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. Making a scene

Congratulations, Shirtless Drunk Guy With His Entire Chest Painted: You are no longer the most embarrassing thing at this baseball game.

You see, this is why they cut off beer sales after the seventh inning.

2. That's a fault

Wow, "Challengers" looks even crazier than expected!

3. The power of nature (warning: some NSFW language)

Now I just want to see that famous image of workers eating lunch on a steel beam hundreds of feet above a city ... but with beavers instead of people. Make it happen "Zootopia 2," aka "2topia."

4. The daily dog

Today's pupper would rather not fetch today. 

Good Monday energy to bring into the week, doggo.

5. Snack attack

Look, it's live footage of me going grocery shopping with a budget. 

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.
