Stupid, inspiring, funny .... what ever it was, what is your most memorable comment on MN.

Mine was a poster who said her grandma once told her the secret to a successful marriage is "don't both fall out of love at the same time"

☝️ has stuck with me

Ermagerd! The Quern!

This was my first thought. I never laugh out loud at stuff in reality but that time I did.

There was a hilarious farting thread that I still giggle about. Poster was putting a baby in the cot. The baby let out a little fart. The poster laughed and did machine gun farts then turned round and guests were waiting to say goodbye 😂

One of these is mine under a previous name. Feel quite smug about it!

Where can I find the ousted nanny one?

Penis beaker was a fab one, also the Mexican (I think) holiday house thief.

phrases I’ve stolen from here are ‘off you pop cuntychops’ and ‘absolute gammon’

My favourite was the poster whose child came home complaining that the lasagne he’d been given for lunch didn’t taste very nice. She opened the tub and found that her husband had given him the fat scraps she’d been collecting for the birds.

The best bit was that she had actually labelled the tub “fat for birds” but her DH had taken the label off lest it embarrass their child 😂

ScreamingMeMe · 22/07/2022 19:13

This. Still makes me howl.

"Haircuts can be buggers for this too.

More than once I've aimed for a Louise Brooks bob and instead achieved Hamble off Playschool or Richard III.

And we don't talk about the bright red pixie crop that made me look like a fat match"

Perfect pairings, hilarious but got taken to far. Some kind person led me to snapped and farted which really made me laugh.
Some of these are brilliant. I love the one liners that folk come back with so witty.

ShowOfHands · 22/07/2022 19:47

Skin up yer cunt and "WHO ARE YOU THE GRAMMER POLICE" both from the Bounty invasion.

That young whipper snapper trying to explain the Interwebs to a largely female demographic was hilarious and as noted above, the poster who'd just been banging her tits on the keyboard was a highlight.

Chris DoodleDoo Corcoran dropping by to talk about vitamins was good fun. I think we were supposed to ask insightful questions but opted instead for asking which spider was the biggest prick before offering to doodle doo him.

Ohhh and the night HQ were partying and left the work experience gal in charge...

PussInSchmoots · 23/07/2022 11:43

Does anyone have a link for the lady who thinks she doesn’t have any mum friends because she’s attractive and so is her husband?! 🙃

DontPassMeBy · 23/07/2022 17:20

I love all the threads about toddlers saying embarrassing things. Also read a great one today from the Mumsnetter who claims to know everything about you on an AMA thread. Someone asked what they should name their squirrel, and she said, "Jacob Trees-Mogg".

There was a thread about an op buying a clothing item and expecting to look like someone/something (I forgot what she expected to look like) and in reality she turned out to look like a middle aged karate instructor. I've looked for the thread and can't find it but her description made me lol

Ah yes, I saw that one. It was quite recently I think. Very funny.

Another vote for the owl. I hadn't come across the minge one but that might be my new favourite.

SleepingAgent · 23/07/2022 23:29

I've just reread the fashion disasters expectation v reality one and it is as brilliant as I remembered. Howling!

ThomasinaGallico · 23/07/2022 23:59

There is a recent one (the work do drunkenness thread) with one post that’s had me giggling: the one about the kilt-clad colleague who ‘sharted into his special Scottish socks’.

lot123 · 24/07/2022 07:14

I think there must be two as that wasn't the one I was talking about. Although it's equally amusing. Olivia Pope....

Maggiesgirl · 24/07/2022 07:25

Many many many moons ago. A MN's DH was trying to find the leak in their pool by wearing goggles snorkel and flippers and swimming about on the inside.

She was modified as was getting ready for some sort of party and guests arrived as he was doing it.

WelshDaffodil · 24/07/2022 08:29

I read one thread about chaos caused by kids. The kids had been hitching the dogs to a small trailer (like a horse to a wagon) when the doorbell rang. Kids and dog-trailer hybrid leapt up and rushed to the door, knocking over bookshelves etc in their wake. The delivery guy at the door was shocked at the devastation. The choice of words had me crying laughing.

I haven't been able to find the thread again, if anyone sees it, please link it!

ChinnyTroubles · 24/07/2022 09:28

And we don't talk about the bright red pixie crop that made me look like a fat match

That one line is so brilliant 😂

PugInTheHouse · 24/07/2022 10:03

I can't remember what the thread was about but something to do with an office and I think it was the OP whose autocorrect turned her word into 'fisting'. The sentence still made sense and of course derailed the whole thread.

I thought snapped and farted was funny at first as assumed it was a typo. Once I realised it wasn't it just made it look like the OP had said it on purpose but to make it seem unintentionally funny it wasn't particularly amusing.

Tiny wanker makes me laugh every time.

@KatherineJaneway @PuckeredArseFace @Furries
I found the comment! On the thread 'I pooed on my skirt at work today'😂

ShatnersBassoon ·
Just remembered I have a flatulent mother story.

My mum had had a pretty awful stomach bug when stopping at our house, and ended up collapsing. We called an ambulance, and when they arrived, she was conscious but confused and retching into a washing up bowl. With every retch, she was releasing Tommy Squealers and after every one she said to the ambulance man "I'm so sorry Alan". We have no idea what the man's name was, but the chances of it being Alan are extremely slim Grin

Thanks @EmbroidedFlowers

Idunnowhyibother · 26/07/2022 20:24

In one post the OP describes her nether regions as resembling David Bellamy saying Wow........my DH and I sat reading that entire thread in absolute hysterics. It's my favourite ever phrase and one I can never work into conversation.

Squiff70 · 26/07/2022 23:31

And another. The OP who said she had "literally just twatted a spider to death" following the discovery of her arachnid friend upon wiping after a wee.
