I've got a few things that I know I can always turn to in times of crisis for guaranteed instant good mood and belly laughs:

  • Chris Pratt doing the TOWIE accents on Graham Norton.
  • Professor Kelly's children walking in on his BBC interview.
  • The Derry Girls Catholics vs Protestants blackboard.

What are yours?

Father Ted kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse. I live that they seem to be trying to say arse as often as possible, with the heaviest emphasis.

My DH slipping coming down the stairs. Caught himself. Came down 2 more steps and slipped again all the way down. I’m giggling now just thinking about it. I’m such a bad wife Blush Grin

The scenes from Bottom where they are playing chess and camping on Wimbledon Common. ‘Wombles!’ 😂

Quite a lot of The Inbetweeners but particularly like the Thorpe Park one.

Bob Mortimer on Woukd I Lie to You.

This clip makes my husband giggle like a little kid (no pun intended), and so I end up laughing at him:

Chris Rock talking about rappers and true love.

It will probably be incredibly unpopular but I love Rob and Romesh vs...on Sky.
The Drag episode was the funniest thing I've seen in ages and the fashion, and ballet episodes were hilarious as well. My DH who is generally quite grumpy and my teen DD both found it very funny as well.

League of Gentlemen 'I can I can't' and Ollie Plimsoll's theatre company Legz Akimbo

Victor Meldew finding the frozen cat and getting the beer glass stuck to his head.
The bit in Detroiters were Sam’s sister/Tims wife is describing how her new co-worker is so full of empathy she could not even laugh at an other employee’s unfortunate farting incident which was so bad they had to go on the sick.

OhWhyNot · 13/01/2022 19:37

James Naughtie mis pronouncing Jeremy Hunt’s name on BBC 4 Grin it’s James trying to hold it together after that is so funny

Leo Sayer on Families at War (on the treadmill) makes me cry every time Grin

MargotMoon · 13/01/2022 19:38

This amazingly shit attempt to win a Crystal on Crystal Maze. The whole thing is brilliant but the last 10 seconds really make me crease up even though I've watched it dozens of times

PirtonGorse · 13/01/2022 19:39

BalloonSlayer has beaten me to it!! 😅😅😅 I laugh to myself just thinking about that scene!

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2022 19:40

This is funny but not comedy as such. Hamsters!

Bottom...Richie answering the door to Gasman and the ensuing chaos!

Professor Kelly's children walking in on his BBC interview.

God yes. Always has me cackling.

I also enjoy:

struggling to put his flip flops on.

And possibly my all-time favourite. So wholesome. So messy. So darned cute.
