Spreading the joy of laughter on a train

Man's laughter cracks strangers into bursting fits of laughter on their ride home from work on a Tuesday evening.

Big thank you to Peter Schupp for such authentic joyful laughter.

The fact that humans find other humans' laughter funny, which leads to more laughter and then even more laughter, is perhaps the greatest thing ever.

Imagine sitting on a bus like this every single day, where everyone talks and laughs with eachother. I think the world would look like a paradise

My mom loves to tell the story of when she and my dad were on a plane which got delayed. My dad who started watching a Mr. Bean movie (his favorite) didn't even realize they never took off. So he was happily giggling and not realizing that every time he laughs so do half of the other passengers. Everyone lost it when he asked my mom if they're landing soon.

Someone said "Laughter is the best medicine"😁

I would love to see a comedian try doing this in public and make everyone laugh for free lol

My father told me as a kid, "smiles are free, so give them away." Thank you Dad!

Finally a prank or social experiment where the people are genuinely laughing at the act and not being disturbed or stressed by it

I love the fact that although everyone was initially holding back, they couldn't help it but laugh out loud later. Laughter is truly contagious😂😂😂😂

This happened to me once. Me and a friend were laughing hysterically on the train till we cried with laughter and people all around us were laughing. I never felt such joy till then

[paulbaty]

I love how the dude just trying to read his book eventually cracked a smile, truly a special thing

We did this in church when I was 17.

The pastor opened the sermon saying, "did you know laughter was contagious?"

Then she started laughing. And same as here, slowly but surely.. we all erupted into laughter😂😂 took us a minute to come down from it. To this day idk if she intended to waste 30 minutes of her sermon, on laughter, but its still one of my favorite moments.

I cried when a friend told me he once contemplated suicide but changed his mind in a Bus filled with people who broke out in uncontrollable laughter. According to him, someone literally said in the Bus that life is worth living even if it's just for moments like this. Little did they know that they saved a life that day.

[Makinel]

this is the only kind of prank we need. Everyone is happy, and no body gets hurt.

[TheDepressedMemeCat]

We all have that one friend whose laugh is funnier than the joke

[trynafind_annie]

People are so much prettier when smiling ❤

[fredrikschroder]

Did you notice how beautiful everyone was with their big smiles on their faces? Just wonderful!
