These can be stressful, overwhelming times, and we want to help – so to start your day with a smile, we're going to post five funny viral videos and memes every morning. Because there's no better time for a good laugh than during bad times, and we believe in starting the day on the right foot even when things feel like they're all going wrong.

Enjoy – then be safe, be smart and be healthy. We're in this together.

1. Congratulations, it's a ... give us a second

For me, the only way to do a gender reveal party right ... is for that gender reveal party to go wrong.

Something tells me this little girl didn't want a sibling. "Boy or girl?" "Neither, into space."

2. The daily dog

Today's pupper is the hardest working and cutest landscaper you ever did see.

But really, I've got some shrubberies and lawn work if he'd like to make a little extra money ... and by money, I mean treats.

3. It's a-me, Mari-awwww

This is the only time I've ever been happy to see a spiky blue shell.

4. Pand-dumb

I've only ever seen Winnie the Pooh ever bust this move out, and I'm not sure that's supposed to be the most accurate depiction of wildlife ever created.

5. A symphony

New song of the summer just dropped:

Bonus breather

To help you cope with the rest of your day, here's a little bonus breathing exercise to calm the nerves and provide a little digital therapy.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
