We all need a laugh every once in a while. In fact, if you’re like me, you need a good laugh, (I mean a really good laugh) even more frequently than that.
Without a good laugh when you need it, you could quite literally go bananas. At the very least, you could grow cranky and maladjusted. No one likes a crank.
With the technological advances of platforms like youtube and Tiktok, laughs, (real laughs) are never more than a click away.
In fact, Dr. Patch Adams built a whole clinic based on the power of laughter therapy.
Here is panoply of perhaps the funniest TV sketches in Television History. If these sketches fail to make you laugh, you may need different therapy.
1) Monty Python: “The Front Fell Off
2)Key and Peele: “Walk Button
3) Bob Newhart: Stop It
4) Alan King: Survived By His Wife
5) Key and Peele: “Front Hand Back Hand”
6) Taxi - Elegant Iggy (Jim Plays Piano)
8) Goodtimes: “My Name Is Lenny”
9) Curb Your Enthusiasm: “The Survivor”
