    I often feel the need to lighten my mood, especially lately, and YouTube has really helped me in that regard. If YouTube existed when I was in university I probably wouldn’t have studied for a single exam. There are many things I watch on there when I feel the need to laugh. From standup comics to clips from old tv shows. Lately I’ve been rewatching Jiminy Glick clips. Anything on there that you like to watch for a laugh?

    I watch The Trailer Park Boys, The Office (English and American versions) and 30 Rock on Netflix. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen each episode of all three of these shows but they always make me laugh.

    Love of all those shows. Trailer Park Boys is Canada’s gift to the world.

    30 Rock is nearly always really funny and worth rewatching on Netflix, etc.

    Some movies are hysterical the first time you see them, but fall off a bit on the second. Comedy often works that way. Once you know the gags, etc. etc.. An example is a really early Mel Brooks film, The Twelve Chairs. First time I saw it, I laughed so hard it literally hurt. Second viewing decades later, I still liked it a lot. But the belly laughs were gone.

    Classic belly laughs here, from Robin Williams (on golf):

    Not sure why, but right now it is Big Bang Theory. I like Sheldon Cooper. I know the character is quirky, but I find it entertaining.

    I don’t actually watch tv much. For laughs, there’s a long long list of stand-up comics I watch online, along with John Oliver. The list is too long to even name any. I also like loopey vids of various “crazy” things, like the Russian vids of implausibly bad (but never fatal) things happening to people.

    Real Time.

    Really, really missed it last night. Silly of HBO not to have it on more often running up to the election.

    For a quick YOUtube fix, Flying Circus skits usually do the trick.

    This always works for me.
