AmFam's Stand Up for Family Comedy Makes for Fun Times and Recollections

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Family Insurance for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

AmFam, American Family Insurance, has recently released a series of family friendly comedy skits featuring five different prominent comedians. The series is titled Stand Up For Family. The comedians appearing the net videos are Bill Bellamy, Rodney Perry, Mark Viera, Donnell Rawlings, and Tony Roberts. Some of the comedians are better than others but they all tell fun, accessible anecdotes.

I absolutely LOVED all of Rodney Perry's segments. His discussion of Poppin' versus the modern phenomenon of krumpin' was hilarious, particularly when he picked a reluctant audience member to help him out. I also really enjoyed his advice for women (he pointed out that for every flaw we have, somewhere there is a man who likes nothing but that) and his commentary about raising six children. Rodney Perry's delivery and animation were truly unbeatable.

Mark Viera was also really funny. I particularly liked his grandmother sketch where he mocked her leaning out the window minding the neighbor's business in her apartment house in the Bronx. Grandmothers are always exceedingly well-informed about local happenings, whether they live in the big city or the rural areas that my two grandmothers inhabit. Mark's bit about Corn flakes is also quite good...who else can relate to never being able to get the good cereals when you were with grandma. It was Corn Flake and Raisin Bran city...all the way. Some days I would get lucky and Mom and Dad would let me take a box of Fruit Loops or Cap'N Crunch down to Mamaw's house! (Not that I didn't have other kinds of nice food there...nobody made biscuits or corn bread like my Mamaw...nobody...it's just that sometimes cereal would really hit the spot.

I think its really cool that AmFam made these videos with these great comedians, kept them family friendly, and put them out there for the world to watch. A good joke about someone elses family always makes me appreciate and love the wacky parts of my family better.
