It is Monday again, and we have decided to begin a new hot working week with a good belly laugh. Today the main attraction of our attention will be men. We have already discussed the public oops video where the main roles were played mostly by women. But while the latter find quite easy solutions to the problem and behave as if nothing has happened, men are a bit the other way. On the other hand – men love the attention even in such silly moments, that’s why videos with them starring are sometimes way much funnier that videos with women who to cover up the accident quickly. Well, let’s watch!
Being a man is an art full of obstacles – and sweets are one of them. Who said that only women like chocolate and candies? Men are the real chocolate lovers, that’s for sure.
But the thing they like more than anything else is sports. Men can’t live without thinking about soccer, basketball, baseball, snooker etc. They probably deem that if they concentrate better on the broadcasted game their team will win. Nevertheless, while men gather to talk about sports, women get together to talk about men. Women remember everything while men don’t – that’s why some of the moments of the broadcasted sports event are usually repeated.
But still, almost all the men on earth are defenders and bread-winners, or at least, they try to be. They are working towards being strong, tough and businesslike, but in fact they are vulnerable, sensitive and funny.
Today more and more people go out on a blind date. Though some time ago the ‘pushing factors’ were friends and relatives who wanted two solitary souls they know to meet, today this role is usually performed by our PCs and dating sites. Fill in the form, post a couple of your best pictures, explore other users’ pages and decide whom you would like to meet in real life. Seems so easy, huh?
But in fact it isn’t. According to the famous House M.D. - everybody lies. That’s why such dates are called blind dates: you possess the minimum of information about the person. And even if you think that you do have some information because you saw his or her photos and chatted with him or her online – you may be as well mistaken. You’ll never know if those were real photos and the person that talked to you wasn’t her brother’s or his mum’s little prank. Also you’re always running the risk to be the only one to come to the meeting spot. Moreover, even if both sides manage to show up, one of them might not be satisfied by the sight. Just like in this TV commercial.
Oh, there’s one more minus of the blind dates. The guy (or the girl – but rarely) can be a complete jerk. Or a zombie. Or both.
Anyway a blind date can turn out to be great and pleasant. There is also a veil of unpredictability that makes it so special. By the way, there were cases that people who discovered that they came on a date with their long-forgotten first love, or with the neighbor they were actually having rows with, or with their boss – such unexpected cases are numerous. There are no doubts you will have memories of your blind dates with you forever. Unfortunately, even something like this.
Some people seem to be attracting all the bad luck. Giving stupid answers, behaving in a dumb way – whatever. And sometimes it’s not a simple public ‘oops’ that can happen to anyone, it looks like some human beings forget how to think rationally. Just like this criminal.

Of course, you may say that he was too nervous to notice the sign “pull” or to think and try pulling instead of hammering his body into the door, but in his case I would call it the dumbest preparation for the robbery. Funny, though. Reminds me of a related episode in the movie “Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels”.
Here comes another one. While the fist criminal was simply scared and blinded by the fear, this one was already born dumb. No more comments.
OK, enough crime, let’s skip to more intellectual dumbs. Looks like this one really wanted to be a millionaire. Thanks God he didn’t get through the first question. Just look at the impression on his face when he gets it wrong – love that moment, makes me feel important with my ‘B’ in Physics in my 8th grade (that was long ago).
Have you ever thought that dumbness is contagious? Like the swine flu… Well, let’s call it ‘dog flu’. Stay away!
Hm… Cat flu?
Though it’s a commercial, the antelope could be acting normal – the way she thought it to be normal.
And that’s an example when a dumb man meets a dumb animal. A lovely duet, what do you think.
Every person has a fear to find him or herself in an awkward situation, like falling from the steps in front of a large audience on a special event, or making his or her boss the butt of a joke while he’s standing right behind, or being on the verge of wetting his or her pants with no restrooms available. People try to avoid such situations, but nevertheless they happen whether we want it or not. Yep, doo happens. But it is up to us to decide how to handle embarrassing situations.
Women seem to be an unlimited source of funny and not so funny ‘oops’, but the way they get over the situation is another reason for men to take their hats off. Would you continue to dance if your top was falling off? Or continue to walk when you’ve just fallen off your heels? Twice? Being recorded on video and shown in the news? Some of us would simply run away and hide.
Embarrassing situations are often reproduced on TV: comedies and different commercials offer us a great variety of scenes to laugh at while thanking God we’re not the main characters of the episode.
Anyway, there are some good tips to follow if you managed to perform an ‘oops’. First of all – you should learn how to laugh at yourself. Our sense of humor often helps us to cast away the awkwardness of the situation. Secondly – learn to accept your mistake or the event that had happened. And at last – don’t stick to the problem: never return to it in your talks and in your mind. Tell yourself: ‘Yes, that happened but it’s over now’.
