Are the political debates on MeFi stressing you out? The solution is simple: laugh it off. (warning: embedded video, silly)

Does the honorable yogi have a patent on this yet? posted by Rothko at 10:19 AM on July 14, 2005
Someone get the Cillit Bang remixer on this, stat. posted by boo_radley at 10:20 AM on July 14, 2005
I just had a flashback to that excruciating scene from The Office where Brent is giving the business seminar and unsuccessfully urging everyone to laugh, which he demonstrates with own creepy laughter over and over, sounding a bit like the yogi. posted by dhoyt at 10:22 AM on July 14, 2005

The trailer is nowhere near as creepy and awful as the actual film, tweak. I'm sure nearly everyone in the theater thought about walking out on more than one occasion. posted by shawnj at 11:03 AM on July 14, 2005
wouldn't you LOVE to know who or what is under that golden robe? posted by Al_Truist at 11:06 AM on July 14, 2005
"I am happy I am relaxed! I am happy I am relaxed! I am happy I am relaxed! I am happy I am relaxed!"
"Whoo! Whoo! Whoooooooooo!"

For some reason this reminded me of the skeleton dance in the old Mickey Mouse cartoon. posted by sbutler at 11:51 AM on July 14, 2005
Now, see, this is the direction Tom Cruise is heading... posted by konolia at 12:54 PM on July 14, 2005
Can't wait for What Is It to play here. I've been waiting for that for years. I'm glad it's finally finished. But then again, I dig Crispin Glover's grasp on the "Aesthetic of Discomfort" as he calls it. There's a couple pages in one of his books which are darkly funny. They're two sets of two photos, one with a man whose jaw has been blown off, the second is of the same man with the wound healed a bit more. From memory (the books are about 6 feet away from me, but I would prefer not to pull them out right now to get the exact quotes), the Fresh Wound set is captioned "At first I was surprised", the Healed Wound is "But, with all things, over time I grew to accept it."
The expressions actually really match the photos.
Although, however disturbing those photos are, they cannot compare to that guy's laughing. Jeeeezum crow. posted by Rev. Syung Myung Me at 12:55 PM on July 14, 2005
He may say he's laughing but he looks horrified. And now, so am I.
Don't the french have a word - "frisson," i think that means, simulaneous humor and horror? posted by TheStorm at 1:38 PM on July 14, 2005
Wow, Crispin Glover *is* crazy, but probably on purpose. I must see that film. posted by ddf at 2:17 PM on July 14, 2005
ZachsMind: lol. Hell you don't even need a video for that, just picturing it makes me laugh.
Just like clowns, he scares me rather than relaxes me or makes me laugh. Someone please give the poor old man who's lost his mind his medication for the day to calm him down. Thank you! posted by state fxn at 8:11 PM on July 14, 2005
Everytime I see this video I expect it to be a 'Jerzy Balowski' bit off The Young Ones.
