The coronavirus pandemic has been tough for Brits - and particularly heartbreaking for those who lost loved ones.
But despite the overwhelming feeling there is little to smile about, there is one place we have been turning to cheer ourselves up.
As the UK weaved in and out of lockdown, and new tiers brought new rules and often confusion, Brits took to social media to vent their frustrations - with hilarious results.
The pandemic led to some rather mundane things getting a whole new lease of life as people turned to humour during the dark times.
Things like scotch eggs, a daily jog and even the Nando's heat scale became internet sensations almost overnight.
Here we've rounded up some of our favourites.
Toilet roll
With fears around a national lockdown mounting, supermarket shelves were stripped of their contents in early March.
And there was one item that became particularly hard to get hold of.
No one really knew why - but toilet paper suddenly became the number one item to stock up on.
Some were lucky enough to find a pack hidden away at the back of their local corner shop, while others were left bartering with anything they could for a single roll.
Those who managed to return home with a roll in hand were greeted with cheers as the paper was placed proudly in the bathroom.
Luckily the great toilet roll shortage of 2020 didn't last too long, and shops were soon stocked up again.
But it's a time we won't forget in a hurry.
Going for a run
When lockdown did finally hit, Brits were told to stay inside - apart from for a very limited set of reasons.
Much to some people's joy - and other's horror - exercise was one of them.
Boris Johnson allowed us to go outside to exercise just once a day at first.
With gyms closed, people turned to other forms of keeping fit - and running was a firm favourite.
But it wasn't long before people started trying to trick the system.
Most people admitted they would struggle to go for one run, let alone more, but with limited chances to leave the house, the idea became tempting to many.
Jokes about donning disguises and dodging the police soon started to flood Twitter.
But people didn't have to wait too long before the prime minister gave them permission to do 'unlimited outdoor exercise' in May.
Unfortunately, it wasn't quite the freedom most were after.
The Nando's scale
When Boris Johnson unveiled his new Covid-19 alert system in May, fans of a certain spicy chicken restaurant got a familiar feeling.
Recognising the distinct colour scheme, Nando's customers accused the prime minister of plagiarising the chain's Peri Peri heat scale.
The prime minister told us we were starting out between Level 3 and 4 - Medium to Hot on the Peri-ometer.
The aim was to get down to a Lemon and Herb.
Unfortunately, that didn't work out.
Earlier this month, the scale returned - much to Nando's fans' amusement.
With cases rising again and the nation in another national lockdown, this time scientists recommended a move up - to Extra Hot.
Scotch eggs
Brits who had been waiting months for their first cold pint flocked to pubs when they reopened in July.
But trips to the local became more complicated for some when the government introduced a regional tier system for dealing with local outbreaks of coronavirus.
Under new rules, some venues would only be allowed to serve alcohol alongside a substantial meal.
Ministers thought the adjustment would be straightforward considering pubs already have rules around only serving punters under the age of 18 if they are eating too.
But the British public wanted to know - exactly how much food do we have to order to be allowed a drink?
"What about a scotch egg?", one journalist asked environment secretary George Eustice.
A scotch egg "probably" would count as a substantial meal, he replied.
But his colleague Michael Gove later suggested "a couple of scotch eggs" would only make a starter, before eventually admitting it would count as a substantial meal.
Hearing ministers debate the status of one of the country's much-loved snacks over breakfast was certainly one of the stranger moments of 2020, but it kept many of us entertained on social media.
Some restaurants even joined in by creating their own takes on a substantial meal with scotch eggs as the main ingredient.
Haircuts
With hair salons forced to close due to lockdowns, Brits faced another dilemma.
Let lockdown take its toll and grow out the carefully maintained hair cut you did have - or take on the challenge yourself?
It's fair to say quarantine cuts had varying amounts of success.
While some considered a new career post-lockdown, others were glad the stay at home message meant they could keep their new do to themselves.
But many took to Twitter to share the results - both good and bad.
With limited options, some even let their kids have a go.
Even celebrities were left having to go DIY.
Hairdressers were clearly met with a challenge when salons began to reopen following the first lockdown.
After another few weeks of closure, appointments will likely be snapped up quickly once they open their doors again this year.
Video calls
Video calling has featured heavily in almost everybody's lockdown.
Pub quiz? Video call. Work meeting? Video call. Yoga class? Video call.
It seems virtual chats are hard to avoid these days.
But luckily, they have been a consistent source of entertainment.
Getting a rare glimpse inside someone's home has been a highlight, especially when a rogue toddler or family pet wanders into shot.
And who knew accidentally applying a filter to your camera could have such hilarious consequences?
We're looking at you lawyer cat.
But, a lockdown highlight for us all has surely been the unprecedented drama of the Handforth Parish Council meeting.
The lockdown fatigue might be leaving many of us rolling our eyes at the thought of yet another virtual drinks night.
But, whether its Zoom, Google Hangouts or Skype, we have to thank them for the laughs.
