Adele’s Someone Like You SNL Skit
I don’t like slapstick or gross humour, but I do love a good parody. [youtube]QJuSCPxTUvo[/youtube] The funniest bit for me is Andy Samberg’s expression and Coldplay.

Singapore Presidential Candidates get Auto-tuned
Silly, but too funny not to share to take a break from the seriousness of the Presidential Elections. I thought Tony Tan’s voice got the most melodic treatment.

This is 3 months old, but I just watched it and it’s hilarious. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPLWKBWkn3s] Not very absurd if you watch the actual thing.

The Sexist Interview: Young Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren was extremely poised, intelligent and witty, even then. It’s a fascinating interview, although sexist in some bits. I agree that school can be oppressive with all it’s rules and lack of liberty. At least in Singapore and in … Continue reading
