Hilarity in the Time of Pandemic

This is too good not to share:

Feel free to add your favorites!

P.S. I put it in this category because staying at home and repurposing things are totally mustachian traits.

P.P.S. And not that this pandemic is funny, but if humor helps us all stay safe, I'm all for it/

That's awesome! And you're right, the pandemic isn't funny, but humor can definitely help us stay sane. John Oliver's second coronavirus episode had a TikTok hamster video on handwashing, wearing a mask, etc. that was adorable and hilarious. (https://youtu.be/_066dEkycr4?t=688)

Some of the videogamers I watch on YouTube have been doing a lot of gameplay together, playing silly, goofy games that make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts:

And I've been watching back episodes of "Would I Lie to You?", (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZO6aPugMrZjUOobX7IQDA) which is funny enough I'm actually thinking of paying for BBC America.

I've been searching out as much humor as I can, just to keep my brain from spiraling into depression.

I was going to start a new thread, but then I remembered this one. You know the person who forwarded this is a true friend.

"I hope they give us two weeks notice before sending us back out into the real world.  I think we'll all need the time to become ourselves again. And by "ourselves" I mean lose 10 pounds, cut our hair and get used to not drinking at 9:00 a.m.
 
New monthly budget: Gas $0  Entertainment $0  Clothes $0  Groceries $2,799.

Breaking News:  Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended. Not so  much to stop COVID-19, but to stop eating.

Low maintenance chicks are having their moment right now. We don't have nails to fill and paint, roots to dye, eyelashes to re-mink, and are thrilled not to have to get dressed every day. I have been training for this moment my entire life!

When this quarantine is over, let's not tell some people.

I stepped on my scale this morning. It said: "Please practice social distancing. Only one person at a time on scale."

Not to brag, but I haven't been late to anything in over 6 weeks.

It may take a village to raise a child but I swear its going to take a vineyard to home school one.

I wanted zombies and anarchy.  Instead we got working from home and toilet paper shortages. Worst. Apocalypse. Ever.

You know those car commercials where there's only vehicle on the road - doesn't seem so unrealistic these days ...

They can open things up next month, I'm staying in until July to see what happens to you all first.

Day 37:  The garbage man placed an AA flyer on my recycling bin.

The spread of Covid-19 is based on two things:
1. How dense the population is.
2. How dense the population is.

Appropriate analogy: "The curve is flattening so we can start lifting restrictions now" = "The parachute has slowed our rate of descent, so we can take it off now".

People keep asking: "Is coronavirus REALLY all that serious?"  Listen y'all, the churches and casinos are closed.  When heaven and hell agree on the same thing it's probably pretty serious.

Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller wearing a mask and ask for money.

Home school Day 1: I'm trying to figure out how I can get this kid transferred out of my class.

Putting a drink in each room of my house today and calling it a pub crawl.

Okay, the schools are closed. So do we drop the kids off at the teacher's house or what?

For the second part of this quarantine do we have to stay with the same family or will they relocate us?  Asking for myself ..

Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We wander around the house looking for food. We get told "No" if we get too close to strangers and we get really excited about going for walks and car rides.

The dumbest thing I've ever bought was a 2020 planner .."

Those are very good Dicey,

Anyone see the pic of Evander Holyfield with the mask hanging off one side of his face with the caption "Thanks a lot Mike Tyson!"?

Best one I've seen was the Da Vinci Last Supper painting remade as a Zoom meeting.

Okay @gatortator, one good turn deserves another. Here is a video of the Die Maiers trapeze act. Very funny.




I just checked. The link to vimeo works. It's hilarious.

This may be "too soon" for some folks, but I saw a photo after the first night of protests where someone tried to break into an Apple store. The glass frontage had several impact marks, but no serious cracks or damage. The caption read "Hey Apple, how is you can encase your store in unbreakable glass, but my screen shatters whenever I think too hard?"

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
