When was the last time you really laughed?

A man I know cracks me up every time we have an exchange. Really funny guy.

TBH if you feel the country or world has lost it’s humor, you might just be a bit depressed .

It’s the company, isn’t it. The friends watching the football were almost all English, and we still had a right laugh. Less about why we’re together and the fact that we are together.

Watch the football on Sunday with an extended group of friends- lots of kids around, adults we’ve known for years and cos did we laugh! Been a few weeks since we got that group together and when we do, it’s fun.
The week before met up with mum’s sisters and they crack everyone up. they drag up all the old stories about each other and have anyone joining them in tears within minutes.
I hope I’m like that in my 60s and 70s -
just remembering everything through rose tinted glasses, cackling like a loon!

Must be your circle or circumstances. I'm 61 and pretty much the youngest of all my friend groups now, and when we meet up we're likely to be laughing our heads off.

Being an adult doesn't automatically mean losing the joy for life

I laugh hard several times a day either with DH, DSC, colleagues neighbours etc.
I'm not sure how I wouldn't cope with a life without laughter, I suppose it would be a spiral and once there is nothing to laugh about it becomes a very bleak place

Oh that’s a shame, I’m sorry you feel that way.
honestly, I laugh every day, multiple times a day. At DH, DS, the dogs, the horses, my friends, a funny tv show… I’ve always been pretty ‘jolly’ (to quote my mother 😂) all round.

That’s really sad @Rainbowsponge

I laugh out loud fairly often. Usually a shared joke with young adult DC or with my friends. Or watching Would I Lie to You.

I quite often have tears running down my face where I’m laughing so much.

Do you have friends who you have fun with?

Well, I’m 51, and everyone we had dinner with last night is around the same age, and there was a lot of laughter.

Yanbu, nothing on TV is funny anymore because everyone is so scared of offending. Comedy used to be fair game to insult anybody and everything, not sure when we got so soft that nobody could take a joke. It's sad!

Actually I had been thinking recently that when I joined Mumsnet about 4 years ago, there were lots of threads that I was really laughing at. Used to read out the best bits to DH. Don't see that now. Any recommendations for the funny ones?

My daughter and partner make me laugh daily. I laugh with my friends when I make time for them. I don’t use the news.

I laughed a lot during a drunken night with a very good friend last night. My adult kids make me laugh, and I also laugh a lot at the antics of my cats!

I'm never letting Dfriend pour the measures again!!!

Yesterday.
But I'm quite immature and married to someone similar.. so..
We were taking it in turns to huff helium out of our sons deflating birthday balloon, then say serious things.. obviously with helium voice..
Was in hysterics for an hour.
Not v sensible as helium really bad for u..

Last night. We were talking about a dad at DD's school a few years ago who goes around saying "Do you know who I am?" (Word gets around - on one occasion he parked on my mate's drive without asking and on another he was trying to pull someone about the same age as his eldest DD - somewhat gratifyingly she'd never heard of him 😂)
He used to do the whole faux modesty thing whilst at school events but it was obvious he was a knob.

Anyway that set DS off finding those Ronnie Pickering videos on YouTube, set to music with the Spice Girls crooning Whooooooo oooooo Do You THINK you are and Ronnie Pickering's voice spliced in. Lots of swearing .. We were crying laughing😃

Yesterday at my knitting group. Hilarity all round, which is pretty much the norm.

Proper belly laugh last week when partner and I attempting to unhook a lantern from inside the marquee while camping.
he was insisting I stand on his back (him on all fours) and try and reach up to unhook it.
couldn’t for the life of me get my balance it was like a scene from that ‘to me, to you’ kids show from the 90s. We were both hysterical. That kind of laugh has been a while

Ditto!

I laugh alot, my 8 year old is a mini comedian

I laugh most days. My mom, sister and best friend are my go to people when I need a good old cackle.

My last belly laugh was yesterday, on the phone with my mom. What was meant to be a quick call went on for 2 hours.

I lost it watching someone tee off at a golf course. The ball went off like a rocket at 45’ into the trees. I was crying laughing, I can’t wait to go back!

I laugh at something pretty much every day.

I don’t know why farts are funny. It’s ridiculous really.

Well my dh has definitely lost his humour. Probably quite a few years ago. Thankfully, my friends are a laugh and my kids make me laugh.
I laughed a lot tonight out for a meal with friends.

Oh yes, those situations where it would not be acceptable to laugh out loud are the best. Someone farting during an exam? Fucking hell... happened when I had an exam for a night school course. It was a proper ripper... they must have forced it out. Lots of sniggering, and someone said "better out than in", and everyone just lost it.
