What sort of entertainment do you use to improve your mood?

You're in an awful mood. Everything about the day has you down in the dumps. You find you need some alone time and you need some help picking yourself back up. A lot of people turn to entertainment. What sort of entertainment do you use to cheer you up? For me (and I'm not just sucking up to the creator) it is "The Office". I always find myself in a brighter mood after watching it. What is your favorite show/movie/song/play/musical/anything that helps you get sorted out?

I write (if that counts)
I listen to music.
I watch television or movies
I go on SoulPancake :)

Dance. Whether I put on music and dance or I watch dance videos online. Never fails

Well, I happen to be in an awful mood right now and "Parachute" by Train is helping. Music always does it for me, just has to be the right artist or song for that particular day's off mood. And I'll play the same album or song over and over until I feel I've had enough musical therapy.

Oprah's Life class, Master class, or Super Soul Sunday! Bruce Almighty, or other comedy with an uplifting message. Pretty much will always brighten me up and force me to laugh-out-loud ...Craig Ferguson and Geoff from the Late, Late Show. What a hoot! Balls!

I watch either The Office, Parks and Rec or Doctor Who. Or sometimes I go for a drive and play loud music.

Pretty much anything by Tom Waits

Rammstein to get the frustration out. When I'm sad: John Frusciante, U2 or Dave Matthews.
TV: anything funny will boost me right up. I really like watching Looney Tunes.
Games: Tekken or anything involving violence to really get my stress/anger out.

I normally play Angry Birds right when I wake up. I like to start the day with silly lightness!

I also watch comedies like The Office, Whitney, Are You There, Chelsea?, and 30 Rock

Music - Bowling For Soup "The Great Burrito Extortion Case"
Games - anything puzzle based
T.V. - Spongebob Squarepants or Phineas and Ferb. Both remind me that attitude is a choice. :)

Thanks everyone! I loved reading all of these! I'll have to try some of them myself. And of course, entertainment like watching television is not the ONLY thing I use to cheer myself up. There are tons of other ways such as spending time with my girlfriend, drinking with friends, playing with dogs, reading, and just being kind to others. But a lot of times it does help to escape to an alternate world like that.

"Friends", "The big bang theory", reading, and listening to music (either in my car on a drive or just in my room).

The Office. Xbox or Wii. Reading on my iPad. Big Bang Theory. Taking my dog to the dog park.

Listen to music, browse the internet, grab a book, truck out into the middle of knowhere, or shoot people on Black Ops (game)... I used to draw also when I was down and drew most of my best drawings depressed but I've lost my drive to draw for some reason?

Doctor Who.
Yep.
Also, Torchwood.. which tends to snap things into perspective for me.
Though to be honest, sometimes I like to indulge in the gloominess for a while.. then maybe churn out some artwork.. which would probably end up reflecting all that crap. :P

porn.

Weed and video games. They go together like peanut butter and jelly.

zombie movies get me in the spirit :P
