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

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 💐

Screaming in the Chapel it was a few years ago now but hilarious.

Ok, I’ve seen about a hundred references to this in the past few years, but could never find the thread. I’m begging - could someone link it please??? Or at least explain??? It is the Great Unsolved Mystery in my life!

The first thread I ever read was about super soakers. Along the lines of 'is it ok to bring super soakers to a kids birthday party'

Mumsnet: no, do not do it

OP 20 pages on still hadn't cottoned she would be totally out of order. The sharply funny vitriol cracked me up.

Thinking she probably did take them to the party lol

Classics is just a talk topic. Here www.mumsnet.com/talk/mumsnet_classics

VimFuego101 · 08/07/2022 01:02

'It's semen, not wheelie bin juice'. Can't even remember the context of the thread, maybe the OP was questioning whether she was wrong to want to shower straight after sex? But I still smirk whenever I think of it.

@Gingernaut and @knackeredagain I've seen people posting about those threads. I don't know how to get to classics though.

Let's see if I can reply properly this time 🤦‍♀️
Classics is just another talk topic here

I thought Snapped and Farted was hilarious when I thought it was a typo - the OP really didn’t seem to have noticed at first while everyone else on the thread was dying.

But then in became clear it was a stunt thread she’d posted for attention, and that was a lot less funny.

I also had my doubts about the Sistine Chapel thread.

The funniest post I’ve read was a poster on somebody else’s thread saying her MIL had been annoying her with her Christmas preparations, and she’d snapped and shouted “You’re the Christmas carcass!” at her MIL. It just made her sound so completely batshit.

Anyone remember the Scottish woman who tried to feed her postman her fud ? 😂😂

(Fudge ) fud means something else 😂

The DH who ate the fat balls from the fridge that their kids had made for the birds. "He thought I had left them for snacks!". I remember being up in the night feeding DD and waking DH up as I was laughing so much. I'm sure that thread must be in classics.

Ah yes, he thought they were 'artisan scotch eggs' 😂

That's my favourite MN thread ever. In our house, fat balls for the birds will forever be known as artisan scotch eggs.

ElEmEnOhPee · 08/07/2022 01:54

This one had me in stitches, might not be true cause it seems a bit far fetched but it didn't matter because just the thought of it happening had me crying with laughter.

The one where a tradie working at the OPs house did a poo in a box and her dog ate it. The tradie then came back looking for it and was in a panic unable to find it all while the OP was watching and wondering whether to tell him she found it and put it in the bin for him 😂

BigCheeseSandwich · 08/07/2022 02:05

Another classic: there was a baby name thread years ago where someone posted "everyone hates the name we chose". Everyone on the thread came on to say "your baby your rules" "they'll come round" but eventually the poster, pages later, revealed the name was "Slithery".

OMG, it is everything I imagined it to be!

sashh · 08/07/2022 02:17

The one with people having sex in a bush, someone suggested it was foxes and the OP replied, "Foxes don't ask for a finger up the bum".

Also T-Rexing.

AquaVite · 08/07/2022 02:27

I never lol'ed at Penis Beaker or Snapped and Farted, but I remember years ago, someone describing being so exhausted that they thought they needed to stuff an entire French baguette into a kettle.

I recall they felt proud that they'd managed to get the whole thing in.

BlackeyedSusan · 08/07/2022 02:27

pretty sure it was a hedge, though as hedges are made up of individual bushes....

Snapped and farted wasn’t real?! I remember being on that thread and it makes me so proud to be at the birthplace of such a mumsnet classic moment. Knowing it wasn’t real just ruins the whole thing. (I was pretty new to mumsnet at the time, I don’t think fake posts would have been on my radar, they definitely are now!)

The tiny wanker one got me

And the cutted up pear .

And the tiny Vietnamese woman in the garden

I think the tiny woman was Korean.

I remember laughing a lot at Christians vs dinosaurs, but assume it was made up.

GetOffTheTableMabel · 08/07/2022 02:41

“Doing the T-Rex in the supermarket” had me absolutely crying. It seems to resurface occasionally and I don’t actually care get whether it’s a genuine post or not. The replies are comedy gold.
