This hilarious skit shows how we chase happiness and self-improvement through purchasing and acquiring more stuff. Most people, if they are being honest, will likely agree that they have done this a time or two. Watch this short but hysterical clip that pokes fun at people who believe that having more of this or that will equal happiness and fulfillment.

Everyone has things they want to do and achieve in life. Since we are all individuals with unique personalities and characteristics, our goals and dreams will likely differ greatly. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having dreams and striving for this or that. We all daydream and look to the future, imagining having completed that dream, goal or task. But no matter what, we all just want to be happy. That’s ultimately what everyone is after.

However, some people are under the false impression that they can buy their way to happiness. If I just buy this item, it’ll do the trick and I’ll finally be happy. That’s the message that advertisements are constantly pushing, and people fall for it all the time. If they have this or that, then they’ll be good enough, and the happiness will just come flooding in.

A clip posted on YouTube captured this idea perfectly and hilariously. The husband, while impersonating his wife, is standing on an odd contraption as he attempts to maintain his balance. Then, the first words out of his mouth sum up precisely how some people try to purchase their way to happiness and well-being.

“Honey, don’t laugh,” he says. “This, no, don’t laugh. This is it. This is the solution to my problems. It’s going to regulate my emotions, somehow. It’s going to regulate my hormones. Don’t know how, and it’s going to make me less reactive to my Aunt Linda’s Facebook posts.”

From that point forward, the short skit just gets more and more ridiculous as he puts on more and more strange-looking products and talks about their supposed benefits and what they can do for him.

Proverbs 16:20 “He who gives attention to the law of right will get good; and whoever puts his faith in the Lord is happy.”
