One of My All Time Favorite Youtube Videos
Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 12:16PM It's kind of been a slow day today. Had a show last night with THE UTILITY PLAYERS and stepped in to do some improv. I had an absolutely amazing time last night. The audience was incredible and I am always grateful to have the opportunity to perform another day and do another show ... who doesn't enjoy the limelight?
So today I am just taking care of some odd and ends around the house as well as some errands that I have neglected to do - including shipping off my mother's day gift ... which may or may not happen by May 9th ... but if my mother knows anything about me she will not be
surprised or disappointed. And, what better thing to do when you have a scary list of tasks staring you in the face ... look up Youtube videos for hours.
While on my search I came across one of my all time favorite Youtube videos. Contrary to popular belief it wasn't a scene from a musical, a stunning performance from American Idol, or a best-of-Cher-video-montage. Instead, my favorite Youtube video is called "The Best of Brenda" a compilation of scenes of Brenda Meeks' funniest scenes from Scary Movie 1 & 2. Brenda Meeks is played by actress Regina Hall - who is credited for roles in First Sunday, Malibu's Most Wanted, and Love and Basketball. Whenever I watch this video I instantly pee my pants. Regina delivers her lines perfectly with this comedic prowess that instantly makes you break out into laughter. I also have drawn a lot of inspiration from Brenda as a drag queen - her ghetto fabulousness is amazing and hilarious.
I remember watching this video repeatedly back in Wisconsin with my gay male friends - which by the way you have not lived until you have seen a flamboyantly gay man do this entire video. Ahh the memories. Procrastinate and put off an important task for the day and watch the video below - it will brighten your day.
