Humor is a great way to deal with social distance and isolation during a pandemic. That is why the team of the Museum of Humor and Satire in Gabrovo has presented a series of 20 humorous video stories starring popular Bulgarian personalities. Through them, viewers can be "loaded" with healthy doses of laughter, dances, cartoons, ridiculous ideas, gags, humor and satire. The short videos can be found in the museum's Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages. The video stories are presented in the form of "video vaccines" against bad mood. The claims that laughter prolongs life is not just a cliché, but a scientific fact as stress relief has a positive effect on health and strengthens the immune system, in addition to significantly improving our mental state, the initiators of the project say. The museum’s motto, written by poet Radoy Ralin, is: “The World Has Survived Because it Has Laughed!"
