Things that make you cry with laughter years on

[WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo]

I'll go first having spent the night pissing myself laughing over an incident that happened when I was a kid.

Many moons ago I was left being babysat by my brother, I'd been hiding upstairs, found my brother's Viz stash when I heard shouting coming from downstairs.

Thinking it was a prank I ignored it.

Shouting became more insistent so eventually I went to investigate, tip toeing my way into the living room as my brother was a known and impressive prankster.

Cautiously walked into the living room only to be met by my poor brother lying prone on the floor with our idiot dog locked onto him having a merry old time. I can still see him now humping away 😂😂😂 and dbro lying there shouting 'I've broke me leg, I've broke me leg phone a fucking ambulance' whilst trying to shove off the idiot dog who probably couldn't believe his luck 😂😂😂

(( It turned out he had broke his leg and it was his own bloody fault. He'd left a plate on the floor and somehow managed to skid on it and landed on the brasses we had on the fireplace somehow )) absolute fool and to this day, about 30 years on we'll still lock eyes on occasion and he knows what's coming 😂😂😂

It was the banana that did it for me too

One of my ‘moments’ is from years ago, when I arranged a surprise party for my mums birthday. It took lots of co-ordinating and effort, to get everyone together and arrange it all without mum guessing. On the night, all my family were huddled in my pitch black kitchen (December birthday so dark evenings) and I was starting to feel anxious. As mum walked in the front door, she called out ‘Hello?” to an apparently empty, dark house. She walked down the hallway, still calling out, and as she walked through the kitchen doorway, I have no idea what cake over me, but instead of switching back on the lights and shouting “surprise”, I literally screamed “RAAAAAAAAR” in her face. Nearly killed her from shock, bless her....😂😂

*came over me, rather...

It won't be funny to anyone else but when I was watching one of those police reality shows and an old friend is not seen for years surprisingly made an appearance in hilarious fashion!...

I can't look at this picture without laughing 🤣

@ChasingTrams Thank you for your story. I screenshot it and sent it to my mum. She text back and said she was crying with laughter. So I called her and we both just laughed down the phone, it made my stomach hurt!!!

Thanks @Mummymi - it still makes me and my mum howl with laughter when we remember it, over 20 years later!

@winthewinnie 😂

On a date in a Japanese restaurant, I pop to the loo and come back to find DP choking at the table. Apparently he'd been attempting to eat the wasabi beans whole in their pods. Not only were they stringey and inedible they were incredibly spicey. You were meant to suck them out of the pod. He'd been doing this for about five minutes until the waitress came and relieved him and explained. I pml, still makes me chuckle.

Friends of mine, a couple, went for a meal in a pub garden with their adult DDs. One of the couple suffered from misphonia, and wanted to move away from some of the other customers. They'd already been served, so decided the easiest thing was just to carry the table between them. As they moved across the grass, one by one, all the legs dropped off.

Omg Bloodybridget that made me howl with laughter! 😂😂

A level Literature, 30+ years ago, taking it in turns reading Wuthering Heights round the class. Our teacher considered herself vair refined (think floaty scarves, pastel jumpers and floral perfume). My section included the part where Heathcliffe returns and rocks up at Thrushcross Grange during afternoon tea, whereupon "Edgar made a slop in his saucer". I couldn't read on for snort-laughing, and the rest of the class caught on and joined in. We were nigh on hysterical and our poor teacher had no idea why we thought it so funny. I still snigger now.

A few years earlier a similar thing happened with The Machine Gunners. Teacher away, Deputy Head in charge of us for the day. He was slightly scary as he only taught 6th form and we were 2nd year (Y8). We were reading silently to ourselves and on pain of death not to make a sound as had Important Work to do. Got to the part where a bomb hits their street and their neighbour tumbles into the shared air raid shelter with her knickers round her ankles, having had her outside toilet blown up around her. As each of us reached that part we started laughing but had to stifle it. There's only so far that 30 kids can stifle giggling and the Deputy Head eventually looked up from his Important Work, just as we all raised our own eyes, to see a sea of sliently weeping faces. The puzzled look on his face was the final straw and the whole lot of burst like a damn, literally howling. Just the memory of his perplexed face is enough to set me off now.

My sister and our oldest friend (54) years and going strong) anyway they came for the weekend and we were already hosting a BBQ so they just got involved and had a lovely evening.

Halfway through one of the guests took me to one side and said she had found a piece of glass in the potato salad. It was perfectly round and not sharp edges, so we removed it and the potato salad from circulation.

The following day I took the potato salad back to Safeway's deli and they whipped it out of my hand and said they would sort it.

I went home and my sister was having a bubble bath the friend was perched on the vanity unit and I was sitting fully clothed on the toilet sideways with my back against the wall.

I said I was utterly dumbfounded at how it had happened and then the tumbleweed started to roll and I started to laugh and I couldn't stop, we had been to Hong Kong on honeymoon and I had bought a wannabe Gucci watch which had fallen apart and I had put it in the lazy Susan in the cupboard to see if it could be repaired at some point.

The lazy Susan was in a clear plastic bag so didn't require washing before use, my sister had grabbed the watch, and the strap and had not seen the watch face.

I told the girls, we started laughing so hard, that I couldn't get off the toilet as I was now wedged sideways, when the perching one finally hauled me off the toilet seat was practically stuck to my bum.

I went straight to Safeway the next morning and the deli manager he thanked me for my honesty, but said he was interested to see what came back from the suppliers. I can't remember the outcome for them.

Never did get a real Gucci watch.

I am aware that having typed it out it out it is quite possibly a you had to be there moment, but it still reduces us to tears of laughter 27 years later.

On holiday with my grandma, we were sat on a bench on the quayside and wave to a party on a boat. They jokingly shout go on show us your boobs and my grandma grabs at her top pretending she’s going to, unfortunately the wind catches it and flashes the people on the boat. The caller says, “oh do it again, I missed it!” They get to shore and we start chatting, they explain they were scattering ashes, but not to worry the deceased would have loved it

Years ago, DH and I had watched a creepy adaptation of Dracula on tv. We went to bed, fell asleep, and were woken in the night by the bedroom window swinging open. We both sat up, terrified, and I gripped DH's arm tightly. He was screaming and staring ahead. I gasped "What are you looking at?" He yelled "Let go of my arm !!" I'd forgotten he'd had a tetanus jab that day, and I was squeezing so hard he was in agony!

😂

@Bloodybridget omg! I cried so much at that! 🤣🤣🤣

Swimming with 2 small children I had DD in a cubicle with me and DH had DS in the cubicle next door with him. DD was about 2 or 3 and announced at the top of his voice ‘Daddy your Willy is huuuuuuge!’

Sorry that should say DS was 2 or 3

A friend of mine was browsing clothes in Debenhams, she didn't see anything she liked so came out of the store and walked down the busy high street to the greengrocers. It was only after 15 mins of merrily going about her business that a stranger pointed out that she had a massive bra stuck to her coat! It must have hitched a lift when she was in department store. She was mortified. Cracks me up whenever I think about it.

probably quite outing but on a visit to local garden Centre/zoo place eldest daughter (she would’ve been 2-3 then) was looking at the goats and announced “he look like you” to her dad. the funny thing is you could tell she meant it with love bless her. still cracks me up every time I see a goat 🐐

When me and a female colleague were trying to keep at bay a male colleague who was pretending to be creepy, with a couple of pool cues and chairs on wheels. We howled for ages wondering what would have happened if our boss had walked in and caught us 🤣

Playing blow football one Christmas and my grandads false teeth shooting out across the table when he blew through the straw!

We were living in France and had to put our daughter on a train. She can't wee on moving toilets so got 20 cents and went in the rather fancy metal toilet cabin on the station. Two ladies were looking for their own 20 cents and couldn't find one, so when my daughter came out I held the door open to let them in. My daughter tried to stop me but I overrode her, being a bit (a lot) bossy. In went one of the ladies. As we returned to our bench (fortunately at a distance from the toilet) my daughter managed to hiss that there was a notice inside the toilet saying that going out and shutting the door would trigger automatic washing of the whole cabin. So what we'd done was shut that lady in a toilet that was about to automatically wash itself. We were convulsed with guilty laughter, which I had to hush, in case the ladies thought we'd done it on purpose. Then we saw the other lady peering through a crack in the door as it opened, horror on her face, and the first lady coming out, wet to her knees. At least she hadn't had a full head to toe disinfect though. The worst thing was that she was the one getting on the train (with her wet trousers) and her friend was just dropping her off. If I tell people about this even now (it was about 18 years ago) I still can't do it without almost crying with laughter.

About 12 years ago, a colleague had been for lunch at an Italian restaurant and said he had 'fregula'. I didn't know what that was so googled it; turned out it was a type of pasta. The Wikipedia entry said (and actually still does) "A typical preparation of fregula is to simmer it in a tomato-based sauce with clams." This was back in the day when you could change Wikipedia entries. I changed it so it read "A typical preparation of fregula is to simmer it in a jizz-based sauce with clams." It stayed like that for about a week before it got changed back. So childish but still makes me giggle to this day.

Walking around a packed car boot one summer with my MIL (passed away now). I pointed to some really large stuffed toy lions, I said “they are big”
She said “I know “, “I’ve got a fluffy leopard and I love lying on my bed stroking my fluffy leopard. It’s so soft”.
I just started crying with laughter couldn’t help it.

For my last world book day at primary school I dressed up as a vampire. My brother was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. I stood on the landing and asked him, 'do I look scary?'

I did a twirl to show off my cape and it must have made me dizzy because I then promptly fell over and skidded down the stairs on my stomach, arms stretched out like superman.

Brother tried to ask if I was ok but was crying with laughter.

Turns out I did not look scary
