In the fast-paced world of social media, it’s easy for iconic memes and reaction videos to fade into the rear-view mirror over time.
However, a Twitter thread has recently gone viral that’s imploring people to share humorous clips that are guaranteed to illicit a laugh or two, and it’s bringing out some nostalgic clips and a few hidden gems.
“Please quote tweet a video that never ceases to make you laugh… I need a good laugh right now,” the user wrote, thus opening up the Twitter flood gates.

With the wave of responses to his tweet and with his “good laugh” presumably secured, the original poster issued a follow-up to share how grateful he was for the funnies.
“When I tell y’all I needed this laugh, I really needed it. I’m cackling at all these videos. Thank you everyone,” he wrote.
