Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today I thought we'd do another You Should Laugh More post.
Research has shown that laughter is good for us. It has all kinds of health benefits. Despite most of us knowing this, none of us laugh enough. Yeah, I know, being an adult is tough, and furthermore there is a lot of grim stuff happening in the world. These things may be true, but that just is all the more reason for trying to get a little laughter into our lives.
Sir Patrick Stewart Throws a Hail Arnold
This is as crazy as it sounds. Also featuring Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Drew Barrymore, Knuckles, Master Chief, and Creed, they all are trapped in a desperate situation and Patrick comes up with the only way to save them: throwing a kid with a football-shaped head.
Patrick Steward vs Mark Hamill
A few years ago we got a strange but great series of commercials for UberEats that pitted Picard against Luke. For decades fans have been arguing about which is better, Star Trek or Star Wars. UberEars decided to play off this and have Patrick Steward and Mark Hamill, the two stars from their respective franchises who have turned in the past few years to using their pop culture status for humor. They did a number of these commercials. This clip combines them. Enjoy!
I've Seen Everything
Many of you may have seen this one. This isn't a commercial, but is when he guested on Extras, which was was a British sitcom by Ricky Gervais from around 2005. This is to my knowledge the first time Stewart made a turn towards comedy, which at the time surprised all of us, both at the turn to comedy and at how good he was.
So what do you think? Did it make you laugh or was it just stupid? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
