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?

When I was on a naked walk with three friends (2 guys and another woman) and there was another walker approaching us.
The 3 of us all popped on cover-ups (sarongs etc) but one of the men had a cross-body bag and was trying to get his t-shirt on over the top of it. He was getting more and more panicked and struggling, not realising why he couldn’t get the t-shirt on and the walker got closer and closer and we all just fell about laughing as he was struggling with his t-shirt trying to pull it down.
It was one of the funniest things ever and I could hardly breathe from laughing!

The walker wasn’t fazed at all!

Ice Floe Song from The Mighty Boosh is also great.

Thanks OP for this thread. I needed a laugh tonight. Checking out other Posters' links now.

[quote MargotMoon]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

OP I was just thinking about the Professor Kelly video today and how bloody hilarious it is. I'm off to watch it again now and I'll still laugh even thought it'll be the 100000 time I'll have seen it.

BonnesVacances · 13/01/2022 19:51

Watching Holly and Phil corpsing always makes me laugh. I don't especially like either person or watch TM. But there's something contagious about watching other people laughing.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 13/01/2022 19:53

Joe Marler's horse interview always has me snort laughing.

Any Greg Davies story on Graeme Norton. The image of his drunk friend in underpants and cowboy hat shouting at the kids on the school trip cracks me up without even watching the clip.

Gino D'Acampo and his retort to Holly Willoughby saying his Italian meal was like a carbonara. "If my grandmother had had wheels, she would have been a bike".

The Dean of Canterbury's cats during lockdown.
During the online live sermons one drank from his milk jug then stole his pancakes on Shrove Tuesday & another one wandered in and around his robes.
Brilliant!

Madbadandusuallysad · 13/01/2022 20:01

The scene David Hyde-Pierce acted as Niles Crane in Fraiser (episode was called "Three Valentines") where Niles manages to set the sofa alight. It was absolutely brilliant!!!
