#goodwhenhappy

Back in the earlier days of viral videos, this one stood on a pedestal. DJ Steve Porter has gone onto internet fame and I am pretty sure that he has even made some good money creating these remixes. 

Why its good “when happy?”

Infomercials are good when happy, so are remixes...so remixes of infomercials are the beez kneez. What’s even better? When clips of Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo are spliced in for no apparent reason. And yes, Breakin 2 is also great “when happy.”

Heck as long as we are in re-mix infomercial world, lets show another oldie but goodie.  

And for good measure in remix land as long as we are already shouting out to DJ Steve Porter, let’s not forget his sports remix featuring Allen Iverson and some coaching greats...

Drunk History: Season 1, Episode 5: San Francisco

We don't generally rank things here on "When Happy" but if we did, this is one show that would continually rise to the top. Drunk History is good for multiple viewings the more Happy you are, the more likely you will be to look forward to jokes that you have missed the first time around. 

It isn't easy to pick an individual episode, but because we try to do that stuff here, we thought we'd go with San Francisco...

Oh wait, if you don't know what Drunk History is, we will sum it up for you:

It is stories of American History told by extremely passionate and completely inebriated people. These stories are then acted out by famous actors that you will recognize from other shows.

In the case of the "San Francisco" episode, you will be treated to three amazing stories, starring Lisa Bonet, Stevie from Eastbound and Down and Kristen Wiig. Stevie, playing the "rabble-rouser" Mark Twain is the best (as long as we are ranking things)

Why it's great when happy: 

Seeing drunk people when you are "happy" tell stories is always fun

Derek Waters, the show's creator, makes an appearance in every episode both as himself and as someone else

These are stories that you know, that you will then think you know better, that you will then forget and probably tell it like you know at some point in your future.

Overall we are just in awe of how a show like this was even conceived much less pulled off with such perfection

This one gets a 5 out of 5 brownie rating! 

If you have Amazon Prime, you can view this episode here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HOJ42GI/ref=dv_dp_ep5

If you don't have Prime, you are gonna have to watch some other episodes that Comedy Central offers. Baltimore is linked here: http://on.cc.com/1tQgAmo

LiL' DEBBiE & RiFF RAFF: Michelle Obama

When I first saw this over two years ago I wasn't sure if it was real or a joke. I am still not sure. The only thing I am sure of is that it is awesome. Nothing better than a song that you can sing along with before it is over. Nothing better than a tiny white girl with gold teeth in a video that is high budget for some, but low budget for others. 

I genuinely like the song and the artists. I am not playing at all. I don't think it will go down in history as an amazing work of art, but it might go down as one of my most watched YouTube videos of all time. 

Presidential tint, Michelle Obama Presidential tint, Michelle Obama Presidential tint, Michelle Obama Frozen femurs in the freezer, Jeffrey Dahmer

That's the hook...if you want to learn more, you can always go to Rap Genius to see the real genius behind the song.

Why its good "when happy" 

Pretty much anything that RiFF RAFF does is good "when happy." He has the tool and the talent to poke fun at the entire rap game, while still being a major part of it himself. Lil Debbie's lyrics are simple and fun. The whole thing is just a ridiculous look at what hip-hop can be, was and is.
