KK, I agree. I love Vine and I also love animal videos. I was lucky enough to travel to Africa with my family a few years ago and above is a short clip from our trip. We absolutely loved it. We saw some amazing things on this trip, but I will never forget this video. The hippo didn't do anything funny, but for me the background noise makes the video. So a big shout out to my Uncle Greg. He has this uncanny knack for making everything he does hysterical. I don't remember a conversation I have had with him that I wasn't near tears because I was laughing so hard. When I think of my Uncle Greg I picture him with a huge smile on his face wearing his neon green glasses. My Uncle Greg has style, his favorite color is neon green and you can tell. Everything he wears is pretty much neon green. No matter what his hair will be on point and I mean sometimes there is a point. But by far the best thing about him is the way he can make you laugh at the little things. He use to be an actor in New York, so maybe he is trained to be comical but I think it is because he is just a comical person. The sounds he makes in the video adds so much to this video that without it it probably wouldn't be as funny. I know I wouldn't be laughing as hard if he wouldn't have given us that great reaction.
I think sound has always played a huge role in movies and TV shows throughout the decades. For example, the music from Jaws tells us that a shark is coming and other shows use it today to tell us that something bad is about to happen. Another sound is the classic drum noises that are used after someone tells a joke. Everyone knows that sound and it adds emphasis to the joke. So Uncle Greg thank you for adding some laughter to my life.
Did he wear neon green and pointy hair on this trip? Where in Africa were you exactly (big place, after all)? So is part of the humor of Uncle Greg just how he is completely out of place, and incongruous, every where he goes? Is there any place you wouldn't want to take uncle Greg.
