Depression Busters: Humor Bloggers

The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. Humor and laughter can cause a domino effect of joy and amusement, as well as set off a number of positive physical effects. Humor and laughter strengthen our immune systems and help us recover from illness, as well as bring joy into our lives. The question is, how do we gain access to this priceless medicine?

  1. Hello beautiful TT, This is a great post! I too know laughter to be SUCH an amazing healer and “happy-maker”. I am blessed in that my sweetheart and I laugh every day. We even laugh when things are stressful in our lives. I’ve never laughed so much with anyone as I do with him. When I was younger and I was hurting I tended to want to hang onto my hurt or anger and now if someone even remotely makes I yoke I latch onto and run with it because I KNOW I will feel better. Nothing is worth passing up a chance for a belly laugh. I taught voice and sound at one point and remember reading how India has something like 60 – 70 laughing clubs where people get together every morning just to laugh. Dr. Kataria is famous for starting the movement in India. His link is: http://www.laughteryoga.org/
    Thank you for all the work you put into this post, compiling all these links. It’s very important that people NEVER forget to laugh. Love, RainforestRobin

    I also have a partner that I’ve been laughing with for many years. We have a Buddhist laughing meditation practice with friends and we get together most Thursday evenings.
    Love ya :)

  3. Thanks so much for including “Cabbages”, TimeThief. The interesting thing is that I also writer humor because it makes me happier. So I’m really delighted if it’s able to pass the chuckles and escapism on to others who need it. Nothing more satisfying than that!

  4. I’m honored, truly honored (see, I’m even removing the ‘U’ from honored)

    I recently discovered Monkey Fables And Tales and I’m addicted! I hardly considered myself a humour blogger till someone mentioned that it was funny! this is from a woman who cannot tell a joke and make people laugh, I leave them with that ‘ what you’re talking about Willis ‘ expression.

    Again, thanks :-)

  5. I am personally a believer that “laughter is, indeed, the best medicine”. As my affirmation said, I always find humor in everything. It helps relieve stress and tension brought by exhaustive day.

  6. Great line up for the morning humor highway!

    Laughter is the soul’s medicine, and it’s quite contagious – I wish more people would put forth the effort to laugh and smile than beotch their way through the day!

    Nice to meet ya!

  7. @Ben
    You’re right. I missed crotchetyoldman and momscrazylife too :(
    Oh well, that just means I’ll have to feature their blogs in another post in the future. :)

  8. This is a great list. I read a lot of those blogs, mostly because they supply funny original content you just can’t get anywhere else. Great stuff!

    …and, thanks for including Dead Rooster. I am tremendously honored.

  9. Ahh…thanks for the mention, and what a great list of bloggers you’ve included me in. Yes, laughter is the best thing when feeling down … without Seinfeld or Curb your Enthusiasm the last few years would have been unbearable! :P

  10. Such a great list of writers…can’t wait for #2.

    Laughter is such a wonderful gift…the more I laugh the better I feel…I’ve enjoyed early morning reading of some of those listed, for some time now…great way to start the day! :0)

    Cheers

    I enjoy reading your blog and chuckling through your adventures. BC is a great blogging community and our beloved cabal of clowns are an outstanding part of it. Dedicating a post to those who keep us sane and happy was a pleasure.

    No sooner had I published this and had a night’s sleep when I realized how many others humorists there were. I’m glad you’re looking forward to part 2 because I am too.
