las week Guardian Australia employees shared the things on the internet that have made them laugh the hardest in the past 12 months. We asked you to respond by sharing your online nuggets and, judging by what you came back with, you jumped at the chance to chuckle about Covid, the climate crisis and limbless croissants.
1. If store associates said what they really think
Scott Seiss to everyone in customer service, then or now. † bobgal
2. Tom Cardy walks a lot
The company of the walk. † subcutaneous fat
3. Oh deer
The June 28 New South Wales Covid press conference on: naked sunbathers afraid of deer and all translated into Australian Sign Language. Then the press was interrupted by some clown calling himself “The First Creator of this Earth” and trying to serve a subpoena to the Police Commissioner… Best. Birthday. Gift. Ever. † NucMed
4. The brains behind bird names
Are ornithologists okay? † ejnstn

5. Honest Government Advertising
All Juice Media satirical videos on YouTube† They’re all comic gold, but maybe not safe for work – at least without headphones. – finnfather
6. Scotty from Marketing
The hilarious parody Twitter account Scott Morrison PM of Australia (parody) † siameez
oops. I just realized I’ve been out of the office since December 2019.

7. ‘I’ve been vaccinated…I see it’s already working’
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve watched repeatedly this year. – Ephabee
7. Scary Snowman Strikes Again
The funniest thing is the annual outing for the Scary Snowman. While this year may not be considered the best, it’s still pretty funny, especially the little jig performed by many of the victims. † nadreck
8. An Unenthusiastic Guide to the Scottish Parliament
One of my favorites for 2021 was Eleanor Morton’s “Craig the Scottish tour guide” – including this one directly responsible for my overuse of the verb “boke”. † Aironician

9. Don’t try this at home
I’m just asking, can you drink a can of sparkling water and not burp? † mparker
10. The Creature of the Cracow Croissant
The story and photo of the croissant wedged in a small tree outside an apartment in Krakow broke me up. One woman thought it was an iguana waiting to strike. Apparently she waited two days before calling for help. † katrianah
