Netflix is launching a new mobile feature called Fast Laughs which looks and feels like Instagram or Tiktok Reels.
The new feature’s aim is to give subscribers the opportunity to get their fill of laughs in for the night without having to watch a whole movie or tv show.Different short clips taken from stand-up specials or animated shows play directly within the Fast Laughs.
“We’re always looking for new ways to entertain and make discovery easier for members,” Patrick Flemming, director of product innovation at Netflix, said, adding that Fast Laughs is a “new full-screen feed of funny clips from a wide variety of Netflix titles, ranging from films and series to our deep bench of stand-up specials.”
The new feature also helps Netflix highlight how much content is on the platform. Netflix has invested heavily in stand-up comedy with multipicture deals with comedians like Kevin Hart and Adam Sandler. And that is its difference from Instagram and Tik Tok: Netflix is not trying to launch a new platform but instead is using a new feature to provide entertainment.
You can access Fast Laughs by using the bottom navigation menu to clock on the Fast Laughs tab. The company will begin testing Fast Laughs on Android soon.
