Top 10 Laughing Baby Videos
by David K. Israel - June 9, 2010 - 7:34 AM

Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for babies. Even before I had one, I was the guy who Oooo-ed and Awww-ed over ‘em. And what’s better than laughing babies? I mean, laughter is contagious anyway. But laughing babies? Fugetaboutit. Here, then, to help you get over the hump this hump-day, are our favorite ten:

10.

Let’s warm up with one of my personal favorites in the “What’s-so-funny, baby?” category.
9.

8.

Talk about “a little devil!”

7.

Okay, so he’s (?) not laughing much. But I bet YOU will!
6.

5.

The camera angle of this one is particularly effective.

4.

Don’t love the editing, but couldn’t find the original of this classic…

3.

Twin boys! “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!”

2.

So there’s actually three-in-one here! But I think the first of the lot is actually the best. (And you’ve already seen #2, so you can forward through that.)

And the number-one video goes to… (not only for the amazing baby, but the video as a whole. It’s just wonderful.)

  5. This one is just adorable. The dog clearly loves playing with the baby, and the kisses are too much.

  6. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  7. None of them made me laugh.

  8. i vote for the quads in unison. laughter is so crucial for humans. comedians are doctors.

  9. This is not MentalFloss. This is something I would see on Bored.com, Cracked.com or collegehumor.com. I’m disappointed in you, David.

  10. Awww, can I share mine?

  12. love love LOVE the laughing quads!!!

  13. I think Baby Laughs At Spoon is fantastic.

  14. I’ve seen a lot of laughing baby videos in my day (also, you’d be surprised by just how many videos are on youtube of babies laughing hysterically at their parents with cases of hiccups), but the one of the quadruplets (that is what they are, right?) is ridiculous in the best possible way. :D
