Friday 5s Belated Yet Again
Nov. 25th, 2024 06:38 pmI'm always late to these, but here are last Friday's Fives.
Friday 5:
1. Among people who are professionally funny, who most reliably makes you laugh?
James Acaster, Suzy Eddie Izzard (who I was lucky enough to see live a few years ago), and Atsuko Okatsuka
2. Which films have made you laugh most?
Plains, Trains and Automobiles is probably the one movie that has made me laugh the hardest. What We Do in the Shadows and We're the Millers also come to mind.
3. Whose comedy leaves you flat?
I'm not a huge Bo Burnham fan, although I did love his movie Eighth Grade. I don't hate him, but his comedy has kind of a depressing edge to it that gets under my skin.
4. When did you most recently laugh aloud at something you read?
This False Knees comic, which is part of a larger series that he's been posting on Instagram and I've been loving.
5. What are some of your favorite novelty songs?
Anything by Flight of the Conchords and Brian David Gilbert. I'll also always have a nostalgic love for "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."
The Friday Five:
1. What is your favorite childhood memory?
Playing soccer on a team, joint birthday parties with my best friend, every Halloween, watching Spice World over and over again, New Year's Eves spent staying up with Mom watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve, vacations at New Smyrna in the summers, playing in the woods at my cousins' house, Saturday morning cartoons with cereal... There are so many. I'm grateful that I had a good childhood.
2. If you could be reincarnated as anything besides human, who would you want to be?
A bird of prey
3. If you had to start your life all over, what are three things you would change?
I wouldn't be in a relationship at 15, I would accept the work study that was offered to me in high school, and I would devote myself to learning another language at an early age. That being said, I try not to dwell on regrets, especially because they all led to my current life, and I'm very happy now.
4. If you had to forget everything in your life, except one thing, what would it be?
This is a cruel question. I'll say Danny, but I don't want to forget anything.
5. Do you have a lucky charm?
I have a four-leaf clover keychain that I consider lucky. It will probably always be on my keyring. I've always had a strange love of four-leaf clovers. They feel magical to me.
