J: SUMMER LAUGHIN' (TOP 5 COMEDIANS)

After a very long day at work or finding work, it's really relaxing to have a very good laugh. It has been said that laughter is the best medicine, just look at laughter yoga! Laughter yoga really does exist and I bet it's one heck of a yoga class! But, if you want to have your own session of laughing trip at home, may I recommend these 5 comedians I always watch on youtube!

Warning: Don't watch videos at work, it may cause really shaky shoulders from stopping yourself to burst from laughter ;)

1. Matthew Perry

We all know him as Chandler Bing from "FRIENDS" but he has been having a lot of airtime on "The Ellen Show" recently and I really feel like falling off my chair the first time he did this very questionable joke about the man who has a peach for a head and then Ellen started a survey if the joke is funny or stupid, but funny. And then some other jokes followed and it's just funnier than the last one. I know this clip of a Matthew Perry joke that I will attach here may cause some kind of a confusion but I really find it hilarious, sound off in the comment box what you think, we would love to hear your comments ;) Meanwhile, ponder and enjoy this clip of Matthew Perry's latest joke on "The Ellen Show"

2. Gabriel Iglesias a.k.a Fluffy

This video is just one of the thousands videos on youtube by Fluffy and he's funny as hell! Especially, when he makes so many sound effects and different voices! He is HILARIOUS! He loves sharing stories about his friends, especially Martin, and their funny mishaps; may it be on their after-shows or on the road with cops. I find it really fascinating how an over speeding stopover can turn into a comedy scene with this guy! Just watch the clip and you'll see what I am talking about!

 

 

3. Jeff Dunham

Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist, he does stand-up comedy with character puppets like Peanut, Bubba J, Achmed the terrorist and more. I watched Jeff Dunham for the first time through bebi A, she really has this super power to find funny videos on youtube since we were in college. I just started looking for funny videos recently.

So, obviously, Jeff's approach to stand up comedy is something really new and unconventional because he's like bringing so many different characters in his shows and it's really incredible how my mind flows away from the fact that he's still the voice of these puppets and just laugh so hard when he starts arguing and talking with them! And, he really has skills because you can barely notice his mouth moving when it's already the puppet talking! He has skills and humor! And, he can give you a good hearty laugh whatever kind of day you're having ;)

 

 

4. Noel Fielding

I have been into watching British comedy shows recently like "Never Mind the Buzzcocks"* and "The Graham Norton Show" and I just recently discovered the very funny Noel Fielding! I stumble to one of his videos while I was watching a clip of Russel Brand, they used to do shows together, so, like Russel Brand, he's also very charismatic in a sexy kind of way. He also has a weird sense of humor but that's just British humor, isn't it? He's really stylish as well! He has this charming and straightforward way of doing comedy, it's like he can say something really racist or whatever but he delivers it in a very sarcastic way, it becomes funny! He also does this very weird songs about just anything!

*I know this show is quite old. I don't even know if  is still on in UK, but it's a really fun show!

 

 

5. Kathy Griffin

 

I love Kathy Griffin and her foul mouth!! He takes on every issue that catches her attention, grabs the heart of the story and turn it into a comedy frenzy. She is crazy and fearless! I am, like, obsessing over her comedy specials. I really want to watch them all and listen to her dish about different celebrities, politicians and various prominent people. I love how she says things as it is, it's like she has no censorship and that's what makes her stories raw, real and very funny. Some might find her offensive and all but she's a comedian! She's getting paid to make fun of things and besides why take anything seriously that's off from a comedy special! Just watch her and laugh as she dishes out different issues in Hollywood and more! ;)

 

 

 

 

And, there goes my top 5 youtube comedians. Just remember to not take life too seriously! When the going gets tough, just have a good laugh and not worry about it a little and maybe after clearing everything out of our minds, we can find the solution to all our problems. ;)

 

 

And if I may share my favorite quote from Audrey Hepburn: "I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."

 

 

Having the ability to loosen up and laugh a little amidst adversaries is just straight up brave and wise!Just laugh it all off!

 

 

Spread the love, happiness and positivity!

A&J: 5 YouTube channels you don't want to miss out on!

If you know Achmed; the dead terrorist, Charlie; who bit his brother's finger, some "wins" and "fails" of different years, some bloopers from your favorite TV series, tutorials, and tons of parodies, then you probably visit Youtube as often as we do. We all know the site has a lot more other videos aside from the ones mentioned, included in those videos that some of you may also know are those Youtube sensations that are now singers with big hits. We know some of them aren't even talented, but what the heck, that's the power of Youtube!

We will always thank Youtube for saving us from those boring long trips to places, dull times at home, lousy shows on cable TV, and for entertaining us when there is no new interesting entry on Facebook or 9gag. We like going on Youtube to watch random videos, but we LOVE visiting video channels we are subscribed to and check out their latest video entries.

Today, we're going to share with you our top 5 favorite Youtube channels, and why we can't get enough of them!

Top 1 (Bebi J and bebi A's pick): ELLEN DEGENERES

Oh Ellen, Y U SO FUNNY? Haha! We are crazy about her! What's not to love about her? She's fun, she's hip, she's cool, and just the things she makes her writers and other staff do? Ugh! Such a cool boss! Ellen, if you can read this, please employ us! We will ride all the scary rides, eat gross-looking food, and do weird things! Or we can be two sexy foot rests if you're company is packed. :D -A

We also love how she engages with her audience, example, Ellen digs into some of her audience's facebook pages and makes her own story off of them! Haha! And, she really has some great staff because they always manage to find the coolest and cutest youtube videos! One of our favorites from Ellen are Sophia Grace and Rosie, they're just so cute adorable and very talented. We always watch out for them in Ellen's channel. We're also crazy for the different segments that she posts on her youtube channel like Know or Go, Just Kid Ink, Clumsy Thubsy, etc. And lastly, it's always very touching how generous and caring she is when she gives out life changing gifts to deserving people. -J

And just to show how fun Ellen's channel is, here's her latest video:

Top 2 (Bebi J's pick): PIXIWOO / GOSSMAKEUPARTIST

I am kinda cheating with this because Bebi A and i are supposed to have 2 YouTube channels each, because we already agreed who should be our top 1, Ellen! ;) But, I am just torn between these two. Both of these channels are the reasons why my mom is calling me a “makeup nazi” or a “makeup hoarder”! Haha! But honestly, everything I know now about makeup is because of them. And, I have to say I learned from (I think) the best makeup gurus there is in Youtube. They are both so nice and not alienating in any way, especially for beginners. They also give extensive product reviews to save anyone from wasting their money on products that are just not worth it! They also do not use any jargons that only makeup experts speak, and that makes them easy to understand. Just to show how helpful their tips are here are my favourite tutorials from both channels.

Pixiwoo: Is a youtube channel put up by two sisters that are passionate Makeup Artists, Sam and Nic Chapman. Sam already has her own makeup brush line, and I have almost all her brushes and I will complete them very soon ;)  

Gossmakeupartist: He is a male MUA named Wayne Goss and that intrigued me so much I had to watch his makeup tutorials! And they are all great and very practical. Wayne is very fearless when it comes to makeup reviews and does not yield even with bigwigs like “Chanel”! He’s one of the most honest makeup guru I've watched on Youtube! 

Top 3 (Bebi A's pick): JENNA MARBLES  

You think you know funny crazy? Think again.

My boyfriend was the one who introduced me to Jenna's video channel. One video was all it took for me to get really hooked to her channel. She posts really funny vidoes about random things, and that's what makes the channel really fun. You don't know what to expect. I personally love her video titled, "What Nicki Minaj looks for in a man".

 

Top 2 (Bebi J's pick): AngKikayKo by Teena Arches
 

Teena is a Filipina makeup guru and it was through her that I became aware of different local makeup brands. I owe it to her that now, I know Dollface, Shawill, and Ever Bilena (all local brands) have very good makeup products as well! It was also through her that I have come to know Pixiwoo. She is a very hyper makeup guru! I can’t help but laugh everytime I watch her videos. She also do really “Philippine weather-friendly” makeup tutorials! Haha! She also does some very funny vlogs! She is very spontaneous and I can totally relate to her because she is a body image warrior as well! She is a certified Plump Pinay and I am definitely one too. I came to know about Teena when she was featured in Plumpinay; another blog site here in the Philippines. She inspires me, and I bet tons more people, a lot, and let me tell you, she's even younger than me!!! I’ve also won some brush freebies from her giveaway, so extra love for her! :D

Here’s my favourite video from her channel. It's not a tutorial, it's more like a funny rant video:

Top 5 (Bebi A's pick):  BEBEXOXO

I have made it clear on our first joint entry that I am not someone who knows how to put makeup on. I leave the house with a dab of lipstick and lipgloss and with my brows done. I am loving the simple and very natural look, but given the chance, I'd like to be able to stay a little longer in front of the mirror and hold a brush and an eye shadow pallette and know what to do with them. And that is exactly one of the reasons why I love going to Bebexoxo's Youtube video channel.

The array of tutorials she has, from shaping your brows, to putting on blush, getting that smokey-eyed effect, and doing your hair are all amazing! And plus, she's really cute! Haha! I see her like a tiny (the courage for me to say she's tiny... like am over 5'3"! haha!) fairy who can grant you your three beauty wishes.

And, that completes our top 5 youtube channels, We hope you found some interesting stuff from this lineup of inspiring, funny, and witty bunch of ladies! And, if you have a favorite youtube channel that you want to share with everybody, please just leaave their links in the comment box and we'll check them out!

That is it for now and if we may borrow Ellen's favorite line; Be kind to one another, Bye! :)
