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?

Showing my age, but the DENTINOX/Slurm colic cure thread from aeons ago still makes me laugh. Mostly thanks to Bruxeur.
I don't want to post it in case it gets deleted. It was a different time and would get zapped nowadays.

LunaTheCat · 19/02/2022 04:37

I keep trying to find the Sistine Chapel one but can’t find - if somebody can find a link would be appreciated.

crumpet · 19/02/2022 04:49

Years back there was a fabulous thread - think poster has now deleted - about someone who’d put her knickers in her sons lunchbox

Ducksurprise · 19/02/2022 04:49

And mine Elfsum I agree it wouldn't be left to stand now.

I hadn't read the fridge one before I enjoyed it.

Dustyblue · 19/02/2022 04:53

Oh my, I just wasted an hour reading Brian From Hull and the Elderly Korean Lady in the garden. My face hurts from laughing.

1fluffydoodle · 19/02/2022 04:58

The one with the woman whose neighbour put patio doors onto her garden , it also featured her Spanish granny...... it was hilarious

MinnieJackson · 19/02/2022 05:08

I loved the lemon drizzle cake one. I think it's in classics 😁

itsgettingweird · 19/02/2022 05:16

The super soaker thread

The one where the toddler fell in a restaurant and hit head in a table and the woman wanted to sue the restaurant for having the table there!

And "I've literally just twated a spider"

crazybeelady · 19/02/2022 05:36

The one where the OP had a workmen in her house. He went out for awhile and her dog found a box outside with a poo his pop in it. The workman came back and was frantically looking for his poo box. Funniest thing I’ve ever read. I would love ro read that again

PrawnDrench · 19/02/2022 06:02

Pom Bears anyone? Bear

Womencanlift · 19/02/2022 06:14

@LunaTheCat somebody posted the link earlier in this thread

For me the FIL not serving the OP the expensive champagne and her having to “make eyes” at her DH to get her some

And then more recently an OP being unhappy that her PIL wouldn’t let her chill out at their house when they had arrived late and they had an event to go to

Those two were definitely written by the same, entitled person but were funny

Bel1991 · 19/02/2022 06:24

@Cheekypeach

The one where an overly keen attachment parent type was spitting feathers over family/friends/members of the public touching her toddler DS without permission, and asked whether printing off ‘bodily autonomy’ cards for him to hand out to people who approached him was a good idea.

Fucking. Nuts.

ShockTbh if members of the public were touching my child without permission I'd be doing more than writing a friendly card
catinboots123 · 19/02/2022 06:27

@lucysmam

The one where the OP was wondering about warming the plates in the tumble dryer before serving dinner on them. Still makes me chuckle thinking about it now 🤣
What?
KatherineJaneway · 19/02/2022 06:30

Here's the FIL champagne one 🍾

Tinitiny · 19/02/2022 06:41

Oooooh, cutted up pear is one of my faves.
And the fatball one 😆

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 19/02/2022 06:42

A recent one where the OP wanted to know if there was any exercise she could do that wouldnt make her sweat, because it was inconvinent to time exercise with hair washing.

Russell19 · 19/02/2022 06:43

The one where ops ExDP fed the kids badger in the woods

Poppop4 · 19/02/2022 06:43

Off I go to read some of these.

Your minge is a firm favourite of mine, as is penis beaker.

MrsSchadenfreude · 19/02/2022 06:48

Can I just mention that I NAMED BRIAN FROM HULL with his yoni massage.

It’s the only thing of note that I have ever done on here.Grin

WutheringHeights66 · 19/02/2022 06:50

@StarryNightSparkles

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 😕

I read that!

She never came back did she and said “you were all wrong MN, we had a great week on the slopes, two non skiing adults taking three non skiing kids on a button lift and gliding down the slopes”.

chocolateorangeinhaler · 19/02/2022 06:54

The woman who kept ordering vair expensive Italian glass vases from Italy after brexit then being outraged at the import tax. She got a roasting on here. Then for some inexplicable reason did it again and posted another thread along the same line. She was Sussex out instantly and got another roasting.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 19/02/2022 07:04

@WutheringHeights66 and @StarryNightSparkles there was a Ski update! Apparently it all went perfectly. The trip was to Sweden and they spent the week on the tiny hills and worked it all out for themselves. And want to go again...

GeneLovesJezebel · 19/02/2022 07:06

The one where someone said they put their toilet brush in the dishwasher to clean it, and someone believed them 🤣🤣

Tinitiny · 19/02/2022 07:07

Well this sent me down the rabbit hole of Classics.
The spoon rest thread made me cry. Only on MN x
