In honor of Project Smile, I want to focus on some videos that did more than make me smile – they made me laugh. I love the quote by Milton Berle:
“Laughter is an instant vacation.”
Here were some of my laughter vacations in February.
The 2011 Super Bowl commercial that really made me laugh:
Of course, I love funny animal commercials. The Budweiser frogs and lizards were always some of my favorites – and I don’t even drink. Now if only they’d have funny commercials like this for healthy smoothies!
Smoking Can Damage Your Health Video Commercial
I found this video by visiting Fit Moms Fit Kids Club, one of the blogs I discovered through Blog Frog . This was definitely another of my February laugh vacations.
Doc Martin
My husband and I generally don’t watch cable TV except for figure skating and the Super Bowl. We do enjoy watching TV series on DVD that we order through Netflix – series like E.R., 24, Grey’s Anatomy, House, and our new favorite, Doc Martin.
I think Doc Martin is a bit like the British version of House with a touch of Mr. Bean. It’s set in beautiful Cornwall, England, and is the story of the new doctor in the fictional village of Portwenn. The village is filled with quirky characters, who, along with Doc Martin have made me laugh more than characters in any series since the early years of Saturday Night Live.
Here’s a video with just a few of the funny moments from season 1, which, of course, are funniest if you watch the series.

Thanks, Betsy! You and your husband have a great idea! Laughter definitely has very positive physical benefits. I’ll have to find your post on laughter yoga – it sounds great!
I don’t watch any television, either, so this was a treat. That smoking commercial… there’s some serious but dark humor in there!!!
Thanks, Snowcatcher – I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! That is dark humor in the smoking commercial – but it makes me laugh every time! 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I didn’t watch the superbowl this year. Nothing better than a good laugh though. So glad you participate in project smile.
I can’t thank you enough for creating Project Smile! I’ve had SO MUCH FUN with it! I’ll look forward to it starting up again next September! 🙂
