I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today and neither lolcats nor the misery of others could lift my spirits.A Then I started watching YouTube clips of John McEnroe‘s tennis court tantrums. This is a great way of safely channeling psychotic rage. Please play on.
I’m too mesmerized by the short shorts to hear what he’s saying!
hehe, that video has made me laugh so hard!!! thank you so much! john mcenroe was pure entertainment!! and who doesn’t have one or two of those mcenroe moments a day. a week. a month. soooooo often 😀
My god. I forgot how crazy/awesome he was.
I’m watching this at work, and 2 people just looked over to see why I was laughing so hard.
I remember some of these. They were the best part of watching tennis.. beside Jimmy Connors of course, who I thought was a cutie when I was growing up.
Gads! I just dated myself.
He reminds me a lot of my boss, except Earl cusses more.
When I was a kid we called those kind of shorts “doinks.”
And once your rage has passed, you can laugh at his silly hair.
Ah HAHAHA! Thanks Wendy! I was having a crappy day today too! This video is awesomely cathartic.
🙂
this just made my day! i feel like i spent a good 45 minutes on a therapist’s couch after watching this. phew.
Go ahead YELL and kick the wall twice. It always makes me feel better 😮
He’s always scared me….When Brook Shields married him, I thought for sure she would show up as a crime headline.
Who knew that one man’s rage could one day bring so much joy? 🙂
1) My anti-spam word was beyotch, which is awesome.
2) Is it wrong that I’m kind of attracted to very angry McEnroe?
I’m feeling kind of bitchy myself. I think I’ll just go yell at the neighbors.
I loved him when I was in high school; now I remember why.
I love a good Johhny Mac rant!
wooo hooo vicarious relief!
We need another colorful character like Johnny Mac in today’s tennis. Roger Fed is so dang cool, a wee bit of entertainment can’t hurt, he’s already got the record anyways! =)
Ha, he sounds like a little kid tattling on his sibling.
Speaking of little kids, these are my own cheer-up Youtube videos involving cute kids:
Star Wars according to a 3 year old
Charlie bit my finger
David after dentist
Hey Jude
I thought Lolcats could cure anything 🙁
OMG! I think those tight short shorts went to his HEAD and made him irritable!
You DEFINITELY should! The more grotesque, the better. xo
Holy crap he’s insane, lol.
Wonder what his tally was in fines, for all the rants?
Did you ever hear him talk about the Williams sisters? It’s crazy..wonder if they have that on youtube as well;-)
such a BIG turn on!!!
am I bad or am I bad?
xo*
Hope the mood lifts soon my dear!!!
Brilliant, love it! How entertaining was he no wonder we rushed home from school to see him when it was Wimbledon.
Hahaha, hilarious! Hubby quite often quotes the post title in moments of anger/frustration. 🙂
xx
there is always someone grumpier in the world!
HA! your spam word ‘buy aring’ made me chuckle out loud. i kind of like john mcenroe in spite of his craziness. i think he understood the idea of performative TV waaaaaay before reality TV was invented. 😀 who knew tennis could be so scandalously fun??
The only thing nuttier than his tantrum is that outfit!! And the hair!!
xoxox,
CC
Fan-fucking-tastic!
I needed this, today!
Hmmmm… So this is Will Ferrell’s muse when he has to act ‘angry’… (e.g. ‘Get OFF the SHED’, or ‘Mogatu’?)
ps – almost as funny as your favorite Family Guy clip
Checking in to see how you’re doing…..
I had totally forgotten about his afro. And the rage! You should act like this in public once. I think I yelled at my to-be husband like this once on the street, but as I remember he deserved it, dammit!
That is one craaaaanky dude.
oh that’s too funny. i love that you did this.
first time Ive visited over here and you’ve got me with the first thing I read! love it : )
memories….
and i love the lemon post below. 🙂
His antics always have high entertainment value.
Oh dear!
He cannot be serious! That guy was fighting with the umpire more than he was playing tennis. I love how the video captures him in all ages (eventually white haired) and still throwing a tantrum!
Johnny Mac, don’t ever change!
Another thing computers have ruined: the art of the disputed call!
