Sometimes, it seems like the world is a pretty dark place. If you turn on the news or even log onto the internet, youโll probably see some messed up stuff. Itโs no wonder some of us feel like everythingโs terrible.
Just take the average millennial. Their generation came of age with 9/11. Since then, theyโve experienced a housing crisis, student loan debt, a wild political arena, and a failing job market. Thatโs not even to mention climate change, rising sea levels, and polluted oceans.
So, what do you do when it seems like everythingโs bad and getting worse? You do exactly what humans have always done. You keep laughing.
People with a sense of humor are often the ones who keep everyone going. They know how to deal with crises big and small. Even when the situation appears hopeless, theyโre ready with a joke.
Humor is one of those things that remind us everythingโs going to be okay. They say every cloud has a silver lining. Here are 30 people who are funny enough to remind all of us of that. See? Things arenโt so bad after all, especially if there are people like this around.
