Most parents will tell you to skip the fancy toys for kids, at least for the first few years. Even toys designed specifically for babies don’t have the “it” factor the tiniest tots are after. Lance Marwood’s son certainly has a discerning eye, or make that an ear, when it comes to what tickles his fancy.

Lance shared a video of himself on TikTok holding his son and a tape roll. As he pulled the tape, it made a sound that the baby absolutely loved, and he started to giggle uncontrollably. Lance put the tape back on the roll and pulled it again, and the baby’s laughs exploded. This continued for more than a minute, and the child never grew bored.
Lance Discovered His Baby Would Giggle Uncontrollably By Accident
In a follow-up video, Lance explained that he was putting a suitcase on the curb for anyone to take and fashioning a sign that read “Free.” In order to stick the sign on the suitcase, he needed to secure it with tape. He happened to be holding the baby while attempting to accomplish the task and discovered how funny his son thought it was. “The rest is history,” he said.
Not surprisingly, TikTokers went crazy and watched the video 7.2 million times. There’s nothing quite like a happy baby.
Someone noticed the baby’s sweet little mind thinking. “That first giggle took a second, like it took him a sec to get the joke. Then his funny bone was thoroughly tickled.”
“Trust me, you’ll show him this when he’s 9, and he’ll laugh just as hard,” someone promised.
So many thanked Lance for sharing.
Like this person, “That laugh is free serotonin. An audio-anti-depressant. Thank you.”
And this one, “I wish I could be so easily amused. Then I realized I was smiling ear to ear watching a baby laugh at tape.”
