Is a sense of humour important in life?

A sense of humour can be very helpful for making new friends. People these days are more likely to make friends with someone who they can joke with. From my experience, people with a sense of humour are more socially active than people who don't have it or those who have it quite limited. A lot of people my age spend some of their free time on the internet sharing jokes or memes with their friends. The lack of a sense of humour can greatly affect our social life.
