Reverting to childhood

I think I'm going backwards in maturity level.

Over the past few months, I've been thinking a lot about the things I think are funny. I am increasingly amused by infantile, stupid humor. The dumber it is, the more it makes me laugh. The things on this list actually made me laugh out loud.


1. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
As Natalie recently mentioned in her blog, this movie was on cable this week. I watched it, and I think it would be fair to say that I liked it a lot better this time at the age of 22, than I did when it first came out at the age of 9. Marv was cracking me up. I loved the parts where he got hit in the face with the bricks and when he got electrocuted. (Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about. You know you do.)

Anyway, while we were watching the movie, Mimi said, "What kind of a name is MacCaulay anyway?" We grew up idolizing the kid and never made fun of his name. Thats probably why he ended up like THIS.

2. Nacho Libre
I can't wait to see this movie. Even though everybody loved School of Rock, and there were some funny parts in it, I didn't think it was all THAT great. However, watching Jack Black shoot beans out of his nose makes me laugh so hard that I want to cry. Therefore, I will be going to see this movie relatively quickly.
"Sometimes you wear stretchy pants...in your room...just for fun"
3. My favorite joke of all time
What is brown and sticky? Heck, I don't even know why I think this joke is funny. But I do. Its hilarious. And every time I hear it, it makes me laugh. Maybe its the sentimental value of it, but hey, I still like it.

So it may be possible that my idea of funny is not much different from my 6 year old cousin's, but how can you NOT laugh at this guy?
