Silliness may not take the Sad totally away, but it at least lifts it for a few minutes:



It's a guy, in Downtown Tokyo, dressed as an Imperial Stormtrooper, doing disco moves to Earth Wind and Fire. Best part (IMHO) is about midway through when he's dancing on the subway, and there's this guy off to the right of the screen who is doing his best to ignore the fact that a guy dressed as a Stormtroper is dancing next to him.

(Yeah, I know: it's probably staged. Because most of the randomly amusing things on YouTube seem to be, and also because I don't think any Tokyo subway/train is that uncrowded).

I like it because it's random and the different components of it don't seem to go together. I like it when incongruous things are mixed up.
