Spoofed

These two recent spoofs made me chortle (or do I even chortle? At least giggle. Okay, there were smiles...):

1. First, Stephen Colbert provides his take on both Sesame Street and the famous marshmallow self-control experiment (a bit of profanity bleeped out but not especially well):

 

And, just for kicks, here's a video demonstrating a bit of the fascinating original study: 

2. This spoof of Ken Burns's documentary style (The Civil War, Baseball) in Vowels, a short film by Sam Cherington and friends, was also fun:

 

Up with humor! Jazz hands all around!
