Humor is an integral part of our lives. Even some scientists have repeatedly said that laughter prolongs our lives.

That's why today we decided to share with you different types of humor and examples of their use (check the picts) 🤣

We would also like to share some videos that will cheer you up in this terrible rainy weather (greetings from Lviv) and help you practice your listening skills:

Mr Bean's Top 10 Moments | Mr Bean
Rowan Atkinson - "Fatal Beatings"
The Ones That Make You Laugh | Friends
The Funniest Moments In Talk Show History Compilation

Vocab from the pictures 👨‍💻:

vice - immoral or wicked behaviour
exaggeration - a statement that represents something as better or worse than it really is
by mishap - an unfortunate accident
inept (slang) - generally incompetent
prop - something you use as a support (like a broom that serves as a prop to hold a door open)
