what is the funniest thing you've seen recently (lighthearted)

[brizzledrizzle]

OK, I'm having a bit of a crap day so could do with cheering up.

What is the daftest/funniest thing you've seen recently.

Mine was a dream catcher hanging from the rear view mirror of a car.

Have a look at these; some of them are hilarious!

... and hoping your day improves soon.

Gross, but...

...one of our old dogs has anal gland issues. DP has been taught by the vet to deal with it, by putting a condom on his two first fingers, and erm, inserting them into the offending area.

Last time he attempted it, DP managed to put his fingers through the condom. I don't know who's face was more appalled, his or the dogs.

I laughed so hard no sound was coming out and I thought I'd choke to death

Those pictures are hilarious :-)

MawkishTwaddle - your poor DH, how terrible! I know that kind of laugh :-)

This morning my 2yo son was farting, which of course he thinks is hilarious.
He was desperately trying to do more farts, was sticking his bum out and shouting 'more, mummy, more' (as if I'm in control of such things).

Saw this on another thread, SO funny, i was in stitches laughing at it.

I was early to collect the kids from school recently. The village was quiet and I had a view right down the street.
A very large man got out of a very small car and went around and opened his boot. When he leaned over it was obvious that his trousers were struggling to cover his ample rear.
He then stripped off his top layer of clothes to put on a different tshirt but he wasn't quick about it.
For several minutes he was for all intents and purposes naked! In the middle of a quiet village in the early afternoon.
I found it very amusing.

I teach year 1. I decided to do an elicitation lesson, finding out what the class knew about Christmas (aim was really to focus on traditions/religious aspects). Inevitably F. Christmas was popular. Apparently, he kills an elf every year .

I laughed like a complete fucking idiot when I saw this teawithmartians.tumblr.com/post/180259214899/chickenwhite-anoceanofmotion-snowflakeeel

My cat yesterday. I was eating a bag of M&Ms which she decided were a bag of dreamies (same shape, size and rustle factor) So I put them down and Dingcat grabs them in her mouth, shakes them and drops them, scattering them everywhere.

She's trying to eat them, but I quickly pick them up and throw them in the bin. (office type bin)

She then leaps into the bin after them and in the process knocks over a stack of CDs balanced precariously next to them.

All this took less than a minute

Google 'scottish granny reading wonky donkey'.

I tried to read wonky donkey to my class yesterday with similar results! (Having already seen the video it was all I could picture as I was reading!)

My dog slipped whilst running and then got up and carried on running like he hadn't fallen. It was the look of seriousness on his face that cracked me up

I was driving down the slip road onto a dual carriageway the other day when I saw a great big low loader type lorry coming towards me on the other side of the road. It had nothing loaded onto the back - apart from one of those red and yellow little tykes cars strapped in the middle.
Proper burst out laughing I did !

DD (6) excitedly charged her brand new mini remote controlled helicopter thing (bought this morning on a whim at TK Max) and we took it outside to try it out. We put it in the middle of the patio and then suddenly she grabbed the remote from me and started randomly pushing buttons. Next thing you know this little thing just flew straight up and disappeared off 100+ feet in the air like a ufo and off over the woods behind our house like an absolute shot. Between the look of pure shock on her face having effectively flung it out over the woods and the incredibly dramatic performance the tiny little thing gave was hilarious to me and I’ve been laughing all day. We haven’t been able find it- it’s gone forever probably! Less than 10 seconds it lasted !

I was crying with laughter at this... DH thought I'd lost the plot as I had headphones on

Someone tweeted this for some reason earlier today, and it had me crying laughing

Not saw, but heard -
We were playing a board game (me, DH and DD). It was DH's go, but DD had left the die in the middle of the board, where she'd thrown it (this grammatical pedantry is important).
DH: "Can you pass me the dice please?"
DD: "DIE!"
DH: "I only asked"

I ended up doing that painful, silent laughing.

On holiday at the moment and was very confused a couple of days ago when I got up from my sunlounger and could only find one flip flop.

I was hunting all around and a neighbouring English family helped me look, but it had completely disappeared.

I was baffled. Why the fuck would someone nick ONE of my flip flops? I’d had them both nicked in Thailand years ago which made more sense, but just one?

Finally gave up and accepted I’d have to hop for the rest of the week, and was just about to walk away when on old toothless northern bloke on a mobility scooter zoomed up, brandishing my flip flop. I vaguely recalled him going past about 20 mins before, and it turned out my flip flop had got stuck to the bottom of his scooter. He’d been trying to find the rightful owner since he’d realised.

I felt like a package holiday version of Cinderella 😂

Not too recent but it still amuses me. The German magazine Der Spiegel was doing a feature on the Queen for her 65th anniversary or something. They had a lovely photograph of her on the cover and decided to use the English word Queen but stick to the German feminine of 'the' so the words accompanying the photo were Die Queen. I'm sure there must have been someone in the office who realised the error!

Ive just almost spat my drink at an andveet for that VIPoo stuff with the tag line “the perfect secret Santa gift”

DD 13mo got one of those push along ride on truck things for her birthday. Naturally fell off it whilst DH pushed her along. I caught it on camera and although I feel like a terrible mother, it makes me laugh every time. (She was fine, got up and got straight back on, the kid is fearless)

I really laughed at the moray eel thing and then I read it out to dh and he laughed too.

I've thought of another one.

Was watching Gogglebox the other night with DS2. Someone exclaimed, 'There's a pube in my doughball!'

DS2 instantly deadpanned, 'Dear Liza, Dear Liza.'

I've been randomly chuckling out loud about it ever since

Was accompanying a pest controller on a visit to a building which had a cockroach problem. Pest controller was well over six foot, and built like a brick outhouse (this relevant). There was little panels in the walls of the building, that opened up so you could get into the cavity, and he’d placed roach traps in these.

He pulled a trap out of one of the panels and a HUGE roach shot straight up his sleeve. He let out a blood curdling scream, and jumped a foot in the air, which, given his exceptional height, meant he hit his head on the ceiling, leaving a huge dent in the tile, then collapsed on the floor rolling around frantically screeching “get it out” in a high pitched falsetto. 😂😂
