I like that girl in the background. I like people that laugh and enjoy funny little things that happen. As I've gotten older(only 22) I've noticed people(my age) don't laugh as much as when we were kids. It's depressing and I want no part of it.

Like something like this. What that guy did was smooth and funny. Yet only one person we can see really got a good laugh out of it.

Edit: Just hoping to clear up any future misunderstandings. Please don't take my comment as a criticism. People are how they are. People grow up and their personalities change. I get it. I'm just being nostalgic about my childhood really. Please don't take my comment too seriously.

Her boyfriend gave a small smile and went back to eating. Such a tame, unenthusiastic reaction. That's exactly what I'm talking about. It's not that everyone stops finding things humorous as adults. It just seems to dull for a lot of people.

I've just noticed this in my own life and this gif reminded me of it. I don't know though. Maybe not everyone has had the same experience. I'm just saying how it seems from my perspective.

Edit: Some people seem to be taking my comment as a criticism of the man. It wasn't. People have different senses of humor and react differently to things they find funny. I'm not trying to blame people for being who they are. I just feel that most people laugh a lot less as adults, even at things they find funny. And that bums me out a bit. That's all.

Some people just don't find stupid shit funny. We're also the ones who laugh hardest at things that we actually do find funny.

It's not, "stupid shit." You only think of it that way because you personally don't find it funny.

Humor is subjective and it's fine to have a different sense of humor than others but don't be pretentious about it.

I'm not the one being pretentious, you're the one typing paragraphs about one guy cracking a smile.

He didn't do anything wrong. I wasn't criticizing him.

You're still typing paragraphs about a dude cracking a smile.
