We live in the generation where it is all about eating the right food and being healthy, but the recent Youtube phenomenal “EpicMealTime” doesn’t seem to agree with that.

With their newest video, “Tequila Taco Night”, they have over 500,000 views with just two days, and“#1 – Most Viewed (Feb 9) – Canada “on Youtube. Fans around the world seemed to agree with their lifestyle of eating Epically!

The first video I watched was, The Worst Pizza Ever!,” after the video I was so shocked about how people can make food look this disgusting and still manage to swallow it. All the element of “unhealthy” was pack together to create the Epic meal.

However, there is something about the video that made me click the “Subscribe” bottom and became a loyal fan who waits for their new video every Tuesday.

Harley Morenstein, the cook and the host of EpicMealTime creates meals that defy what nutritionists say we should eat. No vegetable, but lots of meat, cheese, fat, alcohol, and BACON! Lots and lots of bacon, and it must be Canadian Bacon.

Although I still don’t think the food they made is in any condition good for anyone’s health, I am still impressed with their creativity and dedication in making ordinary food something amazing and epic. I watch it because it allows me to do something “bad” without actually doing it. Also, Morenstein just makes me laugh with all his random comments and somehow stoned-looking face. Yet when you listen carefully, it all somehow makes sense; that is if you this weird sense of humor like I do or you are a fan too.

One more reason why I am a fan, they are Canadian! And they love the Canadian Bacon.

Last summer, I watched the movie “Despicable Me”, believed that a lot you saw it too. The trailers for the movie were mainly by those little yellow “minions” doing funny things. And just recently, one of my best friends, Anoushka, shared a mini-movie of the minions —“BANANA”.

And now, all my friends greet each other in the fashion of

“Banana”    “Banana”

I really enjoyed watching this two minutes long short film, not only because I loved Despicable Me, but it is just a great laugh that helps me temporarily escape from reality. It was also so brilliantly scripted, that viewers just can’t stop themselves from laughing. And the best parts of all, there were only two words throughout the entire film. You might have guessed one, and it is for you to find out what the other one is.

There are many things in our everyday life that make us smile or laugh, we just have to notice them and appreciate them. With the internet and all sorts of gadgets that links us from one another, we should also share these moments and enjoy laughing together.

For me, the film was absolutely cute and hilariously funny, yet the best part wasn’t laughing when watching it, but to be able to share it with my friends and laugh about it over and over again. People who sit around us in class probably had no idea what we are talking about; when throughout our conversation only two words were used. But these are the moments that I cherish the most, because that’s what shows how strong our friendship is and just how we understand each other’s mind without needing to say much.

So, BANANA!!!
