I don't know whether I've mentioned it here before, but physical comedy is my kryptonite. When anything visually funny happens in a TV show or a movie we're watching, my husband immediately and wordlessly rewinds it for me so I can watch it again. That's love.
Whether big or small, the fastest way to my funny bone is something visually/physically funny. Which is why my husband knew he had to show me this video immediately.
Bonus, because my husband and I can't stop watching this:
The summer games are upon us, and I cannot get enough. I've still got Five Ring Fever (v. contagious) like crazy.

Rio 2016? Rio 2016! Simone Biles is showing us all who's boss! Michael Phelps is being Michael Phelps! Leslie Jones is going ham (language may not be SFW, but it's worth experiencing her infectious spirit) and everyone loves it! The pools are turning green and the man behind the curtain claims it's fine! And we haven't even gotten to track & field events yet!
I'm in a Facebook group to chat about the Olympics (of course I am), and I'm following all of the happenings on social media. Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are some of my favorite moments and memes so far.
Variations of this tweet that I've seen all over and can't stop chuckling about. I volunteer to do the uneven bars so that we can all witness the HANG IN THERE kitten poster come to life.
Every Olympic Event Should include one Average Person Competing for Reference.

These recaps on Elle's site are somehow both delightfully asinine and perfectly poignant.

There's been so much good stuff flying around the internet that my weekly Friday fun post can hardly capture it all—I'm sharing more over on Twitter if you want to keep up, or come share yours!
Fruit of the Loom has had some really terrific ad campaigns over the last few years. This one about appropriate underwear gift-giving cracked me up with its poignancy when it first hit the small screen a couple years back. (Raise your hand if you're a married, 30-something woman whose mother still gives you undies at Christmas.) (Hi, Mom.)
More recently, this ad makes me laugh every time it pops up. The thing with clever marketing is that if it doesn't help you remember the brand or product, what's the point? Fruit of the Loom nails it because they manage to be funny, memorable, and brand-appropriate while highlighting the features of the product. No easy feat for many brands, but particularly impressive when marketing unmentionables.
Enjoy!
Bonus: these aren't bad, either.
