71% of us consume social media because we want to laugh, and 59% of us do it because we like to see a good story. The truth is, we don’t need any social networks to be entertained. To experience both of these in one take is easy when there’s a lively sense of humor that runs in the family.
Being able to make your relatives and strangers laugh is an art, and Bright Side gathered 20 people who blissfully showed off their funny side and nailed it.
