Day three of Inspiration Week is all about my favorite funnymen!

These particular guys have a way of inspiring not only a ton of laughs but a new way of looking at mundane and ordinary circumstances around me  A persons ability to see and react to the humor in themselves and life is something that totally gets me going – and I love being able to laugh and say, “That is SO TRUE!” (like I did when I saw the clip above on the Dave Chappelle show).

I have had humor (and otherwise) crush on Jack Black for a number of years now.  Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you that I kind of turn into a different (WAY too giggly) person when he’s onscreen.  Funny thing: My mom is always telling me how she is praying for my future husband (thanks, mom) and last year she starting adding that she was praying for my “Christian Jack Black” (which are kind of two things you wouldn’t normally put in the same sentence…).  At any rate, I could fill this whole post with my favorite clips of Jacky – but thought I’d share one I actually found TODAY – that shows classic (what I love) Jack Black.

I was introduced to Mike last year by my co-worker and actually got to see his show in October for my birthday.  He still manages to make me laugh – without fail – every time I listen to this particular incident (that I’ve probably listened to about a hundred times).

I have to thank my friends Derek and Laurie for introducing me to “Sweat the Small Stuff” by Kevin James!  I knew that I liked him from the movie Hitch, but seriously, watching this show was about the funniest things I have ever watched – to the point where I couldn’t laugh anymore I was so exhausted.  I’ll never forget how hard my friend Paul laughed (and clapped…cause he does that) – it was AMAZING!

And of course I couldn’t forget to add a little something by my boys the Flight of the Conchords (and Murray!).  Their work is the perfect mixture of subtlety and silliness.

I don’t know if any of you are like me – the one often trying to make other people laugh – but it is so wonderful to find people who give me deep belly laughs and inspire to the kind of humor in life that I am always on the watch for. Thanks boys!
