Time to see what makes Loungers smile!
For me I love cute/funny animal videos. I love British panel shows like Mock the Week and Would I Lie to You - everything is funnier when said in an accent. Also fart humor (I have sophisticated tastes) -- when I am super sad I find those farting Preacher videos and laugh until something leaks.

(20,196 posts)in church"?
Well, a friend told me that he was in a church full of wooden pews, without cushions. It also had marble floors. So someone let one rip right in the middle of the sermon, and it just REASONATED throughout the sanctuary. At first there were some muffled giggles and you know how hard it is to make yourself stop laughing. So a few more people get the giggles and the pastor pauses, trying to keep his composure. But it was no use, he started laughing too.

Twenty-five years ago, when I met the RG and we were dating, I wondered what he did in the evenings. One day, by chance, I met a neighbor of his. I asked the neighbor what he did in the evenings and the neighbor said, "The best I can tell is that he sits in the Florida room and pets the cat."
I knew it was !

(10,558 posts)The 'Red Dwarf' is a Deep Space Mining ship that once held hundreds of people. It is adrift through space and time with 4ish-5ish primary characters left aboard. The "Swirly Thing Alert" clip posted above takes place on Red Dwarf's scout-ship 'Star Bug'.
From Wiki:
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dwarf )
"The main characters are Dave Lister, the last known human alive, and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram of Lister's dead bunkmate. The other regular characters are Cat, a lifeform which evolved from the descendants of Lister's pregnant pet cat Frankenstein; Holly, Red Dwarf's computer; Kryten, a service mechanoid; and, as of Series VII to Back to Earth, Kristine Kochanski, an alternative-reality version of Lister's long-lost love. "
The series itself started way back in 1988, was never intended to last longer than a season or two but due to popularity and demand from it's cult following it has never truly died. New seasons sporadically keep popping up and apparently there are more Red Dwarf related shows moving on through 2016-2017.
I own a Red Dwarf T-Shirt with Holly's head on it and the word's "Smeg-Head" below. It's a collectable which I rarely wear but when I do I am always amazed at how many fellow Red Dwarf fans come up to me. I am surprised that you were unaware of Red Dwarf. If 'British Humor' makes you laugh, you are in for quite a treat.
(I smiled the entire time I watched this mashup of Red Dwarf's Theme Song just now)
That's enough chit-chat out of me about Red Dwarf IrishEyes, I'm off on a mission so: "Smoke me A Kipper And I'll Be Back For Breakfast"

(38,317 posts)They are singers too, which can be annoying when they sing back to emergency vehicle sirens.
Anyways, they'll sometimes come up to me and ask for something by talking. I'm certain the noises they make are exactly what human language sounds like to them.
This always makes me smile. They are always so very sincere and straightforward when they talk like that, sometimes with one paw resting on my leg..
One's a husky, so almost any YouTube video of a talking husky is a good example.
On the other hand I hate to endorse huskies in any way. Their current popularity is not a good thing. Ours is a rescue. Many are abandoned by people who can't handle them. Huskies enjoy the company of people but they are difficult dogs in many ways. They shed insane amounts of hair, they are escape artists, they are destroyers of gardens, and unlike most dogs they are not motivated to do party tricks like shake hands, sit, lie down, retrieve sticks... not for tasty treats or any other reward.
They'll just look at you like, "Why?"

Watching the outside critters enjoying themselves. Yearling moose playing tag with crows in the blueberry bush, hen turkeys herding their kids thru the backyard, the woodchuck refreshing his breath with my mint, the hummingbirds sampling the honeysuckle. Makes me happy they feel so comfortable.
Listening to my favorite music, watching my favorite movies, reading a good history book, a nice cuppa tea.
Watching the spousal unit enjoy something I cook for him.
Helping him can stuff for the winter and the inevitable power outage.
A nice OP on DU, like this one
