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?

@LittleMissnotLittleMrs, I wasn't sure if it was Hamster cruelty to start with. I mean they seem to be having a great time, and nobody is making them do it. Grin

The outtakes (Youtube) from The Office, Derek and Afterlife..have me and DH crying laughing every time, and we've seen them many times now.

David's dead

madisonbridges · 13/01/2022 20:14

@Sparklingbrook Not cruel. The one that was squashed against the side was the one that stayed in after the one running got out. Mine used to run so fast they'd sometimes get flung out but they couldn't wait to get back in. So...🤷

Phew! I guess they must just like that dizzy feeling. It always makes me laugh. Grin I would quite like a human size version to have a go.

@crazycadetmum

Vicar of Disley...where she jumps in puddle to hide abd the scene where she gets splashed whilst wearing the dress Alice designed! Make me laugh and instantly lift my mood
The vicar of Dibley as a whole is my go to feel good programme but Alice was wonderful and jumping in the puddle always makes me laugh.

Stuart McCall slowly falling off a car roof, beer can in hand.

Every time. Tears. [Grin]

This is easy. "David's dead" on Celebrity Big Brother. It gets me every time!

SueGrayInvestigates · 13/01/2022 20:20

Another one for Greg Davies on Graham Norton and Bob Mortimer on WILTY.

I love these alien abduction sketches on SNL, I think it’s seeing Ryan gosling and everyone trying not to laugh as much as anything else.

Liverbird77 · 13/01/2022 20:20

Oh Pam Doove!! Yes!
I actually say the orange juice line quite often.

Father Ted and 'Eurosong'

'Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing. In the wind...'

PatriotCanes · 13/01/2022 20:21

Liza Tarbuck making Little Alex Horne sit on a cake on Taskmaster "Iwas open" has me guffawing.

Not just Bob Mortimer on WILTY but David Mitchell losing it afterwards "of course it's a lie"

American Firefighter Drama 9-1-1...

  • episode where the firefighters eat doped brownies (unintentionally) then get called to a toddler beauty pageant.
  • when the crew get stuck in their fire truck and another fire crew have to come and rescue them

On an UK basis...

  • FENTON!!!
Snoopsnoggysnog · 13/01/2022 20:22

That zoom call in the US where that guy (think he was a judge) couldn’t turn off his cat filter

LaQuern · 13/01/2022 20:22

Also a the Spitting Image opera from 1987 with the singing vegetables.

Still makes me cry with laughter over 30 years later

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2022 20:23

I can't watch the 'David's dead' thing. It's all a really horrible cringey misunderstanding. And now both Davids are actually dead! Sad

twomumsonebump · 13/01/2022 20:25

The scene in The Golden Girls where Rose is telling the story about the herring circus. Both Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan break character and start laughing uncontrollably and they decided to keep it in!

duvetdayforeveryone · 13/01/2022 20:25

@BalloonSlayer

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.
Best episode ever!!!
Justcashnosweets · 13/01/2022 20:25

The Halloween episode of Bottom where Ritchie is in his devil costume and has to keep changing his tights.
The Father Ted episode where Ted and Dougal get lost in the caves with Father Noel Furlong.
