The term “entertainment” makes us smile, make our eyes glitter, and spring to our feet. It is the gasoline that keeps our souls alive, whether through movies, music, or video games. Nevertheless, have you ever considered how absurd and hilarious some types of entertainment may be? Hold onto your hats, guys, because we’re about to embark on a journey through the craziest and most bizarre entertainment realms!
Let’s start with movies. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good blockbuster as much as the next person, but have you ever sat down and really thought about some of the plots? Take “Sharknado,” for example. It’s a movie about a tornado that picks up sharks and throws them at people. I mean, who came up with that idea? And let’s not forget the classic horror movie trope of the dumb blonde who always trips and falls while being chased by a killer. I mean, seriously, can’t they just watch where they’re going? Or how about “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, where the laws of physics seem to take a back seat to cool car chases and explosions. I’m pretty sure Vin Diesel could drive a car off a cliff and land it perfectly on the other side without so much as a scratch. It’s all so ridiculous, yet so entertaining.
Let’s now discuss music. There are some incredible musicians like BurnaBoy, Davido, Tiwa savage, Olamide,Timi Dakolo etc who write songs that are incredibly beautiful and meaningful, but there are also those who seem to have lost all sense of reality. Do you recall Rebecca Black’s controversial song “Friday”? It appeared as though someone had set a beat to a collection of random phrases. We all secretly enjoy busting out Psy’s “Gangnam Style” at gatherings because of its catchy music and absurd dance techniques. Weird Al Yankovic, the master of bizarre music videos, should also not be overlooked. He has been making us laugh with his witty lyrics and outrageous costumes while parodying classic tunes for decades.
Let’s discuss about gaming last but not least. Games have always been a fun way to kill time, from the traditional board games we all played as kids to the most recent virtual reality experiences. You may have heard of “Goat Simulator,” though. You may wreck havoc on a metropolis while playing as a goat in this game. It’s true what you read. A goat. Not to be overlooked is the video game “Katamari Damacy,” in which you control a small character that rolls a ball while grabbing anything and everything in his path, from tiny thumbtacks to huge structures. Everything is so ridiculous, yet so amusing.
In conclusion, entertainment can be many things – beautiful, inspiring, thought-provoking, and yes, even hilarious. Sometimes the most ridiculous forms of entertainment are the ones that make us laugh the hardest and bring us the most joy. So the next time you’re watching a cheesy movie, listening to a silly song, or playing a ridiculous game, don’t be ashamed to let out a big belly laugh. After all, life is too short not to enjoy the weird and wonderful world of entertainment.
