Tim Hawkins revealed the lightbulb moment that changed his outlook on comedy. The popular Christian comedian said one simple, straightforward piece of advice completely changed his approach to comedy. Watch the short clip to hear Tim say what caused him to view comedy in a completely different way. Many people aspire to careers in comedy, especially stand-up comedy. Unfortunately, out of the many who have this as their goal, only a fraction are able to do it. Of course, thats because there are only so many stages and audiences willing to shell out good, hard-earned money, and too many aspiring comedians. Thats why, in order to get noticed and develop a fanbase, comedians must have a unique point of view. Naturally, from this point of view and how they look at the world, their comedy will come. Also, hopefully, their comedy and jokes are relatable, which goes a long way with audiences, too. In a clip posted on social media, Tim, during a discussion with fellow comedian Yakov Smirnoff, shared the piece of advice which helped him immensely. It changed how he wrote, looked at and approached comedy. One of the truths about comedy is when you first start, youre trying to write funny, Tim said. And thats a mistake. The thing is, you write passion. That changed my whole thing. You write what youre passionate about. What are you angry about? What frustrates you? What are you happy about? What do you love? Thats simple but truly excellent advice. It resembles the popular old saying, Write what you know. If something angers you or makes you happy, the writing and the comedy will feel more authentic, and odds are that others will feel similarly, and people will connect and relate to that. Later in the clip, Tim revealed where and from whom he received this simple but powerful advice, which helped change his comedy career. James 1:5 But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

Comedian Jeremy Nunes explains.

A dad never saw this hilarious zinger coming from his daughter. Her comment was cutting, unexpected and laugh-out-loud funny, especially from someone that young. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear the father recall the entire incident and share what his daughter said to him. Children are some of the most open and honest people you will ever encounter. They will tell you what they think regardless of how someone may take it or who they might offend. Most children have not yet developed the filter that keeps their every thought from escaping their mouths. So, if you cannot handle blunt comments and assessments, parenthood may not be for you. Also, as it turns out, children can be pretty funny. Some of them have the ability to deliver perfectly-timed, sharp and cutting remarks that will either have you laughing or upset because they hit a nerve, particularly if their comment was directed at you as the parent. In a clip posted on YouTube, one father recalled a situation in which he was talking with his three children when one of them decided to lob an unexpected zinger at their dad. As the father states, three of his four children were playing a game they liked to play before bed, which they called If You Found Treasure. Basically, as the father explains, the children mention whatever they would ask for if they found treasure capable of granting their wishes. Right before it was the fathers turn to say what he would ask for if he found treasure, he pointed out that he believed they meant a magic, wish-granting lamp and not buried treasure. This was the wrong thing to say because his 7-year-old daughter apparently did not particularly care for her father's critique of their game. She looks at me, and she goes, 'I feel like you'd wish for more hair,' the father recalls his daughter saying to him. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

This is another sample clip.

A grandmother cannot believe she is 90 years old, and her response to her age is hysterical. When the elderly woman was informed of her age, she reacted in the best and most hilarious way possible. Watch the short but uproarious clip to see how the grandmother responded when she was made aware of her advanced age. No one enjoys getting older, but its an inevitability. Its going to happen. You and I can do nothing to stop or even slow down the aging process. Doing so would require the stoppage or reversal of time, and unless you know something I dont, that is not quite possible yet. Understanding how aging will happen with or without our approval, we might as well accept it. Attempting to fight it by spending good, hard-earned money on so-called anti-aging products is a little ridiculous, right? Birthdays come around every year, whether we acknowledge them or not. A hilarious clip posted on social media shows one woman who is thrilled with how she looks for her age. The short, 37-second clip begins with an elderly woman being asked how old she believes she is. The woman answers that she is 60 years old. However, the woman is quickly informed that her answer is incorrect. She is off by three decades. The woman in the clip is actually 90 years old. This information comes as a total shock to her. She asked several times if the number she heard was correct, and every time the answer was the same: 90. Seconds later, after the initial shock, the grandmother accepts that she is 90. She then makes a statement that no one saw coming, one that will surely have you doubled over with laughter. Well, I look pretty good for 90, she says. Everyone in the room immediately bursts out laughing at the grandmothers hysterical response. Proverbs 16:31 The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.

Several stars from The Carol Burnett Show revisited the skits that had everyone in stitches. They recalled their time on the beloved television program and shared stories about some of those hysterical, iconic skits that had the studio audience and often the cast bursting into laughter. Watch the clip to hear about one of the funniest television shows of all time from its cast and crew. It's often said that comedy is more challenging to do than drama. There are a lot more dramatic actors than there are stand-up comedians. Of course, that's because everyone has a different sense of humor. What I find funny may not tickle your funny bone, and vice versa. However, those differences do not apply to The Carol Burnett Show. Anyone who watches one of the program's legendary skits will likely be doubled over in laughter. Amazingly, a skit from The Carol Burnett Show will have you laughing from the beginning to the end. And it did so without the use of language and vulgarity. It was all because of its hysterical, top-of-the-line writing and the legendary cast. In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and others reflect on the show, sharing memories of their time working together and why they believe made the show so great. They also mention those memorable crack-ups during skits and how and why Tim was so often able to make those around him break character. None of us knew what Tim was going to do, Carol said. So, he would wind up doing some shtick that had never been done in rehearsal before or on the previous show. And inevitably, the sketch would run, maybe four minutes long, you know, over. And so, what we would do would be to cut down on something else or save another sketch for another week because what Tim would come up with was gold. Later in the clip, the iconic dentist skit, in which Tim is a nervous, first-time dentist preparing to work on his patient, played by Harvey Korman. It's revealed that Tim came up with the Novocain bit on the spot. The Carol Burnett Show is a program that continues to keep audiences rolling with laughter. It will always be funny watching Harvey and the rest of the cast struggle to keep it together while Tim or someone else does something crazy and off-the-wall. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

One woman hilariously demonstrated how social media is not real life. She quickly showed that what people often see on popular social media platforms is frequently faked and not exactly true to life. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what the woman did and said, which will have you second-guessing most of what you see on social media. Social media is a constant and pervasive presence in our daily lives. Thanks to the invention of smartphones, people are perpetually on social media. Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and other popular social media platforms consume huge chunks of our time, with everyone on their phone checking their newsfeed continually. However, in a clip posted on YouTube, one woman hilariously showed how likely what youre seeing, especially from social media influencers, is more often than not fake. Whats captured on camera and then posted on social media for all to like, click and share does not tell the entire story. She specifically mentions videos that show people quickly cleaning up their rooms. She says that despite what those videos may show, no one enjoys cleaning. You know what I just realized? she says. No one on social media actually likes cleaning. I was just about to film and the bed was a mess, so I was like, Let me make it real quick. We just like the appearance of being clean. She then turns the camera around and shows viewers her less-than-tidy room, which she states is her life, 24/7, all the time. Seconds later, she moves a few items out of the cameras view, giving the appearance of having a neat room. Social media isnt real, she says. Thanks to lighting, camera angles and editing, social media is full of deceptive videos that do not tell the entire story. 1 John 4:1 My loved ones, do not put your faith in every spirit, but put them to the test, to see if they are from God: because a great number of false prophets have gone out into the world.

Steve Carell delivered laughs and dance moves during an unforgettable commencement speech. The actor spoke at Northwestern Universitys graduation, and its an address that those students and faculty members will likely never forget. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear what The Office star said and to see him bust a move. Graduation for every student, whether from high school or college, is a mammoth milestone that deserves to be recognized and celebrated. A graduation ceremony is a time-honored tradition to do just that, where those graduating are lauded for their educational accomplishment and receive words of wisdom and encouragement for their futures. Regarding graduation, colleges and universities often invite recognizable people to address the graduates. Presidents, both current and past, and high-ranking members of the military are always popular selections. However, for their most recent graduation ceremony, Northwestern University went a decidedly different route for their speaker: actor and comedian Steve Carell. In the clip posted on YouTube, Steve Carell, best known for playing the lovable yet clueless boss of Scrantons Dunder Mifflin branch, Michael Scott, delivers a laugh-out-loud funny address and even shows off some fancy footwork. Steve delivered this hilarious line as he mentioned the theme of his address and what he wanted to talk to the graduates about. Today, Id like to talk about something quite simple, something that is important to me and something that I believe we need more of in the world, he said. My topic this morning is kindness. So, please just shut up and listen. Later in the clip, Steve hilariously shared how he exemplifies kindness. I understand the importance of kindness, he said. I am kind, or at least that seems to be a common misconception about me. The clip also showed Steve dancing on stage, high-fiving and dancing with the most recent Northwestern University graduates. Psalm 149:3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

An elderly man interacts with Alexa for the first time, and the laughs are nonstop. His conversation with Amazons popular piece of artificial intelligence will have you doubled over with laughter and struggling to catch your breath. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see and hear the older gentleman converse with Amazons Alexa. Artificial intelligence is growing and expanding rapidly, and it is likely only to increase with time. While some are championing and cheerleading about AIs growing role in our world, others are urging a more cautious approach. Regardless of your opinion on artificial intelligence, its growing and will continue to impact our world dramatically. One of the most popular versions of artificial intelligence is Amazons Alexa. Its been widely available for years, and more than likely, everyone has encountered one of these devices at one time or another. A clip posted on YouTube captured an elderly mans first conversation with Alexa and the hilarious way that went. The video begins with the 80-year-old man asking someone behind the camera whether he can ask Alexa something. He cautiously approaches the device, and after several seconds, the machine responds to him. He then asks about the nutritional value of sausage and pepperoni pizzas. He wants to know if they are good for you or not. In response to his question, Alexa states that sausage has now been added to his shopping list. This was not what he wanted at all, and he reacted incredulously. I didnt say that! he says. Eventually, the man and Alexa get his shopping list cleared. Once she confirms that she has done this, he sweetly answers, Thank you. Alexas retort blows his mind, leaving his mouth hanging open. Anytime. Literally, the device says. She said literally! Literally! What is this? he asks. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

She starred in both, but can she pass the quiz? Patricia Heaton faces The Everybody Loves Raymond vs The Middle test. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what the actress remembers and doesnt about her two iconic programs. Its the dream of most actors and actresses to have one memorable role in their career. Unfortunately, the entertainment business is a highly competitive, cutthroat industry, and those roles arent just handed out like candy. It can take years of working in television and movies to appear in a moderately well-made program. Many arent even that lucky. Patricia Heaton is one of the few actresses who has defied the odds. She was a main character in not one but two truly iconic and beloved television shows: Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle. Of course, in Everybody Loves Raymond, Patricia played Debra Barone the long-suffering wife locked in a constant, never-ending battle with her mother-in-law. On The Middle, Patricia is Frankie Heck, the matriarch of the Heck family, who is always scrambling, scratching and clawing to make it through another day. In a clip posted on YouTube, Patricia is asked a series of questions about both shows to find out how much she remembers about them. You may also recognize the two individuals asking the questions. Eden Sher and Brock Ciarelli both appeared on The Middle. Eden played the middle child and eternal optimist, Sue Heck, while Brock played Sues best friend, Brad. Patricia is seated as Eden and Brock stand behind her and describe random episodes. Based on those detailed descriptions, they then ask the actress whether she believes it was an Everybody Loves Raymond or a The Middle episode. Things start off well, but it goes downhill quickly. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

This fathers take on life with kids will have you laughing out loud. There are moments in parenting that test a mans character. Real, soul-searching, what-am-I-even-doing-here kind of moments. Like when you step on a rogue Cheerio barefoot at 6 a.m. and just keep walking because you're numb to the pain now. Or when your toddler stages a full-blown revolution against pants, and the babys wailing because someone looked at her bunny wrong. If you havent seen Dillon Whites latest TikTok video, do yourself a favor and go watch it. Pause your laundry, sip your lukewarm coffee, and prepare to laugh until you cry. This dad, whos known online as @dadchats, is not just a lawyer and screenwriterhes a modern-day philosopher of parenting chaos. In his latest post, titled Small Talk Once You Become a Parent of Multiple Kids will leave you laughing as he lets us into the hilarious trenches of fatherhood with a story thats equal parts IKEA meltdown and Disney-level imagination. It starts with him building an IKEA bench. Easy, right? Six and a half hours later, he's emotionally fragile, questioning his worth as a man, and halfway convinced theres a piece missing. Spoiler: there isnt. But what is missing? Sanity. The instructions made no sense, the Allen wrench might be cursed, and the bench well doesnt look like the picture. So naturally, his family named it Sven. Because if it took almost a full workday to assemble and still leans a little to the left, it deserves a name and a little dignity. Heres the kicker: now his kids feed the bench carrots, while singing Reindeers are better than people. Then Dillon pivots like a comedy ninja and starts listing all the shows he and his family are binge-watching. Spoiler: No adult content in sight. When someone asks if he saw the game, Dillon launches into a description of Chutes and Ladders. Yes, the board game, not adult sports like football or basketball. This man is not watching the playoffs. Hes surviving preschool play-by-play with a side of snack negotiations. Meanwhile, his poor wife is still stuck on Season 6 of Greys Anatomynot because she doesnt want to finish, but because their TV has been hijacked by pint-sized tyrants who rule the remote. Dillions Humor is the kind of funny that hits you right between your tired eyes and makes you laugh because you've lived it too. He doesnt glamorize parenthood. He invites you into the chaos, names the bench, and hands you a carrot. Because thats what we do in this seasonwe survive on grace, giggles, and a good sense of humor. And Sven? Sven is a crooked reminder that love doesnt always look like the picture but its real, and its ours. Even in the mess, even when the bench is wobbly and the kids are wildtheres laughter. Theres love. Theres God right in the middle of it all, holding it together better than any Allen wrench ever could. Go find Dillons video on TikTok and give him a followyou wont regret it. But maybe hide your Allen wrenches first, just in case. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

A reporters on-air mistake turns into a laugh-out-loud moment. While live on air, the woman erroneously thought she was speaking into her microphone, but that was not the case. Watch the short but hilarious clip to see what the reporter momentarily thought was her microphone. Human beings are in no way perfect; far from it. Perfection is not something that anyone will ever be able to reach. We all stumble and fall and have flaws, imperfections and blemishes. While Jesus Christ set an example for all of us to follow and strive for, we will still fall far short. When television is live, anything can happen, including mistakes and blunders. A clip posted on social media shows a reporter mistakenly using a turkey leg as her microphone. The young woman even momentarily speaks into the turkey leg. But seconds later, she realizes what shes done and quickly grabs her microphone to finish her report. However, she didnt get rattled, was able to brush it off and even laughed at herself. She finished her live report as if nothing had happened, a mark of a true professional. In addition to the reporter, the anchors back at the studio also had a good laugh at her turkey leg microphone. One of them could even be heard telling the woman reporting from the Maryland state fairgrounds to speak into the corndog. Mistakes happen, and we all make them. We don't become perfect even after asking for forgiveness and accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior. We are still human and prone to making mistakes. Thats why Christs grace and mercy are so powerful and amazing. Without them, none of us would have a chance. Even when we stumble and fall, He is quick and faithful to forgive. 1 John 1:9 If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

This man and his relationship with a camel are comedy gold. These two unlikely buddies have a close and absolutely hilarious relationship. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear how this man ended up owning and bonding with a camel. Everyone loves animals. How could you not love and adore those cute, furry, four-legged creatures? Even people who are not currently pet owners still have a soft spot for those critters. We all know we have to keep a close eye on those individuals who say they hate or have an extreme dislike for the members of the animal community. When people state how much they love and adore animals and enjoy having pets, they typically mean dogs and cats. Whether youre more of a dog or a cat person, canines and felines make fine pets. You cant go wrong with either of them. However, a camel is one creature most people have almost never considered keeping as a pet. A clip posted on YouTube shows the unique and hilarious relationship one man, Alex, has with Albert, his pet camel. As the video shows, the two are the closest of friends, with Albert always trying to make himself right at home, walking right into the house. Alex explains that he rescued Albert from an animal farm and admits they became fast friends, having an almost instantaneous connection. Hes attached to me at the hip, Alex said. He just loves to follow me. Running back and forth with me in the tractor. In the video, Alex states that when Albert was younger, he would bottle-feed him up to 10 times a day. During the few moments when Alex would momentarily leave Albert pinned up in an area, the camel would scream and yell for Alex. Even though Albert may be an unconventional pet, and make for some hilariously awkward situations, like when he walks into his house unexpectedly, Alex would have things no other way. I couldnt imagine life without him, Alex said. Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Tim Conway refused the king and queen entry into the palace in a hilarious skit. He took his job guarding the royal palace very seriously, to the point where not even the king and queen could get past him. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see Tim keep the palace safe, even from the king and queen. Having a job and being gainfully employed is a blessing. Many people would vigorously argue whether that statement is true, but for most of the population, having a job is necessary. Unless you were born into an obscenely wealthy family, holding down a 9-to-5 is how everyone financially supports themselves and their families. Most people blessed with a job would very much like to remain employed for as long as possible. Losing a job is one of the most stressful and devastating situations someone can experience. One of the best ways to remain employed is to take the position weve been given seriously. In a clip posted on social media, that is precisely what Tim Conway, who plays a palace guard in a classic Carol Burnett Show skit, does. In fact, he may even take his duties too seriously. He hilariously refuses to allow the king (played by Harvey Korman) and queen (played by Carol Burnett) entry into their palace. They fail to provide the correct password, which will not cut it for Tim, and beyond the palace gates, they remain. Despite being completely flabbergasted and outraged at Tims refusal to let them in, the royal couple believe they may have found a way in. They essentially try to bribe Tim, offering him whatever he wants. However, they and no one else saw Tims demand coming. He would like a popsicle, but not just any popsicle. He would like a buffalo popsicle. I'm not sure how no one broke character and started laughing, but very early in the skit, after he approaches Tim, Harvey appears to be on the verge of doing so. Job 8:21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Once you lift your hands you can never go back 😂

I will keep this red flag 😂🚩
