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 😂😂😂

I'm a teacher and once in assembly we had a little recital from a boy playing the trombone. The head of music introduced him by saying 'Bertie is going to play a tune you might recognise.' He was unbelievably bad, the irony being that you couldn't have recognised the tune to save your life. Staff were crying with silent laughter. Apparently it was JINGLE BELLS.

HarrietSchulenberg I have one like yours. In GCSE English I had to read a passage from Far from the Madding Crowd. In it Bathsheba is helping Gabriel fix a wall or something (I can’t quite recall) at night. I read the line “in the darkness he could hear Bathsheba’s rhythmical pants”. This made me immediately think of her knickers playing a tune and I could not stop laughing. I honestly was in danger of wetting myself and the lovely English teacher had to send me out until I could calm down. The girl who was. sitting next to me at the time is still a very good friend nearly 30 years later and we still find this very funny.

We went to the norfolk broads on a boat, parents and eme and baby brother

We were probably 14/15 and 11/12

Whenever we were mooring my dad would get my mum to jump off the boat with the rope

She slipped

Boats still going

My mum is still holding onto the rope

She gets dragged up the bank

My dad yelling ‘LET GO OF THE ROPE’

My mums not letting go

She’s still being dragged

My dads still yelling ‘LET GO OF THE ROPE’

My mums still not letting go

And my brother and i have to hide in our bedroom cos we can’t stop laughing....and we know its wrong

(Why the hell dad didnt stop the boat I’ll never know)

@Clawdy that really got me 🤣🤣🤣

Another is walking through the woods with 10 year old ds1 and younger siblings

He pokes a puddle with a stick to see how deep it is

Its not deep so he jumps in

And disappears completely...

There’s loads actually...dd and I especially get fits of the giggles

Im a dreadful human being

When I was about 17 or 18 I went to a music festival for the weekend with some friends. We had a campfire so some of the folks in the neighbouring tents also came and joined us. One of the guys had been smoking weed and was a bit tipsy too and was lying down on his front but with his legs in the grassy path that divided the tents/cars. Someone comes pootling along on a dirt bike, doesn’t see the guy’s legs and drives straight over them. My friend and I looked at each other in horror, thinking it must have hurt quite a lot but the guy didn’t even seem to notice. About 5 minutes later, possibly even 10, the guy starts rolling around clutching his legs and shouting about them hurting. My friend and I absolutely pissed ourselves laughing and it took some considerable time for us to stop crying and calm down enough to explain to everyone else what had just happened as everyone else had their backs to the track and had completely missed the entire thing. This was back in 1995 and it still makes me cry with laughter every time I think of it 😂😂😂😂

A few years ago I was walking through town with DP, crossed the road and DP noticed a small plastic toy dinosaur, he picked it up and called after the people in front 'is this your dinosaur?', they were at least mid fifties and the bloke was built like brick shit house, needless to say he hadn't dropped his toy dinosaur.

I’m terrible for this, and they’re always you had to be there situations, which no one else finds funny.

I once went shopping with my sister and she tried on one of those tiny hats on headband in New look. It was straw with peach ribbons and totally wanky. We start with the silent crying laughter and once she semi composed herself she went to the till and asked the assistant if she had any more in different colours. The woman was less than impressed and just dead eyed her. I started to make muffled shrieks over in the shoe department and my sister fell over a bag of hangers as she tried to make a quick get away.

@Namechangex10000

One of mine was we were at a family meal, and I had some gossip to tell the rest so I dutifully say “ooooh did you know so and so did this etc etc” and everyone looks shocked and says “did she?!?!” And I promptly acted like I hadn’t just told the tale and shouted “did she?!?” Back at them as though it was a question that I didn’t know the answer to. One of those had to be there moments I think but nobody can say “did she?” Without hysterics.

DP and myself have very different levels of humour so it’s not often he makes me belly laugh, but taking the piss out of my love for mumsnet he sometimes puts on a voice and narrates absurd goings on mumsnet style and it absolutely kills me

I have no idea but I've just had to leave the room as that story has finished me off and I don't want to have to explain myself. Honestly, tears and everything!

Oh God - and this one!

I can’t think of a story of my own but the thread in classics about someone’s DH who ate a fatball had me sobbing with laughter and I look at it whenever I want a laugh!

"Beware of the Thing" from Jennings Goes to School

My mum (sounding a little pompous) to assembled young cousins: “So what does bravery mean? Can anyone give me an example?”

6yo nephew, instantly: “Bravery is looking at someone’s bum while they’re doing a fart.”

Me: [dead with laughter, then and every time I think of it]

Some of these are wonderful. I've got one.

Skiing with a friend and there were a few groups of the local military skiing in their uniforms. As we got to the top of the chair lift, my friend's s rucksack got snagged on the lift and she couldn't get off. She got dragged up and twisted so her rucksack was going first and she couldn't stand up. Just as they stopped the lift for her, some of the military guys came to help her up while I just stood there crying with laughter. She was absolutely mortified.

This probably doesn’t sound funny but it always makes me laugh
whenever my DH goes through the drive through at McDonald’s he says “Hi it’s me “

@backseatcookers

If anyone needs a laugh

omg.... thank you for this.... never seen it before and i'm crying at it!

We were away years ago staying in a caravan with ds1 who was about 4, mil and fil. Dh woke up in the middle of the night a bit disoriented and went running from our room in just his pants shouting he was going to kill whoever he thought he was chasing. I was absolutely hysterical.

Not long after we bought this house 23 years ago we had decorated the living room and added a dado rail. Our elderly neighbours came for a look and asked me what it was. Obviously I told them it was a dildo rail!!

[quote MamTDM]@Ze1tGeist - when I was a PhD student, I shared an office with a very forthright mature student whose research involved ringing various hospital departments to ask for interviews with doctors. On April Fools' Day one year, I left a Post-It note on her desk asking her to please ring a Mike Hunt urgently, with the number of the local STD clinic. I will regret to my dying day that I wasn't in the office when she made the phone call, but apparently she spent several minutes getting increasingly agitated, saying things like 'Look, I know Mike Hunt is there and it is imperative that I speak to him immediately' before she twigged and slammed the phone down. Fortunately she thought it was hilarious and didn't kill me.

The other incident that totally slayed me was the day my DS decided to stick his finger into a hole in the new metal railings along the school drive one morning when he was about 6 and it got totally stuck. My mature and adult reaction to this was to instantly become helpless with that awful silent shaking internal laughter to the point where I literally couldn't speak, and could only stand there uselessly until a mum I knew walked past and flag her down to help. She promptly whipped an industrial-sized tub of Vaseline out of her handbag, which only made me laugh more, and then a teacher came running down the drive with a bottle of washing-up liquid, all concerned because someone had gone into Reception and told them that DS was stuck and I was crying [/quote]
I am laughing so much at this right now..my sides are sore 🤣🤣👍

We were on holiday in Majorca with teen DC. DH can actually speak great French, good German and some Japanese but Spanish - nada. We were at a fish stall and he had said he wanted to get some fresh sardines. So he asked for some. The woman asked him - in Spanish - how many he wanted, which he just about understood. He then panicked a bit as he didn’t know any numbers so just blurted out “Todos” (ie everything). So he came back with this HUGE bag of fresh sardines. We all howled with laughter when he fessed up. Dd was in Y9 at the time and doing Spanish GCSE and was particularly scathing. We are a LOT of sardines over the next few days! Saying “Todos Sardinhas” still makes us all laugh like Muttley.

My parents bought a bathroom cupboard from IKEA. Got it home only to find that despite the box clearly saying it was a white cabinet it was pale blue.

My folks were really pissed off as IKEA was a bit of a drive for them.

When we went back to return it my dad was in full grumpy middle aged man mode, full of entitlement and indignation. He huffed his way to the customer service desk and launched into his tirade. The poor assistant tried to get a word in edgewise but my dad was going to be heard. He finally ran out of steam and the member of staff asked 'did you remove the plastic protector on the door? That's light blue'. With a beaming smile.

My dad just groaned as I dissolved into laughter.

On holiday years ago, staying in a static caravan. The change of water had affected 11yr old ds badly, and he was sat on the loo with his head out of the window, kept saying it's like sulphuric acid! Rest of the family, including his my DM , were sat outside helpless with laughter. You only had to mention the holiday and my DM would dissolve in fits of laughter, even when she was very ill.

Me and DH had just come out of DS's Parent's evening. It was October so dark nights.

We were walking across a patch of grass opposite school when DH went from upright to face plant in 0.3 seconds. He'd somehow got his feet wrapped up in some rope and all 6 foot odd of him was floored.

There were traffic lights and a whole bus full of people were looking out the window at us.

I honestly thought I was going to die or wet myself. I had to hold on to a garden wall to keep myself upright, it took about 10 minutes to compose myself.

Everytime we walk past the patch of grass together I start laughing again.

Was a manager along with a very funny colleague, we had to pretend to be serious a lot of the time. One day a rather earnest colleague came to our desks to ask for a word. Apparently there was some inappropriate graffiti in the men's toilets.

We asked what it was. He leaned down and whispered that he was afraid to say that on a sign the words "many thanks" had been replaced with "many wanks". We thanked him for letting us know, let him get round the corner and absolutely howled. We have different jobs now but still sign emails to one another "MW."

Years later, with same colleague in a strategy thing with the Board also involved so we were on best behaviour. Guest facilitator in, we are all standing up doing a whiteboard exercise and the facilitator audibly farts, also doing a weird little hop as he does so. There was a collective moment of stunned realisation. We all had to avoid direct eye contact with anyone else in there for the next hour until we were safely out.. watching people trying desperately not to laugh and not laughing myself pretty nearly killed me.

We used to live in Germany in the late 70's and my gran and her sister came to visit. For some reason the 2 of them couldn't walk past a graveyard without going in. We were waiting for them to come out of yet another one when we heard a commotion.
We turned around to see the 2 of them running towards us being chased by a man shouting at them and waving a rake around.
My gran was a wee short round woman and her sister was tall and thin, and they always wore the type of straight floral dresses that BHS etc sold.
The sight of the 2 of them running cracked us up and then my grans petticoat slid down her legs, she never even paused, kicked it up and caught it.
I thought my mum was going to expire.
