1. Toilet Water by Jamie Linn Watson
There’s a same-iness to comedy videos that are made for Facebook, mostly because for some reason we all decided that the only way to go viral is to put the conceit of the sketch in big block letters, like someone with a megaphone standing next to you yelling THIS IS THE JOKE right in your ear.
But there’s a looser, more freewheeling type of comedy video that tends to go well on Twitter and Instagram which I really get a kick out of. There’s no pressure for the video to be “relatable” – just funny. This one by American comedian and actor Jamie Linn Watson is a great example of the form, about a girl who for some inexplicable reason gets toilet water all over herself, and tries to be cute about it.
