What part are you yelling at Rhett for?

THE FACT THAT HE THINKS GIRLS WOULD BE FLATTERED AND NOT CREEPED OUT IF SOMEONE PINNED THEM!

He has clearly never experienced creepy uninvited attention from someone you’re not into. He should go talk to Jessie/Christy/Lily/Stevie/literally any woman.

Rhett McLaughlin is such an ass and I love him so much.

Words can’t describe how much I love this ear biscuit. I died at Jessie saying that Rhett’s ego didn’t need to be inflated further by putting him on a white horse. 😂

Traditional Nostalgic Singaporean Chinese 耳朵饼 (ear biscuit)

This is a kind of old-fashioned spicy but sweet Chinese biscuit...

What makes things funny?

I am both a little sentimental and relieved (for the guys) after listening to the last Ear Biscuit of 2017. Rhett and Link have worked too much this year, and they've entertained us in so many ways that they definately deserve and need the break. My only wish is they get to relax over the holidays and not just travel around North-Carolina to visit all relatives and friends they have there.

It's actually funny that for the first time ever, I am kind of faced with a similar problem as they are, of having to stay at my parents' house for Christmas despite the fact that I will probably sleep poorly, get anxious, end up in an argument with a family member, and most likely, at some point, close myself in the bathroom and cry. I love my family, and it's been a while since I saw my siblings, but I've finally found a way to feel comfortable living on my own, and for the first time ever, I'm considering if I should just come home every night since I live so close. I already know I probably won't because I'm kind of the masterplanner of our festivities, and I also love Christmas night when I sit in the living room and just look at the Christmas tree and the twinkling lights. And waking up on Christmas morning wouldn't feel quite the same if I wasn't there. I wonder if I'm finally becoming an adult? Crap. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that...

The rabbit hole of this week's Biscuit was the question What makes something funny? You'd expect this question to lead up into a humorous conversation, but instead we were given this deep, meaningful discussion about all the things that make us laugh. I know that laughter is infectious, and I know I find the weirdest things funny sometimes, but I've never really analyzed why. The example Rhett brought up was the community college rant Rhett gave us recently - I'm guessing he got some not-so-amused feedback on that. For me the funniest part about the rant was how Rhett just kept going with it despite probably knowing at some point that it was a bit politically incorrect. I also laughed at Link's discomfort. But at no point did I laugh at anyone who's studied at community college. In fact, I would probably find a similar rant about any random topic hilarious. It's not so much the topic but how it's treated that makes me laugh.

I have a bad habit of making my own failures a joke. I've spent years focusing too much energy on thinking about if people are laughing at me, my appearance or my behaviour. Recently, I've found a way to turn my lack of confidence into humour, and I often amuse the people around me, and myself, with emphasizing something silly I've done. I think it's really important to be able to laugh at yourself, not in a mean way, but with fondness. I dropped a huge open vat of gesso (primer for art canvases) on my living room floor today and ended up making a big mess, but instead of accusing myself for being stupid, I scooped the stuff off the floor and posted a photo of my now white floor on FB. I laughed at myself, a lot like I laugh at Link when he does something particularly dumb on GMM. With affection and acception.

It's often easier to name the things which aren't funny rather than those which are, but also, many times it's really all about the context. Sometimes I've watched some quite popular stand up comedians whose entire show is based on negativity, and for me, that is really off-putting. The saying how you should laugh with people, not at people, is a cliche, but also very much true.

If someone asked me right now, what I find funny, the short answer would be "Rhett and Link". This year has been a bit of an roller coaster for me personally, and I feel that being here, in this moment, feeling pretty much ok, is mostly because of the laughs they've provided. I also feel that none of the laughs would have been quite as exhilarating if I didn't also know their comedy is based on their friendship, or that they do these things to make each other laugh. Genuiness is what makes them funny, and I'd like to say that comedy which comes from the heart is the kind of comedy I find the funniest.

The next Ear biscuit will be posted on January 15th, 2018. I hope we get to hear then that the guys are well-rested and energized - and I kind of hope Link gets even a tiny Christmas present (not a gift card) from someone. Thank you @rhettandlink for making this year so mythical!
