C 1 and B2 (may be a little difficult) Humorous video clips for vacation UPDATED

I told you I'd be posting something entertaining or these days. I've decided to start with  humourous video clips I have buried in my blog. And go to Con C1 Protest songs for update with Pablo's song.

1. This videoclip in with Orson Welles and another actor talking about a friend. It's good for personality description, It has the useful expression "an artistic streak" (una vena artística and it's  funny.
There is something that they DON'T say about their recently deceased friend ( because they're British) but which is very obvious. What is it???  Of course, they are SUCH good actors!

2. Now for some contrast, a comic scene from "Friends" with some good American actors

Very funny. Robin Williams puts on a Spanish accent. Subtitles offered by clicking onto letter are TERRIBLE. Don't use them.

Important word gynecologist (ginecólogo) 

Pun ( play on words) You're in Sample (a town)
                                Urine sample (muestra de orina

3. Political satire : The previous option - from last year - is no longer available, so I'm posting 2 shows of Jon Stewart, who is like the US version of el Gran Wyoming! the subtitles are PERFECT.

Here he is laughing at the questionable things FOX News says to discredit different protestors, like saying that theyblock or slow down traffic-- especially on Black Friday- or that football players wear shirts with protest slogans instead of just playing football. CLICK HERE

indict= acusar

4. FINALLY, THIS IS NOT HUMOR AT ALL BUT IT'S A RAP AND THE THEME REMINDED ME OF SOME OF YOUR PROTEST SONGS. Some of the English subtitles in the captions are ridiculously wrong but the majority is correct enough to give you the idea.
 vocab. notes
ratings= índice de audiencia o popularidad

grudge = resentimiento, rencor

BTW, I still  haven't received several lyrics and links to post!  ;)
