Netflix wants to share its comedy specials, shows, and movies with you in a way that the younger ones in your life will appreciate. The streaming service introduces a new mobile feature called Fast Laughs, a TikTok-style feed of clips from its stand-up specials and other comedic content. You can react to the clips with the LOL button or other emojis and even share these videos with others.

The previews autoplay and are displayed vertically. You will be shown up to 100 clips a day of videos ranging from 15 seconds to over 45 seconds. You can add any content that catches your eye to your list or start watching them immediately.

Netflix is encouraging you to use the feature. Fast Laughs has its own tab in the bottom navigation menu. It's currently rolling out to English-speaking countries, including Canada, the US, UK, and Australia. iPhone users are getting first dibs, but Netflix plans to bring it to Android later this year. Those with kid profiles won't have access to the feature. But you can filter the clips based on your content maturity level settings.
