    Economics bias:



    Also, I recommend the Ken Robinson TED talk on creativity in education, which has some high points for humour.

    I played this for DS. We didn't know who Schrodinger's cat was.

    So, I found this: Wikipedia

    DS said, after seeing the picture, that the cat may be alive in another dimension.

    ....Mom, can you put a thumbs-up and a happy face? smile

    Sometimes Monty Python's humor is absolutely brilliant, and sometimes they're slapping each other with fish. We watched the entirety of The Holy Grail on Youtube, and there are various Flying Circus clips available as well.

    Showing my age... here's some stuff on the English language that a 7yo can appreciate:

    I haven't watched any episodes of that. DS saw that it was on and seemed intrigued by the title of the show, however.

    Is it appropriate for a second grader's innocence? I don't want to field questions on sexual humor, for instance.

    That Gallagher was funny. I'd like to share George Carlin with DS when he's older.
    He likes vintage things. He listens to 40's big band music, for instance, so please, show your age with your suggestions! (I'm 47 so I may have you beat!)
    DS enjoys Mr. Bean. Of course, he likes humor without words. I recently introduced him to Charlie Chaplain. A fave for him is my collection of Pink Panther cartoons, of which too many would be considered inappropriate for children today.
