There's a few solid contenders this week. I first thought about posting Stephen Colbert's brilliant commencement address at Northwestern in its entirety, but 20 minutes is just a touch longer than the average Clip of the Week, and even I barely had the attention span to stick around for the full thing (though it was definitely worth it, if you're so inclined).
Sticking with the Comedy Central theme, I also considered posting this clip from the Daily Show, with a humorous (and, of course, terrifying) slant on the Greek debt crisis. But that's no fun, either.
No, this week I feel like we all could use a few laughs, so I went in search of some of the most mind-numbing content the internet had to offer (and if there's one thing the internet's got a lot of, well...). So I first realized that yesterday was the 30th anniversary of John McEnroe's famous "you cannot be serious" rant at Wimbledon, but decided that the use of the word "serious" meant that it wasn't nearly mind-numbing enough to win this week's honor.
This Benny Hill-esque video of a motorcycle crash in France very nearly took the cake (don't worry, nobody got hurt except the bikes), but it still wasn't quiiiite there.
Oh hey, look, it's a cat playing with a box. Yup, that's perfect. Ladies and gentlemen, your Clip of the Week.
