What weird things do you do to make your husband/partner/wife laugh?

[itssquidstella]

I like to flail quietly into the sitting room wearing just my pants when DH is watching TV and dance about like Britt Eckland in The Wicker Man.

What do you do?

These are really lovely

@FudgeBrownie2019 oh that sweet - I certainly don't want to put a downer on this thread!

Keep them coming x

We have an imaginary pet dinosaur.
We turn random stuff into an insult (such as if one asks 'where's the bananas?' the other will reply 'you're a banana')
Randomly blowing raspberries.

I was on a work call a few weeks ago, beginning of the lockdown and I was struggling to adjust, DH came out of the kitchen with a very large banana sticking out of his trousers. I had to keep composed until the end of the call and then collapsed in a fit of the giggles. He's forever jumping out at me, repeating everything I say, or generally making me look like an idiot but I still love him! I call him my "current husband" too.

I draw eyes and a smiley mouth on one or both of my areolas so that the nipple is the nose, then wait for him to notice. Hands down, a face nipple never fails to make me laugh either. Looks utterly ridiculous.

BumbleBee can I suggest you up your game in these difficult times with some stick on googly eyes? I bought some to stick on things on the fridge and cheer up my kids but now I feel there are other good uses.

Instead of ‘first husband’ I call my DH my ‘current husband'

I'm going to do this! My DH is my second as I divorced the first.... 😁

I am sat laughing like a drain at these. Now my husband has told me I'm not allowed to read any more as it's giving me ideas (I've not read some out to save for later! 😂)

Irritating the shit out of him is my all time favourite hobby.

He calls me an asshole and I can't get mad because he's only telling the truth

Oh, I like to steal DPs towel if he's just had a shower and it's wrapped around his waste. I always do it with a very childish 'wooooo' as well and laugh uncontrollably and refuse to give it back. DP is happy to be naked and unfazed so carries on calmly with whatever he is doing. I just perv then .

The buttons on my boyfriends clothes are all either magnetic or velcro, so if he is a bit grumpy or a bit low I always walk by and rip them open. The trousers usually get a pull down as well.

The living area of my flat is on a slightly raised level so there are two steps up, he has to go by the wall so he can lean on it to walk up the steps if I see him doing I always go in a slow voice “ooo nearly” everytime he lifts his foot up.

He isn’t a morning person, the look on his face when he wakes up is terrifying so I sometimes do a ‘sexy’ dance in my pants.

We both equally irritate and do weird things to each other.

I can't decide if these are really sweet or if I'm horrified that marriage might mean this! You'd all drive me crazy

If DH tells me he's done anything, in a casual way - "I've put the bins out," "I've just phoned my mum," that sort of thing - I start whooping, slow clapping and shouting hallelujah, generally making a massive thing of it. Never fails to make us both laugh 😁

And DREADFUL hide and seek. Its really obvious where we are, but the other will make a big show of looking in wrong, ridiculous places - "Is he in this envelope?? Noooo..." It just gets funnier the louder the obvious giggling gets.

@flipperdoda you just have to find someone who is as like minded as you.

I have an imaginary horse that I ride around the house. Dh crawls into rooms trying to come in without being seen, he is 6'3" and built like a rugby player, there is nothing inconspicuous about him.

Like bank I will rub my arse on him when he is doing something serious, or poke him, he does the same to me. He pretends he is a master black belt which has not only made the children (teenage boys) jumpy around him but piss funny as both our children are legitimate black belts in karate. When they would practise their karate he would put music on and pretend it was dancing, saying love those moves!

A million other things. The best thing is the children join in with all the mayhem, oooh tell us again Dad how you worked in Fosters? was it Fosters Dad? How did you fold those clothes again? Show us the special way to fold t-shirts. He may have mentioned it once too often, we both have done the whole I worked from 13 line with the children. We should now add the Hovis theme!

I call DH 'husband of my husbands' implying that he is the one currently in favour of my multitudes of husbands.

I address him as my home boy regularly which makes him roll his eyes at me.

I explain why things are funny to him with the explanation that explaining the joke always makes it funnier. Which it does.

We do a silly skit where we address each other in over formal manner with lots of 'what what' and 'jolly good' thrown in. Makes the eldest DC cringe which is an added bonus.

He sings at me and does a silly 'sexy' dance if I'm getting pissed off with something stupid it always makes me laugh even when I'm determinedly trying to stay annoyed.

Aw I'm single and happy with that but now I want a bf just so I can do the throwing the pillows thing

This thread is really cute

Makes the eldest DC cringe which is an added bonus.

Our eldest is 11. He has this state he does when we start, a full on WTF-stare, then a deadpan: "you two are so weird..." before he flounces off.

We've promised that at his 18th birthday we'll get payback for all the times he's embarrassed us and he will know when that moment has arrived as there'll be a record-scratch followed by "Mr. Lover Lover... Mmm... Mr. Lover lover..." and then DH and I will sexy dance our middle aged backsides off.

bankofNook eldest DC is about to turn 11 and does exactly that. We both love to point out that it is are job as their parent to be as embarrassing as possible

Easter is a big moment of silly fun for us: we do egg hunts for each other. He always does a lovely clue-by-clue one for me, as we love puzzles.

I make his hunt really difficult in a different way: I hide his eggs in plain sight (in the garden if it's dry enough), while he's blindfolded. He can then win back his sight if he can answer a fiendishly difficult question from me, such as what colour are my earrings. He invariably fails, so every year he has to find his eggs without being able to see anything! While he scrabbles around, I don't tell him if he's cold or warm: I just keep reminding him that any eggs he fails to find will end up in my possession, and I will eat them in front of him.

Put a finger slightly up his clothed bum if I'm walking past him or if he bends over.He nearly jumps through the ceiling Luckily he finds it funny.Just realised we are weird.

We have nicknames for each other's clothing, especially shoes. I have a pair of white zip-up boots, which DH has christened "Brannigan boots", because they're similar to the ones worn by Zapp Brannigan in Futurama. I also have "Spice Girl shoes" and "pancake shoes". I call his Kickers boots his "school shoes"; and his Nike Air Rifts are his "Mary Janes".

I have really thick hair. Just after hairdrying, but before straightening it I comb it all forward and stick my specs back on over the top. So I look like Cousin Itt.

DH thinks it's hilarious.

@MangoM I do that with my hair too!

Hide and jump out to scare each other! We used to have a walk through dining room to get to our lounge and when the lights were off it was incredible how many hiding places we found in just that one room.

DH took it a bit too far and hid down a dark alley on my route home from work once and jumped out on me barking like a mad dog - I absolutely shit myself!

We have a selection of these googly eyes hand puppet things (photo), and there's a special ridiculous voice that they have. We both regularly use these to yell "HELLO" with one around a corner as if they're talking. They're all called Hans because it sort of sounds like 'hands'.

There are a few things that rely on me being on the sofa in the living room and her being in the kitchen, the other side of an opening (where an external window used to be) and she'll sink down really slowly while making full eye contact. I don't know why it's so funny. Bonus laughter if I'm not looking, so if I look at her she'll stop. Like grandma's footsteps. If we're the other way around I pretend I've forgotten something "in the basement" and make it look like I'm going down steps.

Lots of surprise flashing here too, and naked dancing. We do the bum rub thing too! Not sure why. Lots of conversational formulaic things like:

"You are so wise"
"How wise?"
"As wise as three owls in a trench coat"

Etc.
