Sometimes, it seems like the world is a pretty dark place. If you turn on the news or even log onto the internet, you’ll probably see some messed up stuff. It’s no wonder some of us feel like everything’s terrible.

So, what do you do when it seems like everything’s 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, they’re ready with a joke.
Humor is one of those things that remind us everything’s 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 aren’t so bad after all, especially if there are people like this around.

Having children is wonderful, but it can be hard to drink a hot cup of coffee while you have toddlers around. This coffee shop gets it by knowing its demographic.
