After spending too much on Facebook, I have compiled the best 5 Facebook Live Videos of 2016 (so far) which you can learn and utilise for your business!

Talking about infectious laughter, a Wookie's laughter is definitely far from it. However, such assumption is being shattered when Candace Payne was trying to wear her Chewbacca mask and laughing along the way in her Facebook Live video. In this oddly charming live video, her live video literally broke the Internet (they estimated the damage to be equivalent to the destruction of the Death Star) since it attracted more than 143 million views with more than 3 million reshares!
Affectionately known as "Chewbacca Mom" in the news, her immensely popular live video actually got her cycling together with Chewbacca himself in the Facebook headquarter. According to Mark Zuckerberg, he was proud to invite the Chewbacca Mom herself for such a pleasant surprise. Not only that, Chewbacca Mom and Chewbacca took lots of selfies together; it looks like the Internet exploded again when their album was being viewed and shared by the millions.
Making her own appearance in popular shows such as The Late Late Show with James Corden and Good Morning America, the Chewbacca Mom proves to be an instant Facebook celebrity with her video being the most watched Facebook Live video of all time. Not just that, she even sold the Chewbacca masks on Kohl's as well.
In a simpler term, it is all about a woman who found her happiness from getting and wearing the Chewbacca mask and the Internet just loves her so much.

Even if you are not a fan of cooking shows or its reality show counterpart, you definitely have heard of the fiery Gordon Ramsay who exhibits terrible temper that is tempered by his own uniquely qualified cooking skill. Not only that, Gordon Ramsay seems to be able merge his wit and insult together when berating other contestants in what he perceives as incompetence. Nevertheless, the whole world gets excited when they can see Gordon himself in Masterchef kitchen live on Facebook. He is doing what he does best: cooking.
Thanks to Facebook Live, Gordon has been very active in posting his videos on Facebook. While you will be treated with his display of culinary skill and talent on his Facebook Live videos, these videos actually show another lesser known fact about his soft side. From some of his videos, it seems that he is such a sweet and gentle person who are more that willing in sharing the camera with the people behind the scenes. Well, it appears that he personifies both hellish fire and warm bonfire at the same time.

These days, our social media feed has been filled with numerous videos and shorter gifs of adorable pets. Recognizing the value and visibility of Facebook Live videos, an e-commerce startup by the name of BarkBox, posts a number of videos that feature puppies from other local shelters in order to promote its dog treats. The fun part? You can adopt these cuties that you see in the Facebook videos. One of its best videos is the one that shows a puppy that played with tennis balls enthusiastically. It is so cute that we find ourselves in spamming the replay button and we do not even mind about it.

Despite Buzzfeed entered the news for having infamous glitches in its first Facebook Live interview with President Obama, the master of creative buzzes has been very resourceful and creative in releasing a lot of Facebook Live videos. Some of its videos include the hilarious attempt by men in getting the bras for their wives for the first time and attempting to break the record in Mentos & Coke world record attempt.
Yet, the best one has to be this epic live dance battle that was hosted by Buzzfeed. In this highly interactive dance competition, you can vote on performances and even submit your creative suggestions for different dance moves.
