I LIVE to laugh. It is my most favorite thing in the world to do. Laughing brings me the most genuine kind of happiness I have ever known, so I try to do it as much as possible. I want to laugh everywhere with everyone, and laugh as hard as I possibly can. Not only do I take every opportunity I can to laugh, I seek them out. Vine was my primary source of entertainment in its prime, and I am well-versed in meme culture. Pretty much everything makes me laugh, but here are 10 things that I've found make me laugh the hardest.
1. When really sweet, innocent people say something you would never expect
Like when your quiet intellectual friend roasts someone so savagely you can feel the burns from across the room, or when the adorable little cinnamon roll down the hall says "Yea, being short puts me at a great hug height. Except when it's with tall guys because then it's just balls."
2. Religious memes
I may be a terrible person for laughing at memes relating to the Holy Book, but they're innocent most of the time and there's just something about a reaction meme paired with a parable from the Bible that gets me rolling every time.
3. When my mom does mom things
Including, but not limited to: waving at people she doesn't know because she thought it was someone she did know, "messing something up" on the computer and having no clue what she did, trying and failing to hide the fact that she's crying about sentimental stuff, and doing iconic mom dances. She is literally the sweetest thing on this planet and makes me laugh on the daily with her antics.
4. Melissa McCarthy
I don't even have words to describe how funny this woman is. Literally anything she's in is pure comedic gold.
5. The "iridocyclitis" vines
For those of you who don't know about this gem (and I HIGHLY recommend you watch it here), this is what happens when a kid in the national spelling bee gets asked to spell a funny word like "iridocyclitis" and the internet gets ahold of it. It was put into movie scenes, mixed into songs, basically anything you can think of. If you pass me walking and see me laughing at nothing, I am probably thinking about this.
6. When my roommate yells at her homework like its a person
It doesn't sound like it's a person she likes either, which makes it even funnier.
7. People falling
Now I KNOW I'm a terrible person for this one, but I just can't help it. The internet is full of videos of people epically failing and falling, and the humor I find in that has translated to real life. I am decent enough to keep ahold of myself to see if they're ok, but that's about as long as I can go before I lose it.
8. When old people pull pranks
They're always so excited about it, it's the cutest little thing. It just cracks me up.
9. My friends and their crazy stories
I don't know how I was lucky enough to be friends with people who have such weird stuff happen to them, but it makes my life so much better. I always have someone around to tell me a funny story!
10. Impractical Jokers
No one should be surprised by this. It is my favorite show, and if you haven't seen it I really think you should because it is hilarious. It's literally a show about 4 best friends from high school who are now in their 40s going out in public and making a fool of themselves and each other. It is brilliance.
11. Other people laughing
Laughing is infectious. If you start laughing, I will start laughing. The harder you laugh, the harder I will laugh. Being around another person who laughs at everything is a very dangerous game for me to play.
