Things that you find funnier than you should

Had a letter today from school saying that for Rugby they only need to wear trainers, but have a tracksuit for afterwards in case they get cold.

I know what they mean... But it's not what they have written!

This 11-second Youtube clip made me laugh like a drain yesterday: I may also look up the Fenton video again, for old times' sake ("Fenton! FENTON!!! Oh, Jesus Christ...")

I found the immediate aftermath of Trump's defeat incredibly funny, the relief made me really giddy. Rudy Giuliani sweating like a beast in the carpark of Four Seasons Total Landscaping, the mayor of Philadelphia telling Trump to put his 'big boy pants' on, half the world prank-calling the Trump War Room, oh my god it still makes me howl...

When American news say about someone going to kiss the ring of Trump 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

MrsRobinsonsHandprints · 19/05/2021 19:19

I would have found that very funny as well.

Farts.

Doesn't matter how looks i get I still laugh at a noisy fart, especially inappropriately timed ones! Grin

I love it when inanimate objects get stubborn and refuse to work, or have particularly stubborn requirements. My sister's kettle only works when the spout points left Grin

People falling over or walking into things. It’s the eighth wonder of the world that I’ve never been punched in the face for failing to stifle my giggles 🤭

RightOnTheEdge · 19/05/2021 19:33

People falling off naughty horses.
Only when I know they are not badly hurt though.

I was at a wedding years ago when my friends baby farted during a prayer.

It was so loud and went on for what seemed like minutes. How I didn't howl with laughter I'll never know.

Jim saying "Shaaalllloooooom" and bowing on Friday Night Dinner.

I'm Jewish. I say "shalom" about a dozen times a week at least (it's the Hebrew for hello, goodbye and peace) and I crack up laughing each and every time, imagining Jim.

DH was watching the snooker a couple of weeks ago and as I came in from the shopping Neil Robertson was on.
He normally has a lovely blonde straight haircut but he'd had a perm and it was very curly and looked like something I had in the eighties.
I couldn't stop laughing. I'm sure NR liked his hair.

Youngatheart00 · 19/05/2021 19:46

That greggs bag has just cracked me up too.

Farts make me laugh too Grin

Doublevodka · 19/05/2021 19:47

Anyone tripping up or falling over. I know, it's so immature but it's always hilarious to me, especially if my husband does it.

People miss fortune when they trip or fall. I have a warped sense of humor.
I laugh even if it's myself.
Especially the ones you wish you had on video camera!

I had a friend, when we went camping, she fell over someone else's tent pegs and almost took down the whole tent - it was the funniest thing I had ever seen -
She was not impressed, since it was raining and dark and she had annoyed me by being many hours late leaving us to put a tent up in the dark

DH are always quoting Jim. Cracks me up even though we have been saying the same things for years!

People falling over. I cant help it

mnahmnah · 19/05/2021 22:15

About 15 years ago a guy on the treadmill next to me at the gym fell off in spectacular fashion. I still crack up every time I think about it. Not just the falling off, but the fact he was so serious about it and tried to jump straight back on as if nothing happened

I've fallen off a treadmill. There was a lot of cheering.

I don't recommend it as way off flying.

Two hamsters one wheel on YouTube.
I've no idea why it's so funny but it is.

Leo Sayer on a treadmill

I cry every time

People falling over is often hilarious

I love that op would make me giggle too

AuntieDolly · 19/05/2021 22:28

People tripping or falling over, especially if they lose a shoe in the process.

Sounds like a fault with the metal connectors between the kettle and the base, depending on the type of kettle or a loose wire.
