April Foolishness Dat 30: The Kiss

For the final day of April Foolishness I get a bit foolish myself. I am playing my favorite Doctor Who clip (again) because any excuse is good to see this scene.

April Foolishness Day 29: Steven Wright

One of the funniest dead-pan comedians is Steven Wright.  Enjoy this tidbit of his wit.

April Foolishness Day 28: Bohemian Rhapsody

From the classic comedy Wayne's World, the ultimate car jam (lovin' the Pacer):

April Foolishness Day 27: The Two Ronnies

Yet another of the BBC's great and foolish comedy shows, the Two Ronnies always featured a news segment which was my favorite part of the show:

April Foolishness Day 26: Dead Mouse part 2

Okay, not a dead mouse, but a live Rat really. A scene from Basil the Rat. The final Fawlty Towers episode.

April Foolishness Day 25: Dead Mouse part 1

Welcome to the Great White North. Bob and Doug McKenzie. These two were always funny with their foolishness.

April Foolishness Day 24: Steve Dahl

If you grew up in Chicago in the late 70's and early 80's you knew Steve Dahl.  His name was synonymous with bad taste, warped humor, and the end of Disco.  His warped humor, and bad taste can be heard in this parody song:

April Foolishness Day 23: Geraldine

For today's April Foolishness we take on the time honored tradition of Female Impersonators.  As I child I loved the Flip Wilson show,  Here is a classic scene with Geraldine (Flip) and Ray Charles...Enjoy!!

April Foolishness Day 22: Yo-Yo Man

For today's foolishness, the Smother's Brothers present Yo-Yo Man.  I love these guys:

April Foolishness Day 21: Weather

Here is a look at a very young George Carlin as the hippy dippy weatherman...gotta love George:

April Foolishness Day 20: Great Dictator

Today's foolishness, isn't really foolishness at all.  Today we look at a serious clip from one of the greatest comic minds.  For years Charlie Chaplin silently made us laugh.  In the Great Dictator (one of I believe two talkies Chaplin made) he gives this wonderful speech.  In light of the recent bombings in Boston, and on the Anniversary of Hitler's birth, April Foolishness takes a serious break.  Please feel free to comment.

April Foolishness Day 19: Bowling

Okay, this foolishness is just kind of silly, but I always loved it when Fred Flintstone bowled.

April Foolishness Day 18: John & Yoko...almost

From The Rutles, here is Nasty and Chastity.  Not super duper funny, but foolish enough.

April Foolishness Day 17: Pond

Todays April Foolishness comes from Comic Relief Doctor Who special clip where Amy Pond runs into herself in a time loop. Very funny.

April Foolishness Day 16: Dave Allen

No look at April Foolishness would be complete without a visit from Dave Allen. Every Sunday he would visit between Monty Python and Doctor Who.

April Foolishness Day 15: Wedding Rehearsal

Today our April Foolishness looks at Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in Runaway Bride, as a wedding rehearsal does not go as planned.

April Foolishness Day 14: She's a Witch

Returning today to the comic mind-meld known as Monty Python we present today's April Foolishness, the Witch scene from Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

April Foolishness Day 13: Song of Solomon

Today for our April Foolishness we look to the Bible.  In the song Baby Why Not Me? Mark Lowry looks at the beautiful woman(?) described in Song of Solomon.

April Foolishness Day 12: Iron Lady does Python

With the recent passing of Margaret Thatcher, my good friend Stacy posted this video on facebook, and I thought I'd share it.  Maybe not as much of a gut buster as some of this month's posts; and definitely nothing to rival John Cleese's original presentation, but still quite funny, and better than a lot of political mumbo jumbo.

April Foolishness Day 11: Oingo Boingo

Before Danny Elfman propelled Oingo Boingo to Cult music superstar status, they had humble beginnings on the Gong Show.  Thanks to my friend Glenn for sharing this with me.

April Foolishness Day 10: "Squirrel"

I believe it was my good friend from college, Dwight Reifsnyder that introduced me to Ray Stevens' classic song about a squirrel getting looser in a church service.  I'm sure it will leave you laughing.

April Foolishness Day 9: Planes, Trains and Pillows

Steve Martin, John Candy sharing a bed...what could possibly go wrong?

April Foolishness Day 8: Ferris

What April Foolishness challenge would be complete with out a look at everyone's favorite high schooler, Ferris Bueller:

April Foolishness Day 7: Everybody Dances

A classic today from the Seinfeld vault...Elaine Dances... Enjoy:

April Foolishness Day 6: Mawwiage

As we enter into Springtime our thoughts turn to love and marriage.  For our April Foolishness today we look at the humorous wedding scene from Princess Bride featuring Peter Cook as a clergyman with a slight speech impediment.

April Foolishness Day 5: Baseball

As we begin baseball season, and continue April Foolishness, I am pleased to present one of the classic pieces of comic foolishness. Abbott and Costello's Who's on First.

April Foolishness Day 4: Spam

Can't get much farther into April Foolishness without a visit to Monty Python and the Spam cafe.  Try not to laugh, I dare you.:

April Foolishness Day 3: Kissing Girls

Katy Perry caused a bit of a music stir with her song I Kissed a Girl.  Karen Gillan (aka Amy Pond on Doctor Who) gave the song an April Foolish twist in this parody video:

April Foolishness Day 2: Dracula Song

Although I am a huge Kristen Bell fan, forgetting Sarah Marshall is not my favorite movie.  But this seen fits perfect in the April foolishness theme:

April Foolishness Day 1: The Germans

As we celebrate foolishness, we must present the funniest man alive. John Cleese from one of the BBC's funniest shows, Fawlty Towers.  Here is my favorite clip:
