I have recently learned that I am a simple person.
A few months ago, I was feeling super down. So what did I do? I hopped onto Reddit, specifically the /r/JeffArcuri subreddit. I watched a few videos and immediately felt better.
Jeff is a comedian who suddenly blew up on Reddit. He does fantastic crowd work and I really like his stuff. I'm not really a stand-up comedy person so it was a surprise. What I really like about Jeff is that he feels like a genuine guy. He kinda just says whatever comes to his mind and it's always funny. What I like about his kind of funny is that rarely is it ever just making fun of a person. He tries to be respectful and sometimes, his awkwardness in trying to be respectful is even the punchline. He's just so good!
After signing off at work today, I felt ready to fall asleep. I debated taking a nap but decided against it because naps always turn into an all day thing for me. I couldn't risk it because I had an assignment due that day. With my eyes drooping and my mind feeling fuzzy, I opened up my laptop to get start some school work. Turns out that I left my browser on the Jeff Arcuri subreddit. I refreshed the page and saw that Jeff had posted a clip just 5 hours earlier. It was only 3 minutes long, so I obviously watched it instead of immediately working on my assignment.
As soon as the first laugh escaped me, I didn't feel tired anymore. My mind instantly cleared up. I was astounded. It sounds crazy but I swear this is what happened.
So, it seems like in most situations, a good comedy clip is enough to perk me up. Feeling sad? Jeff Arcuri. About to fall asleep when I really should be working? Jeff Arcuri. Just need a good laugh out of me to get going.
