Feeling sad? Depressed? Irked? Downright pissed? Hey, it happens to everyone, but it also impacts your ability to get any meaningful work done. What you need is one good belly laugh, which can banish those bad-mood demons and help you get back to the business at hand. Here are five YouTube videos offering guaranteed guffaws, starting with the Python classic up above:

Extreme Funny Just a silly stage show for people who like silly slapstick humor.
Flight of the Conchords - Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros You'd be better off renting the HBO series and watching this entire insanely funny episode, but this song is a great start. Slightly NSFW.
Flight of the Conchords - Business Time Okay, one more. And it's business-related. I defy you not to laugh. Also slightly NSFW.
Monty Python - Argument Clinic Actually, just about any Python sketch will do, but I've always loved this one.
