They say laughter is the best remedy, and honestly, with the barrage of dismal news and the usual mayhem of family life, I could really use an endless supply of giggles. When I need a little pick-me-up, I might binge-watch Schitt’s Creek, dive into Arrested Development, or enjoy some episodes of The Office. Sometimes, a good read from authors like David Sedaris or Luvvie Ajayi fuels my laughter, especially when paired with a binge on Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I might even share some hilarious and colorful memes on social media.
But when my spirits are particularly low, I have a guaranteed source of joy: watching videos of people falling down. It’s remarkable how there are two types of people in this world—those who find joy in watching others take spectacular spills and those who just don’t get it. If you’re unsure which camp you belong to, check out this little gem and see if you don’t find yourself laughing uncontrollably.
Now, let’s be clear: I’m not a cruel person. Many would describe me as genuinely kind. Sure, I have a bit of a sailor’s vocabulary, but I pride myself on being polite and compassionate. I can’t stand rudeness, and my empathy runs deep—I even tear up during commercials for cleaning products! But when it comes to watching falls, I’m unabashedly entertained. It’s like when a doctor taps your knee, and suddenly, your leg kicks out—it’s just instinctual. And I’m not just talking about a light chuckle; I’m talking about rolling-on-the-floor, tears-streaming-down-my-face, full-on hyena laughter.
Of course, I always assume the individuals involved are okay. I would never wish harm upon anyone. But if someone is going to slip, why not share a laugh, right?
I’m also an equal-opportunity giggler. A while back, my spouse, Max, and I checked on our kids before heading to bed. Upon entering the room, we saw our youngest son, Jamie, suddenly wiggle off the bed. He landed with a thud and a groan. Max rushed to help, while I bolted from the room, cackling. Max looked at me in disbelief. “You laughed at our son falling out of bed!” he exclaimed, horrified. “I know!” I gasped between fits of laughter. “Did you see how he just flopped over?”
I even find humor in my own clumsiness. One time, at dinner with my in-laws, my husband and I were wrangling our two untrained puppies (who, truth be told, are still not fully house-trained after all these years). After dessert, feeling helpful, I grabbed some leftover plates and practically skipped into the kitchen. I attempted to leap over the metal dog gate separating the dining room from the kitchen, but my shoe got caught. Instead of a graceful move, I tumbled over like a clumsy gymnast, flying across the kitchen floor and landing near the trash can, surrounded by scattered plates and crumbs. My husband rushed to my side. “Are you okay?” he asked, panic in his voice. I could barely respond through my laughter, tears rolling down my cheeks. “I fell!” I managed to say, and honestly, it was downright hilarious.
Just thinking about that moment still cracks me up years later. And don’t even get me started on the time I fell off a treadmill or slipped on ice, resulting in surgery. Hilarious, I tell you.
At this point, you’re either nodding in agreement or staring in disbelief. Either way, I’ll leave you with this video for your daily dose of laughter. You’re welcome!
