Comedy makes everything better. A good laugh usually does the trick when you’re feeling bored, angry or sad. It’s no wonder that comedy movies and standup show specials have no trouble selling out. But there are times when leaving the house isn’t an option. That doesn’t mean you can’t laugh until your sides hurt. If you know which parts of the internet to scour, you can bring comedic relief into your living room or bedroom. With most people spending a lot of their time in front of a screen, two questions come to mind more than usual: “What should I watch?” and “Which snacks should I enjoy my screentime with?”. The answer to the first question is simple: something funny. But not just anything will do; it has to be a comedy that’s tuned to the pulse of modern South African life. Enter Aromat Comedy Club. Whether it’s a skit about freeloading guests who overstay their welcome, or a short video about payday blues, you’ll laugh until your sides hurt as you watch comedy influencers navigate familiar situations. Now to figure out what to eat. Well, you have a few options. Here are five: Popcorn This is the default movie snack for most people. Like burgers and fries, bacon and eggs or peanut butter and jelly, you can’t separate popcorn from movies. Skip the salt and pair your popcorn with Aromat seasoning. The all-purpose seasoning salt alternative is a welcome substitute to the blandness of plain salt. Nachos Nachos are a serious contender for the best snack in the world. It doesn’t get better than tortilla chips topped with cheese, meat and peppers. The best part about nachos is that they’re made for sharing. If you’re watching a comedy with someone you live, nachos are the best snack to enjoy together. Pizza Few things in life are better than pizza. Whether it’s Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken, Pepperoni or Margherita, the gooey goodness of a few slices of pizza are usually enough to fill the emptiest stomachs. Binge-watching a comedy series can make you work up an appetite before you realise it, so make sure you order a large pizza. Once again, there’s no need to use salt and pepper if Aromat is within arm’s reach. Pretzels This knot-shaped baked pastry snack scores a 10 when it comes to versatility. They can be enjoyed alone or as part of a snack platter and can be eaten plain or with dips and seasoning. However you choose to have them, make sure you stock up on enough to last you through your binge-watching session. Fries You don’t need to order a burger to enjoy a serving of fries. Although fries are usually a side dish, there’s no reason they can’t be the main event. In fact, it’s not uncommon for some people to have fries on their own.
