Take a Mental Break: Funny Videos

Question

Hi guys and gals,

What helped me a lot when I was studying came in an expected form. As I approached my GMAT date, a trailer for the now released Deadpool II movie came out. The trailer featured Deadpool doing a (hilarious) impression of Bob Ross. The humorous clip, which I watched probably close to a dozen times, helped push me through a period of stagnation. In this vein, I am starting a thread to post funny videos. Though these video are supposed to be short, ideally less than 2 minutes, they are meant to help you recharge and refocus.

Breaks are a key part of the GMAT. If you burn yourself out, or push too hard, you will not only break your spirit and have a miserable time, you will become inefficient. You want to be as efficient as possible and have as much enjoyment as you can with this process.

So I encourage all of you to post videos to to this thread and make someone studying laugh for a minute. I will continuously update this list as videos are added!

Hey nightblade354

Cool initiative. Could I take liberty of addressing huge elephants as stress with a completely different perspective of humour as in this link:

My sense of humor is not very refined as I laugh at almost anything. Of the SNL's skits skits I find the funniest is Harry Potter: Hermione Growth Spurt. It is definitely not something I would show to my kids or be proud of but I can't resist sharing. I feel it is one of those basic skits with great cast and not overdone too much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwfdFCP3KYM

I find Sacha Baron Cohen hilarious. He's the genius behind the characters such as Borat, Ali G, Bruno.

He is among the most intelligent actors in the world, to be able to carry out all the bizarre things he's done. Many of his earlier practical jokes and sarcasm would never be aired live in today's politically correct world.

A couple of clips here:
