Updated September 8, 2021

If you're gonna survive in this world, you better have your wits about ya. A little bit of clever thinking can go a long way and, really, it seems more and more surprising to see anyone being genuinely clever these days. But I'm not talking Elon Musk levels of clever here, I'm just talkin' about your everyday brilliance — the kind of people who made us laugh by doing something different!

So today, we're taking a look at just that. These are the kinds of LOLs that can only come from those fleeting moments of brilliance that you just gotta respect!

1. Now, I'm not condoning cheating here...but if you're gonna do it, ya gotta do it right.

2. You don't have to be very old to outwit your elders.

5. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome!
