Did y'all see Kohl's response? They presented her with enough masks for the whole family, $2500 in gift cards, what looked to be every single Star Wars product they sell and 10,000 bonus points. So I guess she is laughing all the way 'to the bank.' I saw that!! Crazy! hop2 thanks I googled and most links just had a piece of the video and it wasn't funny. So now your link had the whole thing. Whole thing is cute but no really laugh out loud kind of stuff I'm happy that she's happy but that's as far as it goes ya know. Good for her everyone deserves some joy!

I thought it was funny and made me chuckle. I would much rather watch that video 100 times than have to see the same people on my feed spouting off about the same political junk over and over, whether I agree with them or not.

I smiled slightly, but quit watching after about 20 seconds after her laughing started. It probably is one of those you had to be there things

I liked her unbridled joy but I didn't think it was hilarious.

Haha...I guess I am the odd one out here, I thought it was hilarious. Not because it's a clever joke or anything, but just because her humour was kind of contagious. I was properly laughing by the end.
(And, I like that she's not a Kardashian).

Just glad to know I'm not the only one who is not intrigued by it at all. I told DH when they rolled it on the TODAY show that it wasn't 'news' worthy.

I thought she must be a fun mom, and I did enjoy seeing her so happy over such a simple little thing. I'm sure I must have smiled while watching it because I do like seeing other people so incredibly happy over something. I didn't think it was the most hilarious thing I'd ever seen, nor would I want to be her friend because I'm a much more reserved person and I imagine I would get tired of the vivaciousness after a time. I'm happy to read that she is getting these gifts from Kohl's since she unwittingly did give them a great free commercial.

I stopped watching too. She looks like a fun person, but I could not understand how the video went viral. I giggled while watching the first part, but I found the build up more entertaining. I didn't find it all that hilarious either. As far as how the video went viral - I first saw it when Glennon Doyle Melton (Momastery) linked it on Twitter or Facebook. She has tons of followers, and if another 5 or 6 bloggers with tons of followers linked it I can see how it would go viral. ETA: I checked out Chewbacca lady's FB and she does seem like an awesome person and one I'd love to have as a friend irl. I'm just not a big fan of the video.

I saw part of it, did not think it was funny at all.
However, I love the mask and really want one. I played with it in the story at Christmas and laughed every time, so I can see why she was amused.

Her joy was really contagious to me and I found myself chuckling and/or smiling through the whole video, but everybody doesn't have to feel the same way about it and that's okay. I still love occasionally watching the wedding video where the bridal party all danced down the aisle. That kind of pure joy is just fun, to me, to experience every now and then, even when just watching from the sidelines.

Oh I thought I was alone! Tried watching it Thursday but only made it 1/2 way. So many people were texting me and sending me the link asking if I saw the most hilarious video. Yes I tried watching. after so many people posting and asking I thought maybe I missed the best part - NO I didn't - was she cute and fun YES she was. Do I want to watch it again NO thank you
I heard she'll be on Ellen next week

I was meh with the Chewbacca video, but loved the wedding video!

She was on my nerves so bad that I didn't even finish watching it. After I saw it was Star Wars she was pulling out of bag, I stopped. Doesn't take much to amuse some people!

She seemed like a sweet, joyful lady. I didn't make it all the way through, but I smiled.

I didn't think the mask itself was hysterical, but towards the end I started to laugh at her laughing. Definitely not the funniest video I have ever seen though.

My favorite part was how happy it made her and how willing she was to share her joy in it. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) I did think her laugh was contagious, but I did not watch the entire thing. I liked the build-up while she was getting the mask ready to wear, and the first few moments of her wearing it, but that was enough for me. But again, her happiness in something simple was what I really admired. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

It made me smile, her laughter at herself and her joy was contagious--but I don't think it was the funniest video I've ever seen.

Not funny.
However last night's SNL tribute skit to Dead Poet's Society made me laugh harder than I have all year.

I got a kick out of how tickled she was with herself and laughed because of that. She was awesome.

I thought she was very sweet and I found her lack of pretension and self-consciousness really charming. I didn't think it was hilarious - I didn't laugh out loud, but I did appreciate her humor and joie de vivre.

She seems fun-loving and genuine, but I am completely over the whole "viral video" phenomenon. I couldn't help but see this all over my FB feed, but it's pretty obvious what it's about. Good for her for having fun... I'm all for THAT. But, the video replays of other people's fun rarely seem to hit the mark for me. I guess it is a case of "you had to be there."

I usually hate every movie, video, etc. that is hyped because I go in with high expectations. I haven't watched it.

Doesn't take much to amuse some people! I think that is a great thing. I consider myself easily amused and I find this to be an enjoyable trait in people.
