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.

Today I have some more random silliness for you today.

Let's get going!

Batphone

Let's start with this one. I think for years after the 60s Batman series, Adam West tried to distance himself from the role. When it followed him around and he was typecast, he tried to distance himself even more. But finally as he got older, he started to embrace it. And did all kinds of things making fun of his image, like this:

Johnny Bravo Meets Adam West

Johnny Bravo was a silly show that was popular for a few seasons. This one featured Adam West.

The entire episode is amazing. If you can find it, I fully recommend watching.

Johnny Bravo Meets Scooby-Doo

Speaking of Johnny Bravo, they did another crossover episode featuring Scooby-Doo. This one is also really funny and is worth tracking down. Here's a clip:

Adam West in 2022's The Batman

Ok, this one isn't laugh-out-loud like the other's, but as long as we are on the theme, someone made a trailer for the most recent Batman movie, but substituted in Adam West (and the other OG crew). This is great!

To the Bee-Mobile!

Speaking of Adam West, this has to be one of my all time favorite Simpsons bits.

Billie Jean

Let's break these Adam West theme and end on this one. Someone took some dancing clips from Laurel and Hardy and set them to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean. This works way better than you might think. I love it!

So what do you think? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
