Spot on! I would add “Deanne Didn’t read” and “Trudy tech challenged” and that’s my book club in a nutshell

[@akb3536]

#nailedit 🤣

[@erinjohnson9873]

Yep!

[@marcellabrowning315]

😅😅😂

[@tinaperez7393]

"Charcooch!" is TOTALLY the drunk term for "charcuterie". 😂🤣😂

[@mindyr7302]

Shark coochie is how it gets put to me when I arrive with an almost well put together board. 🤬

[@deblawrence8341]

My friends and I just started a book club and our first meeting is tomorrow! I can't wait!!! We're doing something a little different. Instead of selecting a specific book, each month we're picking an author, or a genre, or a time period, and each member selects their own book to read and then talks about it. We've done this at casual gatherings in the past and it worked out so well, we decided to make it an actual thing! I'm going to share this video in an email with my friends right now. 😊 Btw, my favorite books are the classics, mostly Victorian classics, but since this month is Black History Month we decided to select something honoring black history. I read James Baldwin's "Go Tell it on the Mountain" and was blown away by his amazing writing and story telling!

[@jobethk588]

I relate to Kim's desire to stay home and Penn's ADHD. Plus they are creative and funny.

[@cutesquidthulu9659]

Your dog in the outtakes was hilarious.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Not sure if Sunny likes Tammy

[@muppet-fan]

@@holdernessfamilylaughs That's because dogs are the BEST judge of character...and Tammy is exhausting.

[@kc7280]

Sunny: This is NOT right

[@dominickriegle8447]

I will say, I never watched this channel before however my wife and I are huge Amazing Race fans and "getting to know" Kim and Penn through that show and we freaking love them! They are so funny. Now we're definitely following their channel. Absolutely love the content, great job Kim and Penn!!!

[@stonesbytheriver2441]

Watch the parody on Hamilton for masks and I knew zoom was trouble. Those are 2 of my favorites. Oh, and how fashion is created and every hallmark movie 😀.

[@elizabethrainbolt9443]

I agree with Healing Stones. This family has helped lift my spirits so many times during this pandemic. I love Penn's songs, they are amazing. My favorite thing though is when they are doing skits and speak for each other. Hearing Penn's voice pretending to be Kim, and vice versa, is so hilarious!

[@lizsummer5724]

Nailed it! I’ve seen, and been, each of these types

[@icedog1123]

Thank you for putting a smile on peoples faces makes life better

[@llamasugar5478]

I led a Great Books club one summer. We got through A Tale of Two Cities (“I know, guys, hang on through the 200 pages of character/plot development and I promise the last 100 pages will have you ugly crying”), but we were kind of stuck at Taming of the Shrew. Then I remembered that “10 Things I Hate About You” was playing down the street and was supposed to be based on that very play. We happily ditched our books, loaded up on popcorn, and settled in.

[@tinaperez7393]

How many kids does Tammy TooBusy HAVE?! Maybe Johnny is one of the twins! 😂 Also, now that alien romance movie with Edris Elba NEEDS to be made!

[@robertbowman448]

It makes sense. She and her husband were getting "too busy!"

[@hollyshinn1274]

Six

[@tinaperez7393]

This group needs to solve crime. Or meet over True Crime. They each have so many different strengths and perspectives to bring to any situation.

[@richardmahn7589]

Everyone one the Internet can solve crime now. And give medical advice. *Yawn*

[@tinaperez7393]

@@richardmahn7589 this was a joke. These characters are make believe but hilarious and their solving or covering true crime would obviously be a comedy and was an idea that was funny to me. If you're going to wear your grumpy pants do that to go kick rocks not people. 😩

[@tiffanymichaels2429]

@@tinaperez7393 😆 go kick rocks. Love it and going to use it. I find some awesome comebacks in comments. My favorite is "who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?"

[@patriciadurham643]

My name is Patti and I am a planner. 😂😂😂😂 I love Penn as Tammy Toobusy!!! I have that hoodie he’s wearing!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@tinaperez7393]

I was in a Perkins restaurant around 1: 30 one day and there was a table of what looked like four retired old ladies playing bridge. The waitress said they were among the "regulars" and came the same time same day every week.

[@djcaptainronj]

Penn rocking out looking like Andy Dick circa 1995! Love you guys! ❤️

[@renamendel2662]

LOL! I knew he reminded me of a character on Newsradio back in the day, but I couldn't remember his name! Thanks!!! 😆

[@jayes8191]

Y’all were amazeballs as usual, but the Sunny cameo stole the show. 🥰 🐶 📚

[@evadedenbach1226]

I miss my bookclub. Thanks to COVID, I haven't seen anyone since June of 2020. This was hilarious.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

I hope you can get back together soon!

[@sesamemom98]

My friends invited me to their online book club. They still meet IRL, but I live in a different part of the U. S. from them, so I like being able to participate virtually.

[@tinaperez7393]

I totally relate to Nancy Nevershow (although I'd def try to show up in person - but I relate to the feelings - I knew the eye level was totally deliberate and would never go lower). And my sister is the Tammy TooBusy. BUT I've learned an EXTREMELY valuable lesson from that sister over the years - she gets a TON done including lots of time for real fun and active recreation outdoors with her family but so much of the time she always seems so hurried and chaotic and multi tasking. Her what I call constant "half-a&&ery" can be very frustrating. BUT it gets things done. It also helps her that she can strangely live in the present quite well and has what seems like NO sense of shame or embarrassment and often no sense of self awareness how she comes across to others. And oddly, I see that as a strength and is inspiring to witness more often than not. From watching her and spending time with her I've developed the mantra "half-a&&ed beats no-a&&ed every time, all the time". I have perfectionist tendencies that I'm always fighting cuz I'm aware of how much they can get in the way and be anti productive. So this half-a&& stuff is great for someone like me to keep in mind and practice. Cuz perfection is absolutely the "enemy of the good" as the saying goes. Can't get everything done? What CAN you do and just do that. Just doing SOMETHING will build momentum and: Momentum = Completion.

[@prynkya]

Lmao. Loved Darla. Wanna see Olivia's head explode. Yessss!

[@melindapayne6078]

Tammy Toobusy! 😆😆😆

[@XxbreeberryxX]

Yall make make laugh so much, I always look forward to your uploads! Penn reminded me of Garth (Wayne's world) with that wig and glasses vibe. And I loved your response with never show Nacny about tilting the laptop camera🤣🤣🤣

[@laurabuckles7961]

I've never been to a book club but I've been to a lot of study groups and recognize these folks. I'd add Suzanna Silence, the one who shows up every single time yet never says a word during discussions. Not. One. Word. Sometimes it was me. 🙂

[@KristiWilson]

That’s me. Suzanna silence. I prefer to sit back and soak in everything. Mentally digest. By the time I do, they’ve moved on to the next question.

[@laurabuckles7961]

@@KristiWilson Exactly!

[@JulieStones]

Puppers: Are you sure you are my human?

[@ayanasdollyworld5630]

One of the best part of these videos are the wigs.

[@tracybaldwin5626]

Love this! Thanks for the laugh. I have to say when I got the email today from you that said "Welcome to Book Club" I got excited. I thought you were legit doing a book club with your community. I loved the video, but wanted to ask -- why don't you do a Zoom /FB Live/KZbin Live book club with your community? You have fun, like-minded peeps who follow you and it might be a fun way to connect monthly. You could start with your book. Just an idea. Move over Oprah and Reese! Also want to say I relate to your family on so many levels. I'm Gen X, parent of 2 teens and a tween, Amazing Race fan, ADHD household, lover of 80s music, etc. Your videos really resonate and make me laugh just when I need to. Thanks for making the world a brighter place!

[@kryxena]

I would love this!

[@kellybroady6378]

I am in a card club, one of the ladies is also in a book club and they have a member that never reads the books, like ever. That cracks me up. One of the other members is demanding she be kicked out. Ah, book club drama.

[@tngirlz4622]

Somewhere between Nancy Nevershow and Tammy Toobusy right here! I agree, Zoom book clubs are the answer! a) You can include people who live far away, b)you don’t have the hassle of making snacks suitable for paleo/vegan/gluten free (but not for medical reasons, it’s her way of dieting) people and c) you can mute the mike, turn of the cam and argue with someone that three paragraphs does not constitute an ‘essay’, and that their sibling’s breathing cannot possibly be distracting them to the point that they can’t work because they’re wearing headphones, and you can hear their music well enough THROUGH the headphones to tell what song is playing. I heard of someone who belonged to a movie club once, where they all watched the same movie and discussed it - maybe that’s the answer? Love your work, your comedy is always spot on!

[@tinaperez7393]

Tammy TooBusy has the hairiest arms of any mom I've ever seen. 😂

[@AskAgainL8ter]

I’m a combo of Tammy and Nancy. The kids keep me super busy, so I never show for adult things. Being an introvert doesn’t give me motivation to go either. 🤷‍♀️

[@stephen3164]

The Kims were all awesome - but Penn was cracking me up the most. But Kim was amazing too!

[@Klfarlowe]

You guys are the best! Always spot on parody. Loved Nancy Noshow!

I feel Penn when he says "who has time to read a whole dang book"

[@lanawolf5681]

I love the outtakes and extras. Also, include the dog more :-D thanks for sharing your talents. So fun!

[@jessp.5173]

The dog at the end!! Well everything, but I love when the dog makes a cameo.

ZOOM BOOKCLUBS! That's what I'm missing in my life! Sounds actually perfect. The only thing missing is the charcuterie board!

[@josephreininger5672]

You guys are hilarious! What a fun family. You all are good enough for SNL!

[@kevindrake4529]

Kim is so funny. Her satire is spot on. I really appreciate all of these videos. Way funnier than anything on tee-vee.

😆 apparently I’m Tammy Toobusy

[@tinaperez7393]

I dunno. Most Tammy TooBusy's don't have the self awareness (or time) to recognize themselves I'm others! 😜 I mean, that would involve a moment of self reflection and that doesn't seem like something they make / have time for! My sister's a Tammy - but there many times I wish I could be more like her - time for self reflection can be overrated!.🤔😁

[@jeremyud]

I was part of a book club for a few months in 2013 at a library and they've refused to take me off despite sending them emails asking to get taken off. I really think I'm probably a numbers padding whenever the book club reports the amount of members they have to the county budgeters.
