The one that always gets me is the one where a woman gets angry with some builders and yelled 'Willy Willy Willy' at them
Also didn't see this delight at the time but have since learnt about it was the Sistine screamer- I could die laughing thinking about that one
What are your best threads for comedy value?

Wafflesnsniffles · 18/02/2022 23:37

This thread is dull without links. Share the links pretty please!!

Ginger1982 · 18/02/2022 23:37

There was one about a woman who was on holiday with her family and the people next to them never left them alone so they fled in the night??

Remember the frozen sandwich thread - I think it was called “is this ok for lunch”

Madness - comment after comment from posters who hadn’t read the thread and then a jig was written.

@AFingerofFudge

Does anyone remember the person posting about a couple sitting in their car outside her house for days/weeks ?!
Yes! Oh my god, that was riveting. And so weird. They were living in the car, I think, outside their own home.

The rhythmless man thread

[[https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am]]iibeingunreasonable/3349315-AIBU

That one truly is batshit!
GoofyIsACow · 18/02/2022 23:44

The one where we all attempted to take advantage of a typo on the M&S website to buy an ugly armchair for 50p, it was hilarious!

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 18/02/2022 23:44

Sistine Chapel always gets me!

HangingOver · 18/02/2022 23:44

Screaming at the Sistine chapel wins for me every time. And the one where the people kept having sex in OPs hedge

Avarua · 18/02/2022 23:45

Yoni massage, for sure.
And the bodily autonomy one. There were posters who agreed with the OP, ffs!!!

Shuffleuplove · 18/02/2022 23:45

Penguin bollards and Angela Hernandez do it for me

I remember that one!!

@buddhasbelly that genuinely made me laugh out loud - possibly as I am a weirdo that loves people watching and imagines weird and wonderful back stories for folk Grin also I've had a lot of wine tonight

Lube and a fish slice.

One of the 1st threads I read and still makes me smile as again that's TOTALLY. Something I would do. An ex flatmate and I ruined a carpet in our flat and managed by sheer luck to find in a local carpet shop a sample that matched...except the carpet in the flat was BOGGING so to make the sample match to disguise the fact we were replacing a square to hide the damage we spent a weekend (yes really!) trying all kinds of things to "age" it - coffee grounds, potted plant soil...

Bonkers!

Thread about sharks being horrible.

Are you sure that wasn't the dolphins plotting the downfall of humans one?

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 18/02/2022 23:54

Elderly Korean lady

And there was one where some builders were working in the house (bathroom?) So the OP did a poo in a bowl and left it by a radiator...?

amusedbush · 18/02/2022 23:55

I don’t think the t-rexing in Asda thread is funny at all, probably because I understood the OP perfectly. I’m autistic and t-rex arms are totally normal in the ND community, so what the OP described made total sense to me!

Okay, I’m finished being a killjoy Blush my favourites:

  • Angela Hernandez
  • the man who whispered ‘penetration’ every time they had sex
  • the woman who asked for advice about a pram, then a year later accidentally replied to her own thread recommending it
  • he has eaten a fat ball
  • ‘your minge!’
Dimensions3 · 18/02/2022 23:58

Ah, “your minge” that was epic. Grin

HollyGoLoudly1 · 19/02/2022 00:01

The fat ball one made me laugh the kind of laugh that's totally silent and you worry that you might pass out. Snapped and farted was excellent too

FloodTheBathroom · 19/02/2022 00:02

Brian from Hull and the yoni massage

NoWordForFluffy · 19/02/2022 00:05

Has my fridge found religion?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 19/02/2022 00:09

The Ford Ranger one - the behaviour of the outrageous self-important owner who abandoned his car on OP's property and then tried to play mind games for days on end, as (we collectively surmised that) he was too busy playing Boggle with Bruce Grobbelaar to be able to fetch his car.

I did feel concerned for OP's safety, but she played it absolutely perfectly, ably assisted by her wonderfully (pretend) bonkers brother!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 19/02/2022 00:14

Also, the OP who took the deliberate decision to hang around in the men's changing room when taking her DS to swimming lessons - and then was deeply offended to discover that sometimes men were naked in there!

There was also another changing-room-based one mentioned in a different thread, where a woman danced around naked and playing the pan pipes, hoping to entertain her probably terrified baby Grin

coodawoodashooda · 19/02/2022 00:16

The one where the hairdresser had to eat a steak with the husband.

Philandbill · 19/02/2022 00:18

The fatball thread was very funny. And the one where op was complaining about swearing on Mumsnet and the first response was to swear.
