Mornings suck. So every morning TNG brings you a fun video to help ease the pain.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

before there was the Snuggie…

and before there was the Slap Chop…

there was the Hawaii Chair.

And when there was the Hawaii Chair, Ellen Degeneres, of course, felt the need to obtain one and try it out on national television.

When I first saw this video of Ellen trying out the Hawaii Chair, I think I watched it six or eight times in a row. It’s that funny. I shouldn’t be surprised, I guess, since I burst into giggles at pretty much anything Ellen does, and in this video she tries to function while seated on a vibrating, gyrating chair meant to TIGHTEN YOUR ABS! and LET YOU EXCERCISE WHILE YOU WORK!

Anyway, it’s the video I turn to when I hit that afternoon lull at work and need a little pick-me-up, so I figured it would be perfect for today’s Morning Upper. The only thing that would make it better? If Ellen was wearing a Snuggie or operating a Slap Chop at the same time. And if she cleaned up the spilled water with a Sham Wow. Infomercials are comedy gold, my friends.
