out new music, but here are their two classic Christmas songs.

First is “The Christmas Can-Can (Animated Version)”.  Someone made a video to go with the funny lyrics.

If you haven’t seen them perform it live, it’s amusing, too, and you can watch it on YouTube here: Straight No Chaser – The Christmas Can-Can (With A Special Greeting).

Lastly, here’s “The 12 Days of Christmas”, as only Straight No Chaser can sing it.

FYI, if you’re wondering what “can-can” refers to, it’s a high-energy and physically demanding dance.  The tune used is from Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld.  (Yes, I had to look that up.  I knew it was an old song, but didn’t know the actual name of it.)

caption contest, karate training fail

So much busyness these days, hence the lack of posts lately.  But when times are busy and more stressful, humor is needed all the more.  So I’ll make time for this week’s caption contest.

This episode features two men attempting some kind of karate training or exercise.  Maybe one is the master and the other is the grasshopper.  It’s all up to you to iron that out.  So think of something funny to go with this picture.  It could be from one of the guys, or an outside observation, or you could create a story to go with it.

caption contest, train wreck through building

There wasn’t a caption contest last week because of Thanksgiving and my busyness, but this week things are back to normal.  So let’s kick it off with a bang… or, rather, a crash.

This week’s photo features a train wreck.  But this isn’t some normal derailment — this train went through a building.  And the tracks aren’t even in the picture!  So something extraordinary happened here.  It’s up to you to write a story or joke to go with this.  Here’s some starting points to help you think of something: Why did this happen?  How could this have happened?  Who was involved?  What do the owners of the building think?  What about the people watching?  Or the cleanup crew?  Remember, you can embellish the story however you want, or even just make it all up.  The goal is to be funny, not necessarily realistic.  Have fun with it.  Let your mind wander.

caption contest, woman surrounded by paperwork

New caption contest!  There’s a woman sitting at a desk, surrounded by papers.  What happened?  What will be done about this?  What’s the craziest thing that could be done about all this paperwork?
