As technology rapidly develops, everyone can access limitless online videos far and near, high and low. Thousands of videos have been uploaded to various platforms at all times. When people want to pick up a random video to relax during their lunch break, three videos can be ideal for being short and fun.


It may sound inconceivable, but videos of small furry animals are arguably the most popular ones among the masses. These videos are short, a clip of a kitten jumping or a puppy trembling, usually less than a minute but long enough to rewind people who have a rough morning due to a long, tedious meeting or class. Recently, there’s especially a Japanese anime going viral soon after its release, receiving an effusive reception from fans and critics. Pui-Pui Molcar, a.k.a. Pui-Pui Guinea Pig Cars, spawned endless internet memes and aroused interest in raising guinea pigs. Pui-Pui Molcar has been acclaimed as a feel-good, no-dialogue animated series that contains sub-three-minute episodes, which accurately relates to why videos of animals are ideal for a lunch break.


Stand-up comedies can be dialogic monologues or grouping humorous jokes and stories. Within a few minutes, performers recount trending topics or current events in their stylish, usually ironic way and crack their audience up. Thanks to their performance making a complex subject or serious issue digestible for the crowd, the audience also learns what’s happening worldwide as having fun during their lunch hour. Stand-up comedies are also many people’s favourites, and there’s been a growing current in Taiwan in the last few years.


Unsurprisingly, vlogs from celebrities are always welcome. According to some research, the popularity of vlogs in the YouTube community has risen exponentially these days; out of the top hundred most subscribed YouTube channels, seventeen provide vlogs as their primary form of footage. Besides newspapers or magazines, vlogs satisfy people’s insatiable curiosity and desire to pry into celebrities’ lives. Since there won’t be any plot in a vlog, people can click the pause and watch it later when it’s time to return to work or class from their lunch break.


A good rest helps workers or students bounce back. With numerous types or genres of online videos on the cloud, when people try to chill out for a limited time, animal snaps or amines, stand-up comedies, and vlogs from celebrities are agreeable to leave a lunch break.
