We could all use a laugh

March 20, 2020

I’m going to be real. Things sort of suck donkey butt right now, and I think we could all use a laugh. So, I collected some of the shows/podcasts/books/whatever that make me actually laugh out loud.  Keep in mind, what I find funny, you might not, so mileage may vary, but I’m listing some really funny things.

Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural (Web Series)
Ryan and Shane are hilarious. I’ve probably watched these episodes two dozen times and I still laugh at Ryan’s expression (and okay, his fear—I’m a terrible person) and Shane’s wittiness. This is free on Facebook, Youtube, and Amazon.

Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime (Web Series)
Unsolved crime cases don’t sound like something that would make you laugh, but again, Ryan and Shane will have you snort laughing as they say what we’re all thinking. The great thing about Supernatural and True Crime is that the episodes are short. This is also the bad thing. I wish they were longer. This is free on Facebook, Youtube, and Amazon.

True Crime Obsessed (Podcast/ Free/Patreon)
Again. Sounds weird to say crime is funny, but like with Ryan and Shane, Patrick and Gillian say exactly what we’re thinking when we’re watching the ID Channel or the newest documentary. Of course, a lot of the material is dark, but if you like true crime stuff and giggling inappropriately, this is for you.

VEEP (HBO)
This show is definitely not going to be for everyone, but it has some the best and most creative insults I’ve ever heard, it’s surprisingly educational about the political system, and Gary steals every single scene he’s in.

Any “What I expected to look like during the apocalypse vs. what I actually look like” meme thread.
Honest to God, I never related more nor have I snort-laughed as much as I have to any of these Twitter threads, proving that social media can sometimes be a very, very good place. And look, the coronavirus is serious and it’s scary, but laughter in the darkest and most uncertain times can be a balm for a weary, scared shitless soul.

Wallbanger by Alice Clayton (ebook/print/audio)
Wallbanger was the first book to ever make me laugh out loud. If you like steamy romance with your giggles, this book is for you.

Talladega Nights (movie)
Never been a big comedy move fan, but this and Step Brothers kill me. I don’t know what it is about the two movies that allow me to watch them whenever I see them and still laugh at the utter ridiculousness, but when it has lines like “If you ain’t first, you’re last” I can’t help it.

Step Brothers (movie)
See above. Same reasons. Also, bunk beds.

Honest Trailers (Youtube)
These are super funny, pointing things out in your favorite movies that even you can laugh about.

Tropic Thunder (movie)

This movie. I can’t. Everything is so gloriously dumb

Gay of Thrones (Web Series)
You need to have watched Game of Thrones to watch this Funny or Die web series. It even made me laugh about the final season.

I hope some of these bring some laughter to your life. Comment with a web series, video, book, TV/movie that makes you laugh!
