  Do the health benefits work for extremely nervous laughter? Because that’s what this video triggers in me.

  Aheh heh… *tugs on collar*

  Fake laughter is the best bogus medicine, I always say. Crack a smile for crackpottery!

  Fake laughter is a major symptom of placebo addiction.

  Laughter with no basis is comedy is called MENTAL ILLNESS.

  But strangely enough, the first video does remind me of the end of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Watching Ethel Merman slipping on a banana peel is not funny.

  I respectfully disagree with you on this, sir.

  I would disagree as well. Just reading that made me do a spit take…and yes spit takes are still funny.

  I stand by this claim. Now, if it had been a tangelo or a basket of elderberries then my side would have split with laughter. But not a banana. See, my parents were killed by a banana fiend and my father wasn’t trained to defend against a banana fiend. He skipped that class. (*sob*) That’s enough, turn the camera off…

  I really have no opinion on this, I just wanted to quote Randy again.

  i loved this video. It was so funny. But even if you are making fun of Hialry Clintion who should not put her in there. She is such a discrace to woman all over the world. I would have left my man if I found out that he was cheating on me. But i would have slaped him first!!!!!!!!!

  That’s nothing….I once witnessed a person laughing during a viewing of a Rob Schneider movie….so the laughing for no apparant reason is nothing new.

  If laughter is the best medicine why do I pee when I laugh? Will it not help incontinence?

  MST3k is often my daily dose of healthy laughter. Now, with Rifftrax, I have fresh sources of laughter-inducing cinematic heckling with which to torture my riff-impaired husband.

  Seriously. A close friend of mine had Hodgkins Disease (lymph cancer) many years ago. She has a great sense of humor, and I’m convinced it is part of what saved her bacon* through the whole ordeal. I remember a nurse poking her head in to my friend’s room one day because we were in there whooping it up in the cancer ward, for crying out loud. Laughter is just as good as apples for keeping the sawbones away, IMO.

  *obligatory bacon reference, per RiffBlog statutes.
