What's your go-to YouTube clip when you need a pick-me-up?
This is a bit of a strange one, but bear with me here, whenever I'm having a rough day and need something to make laugh, I watch some bloopers from the little-seen 2014 indie dramedy, The Skeleton Twins starring Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. I know, it sounds strange, but I assure you this video is three minutes of pure bliss.
This hilarious set of outtakes is just Hader and Wiig trying to make each other break by saying increasingly absurd things in increasingly absurd accents. (I have been saying, "I leave my socks everywhere, they're good luck charms!" to so many poor souls over the years who have, understandably, no idea what the hell I'm talking about.)
It's not just the ridiculous things they're saying that makes me laugh so damn hard, it's watching these two comedy soulmates interact with each other. There's nothing better in this life than having a friend who makes you laugh yourself silly, and vice versa, and this clip embodies that very spirit.

So what's your favorite, albeit, random YouTube clip that you go to whenever you need it?
Loveeee this clip! Adding it to my list of things to make me smile when I’m sad. This is probably very old and outdate but Jimmy Fallon and Will.I.am singing “Ew!” Always makes Me laugh.
If you love Bill Hader, you'll love Alan:

This one always does it for me when I need a heart explosion, though:

I LOVE that blooper real from Skeleton Twins! I've returned to it many times over the years.
Mine is Taran Killam dancing to Call Your Girlfriend during a night of writing at SNL. It never ceases to amaze me how spacially aware the man is.

The Del Taco shoot from SNL gets me every time:

Also, news and game show bloopers. My favorite one from the UK version of Family Feud:

That Kristen/Bill one is a TREASURE, though.
