Popping Culture: Anderson Cooper titters like a schoolgirl

No, really he does.

On last night’s segment of The Ridiculist on Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper decides to deride Dyngus Day.

Apparently Dyngus Day is a real thing, a day celebrated mostly by people of Polish origin, to celebrate the end of Lent. Cooper keeps it together rather well during his segment, but upon the mention of pussy willows, he loses his shit and starts to giggle. For over a minute. Though “titter” really is the better word, don’t you think?

It reminds me of a scene in John Waters’ Serial Mom.

I can never look at pussy willows seriously since I saw that movie. And now, since I have seen that moment, perhaps, even Anderson Cooper. Because he titters like a girl. But then again, when I can’t stop laughing, I sound like Muttley from Wacky Races.

Personally, I hope Anderson has a really good sense of humour and puts himself on The Ridiculist for his laugh. I’ll gladly join him.
