Zarif: the 10 funniest things I have ever seen (on the internet)
Briefly

A curated collection of comedy videos emerged from extensive archive searching, cross-referencing, and expert consultation. An investigative, almost theatrical preparation accompanied the selection process, including a room arranged like a mystery and deliberate viewing rituals. Meditation, sound bowls, and repeated Kristen Wiig SNL viewings helped determine which clips altered mood toward joy. Humor is framed as deeply personal, and selections reflect years of shared amusement and quotable moments. Featured entries include a provocative Cole Escola performance, a Golden Girls full remix in a soul version, and a memorable Saturday Night Live sketch with Liza Minnelli.
Publishing this list is like giving you an X-ray examination into my funny bone, the area that harbours all of my dumbest, stoopidest and most insincere thoughts. I got a case of dumb-dumb-itis; it's bad doc, real bad! Please do not take this examination lightly. I had to do a lot of archive searching and cross-referencing; I sought counsel from gurus and masters in the field. I dove deep.
My room looked like a murder mystery of red string and pins, low light and a cream Burberry trench with some Loewe spectacles adorning the peak of my nose just so I could be ready. My goal was to make you laugh but after many meditations, sound bowls and endless Kristen Wiig SNL videos, I realised that the beauty of humour is that it is so personal, so my approach was thus: to find content that altered my mind's chemistry and geared it toward joy.
Cole Escola: Serial Killer Documentary Takes Horrible Turn This piece of cinema speaks for itself: nuance, dedication to role and craft. A true artist and provocateur of our generation but something about that just doesn't sit right with me. Cole's performance is arresting and I find myself quoting this in the kitchen in the dead of night sometimes with no one around. Cole is a true harbinger, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. We MUST stay vigilant.
