Obvs corona is not funny. We have already lost a family member and another in intensive care right now.

My own personal coping mechanism through this all has been to find the human spirit, courage, creativity - and sense of humour - in the face of adversity.

Not found a simlar thread on MN, so starting one with my top 3 "funnies" (not right word, but YKWIM - uplifting, lightheated etc...) to date....

Please please share if you've got your own faves! (

If not to your taste, a polite request to please simply move on.

Covid-19 in Playmobil. This is my take on things, amateur, but hopefully amusing.

Oh, and this one... Especially the little one.

Makes an alternative for killing each other!

I bow to your genius and creativity @SoMuchToBits - hope it's helped keep you and yours amused! Added to my watch list now.

I do wonder, if we'd had the internet in previous generational crises (World Wars I and II, Cuban Missile Crisis, The Plague, etc.), what mankind would have produced for prosperity...

Thank you Willy! I've had fun putting it together and it's something to take my mind off work etc.

Pamela pumkins quarantine workout by Laura Clery, my children love dancing to it!

HellsAngel81 · 13/04/2020 10:16
Love this one
Willybumbum · 13/04/2020 10:56

Great one @FirTree31!

I think I might mainly be talking to myself on this thread, but fell down an internet rabbit hole last night so lots to share still...

Willybumbum · 13/04/2020 11:01

@HellsAngel81 had never heard of Chris Mann before this, but yes he's done some really creative ones.

Some people have really gone for it. I won't post all the individual songs, but the Holderness Family have put heart and soul into some of theirs:

Holderness Family Songs to Fight the Gloom

This guy has also gone to town from his living room over the last couple of weeks

www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2522597801325741 if the link works - it's the cover of Victoria Wood's "let's do it" which I always loved anyway. (Guy doing it is a bit smug though)

Bohemian Rhapsody

real respect to the job this guy's done of Barenaked Ladies
