      I didn't see your comment at first. I said she was trying to blink herself into another dimension. People can do some strange stuff when they get upset, happy, or whenever emotions come into play. I gave a boss a look once that said he was nothing but pesky shit under my foot and he got the message. I didn't even say a word and he fired my ass. When I sent the facial expression his way I knew I fired myself. Facial expressions are powerful.

      I don’t think it’s an “old” thing I mean there is still plenty of good stuff like this nowadays although nowadays most of it is individuals on UA-cam as opposed to actual tv shows
      But even like impractical jokers or whatever that show is called has a lot of the same concepts and humor just using various simple concepts.
      I’ve seen other ones too that are good too even if they’re more complex like the ones that involve magic tricks and stuff. Even though it uses technology I don’t think that that makes it any worse

      I have seen such a 180 degree change in society, a little bit here, and a little there. There was a noticeable change after The Bible/Prayer was taken out of schools, same with Kennedy being assassinated and Vietnam escalating. The 1960s started out decent, yet changed a huge amount in less than a decade. Took a while to get to the mess we are in now. Still, one lifetime! I would like to set a time machine for about 1962 or prior. Just my personal choice!

    I would have loved to have seen this performed in either the deep south or in Detroit. Nonetheless, great skit!

    I would like to change MY name.
    I have a very common name, too. It's a lot of hassle because there are two other guys with the same names on the Immigration hold departure order list . One of them is wanted for rape, the other one for estafa.
    Everytime I travel abroad it's so difficult because the Immigration authorities have to verify that it's not me that's wanted for those crimes.
    Yes. I'm from the Philippines.
