Here are 5 carefully selected TikToks. Let me know what you like best.

1. The parrot's word play.

2. The life of a live-in private chef in the Hamptons.

3. A strange 19th century courting ritual.

4. Static electricity and the dog.

5. The man without stable footing.

Static electricity and the dog.

Th rest, no.

The parrot is the winner here, for sure.
The chef: like they say, "the rich are not like you and me."
The ritual: bad audio/video sync, impossible to watch.
The dog: very cute, not nearly as clever as the parrot.
The man: as someone not possessed with great balance myself, I sympathize...

These were all pretty good-great.

1) Hamptons Private Chef. Only because I cannot believe she puts up with that daily. They must pay her deliciously.
2) Static Electric Dog. Hilarious.
3) Man without stable footing. I feel like I've had a night or two like that in my past.
4) Parrot's word play.
5) Apples in armpits.

#4 - static charge on dog; hilarious

Comment on #5 - if your clip is so short that your accompanying background music can't even make it through one line of the song when played at fast speed, then avoid using music with lyrics.

The dog!
The private cook brought back a lot of memories: I did that kind of work for several years. It's exhausting.

Don't believe Austrian dating ritual. Glad to hear chef eats with clients.

#4, Static electricity and the dog. But... can this have occurred naturally, or is it a ruse, I wonder....

The Austrian with the lip iron is mesmerizing. Watching it bobble up and down as she spoke was captivating. I’d like to see her speak Italian with that thing.

mezzrow said...

For me, #5. I have played that tune so many times backing Buble covers that the face down in the mud is a metaphor for the whole exercise. YMMV - this one is personal.

The private chef is wonderful. Very talented without the big hassle of running a restaurant or even employed by a restaurant. One customer (very, very rich) and one check. They are lucky to have her.

The private chef should be a model or have her own TV show.

Went through the chef's channel, entertaining. My favorites are when she unabashedly shovels food in her mouth.

That Irishwoman with the thing in her thing is weirder than anything 19th century Austrians did.

And what is the groove between the most and lip called anyway?

I take it back. 19th century Austria gave us Freud, Wittgenstein, Sacher-Masoch, and Hitler. Could anywhere be weirder?

For some reason, #5 elicited multiple viewings and then I just started watching whatever there was as I scrolled down. I had an initial pang of worry when the man landed face down but then I reminded myself that someone was there recording him.

Meredith Hayden is the next Martha Stewart.

That couldn't possibly be a typical day for the chef unless she only works 2 or 3 days a week. I was surprised she eats with the family. The courting ritual was annoying because the sound was out of sync, but also, eww!

farmgirl said...

How did they hold the apple slices in their armpits?
When offered and accepted: we’re they then eaten?

My Wi-Fi doesn’t seem to like loading these tokees today! Still getting through them. Such a long hayday, yesterday. My knees aren’t happy to have done the whole milking chore alone.

Wusses.

farmgirl said...

Josephbleau: I bet you would!

Leo said...

The private chef takes a "body shower." Just an odd turn of phrase. It looks exhausting.

1# The brilliance of the parrot
2# The stable genius. Hope he didn’t get his face stuck!

My daughter showed me a tokkee by Murphy law? Hilarious. Irish lads and they try to copy women somersaulting together. Lol I don’t have the app so I can’t see it. I should look on YouTube. That’s what I’ll do…
