Having a sense of humor is an important trait that, despite being widely enjoyed by pretty much anybody who doesn't have a stick up their you-know-what, is a wildly underrated hack for wringing a small yet crucial piece of extra enjoyment out of life. The world would be a much greyer and more boring place without those jokesters who have no problem turning almost anything into a punchline.

Amongst other things, this is because most of us (not so) secretly thrive on the chaos that something funny can bring. One of the places where this can most clearly be seen is on the internet, where the maddest of lads are emboldened to pull pranks and tell stories. Whether clowning around, taking revenge, or simply living in the moment, these absolute legends are a lesson to all of us to seize the day when it comes to being silly. We salute this banter.
