I don’t know if anyone else can crack themselves up the way I can. Personally, all I have to do is sing C is for Cookie. I can do this quietly, sotto voce, and I’m a goner. I keel over with the giggles. Out loud is just about devastating.
My Cookie Monster imitiation is very good. I can’t do many imitations: I got Cookie, Ernie, and Marvin the Martian, and that’s it. But my Cookie kicks some serious Muppet ass.
Anyway, I crack me up.
Also, I like doing coffee riffs. I’ve been coffee-seeking in my Cookie voice for like twenty years. “Coffee. Me. Wants. Coffee.” Okay, you kinda have to be there. So Friday I was singing C is for Coffee (that’s good enough for me OH! Coffee coffee coffee starts with C). Cracked myself up. Also I was doing the Flying Lizards (I want coffee! Oooh. Ooh ooh. That’s what I want. Ooh.)
In the past, I had a distinct fondness for Bow Wow Wow (I want coffee!). I didn’t actually do this one Friday, I didn’t even think of it until I started writing, but anyway, it’s in the repetoire.
Now, my ex thought I was perhaps too easily amused and used to make fun of me for cracking myself up.
So I will throw this open to the masses. How do you crack yourself up? Or, am I just weird?
I crack myself up by singing “putting on the Ritz” like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstien
The C is for Cookie song makes me think back…Mike & Mike (they were a couple a few years back, since broken up) & my husband & I were at our friend Jan’s house.
Her dog, Tristan Patrick, came in with her after a walk & she asked him if he wanted a cookie. I have NO IDEA why, but Mike & Mike & I all launched into the “C is for Cookie” song. Sang the whole thing. Tristan looked back and forth at the crazy humans who kept saying “COOKIE”…and when we were done, Jan asked us where the heck that came from. She’d never heard the song.
Now, how do I make myself laugh? Here’s my resent form of self amusement.
Check this video compliation out. i “imitate” the very last cat…the one with the captions. Both my husband & I will start doing it to one another.

Another thing that makes me laugh is when my zebra finch sort of “EEE” when I say something a certain way & I have to try REALLY hard to get the “last word” in..;)
Okay, Putting on the Ritz and talking cats are both VERY funny.
I loved this one! Thanks for making me laugh! I needed it.

I actually like to sing “I did it all for the Cookie” in the Cookie Monster voice, to the tune of I Did it All for the Nookie, by Limp Bizkit. It’s hilarious.
Y’know, I don’t even know the Limp Bizkit song, and I can totally tell it’s hilarious!
