F'd up Christmas movies

Smosh appears among top ten most popular YouTube accounts. A California comedy duo going on for some ten years. They're good. The article is about YouTube being twenty years old and having produced several millionaires. The list is everywhere online, even Wikipedia.


One of the schools I went to sticks out of the lot as the most fun school of all. It was not the best equipped, in fact, the classrooms were in a WWII Japanese barracks remade into larger rooms.  The teachers were from everywhere. Their interest in doing something with the American kids was tremendous. One of the 6th grade teachers who incidentally took us on a field trip to see King Tut exhibition also had us contrive skits and act them out in front of the class. A group of us realized the more skits we contrived the longer we could go on then the less classwork there would be for all of us to do, so everyone was for it. Most of our skits were just acting out stupid jokes. A lot of our material inspired by Mad magazine. Our stuff was dumb but the teacher, a hard-nose Japanese national who considered American kids absurd and wanted our English and our maths to be at the next level, also loved having us make up crap and acting it out. Making up kids comedy skits so the teacher wasn't entirely hard. That is what this video reminds me of.

Yeah. My kids and their cousins used to make spy movies around this level. That's where the PF rating came from (pretty funny). This doesn't quite reach that level because they're not adolescent relatives lol
