People talking in really high, squeaky voices (helium induced or on the radio/tv when they are pretendign to be flies/bees etc)

Dogs walking into things

Cats falling off furniture

Toddlers being furious and pointing and explaining in toddler language just why they are so furious and expecting you to understand.

Babies dressed as bees/pumpkins/christmas puddings

What things never cease to amuse you?

People tripping up in the street, especially if they look around quickly hoping nobody saw.

Happens to me all the time though, karma I guess Grin

Oh and Farts, especially from children

Dogs falling over or "going wrong" always, always makes me laugh.

My sister used to wiggle her little finger at me when we were younger which, for no known reason at all would set me off laughing hysterically.

My friend's DS was dressed up as a pumpkin whilst ranting and geticulating wildly at a party on sunday. It was funny come to think of it.

Mumcentreplus · 05/11/2010 20:49

People falling over/tripping and then trying to style it out..Grin

thefirstmrsDeVeerie · 05/11/2010 20:49

Nothing funnier than a two year old in high dudgeon (unless they are a two year old dressed as a pumpkin) Grin

Teenage boys 'bowling' along with their jeans round their arses.

Specially in places like Surrey or North Devon.

So 'street'

DH laughing at slapstick (which I hate_. Don't know why but something about his particular slapstick watching laugh cracks me up everytime.

telling the story of Ds1 throwing nuts at squirrels always makes me laugh:

He was throwing nuts at these poor squrriels, I kept telling him to stop,one of them ran up a tree to safety, grabbed a nut and threw it hitting ds square on the nose. at the time I couldn't speak as I laughed so much, much to his bemusement, poor ds (laughing now)Grin.

whoknowswhatthefutureholds · 05/11/2010 20:52

also people running for abus, missing it, then trying to pretend the don't care. 9also happens to me all the time)

Mumcentreplus · 05/11/2010 21:00

Yeah I like the running for a bus too Grin...

Once years ago an older woman was running for a bus i was on...

she actually fell face first on to the pavement ..

the bus continued to wait, she got up and continued to run got on the bus...everyone gave her a round of applause!!..Grin

hilarious and yet you had to respect her tenacious attitude!!

OH had to ring up the GP to make an appointment re having a vasectomy. He didnt even mention why he needed the appointment to the receptionist but I just couldnt stop laughing the whole time he was on the phone.

I was giggling like a loon. OH just kept flicking me Hmm looks.

animals dressed in clothes
duff notes when playing an instrument (les dawson style)
most things bum related (pathetically)
the face people make when they slip and try to save themselves

PatTheHammerHouseofHorror · 05/11/2010 21:15

This is starting to sound like an episode of 'You've been framed'Grin

I love that old lady falling on her face story

HumphreyCobbler · 05/11/2010 21:18

I am laughing at the squirrel story

thefirstmrsDeVeerie · 05/11/2010 21:19

I always laugh at my kids laughing at 'youve been framed'

They love watching people get hurt.

Should I be worried?

The You've been framed type clip of a cat falling off a tv makes me laugh every time and DD's laughing hysterically at something only they find funny.

StarExpat · 05/11/2010 21:31

I haven't read this whole thread but mumcentreplus I wonder if you live near me? Blush before having ds (before becoming pg, even) this happened to me! I fell flat on my front running for the bus - then when I got on, people were applauding me Blush.
Shock if we were on the same bus a little over 3 years ago!

hehehe Madam you can't beat a good style-out that increases the mirth...cats are the best at it!

My cat no longer with us..but the memories live on...we gave her a scare and she jumped about 4ft in the air...of course afterwards she looked at us with total disgust and pretended thats what she does everytime she walks past the bedroom..Grin
