crotch shots and our evolution

I was excited to see a new Zach Galifianakis exclusive vid over on Funny or Die today, which turned out to be this:

Hmm…I probably would have enjoyed this more if a.) they removed the Seinfeld soundtrack and b.) the premise hadn’t already been perfected by the kickedinthenuts guys:


But the overwhelming point is this: hitting people in the crotch, for some innate reason, appeals to the masses with the utmost hilarity. Perhaps the sense of enjoyment hearkens back to some vestigial biological appreciation for an enemy sustaining damage to the essential reproductive organ, hence increasing the odds of successfully passing along your own genes on account of still having functioning testes. I bet the cavemen did it, not for the humor so much, but for survival. They reproduced, but our sense of humor has yet to evolve.

between two ferns

I often pop over to Funny or Die when in need of a quick laugh, and while there’s almost too much good stuff to peruse, my failsafe choice is anything with Zach Galifianakis. Case in point: “Between Two Ferns”. Everything about these short interview clips is bizarre and discomforting, and therefore, great. The two installments so far include Michael Cera and Jimmy Kimmel. Can’t wait for the next one.
