As the world slowly begins to stagger its way towards opening up after extended CoVid19 lockdowns, if there’s one paradigm that’s looking unlikely to budge much, it’s the concept of work-from-home. Companies are still wary of opening up their offices at full strength given the risk of infection in large gatherings and many are considering making work-from-home a mainstream, well-beyond-the-pandemic norm. Twitter recently announced that it’ll let its employees “work from home forever“, Facebook and Google will have optional WFH for the rest of the year, Indian IT consultancy TCS will be making 75% of its workforce permanently work from home.

With news of such massive steps taken by large companies in, the concept of work from home is here to stay. And Youtubers, comics and other content creators have weighed in on it with their humourous videos, and we all could do with some good laughs during these strange times. So, here are some of the funniest and relatable work-from-home videos out there.

Bon Jovi’s sleeper hit ‘Livin’ on a prayer’ gets a new work-from-home avataar in this parody video created by the channel JigsawHealthTV.  The high-energy video hits the right notes and gets you grooving with the all too familiar work-from-home tropes like wearing sweat pants all day, locking the kids outside when taking a call,  and “watching Netflix cuz it’s all we got” all set to the iconic song’s music.
