A light hearted look at Covid!

Covid Humour is difficult right now for many of us. Our daughter just getting over 9 weeks of long Covid made us all anxious. So many folk are missing friends & relatives. Covid is still out there so laughing about it isn’t easy.

But as GG13 said it’s gallows-humour. If we didn’t laugh about it now and again we’d cry. I know I’m more emotional these days as the year has unfolded.

It has affected businesses too. People’s incomes etc.

However, in the spirit of this thread here’s my offering ....

I liked this

Love that one, trisher

I'm not opposed to laughing in the face of adversity . I just didn't find the article particularly amusing

However, I do read the Daily Mash.

I find that very amusing .

But not to everyone's taste

The Do They Know it's Covid is OK but not a patch on the Donald Trump/Hilary Clinton one

I'm liking that one. MissAdventure

I can see why some people don’t appreciate this thread but, it is easy enough to anticipate the content from the title and post. Avoid reading further.

I am loving some of the cartoons.

Love that, trisher

It made me smile (sort of; I know it's a difficult time)

If you think things are bad, think of Santa's problems!

It's great, MissA. Just sent it off to DGS1. He'll love it.

Wasn't keen on the Locked Down Bethlehem but I like the principle of gallows humour.

Merlot you can’t please all of the people all of the time...

Not offended at all.

If we can't joke about our troubles, it will only be harder to get through them.

The Littlejohn missive was ok but not one of his best I thought.

I prefer his take on day to day news items, his ‘you couldn’t make it up’ kind of thing.

He can be serious and scathing too, particularly about the way we are being treated by the EU.

What would he know, he lives in Florida!

Riverwalk does he indeed??
The absolute cheek of the man!

(Merlotgran this has turned out better than I expected, I like some of the cartoons, so apologies - not that I've got anything to apologise for - oh, you know what I mean! )

The YouTube videos, jokes and cartoons are funny and clever. The article was ok but missed the mark for real humour. I like a bit of black humour.

I believe he splits his time between Florida and London.

Thanks for the list, Ailidh. One of our DGDs has a 'build your own crackers' game lined up for a Zoom session on Christmas Day. I'm going to nick a few of the jokes for mine.

So sorry...but I don’t think there is anything covid related that can make me chuckle now. However....in the very early days, before I realised how serious it is, I did laugh over a YouTube clip of Tom and Jerry. A real cat sneezes, and then the cartoon starts. Tom rushes into the bathroom to ‘ sanitise’ himself. It’s far too raw now though.

Strange that people are prepared to accept that humour saved a lot of sanity in both our World Wars.

oh, I thought the op was going to be about Bethlehem in Carmarthenshire, Wales! It was on The One Show last night and showed the children of the village doing a Nativity Play a much nicer theme than the op.
