Guess who we have to blame for Valentine’s Day? Cupid, you say? No! Apparently a third-century Roman saint is the culprit. Saint Valentine or Valentinius, if you want to nitpick, was celebrated with a feast on February 14 way back in 496. Today we still celebrate Valentine’s Day (in a more pagan fashion) with chocolates, roses, diamonds, or whatever we can afford, assuming we remember the date. Yes, this time of year not only dictates that we lavish one another with copious amounts of heartfelt wishes but that we pair up for one day a year, even if it be a fleeting match up. Over the years this ritual, of course, has inspired creatives to produce great poems, novels, and, wait for it, humorous videos that make us laugh away our sorrows. I present to you FIVE chuckle-worthy gems that will lead you down the path to happiness. Enjoy!
From the mind of the comedy genius Sethward, The Birds and the Beewilderments takes some time to harken back those days when we were just understanding the literal basics of the love-making process. Hopefully, this is not a refresher for you.
OK, so once you have the fundamentals down what do you do from there? Well, the quickest way to anyone’s heart is through their palate. Kids, that means you gotta learn to cook. That also means you need a recipe. Let’s do a little culinary workshopping with the wonderful Grace Helbig. In this video, she teaches us how to make a tasty dessert in a most entertaining fashion. Behold the Wobbly Cobbly!
Phew! Now if your plans fall through, you just have to whip out those mad skills you just picked up on the Internet. But what if the food isn’t enough to please your sweetie? Hey, music always seems to be the tool that cool bands use. Why not tantalize your honey through the power of song. I promise this isn’t creepy at all. Cough. Let’s listen to Flula (Pitch Perfect 2) and Mamrie Hart (Camp Takota) deliver a clever tune called Eye Love You.
Hmmm, still having trouble? Perhaps, Adult Wednesday Addams (Melissa Hunter) can help you learn how to attract a mate. Watch as she has a brief tryst with with a “normie”. I do not recommend the One-Night Stand to the faint of heart or those keen on the practice of monogamy.
OK, you’ve done all that and you still get rejected. Um, why not enjoy the pain of others instead! Watch the romantic gestures of the Tree Potatoes.
