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.

When someone bends down to pick something up off the floor and it’s near me, Can’t resist a ‘ooo while your down there’ 👅😜😂

@Gardai I was about to post about Joy’s Entry Grin

SgtFredColon · 31/08/2018 19:13

Even funnier as my next door neighbour is called Joy

Gardai · 31/08/2018 20:04

@SgtFredColon that’s brilliant
Good old Joy

The diarrhoea song.

When you’re walking in the street
And shit’s squidging round your feet
Diarrhoea, diarrhoea.

Speaking of London stations - Mudchute.

Also, when I worked in London and used to organise deliveries, one of the firms we worked with was based near Canary Wharf. Each time I spoke to the guy in charge, I triggered the following conversation:

Me: Gary, remind me, where is your office?
He: Isle of Dogs
Me: I love dogs too Gary, but where is your office?

This makes me laugh every time I see it/hear about it. City of Edinburgh council planners must've been drunk when they agreed this name.
I give you Bellenden Gardens:

Anyone remember the MNer who posted she was going to ask her husband to take her up the Oxo Tower? That caused much hilarity and she was genuinely confused at first. 😂. I always smile when I see the OT now.

Not an obscene one, but I use the legendary Mornington Crescent station regularly; I smile every time I do, also when I see the Lyttleton Arms opposite.

My DH and I were reminiscing about another slightly rude song, which often did the rounds when we were at primary school:
Mickey Mouse, in his house,
pulling down his trousers.
Quick mum, smack his bum,
that's the end of part one.

And opposite Highbury Corner in north London, there's a pub called The Famous Cock.

Highbury Corner itself has a niche interest: in the film "The Knowledge", where trainee cabbies are trying to learn their runs, they are always say for run number one (think desperate Cockney voice) "comply 'ighbury Corner!!!!!"

MawkishTwaddle · 31/08/2018 22:18

Anusol. I call it 'Anus 'ole.'

Vagisil. 'I need some cream, my vag is ill.'

I like place names too. There's a place called 'Hampole' not far from here which I've renamed 'Pork Sword'.

MawkishTwaddle · 31/08/2018 22:22

Dick Van Dyke is always Penis Van Lesbian in my head.

And I like hearing the name Randy Vanwarmer.

Wotrewelookinat · 31/08/2018 22:45

DH and I always snigger at ‘the crack of Dawn’ especially as I work with someone called Dawn.
We have also started learning how to rock climb and didn’t manage to keep straight faces at all at the discussion of which ‘gear’ to put in a crack.

And also...Baps. Makes a trip to the bakers stupidly smirksome.

The name of a great restaurant called Senor (pronounced "seen- your") Dicks. At its funniest when you call to book a table and they answer the phone and say it in a cheerfully helpful way Grin

stopdropandroll · 01/09/2018 00:29

burps. one time dp did a very-unusual-for-him huge burp in another room when i was in bed. he came in later to find me still giggling about it and we ended up crying laughing for ages 🤣

Whenever i drive over a cattle grid or that thick bumpy paint I say “excuse me”. Never not funny.
Also anytime a hearing test is mentioned (relatively frequently) it goes like this: “can you take granny for her hearing test?” “Pardon?” “Her hearing test is on Tuesday can you make it?” “Pardon?” “HEARING TEST ON TUESDAY” “pardon?”

I do it ever single time so I don’t think they have any right to get mad when they’ve screamed it 5 times and finally clicked.

MrsMoastyToasty · 01/09/2018 01:16

On Ice Road Truckers every time there was mention of travelling up from Coldfoot to Gobbler's Knob I sniggered.

OttosTitsling · 01/09/2018 01:26

I live in Pennsylvania, near-ish to an area called Blue Knob. Blue Knob ski resor,t Blue Knob spa, Blue Knob autos. Blue Knobs as far as the eye can see

MrsEricBana · 01/09/2018 01:29

Oh yes re Randy Vanwarmer! And Englebert Humperdinck too.

River Piddle, Dorset. Also Piddle Brewery.

Also in the 1980s, a cereal which would raise some nervous smiles among the children was "Honey Smacks".
