It’s been a big year for that guy who whistled on an 80’s talk show. For one thing, I didn’t even know about the guy who whistled on an 80’s talk show until this year. And now I do. It’s hard to have a bigger year than that, really.

Actually, my seeing this video was about the extent of the year for that guy who whistled on an 80’s talk show. It’s not like the video happened this year. That show is probably off the air by now. The kid, watching from the back? He’s probably emerged from his whistling-induced catatonia and gone on to… well, probably not a lot. Thinking about the time he saw that guy whistle on an 80’s talk show, I suppose. And trying to whistle himself every so often, which fails because he can’t close his mouth any more than this:

Finally, phrases like “there goes those balls again” have been relegated to Jersey Shore; no talk show uses them now.

The one bright spot? The mullet of that guy who whistled on an 80’s talk show. You know that thing is still with us, and thriving.
