How’s a Gushers Make You Feel? Toll, Toll, Supertoll!

“Okay dancers, show me ‘crazy with happiness’!”

You gotta love whatever comes after a statement like that.

“Kinderkreis,” a universe constructed for Gushers video “Danse Gooshers,” is a fictional TV show where occasionally uncomfortable-looking German kids are offered a product. Then they tell the host how they feel about it — think “crazy with happiness!” — and a series of spandex-ensconced interpretive dancers pump out that sentiment to the best of their abilities.

Watch orange man go ballistic. He’s feeling it! But for a real thrill, wait until the dancers are greenscreened in with the faces of inexplicably delighted children.

We ask you — what on the internet is better than this? Curious work by Publicis Modem.

Psychologists say people who have lost their joy often develop an obsession with staying busy — not because they love productivity, but because stillness forces them to confront the emptiness they’ve been quietly outrunning

The loneliest people in long marriages aren’t those who fight constantly — they’re the ones who settled without being truly in love and have spent decades maintaining a performance of contentment that nobody, including their spouse, has ever questioned

I spent forty years thinking that showing up and doing the bare minimum made me a good father and husband — and then at 65, I overheard my daughter tell her friend she loves me but doesn’t really like me, and I finally understood the difference
