what purile things make you laugh?

I was watching an old episode of Star Trek the other day and one of them said ‘computer what is the location of Dr Crusher’, it replied ‘in her quarters’. My inner childish sense of humour thought it would be funny if it had said ‘she’s sat on the toilet’.

Also my Dd is watching Paw Patrol on an endless loop. So I call it poo Patrol and made my own theme song up.

Does ridiculous and incredibly sexist and offensive count as purile?

SquatBetty · 30/08/2018 17:53

The 'That's not my Santa' book - the page that goes "that's not my Santa, his sack is too rough" never fails to make me snigger while reading it to the DC

When I’m buying fat balls for the birds I always have a little smirk 😏

There's a brand of packet soup that's sold in the Polish section of supermarkets. It's called 'cock soup'

Cock soup seems to be a Caribbean thing too. It makes me snurk to myself while I'm whiling away time in the post office queue (my post office is also a convenience store).

A friend and I frequently strive to use the phrase 'John Hancock' (as in a term for a signature) and then giggle about it for far too long.

My household have a long-running 'said the actress to the bishop' joke. We either just have filthy minds likely or there are a LOT of opportunities for it, especially around food and cooking –'That's gone a bit soft', 'It's too big' etc etc etc.

That's not my Santa... I know someone who worked on those books. I can only assume...😉

Same reason they made all those St. Trinian films.

To appeal to sexist twats?

Get away, you perve! Honestly!

mycelialnetwork · 30/08/2018 18:17

Soupdragon yy to beavers. Dd joined last year and I can't help smirking every time I say it. So juvenile!

Oh look - someone's gone and got themselves a MN account so they can go on the windup - on a thread about being purile....It's nothing if not predictable....oh yes we're outraged...yawn...

Sagentcaper · 30/08/2018 18:20

There is also a house repair type company near me called 'Beaver Maintenance' always smirk when I see that van

AwkwardAsAllGetout · 30/08/2018 18:22

Seeing ‘also available in white’ written on dirty vans makes me chuckle more than it should

cantfindamoniker · 30/08/2018 18:25

Any of the following: push the knob in will you (car door automatic locking has failed) I love beavers, I'm a beaver leader, I want to go to beavers, let's go in Fat Willy's (snigger, let's not) and have you got any balls (off to tennis) and for some reason "your the feeder" (again tennis bit no-one else finds it funny).

Impulsesealer · 30/08/2018 18:25

our toilets are made by ideal standard, whenever I look at the little sticker I think it should have been bog standard Grin I giggle to myself every time and tell dh about my thought at least once a month

haverhill · 30/08/2018 18:27

A colleague was reminiscing about a radio his mum had kept in the kitchen when he was a kid. Yes, she loved her big Bush, apparently. I was not the only one trying to hide my snorts.

tillytoodles1 · 30/08/2018 18:27

Our ASDA sells a brand of award-winning sausages made by a local butcher, they're called MUFF sausages. It always makes me laugh.

desertmum · 30/08/2018 18:42

I was trying to find the local tide times on google recently and came across a site called visitmyharbour.com which makes me snigger every time I think of it. Childish I know.

my nearest town is twinned with Titisee, it always makes me chuckle, that hasn't grown old after 4.5 years living here, it's so Sid James..
