Is there anything more devastating than showing a friend a funny video and they don’t laugh? Good thing this comedian has some funny videos for you – no pressure

Difficult to beat.— charlie Charlie owns Twitter and this list could quite easily be made up exclusively of his tweets.
Emmeline Downie is my best friend and the funniest person human civilisation has yet produced. This is the only video of her publicly available on the internet.
