I like to think I have a highly evolved and mature sense of humor, but then I watch a video of an old lady getting hit in the face, and all delusions of sophistication dissolve in a fit of involuntary laughter. The backstory is that I came home from dinner last night, and when I turned on the TV, NBC was playing some dumb blooper special. I didn't even know what it was. All I saw was this woman on my screen giving a speech when suddenly the dreaded (read: hi-larious) accident occurred. Seriously, my friend and I watched this moment over and over again about fifty times, and somehow, it just got funnier. I really hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Ok, you got me with the slo-mo version. That was too funny. She really needs to learn to take a punch better than that.
That was so funny. The lady who moved the mike was probably her daughter-in-law, and had wanted to do that for a very long time.
The sound effects in slo-mo were great!
oh that was great. Great Great Great
in slo-mo it's clear she barely got tapped! I love overreactors :)
To funny! Looked like the lady did it on purpose
This may come as a suprise to you, but little boys love this clip. Shocking, I know. Hilarity indeed ensued at our house. Here are the quotes from the Lizardspawn "She sounds like an orc!" "It made me fart!" "Can you please bookmark that?"
I can't decide which is funnier. The lady getting hit (more like a slight tap) or the facial expressions of the woman hitting her.
Oh I know! The assailant looks D-lighted. She's almost like a Miss America type, note to self - Never stop smiling, no matter how inappropriate. I'm picturing the box for this when it comes out on DVD or is advertised in the paper. "I laughed, I cried" "I liked it better than CATS." "It made me fart!"
The woman hitting her looks like she's never been more proud of herself in her life. Look at her expression when she looks out at the audience! It's like "I did this, none of YOU did this... I did this!!"
my life was meaningless before I saw this clip.
all my friends love it too....I'm cracking up now just thinking about it!!!!
The assailant is actually the victims daughter. She was adjusting the mic because nobody could hear her speaking.
