Jimmy Fallon Asked What People Are Doing While Bored In Quarantine And Here Are 30 Of The Funniest Answers
Boredom sparks creativity. Think about it. As you’re laying there in a fetal position, saving lives by staying home, your restless mind is running errands. You start daydreaming in no time—wandering around the house like a lone pirate planning on terrains to conquer.
So when Jimmy Fallon announced his new hashtag challenge #ImSoBored|, it was destined to hit close to home. “Tell us a funny thing you’ve done to pass the time in quarantine,” asked the comedian on Twitter.
From giving names to canned soups, to cooking three-course meals and pretending it’s a cooking show, there’s nothing we wouldn’t do out of boredom. Check out the most hilarious answers below and upvote your favorites!

I am organising a bake off between my daughter and myself during our isolation, I have a list of all kinds of activities. Today I made a volcano with my son and watched it erupt.
This time The Tonight Show, the third longest running show on NBC, got a quarantine rendition. Since Fallon’s show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and other late-night shows have suspended production due to the pandemic, the comedian turned to an impro solution. The low-tech "At Home Edition” episode aired live from Fallon’s home.
But hosting the show in such close proximity to his 5 and 6 year-old daughters was definitely a change from his usual setup. Fallon called the situation “controlled chaos.” The veteran comedian explained to People that “'[Frances and Winnie] don't know they're being seen by millions of people. They just want to play. They know what I do but they've never seen it live.” The show also featured DIY props and hand-drawn cue cards.
The idea to create a DIY version of The Tonight Show from home came after Fallon’s wife Nancy Juvonen suggested that they do something together. “My wife said, ‘We’re all quarantined in the house together, this is the time, you have to put something out there. Let’s do a show from here.’” Nancy offered to be a cameraman and the rest is history. “It’s a good way to get the word out,” recounts comedian.
Fallon's special edition series aims to raise funds for a different charity every night, from Feeding America and Save the Children to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and No Kid Hungry. “It isn’t about ratings or anything else, it’s about—we’re here to help,” said Fallon. The special celebrity guests have included Kim Kardashian West and Jon Bon Jovi. The former vice president Joe Biden is said to be booked to Zoom into the NBC show on April 1st.
There is a lot of cat watching going on in many countries at the moment hehe !
This should totally be a thing worldwide. What an excellent way for them to get exercise without it costing a fortune.
My nanna had her kitchen renovated a couple of years ago. When they cleared the cupboards out of the old kitchen, they found food from 1995 and 1998 etc.
That does seem a "not-okay thing" to do, even though they aren't prescription meds.
I remember once my sisters bf ate her vitamins because they were chocolate flavored (I think it was just calcium) and we convinced him he was going to grow boobs
That can cause irrepitible damage to his pituitary glad which regulates his hormones. You really should not do this.
True, unless they regularly donate blood to rid their bodies of the excess iron.

No. No. Never do this. It could actually be dangerous. Medicine isn't a joke. Please don't.
Oh my. Most vitamin tablets don't have enough of anything to make you have to worry. They are not medicin, they are supplements which wouldn't be necessary if our diets wouldn't be so awful... And really. The whole man/woman thing is mostly marketing. For starters, with a healthy diet no supplements would be needed, secondly our bodies are very much ecquioped to rid of unnecessary vitamins entering through our digestive system. So if not taken in extreme excess for weeks, you're fine.

This is unethical and could cause harm. That's why so many people has the so called "trust issues", because some find acceptable to mess with what they ingest.
Vitamins arent hormones... O.o or can u buy in the us vitamins with hormones? O.o if yes.... Thats weird

I'm so bored I even read the comments under the posts to pass the time
My home kind of hugs me. I feel good here. I was doing already quarentena as a normal lifestyle before becoming trendy and cool. I love my house and to be home. Stay home people.
I don't get it. I'm never bored at home. So many books to read, movies to watch, puzzles to do. I'd be happy staying at home all year! Sadly I still have to go to work.
I'm so bored I drew every shot from Star wars the force awakens trailer and filmed it to make a recreation of it with my drawings and doodles. That only took 2 days so now im bored again.... :/
Reduced from 54 to 30? Please cut soie more--that's what editors are supposed to do. But you get credit for not calling them 'hilarious.'
I'm so bored, I'm actually looking at the entirety of YouTube's suggestions based on their algorithm. I am still (3.5 days later) amazed at the stuff it actually thinks that I would like... hmmmm....maybe I;m worse than I thought.... -Rev Dr M, former politician & college professor, still a single parent & otaku
I work at a Senior Independent Living facility and everyday we have new rules and guidelines to follow. I'm exhausted every day and wish I could stay at home, but am also grateful for being employed, working with great people, and great residents that are getting cabin fever.
Some people cannot work from home or go out to work because of the nature of their job or maybe can't go out for health reasons and we don't all have children.

I'm so bored I... wait... I'm not bored. I'm an adult that doesn't need others to entertain me constantly ánd can actually entertain myself indoors. Guess those are skills long forgotten by a large part of mankind.
But you are on Bored Panda so you must be a little bored. I'm not saying Bored Panda is boring, I'm saying Bored is literally in the name and it's a great way to kill time.
