Netflix has launched a tool that can let you view funny clips from the TV library to decide what you’d like to watch.

The “Fast Laughs” tool will give the viewer the option to watch a clip from one of the many TV series, movies, sitcoms or stand-ups from the company’s impressive collection.

Netflix rolled out the feature to mobile users last year, but has started testing the feature on the TV app with some users in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, from New Zealand and other selected English-speaking countries.

A statement from Netflix said: “Fast Laughs features a full-screen stream of funny clips from our extensive comedy catalog. [sic] including movies (Murder Mystery), series (Big Mouth), sitcoms (The Crew) and stand-up comedians like Kevin Hart and Ali Wong.

“Watch a scene from a classic that’s long been waiting to be re-enacted? Or catch something new that deserves a closer look? Fast Laughs lets you add shows, movies, and specials to your list, or start viewing them immediately.”

If you are part of the “Fast Laughs” test, users will be prompted to register. If the viewer says yes, a “Fast Laughs” section will appear further down the homepage, like many other categories in the app.

Once you click on the function, full-screen clips of a comedy program will start playing. The user can skip the clip by right clicking or you can replay the scene by using the left arrow.

You are given an option to add the program to your list or you can start over from the beginning immediately.

This news comes as Netflix announced that users can remove items from their ‘Continue Watching’ section.
