This week in “Thanks, Internet” — Old ladies whip it, the sleepiest skier, and the best/worst brothers in the worldwin the internet this week.
When life gives you a really annoying dying car alarm, turn it into a remix. When the internet loves it, make an extended version.
This is perhaps the most elaborate practical joke I have ever seen. Two brothers go to extreme lengths to convince their sister, still high on drugs from having her wisdom teeth removed, that theyare in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Her mouth full of gauze, strapped into the front seat, Millicent, god bless her, proves that she’s kind of the best. “We have guns, why are you putting garden equipment in the car?” She makes an excellentpoint. Andwhen she’s asked to make the ultimate Sophie’s Choice between the cat and the dog, she, without even a moment of hesitation, screams “The CAT, you idiot!” You’ve got to respect a woman who can make her mind up so quickly.
Oh, the happy little trees. This dog is a far better landscape painter than most of us. Bob Ross would be proud.
This kid asleep on his skis is all of us at the end of a long week.
These old ladies whipping and nae nae-ing make me believe that life is worth living. Now go grab your best friend and bust a move.
