Threads you remember with fondness for being utterly batshit

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?

OP posts:

@amusedbush

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!’
These are some of my favourites, you have excellent taste in threads 😌

There’s one I don’t remember seeing — the “penetration” one — but I am laughing purely at your description. If anyone has a link …

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 19/02/2022 00:25

Oh god I’ve found it

Snapped and farted will forever make me howl laughing.
Fat balls was funny too.
The husband, the masseuse and the steak was totally bonkers

Haha superb
Staffy1 · 19/02/2022 00:47

Making owl noises at someone to shut them up (as you do), which turned out to be pidgeon noises “coo coo”.

Staffy1 · 19/02/2022 00:54

@ouch321, the title was “shouting at me in the supermarket”

StarryNightSparkles · 19/02/2022 00:55

It wasn't really funny as such but it was batshit crazy. A couple who both couldn't ski booked a skiing holiday to take there kids on to teach them.............

TO SKI 🤯😂

My jaw hit the floor with that one. Wonder how it went 😕

TunaTuna · 19/02/2022 01:02

@NoWordForFluffy Lauren Laverne on Radio 6 has a house music slot, literally things in your house that make music. Often wonder whether the original inspiration was here.

Brian Cox's wife turning up.
Half of Mumsnet apparently had slept with Russell Brand ( it was a smaller site at that point)
and no one has derailed a thread with Terry Wogan for a long time

Penis beakers?!

TunaTuna · 19/02/2022 01:12

No, I got it wrong, @NoWordForFluffy but that is a great thread, there's a previous thread about sentient domestic appliances. Henry is still trying to kill me.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 19/02/2022 01:12

TWC! Oh, I haven't seen that for a long time! It almost brings a tear to my eye.

BashfulClam · 19/02/2022 01:13

‘Your mingle’ was one of the best.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 19/02/2022 01:15

@AuntTwacky It was just the one. It broke Mumsnet. Dunking was involved.

ISpyCobraKai · 19/02/2022 01:16

Horses at the Olympics, always my favourite thread.

Controversial maybe, but the Raoul Moat threads ended up being inadvertently hilarious.

BashfulClam · 19/02/2022 01:16

The poster from the ‘your minge’ post had all her posts deleted but this was it:

this has been on here before but it is my most shamefilled moment and i burn red thinking about it...
32 weeks pregnant with dc3 we went swimming, i had put my tankini on at home so i could see if i had a bad bikini line hanging out the bottom of my bottoms.
we went to the baths,dp got dd2 changed and gave me the armbands and rubber ring to 'sort' and so i just took my out door clothes off and 'met them on poolside' i was dutifully inflating the barbie rubber ring\armbands when dp started advancing down the side of the pool mouthing frantically 'wtf are you doing i can see your minge' i was puffing up the inflatables glaring at him as he gestured and mouthed 'your minge,i can see your minge' i looked on the little chair by the poolside and there,neatly folded,underneath the rubber ring were my tankini bottoms.
i don't know why i took them off,but i was stood inflating shit,by the pool while 'family swim' went on beside me.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 19/02/2022 01:18

The one that started in AIBU where a woman found a fake plastic vagina, which she assumed belonged to her STBXH. There was a bit of back & forth over whether it was his or not, whether she should leave a post it note hymen or some chilli oil as lube... then it took a very weird turn into men who have sex dolls as their 'partners' & what they get up to with them.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/02/2022 01:24

@FloodTheBathroom

Brian from Hull and the yoni massage. I was reading it live and it was hilarious.
Oh yes, I was there too! It was in Style&Beauty, of all places. So many creative namechanges on a Yoni theme Grin

One of my favourites is Hamwidge

camperqueen54 · 19/02/2022 01:28

This line cracks me up 🤣

The hard avocado.

Susu49 · 19/02/2022 01:38

I'm 6 posts into the t rex one and nearly crying with laughter!

MalloryMal · 19/02/2022 01:38

There was a thread where someone wanted advice on how many dominos pizzas to order for (I think) 5 10 year olds for a sleepover. Answers ranged from OP was basically committing child abuse and if they knew her they’d ring social services, through to one medium pizza to share between them and dotted in between those ridiculous posts and the normal posts we had people saying things like order 10 large pizzas with different toppings plus 5 garlic breads, 5 wedges, 5 boxes of chicken, 5 2l bottles of coke and don’t forget desserts.

You really can’t beat an MN food thread where you have people looking at a dominos leaflet and feeling full to people who eat 2 large dominos pizzas plus sides and then need to go to the little Tesco down the road for a cheesecake.

toomuchlaundry · 19/02/2022 01:42

Don’t know if it falls within this category, but someone accidentally resurrected an innocuous zombie thread, can’t remember what it was about, but a particular poster had posted on it when it first started. But the details this poster had included didn’t tally with all her current posts, and she was identified as someone who had made up a life for MN showing what a perfect mum they were and how crap the rest of us were. I seem to remember she said she lived in a bijou flat in London and her 2 children had to share her bedroom. But she had this perfect life which we should all have aspired too! It was very funny when she was outed, but also sad in a way as miss her posts and always wondered how her kids would have felt sharing a bedroom with their parents when teenagers!

DropYourSword · 19/02/2022 01:42

Surely the correct answer is 3 pizzas @MalloryMal!
