Everyone has moments that fill them with amusement and a bit of embarrassment. From acting goofy in front of significant others or being a clown in an environment where silence is key, these mischievous moments make life worth living. Here are some hilarious things that we all have done and are secretly guilty of doing.
Getting Bored and Procrastinating
We all need a break from our to-do list every now and then. Everyone gets bored and distracted and leads to procrastination which leads to hilarious situations. Some of the things that many of us are guilty of doing is scrolling mindlessly through our social media feeds or eating unhealthy snacks when there’s nothing to do. Other procrastination activities include doodling in class, having too many unnecessary breaks, watching funny videos, playing silly games, talking to friends and family, organizing our workspace, or working on a project way before the deadline.
Making Awkward Comments
When we are uncomfortable or nervous in a particular situation, it is inevitable to make awkward comments that counterfate to make the situation even more awkward. Making comments that don’t make sense, random thoughts, or blurting out loud something that is already in our head is a common phenomenon that we are all guilty of doing. While it is okay to be yourself and let your natural thoughts pour out but when it’s done in the wrong situations, it could lead to some funny reactions.
Being a Good Actor
When someone is in an uncomfortable situation they tend to become a great actor and put on a good show. We do this by acting in a way to fit in, or creating a false alibi when in deep trouble. It is funny to watch someone act in a way that is completely out of character, it’s even funnier when the other person doesn’t realize it. Everyone is guilty of acting at some point throughout their life, some of us are just better actors than others.
Saying Too Much
We all know when it’s time to leave a conversation and keep the details of our life to ourselves. But sometimes, when we want to make an impression or want someone to hear our opinion, it’s easier to say too much and keep talking. Although this may be hilarious to the audience, it’s not very fun for the person who overspoke.
Being Clueless
From not knowing the right words to say, or the right thing to do, being clueless in certain situations can be embarrassing. Everyone knows what it is like to feel embarrassed when you don’t know the answer to a question or mistake a word for another one. This could lead to some reactions that are pretty funny and although this is something that we all want to avoid, it is definitely something that we’ve all done at least once in our lives.
Making People Laugh
Although we can’t always make people laugh, when it happens, it feels good. It’s a great feeling especially when someone catches on to your joke or pun. Being able to make people laugh is a gift, although many don’t use it in the right way. We’ve all been guilty of playing the fool at some point in our lives, but it’s the people who use humor to make the best of situations that can bring light to any room.
Staying Silent When Necessary
Sometimes, a group of people can be having a conversation and nobody notices that one person is completely silent. But when it gets to the point where someone has to shout out that the quiet person is there, it can make for a hilarious situation. Everyone has experienced this, maybe even been the silent person in the room, but no matter what it always makes for a funny moment.
Usage of Blooper Reels
We all know and love blooper reels, whether it’s from classic television shows or major Hollywood movies. Blooper reels celebrate the mistakes and funny moments that were caught during filming, and although those moments may not have made the cut for the final version, they still can be hilarious. Whether we are watching a show or re-watching our favorite movie, blooper reels always bring us joy and laughter.
Watching People You Don’t Know
When a group of people are talking, we as onlookers can find entertainment in everyone’s conversations, even if we don’t know the person they are talking about or to. It can be funny when we overhear snippets of conversations, especially when someone is telling a story and the other person has no idea what is being said. We all have been guilty of eavesdropping in order to get some late-night entertainment and although it can be awkward at times, it is something we’re all secretly guilty of.
Making Fun of Ourselves
Seeing the lighthearted side of life can be difficult without having a sense of humor, but making fun of yourself to make others laugh is a great way to lighten the mood. Making fun of yourself isn’t always easy and it can be embarrassing at times. To be honest, we all make fun of ourselves and it’s something that won’t go away anytime soon. Life can be a lot easier when you take a step back and have a laugh at yourself, it takes the edge off of certain situations and can be a great icebreaker.
Humor is a great way to lighten the mood and bring joy to every situation. Although some of the things we do or say can be embarrassing, they all have a comical side that makes life worthwhile. Everyone has their own moments where they can laugh at themselves, and these moments are something we are all secretly guilty of doing. So the next time you’re in an awkward situation, just take a deep breath and realize that you’re not alone in the embarrassing moments that happen on a daily basis.
