Five web favorites from Access Press‘s Jane McClure

Anyone who battles chronic breathing problems, which can be aggravated by allergies and asthma, knows how hard it can be to get through the summer. These favorite video clips might bring a smile between sneezes. August’s picks were compiled by Access Press Assistant Editor Jane McClure, who will be glad when the first frost arrives. PS: Join in! Send us your top five, with comments, to access@accesspress.org

“Rent: The Allergy Season”

www.youtube.com/

This parody of the Broadway musical and movie is set in Upstate New York, instead of New York City. The characters suffer from allergies, not AIDS. The bit with the citronella candle is especially humorous.

Forward to: people who can’t stop singing show tune

 

“Proxy Pet Love Service”

www.youtube.com/

If you are allergic to Fido or Fluffy, here is your solution. It’s a toss-up as to which is funnier – the expression on the wary black cat’s face or the very hyper commercial pitchman.

Forward to: a pet love

 

“Sneezing Panda”

www.youtube.com/

YouTube has two sneezing panda videos, which have been posted multiple times. There are even videos of people watching and reacting to the sneezing panda. Will someone hand him a tissue?

Forward to: anyone who enjoys visiting the zoo

 

“Ed and Oucho”

www.youtube.com/

Ed and Oucho the Cactus are CBBC characters, featured in many YouTube clips. (The CBBC is the British Broadcasting Corporation’s channel for children.) In this clip Ed is battling hay fever, much to Oucho’s dismay. The pile of wadded-up tissues in front of them just keeps growing.

Forward to: Anyone who enjoys a British sense of humor

 

“Allergies be Gone”

www.youtube.com/

A boy has a super allergy multiplier quantum destroyer. Alas, he blows himself up trying to open the thing. The facial expressions are great and the young actor does a great job with different voices.

Forward to: anyone who has ever accidentally sprayed himself or herself in the face with an inhaler
