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 💐

Spud cunt

And

Cunt for the butter

I realise mine are very cunt heavy, so I'll throw in the Fat Match clothing failures thread too. Bloody funny. Lionel Richie and fat nan etc. And one woman said she bought a white beret and looked like a butcher?!

Angela Hernandez, pom bears, and yy to the witty one liners PP have said upthread- " it's your husband's semen, not wheelie bin juice", stuck with me too.

The thread that had "ermagerd, the Quern" and "err nerr, call nern nern nern" had me crying. Sadly it was deleted.

Not long ago there was a post about showering - do you physically wash your feet in the shower or just let the water and soap run down onto them?

One poster said you have to scrub every part of you because she can seriously smell you if you don’t scrub behind your ears 😂

The thread that had "ermagerd, the Quern" and "err nerr, call nern nern nern" had me crying. Sadly it was deleted.

I saw that ermagerd the quern thread - it was hilarious!!! I remember a few posters with name changes that night in tribute to the thread.

The one in classics which had me literally crying when I was trying to read it to DP was the pregnant woman and the swimming pool "YOUR MINGE!!!" Making me laugh all over again remembering it now hahaha

Cutted up pear was quite funny.

More recently the Slimming World lunch conversation "hooted like an owl" absolutely cracked me up.

The Korean lady didn't make me laugh out loud but it was very entertaining and I was desperate to keep reading to find out what happened. It was one of the loveliest threads I've read on here.

This thread also explains why the Sistine Chapel thread is suddenly trending again!

I love these types of threads where others share funny stuff that you might have missed, thank you OP!!

What was the ‘emergerd the quern’ thread about, can anyone remember?

It sounds very familiar, and I’m noticing the Hull accent so I think I might have been on it 😂

End of 2021 - this was a thread about it after it was deleted. There is reference to Hull in this thread about it so you could be right! 😅 www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4432461-To-miss-The-Quern-thread?page=2

"One poster said you have to scrub every part of you because she can seriously smell you if you don’t scrub behind your ears 😂"

That reminds me of a poster on a thread about fabric softener. She was very sniffy about anyone who did not use fabric softener, and said she could always tell when someone didn't use it.

Pollywoddles · 08/07/2022 03:33

I should know better than to read stuff like this when I’m trying to get the baby back to bed, my sniggering keeps waking her 😂

I really can’t help it though, too funny!

My favourite was the ‘I pooed on my skirt at work today’ thread so many hilarious posts on that one.

Yumsnet · 08/07/2022 03:41

The booble plate thread (in Classics) is my absolute favourite. Genuinely made me cry with laughter.

ChagSameachDoreen · 08/07/2022 03:48

On a thread about pronouns, someone said something like: "There are some weird ones now like bink/bonk, fae/foe, but generally I don't think it's a problem."

Another poster replied with "Speak for bonkself."

RaisinGhost · 08/07/2022 03:50

I was laughing recently when a poster on a thread about very tight people said her dad or whoever was so tight he'd "split a fart in half to get two smells out of it".

Kitkatcatflap · 08/07/2022 04:25

The one where a woman was trying to update her look and ordered a designer leather jacket only to discover it made her look ike Suzi Quattro's fat nan.

MrsAlfredShropshire · 08/07/2022 04:54

The Quern thread.

The Mumsnet version of 50 Shades of Grey. Particularly the line:

Bernard entered the room roughly, from behind.

Still brings tears to my eyes.

A very funny (tongue in cheek) thread about mums outdoing each other. One poster gloated about glueing letters on the end of her tampax to teach her unborn baby the alphabet.

Another post about elderly parents, one poster sai
d her parents would come to her house each with their own laptop to read their emails,even though it had been explained to them they could access them from any computer.

My favourite post was the one where a tired new mum brought her baby to the doctor, he asked her to put one hand on the his head and the other hand on his tummy. So she put the posed the baby with one hand on his head and his other hand on his little tummy. "Not the baby,YOU" The Dr dryly replied.

This was me!! The posed baby 😂 it still makes me and my mum giggle. He's 17 now.

HuntingoftheSnark · 08/07/2022 05:25

The autumn duvet set was very funny. Also the title "we need a bigger cat" instead of car, and the responses.

mrsfoof · 08/07/2022 05:29

T Rexing in Asda!

Blueberryella · 08/07/2022 05:42

The Korean lady..I still think of her sometimes!

HoppingPavlova · 08/07/2022 05:52

Yep, the T-Rexing.

Greenandcabbagelooking · 08/07/2022 05:57

The dying sheep thread

Dinoteeth · 08/07/2022 06:08

Presbyterian Tray Bake. Is funny and lovely at the same time.

Snapped and farted

This

Zoom101 · 08/07/2022 06:18

“Are you The Borrowers?” This was in response to a poster who uses a ‘standard’ (the actual size was never established) pack of mince to make 12 portions of food. Had me howling!

Ginfilledcats · 08/07/2022 06:18

I can’t believe there’s been 3 pages and no one has mentioned the ultimate classic: Mexican house thief. God that kills me

sistine chapel and snapped and farted were seriously funny too.

one I proper chuckled at once was a zombie thread, where poster had asked for pram reviews of x pram, then said op came back and unbeknownst replied to her own thread about x pram about 12m later. She had no idea it was her own thread and the comments were hilarious.

TranquilityofSolitude · 08/07/2022 06:26

The one I remember being helpless with laughter over was about Brian Cox. In particular, someone had explained that he really was an academic, with the helpful explanation that Drain Doctors and Professor Green were not!

Also, sinister Easter bonnet. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but it was a long time ago.
