Dressed Like Cancer, Henry Winkler Dashes House of Cards

Most sobering situations could use an inappropriate joke. Contributing to Stand Up to Cancer‘s “This is where the end of cancer begins” campaign, celebrities use donated airtime to make laughter, not bummer. See spots:

“Cancer patients and their chemo-induced baldness have stolen the sympathy that is rightfully mine.” And that’s why Larry David can’t get laid.

Meanwhile, Henry Winkler plays cancer in the style of Epuron’s infuriating Wind guy. “Did I bite you? … I didn’t mean to.” Ahh. That Fonzie’s still a riot after all these years.

More videos at the Stand Up to Cancer website, including one where the Daily Show says FU to cancer, and one where Katie Couric … well, “Katie Couric” should be enough to make you laugh, actually.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

Harvard researchers had 166 undergraduates rate their own pets on qualities like thoughtful, considerate and sympathetic, and the students who felt most chronically disconnected from other people scored their pets meaningfully higher on exactly those three traits, and no others.
