It’s January and if you’ve got the blues, there’s no better therapy than having a chuckle. Laughter is such a personal thing, but there are definitely some universally hilarious things out there. Here are a few contenders:

• Animals doing funny things: Ever seen a cat startled by a cucumber or a dog trying to catch its own tail? Animals can be endlessly amusing!
• Babies laughing: There’s something irresistibly funny about a baby’s uncontrollable giggles.
• Internet memes: Whether it’s “Doge,” “Distracted Boyfriend,” or the many bizarre TikTok trends, memes are a constant source of humour.
• Comedy shows and films: Classics like “Top Secret!“, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” “The Office,” or stand-up specials from comedians can always tickle your funny bone.
• Dad jokes: They’re so bad, they’re good. For example: “I used to play piano by ear, but now I use my hands.” Here are some of our dad (or should that be bad?) jokes >
• Unexpected moments: Sometimes the funniest things happen when you least expect them. Slipping on a banana peel? Hilarious (if nobody gets hurt, of course).
• Surprise fails: Fails that happen in the most unexpected ways can leave everyone laughing.
• Classic pranks: The old whoopee cushion trick or fake spilled drink gags can still make people laugh.
