What's the funniest thing you have ever read on MN?

[Noglassjustthebottleandastraw]

A few weeks ago there was a thread that was really funny. I literally couldn't move for laughing at one of the comments. Think it was something like "did you smash your tits on the keyboard and press send" most days since, this comment has popped into my mind and made me laugh so much.

So who ever posted that comment thanks so much 💐

What's the funniest thing you have ever read on MN?

Yes this for me the Sistine Chapel screaming and asking if it was normal 😂

I also loved the pushchair one where the OP replied to herself years later

The Sharon one, and for ages people would say on random threads "is that you Sharon?" after

Mumsnet used to have such funny posts. I used to be regularly in hysterics at some of the comments. I honestly haven't even so much as chuckled here for well over a couple of years. I still like the site overall and enjoy reading it but there are no longer any funny posts.

Most attempts at light-hearted posts these days get squashed under all the posts from people competing to be the most deliberately obtuse in claiming to not understand. There's very little of the razor-sharp wit in evidence that used to make threads like the spray painted pigeon or "is my fridge Jewish?" so funny.

Maybe we're all too cynical and troll-wary nowadays.

I still see funny things. I laugh a fair bit.

A couple of years or so ago there was a woman whose partner cheated on her and said that the OW could bear him sons (OP was infertile and partner had known this before they started going out). Someone asked if he was from a culture where that mattered and she said no, he was as British as Burberry and sexual repression and didn't have a crumbling grousing estate to leave to anyone. I'm laughing again now.

Oh, and then the OW couldn't believe he'd endss his relationship to be with her and told him to piss off. Then I laughed all over again.

I think one of my favourite ever was a thread called “His Little Shirt”. Search for it, it’s worth it 😆

And "he has eaten a fat ball".

Brian from Hull and his massage. The follow up posts were hilarious.

"My yoni says noni."

Canadian was many years ago.
OP's : "did you smash your tits on the keyboard", the other day, made me laugh, and has made me smile many times since.

I saw a pouffe in a charity shop the other day and instantly thought of that thread 🤣🤣

There was a thread where OP suspected her DH was having an affair because, amongst other things, he'd started trimming his pubic hair.

One of the replies just said

Ancient Chinese proverb: Man who tidies house, expects visiter
😂

Poster A was arguing with poster B about what person C had told her in real life. Poster B was person C - but I wasn’t going to out her!

There was a brilliant PFB Confessions thread years ago. My favourites were the mum who squirted baby shampoo in her eyes to check the ‘no more tears’ claim, and another who had attended a dinner party where the toddler of the house was newly potty training. Just before their first course he did a poo in the potty and was solemnly led around the table by his parent to present the potty to every guest so that they could praise him.

I agree with pp that the really funny threads are few and far between these days, especially since we have lost such treasures as the much-missed CatThiefKeith. That being said, there was a fantastic thread a few months ago about craving Coke, but OP and several others’ autocorrects changed it to ‘cock’. One sanctimonious poster said that ‘cock’ would rot your insides and spike your insulin, to which someone else said ‘if it’s doing that you are definitely doing it wrong.’

@WomanStanleyWoman2
Do you have the link for his little shirt please? Search function doesn't bring it up.

😯🤣

How horrible!! I'll file that in mind

This is ace! I know what she means. He is like a throwback from the Victorian era. I was actually shocked to realise that he was married!

It wasn't funny but I can never forget it. On a thread about awful dates/partners, one poster said an ex partner used to refer to their genitals as he and she and would say "he likes it when she does that". Eugh!

The one where the OP was complaining of too much bad language being used around here.

Wasn't the 1st response something like "Well, off you fuck, cunty chops"

😁

The woman who stuck a garlic clove up her bum to treat worms then it backfired while she was at work disastrously
