Humor

The hottest toy of 1998 was sort of adorable, and sort of annoying. It couldn't do much - couldn't do anything, really - but it could look at you, it could say some nonsense phrases, and it seemed uncannily aware of the world around it. That's all Furby needed to pretty much take over the world.

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Impatience. I'm not very good at waiting around or dealing with things that aren't moving at a pace that I want them to. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Superiority. I shrink when I'm around people who act superior, whether it's due to authority or intellect.

When you gaze the greatest, we're not just talking about lyrics, we're talking about impact as well. There's only so many rappers that could write something hyperlyrical and then also come write 'California Love,' and 'Toss It Up,' and then go back and write 'Dear Mama' and 'Changes,' and then come back and write '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.'

Conan O'Brien is a singular and outstanding American humorist. His work, deeply rooted in close listening and keen observation, creates joyful connections between and among ideas and people. I look forward to sharing the stage with him in Tercentenary Theatre later this year. Harvard is tremendously fortunate to call him one of our own.

A woman's relationship with Trader Joe's is abstract. It's like the way women see Trader Joe's, it's the way the aliens from 'Arrival' view time. Unlike most men—who make a beeline straight for the same blue-corn tortilla chips that have been there since pre-Obama—women swan dreamily through the store, guided by their foremothers toward the strangest possible products.

It was the only ticket available at such short notice," he told Business Insider. He joked that, if his sibling were going to pass, he could at least have waited until he wasn't packed like a sardine. It would have been more thoughtful of him, Fredericks said, if he hadn't learned of the tragedy while sandwiched "in 37B" between two strangers.

The lyrics have a rather annoying quality to them, similar to the way that other songs like "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, "Fireflies" by Owl City or even "Friday" by Rebecca Black did in their time - songs that gained rapid popularity and, just as quickly, sparked rapid backlash from many due to overexposure to them.

This is not acceptable. Mocking a disability is never acceptable. It would not be tolerated for any other condition, and it should not be tolerated by people with Tourette's.

According to my mum, my first word was look. My brother arrived 17 months after I was born, so most days Mum would have been pushing us around in a buggy, and I would be pointing at everything going, Look, look, look. What I was really saying was, Everyone, I'm here!

'Gen Z's relationship with language is incredibly fast-moving. Unlike previous generations, they are growing up in a digital environment where new words can emerge, become popular or "cringe" within a matter of months...or even weeks! Platforms like Instagram or TikTok definitely accelerate this cycle: a phrase might start as a joke or trend within a niche community, go viral globally, and then quickly become overused.'

We know mornings can be hectic But your child shouldn't be the only one in the cafeteria with a beverage that requires an ID. Quick Parent Checklist: Homework, Lunch packed, Alcoholic beverages. If it says 12% ABV it does NOT belong next to a PB&J.

Anyone who spends untold hours surfing the Web for humorous content will eventually find the work of one Vladimir Shmondenko, a prankster who goes by the name Anatoly. He's developed a faithful following, and, as far as I can tell, makes a comfortable living entirely from his TikTok and YouTube videos.

No one could accuse Fleming of tailoring his act to please a conventional audience. His stage attire lies somewhere between "androgynous hipster" and "clown," and his only criteria for a premise appears to be "What does my brain fixate on?" He expects his audience to keep up with any cultural reference his Massachusetts-born, millennial, Skidmore arts-graduate brain might make without ever stopping to explain what, say, "Gatsby-esque" might mean in the context of Bitmoji.

The cardboard beds came back for the 2024 Olympics. But the question as to whether they were purposefully built for anti-sex purposes lingered - some athletes like Tom Daley debunked just how flimsy they were by jumping on it. This evolved into a debate, with other people pointing out that one person jumping on a bed is a whole lot different than two people having sex.
