In case you didn't know it, Google is the b.o.m.b
It completely made my day today.
People are always sending me videos in a COMMENT or a BULLETIN or your FUN WALL. We are all swimming in "funny" videos these days. There are too many of them, and most of them aren't even funny. Except the ones I have done, of course! Seriously you guys- I have done some funny videos- like stuff that's gotten a couple hundred hits. Those kind of numbers are really encouraging to a struggling "funny" person.
But today, I went back to my roots. I thought back to a time before video comments/bulletins/FUN WALLS. I was digging deep. My inner monologue went something like this:
"What was the first internet video that really made me laugh and WHY?"
And then I was all, "oh!" And then I was all, "I hate when people say 'I was all...'"
I recalled a video sent to me as a LINK in an email (hello caveman!) YEARS ago...back when I worked at a Television station in Denver, and we were starved for "funny" to kill the time at work. But I was all, "how can I ever find it again?"
That's where Google comes in, guys. I typed in four words that connected me to the best video on the internet. EVER.
OLD. LADY. DOG. WALKING
And (WAIT! DO NOT SCROLL DOWN YET ANTSY PANTS!) because I think it's important for all of us to reconnect with our own unique senses of humor and celebrate each and every one, I invite you to watch this and celebrate your own.
By the way, I wish google would track how many times something like "old lady dog walking" has been googled. Because if we tracked how many times we've all googled our own names, we would all appear to be VERY famous. 10 million "google hits?" holy crap! I want you in my picture!
I also truly believe that gmail (a brilliant product of google) was develped to act as a cock block, but that's a theory for another blog.
But in conclusion- I heart google and all of you, and this is why.
