It's All in the Surprise

Now, I don't normally advocate people hurting themselves, but I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this video. It was a relatively quiet night, and my friend said she'd send me some YouTube videos to keep me entertained. This was the first one. We've all seen the various versions of the dance to Beyonce's "Single Ladies," including the famous Saturday Night Live skit with Justin Timberlake, so I wasn't expecting much from this one. At first I thought, "Yeah, yeah. Another person who has way too much time on her hands trying to copy Beyonce. A clown mask? Really?" In fact, I was about to close the video, thinking I'd seen all there was to see, disappointed at the been-there-seen-that feeling I got, but then, 22 seconds into the video, sitting by myself, I burst out laughing. 0:22 made it a completely different video. I mean COMPLETELY. At that moment, I realized that sometimes a surprise is worth waiting for. Had I closed the video, I would have missed out on one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. Had I known what was coming, it wouldn't have been nearly as hilarious. (Although, when I showed it to my friends the next day, even though I knew what was coming, I definitely laughed with them.) It's all in the surprise.
