I'm A Celebrity's Joe Swash shares hilarious clip of Holly Willoughby squatting down on a bridge to 'hide' from the rain

HOLLY Willoughby was left reeling during last night’s I’m A Celebrity as she attempted to take cover from the torrential rain that began mid-show.

Extra Camp host Joe Swash, 36, hilariously captured the ITV darling, 37, on his Instagram cowering under an umbrella as she tried to hide from the tropical weather in between segments.

Unaware that she was being filmed, the This Morning host could be seen settling onto her hunkers on one of the show’s bridges as she gripped tightly onto an umbrella in a bid to stop getting wet.

However, Holly’s attempts at remaining unnoticed in the wet terrain failed as presenter Joe hilariously poked fun at her on his social media.

He said: “Holly what are you doing down there? Holly, what are you doing?”

Turning with a smile, Holly shrieked: “I’m hiding”, while the rain jumped off her umbrella and down her khaki-coloured jacket.

Capturing the rib-tickling moment on Instagram, Joe wrote alongside the clip: “@hollywilloughby trying 2 get some cover from the ran!!!! (sic).”

Holly, who has confessed to being terrified of everything in the jungle, left I’m a Celebrity viewers in stitches on Monday after screaming in horror at a leaf during the first Bushtucker Trial.

As she watched Emily Atack bravely confront 50 snakes – the highest number in the show’s history – while taking on the Viper Pit, Holly was clearly on edge as she hilariously mistook a leaf for a creepy critter.

Moments after telling The Inbetweeners star that she was brave and doing well, the TV presenter ironically screamed and grabbed co-host Declan Donnelly before laughing: “Oh, it’s just a leaf”.

Fans were quick to pick up on the funny moment, with many joking that they could completely relate to her unmerited fear.

Holly has since managed to keep her fears at bay while she guided Anne Hegarty and John Barrowman through their Bushtucker Trials.

Bill Maher says fury over his Stan Lee comments proves his point about our 'dumb f**king culture'

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/bill-maher-says-fury-over-his-stan-lee-comments-proves-his-point-about-our-dumb-fking-culture/

Bill Maher says fury over his Stan Lee comments proves his point about our 'dumb f**king culture'

HBO late-night host Bill Maher angered many in the comic book community this week with a blog post about the reaction to Stan Lee’s death.

“The guy who created Spider-Man and the Hulk has died, and America is in mourning. Deep, deep mourning for a man who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie, I guess,” he began the post.

It quickly sparked backlash, and Maher clarified his comments while doubling down on them in an interview with Larry King on Wednesday.

“Talk about making my point for me,” Maher said. “Yeah, I don’t know very much about Stan Lee and it certainly wasn’t a swipe at Stan Lee…I am agnostic on Stan Lee. I don’t read comic books. I didn’t even read them when I was a child.

“What I was saying is: A culture that thinks that comic books and comic book movies are profound meditations on the human condition is a dumb f—ing culture. And for people to, like, get mad at that just proves my point.”

Watch more

Maher added that he was slow to pick up on the reaction to his post as he doesn’t “follow social media like that, every stupid thing people lose their s— about.”

In the original blog post, Maher joked: “Someone on Reddit posted, ‘I’m so incredibly grateful I lived in a world that included Stan Lee.’ Personally, I’m grateful I lived in a world that included oxygen and trees, but to each his own.”

He also said that the assumption when he was growing up “for both the adults and the kids, was that comics were for kids, and when you grew up you moved on to big-boy books without the pictures.”

Maher complained that in recent years “adults decided they didn’t have to give up kid stuff” and started “pretending comic books were actually sophisticated literature,” while “some dumb people got to be professors by writing theses with titles like ‘Otherness and Heterodoxy in the Silver Surfer.’”

Column: When a Stable Genius Leads a Stupid Country

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/column-when-a-stable-genius-leads-a-stupid-country/

Column: When a Stable Genius Leads a Stupid Country

Washington

President Donald Trump is surrounded by fools.

There’s that fool William H. McRaven, Special Operations commander of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and the other fools in the U.S. military, who should have brought down bin Laden “a lot sooner,” because “everybody in Pakistan” — all 208 million of them — knew the terrorist leader was living in “a nice mansion.” Trump alone “predicted Osama bin Laden” in 2000 when “nobody really knew who he was.” (Were they waiting for Trump to give them bin Laden’s ZIP code plus four?)

There are the fools in the CIA, who have concluded based on so-called evidence that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered last month’s killing of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi. But Trump alone understands that we’ll never know the truth, because the crown prince denied involvement “maybe five different times.”

There’s that fool Chris Wallace at Fox News, who didn’t understand why Trump skipped Arlington National Cemetery on the Monday after Veterans Day after skipping a visit to a U.S. military cemetery in France two days earlier. But Wallace, if he were wiser, would have known Trump was “extremely busy on calls for the country” as well as “doing other things.”

There are the foolish Finns who, after Trump claimed Finland avoided forest fires because “they spend a lot of time on raking,” are now mocking him by posing with garden tools in the woods.

Worst of all are the fools in California — people who insist on calling the fire-destroyed town there “Paradise” instead of “Pleasure,” as Trump prefers to call it — who assert that the fires were caused by drought instead of their own mismanagement. As Trump well knows, “there is no drought” in California and there is “plenty of water.”

No one has suffered as many fools as Trump has. But this is to be expected when a “very stable genius” leads a “stupid country.”

Trump knows “more about courts than any human being.” He knows “more about steelworkers than anybody.”

He knows “more about ISIS than the generals do,” and “more about offense and defense than they will ever understand.” He knows “more about wedges than any human being that’s ever lived.”

He even knows more about medicine than his doctor, dictating a doctor’s letter predicting he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

How does Trump know so much about so many things?

Explaining his disagreement with scientists on climate change, Trump told The Associated Press: “My uncle was a great professor at MIT for many years. Dr. John Trump. And I didn’t talk to him about this particular subject, but I have a natural instinct for science.”

Given Trump’s natural scientific instinct, you don’t need a B.S. from Trump University to know how frustrating it must be to be contradicted repeatedly by “experts” — some in his own administration!

The intelligence community unanimously believes that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, but Trump’s instinct says there’s no reason to disbelieve Russian President Vladimir Putin’s denials.

Satellite imagery shows that North Korea has enhanced its ability to launch missiles, but Trump says, “I don’t believe that.”

The scientific consensus supports the theory of climate change, but Trump says “it could very well go back” to cooling.

Trump’s instinct has led him to a number of scientific discoveries over time: “The worst hurricanes were 50 years ago.”

Vaccines cause autism in “many” healthy children.

The flu shot is “totally ineffective.”

Exercise is unhealthy.

Coal is “indestructible.”

Windmills are a “killing field” for birds and can make people who live near turbines “go crazy after a couple of years.”

It’s OK to look directly at the sun during a solar eclipse.

California is “shoving” water out to sea “to protect a certain kind of three-inch fish.”

With such a high level of technical expertise, Trump waited 19 months into his presidency to name a White House science adviser. More than 1,000 members of the National Academy of Sciences accuse Trump of the “denigration of scientific expertise and harassment of scientists.”

But they don’t understand. Trump knows more about science than the scientists do.

And this is the problem with being surrounded by fools: Though Trump gives his presidency an “A-plus,” most Americans — about 60 percent — do not appreciate his brilliance.

He deserves better — and he should demand it. He should walk away, withdraw his excellence, maybe get a place in Pleasure — and leave us to suffer our own foolish “scientists” and “experts” and “facts.” That would really show us.

Follow Dana Milbank on Twitter, @Milbank.

'Get back in your w****r car!' York motorist swears at BMW driver who pulled in front suddenly

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/get-back-in-your-wr-car-york-motorist-swears-at-bmw-driver-who-pulled-in-front-suddenly/

'Get back in your w****r car!' York motorist swears at BMW driver who pulled in front suddenly

Two drivers exchanged verbal blows after a minor traffic incident sparked a foul-mouthed rant.

The pair of road rage motorists began swearing at each other after a manoeuvre by a BMW driver escalated into a verbal altercation.

Tom Albon was driving through York yesterday when the BMW driver cut him up and pulled in front of his vehicle in a left-hand lane, causing him to brake hard.

Both drivers were moving off from a set of traffic lights when the grey BMW Z4 convertible sports car then moved into the lane in front of Albon.

His dashcam audio picked up Albon swearing under his breath at his fellow driver’s actions as Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ played in the background.

The BMW driver stopped in the middle of the lane and got out of his vehicle to confront Tom Albon in York yesterday

As the driver marched over to his rival’s car the pair exchanged swear words before going their separate ways

As the BMW driver broke he then remained stationary in the middle of the lane and did not move off with the queue of traffic in front of him and even got out of his vehicle to confront Albon.

Video footage captured in a dashcam camera showed that the BMW driver marched over to Albon, who responded by making a rude hand gesture in his direction.

Albon responded with a volley of expletives in the BMW driver’s direction.

‘F*****g wanker .. what the fuck are you doing, pulling in like that?’ he said, before warning him he was on camera.

‘You swore at me’, said the BMW driver in reference to the hand gesture.

Dashcam footage recorded the BMW driver pull in front of Albon as he moved into the left-hand lane

The BMW driver was told to, ‘get back in your w****r car, get back in your penis extender’ by Albon during the verbal confrontation in the middle of the road

‘You just f*****g pulled into my breaking space, you stupid c**t, you’re on camera you f*****g bell***’ Albon replied.

‘Get back in your w****r car. Get back in your penis extender. … F*** off, get back in your car you f*****g bell***’, all while Kylie’s 2001 pop hit plays in the background on the car stereo.

Albon later added: ‘There was nothing leading up to it, he was behind me and decided to move to the wrong lane so he can speed ahead.

‘The lane he was in was to go right at the upcoming roundabout, I was in the lane to go left, he decided to be a c*** and push ahead and into my braking space, so I flipped him off so to speak. He got out of the car and I roasted him.’

Lighthearted wedding invitation rubs recipient the wrong way

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/lighthearted-wedding-invitation-rubs-recipient-the-wrong-way/

Lighthearted wedding invitation rubs recipient the wrong way

DEAR ABBY: We received a wedding invitation in the mail today from my husband’s nephew. First of all, we are to RSVP by tomorrow. (WHAT?)

Here are our options in responding:

Gladly attend

Regretfully decline

Resentfully attend

Enthusiastically decline

I’ll surprise you

The invitation also asked which song we’d like “blasted over our awkward small talk.” Granted, there is some animosity among the groom’s father’s siblings, but I think this is rude, sarcastic and inappropriate. I have a sense of humor but do not find this funny. Am I off the mark? — INSULTED GUEST IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR GUEST: Obviously, you and your husband would have preferred a more formal — and possibly more timely — invitation. Considering the sorry state of family relations on the groom’s side, the wording may have been an attempt at humor. It may also have been sincere. If you cannot GLADLY attend, rather than fume, send your regrets.

DEAR ABBY: We don’t care much for the wife of one of our new neighbors. The husband is nice, but his wife is overbearing. On the occasions we get together, she interrupts conversations or takes over the conversation whenever she speaks. Occasionally, we see each other around the neighborhood, and it’s always a friendly meeting since we can walk away from them.

Once in a while one neighbor will have a few of the others over for a party, but no one wants to invite the new couple because of her. What do we say if either one asks why they aren’t invited to some of the parties we have? We live close enough to each other that they might see us entertaining without them. Please don’t suggest we invite them and suck it up since we tried that and the evening was not fun for anyone. — STRUGGLING FOR AN ANSWER

DEAR STRUGGLING: Don’t worry, I won’t. No one should ask a question like that unless prepared for the answer. If one of them is so bold as to ask why they weren’t included, I think you should tell the person the truth.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a boy in sixth grade. Recently, my best friend has been hitting me. I try to get her to stop. I’ve done everything I can think of, but she keeps doing it.

Today in math class, she pinched me or something — I can’t remember — so I did it back. Afterward she beat on me with a ruler. I could really use some of your advice. — TIRED OF IT

DEAR TIRED OF IT: The person you call your best friend isn’t acting like one. She may do it to get attention because she has a crush on you, or because she’s a bully. Tell her to stop touching you because you don’t like it, but do NOT retaliate by hitting her back. If she persists, tell your teacher what she has been doing because it’s creating a distraction when you need to be concentrating in class.

Internet divided on hotel buffet: How much food should you put in your bag?

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/internet-divided-on-hotel-buffet-how-much-food-should-you-put-in-your-bag/

Internet divided on hotel buffet: How much food should you put in your bag?

It’s a moment every parent knows well – when limited budgets take precedence over basic human decency.

Steven watched in amazement as the exhausted parents carefully filled their bags with tiny milk cartons before heading out for a day of fun at a nearby theme park.

With a start, the US man realised the couple were stealing the milk to “satisfy their little monsters for the entire day for free!”

“The parents were completely abusing the system,” he wrote on Quora.

If you’ve ever travelled with kids this story will be familiar to you.

The moment when your limited budget takes over from basic human decency and you find yourself loading Tupperware containers from home at the hotel buffet each morning.

So how much is too much to take?

On this juicy topic, the internet seemed pretty divided.

Sabre Norris gives great food buffet advice on ‘The Ellen Show’

What’s wrong with taking a few muffins?

Some savvy travellers thought it was completely fine to grab a few extras from the breakfast buffet.

They even began sharing stories of their own.

My wife always picks up a muffin or two when we go out for buffets, especially when we are on vacations,” one commenter wrote.

“Most of the time, I tell her it’s wrong and she shouldn’t be doing that, and sometimes I do actually ask the staff if we can take it (to which they always say yes!).

“It’s really funny how I ask for the same muffin she picked up from the buffet when I start to feel hungry after few hours or so.”

That’s husbands for you!

Another intrepid traveller shared a story about a surprise 12-hour layover in Singapore where the free breakfast buffet seemed to be the only thing stopping an actual riot from breaking out.

“Some people had breakfast two times within the allotted time,” he said.

“Some stealthily packed a few snacks for lunch, so that they need not buy.”

via GIPHY

It’s your money – so why not?

Thankfully, most seemed to agree that it was fine to take a few extras as “you paid for it with your money”.

“At the end of the day there’s nothing wrong with taking something you paid for yourself,” one mum said.

“I think the people who run the hotels anticipate that customers will take a banana, an orange, or a cup of yogurt, or all of them back to their rooms or their cars,” another added.

“You’re paying a hundred dollars a night or whatever for the room, you can justify taking an English muffin or a container of chocolate milk that probably costs the hotel less than 15 cents apiece.

“You have my permission.”

via GIPHY

But do the killjoys have a point?

But, of course, there were some that really weren’t OK with that.

“You will be called greedy and stingy,” one commenter provocatively wrote.

“It is not fair to the other people who are waiting for the nice food.”

“If you are taking enough to feed another person or another meal portion – that’s unethical and making the hotel lose a potential business,” another added.

“Taking large amounts can be equated to theft in the eyes of the law in most places.”

If you are thinking those against the practice sound like complete killjoys – then this commenter might make you think differently.

They made the valid point that taking extra food from the buffet means that staffs aren’t able to take said food away if it has been sitting out for too long.

“So taking food back with you to consume later may pose a risk if you chose to take a food that may spoil easily,” they wrote.

“If you are taking liquids like milk and yoghurt and you don’t have proper refrigeration you may get some problems.”

So maybe just choose wisely next time.

A frank, fearless and funny guide to parenting – podcasts of the week

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/a-frank-fearless-and-funny-guide-to-parenting-podcasts-of-the-week/

A frank, fearless and funny guide to parenting – podcasts of the week

Talking points

After 20 years behind bars, Earlonne Woods, an inmate at the San Quentin State Prison who hosts and co-produces the popular Ear Hustle podcast, has had his sentence commuted by the governor of California and will be released on parole. Despite Woods’s release, the podcast’s creators have said the series will continue, with more tales of life at the prison.

This weekend sees the US premiere of Dirty John, the Connie Britton-starring TV remake of the hit true crime podcast. UK viewers will have to wait a little longer to watch the series, which has been acquired by Netflix, with no release date announced yet.

You have a week to apply for the Google Podcasts Creator Program, which aims to provide a prospective podcasters with seed funding and intensive training to bring their stories to the air. The program is overseen by some major players in podcasting, including Pineapple Street Studios co-founder Jenna Weiss-Berman and the Allusionist host Helen Zaltzman. The application period ends on 2 December.

Picks of the week

Dan Taberski, host of Headlong. Photograph: Andrew Zaeh

The Trap Door

Parenting podcasts could always use a little more humour, so Sophie Black’s is a breath of fresh air. The latest episode is a cracker, with Him & Her’s Sarah Solemani being refreshingly honest about how she spent money to get all the help she needed when her children were born and felt she couldn’t refuse a meeting with Michelle Pfeiffer on her due date. “Mother less, tidy up less, forgive yourself and don’t be afraid of formula,” are among her fearlessly delivered pearls of wisdom. Hannah Verdier

Headlong: Surviving Y2K

Dan Taberski’s podcast Missing Richard Simmons was an instant hit, but stirred up controversy amid allegations he was invading the exercise guru’s privacy. Now he is back with Surviving Y2K, tracking down the people who thought the end of the world was nigh as the millennium dawned. He is unable to find Otis, who stockpiled hamsters for the big event, but he does meet Dave, who is rumoured to have coined the phrase Y2K “because it’s 67% more efficient”. Also promised are “dogs in sweatshirts and freshly born kittens”. HV

The UK government has inflicted “great misery” on its people with “punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous” austerity policies, according to a damning verdict from the United Nations poverty envoy Philip Alston.

As part of Alston’s fact-finding mission around Britain, Guardian social affairs correspondent Robert Booth, followed the UN envoy for a day in Newcastle upon Tyne. He found people struggling to cope within a benefits system designed to force people into work with built-in delays to payments. Many have been referred to food banks with some still going hungry. Other recent episodes of the Guardian’s daily news podcasts have covered Donald Tusk, Steve Bannon and Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. Catch up with recent episodes here.

Readers’ picks

Awake At Night

It is rare that you hear such honesty about being a humanitarian worker. You begin to understand the very real fears these incredible men and women have working on the front line. Intriguing, uplifting and gripping. Recommended by Sarah Epstein

The Minefield

This podcast bills itself as a discussion of the ethical minefields of modern life. Obviously, there are no pat answers. But there are sometimes really good and different ways of looking at things. It is intelligent and helpful without being glib or shouty. Recommended by Christine Sanderson

Holiday movies at home

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/holiday-movies-at-home/

Holiday movies at home

If leaving the house to see “Ralph Breaks the Internet” is too much trouble, try renting some of these films, watching them on-demand or pulling them out of your DVD collection:

“Planes, Trains and Automobiles” (1987) — This laugh-out-loud comedy follows uptight businessman Steve Martin and goofy John Candy, forced together on a cross-country odyssey at Thanksgiving. This is the rare road movie that works. Rated R for profanity.

“Arthur Christmas” (2011) — In this fast-paced and family-friendly film, Santa’s son, Arthur, must save Christmas by taking a long journey to deliver that last gift. Rated PG.

“Disney’s A Christmas Carol” (2009) — Jim Carrey plays Scrooge in this animated version of the story. He also plays the three ghosts who haunt Scrooge. Be warned, however, that this 3-D film was produced through the process of performance capture, a technique director Robert Zemeckis previously used in his film “The Polar Express” (2004). Some folks love this effect; we find it creepy. Rated PG.

“Fred Claus” (2007) — Vince Vaughn stars as Fred, the bitter older brother of Santa Claus (Paul Giamatti). Fred shows up at Christmas and causes more trouble for Santa in this sour take on sibling rivalry and the holidays. Rated PG for mild violence.

“Elf” (2003) — Will Ferrell is perfect here as an oversized Santa’s helper. This holiday hit is a winner, with a sweet story about Buddy the Elf leaving the North Pole in search of his real father, the grumpy James Caan. The story is silly, but Ferrell is hilarious and the film’s amiable charm (and the presence of Bob Newhart as Papa Elf) will win over even die-hard cynics. Rated PG.

“A Muppet Christmas Carol” (2003) — Michael Cain does some of his best work ever, playing it straight while acting with puppets as Scrooge in this classic Muppet movie. Kermit, as Bob Crachit, is as lovable as they come, and Miss Piggy as Mrs. Crachit is … well, Miss Piggy. Rated G.

“Miracle on 34th Street.” (1947) — Fine. You’ve seen it. But if it’s been awhile, see it again. This movie — about what happens when an unhappy woman and her cynical daughter meet the real Santa Claus — is as relevant today as it was when it was made. (We know there’s a remake, but we prefer the original version.)

“It’s A Wonderful Life” (1946) — We know. You’ve seen this one, too. But who can resist Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, the man who gets to see what the world would be like if he had never been born?

“A Christmas Story” (1946) — This very funny film — humorist Jean Shepherd’s recollections about being a kid in the 1940s and wanting a Red Ryder air rifle for Christmas — is a gem. Peter Billingsley stars as the kid, with Melinda Dillon and Darren McGavin as his parents in this heartwarming film. Rated G.

Finally, fans of musicals can sing and dance along with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire in 1942’s “Holiday Inn.” Irving Berlin wrote songs for all the holidays — including Thanksgiving and even Abraham Lincoln’s birthday — for this film about an inn that is open only on holidays. It’s also the film debut of that Berlin classic, “White Christmas.”

Of course, you can always just turn on the Hallmark Channel, too. The cable channel is showing holiday-themed films around the clock. Enjoy!

Fallout 76 Fake Accolades Trailer Is Very Funny If It Wasn't So Sad

New Post has been published on http://funnythingshere.xyz/fallout-76-fake-accolades-trailer-is-very-funny-if-it-wasnt-so-sad/

Fallout 76 Fake Accolades Trailer Is Very Funny If It Wasn't So Sad

There’s isn’t a Fallout 76 accolades trailer. Well, not an official one. Despite our own reviewer actually enjoying Bethesda’s new approach to the series, many didn’t.

Right now, the average review rating on Metacritic stands at a lowly 50%, while the user rating stands at 2.7 out of 10. Many Fallout 76 reviews across the web berated the developer’s latest RPG, with some describing it as “empty”, “disappointing” and “soulless”.

Unsurprisingly, we’ve yet to see an accolades trailer, though there is an unofficial one. We shouldn’t laugh as we personally don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as people are making out, but it is quite funny, albeit quite sad that the Fallout series has found itself in this position.

Check it out.

People were stunned to see snow settling as far south as the English Channel…

Though there’s always the risk some might get a little bit jittery at the first signs of snow:

The while of the uk … when they see a snow flake 😂👌🏼❄️ #snow #Snowvember #Snowing pic.twitter.com/dQAb92BXnT

Meanwhile in asda, terrified shoppers have panic purchased all the bread, milk and canned goods and are prepared to be snowed in for 6 weeks #uksnow

Fortunately, people were on hand with calming words of wisdom:

Don’t panic people it’s not settling #snow

People of Great Britain the important thing is not to panic. There will be enough bread and milk for everyone. Snow is an ordinary phenomenon in winter.

Meanwhile Britain’s highest pub – The Tan Hill Inn in Yorkshire – chose an appropriate time to promote their ‘ski party’:

While even the Royal Ballet were embracing the early Christmas feeling:

Some saw this all as a bit of a challenge:

Perfect time for walking up the #cairngormMountain #uksnow pic.twitter.com/vJ61aDP9MA

— Darryl (@dazzler_1972) November 21, 2018

Others as an excuse to adopt a cosy siege mentality.

Looking out your window to see snow coming down, while you’re wrapped up warm in a dressing gown sipping on a cuppa tea is pretty blissful! #uksnow

Some were sadly feeling left out…

Meanwhile no snow in Manchester #uksnow pic.twitter.com/hw10f7J3Hz

…and it’s important to remember other nations have it far worse:
