Funny Faces of Senior Citizens Playing Wii -- a Gallery

by Warren Riddle on February 27, 2009 at 06:19 PM


The Internet provides a seemingly endless supply of comic mayhem featuring teens and young adults partaking in video game hilarity. While the clips and photos aid in getting through the doldrums of the day, keen observers may have noticed a dearth of material featuring senior citizens. Not anymore.

What's your favorite video game console?

The good people over at leveloneboss.com have compiled a gallery of silver foxes celebrating the Wii skills of the AARP crowd. Rife with Photoshop and caption possibilities, the gallery seems to demonstrate the inherent rejuvenating power of video games. Hopefully though, they'll stay away from the violent titles so we won't have to worry about menacing gangs of unruly senior citizens plaguing the streets. For some funny videos from the younger set, check out our gallery after the break. [from: Level One Boss]

YouTubes Funniest Kids

    David After Dentist
    This video of little David DeVore's post-dentist anesthetic-induced rants and raves goes way above and beyond your average "kids say the funniest things" moments. Once it hit YouTube, the clip caused a huge sensation and a bit of an uproar of commenters accusing David DeVore Sr. of exploiting his child. We'll side with the father on this one – it's just too hilarious not to be shared with the millions of people who've seen it.

    Kittens Inspired by Kittens
    If you're looking for a hysterical recipe for a YouTube clip, just follow this formula. Take a picture book of kittens. Add one adorable 6-year-old girl. Throw in completely random commentary by said girl and you'll get something approximating this amazingly popular video. For us, it doesn't get any better than the quick "I'm her mom!" "No, she's not!" segment.

    'I Don't Like You, Mommy'
    Check out the little booger who explains to his "Mommy" that, while he does love her, he only likes her sometimes. Namely, when she's giving him cookies. Give the kid some points for honesty.

    Laughing Baby
    While not a freak-out in the traditional sense, this baby's astronomical level of cheerfulness would qualify as freaky, if it weren't so dang cute. Anybody who's watched this video and not cracked a smile is officially soulless.

    Kid Breaks Gameboy
    This man-child, unhappy with the responsiveness of his Game Boy, gets up and dashes it against the sidewalk. He is above pictured with said device's remains.

    Dizzy Kid
    This tot's parents gave him a thorough spinning session on a piece of playground equipment, leaving the toddler to weave around the playground like a man drunk. Until he slams into a swing set, that is. Whoops!

    'Charlie Bit Me!'
    This adorable pair of British brothers seem to be a picture of sibling harmony until the younger (the bald one) gives his big brother a healthy chomp on the finger. While the angry German gamer proved that a German accent makes tantrums even scarier, Charlie's brother proves that a proper English accent makes whining sound like a civil complaint.

    Kiddo on Laughing Gas
    In yet another installment of 'Drugged-Out Kids on Their Way Home From the Dentist,' this young man speaks incoherently and struggles to walk a straight line while his dad mans the camera. Somehow, we don't think this kid's quasi-celebrity for drug-addled behavior bodes well for his future.

    The Foul-Mouthed Gamer
    We're not sure if this guy technically qualifies as a "kid" or not, but -- judging from his behavior -- his social development halted around the age of two. As he gets increasingly frustrated with his Xbox game, the brat unleashes a chain of cuss words that would make a sailor blush.

    The Red-Headed Spazzer
    Participating in what seems to be be a Sunday School sing-along, this little fellow has as much fire in his gut as he does on his head. While the class demurely sings, he jumps, spins around and yelps gibberish to his heart's delight. The movie 'Problem Child' may or may not have been based on this young man's story.
