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?

Two old favourites I always bring up on these threads:

There was a spate of threads at one time complaining about the terrible swearing on Mumsnet. "You are mothers, you shouldn't use language like that" etc. First response on one was "Off you fuck then, cuntychops".

And someone who was planning to emigrate to Canada, arguing with someone else who said she hadn't thought everything through. OP said something like you'd understand if you knew anything about Canada. Response: "I AM CANADIAN".

Woman gets on bus with little girl. Extremely fat man is sitting near them. Little girl catches Mum's eye and is clearly about to comment. Mum says 'Not now, darling, we'll talk about it later.' When they get up to get off, to Mum's horror little girl stops by man and says kindly 'We're not talking about you now, we're going to do it later.' Cracks me up every time I remember this one!

Northansoullover you are my favourite poster! It still makes me chuckle.

The ‘STARTING ROUTE TO..’ when the girl had put in the address of a nice looking guy in the office as he read it out (while sitting beside her)

I actually felt myself die inside for her when I read that thread. Was hilarious.

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

Oh my godess, and the one about which biscuits were RC or protestant.

I loved the thread about the bonkers things you've done when looking after a newborn. One lady dropped something on her baby's head then spent ages dropping it on to her own head to try and "recreate" the pain. Another forgot to put her baby's gloves on on a cold day, so she took her own gloves off in solidarity. So funny yet so relatable Grin

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.

I was going to post about this one too.

It's the first thread where I actually couldn't put it down and read well into the night.

The mums was ritually deluded and despite everyone telling her SWBU she though we were all being unreasonable for not understanding why she was going to allow it 🤷‍♀️🤣

Namechanger1002 · 08/07/2022 06:50

The Angela Hernandez thread. 😂
CAT me you cunt thread 😂
Definitely the I AM CANADIAN thread 😂
I used to weep with laughter at threads on here. Now they seem too try hard and just not funny.

Namechanger1002 · 08/07/2022 06:52

Wasn’t the super soaker thread a Mitmoo thread?
A poster did a brilliant post made purely out of Flowers that spelled out mitmoo. That made me laugh just for the sheer dedication of the poster to do it.

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.

I came here to say this one too. Think he thought they were big Scotch eggs 🤣

LadySpratt · 08/07/2022 07:01

The Sistine Chapel was hilarious.

There was once a thread about a woman dating a woke chap who started retching when he leant in to kiss her, after he had sprayed air freshener on his beard. I can’t remember much about the responses but the way the scene played out in my head had me in stitches. I’ll forever thank her for that one.

“Off you fuck, cuntychops” 😂

Stiff competition, but it was probably a thread about why a neighbour was constantly washing black bin bags.

Holy Fuck!

My new NDN does this too!!🤯

HeidiWhole · 08/07/2022 07:08

Going back years now but the Pom bears thread was gold.
Also Suzi Quattro's fat nan, Mexican house thief, 'your minge', the fat balls. Also the first 'minge mist' thread from a few years back.

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 😂

A few years ago there was a similar thread about how some women mistake the vulva for the vagina and don't wash it. One poster said that the water and soap that run down from her stomach is sufficient...

ReneBumsWombats · 08/07/2022 07:11

The fat balls one still makes me laugh.

An OP whose idiot boyfriend cheated on her and told her that the OW would give him sons (OP was infertile and had been entirely honest with him about that from the start). When asked if he came from a culture where someone might say something like that, she said he was entirely British, raised on Burberry and sexual repression and didn't have a crumbling grousing estate to leave to anyone. I laughed. Then OW dumped him, sonless, because she'd never wanted him to leave his girlfriend, so I laughed again.

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

Oh yes! had me crying too. Loved it!

Loved that story. She styled it out magnificently!

Nothing beats the penis beaker thread.

HannahSternDefoe · 08/07/2022 07:29

minou123 · 08/07/2022 00:20

I've said this on another thread.

A poster described Jacob Rees Mogg who looks like a man, who when he masturbates, dusts comes out.

I still think of it everytime I see him 😁

Ah, "The Dust Spaffer" Grin

velvetvixen · 08/07/2022 07:34

Do we still have the MN 50 shades thread? Sounds amazing! 😆

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 08/07/2022 07:38

I think one of the first threads I ever read on here was about the woman who had to drive down a narrow country lane every day, and every day she would meet another woman going in the opposite direction. The other woman always made the poster reverse to a passing place until she got fed up of it and refused to move

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 08/07/2022 07:40

This one! www.mumsnet.com/talk/mumsnet_classics/1194742-to-make-a-little-sign-for-this-woman

Cantbeliveyoufakeit · 08/07/2022 07:40

It's Booble Plate for me too, I was new to MN and that thread was a definite 'found my people' moment.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 08/07/2022 07:41

The Brian from Hull thread - 'my yoni says noni' 😂😂😂😂
