Say what you may about Ellen DeGeneres, but we can all agree that she's always tried to find the funny side in a situation, even if it's something that should be as mundane as mowing the lawn.

DeGeneres left the talk show scene in 2022 after allegations ran rampant about her running a toxic workplace, so when President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, it seemed the perfect time for the entertainer and her wife, Portia de Rossi, to look for greener pastures, namely in the U.K.

Instead of traveling a lot, the former talk show host has developed a hobby of flipping houses, which gives her different projects to work on, followed by a fresh location and "new perspective" to live in for a while.

She's already flipped more than 50 properties, and the latest is a beautiful property in the Cotswolds region of the British countryside, and the yard is made up of rough terrain—wide, rolling hills and vegetation that will challenge even a high-quality lawnmower.

But DeGeneres decided to give it her best try on a lark. And, thinking this new adventure might lead to some comedic moments, de Rossi decided to press that record button—and the results did not disappoint.

DeGeneres starts off mowing slowly on a large yellow riding lawnmower, sporting her new look of dark brunette hair.

But then the video cuts to a scene of DeGeneres and the lawnmower creeping back up one of the property's steep hills as a man attempts to push them back up. The incline proving too steep, the video cuts again, this time to both DeGeneres and the man pushing the lawnmower and de Rossi giggling in the background.

You can watch the video here:

Some fans were thoroughly entertained by the attempt.

It's unclear how much of DeGeneres and de Rossi's decision to move to the U.K. was based on the presidential election or what they will do when future candidates are sworn in, but it's clear for the time being that the pair are enjoying the fresh air, change in lifestyle, and of course, trying new things.

The Trump Administration Just Canceled Major Funding For Alzheimer's Research Due To 'DEI'—And People Are Beyond Furious

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

We've all heard of the "five-second rule," where when you drop a piece of food on a safe surface, you can still eat it if you've picked it back up within five seconds. Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
